"I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice."
-Casey Stengel
The IronPigs return home tonight for the first of two with P'tucket, just off a 6-game road swing. They creep towards the playoffs continuing to play middling .500 ball.
They were 3-3 on the road trip. They were 3-3 in the six games leading up to the road trip. They were 3-3 on the six-game home stand prior to that! Overall, they are 14-14 in August!
Will it be enough to win 3-of-5 in a playoff series with Scranton? We shall see–we'll need to make sure we can beat Rochester first. More on that tomorrow.
The deficit to Scranton is now 4.0 games; the lead in the wild card is now 3.5 over Rochester. We're riding a wave of mediocrity towards a potential post-season bid. Nevertheless, the wins on the road trip clinched the best season ever for the IronPigs (percent-wise) and tied for the most wins ever (2011) and clinched the most road wins ever (42).
It's been a successful season, but how we remember it will ultimately be decided by what happens over the next week–or two or three.
Roster News
No roster moves to speak of right now; however, it has been said in Philadelphia that the Phillies expect to call up two relievers on Friday (9/2). If it's a lefty and a righty, that's probably Araujo and Garcia, our two best relief arms right now. Or, they could raid Reading for one (Cordero) and us for the other (Schuster) or something along those lines. If they're no longer enamored of Hermann, they could return him in exchange, as well. If they take Hinojosa, I'll consider signing up for season tickets next year or buying a ton of merchandise as a way to thank them.
Other than that, and barring any injury or other problem, I expect rosters to stay about as-is both here and in Reading as we limp down the stretch…
P'tucket returns to town, following two games up there during the just-completed road trip, and three here in Allentown earlier this month. This amount of games in proximity creates some interesting match-up situations.
First Pitch: 7:05pM Gates: 5:45PM Club: 5:30PM
Many seats still remain for tonight's game.
Big RHP Phil Klein (4-1, 1.72) our erstwhile ace of late, takes the mound to face the Paw Sox' RHP Justin Haley (7-5, 4.02)
Klein has been a find, since coming over on a waiver claim from Texas. He often uses a lot of pitches and dodges bullets, but has the experience to handle the pressure and perform under adverse conditions. He went 7.2 innings his last time out–against this very P'tucket squad, and allowed 5 hits, 1 earned run, and had 7 strikeouts.
Haley has faced Lehigh Valley his last two times through the rotation, getting lit up for 9 runs at Coca Cola Park on 8/17, but yielding only 3 in a 8/25 start in P'tucket. He lost both games, but may benefit some from facing the same team for a third time in a row.
Or, will the IronPigs batters benefit from seeing the same pitcher three times over only a couple weeks? That's the question to be answered tonight.
The other thing to watch is how the relievers do after Klein exits. It's a potential problem I see lurking on the horizon as well scuffle towards the playoffs.
- Wall Calendar Night (7,000 Adults) — always an excellent job by Nacci Printing. This year, look for some photos from our very own Cheryl Pursell! (I've been told…)
- Dog Day #6
- IronHeads Night (oops; I never returned my RSVP. Darn.)
No issues to report. It is starting to get cooler later in the evenings, though.
In IronPigs Today tomorrow look for a quick preview of the Rochester away-and-home series which will close this season and ultimately determine our playoff fate. Should we be fortunate enough to hold on for the post-season, "Get The Red Out" will be our IronPigs playoff column.
See you at the park,

Puleo ready to race to the wire in Sk Liteswaterford
Press release from the New London-Waterford Speedbowl
WATERFORD — There is a dead heat in the SK Lite Modified standings at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl and Jonathan Puleo of Branford is in the thick of it.
Puleo, 14, and an SK Lite rookie, is tied with Wayne Burroughs for the point lead with two races remaining. Race No. 1 of the two-race tussle for the trophy will take place Saturday as part of the Speedbowl's eight-division race program. The final race will take place during the Speedbowl's finale from October 20-21.
Puleo, however, says his game plan for the final two races will be the same strategy he has used for the first 11 races,
"I just have to keep my nose clean and keep doing what we've been doing all season," Puleo said. "We just have to run our own race and be consistent. I really can't be concerned about anyone else's race."
So far the strategy has helped him grab five victories, the most in the division, including a breath taking come-from behind win on Sept. 29 when he buzzed underneath Burroughs on the final lap.
"I think that move came from watching Keith Rocco race since I was five," said Puleo, referring to Waterford's all-time win leader. "I always wanted to try one of his moves. In the race, I tried the top groove a few times and it wasn't working. So I just went under the 32. I know the 32 was doing everything he could do to win, so I had to do everything I could do to win.
"I remember when Keith Rocco was the young guy at the Bowl and wanted to win and would run his race and stay out of trouble. I wanted to do the same thing. I've learned a lot just by watching Keith Rocco all these years."
Rocco also helps with the car set-up along with Puleo's dad, Ed Puleo, a former Speedbowl champion.
"I think my dad and Keith have given me the best car," Puleo said. "I just have to do my thing. It's all up to me when I get out there."
Puleo's car has been known to get better as the race goes on — several of his wins have been come from behind efforts.
"It's all about being consistent," Puleo said. "The cars are so even in this division that you need to have a good car at the beginning of the race and at the end. You can't afford to have a drop-off."
Especially when the point standings are as close as they are between Burroughs and him.
"We had a good lead at the start of the season and then Wayne started getting better," Puleo said. "And now we have a good battle. I've really had a good time racing with him for the last two weeks, I hope it can continue for the last two races."
Puleo's sponsors include Mr. Rooter Plumbing, Graybar, Tick Free Organic Tick Control, Santoro Development, Big A Auto Parts of North Branford, Honest John's Used Cars, Critical Signs, Keith Rocco, Hamilton Market, Hocon Industrial Gas, Race Choice, Race Dog Photography, Waddell Communications and Foxon Park.
His dad Ed is the crew chief. Other crew members include Spotter Steve, Uncle Carl Dempsey, Steve Godfrey, Glenn Francis, Matt Crowley, Rob Janovic Jr., John Volpe and Gotta.
"I never thought I would be in this position at this time of the season," Puleo said. "But my goal since the start of the season was to win as many races as possible. There's no reason to change now.
"I have a good team and I trust the guys. Guys like Rob Janovic are keeping me in check, making sure I don't get too excited. I just can't wait to see how this plays out and hopefully the No. 57 can get a couple of wins.
"But right now, we have blinders on."
That's because he doesn't want to be blinded by the glare of the Big Trophy until after the season is over.
Speedbowl notes
Saturday's race program will be a combination of regular divisions and touring divisions. The NEMA Midgets, NEMA Lite Midgets and American Three-Quarter Midgets will be competing in features that were postponed from Wings & Wheels on Aug. 11. Randy Cabral is the point leader of the NEMA Midgets and Danny Cugini leads the NEMA Lites. Matt Janisch is the point leader in the Three-Quarter Midgets by 24 points over Joey Bailey.
Five of the Speedbowl's weekly divisions also will be competing — the SK Modifieds, the SK Lites, the Late Models, the Sportsman and the Mini Stocks.
In the SK Modifieds, Kyle James leads by 31 points over Rob Janovic and by 36 over Todd Owen. Anthony Flanney leads Jason Palmer by 3 points in the Late Models. Shawn Gaedeke has a 32-point cushion over Jason Chicolas and only needs to finish higher than Chicolas in the 30-lap feature to lock up the title. Charles Canfield has an 8 point margin over Doug Curry in the Mini Stocks.
Drifting display
Fans will be treated to a 15-minute exhibition of drifting competition, with cars going sideways all around the Speedbowl. Drifting took place Sept. 23 at the Motor Jam and was well received by the fans.

On November 29, 2013, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton released a survey that sounded the alarm: unless there is mobilization to facilitate business transfers, the current entrepreneurial shortage will have major consequences for the Quebec economy.
Éric Dufour, Partner at the Chicoutimi office and National Business Transfer Leader, gave several interviews on this subject, and several media also relayed the news. The Quebec Government also reacted through the Parliamentary Assistant to the Premier for youth issues, Léo Bureau-Blouin.
The news generated plenty of reactions and strong visibility in the traditional and social media.

Evander Kane's three-year stint with the Winnipeg Jets has been one marked with a lot of issues. He had a career-best season in his first year with the Jets, but has since leveled off. The problem, though, appears to be his relationship with the media.
If there's anyone on Winnipeg's roster who's faced nonstop scrutiny from the local press, it's Kane. It seems as though he can't sneeze without someone calling him out for it. As such, Kane's been a bit of a polarizing player for the Jets. After being healthy scratched a few times this season, people are starting to wonder if this relationship is on its last legs, as well as if Kane even wants to be in Winnipeg anymore.
A recent radio interview did no help in putting out those flames. On Team 1040 Radio, Kane was asked multiple times if he wanted to be a Jet, and all he could really say was, "Well, I think I'm a Winnipeg Jet right now and there's been speculation and rumors for the three years since I got there. So we'll see what happens and we'll carry on as I'm a Winnipeg Jet." When pressed on the subject, he continued to dance around it.
GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said at the recent NHL Draft that he was open to listening to offers for players on his current roster, so this plus Kane's comments yesterday should definitely perk the ears of any interested parties. The bottom line, it would appear, is Kane just doesn't want to be in Winnipeg, and don't be surprised if he's wearing another team's jersey next season.
Kane has essentially been preparing to be dealt at least once a season during his time with the Jets, and it certainly can't make him feel like he's wanted there. It would explain why he always seems to be hedging his bets whenever asked about his opinion on the team.
As for the aforementioned media issues, he gets a ton of negative attention, but some is his own fault. He's run into issues like unpaid traffic tickets and assault lawsuits, and these things only magnify any sort of hiccup he may cause. Press and fans alike have called Kane out for lack of motivation and interest at an almost routine rate. At one point, he was criticized for not showing up to camp a good three days before it even started. If Kane's relationship with the Jets front office is considered "heated," his relationship with the media could probably be listed as "nuclear."
In terms of actually dealing him, there are a few things to consider. First of all, his contract isn't as appealing as Winnipeg would like. He still has four years left on his current deal, coming with an annual cap hit of $5.25 million. Any interested teams would need to either have enough space to take that in, or shed contracts on their own end. At 22 years of age, though, Kane could very well be worth the investment.
On the Jets' end, they would need sizable return. The team is already staring at a roster few would call imposing, so getting rid of any more talent can't happen without getting some back. If they didn't do so, expect the backlash from Winnipeg fans to be insane.
Following the recent events, it's just hard to see Kane back in Winnipeg next season. He's a player worth going after in the trade market, and I hardly see his relationship with the team and city taking a huge turn towards improvement anytime soon.

Sagittarius and Cancer Compatibility Requires Some Patience for Love.
Sagittarius and Cancer Relationship
These two zodiac signs don't come together flawlessly, but with some effort and patience, the Sagittarius and Cancer love compatibility can definitely thrive. At first, you may feel like there is no chemistry, but over time, you may find that a Cancer is exactly what you've been looking for – and need!

Sagittarius men are definitely the thrill seeker, which is totally opposite to Cancer. You're constantly on the hunt for new adventures and social experiences, while Cancer is very content being at home, enjoying the domesticated side of life.
This could cause some difficulties within your love affair, but it could also provide many new opportunities and pleasures for the both of you. You may have to slow down at times, and Cancer may have to kick up the pace, but once you find a middle ground, this love affair can certainly be mutually satisfying!

Anyone Can Be Saved- Essays
Anyone Can Be Saved- Essays
A Defense of "Traditional" Southern Baptist Soteriology
Anyone Can Be Saved articulates a biblical-theological explanation of the doctrine of salvation in light of the rise of Calvinistic theology among Southern Baptist churches in the United States. Ten scholars, pastors, and leaders advocate for the ten articles of the Traditional Statement by appealing to Scripture, the Baptist Faith and Message, and a variety of Biblical, theological, and philosophical writings. Although many books address the doctrine of salvation, these authors consciously set aside the Calvinist-Arminian presuppositions that have framed this discussion in western theology for centuries. The contributors are unified in their conviction that any person who hears the gospel can be saved, a view that was found among earlier Baptists as well as other Christian groups today. This book is not meant to be the final word on Southern Baptist soteriology, but is offered as a peaceable contribution to the wider conversation on the doctrine of salvation.

An exciting new year ahead - Newborn & Wedding Photography
As a new year dawns, I'm not really one to make New Years' Resolutions, but I do like to reflect upon the previous year and also make both business and personal goals for the year ahead.
2015 was a massive year for Rachel Sherman Photography. I photographed just over 100 sessions throughout the year and also shot 10 weddings. I sold my other publishing/newspaper business to focus on photography full-time and even custom-built my own newborn photography studio.
In doing so, I decided that the focus for my business going forward would be to specialise in both wedding and newborn photography – or life's 'new beginnings' as I like to call it!
I was awarded with a Highly Commended prize in the North West and New England Bride's Choice Awards and was also recognised as an Accredited Professional Photographer with the Australian Institute of Professional Photography, after having my portfolio undergo extensive assessment by industry professionals.
Within my business, I had set myself several benchmark and financial goals – most of which I met (although I still need to work on staying within a set allowance for prop purchases!!)
So, going forward, I'm also in the process of setting myself my goals for the coming year and updating my business plan.
There will be a few minor changes for the business in 2016, including the introduction of set terms and conditions for photography sessions – which will clearly set out when deposits are required, when final payments are required and other such regulatory conditions.
I will also be limiting my weekend work. My family is my number one priority and with my husband running the farm and my daughter starting school this year, our weekends are precious. I am now photographing full-time, so am able to schedule sessions five days a week. Of course I understand that some people can only make weekends. So, I will be working certain weekends each month, however an additional fee for weekend sessions is likely.
I am also in the process of putting together some new all-inclusive 'First Year' packages for bubs. A great way to document the first year of your bub's life!
And finally – something that I'm not sure whether I am excited about or a bit fearful of….I will be doing my best to encourage clients to purchase wall-art as part of their product options after their sessions. Now, I hate doing sales at the best of times, but what I am quite passionate about it displaying your images. If you've gone to the trouble of having a photoshoot, you should invest in some amazing wall-art to showcase the amazing moments captured during your session.
Believe me, you will be so happy you've done it – to have a big canvas on your wall will be something you will show off to everyone who walks into your home.
I only use suppliers who have superior quality products (because that's what my clients deserve).
And finally, I will continue to work towards my professional development, attending various workshops and conferences, learning more about not only the artistic side of photography, but the business side as well.

bug in get_extra commuting patch
This bug is triggered if for whatever reason Darcs finds itself in a position where a patch which is shared by both repos appears to depend on a patch which is local to one of them only. Such a dependency would be absurd. We can divide this error into three known cases:
- Darcs thinks a patch is shared, but it's actually local to one of the repositories
- The contrary: Darcs mistakenly believes a shared patch is local
- There is a real dependency and it indicates a deep Darcs bug (see issue1014, where due to Darcs 2 semantics wrt duplicate patches a common patch really can depend on two different local patches)
So what do you do when you see an error message like this? Contact the darcs team (firstname.lastname@example.com) so that we can try to develop a workaround together. Try also to determine if you have been bitten by one of the known cases above or if you may have found yet another way to trigger this error :-(
darcs convert fails!
The problem: Suppose you have a plain darcs 1 repository, and want to convert it to darcs 2 format, and get an error message of the following type:
darcs failed: Error applying hunk to file foo
What are possible problems, and their solutions?
One possible cause is that you have some "corrupt hunks" within some of your patches. Old fashioned repositories used by Darcs 1 were prone to this sort of corruption. Darcs-2 uses hashed repositories that avoid this problem. See DarcsTwo for more details.
An example: Suppose in file foo contains only the line 'abc'
A patch that deletes the first line 'abc' and replaces it with 'def' (created e.g. with diff -u) might contain something like the following
@@ -1 +1 @@
The problem now arises if you have a patch that tries to delete the first line 'ghi' and replace it with 'def'. This will not work, because the first line actually reads 'abc', and not 'ghi'. Such a patch might might look like this:
@@ -1 +1 @@
The original, plain darcs 1 repositories can (with some ingenuity…) be brought into a state where you have such corrupt hunks that fail to apply. This can become obvious when you try to
darcs convert because the new formats try to prevent this kind of corruption.
How can you fix it?
- Create a new repository with
darcs init
- Pull your patches from the dubious repository, one by one, until you identify a patch that fails. Write down the timestamp associated with the patch.
- Figure out why the patch fails: create a patch file manually:
darcs diff -p 'thefailingpatchname' filename > fail.patchwhere 'thefailingpatchname' is a pattern that identifies the patch, filename is the name of the file for which the hunk fails to apply
Try to apply the patch manually:
and see what happens. It also helps to look at the patch, and the file it is trying to patch, you can for instance see if the patch wants to change a line in the file which does not exist.
patch filename fail.patch
- Try to find a way to make the patch apply. Use
darcs revertto revert the file to the original state, and then edit the patch by hand. For example, if the problem is that the patch should be replacing the line 'abc' with 'def' instead of trying to replace 'ghi' with 'def', replace 'ghi' with 'abc'.
Once you have a version of the patch that applies,
- make a temporary copy of the dubious repository (e.g. with
cp -R),
- and change the corresponding patch in the temporary repository: The patches are in
_darcs/patches, and filenames start with a number that indicates the timestamp (see step 2).
20091001104115…. is a patch that was made on the 1st of October 2009, at 10:41 and 15 seconds (GMT). To edit the patches you need to gunzip them, make the changes, and then gzip them.
- make a temporary copy of the dubious repository (e.g. with
Repeat steps 1 and 2, pulling from the temporary copy of the dubious repository, and see whether you can now pull the fixed patch.
Repeat for any remaining failing patches.
- Once you have a repository with no more remaining failing patches, you can run
darcs convert.
Darcs send
Very large patch bundles
Check to see if the remote repository has tagged recently.
If they have not tagged in a while, it might be a good time for them to do so. In general, a good time to tag would be when you make a new release.
If they have tagged in a while, have a look at your inventory file (
_darcs/hashed_inventory). Do you see a long inventory with tag(s) in it? Try
darcs optimize reorder.
What may have happened is that you pulled the tag on top of some local patches. The
optimize reorder command rearranges your repository to give you "clean" tags (tags that only follow patches they depend on), which results in much smaller bundles.
If none of this makes any sense, give us a shout on email@example.com or on the IRC channel.
Problems applying patches from Mail.app
This is due to an incorrect MIME parser (issue26) in Darcs. The current workaround is to either open your mailbox in an alternative client like mutt, or just save the raw message and view it with
mutt -f
Darcs push (ssh stdout problems)
$darcs push user@remote:/path/to/repo
"darcs failed: Not a repository: user@remote:/path/to/repo ((scp)
failed to fetch: user@remote:/path/to/repo/_darcs/inventory."
Customized rc files (.bashrc, .zshrc) on the remote that print to the stdout when sourced interfere with the communication between the remote repository and darcs. If you use darcs push with the verbose flag:
$darcs push -v user@remote:/path/to/repo
you should see the remote computer's stdout interfere with darcs.
Removing informative statements, such as 'echo date', that dump to the stdout on login should fix the issue. You could probably also script around the problem (ignore 'x' statements if connection is ssh).
HTTP problems
The official darcs statically linked binary doesn't honor the
http_proxy environment variable
Trying to use
darcs clone over HTTP proxy results with the following error:
No proxy support for HTTP package yet (try libcurl)!
Please use the dynamically linked binary instead.
If you see something like:
darcs: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
a quick fix like creating a proper symlink in
/usr/lib might help.
The dynamically linked binary can fetch data over HTTP proxies because it makes use of
Fail: : hGetChar: end of file
This can happen with darcs record.
It can be caused by piping data into it when it expects to work interactively. Here's a workaround if you are trying to pipe in a list of files to record like this:
$ find . -name '*.cgi' | grep www | xargs darcs record
Better yet, you can achieve the same thing like this, and still work interactively with
$ darcs record `find . -name '*.cgi' | grep www`
Waiting for lock ..
Followed by "Couldn't get lock", see below.
Couldn't get lock …/lock
This means that darcs tried to access a repository that is locked, i.e. marked as being currently accessed by a different copy of darcs.
If you are confident the repo shouldn't be locked (there's no other copy of darcs running), you can unlock it manually by deleting the lock file
_darcs/lock. Then, run
darcs check.
Heap exhausted; Current maximum heap size is 268435456 bytes (256 Mb)
I got this error on win32 pushing a 394MB local repo with text and large binary files to an empty local repo. The error follows up with
use `+RTS -M<size>' to increase it. This doesn't completely describe the commandline to fix this, since you also need to mark the beginning of the command line args. A complete command would read something like
darcs +RTS -M512M -RTS push <YOUR_REPO>
darcs: getCurrentDirectory: resource exhausted (Too many open files)
This may happen when attempting to pull many patches at once.
By default, Mac OS X only allows each process to have 256 files open. For performance reasons, darcs keeps a lot of files open when pulling patches and may exceed this limit. In most cases, the solution is to increase the limit. This can be done by using the
ulimit bash command:
$ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) 6144 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 256 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 266 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited $ ulimit -n unlimited $ ulimit -n 256
Sometimes, calling
ulimit will result in the following error:
-bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
If this happens, start a new shell and try it in the new shell. (There should be a more convenient way to do it but I don't know of one.)
If this doesn't work for some reason, the issue can usually be worked around by pulling fewer patches.

tiwanaku in bolivia
On my first ever trip to South America, I flew into La Paz, Bolivia. I actually got upgraded on my connecting flight out of Miami, which meant that the drinks were free in first class. So, I literally drank myself into Bolivia!
Actually, I can tell you from first-hand experience that if you're flying into Bolivia, you should not drink anything on the plane except for water. The altitude takes some getting-used-to, and you'll want to be well-hydrated. So drink water. Lots of it. And once you've adjusted to being way up high in the Andes, you should make your way to Tiwanaku (sometimes spelled "Tihuanaco").
When you think of pre-Columbian South American cultures, you're probably thinking of the Incan civilization. But the Tiwanaku people pre-dated the Incans by more than 1000 years! The ruins that were the center of their civilization are at the Tiwanaku site, and you can visit!
If you're looking at this slideshow and wondering what's up with my pants, I don't have an answer for you. I don't wear them any longer, for obvious reasons. I can assure you that I don't have a pootch. Trick photography, there.
Archaeological excavations in Bolivia don't seem to be as well-funded as in neighboring Peru, but the ruins at Tiwanaku are in pretty good shape. Plus, you can see the part of the site where they've not yet tackled the project, which gives you a sense of what a monumental (no pun intended) task it is to identify where the ruins are, let alone how much work it is to do the excavation.
It's really helpful to be at the site with a local guide. No disrespect to those of you who groove on independent travel, but being in a group with a knowledgeable guide will really help you know which is the Gate of the Sun, and which is the Gate of the Moon. You'll get a better understanding of the functions of the courtyard, the large stone terraces and the pyramid.
The pyramid was especially interesting. It has a flat top, but with a sunken area in the center. Our guide explained that the sunken portion of the pyramid was lined in silver and that when water collected there, it formed a type of mirror, which the Tiwanaku people used to make maps of the stars--unfortunately, all of their maps were reversed, because they were drawn from a mirror image in the reflection.
The other crazy thing that happened when I visited Tiwanaku, was that I saw a guinea pig in the wild. Seriously. I didn't even know that guinea pigs existed outside of pet stores and elementary school classrooms. But I suppose it makes sense that they have to come from somewhere. And that somewhere is South America. They look nothing like you'd expect. They aren't cute at all. Our guide told us that in Bolivia and Peru, people ate guinea pig all the time, and that we'd have to try it at some point. Wha? Huh? Who?
More on that in another post.

That Bitter Pushy Prune!
Probably my favorite quote from the entire ABC Jacqueline Kennedy Special last night, how funny! The Special gave a sneak peak into some of Jackie's thoughts, however Diane Sawyer glossed over most of the quotes and stories given by Mrs. Kennedy (I was none too impressed with Sawyer's interview and reporting skills, at least have someone like Barbara Walters to ask those probing questions and receive answers!) Unfortunately, there were more commercials than content (as is always the case) and no real bombshells were revealed.
No fear though, Hubs and I ordered the CD set from amazon.ca last night (found here), it can also be found at amazon.com (found here). I will give a full review once we are done listening to the recordings!

I was reading all of it over breakfast this morning - the Martin Luther KIng stuff was quite shocking, I can't wait to read more.ReplyDelete
It was a wonderful program. I loved every minute of it but there was not enough really.ReplyDelete
it's a shame the interview wasn't done better...Isn't Dian Sawyer the one who did that now infamous Sarah Palin interview where she nailed Palin on seeing Russia as an international relations qualification?ReplyDelete
Tabs - Isn't it? I can't wait to hear the tapes, sounds like she had quite the opinion about certain things! LBJ, King, Mamie Eisenhower, etcReplyDelete
Annie - I did enjoy most of it but I agree, there should have been more excerpts and less commercials.
Laura - I think it was Katie Couric who did the interview with Sarah Palin? hehe I remember that! Diane was more demure but I suspect she was treading lightly with Caroline Kennedy.
I dont know about this but i am intriqued - looking forward to hearing more xReplyDelete

Tissaphernes (tĬs´əfûr´nēz), d. 395 BC, Persian satrap of coastal Asia Minor (c.413–395 BC). He was encouraged by Alcibiades (412) to intervene in the Peloponnesian War in support of Sparta. Out of favor with Cyrus the Younger, he rebuilt his fortunes by siding with Artaxerxes II and helping him to defeat Cyrus in the battle of Cunaxa (401). He pursued the retreating Greek allies (the Ten Thousand) and treacherously murdered Clearchus and four other Greek leaders (Xenophon). Tissaphernes and Pharnabazus were the chief figures in Artaxerxes' reign. After Tissaphernes asserted supremacy over the Ionian cities, he was involved in war with the Spartans, and Agesilaus II defeated him in 395. He was removed from office and assassinated.

We did it! We completed the vegetarian challenge, without breaking a sweat. I am so excited to share with you the meal plan and some recipes. For a printable version of the meal plan click here.
It wasn't as hard as I had anticipated, and I only anticipated it being difficult because we would have to come up with a lot of new recipes for variety. But as soon as it began I welcomed the challenge. I really enjoyed trying new things, like making risotto for the first time. And I can tell you I feel better- not just because I know I was kinder to the environment- but because I feel like I have more energy, because I had fun cooking, and because I enjoyed not having to stress over "what's for dinner." We will probably keep this up for quite a bit. I plan to make a 5 week meal plan for each of the four seasons, so I always have recipes with seasonal fruits and veggies handy. For now we are happy flexitarians.
To make it easier for readers I tagged all of the recipe posts with the label "5 week vegetarian challenge" and you can find most of these recipes by clicking here. You can see the term "leftovers" in the meal plan, I set it up this way for 2 reasons. The first being, if we had leftovers they got eaten, and the second reason was to offer a "free space" each week. For example, if a social engagement came up on a Monday we would just swap that day with the leftover day from that week. The same goes for "salad," I stuck that in to help us eat the rest of the raw veggies we usually have lying around. We eat a large veggie salad at least once a week anyway, so that really worked for us.

Once a man saw in his dream, that a lion was chasing him. The man ran to a tree, climbed onto it and sat on a branch. He looked down and saw that the lion was still there waiting for him.
The man then looked to his side where the branch he was sitting on was attached to the tree and saw that two rats were circling around and eating the branch. One rat was black and the other one was white. The branch would fall on the ground very soon.
The man then looked below again with fear and discovered that a big black snake had come and settled directly under him. Snake opened its mouth right under the man so that he will fall into it. The man then looked up to see if there was anything that he could hold on to. He saw another branch with a honeycomb. Drops of honey falling from it.
The man wanted to taste one of the drops. So, he put his tongue out and tasted one of the fallen drops of honey. The honey was amazing in taste. So, he wanted to taste another drop. As he did, he got lost into the sweetness of the honey.
Meanwhile, he forgot about the two rats eating his branch away, the lion on the ground and the snake that is sitting right under him. After a while, he woke up from his sleep.
To get the meaning behind this dream, the man went to a wise old man. The man then explained to him, "The lion you saw is your death. It always chases you and goes wherever you go.
The two rats, one black and one white, are the night and day. Black one is the night and the white one is the day. They circle around, coming one after another, to eat your time as they take you closer to death.
The big black snake with a dark mouth is your grave. It's there, just waiting for you to fall into it.
The honeycomb is this world and the sweet honey is the luxuries of this world. We like to taste a drop of the luxuries of this world but it's very sweet. Then we taste another drop and yet another."
Meanwhile......We get lost into it and we forget about our time, our death and our grave......it takes us a long time to understand that life is too short....who knows whether we're going to be alive the next second let alone tomorrow......and yet even then, we compromise with the name of Waheguru for the luxuries of the world....saving Simran for later.
The truth is, everything we see around us is unstable. Don't fall into the trap of worldly pleasures. Attach yourself to the name of Waheguru
Death, There's No Getting Away From It...
Once a man saw in his dream, that a lion was chasing him. The man ran to a tree, climbed onto it and sat on a branch. He looked down and saw that the lion was still there waiting for him.

I think it's wonderful that mental health is so much in the public domain these days. People are being made aware of the issues affecting so many, young and old, and how lives are being destroyed as a result.
Not just the victims; but family and friends also. No one escapes the fall out of a valued person being persecuted by their mind; the tragedy is that along with each individual's suffering, they also have to contend with the knowledge of what their condition is doing to their loved ones and the ensuing guilt.
Back in the day, the English had a reputation of having a stiff upper lip. Never show fear or emotion. Keep yourself to yourself…buttoned up!
We blame public schools for this ethos – but actually, it was carried across all classes. Some of those most affected by insecurity, fear, anger, and as a result depression, are from humble backgrounds where a stick was the best way to get a child's attention.
Surely the days of hearing such helpful gems of wisdom as 'pull yourself together' are over?
Never encouraged to think for themselves, but only to do as they were told. No life choices and trapped in the daily grind of poverty.
I was pleased therefore to hear that the study of antidepressants showed that they do have a positive effect on mental health. All the nay sayers and sceptics are proven wrong thank goodness – and I really hope they sit up and listen!
I know of several people who wish the findings had been different, after spending years spouting rubbish about them and those who suffer, telling them how 'silly' they're being and to get a grip!
Surely the days of hearing such helpful gems of wisdom as 'pull yourself together', 'these are women's problems', 'too much time on your hands', 'you need something real to worry about', or 'you clearly have it too easy', are over – or I really hoped they were.
Listening to a middle-aged man on the news tonight talking about how he suffered as a result of coming clean about his mental concerns to his friends showed that there's still a very long way to go to beat the stigma of mental health issues. He was called a 'nut nut' and made to feel ashamed – and certainly regret mentioning his issues to his so-called friends.
THIS is madness. THIS is insane. Peoples ignorance of what's going on around them is one thing but their lack of acceptance that it exists is unforgivable.
So well done the BBC for the superb programme 'Girls on the Edge' on BBC 2.
It was a sensitive insight into the lives of three girls under eighteen and how they had been affected by their mental health.
Much of this will, and maybe should be blamed on social media and the pressure from bullying and feeling victimised as a result. This, however, cannot be the reason for the aforementioned middle-aged man – that was pure ignorance.
I really pray I see the day when all forms of mental illness are accepted and catered for and those of us lucky to be well stand up for those in need rather than making them feel outsiders.
When we can all feel empowered to stand up to the rather yobbish culture of ridicule will those sad souls get the help and eventual peace and happiness that is our right?
After all, let's remember the statistics:
1 in 3 of us suffers from a mental illness in our lifetime (and the rest live with those who do so it touches all of us)
The highest rate of suicide in the UK is from men in their 40s – up to five times higher than that of women.
The rate of teens with depression has risen to nearly 13%. The far greater percentage of this is reported as females, because young men don't speak out as easily – not because they're not also experiencing it.
Stress and Depression account for up to 40% of all UK sick days, that's 12.5 millions workdays lost to mental health issues.
So before you put someone down for their health concerns, remember this. If it's not you going through it now, there's no guarantee it won't be in the future. And if not you, your child, parent or loved one. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, old or young. It doesn't discriminate. How would YOU want to be treated?
If you are affected by depression there are people who can help. Numbers are available here.
It was last year when the idea of a site for other women like me dawned – active, busy and ambitious women who just happen to be older.
Firstly it was going to be just fashion, but very quickly I realised that if I were going to write anything – then it would have to have more meaning than just that.
I decided to incorporate lifestyle and wellbeing and make the whole thing truly interactive and inclusive. I felt that with these issues covered, then there really was no end to what could be discussed and discovered – and who may benefit as a result.

Club + Bars
Go Drink This: Clicquot Rich and Peppers
The drink: Clicquot Rich and Peppers
The price: $24
The story: The weekend after Thanksgiving is a special time in Miami life as the city's tastemakers prepare for an increasingly frenzied Art Basel marathon. To watch them brace for what's to come, head to lunch at La Piaggia and ask for a goblet of champagne on ice. You'll experience Veuve Clicquot Rich, a relatively new cuvée from the trendy House in which the sugar content is much higher and the percentage of Pinot Meunier leads the blend of grapes (more Pinot Meunier than Pinot Noir and Chardonnay). The resulting "rich" and fruity notes are easily enhanced by unexpected ingredients like bell peppers. Cucumbers, celery, pineapple, grapefruit, and black tea also make great accoutrements. We highly recommend spiking yours with tea (read: caffeine).
Where to find it: La Piaggia, 1000 South Pointe Dr., Miami Beach.

The business model of Netflix Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
The business model for Blockbuster and the one for Netflix have many variations. Blockbuster was solely a "brick-and-mortar" company having no online affiliations. It made its money mostly from continuously providing customers with new movie releases to rent. Building thousands of Blockbusters countrywide also helped lead to the company's success, for by doing so, customers were provided with the convenience of location. Both Blockbusters late fee system, which guaranteed the timely return of rented movies, and its policy of selling the already viewed films, contributed to the company's value.
Netflix, although also based solely on renting movies, was purely online unlike Blockbuster. Its business model revolved around three main criteria to attract a variety of customers, value, convenience, and selection. The company's hope was to appeal to the customers who shop online for these three very same reasons.
The company focused primarily on DVDs as it was a new technology at the time. Its business model also evolved from a fixed number of rentals per month to an unlimited number of rentals for a fixed prepaid price.
They also had a recommendation service that attracted attention from many potential customers since it was not exclusive to Netflix customers. This system allowed Netflix to give customers a more personalized experience. Since it recommended mostly older films it allowed Netflix to utilize the movies that otherwise would never have been rented (Shih, Willy, et al). Both business models focused greatly on convenience. Netflix, however, provides a service that allows a renter to borrow a movie without ever having to leave his or her driveway. Also, its improvement in its business model that allows customers to rent an unlimited amount of DVDs per month is a worthwhile business strategy.
Instead of being stubborn like Blockbuster, Netflix has evolved its business model to better fit the customer. Its ability to make the renting experience more personal has also played a role in its success. For this allowed for personal recommendations, which resulted in older movies being rented out that one would otherwise not know about. Netflix's investment in IT, its focus on providing the customer with a satisfactory experience, resulting in repeat customers, the money saved from not having to pay many of the costs that most "brick-and-mortar" companies do, and their fast delivery time, are all excellent strategies which have contributed to its success. Although much of Netflix's success was a result of the aforementioned strategies, without IT or information technology it could not have competed with other rental businesses like Blockbuster. Its initial use to provide customers with a convenient and personalized means of renting movies largely led to its accomplishments as a business. Their use of a search engine makes finding movies much easier than going to a Blockbuster and having to go through hundreds of titles before finding the right one, especially if it's an older movie.
Its use of user feedback for movie recommendations, enables the company to promote and rent out older titles that otherwise would have just been collecting dust. This recommendation service also encourages repeat customers since it offers other movies that he or she will be very likely to want to watch. Another contribution of the Netflix's movie recommendation service to the profitability of the company is its ability to be used by anyone, which attracts many potential customers. Other, competing, movie rental businesses that lack Netflix's IT capabilities, like Blockbuster and the multitudes of smaller "brick-and mortar" retail stores have a very limited customer base. This is true especially as more and more people gain access to the internet. The added convenience, efficiency, accessibility, broad reach, personalization, user-friendly interface, reasonable pricing, vast selection of movies, and recommendation system are all made possible due to Netflix's investment in IT. Most of these advantages provided by Netflix's IT are sustainable.
Its lower operation costs, as compared to a "brick-and-mortar" retailer, such as Blockbuster, contribute to its ability to provide service at a lower price. Customers will typically bend over backwards for a lower price. Its infrastructure and methods of engaging customers are tough for other companies to compete with. This is especially true for its recommendation service. This provides every customer with their own unique set of movies based on previous user feedback and selection of movies. Stores like Blockbuster do not have this service and so the only thing customers can go by when looking for similar movies is genre, a very inconvenient method. However, its previous business model of focusing primarily on renting out DVDs is not sustainable. This is especially true as streaming movies is becoming more and more popular. Netflix was able to solve this problem by converting to a streaming service.
They did so at a point in time when streaming was not nearly as popular as today, enabling them to get a head start on the market and acquire reasonable pricing from companies that provided the movies. This transition was relatively painless since they were already located online, had the IT capabilities of streaming, and had a strong customer base. More recently Netflix has faced the problem of streaming prices increasing. This is a result of content providers increasing their rates since streaming is becoming more mainstream, or popular. Netflix increased their rates to make up for the expense of the content, however, this led to an almost instantaneous increase in unsatisfied customers. The first step in solving this problem is to regain the loyalty of the customers who left and to maintain the loyalty of the customers still partaking in streaming movies. They did this by offering a rate of $7.99 per month for unlimited streaming.
This is even lower than a movie ticket. However, if they seek to gain more customers at a rate similar to the early 2000s then they will need to alter their business plan. Perhaps offering customers a 2 month free trial as opposed to only one month will improve the chances of customers signing up with Netflix so as to continue the service. Also improving the personalization of Netflix could help improve customer loyalty. If when adding movies to the queue one could rank the movies by which they would most like to see it would prevent one from being overwhelmed by hundreds of titles, most of which they only had a vague desire to watch. Also if they built a stronger search engine that allowed customers to do a more specific search than just genre or rating, it would improve the user experience.
For example a user should be able to look for a particular genre or genres, with a particular actor, release date, and user rating, to find the movie that the particular user is currently in the mood for. If they expand to other countries or go international they could also possibly solve their decrease in customer problem. There is not nearly as much competition in international countries as in the US so this option could potentially increase the subscriber amount and thus increase Netflix's revenue.
Also expanding their movie catalog could attract more customers. They could also improve their recommendation system; this will increase the amount of traffic to their site, which in turn could lead to other companies desiring to pay for advertising on their site. The key to Netflix's sustainability is the continuous improvement and upkeep of its IT as well as maintaining reasonable rates. This will encourage returning customers while at the same time attract new ones.

I've been thinking a lot about home lately. In the past six months, I've lost two places that felt as close to me as flesh and blood...places where I laughed and cried, baked and shared meals, grew and dreamed. More importantly, these were places I've experienced so many important moments with family and close friends that, without those loved ones attached, are now like hollowed out shells of the soulful, vibrant, storied homes they once were.
With time, I've come to realize I still have all kinds of homes that feel stronger, more comforting and more closely-knit than any physical place. Despite some very great distances, my homes have deep roots, walls as supportive as steel, endless laughter, and you better believe they're filled with delicious food. But they're less of a physical place and more of a feeling that I can tap into anywhere in the world that has wi-fi or a decent oven. And yes, my homes are pretty much wherever my heart is.
So with the holidays approaching and my sisters too far away, I thought I'd share an easy recipe that always brings me home.
My sister Sarah lives in Australia, and she first introduced me to Bill Granger's food on a trip to his destination breakfast spot in Sydney. Famous for the fluffiest scrambled eggs you've ever tasted, we became instantly hooked on Bill's food, bought all of his cookbooks and now his Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is regular at our holiday gatherings for breakfast and anytime grazing as we like to do.
Simple, dense, flavorful and not-too-sweet, this breakfast cake is my ideal partner to a morning cuppa and makes an easy DIY holiday gift if you're so inclined. Here is his recipe with a few tweaks, from my home to yours.
adapted from Chef Bill Granger
Serves: 8
1 cup AP flour
2 tsps. baking powder
8 tsp unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
4 bananas (ripe and mashed)
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
175 grams dark chocolate, chopped or chips (I used Guittard)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit.
Prep a loaf pan (4 1/2" x 7 1/2") with butter and flour.
In a standing mixer, cream butter and sugars with a paddle attachment until thoroughly combined.
Next, add eggs, bananas and vanilla and mix, scraping down sides until mixture is well blended.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
Add flour mixture to wet mixture, mixing just until combined then remove from standing mixer, being careful not to overmix.
Stir in chocolate chips by hand and pour into prepared pan.
Bake about one hour or until bread is set when tested with a skewer.
Let cool 5-10 minutes before turning out of pan and serve in thick slices, preferably with coffee.

I have to admit that I have not had that much experience with real estate. That's why having Steve Schaefer on my side has been so great. He made up for my lack of experience. I like to keep organized and always know the next steps in the process and Steve always knew. On my cell phone, he quickly became the person to whom I sent the most messages while working through a real estate transaction. His advice was invaluable and his insights into the process prevented this transaction from turning into a stressful mess.

Continuing on where Continuo left off, we have this offering from Jacques Lasry. Though credited mainly to Lasry, as with much of his work, Teddy Lasry alongside Bernard and François Baschet all feature prominently – the former performing several of the pieces, the latter duo engineering the works.
Ignore the horrendously tacky cover (see below) and instead appreciate a diverse range of music featuring sound sculptures designed and built by Lasry and the Baschet brothers. There are takes on an array of musical idioms: poly-rhythmic percussion on 'Enclumes'; a simulacrum of Christian plainsong via warbling harmonies of vibrating metal on 'Plein Chant'; a loose interpretation of Japanese Noh, possibly featuring only two performers instead of four, but otherwise accurately reproducing it's slow and spacious structure; and even hard bop complete with bass clarinet (?) solo.
Certainly not a Lasry-Baschet aficoanado's first choice for musical accomplishment, but for the uninitiated, consider it a primer on the varied sounds, timbres and textures produced by some of the seminal figures in sound sculpture in the mid 20th century.
On an aside, do note that in addition to another Lasry-Baschet project we've posted here, Continuo has occasionally been re-upping their posts as of late – worth checking out. If you find anything of interest missing from our Lost And Found bin, feel free to request the same of us.

This past winter I was asked to take part in the Fuse Protection Heads Up Helmet Show and obviously jumped at the opportunity. There was really no theme or rules so I took this chance to really dive in head on and just start masking and painting without any real plan. For me, this really was just about experimenting and the process that goes into painting. The end result was Jungle Boy - A helmet scheme inspired by the lettering and numerals of classic moto buckets combined with the fresh look of contemporary patterning and layering.
* Jeep Patriot - Camper Style
Since acquiring my jeep in the spring of 2014, I've spent my fair share of nights in the back. While I've survived just fine, it was time to make some adjustments to the rig and get things a little more comfy back there. Some of my goals were to make sure that there were pass-throughs underneath for long items like fishing poles, hockey sticks etc and I didn't want to use the space on the floor behind the front seats. I've seen a lot of platform set-ups that support there but I like that real estate for stashing extra gear. I have a roof basket and a hitch mounted bike rack so it was okay if I ate up a little room inside if it meant catching a few extra z's. Lastly, it needed to at least fit a standard twin size mattress. I have to say, I'm quite pleased with how everything worked out.
* Antler Mount
I've had this set of antlers around for a couple years now and it was about time to get it up on the wall. I've done a handful of mounts before, but always with a store bought kit and I've never really loved the results. After doing a little bit of online research I dove straight in. Not going to lie, it was a bit tougher than I anticipated, but in the end, it was worth it.
* 1977 Kawasaki KZ400
This past spring I decided it was time for me to start a new project bike and ran across a KZ400 that I snagged for pretty cheap. It wasn't a ground up build but it was good for a quick project. It had "good bones" we'll say. I unfortunately didn't take any "before" photos but here's a look at the finished product.
* Stump Tables
If you're interested in owning the heaviest furniture feasible, this may be the ticket. All you need to do is cut, peel, and dry and you're all set. In all honesty, this was a really fun project and I'm super happy with how it turned out.

The Renter No Longer

Regina Durr
Buyer: Regina Durr
Bought: 1-bed, 1-bath condo in Lower Pacific Heights
Asking: $775K
Final: $800K
Realtors: Kenny Gong and Connie Chung, Vanguard
Every home that is put on the market goes on an MLS, or multiple listing service—a massive online database of current, pending, and past home sales that realtors pay a monthly fee to access. Every home on the market is for sale, but is every home that's for sale on the MLS? Nope. This isn't an SAT question; it's a practice known as off-market listing, and it happens in the Bay Area all the time. That's how Regina Durr scored her condo in Lower Pacific Heights. "I never thought I would be able to buy in this neighborhood," she says. "Never ever."
But Durr, 31, comes from a real estate family—her parents were landlords—so she knew about off-market listings. And about the importance of finding a good realtor. She interviewed 12 different people before deciding to work with Kenny Gong and Connie Chung. Chung was part of an exclusive group known as the Top Agent Network (open only to realtors in the top 10 percent of their markets), which circulates offmarket properties via an email chain. Durr's future home never even made it to an MLS.
The condo went out in an email on a Wednesday, and Durr went to see it that weekend. But just because the property never officially went on the market didn't mean she didn't have any competition. "I knew offers were coming in the following Friday around 1 p.m. at the earliest," she says, "so I made my offer on Thursday morning with an expiration of Thursday evening." Meaning the seller wouldn't have the chance to consider any of the others if she went with Durr, who offered the asking price of $775,000. The seller countered with $800,000 and an equally tight deadline of 8 a.m. Friday. Durr, who had just finished law school and is currently awaiting her bar results, didn't need that much time. "We had it all wrapped up by midnight on Thursday."
Thanks to the down payment from her parents, her mortgage payment is less than the rent she was previously paying at her Pacific Heights apartment half a block away. In addition to her parents, she's grateful to her realtors and herself: "It was the accumulation of a lot of attention to detail and understanding the industry and the market and what I was getting myself into."

My F1 drive
Circuit de Barcelona (Catalunya)
Circuit de Barcelona (Catalunya)
July 5th, 2017
Videos from my F1 drive
As a present to me for my 60th birthday, I gave myself the stonking gift of driving a Formula 1 car round a full Formula 1 circuit. Below are some of the videos taken on the day, others from the onboard camera in the Formula 3 car will be on the next page. Sadly, the onboard camera on the Benetton B198 wasn't working correctly so I didn't get any on board action, but hell, I still had a blast 😃.
In addition to my drive, my daughter was driven around the circuit by a professional racer in a 3-seater modified car.

Modernity brings convenience to our lives. Various long-distance means of transportation are easily found anywhere. Inter-state bus, continental train, ship, aircraft, or taxi. In addition, these vehicles also offer comfortability in form of food, internet, movies, or magazines. So we can enjoy our long journey without boring. We should be grateful to God for giving us these conveniences.
Alhamdulillah, these conveniences also help any women on travel. Nowadays it is not strange for a woman to travel alone, but i think it is nice for you to consider what Islam said about traveling woman. The basis of this idea can be found in the hadith narrated by Abu Said al-Khudri:
لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَعَةٍ تُوْمِنُ بِا اللهِ وَلْيَوْمِ الَاَخِرِ اَنْ تُسَافِرُ سَفَرًا يَكُوْنُ شَلَاشَةَ اَيَّامٍ فَصَاعِدًا اِلَّا وَمَعَهَا اَبُوهَا اَوِبْنُهَا اَوْ زَوْجُهَا اَوْاَخُوْهَا اَوْ ذُوْ مَحْرَمٍ مِنِهَا
"It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the judgement day to travel for three more days, but she must be accompanied by her father, or her child, or her husband, or her brother, or her mahram (men who not lawful to marry.)"[1]
In the other hadith (narrated by Abdullah bin Umar) the law are repeated:
لا تسافر المراة شلاشةا ايام الا مع ذي محرم
"No woman should travel for three days, except with a mahram."[2]
The importance of mahram to a woman also can be found from a hadith which reported by Abdullah ibn Abbas. The Prophet said:
ل يخلون رجل بامراة الا ومعها ذو محرم و لا تسافر المرعة الا مع ذي محرم فقام رجل فقال: ان امراتي خرجت حاجة و اني اكتتبت في غزوة كذا و كذا قل: انطلق فحج مع امراتك
"Never let a man be alone with a woman unless she is accompanied by his mahram. Nor should a woman travel except with a mahram. (Hearing that) arose a man and said: "Verily, my wife has come out to perform the pilgrimage, while I have been required to follow a war." He said: "Go and perform the Hajj with your wife."[3]
The hadith narated by Abu Said Al-Khudri explained what mahrom are? They are a woman's biological father, her adult son, her male sibling (same mother, father of one mother, or different mother of a father), and the most important is Her husband when she is married. In addition, her uncle (either brother or sister of the father or mother), adult nephew, grandfather, and people from outside family who once breastfed by our mother (minimum Three times) to satiety as are counted as mahram. It is described in the hadith
يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب
"Forbidden marriage due to breastfed as due to kinship."
The men who are not counted as mahram:
1. Adult cousin. Cousins can be a husband or wife except he or she once breastfed by our mother at least three times.
2. Brother or sister in law.
3. Male best friend.
4. Fiancé.
