On Friday, October 11th, our team visited Urbano for the second time. While Urbano classes are held Monday through Thursday, every Friday is reserved for Urbano fellows, or students who have worked with Urbano in the past and want to continue their involvement through leadership roles. This was our opportunity to ask Urbano's most important constituents–their student leaders– what they would like to see result from our partnership. After engaging in initial brainstorm and dialogue with the group, Susannah from Urbano's staff led the youth in a more structured brainstorming workshop, where students were asked to focus in on three final proposals.
While the workshop was happening, our team met with the rest of Urbano's staff to build on the comments we'd heard from the youth. At the end of their workshop, Urbano fellows were asked to share reflections about the brainstorming workshop and this partnership with MIT. Combining their ideas with ours we came up with three ideal projects that we choose to work on. You can find the Urbano Project Proposal with three different project ideas here. Note that this is the first draft and it will be edited.
Urbano fellows' perceptions are deeply insightful and a great resource for us as we continue to learn about and experience Urbano's culture and work ethic. One takeaway is that in the future, we should work on building a more intentional relationship with the youth to break down assumptions and anxieties about working with people from "the 'famous' college named MIT," as one fellow put it. Urbano staff were kind enough to share these reflections with us, and we have posted them here:
"Today we talked with students from MIT about ideas of ways that we can get people to know about Urbano. We started by having four main categories: Mobile Exhibition, Interactive/performative, Web/social media, and outreach. We then got into groups of about four people including one of the people from MIT. In our groups we brainstormed different ways that we could get people aware of Urbano. We wrote our ideas on sticky notes and placed them under one of the categories. Next we talked as a group about the ideas that each group came up with. Then our group (the Fellows) voted on the ideas we liked the best. We did this by putting a check on the post-its that we liked, up to as many as three. We then put the post-its with checks on them in smaller categories, and voted for our 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices. Lastly we picked our top 3 choices based on the amount of votes for each category got."
"I found it very rewarding to have this day of ideas flowing among us. It felt like an empowering strengthening of the brain. (I feel like my time at Urbano is usually like that in general.) I am very excited to work with the MIT students. I feel like our collaboration will be a benefit to both the Fellows and the MIT class. Today we brainstormed ideas about how to inform the public about Urbano and what we do, but also get people thinking about this idea of the Emancipated City. We want to get the public's feedback and opinions on what THEY desire Boston to be. Our ideas range from performance pieces to video installations to flyers posted all over the city. In collaboration with MIT, we can hopefully have the resources (i.e. materials, technology, etc.) to create these thought-provoking pieces. Somehow, we have to let people in power know what the public wants (perhaps by having installations set up in from of government offices or getting in touch with a government official, like the Secretary of State or such). I'm excited :)"
"Today we met with a group of students from MIT and discussed possible ideas for our collaboration project. After everyone introduced themselves and we discussed our goal, we broke into three groups to brainstorm ideas on post-it notes. We hang up our ideas on a wall under four catergories: mobile exhibition, interactive/performative, web/social media and outreach. Each group discussed their ideas and received feedback. Afterwards, we the fellows of the Urbano Project narrowed down our ideas to three choices with various processes. The topics we chose were performance, street media, and flyers. And we ended with reflections. The End."
"Yo yo yo, so I had a lot of energy today coming into Urbano so when I found out that people form M.I.T. were coming i got kind of nervous. Never sure what we have to act like super professional or maybe even just our awkward selves. Once Susannah pulled out the hoodies I instantly felt calmer. Putting one on and finding many different fashions to wear it in. I relaxed joking around until the M.I.T. people came in. Once we started our brain storming I will admit that I had no idea what we were supposed to do. I didn't one hundred percent realize what we were supposed to be brain storming so I was just randomly shouting things out until some one made sense of my ramblings. WE present the few ideas we came up with and we slowly put together new ideas. Finally when we had our top six I was really exited cause everything I wanted was there. That all go better when my top 3 were picked and we morphed everything together in one magically moment."
"Partyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy whoot whoot We had the opportunity to work with the students of the "famous" college named MIT. This time spent in discussions gave really good results; this result includes: Today's class was a huge brainstorm on how Urbano will collaborate with M.I.T. To do that, we put out seed ideas and voted on which of the said seed ideas were our favorites/were the most interesting. Eventually, the 30+ ideas were eventually ruled down to about 10, but divided into 3 categories: Performance, Flyers, Street Message in that order. Along side these ideas were 3 "sub-ideas" that we attempted and found a way to integrate into the primary three: Virtual, Video and Info. Each of the sub-ideas can be applied into the main ideas, however work is still being done to understand how to fully integrate those ideas. Overall, work was done in order to get the name "Urbano" in to the public, as well as the message that we want to convey."
"I think this collaboration will work. I wish I could've heard THEIR idea's though. We were the ones generating most of the ideas and they were mostly just taking notes and stuff. I like collaborating and making connections."
"The MIT people came today and we spoke about their project as well as our project that relates to our theme "the emancipated city reimagining Boston". We got into separate groups and brainstormed ideas that fit under four different categories: Mobile Exhibition, Interactive/performative, Web/social media, and out reach. We put sticky notes, went over every groups ideas then we checked our top three, put ones that weren't checked to the side, and numbered our 1,2,3 choices. Grouped some together and tallied them up. Finally we picked our top three: Performance, Flyer, and Virtual App."

Minty Pea and Butter Bean HummusJune 29, 2010
Every year a girlfriend orders the Christmas with Southern Living book and we thumb through it at work looking for crafty ideas to work on for the holidays. In the past we have made adorable metal buckets filled with dog biscuits, toys and other treats for our dog lover friends. We made an advent calendar using small gift bags, fabric and scrap-booking supplies for her sister – a sea shell Christmas tree for another friend that loves the beach and we've even tried some of the recipes for parties.
The craft projects in the 2010 book were not all that interesting, but a few of the recipes caught my eye. I decided to try one from the appetizer section – Minty Pea and Butter Bean Hummus.
The Ingredients:
2 Cups Frozen Petite Peas – Thawed
2 Cups Frozen Baby Lima Beans – Thawed
3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
2 Large Garlic Cloves
1/2 Cup Fresh Mint Leaves (I would use about 1/2 the amount next time)
1/2 Cup Crumbled Feta Cheese (I would use less next time)
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Pepper (I used a lot more than that)
Whole Wheat Pita Bread
I added everything except the pita bread to the blender. I didn't feel like digging out the big food processor and that thought process turned out to be a horrible idea. My blender is not an awesome Vita-Mix blender and it just didn't have enough oomph to blend the ingredients. After getting a rubber spatula stuck to one of the blades, I fumbled through the cabinet to find all of the parts to my big Cuisinart and wished at that very moment that I hadn't given my smaller one to Dan's friend.
A few weeks back I had found the top to what I thought was the smaller one… couldn't figure out if it was an extra one that I didn't give away, it confused me. I grabbed the box of Cuisinart blades and there was a mini blade inside that fit the smaller unit I had found last week. Huh? I grabbed for the smaller top piece and saw Osterizer etched into the plastic. No way! My craptastic blender came with an attachment that I never knew it had. Sweet! I was like a kid at Christmas. (Yes that is two Christmas references in the same post and it's not even July). I gave my new-found treasure a good rinse and loaded my hummus mixture into it and let it whirl!
I got everything mixed up into a creamy texture. There will be some lumps due to the feta.
I then cut the whole wheat pita bread into triangles and used an olive oil and garlic spray on them. I also added sea salt before putting them under the broiler to crisp up.
They only took a few minutes. I like making my pita chips instead of buying them – Not that I won't eat an entire bowl of Stacy's Pita Chips at a party – I just prefer eating hummus with homemade chips or pretzels.
The feta and mint combo was a little overpowering at first – that is why I would dial those two ingredients back a bit for next time. If you don't like feta, you won't like this hummus – I bet it would even taste good without it. I happen to like feta, so it didn't bother me – now if I LOVED feta, I would keep the measurement at 1/2 cup – I just wanted to taste the peas and beans more.
It was a nice change from my normal Trader Joe's Kalamata Olive Hummus and a perfect afternoon snack. BTW – According to the Internet, we are only 179 days away from Christmas, hah! hah!

Implementation science collaboration on urban health in East Africa: A three-country assessment of nutrition among the urban poor [PCW-3]
Leader: Marie Donaldson, University Research Co. LLC
26 November 2018 | 1:30pm to 5:30pm
This workshop is free of charge and open to all registered delegates.
To register for this workshop email: Richard Hart.
The USAID funded Health Evaluation and Applied Research Development (HEARD) Project supports an Implementation Science Collaboration on Urban Health in East Africa, which was launched by the East, Central, Southern Africa Health Community (ECSA-HC) as an output of a regional consultation to consider how to better address the nutrition and water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) needs of the poorest children and adolescents living in urban slums and informal settlements. The Collaboration's first implementation science activity is to conduct a three-country assessment focused on child health and nutrition in poor urban areas in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Kampala, Uganda and Nairobi, Kenya. The assessment is co-led by University of California, Berkley and UNICEF East Southern Africa Region (ESAR) and implemented by Ifakara Health Institute and TAMASHA (Tanzania), Infectious Diseases Institute and ACTogether & Kibo Foundation (Uganda) and the African Population and Health Research Centre (Kenya). The assessment includes a review of published and grey literature, identification of available existing datasets and analysis of relevant polices and mapping of the informal and formal actors, organizations and promising interventions that impact nutrition and health outcomes in select urban slums and informal settlements in each of the three countries.
We invite those with experience and interest in nutrition and WASH in East Africa to join this interactive workshop, which aims to: share and take stock of the assessment findings, consider differences and similarities across the three countries; seek input from participants on the packaging and communication of findings to facilitate use by various stakeholder groups (local, national, regional); identify regional policy and program implications that can be further refined and shared at regional forum in East Africa; and expand the Implementation Science Collaboration on Urban Health in East Africa through dialogue of next set of implementation science questions to improve the health and development of vulnerable populations in urban settings.

As reported by Deadline, a familiar face from Twilight will be popping up to play a familiar face from the world of DC Comics on CBS' upcoming Supergirl show. Peter Facinelli—who was also on Nurse Jackie and appeared on American Odyssey earlier this summer—will be playing Maxwell Lord, an especially complicated character who is sometimes good, sometimes bad, and sometimes a cyborg. Deadline says this version of the character will be "a green tech billionaire" who "is fascinated by Supergirl," though we have a sneaking suspicion that what Deadline says isn't the whole story.
In the comics, Lord was originally presented as a powerful businessman who helped put together the Justice League International—an off-shoot of the vanilla Justice League. Depending on the story, he also sometimes has mind control powers. In the Countdown To Infinite Crisis comic, though, it was revealed that Lord is actually a bad guy who has been keeping tabs on the superhero community because he doesn't trust them. Arrow and The Flash—which both also come from Supergirl's Greg Berlanti—have already shown a tendency to subvert comic book fans' expectations by having characters do things a little differently than they're known for, but it seems like a pretty safe bet that Peter Facinelli is going to turn out to be a villain.
Supergirl will premiere on CBS on October 26.

The onslaught has been relentless. E-mail appeals from retailers are still filling shoppers' inboxes as Christmas Eve arrives.
"Last chance ... for 6 cent prints today" from Ritz Camera.
"Limited time! Save on holiday treats tonight 'til 10 p.m." from Cost Plus World Market.
"Sprint to save up to 70 percent on new sale items" from home decor store West Elm.
Retailers are leaving no stone unturned -- and no technology unused -- as they try to prod consumers into one last purchase. Or two or three, for that matter.
Dan Springer, CEO of San Bruno, Calif.-based Responsys, an e-mail marketing firm, said e-mail and social media marketing among his clients who advertised the last two years is up 35 to 40 percent this year. Responsys will send 25 billion e-mails for clients this year, he said, translating to about $70 million in revenue.
The flurry of retailer e-mails, Tweets and Facebook fan pages reflect the heightened stakes of this year's season. Many retailers have suffered through tough years and count on the holiday push for profits, if not survival.
The National Retail Federation predicts holiday spending nationwide will decline 1 percent to $437.6 billion. The last year holiday sales increased was 2007, when they rang in at $457.8 billion.
For many years, the Saturday before Christmas, or Super Saturday, was the busiest shopping day of the year, said Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman for the National Retail Federation, a trade group made of the nation's largest retailers.
But Grannis believes Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, will turn out to be the busiest shopping day of 2009, as it was in 2008. Store and Web site visits on this year's Black Friday rose to 195 million from 172 million a year earlier, she said. But average spending dropped to $343.31 from $372.57.
Last weekend on Super Saturday, national sales fell to $6.9 billion, compared to $7.9 billion last year and $8.7 billion in 2007, estimated Chicago firm ShopperTrak. The decrease was largely attributed to the snowstorms in the midwest and east, and the firm said Friday and Sunday were expected to post gains.
Retailers and malls are increasing their use of e-mail appeals and social media like Facebook and Twitter.
On Dec. 16, for example, Cost Plus World Market sent an e-mail at 6:42 p.m. about a Christmas candy sale that ended at 10 p.m. that night. The deals weren't breathtaking -- about $2 off $9.99 tins of peppermint bark and foil-wrapped German chocolates. But the intent was to spur shoppers to take action.
Retailers in some cases buy lists of consumer e-mails, but they also have customers opt-in to receive special offers, either at registers, or through loyalty programs and store credit card programs.
Atlantan Lynne Meadows, a self-described shopaholic, said she loves getting e-mails from her favorite retailers, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, and her son's, Old Navy, Gap and Target.
"I use it as to compare prices, especially on name brands like Gucci. And typically if they're going to send you an e-mail, they advertise sale items or send coupons. To me it's not overwhelming. If I don't need it, it's just a simple delete."
But Lisa Swanson, also of Atlanta, said enough to all the Tweets. "The way Twitter is set up on the Blackberry, you have to click on a post to read the whole message and it winds up being totally useless," she said. "I feel like they've just gone crazy with it."
Springer, the CEO of Responsys, said retailers run the risk of annoying consumers.
"You cannot annoy people into liking you and marketers should not try to do that," he said.
He said the message must be relevant to a consumer -- offering a discount on a product the retailer knows the recipient likes.
General Growth Properties, owner of Perimeter Mall, launched Facebook and Twitter fan pages for its malls about six weeks ago.
Other metro Atlanta malls have pages as well, including Town Center at Cobb.
These pages link to discounts and special offers from retailers as well as promote mall or store events. Perimeter's Facebook page has 78 fans while Town Center's Twitter page has 478 followers.
John Heavener, president of the Georgia Retail Association, said he hears mixed messages from the state's larger retailers.
"Children and teen stores are probably doing double digit increases over last year," he said. Electronics are also trending up, he said, but department stores are a mixed bag. Based on estimates from retailers and his own analysis, he predicts holiday sales in Georgia will be flat to up about a half-percent over last year. Georgia represents about 3 percent of total national retail sales, Heavener said.
John Mori, president of Mori Luggage & Gifts, a small Atlanta chain, believes a long-awaited uptick arrived this season.
"Our sales are running 16 percent ahead of last December on a comparative store basis," he said. He said his core customers' confidence rose with the stock market, translating to more sales of computer briefcases, Montblanc pens and Vera Bradley bags.
"It's the true turnaround that we've been waiting for," he said, "And it basically happened on December first."

Co-directed by Iran's premier woman director Rakhshan Bani-Etemad and her long-time collaborator Mohsen Abdolvahab, Gilaneh is both an emotionally compelling study of the suffering of an Iranian countrywoman whose beloved only son returns from the war with Iraq a helpless invalid, and a profound reflection on the human consequences of war. We first meet Gilaneh on Iranian New Year's 1988, when the Iraqis are targeting Tehran with missiles. Her handsome son Ishmael (Bahram Radan), engaged to be married, is off to the war to the blare of patriotic music, while her headstrong, pregnant daughter Maygol (Baran Kosari) insists on making the dangerous journey to Tehran to meet her husband, who has deserted from the army. Fast-forward to March 20, 2003, the day the United States began bombing Baghdad. Gilaneh cares for her bedridden son, who has been injured by chemical weapons, while she nurses the impossible dream that he will become "normal" again. With her humor and humanity, the gifted actress Fatemeh Motamed Arya takes us on extreme journeys through the worst life can offer. Watching the film, we cannot but reflect on the current war in Iraq. The enormous pain that Saddam Hussein's war machine inflicted on innocent Iranians like Gilaneh and her children is at once vindicated by the American bombs and repeated in all its horror. "Live by the sword, die by the sword," comments one character gruffly. But the heroine's great heart is certainly not bent on vengeance; for Gilaneh, the new war is irrelevant. Morteza Poursamadi's striking cinematography imbues the green, wind-swept hills of Gilaneh's farm country with deep feeling.
Rakhshan Bani-Etemad began her career as a documentary filmmaker for Iranian TV, and made her first feature film Off the Limits in 1987. She has won many international awards, been on the juries for several international film festivals, and is now considered one of the foremost contemporary Iranian directors. Her Our Times screened at the Festival in 2003. Mohsen abdolvahab has edited over 30 films as well as produced 23 short documentaries and feature documentaries on cultural and industrial subjects. His last documentary The Wives of Haj Abbas received the Silver Wolf at Amsterdam in 2001.
When tickets for a screening or event are no longer available, they will be listed as RUSH. The Rush system functions as a stand-by line that will form at the venue approximately 45 minutes prior to scheduled start time. Admittance is based on availability and will begin 15 minutes prior to program start time. Rush Tickets are the same price as advance tickets payable upon entry. There is a limit of one Rush Ticket per person.


text: The general concept behind the Gecko is wider, thinner and with less volume. These attributes offer a great deal of balance and stability for easy gybing, as well as a fun responsive feeling beneath your feet. The increased length and more parallel outlines in the larger sizes (120+) cater to the rider's needs with extra stability and planing support. Regardless of your level, the Gecko will carry you through your gybes or have you planing in the footstraps for the first time. With plenty of performance features built in, the Gecko will execute any move effortlessly. Additional footstrap options, plus daggerboard versions of the Gecko 156+ make this range the perfect companion for your progression from the first steps to planing through your gybes. It will leave nothing but a smile on your face.

Lesson 1 (from Chapters 1-8)
Padraic Kelly has been gone for sixteen years, having disappeared on one of his excursions.
The objective of this exercise is to understand what motivates some people to leave their families to search for answers.
1) Initiate a class discussion on the employment responsibilities and job descriptions of a pothunter and the effect this has on family. How is this different from an archaeologist, if at all?
2) Break the class up into groups of two or three and have each member assume the role of one of the Kelly family members. Compose a letter that you would send in Padraic's place, or imagine that you have just received such a letter. Skip and Nora both miss their father to this day. How would you react in their place? What could you say to children you seldom saw? How would you explain the long absences or justify...

5 Things to do in Battambang
#1 Bamboo Train
Listen to the click of the train against the track, breathe in the scent of rice fields, and enjoy the cool breeze while riding the Bamboo Train.
Also called a "norry," the Bamboo Train consists of a bamboo platform with wooden frames fixed to wheels and axles. It's powered by a small motor and rides along a 4-kilometer track, starting from O'Dambang village and ending at O'Sralau village.
As there is no end destination, the highlight is the ride itself. You'll see beautiful countryside with lush greenery, tiny huts, farmers and women carrying wooden baskets. At O'Sralau village, you can talk to the locals and find vendors selling snacks, scarves, and souvenirs.
Here is another unique experience: if another cart is coming from the opposite direction, the lighter cart will be manually removed from the track to give way to the heavier cart.
The ticket is $5. A tuk-tuk ride from anywhere in downtown Battambang can take you to the Bamboo Train for $4-$6. The tracks open as early as 6:00 because the carts also carry livestock, crops, wood, and other cargo. Be prepared for bumps, as some sections are damaged.
#2 Battambang Circus – Phare Ponleu Selpak
Phare Ponleu Selpak Circus is a popular attraction in Battambang. All performers are trained by professionals of the Phare Ponleu Selpak Artistic and Social Center, a non-government association dedicated to helping children, young adults, and their families improve their lives through art.
Watch artists juggle fire, walk across a wire, stand on a stick and twist their bodies. You'll also get to witness the traditional Cambodian dance. Unlike other circuses, not one animal is used in the performances.
Take an early dinner at the Artist's Café beforehand and pick up a souvenir from the boutique. Grab some popcorn made with real olive oil and butter at the entrance.
Circus tickets cost $14 for adults and $7 for children. Doors open at 18:00, and the show starts at 19:00, lasting for at least an hour. You may purchase tickets at the door or from a retailer. Email the circus to reserve tickets ahead of time.
#3 Banan Temple
After climbing 358 steps to the Banan Temple, you'll be rewarded with a panoramic view of Battambang. This 11th-century ruin is thought to be a model of Angkor Wat (but much smaller). It sits on top of a hill 20 kilometers south of Battambang, and it has fantastic views of small villages, rice paddies and the Sanker River.
The temple has been subject to looting, but some beautiful carvings still remain. Expect to see people offering prayers, flowers and incense, as the locals consider the place to be holy.
Food stalls line the path towards the temple, so you can easily get a snack after a tiresome climb.
The entrance fee is $2/person. A tuk-tuk ride from the center of Battambang costs $10-$15/person, and it's open from 7:00 to 19:00. Make sure your knees and elbows are covered because it is a place of prayer.
Take a side trip and explore the L'Ang But Meas cave, located just down the hill. Inside is a large stalactite with sparkling water dripping into a bowl below. Local legend has it that the water has mystical powers. You can approach a guide who has a torch and knows the cave by heart.
#4 Phnom Sampeau (Sampov) Caves
The Killing Caves of Phnom Sampeau have a history of Khmer Rouge atrocities. A glass-walled memorial containing the remains of those killed sits next to a reclining Buddha statue. There is also a rusty cage and cyclone fencing that house human bones.
The caves are halfway up the Phnom Sampov Mountain, and visitors can access them via a concrete staircase, surrounded by rock formations and greenery. As it's now a place of pilgrimage and locals gather there to sing and pray, be sure to cover your legs and elbows.
When you visit this historical site in the late afternoon, you can witness millions of bats pouring from the mouth of the cave. The experience can be slightly overwhelming; you can even feel a slight rise in temperature as the bats burst from the cave. But don't be scared, because they will be on the hunt for small insects, not for you.
The bats usually wake up around 17:00, and the spectacle can last for up to 40 minutes. To get another perspective, ask your tuk-tuk to drive down the mountain and stop on the road to observe the black swarm from a distance.
To get from downtown Battambang to these caves, a tuk-tuk will charge you between $10-$12. There's a $3 entrance fee for the Killing Caves, but if you only want to observe the bats, you don't need to pay to get into the caves. Nevertheless, it's still polite to buy snacks from the vendors who arrange the tables and chairs.
#5 Ek Phnom Pagoda
Climb huge blocks of stone, navigate tiny passageways and behold a timeless beauty.
Behind a modern pagoda and a massive Buddha statue is the Wat Ek Phnom, an 11th-century temple. It's a ruin, but it's still impressive in its own way. The wall is made of reddish clay, and the baray (water reservoir), the fine carvings, and the fallen bricks give the sense that you've discovered a forgotten temple.
The tranquil setting makes it a favorite picnic spot and pilgrimage destination during local festivals. Women trying to conceive also visit the temple, hoping to have their prayers granted.
From downtown Battambang, you can take a tuk-tuk for $5, and the entrance fee is $1. Take a sarong with you, or make sure to wear long sleeves and pants.
Tip: Ask the tuk-tuk driver to stop at local houses where they make homemade rice whiskey and rice paper.

12 August 2018, Writing - part x583, Developing Skills, How to Suspend Disbelief, Terms
Announcement: Delay, my new novels can be seen on the internet, but my primary publisher has gone out of business—they couldn't succeed in the past business and publishing environment. I'll keep you informed, but I need a new publisher. More information can be found at www.ancientlight.com. Check out my novels--I think you'll really enjoy them.
Introduction: I wrote the novel Aksinya: Enchantment and the Daemon. This was my 21st novel and through this blog, I gave you the entire novel in installments that included commentary on the writing. In the commentary, in addition to other general information on writing, I explained, how the novel was constructed, the metaphors and symbols in it, the writing techniques and tricks I used, and the way I built the scenes. You can look back through this blog and read the entire novel beginning with http://www.pilotlion.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-novel-part-3-girl-and-demon.html.
I'm using this novel as an example of how I produce, market, and eventually (we hope) get a novel published. I'll keep you informed along the way.
Today's Blog: To see the steps in the publication process, visit my writing website http://www.ldalford.com/ and select "production schedule," you will be sent to http://www.sisteroflight.com/.
The four plus one basic rules I employ when writing:
1. Don't confuse your readers.
2. Entertain your readers.
3. Ground your readers in the writing.
4. Don't show (or tell) everything.
4a. Show what can be seen, heard, felt, smelled, and tasted on the stage of the novel.
5. Immerse yourself in the world of your writing.
These are the steps I use to write a novel including the five discrete parts of a novel:
1. Design the initial scene
2. Develop a theme statement (initial setting, protagonist, protagonist's helper or antagonist, action statement)
a. Research as required
b. Develop the initial setting
c. Develop the characters
d. Identify the telic flaw (internal and external)
3. Write the initial scene (identify the output: implied setting, implied characters, implied action movement)
4. Write the next scene(s) to the climax (rising action)
5. Write the climax scene
6. Write the falling action scene(s)
7. Write the dénouement scene
I finished writing my 29th novel, working title, Detective, potential title Blue Rose: Enchantment and the Detective. The theme statement is: Lady Azure Rose Wishart, the Chancellor of the Fae, supernatural detective, and all around dangerous girl, finds love, solves cases, breaks heads, and plays golf.
Here is the cover proposal for Blue Rose: Enchantment and the Detective.
The most important scene in any novel is the initial scene, but eventually, you have to move to the rising action. I am continuing to write on my 30th novel, working title Red Sonja. I finished my 29th novel, working title Detective. I'm planning to start on number 31, working title Shifter.
How to begin a novel. Number one thought, we need an entertaining idea. I usually encapsulate such an idea with a theme statement. Since I'm writing a new novel, we need a new theme statement. Here is an initial cut.
For novel 30: Red Sonja, a Soviet spy, infiltrates the X-plane programs at Edwards AFB as a test pilot's administrative clerk, learns about freedom, and is redeemed.
For novel 31: TBD
Here is the scene development outline:
1. Scene input (comes from the previous scene output or is an initial scene)
2. Write the scene setting (place, time, stuff, and characters)
3. Imagine the output, creative elements, plot, telic flaw resolution (climax) and develop the tension and release.
4. Write the scene using the output and creative elements to build the tension.
5. Write the release
6. Write the kicker
Today: Suspension of disbelief is the characteristic of writing that pulls the reader into the world of the novel in such a way that the reader would rather face the world of the novel rather than the real world—at least while reading. If this occurs while not reading, it is potentially a mental problem. To achieve the suspension of disbelief your writing has to meet some basic criteria and contain some strong inspiration. If you want to call the inspiration creativity, that works too. Here is a list of the basic criteria to hope to achieve some degree of suspension of disbelief.
1. Reasonably written in standard English
2. No glaring logical fallacies
3. Reasoned worldview
4. Creative and interesting topic
5. A Plot
6. Entertaining
Here is a list of these basic language factors (standard English) that might prevent suspension of disbelief:
1. Vocabulary
2. Grammar
3. Dialog
4. Language
5. Idioms and dialects
6. Understanding
7. Terms
8. Sounds like
Generally, we write about problems with your writing that might prevent suspension of disbelief. The assumption is that you can write well enough to produce a work where suspension of disbelief is possible, and the problem is to keep the reader in that suspension of disbelief.
If the reader has to stop and think, they will be knocked out of the suspension of disbelief. Thinking is for technical works—entertainment is for fiction. The point of fiction is to grab hold of the reader's mind and build a world in the imagination of the reader. You can imagine what hitting an unknown acronym might do. How about a non-universal term. What about people who read your novel ten, twenty, fifty, or a hundred years in the future?
I have read great novels that can be considered peculiar today because of the terms used in them. The Little Witch is one of the best examples. This is a fun kids novel from the 1950s and boy does it read like a kids novel from the 1950s. Instead of standard English, the author used the slang terms from her era for the dialog in the novel. Not only does it sound oddly, or I should say, read oddly, the dialog sometimes grates on the mind of the reader. When you hit one of these, so called, hip terms from the 1950s, the meaning is somewhat obscure and the reader either has to look it up or try to figure out what it means by context—either of these throws the reader out of the suspension of disbelief. If you are reading the novel to others, especially kids, you will have to stop and explain. As a kid, I hated it when the reader did that. A listener would almost rather skip over the strange term than stop for it. This is what we hope happens when a reader hits a term they don't understand.
We as authors need to be completely sensitive to this. Terms that are outside of the nominal experience of the reader can be colored in with definitions and contextual definitions. This goes back to vocabulary as well as the other examples I gave.
In a perfectly expressed piece of writing, the proper average reader will not be overly surprised by unusual terms, constructions, or vocabulary because the writer will preemptively realize what could be misunderstood, not understood, or be non-standard English. Writing from the standpoint of the common culture is likely not a good idea—that was the mistake of the author of The Little Witch. Common culture will lead you to odd idioms, slang, odd terms, non-standard English, as well as other bad writing habits.
Perhaps the best way to prevent these are to read and read a lot. A crisp understanding of standard English and the expectation of good literature means less chance of writing that is misunderstood, not understood, or non-standard English. In any case, always be sensitive to terms that are not normal. Give the reader a definition. Explanation, especially in dialog, is always a winning strategy for good fiction.
More tomorrow.

I am publishing the names of missing classmates in the hopes, someday, someone will do a Google search on one of them, and when this blog pops up they will let me know whatever happened to them. This list does not include people who surprisingly expressed a desire to remain anonymous.
Missing classmates from Lansdowne-Aldan High School, Class of 1954, are:
Wanda Anderson, Edith Baranyai, Judy Bates, Ruth Beverly, Bruce Bishop, Ed Bishop, Pat Brown, Pearl Byrd, Ted Carl, Bill Dougherty, Alma Fontana, Shirley Frith, Celine Geary, Gwen Gentile, Marilyn Hall, Bill Hayes, Jack King, Bill Krause, Janet Lane, Bob Martin, Pat Mason, Dolores McIntire, Betty Nawn, Peggy Nock, George Nopper, Sherry Ott, Marion Overcash, Joan Pheneger, Bill Rumberger, Ralph Russo, Ed Scott, Tom Sharkey, Dianne Singley, Duane Snyder, Katherine Tashjian, Ron Vinnacombe, Lynn Wheeler, Jean Williamson, Marcia Zamorsky
By an amazing coincidence, Jean Williamson's parents were in the same retirement community as my parents in Boca Raton, Florida. She lived in the area and we all had dinner together several times over the years. Now our parents are gone and I never got her address because I never thought our parents would die. As of about fifteen years ago, she was healthy, happy, single, and thinking of retirement, but that's all I know.
I have on one list all of our classmates, both those with and without addresses, and those known to be deceased. Contact me if you would like a current copy. It has Jimmy Herring's address. If you know of any others who moved on before graduation or were just friends of our classmates, let me know and I'll add them, too. I see no need to strictly limit it to graduates.

Is Laser Teeth Whitening Popular for Medellin Visitors?
You bet it is! Think...$$$$ Savings!!
It seems that the desire for whiter teeth has been the source for an incredible amount of research in recent years, because the new developments just keep on coming. The fact is, that now more than ever you can have an effect on the color and brightness of your smile and just how much is really up to you.
The latest technology to hit the dentist office for teeth whitening is called Zoom laser and it sounds like space age technology. The fact is, that it is space age technology but don't worry because it is perfectly painless, because the laser that is used is far less powerful then lasers you may have seen demonstrated on TV programs.
What are the benefits of a Zoom laser treatment and with so many whitening treatment options already available is this new one really necessary? The fact is that Zoom laser teeth whitening is no gimmick and it has some added benefits that other treatments just don't offer.
To begin with, it is much faster and can be done in as little time as one hour in a dentist office that offers Zoom teeth whitening treatments. In that one hour your teeth can be whitened by as much as six shades, which is the same amount of brightening that other conventional treatments require several hours to achieve.
Because it is so much faster than other whitening treatments it is less costly as well. With Zoom laser teeth whitening it is actually possible to have your teeth whitened on your lunch break if you really wanted to.
Over the counter teeth whitening strips can take up to thirty days to show any result and even then it will only be one shade at best. This means that when you add up the total cost of a few months supply of teeth whitening strips it is comparative to one Zoom laser treatment that gives six shades of whitening in just one hour.
Medical Tourism To South America
Medical tourism is a fact of modern life. As the cost of medical procedures continue to soar in the developed world more and more people are forced to find less expensive medical treatment. Some try unorthodox medical treatments with varying degrees of success. However for many only an accredited medical facility will do. If that medical facility happens to be in another country then so be it.
Those seeking
cosmetic surgery
look all over the world
trying to find medical treatments they can afford. Some consider Asia or Eastern Europe, but for a growing number of people their medical tourism takes them to South America.
There are several countries in South America that are common destinations for medical tourists. They include places like Colombia, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Peru and Uruguay. All these
South American countries
have skilled, well-trained, certified medical professionals who do excellent work. Many of them have gone to good medical schools and could be practicing in one of the developed countries. For any number of reasons they have decided to practice in South America and the medical tourists are glad of it. In South America
cosmetic surgery and
liposuction cost
a lot less than they do almost any place else.
There are many dangers associated with medical tourism. Some doctors and medical facilities in other countries are very different than in North America or Western Europe. In some places the operating room is not as sterile as many would like. The language barrier can lead to a variety of problems. It can sometimes lead to misunderstandings before, during and after surgery. Most people find ways around it, are able to reduce their liposuction cost, have excellent work done and go home happy.
Medical tourism is frowned upon in many circles. Many raise questions about the training and certification of the medical professionals, malpractice insurance and what legal leg a medical tourist has to stand on should something go wrong. There are concerns about the age of the technologies the doctors in South America may use and the efficacy of the drugs involved in the procedures. But for people who desperately need help and cannot afford to pay the premium prices many North American or Western European medical facilities charge, medical tourism to Medellin remains a viable option. Do research on the doctors and facilities, take an interpreter and go get the procedure you want or need.
It's not just that
100 million Americans will reach retirement age
over the next 30 years, and growing numbers of them won't be able to afford the ever rising U.S. health care costs even with an Obama Care replacement. Americans already are traveling to Panama, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Argentina and Chile, among other countries, for heart operations, cosmetic surgery or dental work at half price, and with
more personalized attention
. Also, many US health insurance companies will not cover many elective surgeries.
Physicians in Medellin Colombia have been treating patients from all over the world for years, especially for cosmetic and eye surgery. Colombia has also become a recognized provider of advanced cardiovascular and transplant surgery. What often compels people to seek transplant surgery offshore is not only cost considerations, but waiting lists (such as in the U.S.) or the lack of an organized organ inventory and donor system in their home country. Colombia has such an organ donor and banking system which makes organs available to foreigners with
certain legal restrictions.
All Colombians are considered organ transplant donors unless otherwise documented.

[Previous Chapter][Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
Chapter 5:
Just as Jiang Le was still staring at the dragon's gigantic skeleton remains, Yueling had quietly walked to its tail portion and had taken a tiny bone fragment. She proceeded to grind it into powder before mixing it into a wine cup.
With a soft sigh, she proceeded to take out a red pill and dropped it into the wine cup, "You have no idea how fortunate you are. This is the Sacred Dragon Blood Divine Pill, a precious celestial treasure of the Tranquil Palace. Now it will be given to you. Gulp it down."
Jiang Le was startled, "What is it?"
Yue Ling replied, "Do you want to improve your internal strength? Then drink it."
Jiang Le almost jumped out as he said excitingly, "Your meaning, my internal strength will increase after drinking this? I have only heard of miraculous herbs and pills that can improve internal energy cultivation but I have never seen any. Surely it is not real…"
Without hesitating, he grabbed the wine cup and gulped down every single drop.
Immediately he was feeling hot and full of energy!
Yue Ling gently placed her hands on his back, "Don't move. I am helping you to dissipate your vital energies throughout your body or you will surely die."
Jiang Le was perspiring already as the internal heat swelled from within him. He jokingly said, "Alas, it is really my lucky day. Say, how much do you think my internal strength will Improve?"
Yue Ling answered coolly, "One period."
Jiang Le was stunned. One period means sixty years of internal strength!
Sixty years of internal strength cultivation could propel anyone to a super exponent!
"This is not real?" Jiang Le was blinking his eyes nonstop dreamily.
All of a sudden he felt like grabbing his protégé teacher and kissed her foot. Moreover she was such an alluring maiden! And even grabbing her to bed…
But he soon shook his head as he thought, "I mustn't have these awful thoughts. She is my protégé teacher and it is taboo for such a relationship. Jiang Le, are you such a beast for repaying kindness with evil? You have prided yourself as an iron blood man!"
His thoughts quickly returned to reality, "Who are they? If they can get one period of internal strength this easily then they must all be super exponents and they can easily dominate the martial fraternity. But why didn't they? Are they really a true celestial clan?"
Yue Ling heaved a soft sigh, "It is done. Continue to circulate your internal energies for a little while."
Jiang Le nodded as he took a deep breath. He felt so light yet he was seemingly so energetic and full of strength, "I feel like I am reborn again!"
Yue Ling nodded gently as she seated herself, "That's good. Now I shall tell you the origin of our celestial clan."
She heaved soft sigh and said, "Listen and pay heed. Our celestial clan was found thousands of years ago and is an ancient order. The founder was the Lady of the Tranquil Mists and this dragon skeleton remain was her dragon and steed. She was a Dragon Practitioner, the last of her kind who was able to tame and communicate with the Dragon Kind. She had found the Tranquil Palace to aid the potential celestial practitioners to ascend to the Celestial Realm."
Jiang Le was muttering, "Thousands of years old? Hold! This doesn't sound right. Aren't you just…"
Yue Ling interrupted softly, "Aren't I the 24th protégé grandmaster? Jiang Le, do you know how old I am? I am already eight hundred years old!"
Jiang Le was shocked, "Are you an Immortal or a Fox Vixen Fairy. No one can live this long!"
Yue Ling firmly said, "We are celestial practitioners. We are able to overcome the limitations of life and death. From now on, you are one of us. However for that to happen first, you have to overcome your Divine Calamity first before you can begin your celestial practice."
Jiang Le muttered, "What Divine Calamity?"
Yue Ling answered, "That is part of your heavenly tribulations that will obstruct you from being a Celestial and your ascension to the Celestial Realm!"
Jiang Le asked, "What is it like? Is it deadly?"
Yue ling said, "You have witnessed it already."
Jiang Le was puzzled, "Have I?"
She took a melancholy look at him, "That day when we have first met. I was facing my Divine Calamity."
Jiang Le smiled weakly at that and he quickly muttered, "Well, it doesn't look so deadly."
Yue Ling replied with sorrowful eyes, "You are wrong. You will die if you fail to overcome your Divine Calamity."
Jiang Le was startled, "I will die?"
Yue Ling nodded, "Yes. But once you have overcome your first Divine Calamity, you can begin your celestial practice at the Lower Genesis. There are seven celestial divinity to overcome in order to transcend to the Celestial Realm; Genesis, Enlighten, Emotion, Transverse, Seventh Sense, Crisis and Ascend. There are three tiers to each of the celestial divinity; lower, middle and upper. There will be heavenly tribulations that awaited you at every stage. This will be a long journey for you before you can ascend."
She looked at Jiang Le and asked gently, "Have all these sink into you?"
Jiang Le was muttering nonstop, "Overcome my Divine Calamity, Genesis Stage, be a celestial practitioner, eight hundred years, Immortality…"
He bowed to the ground earnestly, "Protégé teacher, protégé mistress! What must I do to experience my first Divine Calamity? What must I do to be a celestial practitioner? What must I do to attain the Genesis Stage? Please enlighten me!"
Yue Ling nodded in approval as she said gently, "The celestial arts of the Tranquil Palace will be imparted to you. I have already given you the Sacred Dragon Blood Divine Pill so you should have already reached the pinnacle level of mortals. All you need is a trigger point for your Divine Calamity."
She took out a blue pearl and looked intently at it, "This is the Divine Alma Pearl, the most sacred treasure of the Tranquil Pearl. It's a precious divine treasure that our first founder had left behind. Do you know how precious this is?"
Jiang Le had recognized it. When he had first seen his protégé teacher, it was clutched tightly in her hands. At that time his mind was occupied by something else…
Yue Ling groaned softly, "Why are your ears so red? What are you thinking?"
Jiang Le turned even redder as he quickly said, "Nothing. It is just that Protégé Teacher you are really just too beautiful."
Yue Ling was startled by his reply. She quickly regained her composure and chided him gently, "You mustn't have any thoughts for me, is that understood? I am your protégé teacher and moreover the protégé mistress of the Tranquil Palace. I forgive you this once."
She quickly returned to the Divine Alma Pearl and it up, saying dreamily, "Naturally you won't be able to comprehend how precious this is because you are not a celestial practitioner. Listen Jiang Le, you must safeguard the whereabouts of this Divine Alma Pearl and never divulge to any one that is not from the Tranquil Palace of its existence. Can you make an oath?"
Jiang Le nodded and lifted his hand, "To the Heavens I swear, I shall tell none about it or else I will be destroyed by the Heavens!"
Yue Ling nodded and said quietly, "This Divine Alma Pearl contains the essence of the Universal Force, the most powerful force in the entire universe. It is able to give insight of the Divine Calamities to the celestial practitioner and help to avert the worst possibilities. However it cannot be used more than three times by each practitioner. I have already used it for the third time and that is the time when you have first seen me."
Her eyes were full of melancholy as she continued, "I can no longer use the Divine Alma Pearl anymore…"
When Jiang Le saw her sorrowful expression, he was heartache so he said loudly. "Protégé teacher, you don't have to be so sad. I, Jiang Le will find you another one!"
Yue Ling smiled, "I am afraid that it will be quite impossible. Moreover even if you found one, it is futile as this limit is still restricted by the power of the Divine Calamities. There used to be two others, so I know."
Jiang Le asked, "Used to be?"
Yue Ling nodded, "This is the only Divine Alma Pearl that is left now. One was consumed when our founder first ascended to the heavens and the other was destroyed by a Divine Calamity."
Jiang Le asked curiously, "It can be destroyed by the Divine Calamity? Then how do you use it?"
Yue Ling looked intently at him before saying, "The willpower of the celestial practitioner is particular important. If your will is weak then the Divine Alma Pearl will be destroyed as well. In order to gain the insight from the Divine Calamity, you must be able to survive its furies with sheer willpower and strength. Only then can the Divine Alma Pearl protects you and preserve your life should you fail the Divine Calamity."
She paused before saying quietly, "You can be destroyed but not the Divine Alma Pearl, do you understand? The fate of the Tranquil Palace depends on this last remaining Divine Alma Pearl. You still have no idea how precious it is. If you fail your Divine Calamity, the Divine Alma Pearl will protect you if your will is strong enough. Nothing is more precious than life itself to the celestial practitioners. Do you know now?"
Jiang Le nodded and said slowly, "Nothing is more precious than life itself…"
How would he not know? All this while, all his life, he had been trying to live and fighting to keep his life!

"Is accessibility required?"
eLearning Ought to Be Inclusive
eLearning Ought to Be Inclusive
Chuck Lorenz | May 17, 2017
I am a member of a family that is profoundly aware of the impact of inclusive design, assistive technologies, reserved parking spaces, and people with patience. Our vision, mobility, and cognitive abilities span a considerable range. If your definition of family is not too narrow, I bet you'll recognize someone close to you who functions outside the normal range, who may get categorized as disabled. Perhaps you yourself are such a person. In 2015 as much as 10% of American adults reported some type of vision impairment that could not be corrected or had no vision.* Crunch the numbers with those are affected by reduced mobility and cognitive disabilities such as dyslexia and ADHD. With so many persons affected by various disabilities, why do we still ask "Is accessibility required?"
It's really great that the issue is being raised. But I'm no fan of how the question is formulated: "required." When is accessibility "required"? Really, only two things determine when accessibility features are required: the law and the client.
Laws are enacted for a variety of reasons, but let me state one philosophical reason: a law ensures that an identified good is achieved. But laws are limited to their jurisdictions. In the U.S. section 508 mandates accessibility for federal agencies. Other regions in the world expand this a bit, sometimes including all non-profits and large companies. But inevitably there are clients that are not "forced" to comply.
What goes through the mind of a client when asked "Is accessibility required?" Who and what requires accessibility? The law? Maybe; we just acknowledged that. How about the client company's mission? Or the company's constituents? Many companies value diversity and address it in their mission and culture statements. But how many have implemented that value statement in policies governing accessible training and accessible eLearning? How many companies have a workforce with disabilities of such a proportion that requiring accessibility is a no brainer? Is it too far-fetched to imagine many clients doing this mental calculation: "No, no legal requirement. And we don't have any blind employees, so I guess the answer is no. No, accessibility is not required."
What if the client were asked instead "Is accessibility desirable?" Would we expect the same response?
What if the client were asked instead "Is accessibility desirable?" Would we expect the same response? I'd expect the most frequent response would be a quick "yes." I'd also expect that many times it would be followed with a tentative "but…" and with variations of questions indicating the client isn't sure what this involves. I think this would be tremendous progress. What a difference starting a conversation with "yes" rather than "no."
Please ask yourself this question: "Why am I not providing accessibility without asking?" I can't answer it for you. Perhaps there are legitimate reasons. But I want to challenge some that I anticipate.
Knowledgeable management. Are the decision-makers working from incomplete or out-dated information? Ask the staff what it takes to provide accessibility in every course. Determine what level of accessibility is feasible with various authoring tools and techniques. Calculate costs, not in terms of applying accessibility at the end of a project, but rather as something that is addressed throughout project development. Frame your company's commitment to accessibility in terms of a level of accessibility rather than of an "all or nothing" binary choice.
Knowledgeable staff. Hire staff who understand and who are committed to accessibility. Use it as a keyword in your job descriptions, and make it a topic for discussion during interviews. Already have good staff, but they're not proficient in accessibility? There's no excuse for an educator not to embrace life-long learning. Plenty of on-line materials make it easy for all roles, both design and production, to get up to speed. Make it an expectation that all roles know how to contribute to accessibility. Designers devise learning experiences that are inclusive. Scriptwriters compose content mindful of those who can't see supporting images and of those with cognitive impairments. Art directors and graphic artists test their palettes to ensure minimum contrast and to prevent traps for those who are color-blind. Developers understand how authoring tools implement accessibility and deploy those features. QA testers find the tools that help you ensure everyone has done their part. Don't be surprised if a good bit of expertise is already present in your team and is going unused.
Tools. Find, use, and recommend authoring tools (like Adapt!) that are committed to facilitating accessibility. Use apps that assess color contrast and font size, that expose the content of alt tags, that display ARIA labels and tab index. Supplement your expertise with automation.
Ultimately the choice to deliver digital learning that is accessible is a value judgment. We've been asking the client to make that judgment. Let's begin by weighing our commitment. How committed are we to making our workplace accessible? Think about your most valued team member. Think about the expertise she has acquired over the years, the impact she has had in the industry and on individual learners, and then also the impact she has had on your company's bottom line. Why would you want to lose all that just because "accessibility isn't required"? Why should she feel that her expertise counts for nothing just because she has lost a portion of her vision? Providing accessibility is not simply about opening doors to new talent, it is also about retaining the talent who are our friends.

Ricky Ponting has said his and Sachin Tendulkar's low returns for Mumbai Indians have affected the team's batting in the tournament. The openers have put together two half-century stands, but thrice the team has lost its first wicket in the first over. Ponting has scored 52 runs in five innings and Tendulkar 69. Asked about Tendulkar's batting form, Ponting said it has been "no different than mine".
Mumbai Indians made another false start against Rajasthan Royals in a chase of 180 as the openers were out early - Tendulkar in the first over and Ponting in the third - to offspinner Ajit Chandila.
"The two guys at the top of the order haven't done the job required off them by the team," Ponting said. "We are five games into the tournament; both of us need to play better. If we want to continue winning games and if we want to be the team at the end of it that holds the trophy up, then you need everyone in the team performing more often than not. Neither of us has played as well as we would have liked. I'd expect a lot from myself from the first few games compared to what I have delivered."
Royals, led by an unbeaten half-century by Ajinkya Rahane, put up a challenging total, but Mumbai Indians' innings fizzled early as Royals took the pace off the ball with the use of spinners and medium-pacers. At 61 for 5 in the 13th over, they had lost all their in-form batsmen. Ponting, however, didn't blame the pitch.
"The wicket was good, as you can see by the first innings of the game," he said. "It is fair to say that the wicket did a little bit in the second innings, but it always looks that way when the batting is under pressure. So we can't blame the conditions."
Ponting also added that the team could make some changes now. "We will think about mixing and matching, reorder a bit. I talked to the coaches before this game about making sure our guys in the middle order get a fair bit of batting early in the tournament, because guys like Rayudu haven't had much of batting yet."
Royals' offspinner Chandila, who took a hat-trick last season, opened the bowling and was instrumental in putting early pressure with the wickets of Tendulkar and Ponting. He said the wickets were like a "dream come to true" for him.
"Taking the wickets of two legends of the game is like a double hat-trick for me, " Chandila told IPLT20.com. "I still cannot believe this has happened, I feel I am in some sort of dream. I just cannot express how I feel. My hands and feet are cold at the moment. As a bowler, I cannot ask for anything more.
"Rahul Dravid sir is like God for me. He just placed his hands on my head before the first over and said, 'Ajit, you will bowl well. Just be confident when you are bowling and the rest will take care of itself.' Those words were in my head as I went to bowl."

Dungeon Defender
Dungeon Defender is very unique tower defense game. Tom Delorenzi make game with poor graphics, but good playability.
Dungeon Defender is real time strategy and tower defense hybrid. In the game you must protect your treasure from heroes. When you start new game, you can create avatar. You can choose from:
- Death Knight is a melee avatar. His main weakness is he cannot deal damage from a safe distance. He gains the following special abilities at higher levels: Bash it stuns an enemy, Tower Shield reduces damage, Lay On Hands gives him maximum damage for a time.
- Chaos ranger is better for long ranges with help of a crossbow. He gains the following special abilities at higher levels: Multishot he uses 3 arrows at once, Trainer improves stats for produced creatures, Critical Strike can double damage.
- Evil Wizard has area effect damage and it is specialized in magic. At higher levels he gains the following abilities: Chain Lightning lighting bounces between enemies, Gate protects him for a time, Poison Cloud cloud of poison damages enemies in it's range.
You can move your avatar with arrow keys. In next window you can see levels of game. After choosing level, game starts. In game you can control game from 4 basic panels on the right side. Lairs panel is for digging and build lairs, Support panel lets you place traps and support buildings, in Items panel you can see avatar items and in Avatar panel you can see avatar's stats.
You can build these lairs:
- Goblin is basic melee lair
- Centaur fire arrows at enemies
- Minotaur is stronger melle unit
- Manticore is flying unit and can be attacked only by range units.
- Vampire is flying unit and drain life from enemies.
- Lich hurls clouds of death.
- Elemental is very strong and big unit.
- Hydra is special unit available only for Death Knight
- Demon is special unit available only for Evil Wizard
- Wyrm is special unit available only for Chaos Ranger
You can also buy from these support items: Gym, Track, Academy or Gold Vault. They are necessary to provide a stat bonus per level of strength, dexterity, and magic or increasing interests between rounds. You can also buy traps in the game: Spike Trap, Pit Trap, Boulder Trap, Maim Trap, Death Trap, Grave Trap or Swarm Trap. Last three are available only for specific avatar.
After victory you are rewarded with bonus points and you can buy various game abilities for them. Game contains bonus tree, when you can choose from big variety of abilities.
As you can see above Dungeon Defender is very complex game. At beginning this game look so strange and difficult to me. To much possibilities made from this game giant with poor playability. Later I discovered, that poor graphics and annoying background music hides good game.
Dungeon Defender is very complex real strategy and tower defense game. It has good playability but it take time, to learn all possibilities of this game.

"and upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it."
Quite a statement that Jesus made about the church. Looks as though that Jesus' church has quite a bit of clout.
But do we realize just how much? Do we realize just how much Jesus has built into His church?
How much time do we waste treating the church as if it were just another organization...where we pay our dues and demand that things be done (or not done) to suit us?
Is the church here for us? Or is there something else...something more?
These are some of the questions we will explore and find answers to over the next few weeks as we dig into God's word and discover the truth about the doctrine of the church.
So join us—in person at 10:30 Sunday mornings, or live on Facebook—as we explore further the message series "On This Rock: The Doctrine of the Church."

Home security is of the utmost importance. Homeowners are gradually becoming more concerned about crime. This leads home dwellers to purchase home security systems to protect their families and homes. The problem many people have is there are many home security options available, which makes choosing the right system difficult. The goal is to find a system that fits the homeowner's needs, perfectly.
Research was performed by Wirefly regarding the top home security systems for the Falkner, MS area. Researchers at the company talked to industry experts and others in the home security field. Customers who are currently using one of the top security systems were also an intricate part of this study. This will provide homeowners with the most precise and current information. The information we gathered should help home dwellers decide which home alarm and security company will best suit their needs.
Reviews of the top home security companies will be provided, and there are a few things one should look for when looking for a security system that the company will explore as well. Knowledge is the key to making the right choice.
Home security providers are abundant in Falkner, MS, and each one has its own plans, functions, benefits, and costs. Regardless of your particular needs, you can rest assured that there's a suitable system out there for your house. Setup costs, hardware, and recurring surveillance fees are the three primary factors in calculating the full expense of your house's alarm system. Having your system professionally installed could cost you as much as a couple hundred dollars, but you can install a lot of security systems yourself. A standard security system typically costs well over $200, but if you enroll in a monthly surveillance service, some companies will provide you with a system for free. With regard to surveillance services, subject to which features you need, you'll most likely pay somewhere between $15 and over $200 each month.
Revolutions come in waves, and one hit the home security system industry like a tidal wave with new wireless technology. Residents in Falkner, MS now have the opportunity to have state-of-the-art technology installed in their homes.
Some homeowners might be afraid that a professional will come to their home and drill numerous holes in their walls to install this new system, but that is not necessary. One of the perks of the wireless home security system is that there is no need for holes or wires to connect to the security panel. The components in this system have no wires and can be moved without affecting their signal. This is possible because wireless systems now communicate via cellular signals that allow the panel to keep tabs on the entire home without a single wire. Most homeowners love the fact that burglars cannot debilitate the landline or power lines to disable the home security system.
You can ask the security system company to modify your system to suit your specific needs. As the customer, you are at liberty to choose between interior cameras or exterior cameras. Moreover, you can choose more sophisticated types that have night vision and motion-activated features. These cameras will enable you to monitor any situation. You can also link your home security system to your tablet, computer, or smartphone to review previously recorded video clips from your cameras. Additionally, you can easily review the day's important event by the use of monitor-activated cameras. Security cameras will enable you to monitor your pets, watch out for deliveries made, and know what is going on in your house when you are not around.
Smart technology can do wonders for a home. Homeowners will be surprised as to how much control and powerful automation a home can give them. Granted, some of the features associated with a smart home seem somewhat far-fetched, but the truth is that wireless technology has opened the door to many opportunities. For example, automating a home could mean that the air conditioning can be turned on or off without the homeowner being there. A home can be at the perfect temperature by the time the homeowner arrives home. An automated home can alert the homeowner of a CO2 leak or a leaky pipe. Both of these issues need to be addressed immediately, and the automation system should help ensure that it does. The automation system provides the homeowner with live updates regarding the time children get home from school. The digital peephole and automated lock gives the homeowner the ability to let a child in the house, even if he or she forgot the key. The digital peep hole could even see and communicate with anyone who is ringing the doorbell. This means that a mail person can be instructed to leave a package at the door, just as an example. An automated home offers a homeowner a lot of features, and Wirefly encourages residents in Falkner, MS to take advantage of these.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

California Mortgage Seizures Could Affect $7 Billion in Bonds, Fitch Says
The contemplated seizure of residential loans by three California municipalities puts returns on roughly $7 billion in mortgage-backed securities at risk if a proposal is adopted, according to a Fitch Ratings report on Monday.
The estimate is based on the $14 billion of underwater mortgage loans across San Bernardino County and two cities, Fontana and Ontario, that are considering use of eminent domain to take the mortgages and restructure them at current property values. About half of those borrowers are current in their payments, a prerequisite under the Homeownership Protection Plan pitched to the municipalities by venture capital firm Mortgage Resolution Partners.
Consideration of the plan has drawn both public support and harsh criticism as one of the more dramatic ways to address a weak housing market in one of the nation's hardest-hit regions. Under the plan, Mortgage Resolution Partners would finance the purchase of loans at fair market value below the current property value, and help refinance them using a government-backed program.
