The National Council of Churches (NCC) expressed its "incredulity and sadness" today (April 5) over the resurgence of anti-Islam activities marked by the burning of the Qur'an by the Rev. Terry Jones, and the reactionary mob attacks on Christians in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
The NCC and its partners have condemned violence and discrimination against Christians in areas where they are a religious minority, and has also spoken out against Islamophobia in the U.S. and elsewhere.
"Frankly, it is with incredulity and sadness that we find ourselves reiterating these messages," said the Rev. Dr. Michael Kinnamon, NCC general secretary.
Last month, Kinnamon and other church leaders participated in a rally in New York's Times Square that affirmed religious freedom for all Americans, including Muslims. Participants raised placards declaring "Today, I am a Muslim, too" and urged all citizens to support Muslims as neighbors.
Kinnamon said it is likely that media coverage of Jones and his tiny congregation, self-styled as the Dove World Outreach Center, "has grossly exaggerated their significance and their influence on rational Americans."
As extremist mobs seek to retaliate against Jones by attacking Christian churches in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Kinnamon said he hoped media coverage "will take care to place him in the proper context. His hateful acts are clearly intended to call attention to himself and raise money for his church, but in the context of worldwide Christianity, his views are an aberration and his community a nonentity."
The Dove center's webpage offers caps and coffee cups proclaiming anti-Islam slogans and invites online contributions to the church.
Earlier NCC statements supporting the rights and safety of Muslims, and deploring Jones' actions and other acts of Islamophobia, can be found in the links below.

If you've ever seen one of those county-level presidential voting maps, this may look familiar:
What's up with all of those red counties across the South, except that curving belt of blue? I've always assumed those counties had more black people, but I didn't think too much about why until I saw this tweet by Nick Baumann today:
See the blue belt on the Obama/Romney map? That's Cretaceous coastline. Fertile soil later led to high cotton production + high slave population.And that high enslaved population led to a higher number of black voters today.
Here's a map, also by county, showing the concentration of enslaved populations in the 1860 census:
It's not completely one-to-one, but I'd be willing to bet the counties that were black or dark gray in 1860 and are now red are ones where black people were run out of the county during Reconstruction or had extra-large outflows of black people during the Great Migration in the early 20th century.
But you can definitely see that most of the blue counties today were among the black and dark gray counties on the 1860 map, even though the white people in those counties are the least likely to vote for a modern-day Democrat.

How should friends respond to a musician's request for feedback.
My friend Peter just asked me if I wanted an honest reaction to my latest musical effort. Or did I want feedback designed to boost my self esteem?[sic.].
Good question, Pedro.
When I was in high school I played Judge Danforth in the Crucible and to the shock of my fellow cast members and teachers managed to remember and deliver my lines. Afterwards my father said, "It's hard to believe the character and not see your son playing the part. But for a few minutes I really thought it was Judge Danforth."
Wow! Thanks, Dad. That's a compliment I remember.
Since my first and only acting performance, I've self-published four novels and created an internet musical presence through home recordings and self-made videos. I've learned to separate critics into three camps.
- Family and friends — not to be trusted — unless they're truly cruel they're going to as Peter suggested pat you on the head and say, "Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?"
- Strangers — better because they see the art not the artist.
- Professionals–best because they comment on the intricacies of what you're doing and can make suggestions that actually improve your mix.
Professional artists have big audiences because they have professional backing. Of course there are exceptions particularly in music where an artists can self-generate a large base of fans who will discuss and appreciate the music. But for most of us until we've found a publishing house or record label to invest, develop and promote our music or novels you're going to be left mostly with family and friends.
So, I have a response for my friend Peter and all family and friends of artists:
No artist rises fully formed from the physiological storms that produce their art. Every artist must go through transformative stages to get to the point where his art can capture the imagination of someone else and take them out of themselves–the ultimate affect of art.
What I want from you depends on what stage I give you the project. If I send you a preliminary mix or draft then what I want is detailed feedback I can use to improve my art (e.g. bring up the bottom on that part of the song).
If I've sent you, as in this case, a mastered demo then I want you to hear the music not the artist and tell me when you forgot it was me up there and you saw Judge Danforth.
Apokaful is now shopping a demo to record labels and has received one offer so far from Plusquam Records.

"THE VOW" — ★★★ — Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum, Sam Neill, Jessica Lange, Scott Speedman; PG-13 (language, partial nudity); in general release
The new romance film "The Vow" suggests love means never having to say you can't remember your spouse's name. The film, loosely based on a true story, follows the life of a woman who comes out of a coma with no recollection of her married life.
"The Vow" has three things going for it: likable stars, a director who knows how to stay away from Saccharine-sweet sentimentality and a compelling story.
The film's biggest assets are Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum. McAdams has the type of angelic face and sweet personality that make it easy to fall in love with her. Tatum brings both a rough physicality and surprising vulnerability to his role. They make it easy to root for this couple to stay together.
Michael Sucsy uses an even hand in directing the romantic elements. He doesn't push the romance with overly orchestrated music or fancy film work. He's confident enough in his direction to allow scenes to play out at a pace that gives the audience time to get to know these people.
He even manages to stage the car-crash sequence, which sets the story in motion, in a poetic manner rather than go for shock value. There are a few romance-film mainstays in "The Vow," but generally it has a fresh, sweet tone.
As for the story, amnesia is always tricky because it is often used as a way around plot obstacles. It works here because it is the vehicle to drive the love story and not a cheesy gimmick.
Incidentally, when they say the film's loosely based on a true story, that means almost nothing is the same. In the original story, the wife awakes from her coma, her husband says they are married and they go on with their lives using deep religious faith to get them through the crisis.
Had the film been actually based on that story, it would have been forgettable. It's the struggle to rekindle a love that once burned brightly that grabs our heart. "The Vow" is a reminder of how beautiful it is to fall in love — even if it is for a second time.
It's a perfect way to spend Valentine's Day.
"The Vow" is rated PG-13 for language and partial nudity; running time: 104 minutes.

Beautiful poem!
Thank you for introducing us to this beautiful poet Chrisy. Your images are so appropriate. Lovely.
Those GIFs are amazing. I must have watched them for the longest time!
Twitter: @GlamKitten88
The image of nude woman in front of the piano is especially beautiful. She seems at once fragile and strong, which I suppose is true of so many of us - artists and poets very much included!
♥ Jessica
All of this is so beautiful, Chrisy. I always marvel at how you include moving parts; in this case, that glorious sky.
Ancestors? Yes, but I have enough visits from earlier versions of myself!
Stay well my friend ♥
Such wonderful poetry and perfect images. I read it through a couple of times. Thanks so much for sharing and for always creating such beautiful posts. Hope you are well!
lovely poem, love the sky GIF picture! <3
Letters To Juliet
Thanks dear readers....running behind as usual...will try and have another post up in next couple of days...be kind to yourselves...
Big sigh... what a beautiful poem. I read it twice to take it in. I think the words are so true... "...come to continue to live with us..." I like that idea.
Happy weekend, xo jj

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. The author will be awarding three separate prizes: a $20 Amazon or B/N GC, a $10 Amazon or B/N GC, and an ecopy of Variables of Love, to randomly drawn winners via rafflecopter during the tour. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.
• I snuck my first romances in a harrowing journey from the public library to the safety of my bedroom. I'd often read them in a dark closet by the glow of a weak flashlight. Yes, I did risk my eyesight to get to that happily ever after moment.
• Like my heroine, Meena, I too was an economics major. It's funny how many economic theories can be applied to love, relationships and even sex. Then again, I am a romance writer so all things always point me back in that direction. I'm also Indian. Variables of Love is a very personal story for me. It's what happens when cultural expectations and personal convictions collide. I've borrowed from my own life experiences and culture to create this novel. It's a story I've wanted to tell for some time, and I'm humbled to have the opportunity to share it.
• I've always wanted to learn how to dance Bollywood, but somehow it comes out more Dollywood when I do it. Yes, I like to line dance. I'm not ashamed to say my rhythm is only as good as the person I'm following.
• I used to foster pit bulls. Many people think they are huge and scary, but the ones we had just wanted to be loved. Love solves a lot of problems.
• I love trying new foods, especially ethnic cuisines and the newest trends in fusion. It may be simplistic but I believe the world's problems could be solved if we reached across the table and just broke bread together once in a while.
Ethan finds himself intrigued by the mysterious, beautiful girl, whose big, brown eyes reflect great pain. His goals are small at first - to make her smile and then to laugh. But he soon wants more, and though Meena is adamant they have no future, he convinces her to share the present. Ethan believes every problem has a solution, but with cultural expectations and family duty among the variables, they will struggle to solve the ultimate equation to find happiness.
Enjoy an excerpt:
"Goodbye, girl-who-bumps-into-strangers. I only call you that because I don't know your name." Yes, and I won't give it because hearing it said out loud by your deep, sexy voice will make me loose whatever dignity I have left.
I smiled at his description, feeling more myself as each step carried me farther away from his beautiful face, sculpted muscles, and boyish grin.
"See you later, gorgeous-boy-who-picks-up-and-arranges-clumsy-girls'-essays," I uttered under my breath when I was out of earshot.
Of course, I knew who he was. Ethan Callahan, the boy who sat in the back row of Advanced Statistics. The same boy who made frequent cameos in my daydreams. I hated that he sat in the back of the lecture hall. I only saw him enter and exit the classroom. I wanted to see him enter and exit other things…like me.
About the Author:
I started imagining stories in my head at a very young age. In fact, I got so good at it that friends asked me to create plots featuring them as the heroine and the object of their affection as the hero. You've heard of fan fiction... this was friend fiction.
I hope you enjoy my stories and always find The Happily Ever After in every endeavor.
I love hearing from readers so please write to me!

With the advent of science and technology, web industry evolved along with the upbringing of internet advancements. Web Industry initially offered information with no feedback entertainment at user's end. Thus initially its Web 1.0 that comprises of wikipedia typed informatory content. Proprietary content with references of static web pages in the form of hyperlinks is the basic concept of Web 1.0.
One of the major advancement in the Web Industry was noticed as the interactive web where the Content Management Systems were introduced with posts and comments section. Web socialization is the Web 2.0 that leads to the development of the social media websites like facebook, twitter, orkut etc. Concept of user reputation and profiling get strengthened with the evolution of Web 2.0. The interesting insight of this Web 2.0 is the leading edge in web industry in terms of employment opportunities for marketing and development sectors. Keeping the technical achievements at one side, one cannot just ignore the maturity of thought and open discussions forums offered by Web 2.0. Either be it an article on political changes or a video depicting the social issues, Web 2.0 opens the gate of discussions, comments and critical feedback.
Too much information bombardment in Web 2.0 asks for efficient data processing and data linkage. Web of data or Semantic Web leads to Web 3.0 where the data is referenced with data instead of huge paged content. Googling "Date of birth of Tayyab Erdogan" answers a block containing "February 26, 1954 (age 60 years)" – this is what Web 3.0 offers. User simply need not go through pages and pages to get the answer of single query. The ontologies based web is there to do it for users.
Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 are not just technological advancements but they do have a deep impact on the thinking and socializing behavior of the users thus leading to mature and expressive user groups.

Nice, called by some the "capital city of the Côte d'Azur", is both radiant and popular as well as bright and lively. You will be surprised by its authenticity, its charm, and its unique atmosphere.
Conveniently located on the promenade des Anglais, the Nice Radisson Blu Hotel enjoys an ideal seafront location. Located close to the train station, airport, and the city's main attractions, you will be charmed by its unique range of services. With rooms overlooking the Mediterranean or the Fabron neighborhood, regional cuisine, a panoramic terrace, a wellness center, a private beach, and much more, our establishment invites you to experience a relaxing stay.
When you go out from the hotel, listen to what you really want to do by strolling down the iconic Promenade des Anglais basking in the soft Nice sunshine. The city, also famous for its passion for art and culture, offers a museum trail meandering through the wealth of its collections. Treat yourself to a visit to MAMAC, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, to admire artistic expression from the 1950s to the present day, as well as the exhibition on Vivien Roubaud, in which experiments on and appropriations of objects blend poetically (ends on May 28).
Then walk to the Matisse Museum, located in the middle of the olive grove of the Cimiez park, where the May Festival is held from May 1-29, to get a sense of the aesthetic evolution of the artist who painted Storm in Nice. You should also make a little detour to the Marc Chagall Museum, founded with the aim of showing his religiously inspired work in one place. To complete this little cultural session, don't miss the must-see Palais Lascaris where you can see each successive phase of baroque architecture in the building.
Then take a walk in the old town, a colorful and picturesque neighborhood which will charm you with its traditional side, its local artisans, its eateries fragrant with the scent of sun-drenched fruit, and the famed flower market in the Cours Saleya. Before leaving the city, take the time to get a reservation at Chez Pipo, specializing in Niçoise cuisine. There you can try its irresistible socca and other unmissable specialties such as stuffed food, pissaladière, or zucchini-flower fritters.

I have seen so many bloggers post about ruffle shirts lately. Every time I see one, I think how cute, simple and fun they look. So when I saw this cheap shirt at Gymboree, I bought two and thought I'd take a shot.
I cut the extra shirt into 1.5" strips (if you look really close, you can see them against the shirt below.) The middle one was 12.5" long, the side ones were 10.5" long.
Using a long stitch, I stitched down the middle of each one and pulled one string to gather it until it was half of its original size. Then, I pinned the ruffles an inch and a half apart and sewed them onto the shirt down the middle along the gathering stitch.
Using other 1.5" wide strips of varying length, I twirled them into small, middle and large sized flowers, and pinned those on, in between the ruffles.
I used the same technique to make the flowers as seen here - just without using glue.
I am toying with the idea of adding ruffles along the collar as well...but that might just overdo it:)

So I always get asked what music I listen to and to be honest I have a wide range of intrest when it comes to music. So every two weeks I want to update my blogspot with music that I really appreciate or even a music spotlight on a certain artist or band. In this post I will talk about one or two songs I really adore from Lana Del Rey , Azealia Banks , Chad Valley and Marina and the Diamonds.
♥ Lana Del Rey♥
So I am a huge Lana Del Rey fan and her new album "Paradise" is simply perfection ! But to slim it down the two songs that really stick out to me are Burning desire and Body Electric. They both have such a sensual and sultry melody that I can listen to all day. Plus I don't know if it's just me but Lana always gives me this since of nostalgia when I listen to her.
♥ Azealia Banks ♥
Azealia Banks is one of the baddest bitches that can spit some real game when it comes to rapping.This is just a single that Azealia released called BBD and it is just vicious ! I love his song because it has such sassy attitude follow by an amazing trap beat that simply makes me want to dance.
♥ Chad Valley ♥
I recently went to go see Warm Bodies and one particular scene stood out to me because of the musical choice for it. The song was provided by the lovely Chad valley and the song is called Shell Suite. This song is so calming , the vocal are simply divine and his voice just makes me melt. It is so romantic and makes me smile all the time and i love listrening to when ever feel bummy , everyone should really check it out.
♥ Marina and the Diamonds ♥
Marina is an amazing artist with music that releases your inner primadonna and I've been around since the family jewel days. I had a hard time just picking two songs because the entire album is so amazing however since I had to pick two I choose How to Be a Heartbreaker and Bubblegum Bitch. How to be a heartbreaker is so catchy and is I think more than anything this song is cleverly done. It showcases Marina's opinion on society between both sexes, she portrays her message very loud and clear, with a catchy hook and a great video. Moving on bubblegum bitch is such a bitchy pop song that I can simply hum and rehearse every lyric too.
I'll chew you up and I'll spit you out
Cause that's what young love is all about.
So pull me closer, and kiss me hard
I'm gonna pop your bubblegum heart
It's witty , sassy, and perfect in every way ♡
Hope you enjoyed my first "music of the week post".

GIGABYTE performs surgery on 9600GT
Though much of the focus in the graphics card world right now points to the newly launched 9800 GX2, this fresh 9600 GT based graphics card to hit town from GIGABYTE should easily still pick up some attention from the masses.

The icing on the cake comes in the form of "Ultra Durable 2", a quality assurance standard of GIGABYTEs which includes the use of Ferrite Core Chokes, Low RDS (on) MOSFETs and Lower ESR Solid Capacitors to ensure you are getting a reliable well designed product.
For the complete rundown on the card, you can locate the official announcement here folks.

Excellent product5
This impact blend is an excellent source of protein and is very easy to mix, mixes within seconds and tatses very good especially banana. I have been taking various whey proteins on this site for months and this is a top product, very good for muscle size and gains and looking to get lean. Goes Well With:Water, very nice like milkshakeReport this review
I normally have Impact Whey Protein, not Impact Blend, but this was on offer so thought I would give it a go. I went with the same flavour, chocolate smooth, but the two flavours are completely different. This has a really chemical edge to it. I will be going back to Impact Whey Protein a soon as this batch is done, as it has more protein per serving, and tastes much better.Report this review
Impact Blend4
Love this supplement. Really basic packaging which makes me feel I am getting great value for money, hate the supplements which spend more on the advertising than the product....this is not one of them. Mixes really well, high protein content, good flavour. Great product I will use again.Report this review
Worth it5
I'm using this as a substitute for breakfast and a muscle restorer. Seems to work well for both. Tastes absolutely fine and mixes really wellReport this review
Me and my wife both use this in the mornings before we head off for work, either by its self or blended with some fruit and my protein instant oats, tastes good and easy to mix, good for people who are on the go and need protein quick! great for post workout too!Report this review
Impact Blend5
Awesome product really happy with my purchase and will def keep using you guysReport this review
Great whey blend, fast mixing and good light taste. Perfect for after gym or any time you need a protein shot :)Goes Well With:Water or milk.Report this review
Very effective5
I have been using this product for 3 weeks now and I can already see some decent improvements In my muscle size. I have the banana flavour which tastes ok but I will try another flavour next time. It is very thin but I don't mind that. Overall I would definitely buy this again and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to build muscle especially because the price is very reasonable.Goes Well With:WaterReport this review
Perfect blend..5
I have been taking this for a few months now, it supports all my protein needs, is low in fat and mixes easily with a shaker. I use a little less water than recommended as I like to taste the flavour. Excellent delivery service as always. Goes Well With:Thermapure plus. D.A.AReport this review
Impact Blend4
First protein powder shake I have had since starting gym work with my football scholarship. Started using the Impact Blend in late March and used it after every gym session and double training session to firstly recover my muscles and add required protein to worked muscles after exercise. Starting to see changes in body shape and muscle definition, especially on the legs. Easy to mix and tastes like a simple milkshake when used with milk. Will be ordering another batch now.Goes Well With:Porridge OatsReport this review

the present presiding Swami of Ramanandacharya peeth swami Ramnareshacharya ji maharaj is an embodiment of deep learning and devotion. he has the sterling qualities to guide his bhaktas to sail through the rough and tumble of life. there is no two opinions that swami Ramnareshacharya will bring back the glory and halo of his holiness swami Ramanandachary by sheer dint of his spiritual glow and understanding of the current times and needs.
He has the lofty and laudable idea of constructing Ram Temple at the four corners of the country to spread the message of peace and harmony among different castes and communities in the footsteps of lord sri Ram and guru ramanand ji.
swami ji has been opposed to the politicisation and communalisation of lord sri Ram. Which is unabashedly being done by some un-scrupulous people for furthering their own ends. lord sri Ram does not belong exclusively to anybody. He is of everybody so, He cannot be appropriated. he is benevolent and let him guide us to the right path. His holiness swami ramnareshacharya ji would be able to translate his thoughts into reality to help the man-kind to achieve peace and salvation.

When I received my Bostik box this month, part of a year long project we are involved in as Bostik bloggers, and realised the theme was bird, I knew exactly what we would make. If there is one nursery rhyme that Harry loves it is this:-
Two little dickie birds sitting on a wall,One named Peter, one named Paul.Fly away, Peter! Fly away, Paul!Come back, Peter! Come back, Paul!
And so with that in mind, we set about to create our very own Dickie birds that we could use as part of our nursery rhymes together.
You will need:
Bostik Glu Dots or foam pads,
Sequins or similar to decorate,
Two "googly eyes",
Two lollipop sticks,
An assortment of feathers,
Two foam birds (either pre-cut or design your own).
Our feathers were wired so we simply pushed the wire end through the tail of the bird and wrapped it round being careful to make sure that any sharp ends were pushed safely under. If your feathers are not wired you can simply glue them into place.
Next we stuck on eyes and our decorations, using Bostik Glu Dots for less mess – bonus!!
With the birds decorated, and only a few of the jewels making it onto Harry's face (standard!) we were almost done!
To finish we attached a lollipop stick to the back of each bird using the Glu Dots, turning our birds into two little puppets.
The finished bird was so simple but, I'm sure you will agree, very effective.
Harry was so pleased with himself and instantly launched into a rendition of Two Little Dickie Birds……on repeat!!!

I started off by wrapping 0.20mm gauge wire around a metal frame.
A turquoise Fibre in-Form foil was bonded onto organza using a black fusible webbing and machine stitched in a random pattern.
In this close up you can see the wire in places.
For the next piece I once again cut the Tyvek into strips and wove them. A strip of Glitterati Fusible film had been ironed on to Kunin felt. The Tyvek strips were laid on top and a piece of organza placed over the top of this. Strips of 0.35 gauge wire were laid down and zig zag stitch was used to hold them in place.
I ironed this piece from the back to start with but it didn't seem to be disintegrating enough for my liking, so I then took the heat gun to the front.
Now to explain the white bits that you see. As I said earlier, I hadn't really used Tyvek before and didn't understand exactly how it reacts to the heat gun. The piece I used for the weaving was an old envelope sent from overseas. I had painted the inside of the envelope but didn't really take too much notice of what was on the outside. Consequently, when I melted the Tyvek the bits that stayed behind – the white bits - are the address and customs labels! DOH!
In the third piece I started off with a base layer of stretchy velvet, Bondaweb, Fibre in-Form foil and organza.
Followed by a layer of Tyvek painted with acrylic paints.
Then another layer of Tyvek, this time painted with Stewart Gill Byzantia paint.
Then finally a layer of organza and viscose ribbon, all held in place with machine stitching.
And finally, some beads made from the same fabric as the third sample. Strips of the fabric were cut, wrapped around a knitting needle and held in place with 0.20 mm gauge wire. They were then zapped with the heat gun and the ends were melted with a soldering iron before being rubbed with Treasure Gold.
Take a look at Jacquelines blog where you will see not only her fabulous samples she has made using Tyvek but some of the other wonderful pieces of work she has created.
This sample has a cotton velvet background then a layer of Lutradur, also painted with Walnut Ink, a layer of machine knitted wire then the Tyvek. Machine stitching holds the fabrics in place. The iron was used again to melt the Tyvek.
More on all of these samples later.

Mumbai: Delighted at being named for the prestigious Arjuna Award, veteran goalkeeper Subrata Paul said it will "motivate" him to do better, adding that he is totally focused on helping the national side beat Puerto Rico in the forthcoming international friendly on 3 September.
Subrata, who is nicknamed 'Spiderman' for his acrobatic saves during the 2011 AFC Asian Cup in Doha, will be conferred the award by President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan on 29 August.
He has been part of the Indian side for over a decade, and has also been captain in several matches. Dedicating the award to his family and his coach Debashish Mukherjee, the 29-year-old also thanked the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and his teammates.
"I want to dedicate this to my family — my mom, my dad, my brother, sister, my wife and my coach Debashish Mukherjee (who is also Subrata's father-in-law). The sacrifices which he has made for me and the manner he nurtured me when I needed it the most has helped me to reach this level. I can never forget their support," he said.
"I also need to thank all my coaches, my teammates, both at the club and international level, the AIFF, and the football fraternity in whole for standing by me all throughout," he added.
The Sodepur-born goalkeeper added, "It means a lot. If you go through the list of who has won an Arjuna Award since its inception in 1961, you are bound to get inspired. It is a huge honour for me. The fact that I am the 24th Indian footballer to win the award is immensely special. But no sportsperson ever takes the field thinking of winning an award. But it remains a motivation to do better. Personally, I can't change my character. So it doesn't change me as a person."
"I only hope this will inspire young kids to take up football as their hobby. If young kids continue with the sport, the supply line will increase and the level is bound to be elevated as well," he added.
Commenting on India's preparations for the upcoming feature against Puerto Rico, he said, "I believe in the present and I never look back or try to preempt the future. At the moment I am totally focused on India's international friendly against Puerto Rico. The target is to win the match and improve on our Fifa rankings. It is a very important match for us. It will be played in Mumbai; I have been told that this is the first official international match for India in Mumbai since 1955. It will be huge."
Over the years Subrata has been a winning member of the AFC Challenge Cup, three editions of the Nehru Cup and the 2016 SAFF Suzuki Cup.

Somehow, in New York more than most other places, campaigns are hammered into shape by events that happen outside them. And so, suddenly, with the alleged shooting by police of Patrick Dorismond and Mayor Giuliani's release of Dorismond's sealed juvenile record, boom, we have a campaign. For the first time, after months of fragile caution, Hillary Clinton tore into the mayor, who, as is his custom, tore back. The mayor's actions in the past week reinforced for New Yorkers just how well we know him -- in maintaining his barrage on Dorismond's character, Giuliani was not making elaborate political calculations beyond the understanding of others; he was just being himself. By contrast, Mrs. Clinton's verbal grenades showed a side of her we've never seen, more aggressive and direct than she's ever been since she started coming to the state last July. It underscored, her immense fame notwithstanding, how little we know about her -- as a candidate, to be sure, and simply as a person in her own right.
If nothing else, this improbable campaign will see to it that Hillary Clinton's frequently mutating image will receive one more makeover. Whether she's sincere or ambitious, distrustful of people or open to them, are among the questions about her that voters will answer in their own way come November. But what follows should shed some light on them. In her most extensive interview since coming to New York, she talks about her candidacy, her caution, her recent incaution, the press, the health-care failure, Bill's shadow, Trent Lott, archaeology, modern art, the Stanhope, even the Three Stooges and The Flintstones. However you feel about her, you'll find out something here you didn't know.
New York Magazine: What grade would you give yourself so far as a candidate?
"I was told that New York's was the toughest political environment in the country. I think that's right. People offer me their opinions at the drop of a hat, but by and large, I feel very welcome."
Hillary Rodham Clinton: I'd grade myself as Needs Improvement but Making an Effort and Getting Better laughs.
NYM: Okay. I'll put a grade on that, C-plus. Fair?
HRC: I don't think about it that way. It's been a learning experience. You know, I have a lot of sympathy for the vice-president, who, when I watched him start his campaign last spring, I could tell was really having a hard time making the transition. And I didn't realize how hard that would be until I tried to do it myself. To move out of saying we to I -- you know, it took some time to figure out how to do that.
NYM: I was in Rochester, at the hotel, that morning the Village Voice story came out about Giuliani's letter accusing you of "hostility to America's religious traditions." When you walked through those double doors, you were quaking with rage. But then when you started to speak, the rhetoric was very soft and very careful.
HRC: Well, I was outraged. I thought it was a . . . misuse of campaign tactics and rhetoric, and it was insulting to me. But I understood why he did it, and why he will continue to do it --
NYM: Why is that?
HRC: It raises a lot of money. This isn't complicated. That's why he won't release his letters. He doesn't want us to see what else he's saying about me to open the pocketbooks of the far right and the people who respond to Ollie North and Jesse Helms and Richard Viguerie.
But I also believe that it's important when you're in a campaign to always remember that this is not about you. That if you become emotionally angry and say everything that's on your mind about how you feel, you lose a chance to communicate clearly that what you're really going to get up every day worrying about is not what your opponent says about you but what you're going to do for people.
I also believe that it is just more difficult for women candidates to express their strong feelings about things affecting them, as opposed to how I feel about gun control or the deteriorating public schools or stirring up racial hostility, which I can be as angry about and as determined to fix as I possibly can be. But I think you make a mistake if you let any campaign become about you. I know who I am. I know what I believe. I know what I would do in the Senate. And I know what my religious convictions are. There's nothing he can say, after I've calmed down, that will affect who I am.
NYM: Well, let me ask you about the Diallo verdict, and your response to that. Again, I felt it was soft, didn't really take a side, didn't really --
HRC: I did not want in any way to be a part of a reaction that could conceivably have resulted in any kind of disorder or violence. I did not have any official responsibility or job that would enable me to help control anything. And I thought it was very important to be measured and to be thoughtful about what I said. I carry a very heavy responsibility. I'm not the usual Senate candidate laughs, for better or worse. I don't want anything I say or do to feed into the kind of, ah, climate in which people engage in insults.
NYM: Then, last week, after the Dorismond shooting, you really took the gloves off and went after the mayor. What made you do that?
HRC: It was wrong for the mayor to rush to judgment and release Patrick Dorismond's records. It was wrong for him to refuse to reach out, and it was wrong for him to make the situation worse by lashing out and losing control.

Social networking sites now reach 82 percent of the world's Internet population age 15 and older that accessed the Internet from a home or work computer, representing 1.2 billion users around the globe.
- The importance of Facebook cannot be overstated: In October, Facebook reached more than half (55 percent) of the world's global audience and accounted for 1 in every 7 minutes spent online around the world and 3 in every 4 social networking minutes.
- Microblogging has emerged as a disruptive new force in social networking: In recent years, microblogging has taken hold as a popular social networking activity on a global scale. In October, Twitter reached 1 in 10 Internet users worldwide, growing 59 percent in the past year. Other popular microblogging destinations seeing rapid adoption include Chinese site Sina Weibo, with its audience growing 181 percent in the past year to rank as the tenth largest social network in October. Tumblr, which ranked twelfth worldwide in audience size, grew 172 percent in the past year.
- It's not just young people using social networking anymore – it's all age groups: Although young users age 15-24 still represent the most highly-engaged segment of social networkers, with an average of 8 hours per visitor spent in the category in October, social networking is catching on among older age segments across the globe. In fact, people age 55 and older represented the fastest-growing age segment in global social networking usage, with the penetration of social networks in the segment increasing nearly 10 percentage points since July 2010 to 80 percent in October 2011.
- Mobile devices are fueling the social addiction: In the U.S., 64 percent of smartphone users accessed social networking sites at least once in October 2011, with 2 in 5 smartphone owners connecting via social networking nearly every day. In the EU5, 45 percent of smartphone owners accessed social networks on their mobile device during the month, with nearly 1 in 4 doing so on a near daily basis.

Imagine yourself living in a community being asked whether or not it supports a large mine being constructed nearby. What could be concerns if you were an environmentalist? What could be concerns if you were a politician? What could be concerns if you were a shareholder in the mining company? What could be your concerns if you were responsible for running the mining company?
In Stakeholders, players take on the role of mining companies as they address real-world based challenges faced in the mining industry today and in doing so discover mining is about far more than simply digging a resource out of the ground.
We have found students and teachers love Stakeholders, but not everyone has the opportunity to play the game with us on a visit to the Museum. This is why we are offering versions of the game for play at home or in the class.
Recommended for grades 5+
Central to the board game is the stakeholder support card which provides players with a quantitative measure of support from shareholders,
politicians, environmentalists, and local communities. The game play cards present players with a limited number of options for each challenge
along with the support gains and losses attributable to each decision.

The Card Game presents fewer, more detailed challenges to its players. With open ended questions, players are required to develop and defend
their own solutions.
Introduction and game play instructions (pdf)
Recommended for grades 7+
One function of Stakeholders is to expose players to the complexities involved in operating a mine in an easily digestable and engaging format. To achieve this, real issues mines are facing today were identified, researched, and synthesized into the game's scenarios.
Have your students perform the same steps of researching issues facing mining companies today and distilling the issues into game cards. If developing cards for 'The Board Game', have your students use the Extended Game Deck (pdf) as a guide for assigning stakeholder support gains and losses.
Play the game with your student's cards or use them solely as a basis for discussion on the issues.
Submit the scenarios to us for inclusion in future expansion packs for the game. Send your scenarios to firstname.lastname@example.com.


text: KIRKUS REVIEW Ballard has rapidly moved from his early "science fiction" into a label-defying realm where repeated enactments of sex and death appallingly calibrate the dial-faces of our instrument-centered awareness. And this new novel is a further departure, something like the disembodied first half of a typical Ballardian fantasy. Blake, the deranged young narrator, fleeing the shambles of his life, steals an airplane which he doesn't know how to fly, plunges the burning craft into the Thames near the British movie capital of Shepperton (also the setting for parts of Crash), and dies (or does he?) amid hallucinations of apotheosis through the power of sex and flight. The second protagonist of this egomaniac Death and Transfiguration is the town of Shepperton itself, which breaks out of its suburban slumber at Blake's commanding masturbatory fantasies, gradually allowing itself to become a "life engine" filled with his godhead. And meanwhile seven people who witnessed the crash (they clearly embody various demons of Blake's incinerating consciousness) keep crossing his path with subtly altering challenges. This whole schema is brilliantly carried off, with not a wasted syllable or bit of fakery; it also presents a stunning version of the familiar Ballard motif of catastrophe violently fusing the identifies of victim and bystanders. But it is uncharacteristic in two ways: the sustained exploration of a single isolated consciousness and the nearly complete suppression of any observed cultural-technological fabric. And, without his usual moorings, Ballard creates a sense of livid claustrophobia in following the workings of a hypertrophied imagination almost to the point of parody. An audacious book, then, adhering to its chosen purposes with magisterial economy -- but strangely dissatisfying and ungrounded.

This will be a very short post from me because I'm going on a trip tomorrow, well actually today. I was supposed to go to sleep a couple of hours ago but, as usual, packing things took longer than I planned. I realize some time has past since the last post on this blog, but finally I have something new to show you :)
Hopefully I'll draw some new illustrations while I'm travelling, but since I won't be able to take my scanner with me you can follow me on Instagram (@gypsyballadsandy) and I'll post photos of anything I draw there.
As you can see I was a bit shoe obsessed...

Yachting Pages are proud to announce that James Williams, the account manager who represented the superyacht media group at Pinmar Yachting Golf Tournament last week, walked away with the Longest Drive Award.
As James was invited on stage to accept his award he handed over €400 euros to event organisers and explained to the crowd that it was raised by inductee's of the Yachting Pages Lagoon Hall of Shame during the four day event.
Yachting Pages sponsored the lake between holes four and five in the 25th golf tournament in aid of charity. The challenge was then set that for each wayward ball that ended up in the lake, or Yachting Pages lagoon as it is now known, Yachting Pages would donate €5 to the charities that Pinmar choose this year. Eighty players over the four days ended up in the lagoon and the pictures and videos in the Hall of Shame are well worth a look.
The charities are yet to be announced, however last year the tournament managed to raise €72,000 which was shared between a total of 13 different causes.
Photos of the event, and players who end up in the lake, are now featured in the Yachting Pages Lagoon - Hall of Shame 2013.
You can also view the images and videos from the hall of shame on our facebook page:

Old Baguette said:
Do you suppose the author Sax believes his name on the book jacket is a misprint? Do you suppose that he believes he is Sex, not Sax? As for his ideas .... Each one sux.
Sextant said:
I think you are confusing Dr Sex with SEXtant. I am the one preoccupied with sex, not Sax. Sex was a relatively small portion of the book. As far as Sax's ideas sux, I thought he had some very good suggestions. Allowing pre-puberty girls to be girls and not dressed like their ready for a one night stand seemed sensible to me. He tries to impart the idea that modern girls need to develop a strong interior personality independent of celebrity and pressures of Facebook. Don't confuse Sax with my first two sex posts here. He had nothing to do with the articles in the Atlantic, other than being a source for alcohol abuse in Flanagan's article. What Sax seemed to push more than anything else is to allow children to be children like you and I were children and not be pushed by technology and extreme meritocracy into something they are not way ahead of when they are ready for such pressures. I thought his book on boys is very good as well. Again sexual issues are a small part of the books, its Dr. SEXtant whose ideas probably sux. I welcome more comment on this.
An Old Baguette said...
1. The 2010 census will shed light on this issue. Perhaps.
2. Information about how the Atlantic is selling these days will indicate whether or not they feel they must print titillating articles to acquire readers. Perhaps.
3. Comments by teenagers should be informative. Perhaps.
4. An analysis of naiveté should settle matters.
5. Sax is a Doctor Doctor, so he should know what he's talking about. Perhaps.
6. Because so few read books, persons concerned with these issues should browse the web.
These six comments will not knock your sox off. For sure.
So I shall try to address each of these comments although the first point, I am lost.
1. The 2010 census. I am not sure what your point is on this one. So rather than me babbling, Old Baguette, please elucidate.
2. The circulation of The Atlantic is about 400,000 according to Wikipedia. The Atlantic's website shows their circulation steadily climbing to 478,000 up to the year 2000, after which, curiously, no data is given. Wouldn't The Atlantic know what their circulation is? I have been a subscriber since the early 80's and have always enjoyed the magazine, although I must confess that I have seldom read it cover to cover. According to Wikipedia, in 1999 The Atlantic was sold to new management. In 2005, the editorial offices moved from Boston to Washington. My observation is that the magazine is not the magazine of 10 or 15 years ago, and is a far cry from the thick tome that I received 12 months a year in the 1980s. It is now 10 issues per year and still has good articles but they are becoming almost a rarity by comparison to the good old days. Several years ago the magazine chose a glitzy (and thin) format and broadened their interest and included much shorter articles…perhaps both a format and interest to appeal to the younger generation. I don't like the magazine near as much as I used to although I would have to also admit that any publication that would appeal to me is doomed for failure because I am far removed from the moneyed mainstream. In a very unscientific observation, I would estimate that in the 1980s I probably read 24 to 36 articles a year in The Atlantic that made me happy to be a subscriber. I would estimate that number now to be about 5 to 10 a year.
Caitlin Flanagan has been writing The Atlantic book reviews for quite some time. I don't believe that she is a paid employee on staff any longer. I have always enjoyed her articles and much of the reaction which varies from accusations that she is an extreme liberal femni-nazi to an ultra conservative anti-feminist trying to rebuild the patriarchy. She seems to have the ability to piss off a lot of people, which endears her to my heart. Flanagan has a clear eyed practicality that I particularly enjoy. The fact that I like her probably does not ode well for her, not that anyone particularly knows or gives a shit what I think, but rather in the idea that someone that appeals to me is bound to piss off a lot of people. It may also explain the spectrum of bitching about her. Flanagan believes in what Flanagan believes, not what the latest movement in society happens to deliver to her door step. A few years back she wrote a piece on weddings that had me in tears…both in humor and in pity for our society. She also wrote an article several years ago on this oral sex thing that sort of implied that it was a bit blown out of proportion while Oprah was predicting the end of Western civilization. I like her and enjoy her writing. (Sorry Caitlin.)
I have never heard of Natasha Vargas-Cooper prior to reading her article. I enjoy her writing although I find her message to be rather confusing. I think she had point but vastly overstated it. Yet that is the view from a 61 year old geezer who was raised in the Internet-less world of yesteryear, brought up in the patriarchy where Mom ruled the house with an iron fist and there was not going to be any soft core erotica found in her house let alone porn.
3. Comments by teenagers. Don't hold your breath on this one. I have Stat Counter monitoring the hits on the blog, which can tell you some interesting things about who is looking at your blog. Despite claims to other wise I have two readers, one from Minneapolis / St Paul, and a very faithful albeit silent reader which I will say no more than he or (I suspect) she resides in the Atlantic provinces of Canada. Of the 30 to 50 visitors to my blog daily, I have two readers. The rest have been referred in by Google Images, come to look at pictures, and their average visit length is less than 20 seconds. If I deleted all my pictures, I would have 1 to 3 hits a day. (The Old Baguette has a nasty habit of disappearing for a week or two at time always causing me to worry). If I left the blog as it is and simply deleted the St Theresa of Avila post, I would probably have 5 to 10 hits a day. I am not sure why but St. Theresa accounts for about 80% of the traffic on my blog. I should conduct my blog by email and save server space. This thing is waste of time and server space if one considers readership. However, I am extremely grateful to my two readers, two are far better than none. All this to say that I don't believe that we will ever see a comment here by a teenager. I did talk to a young lad fresh out of college at work about all this. He said that he agreed with Sax's observations on boys dropping out of society, although his experience is that they wake up in their mid to late 20s, but he had never heard of the oral sex phenomena. Unfortunately, being at work, we didn't have much time to discuss this. Perhaps I should take the lad out for a beer, except I don't drink and he may not be old enough. My "have a beer" sessions are always allegorical.
4. An analysis of naïveté. The naïveté of whom? Me? How can I analyze my self? You have to do that. Or society?
na•ive•té or na•ïve•té (n v-t , nä -, n - v -t , nä-)From The Free Dictionary.com
1. The state or quality of being inexperienced or unsophisticated, especially in being artless, credulous, or uncritical.
2. An artless, credulous, or uncritical statement or act.
Wikipedia has an article on it as well covering broader usage.
First I believe myself to be extremely naive as to what goes on in popular culture. I watch very little TV and have little contact with the greater world other than people I work with, engineers—not exactly a demographic that is considered to be hot or culturally sophisticated. So indeed I don't know what the hell goes on in the world. It has been my observation in the few movies that I watch, that the moment a relationship has even a minor sour note, members of both genders go looking for other bed partners immediately. Sex with a stranger can alleviate a broken heart? Hearts must be rather flimsy these days.
Or are we talking of the naïveté of society about sex? I think everyone can agree that there is something strange about sex. It effects us a bit differently than most aspects of life. A very simple way of looking at it…in what ways can a human being be a god? I can only think of four ways: a.) create life, b.) take a life, c.) grant forgiveness through grace, and d.) unbidden altruism. I am sure there are more ways but those are the ones that come to my mind. Fortunately most of us are not given to murder, although our fascination for war presents a troublesome wrinkle in that belief. Unbidden altruism can be something as simple as a kind word or holding a door for a stranger, or it can be the unthinking bravery required to run in a burning building to save a life of some one you don't know. The granting of forgiveness through grace may actually be a supremely selfish act. Grudges and hatreds are extremely heavy baggage, and they often only hurt the holder of the grudge. The offender seldom suffers from the grudge. That leaves the creation of life's method and ritual of sex. Sex is in the nature of a trinity: mind, body, and spirit. It is built into us for the need to procreate, yet it goes far beyond the simple need for reproduction. Sex of course is performed by the body for the enjoyment of the mind—the high from brain chemicals that can make sex addictive. Ahhh, but what of the spirit. The Soul? This is where our society is naïve about sex. Advertising and entertainment sells the body to the mind, but Soul is ignored. If you don't believe you have a Soul, then you certainly have no need to sexually satisfy it. So a drunken hook-up or one way oral sex is fine. But if you believe you have a Soul, then you may realize that your Soul has a desire to commune with another Soul and I believe the most efficient vector is loving sexual expression--not screwing but making love--there is a difference. I don't feel that our culture believes for most part that we have a Soul, and quite often those who do believe we have a soul (no I didn't forget to capitalize it) believe that it is something weak and human and easily given to evil and that sex is the high road to despair. I think that much of our popular culture think these spiritual ideas are corny and could get in the way of the profits to be had by pushing lust. Is the sentiment behind the sale of revealing clothes so different than the distribution of porn?
So indeed, I am totally artless by what society and the culture finds important, but on the other hand I think the culture is completely naïve about the Sacred aspects of sex between a long term loving monogamous couple, and may fear the loss of profits to be had by unbridled lust. Why buy a BMW when a Honda is almost as good? The difference in quality certainly does not justify the difference in price. It is plumage, and somebody is making one hell of a buck off of our culture's desire for plumage! If we invested as much interest in our sexual relationships as we as a society invest in plumage, we would be far better off. I have always felt that the world would be a far better place with more love making and less strutting.
5. Indeed Sax is both an MD and some sort of counseling PHD, but that doesn't make him right. I have read plenty by both groups that I thought was un-distilled bullshit. If you read his books, rather than my poorly written interpretations of his books I think you would find much to agree on, although not necessarily agree on everything. Reading books primarily written for parents is not something us old farts want bothered with, so may I suggest browsing his website:
There are some links to magazine articles that he has written that will give you a flavor for his thoughts on child rearing and the importance of recognizing gender differences among children and how they should be handled by parents and education. Again sex is a minor part of his commentary.
6. The Internet. One can prove any conviction by looking on the Internet. Look at me. I am basically full of shit yet here I babble away on the Internet as though I know something. I have chosen to ignore the moral obligation to be knowledgeable about something before one opens his mouth. Unmitigated bullshit. Regard it as entertainment.

It is rather alarming to note that by putting on hats and bandannas the formerly friendly looking Collies become super spooky witches. If you run into creatures like this don't panic - under that disguise is the still faithful Collie - just yell, "Look out, sheep on the loose!" Then point behind them and when they turn to look, quickly walk away in the other direction. They can't enchant you if they can't see you.
On an even more alarming note there seems to be an increasing number of dogs choosing to join the dark side of the force. I'm speaking of wannabe Darth Vader dogs. What's up with that?
I suspect that the canines in question believe that by joining the dark side they will gain mind control over their humans and be able to get all the food and toys they want.
Who knows, given those kinds of treats and toys the mind controllers may give up and go back to taking long naps in the afternoon.
There's another route being tried to separate humans from their food and the best spots on couches and beds.
This is to run into a room looking like something that many humans instinctively move away from. This is a genius plan. Scare a person out of the room, even momentarily, and the disguised dog can score the best food, the still warm spot on the bed, and the last drink in the glass.
First, there is the classic spider move.
Does a regular spider make you jump or startle you a little? Then imagine how you would react if a furry 55 pound spider jogged into the room. Who wouldn't drop their cheeseburger!
Of course, some brave people might decide to grab a rolled up newspaper and swat the giant spider - and rolled up newspapers are to dogs like a bucket of water is to a wicked witch - so even more clever dogs have come up with an even more devious disguise to scare people from a room...Monsters!
Don't be fooled by the press they've put out there; dogs are not always people's best friends. Sometimes they are our competitors trying to take control of our homes, eat our choicest food, and probably plotting to gain control of the remote control for the television.
Really, you dare not let your guard down.
Listen to the cats...dogs may not be as trustworthy as they would have us believe.
