From publisher blurb:
Under a sky of blue, lies our vibrant world, where life blossoms in the green spring, or lays in repose in red autumn. But beneath the green, beneath the red, lies the cold, hard ground. Here the roots of things cut the earth, devouring what it holds. Small creatures dig and burrow and worms grow fat on the still dirt. Deeper still lie subterranean worlds, caves, where rock crawls upon spirals of time, creeping from pools of quiet that lap the shores of darkness. And beyond the darkness, beyond all sense, lies a gulf of empty fear, where our demons lurk.
Born with twisted thought, tainted with stains of malice, these are creatures unkempt. Foul of sight and smell, sunk in the darkness of the time's caverns, the dwell in an abyss, in hell, in the Wretched Plaines of shadow and loss. These are the demons. These are the devils.
Kim Hartsfield, author of the wildly popular, Classic Monsters, returns to bring us Tome of the Unclean. Revisiting those demons and devils of the earlier publications you'll find the Demogorgan, Asmodeous, Amon, Mammoth and more in this, the next volume of monsters for your Castles & Crusades game!

Cisco IOS Voice Troubleshooting and Monitoring -- FXO Interfaces
From DocWiki
An FXO interface is used for trunk, or tie line, connections to a PSTN CO or to a PBX that does not support E&M signaling (when local telecommunications authority permits). This interface is of value for off-premises station applications. Figure: FXS and FXO Signaling Interfaces shows an FXS connection to a telephone and an FXO connection to the PSTN at the far side of a WAN.
Figure: FXS and FXO Signaling Interfaces
FXO Hardware Troubleshooting
An FXO interface is used for trunk connections. Troubleshoot FXO hardware by checking the following sections:
Software Compatibility
To ensure that your card is compatible with your software, check the following:
- For network modules inserted into Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, and Cisco 3700 series routers, refer to Overview of Cisco Network Modules for Cisco Access Routers.
- For interface cards inserted into Cisco 1600 series, Cisco 1700 series, Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, Cisco 3700 series, and Cisco ICS 7750 platforms, refer to Voice Interface Cards.
Two types of cabling are supported for Cisco FXO interfaces. They are described in the following sections:
|For FXO connections, use a 2-wire (RJ-11) cable. A 4-wire cable can cause the second port to busy out.
RJ-11 Connectors
The two-port and four-port FXO interface cards support the RJ-11 connector. Illustrations of the connector ports are shown in Figure: Two-Port FXO Card Front Panel and Figure: Four-Port FXO Card Front Panel. Information about LEDs can be found in the "Connecting Voice Interface Cards to a Network" chapter of the Cisco Interface Card Hardware Installation Guide.
Figure: Two-Port FXO Card Front Panel
Figure: Four-Port FXO Card Front Panel
RJ-21 Connectors on the High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module
The High-Density Analog Telephony network module supports an RJ-21 connector. This network module supports both FXS and FXO traffic. An illustration of the connector port is shown in Figure: High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module. Information about LEDs and pinouts can be found in the "Connecting High-Density Analog Telephony Network Modules to a Network" chapter of the Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide.
Figure: High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module
Shutdown Port
If the port is not working, be sure the port is not shut down. Enter the show voice port command with the voice port number that you are troubleshooting. The output will tell you:
- If the voice port is up. If it is not, use the no shutdown command to make it active.
- What parameter values have been set for the voice port, including default values (these values do not appear in the output from the 'show running-config' command). If these values do not match those of the telephony connection you are making, reconfigure the voice port.
Disabling a Port on a Multiple Port Card
If you shut down a port on a multiple-port card, you can disable all of the ports on that card. If only one port is bad and the others are working, in many cases you can disable the bad port and use the working ports until a replacement arrives. To disable a bad port, use one of the following methods:
- On a Cisco universal gateway, such as the Cisco AS5350, Cisco AS5400, Cisco AS5800, and Cisco AS5850, busy out the port using the busyout command. This allows the port to be taken out of service without disrupting the Cisco IOS configuration. Refer to the product documentation for details:
- For Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 universal gateways, refer to the Managing and Troubleshooting the Universal Port Card document.
- For Cisco AS5800 access servers, refer to Managing and Troubleshooting NextPort Services on the AS5800.
- For Cisco AS5850 universal gateways, refer to Managing Port Services on the Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway.
- On other Cisco gateways, remove the port from the dial peer. Refer to Dial Peer Configuration on Voice Gateway Routers to configure the dial peer.
FXO Disconnect Failure
When loop-starting signaling is used, an FXO interface looks like a phone to the switch that it is connecting to. The FXO interface closes the loop to indicate off hook. The switch always provides a battery so there is no disconnect supervision from the switch side. Because a switch expects a phone user or modem to hang up the phone when the call is terminated on either side, it also expects the FXO port on the router to hang up. However, the FXO port expects the switch to tell it when to hang up. Because the port relies on the switch, there is no guarantee that a near- or far-end FXO port will disconnect the call once either end of the call has hung up.
The most common symptoms of this problem are phones that continue to ring when the caller has cleared, or FXO ports that remain busy after the previous call should have been cleared.
To troubleshoot this problem, refer to Understanding FXO Disconnect Problem, document ID 8120.
Troubleshooting FXO Answer and Disconnect Supervision
This section describes troubleshooting the FXO Answer and Disconnect Supervision feature for analog FXO voice ports. This feature applies to analog FXO voice ports with loop-start signaling connected to PSTNs, PBXs, or key systems.
The FXO Answer and Disconnect Supervision feature enables analog FXO ports to monitor call-progress tones and to monitor voice and fax transmissions returned from a PBX or from the PSTN.
Answer supervision can be accomplished in two ways: by detecting battery reversal, or by detecting voice, fax, or modem tones. If an FXO voice port is connected to the PSTN and battery reversal is supported, use the battery reversal method. Voice ports that do not support battery reversal must use the answer supervision method, in which answer supervision is triggered when the DSP detects voice, modem, or fax transmissions. Configuring answer supervision automatically enables disconnect supervision; however, you can configure disconnect supervision separately if answer supervision is not configured.
Disconnect supervision can be configured to detect call-progress tones sent by the PBX or PSTN (for example, busy, reorder, out-of-service, number-unavailable), or to detect any tone received (for example, busy tone or dial tone). When an incoming call ends, the DSP detects the associated call-progress tone, causing the analog FXO voice port to go on-hook.
This section provides solutions to problems that you might encounter when implementing the FXO Answer and Disconnect Supervision feature.
Typical problems with the answer supervision feature are as follows:
- Call-progress tones such as ringback are not heard by the calling party.
- If any call legs have IVR configured, ensure that the IVR version is 2.0.
- Ringback timer is not initiated or ringback is not detected.
- The wrong call-progress tone (cptone) command is configured on the voice port.
- The wrong DTMF detection parameters are configured.
- Custom call-progress tones are assigned to the voice port but ringback tone has not been configured; in this case, the default behavior is not to detect any ringback tones.
- Answer supervision is not triggered.
- Answer supervision-either by battery-reversal detection or by call-progress tone detection-is not configured on the voice-port in use.
- Excessive delay before answer supervision is activated.
- The level on the sensitivity parameter in the supervisory answer dualtone command is set too low. Configure the sensitivity for high.
If incorrect disconnect cause codes are reported, check the following:
- The values configured for custom call-progress tones could be incorrect.
- Overlapping detection frequencies might have been incorrectly specified in the voice class created by the voice class dualtone-detect-params command. For example if the freq-max-deviation parameter is configured to be 20 Hz, and the busy and reorder parameters are set for frequencies 350 and 370 respectively, the voice port cannot detect the reorder tone, resulting in an incorrect disconnect cause code.
If calls are not billed correctly, it might be that answer supervision is not being triggered. For answer supervision to be triggered, voice, fax, or data tones originating at the called-party end must be detected.
To configure the FXO Supervisory Disconnect Tone, refer to the Voice Port Configuration document.
Monitoring and Maintaining FXO Answer and Disconnect Supervision
To monitor the status of the FXO Answer and Disconnect Supervision feature, use the show voice port command, which causes the FXO voice port to be monitored. The following table illustrates the use of the show voice port command for monitoring voice port 1/1/0.
Router# show voice port 1/1/0
Shows a detailed status of the voice port. Under the heading "Voice card specific Info Follows:", the status of the FXO Answer and Disconnect Supervision feature is indicated by one of the following messages: "Answer Supervision is active" or "Answer Supervision is inactive".
Unbreakable Dial Tone
A common problem encountered in a VoIP network is being unable to break dial tone. The router puts a seizure on the local PBX but when digits are dialed, the dial tone stays. The calling party is unable to pass the DTMF tones or digits to the terminating device, resulting in callers being unable to dial the desired extension or interact with the device that needs DTMF tones, such as a voice mail or IVR application. Here are some possible causes of the problem:
- DTMF tones not being sent.
- DTMF tones not being understood.
- DTMF tones too distorted to be understood.
- Other signaling and cabling issues.
Make sure the dial type is set as DTMF on both the router and the PBX. The FXS port does not pass on the digits, therefore this setting is not available on an FXS port. However, this setting can be changed on FXO and E&M ports:
Router(config-voiceport)# dial-type ? dtmf touch-tone dialer mf mf-tone dialer pulse pulse dialer
For more information, refer to Inability To Break Dialtone in a Voice over IP Network, document ID 22376.
Troubleshooting Caller ID Problems
Several debugs can be used to troubleshoot the Caller ID feature on the routers. The voice port module (VPM) signaling debugs, such as the debug vpm signal command, track the standard debugs with Caller ID feature turned on. These debugs are analyzed from the perspective of the terminating router and its FXO port; the caller ID is sent from this end. The following example shows an FXO port receiving caller ID. In this example, the phone sends the caller ID to the FXO port.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - MIT women's soccer closed its regular season with a win against Smith on Saturday afternoon when sophomore Ashley Peter (Manhasset, N.Y.) scored the lone goal of the game in the second half. The Engineers, who are tied with Springfield with a conference record of 8-1, shared the regular season title, marking the first time that the team has done so.
In the first half, even though the score remained at 0-0 for the entire 45 minutes, MIT made valiant effort at making a goal. Senior Leslie Meyer (Brownsburg, Ind.) took two shots within a few minutes of each other, both of which needed to be saved by keeper Cody Norris. Later on in the period, a shot by freshman Jennifer Ibanez (West Windsor, N.J.) also had to be saved. The Engineers outshot the Pioneers, 7-0, leaving senior goalie Meghan Wright (Devon, Pa.) with little action for the first part of the game.
The second period went much like the previous half: in the first 20 minutes of the half, the Cardinal and Gray outshot Smith, 9-1, five of which were saved by Norris. In the 75th minute, Peter shot a ball at the net that Norris was not able to save, scoring the game-winning goal and giving MIT a lead of 1-0. In the last 15 minutes of the game, the Engineers took four shots, two of them by junior Samantha Fleischmann (Eastchester, N.Y.) and sophomore Ambika Krishnamachar (Darien, Conn.) being saved by Norris. The game ended with an MIT victory, 1-0.
MIT, who will receive a bye into the semifinals of the NEWMAC championship, will next play either Wheaton or Wellesley on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 1:30 p.m. at Springfield.

'The Crimson Kimono' (1959)
Directed by - Samuel Fuller
Writing credits - Samuel Fuller
Director, producer and writer Samuel Fuller photographs the streets of downtown L.A. stunningly in "The Crimson Kimono," a film that's part mystery, part love triangle and part travelogue. We get to see the downtown exteriors, particularly Little Tokyo as it looked in 1959, with a gleaming City Hall in the background. The City Hall tower is a crucial visual marker in a metropolis whose skyline has few recognizable buildings. It instantly orients the observer, and in "The Crimson Kimono" it serves as a looming symbol of justice watching over the city's mean streets.
He started his career as a teenaged crime reporter for New York tabloid newspapers, and it shows in his films. Fuller had a gift for exploiting the tawdry and the sensational. "Crimson Kimono"'s plot involves the search to find out who murdered stripper Sugar Torch, and the characters include the denizens of the urban demimonde plus a number of eccentrics thrown in for good measure -- the story takes place in L.A., a city routinely portrayed in crime fiction and movies as kooks central. As the manhunt for the killer proceeds, the two detectives, who happen to be buddies and roommates as well, fall in love with the same woman, and the resulting turmoil is the backdrop to the central murder mystery.
Damon Runyon-speak, such as the street-lingo mash-up Ziggy lays on Det. Sgt. Charlie Bancroft" (Glenn Corbett): "I'm sweatin' behind the eyeballs cause I don't want no goofball pushin', or no one fingerin' for ya."
Ziggy plays a small role in the story, but is worth mentioning because much of the rest of the cast, especially Corbett and his buddy, Det. Joe Kojaku (James Shigeta) don't have the same air of authenticity about them as does street canary Ziggy. They come across as much too square to be uttering the words that come out of their mouths. Kojaku observes, "Charlie figured bird-doggin' wouldn't appeal to you," and Bancroft admits, "You know, I knocked around an awful lot," and, "Somethin's eatin' him the way he clammed up." These two ivy league-looking dudes are almost painful to watch when they spout these howlers. Granted, the kind of stylized Runyonesque dialogue Fuller was going for probably never came out of anyone's mouth at anytime in real life. But a grittier cast would have turned up the believability quotient a few notches.
Fuller knew how to open a movie with a healthy dose of hoopla, and his aerial view of L.A. at night and the roaring Gene Krupa-like orchestration behind the soaring camera work perfectly sets the scene. As we view the city from a bat's-eye perspective, the title card tells us it's LOS ANGELES, in case there was doubt.
The greatness behind "The Crimson Kimono" is it's ability to turn L.A. into a character in the story, not just a location, and at that Fuller excels.

James' focus on works is frequently cited as a contradiction to other messages in the Bible. On the one hand, it appears James is saying that salvation is achieved by works; on the other, writers such as Paul emphasize that salvation comes by faith alone, not works of the law (Galatians 2).
Look carefully and you'll see that Paul and James are talking about different issues. Paul is in the middle of a debate with Jewish Christians over whether Gentiles must live like Jews to enter the family of faith. He says that no one is made right with God by performing the works of the law. Instead, all people are made right by faith, thanks to God's grace. For James the situation is entirely different. The works he is talking about refer to God's people helping the poor, not whether non-Jews must live like Jews. He's concerned about a shallow, insincere, and hypocritical faith.
Paul describes the root of salvation; a person is saved by God's grace received through faith. James is explaining the fruit of salvation; saving faith is a faith that works.
14 Brothers and sisters, it doesn't make any sense to say you have faith and act in a way that denies that faith. Mere talk never gets you very far, and a commitment to Jesus only in words will not save you. 15 It would be like seeing a brother or sister without any clothes out in the cold and begging for food, and 16 saying, "Shalom, friend, you should get inside where it's warm and eat something," but doing nothing about his needs—leaving him cold and alone on the street. What good would your words alone do? 17 The same is true with faith. Without actions, faith is useless. By itself, it's as good as dead. 18 I know what you're thinking: "OK, you have faith. And I have actions. Now let's see your faith without works, and I'll show you a faith that works."
Don't you realize that faith without works is useless, like a glove without a hand or a hat without a head?
19 Do you think that just believing there's one God is going to get you anywhere? The demons believe that, too, and it terrifies them! 20 The fact is, faith has to show itself through works performed in faith. If you don't recognize that, then you're an empty soul.

Pretty sure this is meant for a "never give up" poster — like, "Keep Trekking Even If the Leaf You're Carrying Is Bigger Than You Are and You Are a Puppy." Or something??
Look at that puppy! Look at that leaf! If looking at that puppy carrying that leaf isn't living, I don't know what is. This picture is all I, or anyone else, needs to get through the rest of the day. Congrats team, we made it!

PETRA ECCLESTONE I'm Not Spoiled...I'M PRIVILEGED
Petra Ecclestone -- I'm Not Spoiled, I'm Privileged
22-year-old BILLION-heiress Petra Ecclestone -- the chick who just bought Candy Spelling's mansion for $85 MILLION -- says she's NOT spoiled ... she's privileged -- and there's a HUGE difference.
Ecclestone spoke with "Good Morning America" -- and explained why she decided to purchase the home ... saying, "It was a great investment, and I got a really good deal and it was, like, prime real estate."
When asked why she didn't use the money to pay for affordable homes for 1000's of families -- she replied, "I help as much as I can, but at the end of the day ... however much the house has costed, that's not going to kind of I dunno ... like change the world I don't think."
Petra -- daughter of a Formula 1 racing tycoon -- added, "I'm not going to not live in a certain way ... just because there are people less fortunate than I am."
Does Petra have a point?

Shai Revzen and his team of researchers at the Modular Robotics Laboratory of University of Pennsylvania (MODLAB) have created the Swiss Army knife of robots: a rolling Foambot that synthesizes new foam-bodied robots on-the-fly to meet challenges from a changing environment. It's no T1000, but still a little terrifying.
Contrary to the glamorous functionality which the media has portrayed robots as having, like C-3P0 or Adams' Marvin or Johnny 5, real-life robots are typically designed to do a specific task. That's fine unless your robot is being thrust into environments, such as disaster recovery or planetary exploration, where the demands require design adaptability for unanticipated tasks.
That's how the MODLAB team is pitching their idea. Adaptable, as well as cheap. They use something called foam synthesis. The Foambot, a small moving platform constructed for the Mini-PR2 robot, packs off-the-shelf insulation foam and clusters of actuators and microcontrollers (robot joints).
The clusters consist of a row of three CKBots, and attached to either end of the clusters are 5cm bolts. The operator directs the Foambot to deploy the clusters, moving the modules in the right spots for the desired robot design. Then using a laser pointer guided foam nozzle, it sprays the self-hardening foam to connect the clusters and create joints and a body.
So far the MODLAB team has used Foambot to make a foam wormbot and a quadruped which may be modeled after a katydid. Once the progeny is assembled and the foam is dry, the wheeled robot uses onboard software to make its creation dance.
The team points out that the Foambot itself can be used to dispose of hazardous material like broken glass or needles. The foam can also be used in practical ways during fire-fighting or hostage rescue situations.

DOTHAN, Ala. (Mar. 7, 2007) - The Lady Bucs start a new season on Thursday night as they try to become the first team in ETSU history to win a conference tournament championship and earn its first bid to the NCAA Tournament, when they take on Lipscomb in the quarterfinals of the A-Sun Tournament. Tip is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST inside the Dothan Civic Center.
ETSU finished the regular season with a four-game winning streak, and earned the third seed in the tournament for the second straight year after finishing the season 18-10, 14-4. The Lady Bucs put together back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1999-2000, and will look to avenge last year's heartbreaking opening round overtime loss to Mercer (59-56) in Dothan. An A-Sun Championship will also give ETSU 21 wins, tying them with head coach Karen Kemp's 1994-95 squad for the most wins in school history. Ironically, DeShawne Blocker can join the elite club both as a player and coach. Blocker was a key part of the success during the1994-95 club and is now an assistant this season.
Lipscomb received the sixth seed after dropping its final six games to finish the regular season 8-20, 6-12. The Lady Bisons did not make the conference tournament a year ago and will be making their first appearance since being ousted by Georgia State in the first round during the 2005 tournament. Catie Woods leads the team in scoring by averaging 10.9 points per game, while Penny Jones does the job on the boards, grabbing 6.2 an evening.
The teams split the season series this year with each of them winning on its home court. ETSU won the first game back on Jan. 4, as they knocked off Lipscomb, 71-51; however, the Lady Bisons got revenge almost a month later by upsetting the Lady Bucs, 57-52 inside Allen Arena. The Lady Bucs lead the young series, 3-1, and have forced Lipscomb to turn the ball over 116 times (29 per game) in the four meetings.
Fans not able to make the trip to Dothan will be able follow all the action of the tournament live via video stream by clicking on the link above. Twenty-four hour access can be purchased for $4.99 by visiting http://etsustream.intellithought.net/.

In a sense, Benjamin Britten was a composer three times over: the genius who wrote the notes, the pianist who played as only a composer can play, aware of the music's structure and conjuring up the sound of the orchestra, and the conductor making music sound as though the ink were still dry. From the young man's hair-breadth daring brilliance through all the operas, songs of all kinds and instrumental pieces through to the last delicate look backs in tenderness. He could make magic at the keyboard in such a way as to cause Gerald Moore declare that he was the best accompanist there was. His playing at those operatic programmes where his Verdi was so compelling or the time when he played the opening bar's eight repeated chord of C minor of Fauré's Elégie before Fournier entered made one hold one's breath in sheer wonder. As a conductor he could raise a storm in The Hebrides that was shatteringly dramatic whilst his Mozart G minor Symphony was tragic in the extreme (with all possible repeats it took nearly three-quarters of an hour – heavenly length).
Ben was a competitive chap: he wanted to be the best, he was modest in a way but sought to be the best. Generally, he was the best, even running the Aldeburgh Festival (how many other administrators could read a balance sheet as well as an orchestral score?) He was a good driver of fast cars (a sparky Jensen previous to a more sedate Rolls), he played tennis well with a vicious swerving serve that could only be received in the netting, he played croquet and even Happy Families (although Shostakovich won on his Christmas visit to Aldeburgh – I think Ben must have allowed his guest to win). On the other hand Ben admired people who did things as well as himself, in different fields mind you, as witness his duets with Richter or Rostropovich, Vishnievskaya. There has never in musical history been a love-match that produced so much music as Ben wrote for Peter Pears, at least eight song cycles and ten operas – from Grimes in 1945 to Death in Venice in 1973. The preponderance of subject matter relating to the corruption of innocence and sympathy for the oppressed must have had a lot to do with Ben's own experience, mainly because he was a homosexual. It may have been that he was always looking back to his childhood years.
Britten believed his task was to write music for the living, to be useful to his fellow beings. Like Mozart, most of his music was composed with certain voices or instrumentalist in mind. he tailored the notes for the singers, for example, knowing which were the best ones wide, intervals or narrow, which parts of the voice 'spoke' best, was the singer better at quick music or slow; all the individually of the original singer is so much encapsulated in music that it amounts almost to a portrait of their particular voice. The music composed especially for Fischer Dieskau, Vyvyan, Baker, Mandikian, Vishnievskaya, Ferrier and Pears above all, still sounds like those singers even when others perform it. Britten also knew exactly how any instrumentalist was going to produce any note he wrote for him or her; which finger, methods of bowing, blowing, striking, pedalling, which string; you ignore his written indications at your peril. (By the way, none of this means that it is easy to perform: it is always possible though). Did he ever make a boo-boo in his orchestration? Just once, and he joked about it, it was so rare: he wrote a low note for the piccolo in Billy Budd which is off the instrument's range.
Ben had charisma. He had the manner of a diffident prep school master, (clothes to match – a sports coat, grey bags à l'anglaise), speaking voice beguiling which the microphone distorted, it came out a bit like Prince Charles. He could charm you if he wanted something or liked you; but the charm would switch off if he didn't, or thought you might be hostile. There is too large a list of favourites who suddenly found that they were what he himself called 'corpses'. They were perhaps sacrifices to his career. But that was a dark side to his character.
There were a couple of years when Ben would not work with the London Symphony because one day a couple of double-basses laughed at a newspaper joke while they had nothing to play for a few seconds. He thought they were laughing at him.
His conducting was serious and penetrating; the heart and soul of the music was revealed.
It was curious about Peter's voice. With the consummation of their affair in the States, it changed, no longer that of a typical English choir tenor but, as some old friends pointed out, uncannily like the singing voice of Ben's mother. (Any comment, Dr. Freud?)
Perhaps Ben had one skin less than most of us. That might account for his sensitivity, his touchiness, maybe his genius.
Is the best of his music inspired by words? Not only are they impeccably set but they are set with an imagination that enhances and re-creates the original writer's spirit, style and imagery. He often chose words that you would think impossible to put to music or that would be destroyed in the setting. The only love duet, man and woman, occurs in The Prince of the Pagodas – wordless of course.
It was said that he turned down a knighthood but he was later awarded the Order of Merit and the first peerage ever awarded to a musician. He was happy to chum up with the Royals but that may have helped him to sleep nights in a country where, for most of his life, homosexuality was a criminal offence.
What a blessing it was to have lived at a time when it was possible to hear Britten play, conduct and produce a steady stream of wonderful new music!

Liberty News
Author Lee Strobel speaks at convocation
Lee Strobel, a leading apologist and bestselling author of 20 books, including the popular "The Case for Christ," talked to Liberty University students about the "unexpected adventure" of a Christian at Monday's convocation service in the Vines Center.
Strobel's "unexpected adventure" is about performing evangelism on a personal level and taking advantage of the everyday opportunities to witness.
"You never know what's going to happen … on what starts to be an average, routine day how God might bring an opportunity in your life to have an eternal impact on another human being," he said.
Strobel, who was an atheist until (as a journalist) he investigated the evidence for Christ, was convinced and surrendered his life to Him. He told stories about some of his chance encounters as a Christian that ended up being evangelism opportunities. He outlined three things that, "If Jesus physically lived in my house, what he would do" to engage in an "unexpected adventure." They included: 1) prayer for our neighbors, 2) letting everybody know the door is open for questions and being able to dialog with non-believers and defend our faith and 3) being authentic in the way we relate to others, with our actions backing up our words.
With a voice full of emotion, he ended his talk by reading a poem written by a 24-year-old woman who accepted Christ after being invited to a discussion group for non-believers at his church. The poem began with: "Do you understand that you represent Jesus to me? Do you know, do you understand that when you treat me with gentleness, that it raises the question in my mind that maybe He is gentle too?"
Strobel told LU students that the girl "is probably no different than the people who live in your neighborhood, the people who you're going to encounter in the workplace as you go out from Liberty University." He challenged them to take full advantage of everyday opportunities to witness.
Strobel's talk at Liberty is part of his newest project, a book titled "The Unexpected Adventure" that he plans to release in February 2009.
Strobel arrived at Liberty fresh off a national book tour for "The Case for a Real Jesus," released in September 2007.
"My new book, "The Case for the Real Jesus," is what I'm most excited about because it answers the kind of questions a lot of students will hear or read about on the Internet or get from their friends," he said. "Like you hear 'Christians have just borrowed all this stuff about Jesus from ancient mythology' … What bologna — but where's the evidence? So I interviewed a leading historian … and he just absolutely devastates that argument. So I try to deal with the issues that are currently circulating in popular culture."
For this book, he traveled 24,000 miles to interview experts and scholars on "the biggest objections to Christianity that are being raised by atheists and on Web sites and so forth."
One of those scholars was Liberty graduate Mike Licona, who was interviewed about current objections to the resurrection and about Islam's views on the subject. (Licona co-authored a book with LU professor Dr. Gary Habermas called "The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus.")
Strobel had been to LU once before, in 1997 when he interviewed Habermas for "The Case for Christ."
Strobel's interviewing skills made him a leading journalist at the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers for 14 years, even earning him Illinois' top honors for investigative reporting (which he shared with a team he led). But his best investigative work, as he sees it, is his own investigation into the evidence for Christ when he was a professed atheist.
Strobel, who holds a law degree from Yale, studied the evidence for two years and in 1981 received Christ and entered the ministry, joining the staff of Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Ill., and later becoming a teaching pastor at Rick Warren's Saddleback Valley Community Church in Lake Forest, Calif. For two seasons, Lee was executive producer and host of the weekly national network TV show "Faith Under Fire." He is currently writing full time in Southern California.

RG, I presented your predicament to some of my BBFFs at they sanctuary, and they assured me that the word was "still." Apparently, a human photographer asking if he or she is in trouble "again" is like asking if he or she is alive "again." Tough little critters, aren't they?

- Auntie Jane (It is official!) said...
Hmmmmm, RG, I was also just told that "critters" is a low brow word. It evolved from the original "critic." Historically, sound shifts occur when a word is used often by all ages of a population. Our ancestors when first encountering sentient life, would have correctly said, "They are tough critics." From there it was just the expected trajectory of change.

All I said was that in the regular season, Satan will be far more valuable than Hossa was because they will in fact have him for an entire season. Its so incredibly simple that I don't understand how you can't wrap your head around it.
I was confused reading the exchange between the two of you because I thought that was your point but his responses had nothing to do with it and I began to wonder if I was losing my mind. :shock:
I really thought I was too. I found myself reading what I was saying over and over again but it kept looking the same to me. I'm glad someone confirmed that it came across the way I intended for it to come across.

Monday Morning: First Day of Work!
Posted January 31, 2011on:
- In: Bio-Children | Celiac | Gluten Free | Summer Camp
- Leave a Comment
I headed to the office on the first Day after diagnosis. Generally, I'm running out the door with an Atkins bar and cup of coffee or a diet Dr. Pepper.
I promised myself: I will be prepared. I will bring my breakfast and lunch!
After dinner on Sunday night, I prep for the next day, have menu and everything is ready to go. Girls were in the bed early, but son got home late from his ski trip.
Little did I know, thanks to my best friends, I got sucked into a marathon! I don't know if it was actual insomnia, or a "Thank you Jennifer, Kathy and "Prairie *itch". I liked Little House on the Prairie when I was little, now I LOVE IT, thanks to Jennifer and Kathy referring the Biography by Nellie. I was up until 5am watching hour after hour of sappy, cry and everything ends up ok episodes from 1980-1981.
The girls were up 5:30, but hubby let me get another hour of sleep and he took the girls to early AM reading class at their school and I got to stay home and get the boy up and ready for school.
At 7:15, I'm running out the door loaded down with: laptop, blackberry, reader, purse and huge plastic bag of food. I get half way down the steps and realized; I have not had any meds today. Tossed everything into the front seat, started the car, ran back inside, grabbed all my meds and a drink. Back in the car, I head to the 27 mile commute to my office.
Whew that was easy, but I knew my first temptation was coming up. Pavlovs law, at mile marker 60, my stomach starts to growl as I pass Burger King, I stand firm, but by exit 56, I take the exit and my car tries to turn into Dunkin Donut, but once again. I stand firm.
Pull into to the office and drag all the items in and fix breakfast, to eat as I go over my emails from missing Thursday and Friday because of the party with the doctors and surgury center.
YUMMY: Ice cold Lowfat Vanilla yogurt, frozen pineapple and sprinkled with Roasted Soy Nuts.
Today is going to be a great, I got it under control.
30 minutes after breakfast, I get a call reminding me I had a lunch meeting which was scheduled while out on Friday. "See you at the Siam Café", was the cheerful person on the phone.
This is my favorite place to eat. I love the eggrolls, curry, soy noodles, and fried bananas. I have to go for business. I can't mess up after 2 days.
11:30 came a lot quicker than I thought. My lunch date was already there, as my team and I arrive. BUT I found things to eat. I have eaten at this place at least once a week or more for the last 3 years. I asked a few questions and I got food! Not what I would have loved to eat, but I got to eat without trouble.
Lunch: Steam rice, just right to eat with chop sticks and fresh spring rolls. Did not have the peanut sauce, sweet and sour sauce or the soy, but it was still good. Spring roll: inside: cabbage, carrots, basil, soy bean, rice noodles and shrimp, wrapped in tapioca wrap.
Then back to the office to more paperwork and another meeting.
My brain must have been completely in a cloud. I promised my girls I would volunteer at their summer camp and tonight is the meeting to set the group, see which age group the director will place me. This is the theme is "Forever Green". Meeting starts at 6:30, will not be able to make it home, before the meeting, so Micky D's for snack!
Snack: Diced apples and McDonald fries.
I'm listed as a Unit Assistant Leader, I get to help and not do a lot of planning. They did not give me either of my girls' group, so I get to be mom to them and not a leader. At the moment, I am the leader for of their Girl Scout Troops.
Dinner: Hubby roasted a naked chicken and I make Chicken Grits w/flax, served with fruit.
I made it through a work day. Today has made me feel good. I am proud of myself on being able to adapt and I was able to be Gluten Free outside my home.
Tomorrow, will be better because:
1 "Little House on the Prairie" is not on
2: I'm dozing as I write this
3: I found I have the support and understanding of my team
4: I have made it through Day 1, Day 2 will be better

Dec. 4, 2007: I step out of the zodiac and walk toward the tiny white-fenced cemetery nestled on the hillside. A glacier fed stream tumbles down beside the rows of white markers. Snow capped mountains tower around the abandoned whaling station that lies at the end of the sheltered cove. I stand silently taking in the scene.
My reverie is soon replaced by heart-thumping fear as aggressive fur seals snort and charge toward me, ready to defend their territory along the beach.
I move quickly through the grassy tussocks and gratefully enter the sanctuary of the cemetery. I make my way to the largest monument and almost know the words engraved there before I read them:
"To the dear Memory of Ernest Henry Shackleton, Explorer
Born 15th Feb. 1874
Entered Life Eternal
5th. Jan. 1922"
It is fitting that Sir Ernest Shackleton's final resting place is here in the sub-antarctic island of South Georgia, since this is where he landed in 1916 after travelling 1,300 kms in a small vessel, the James Caird, to initiate the rescue of his men stranded on Elephant Island.
I notice that his grave is facing the south that he loved while all others are facing the more traditional east. Shackleton remains one of the greatest heroes in the age of polar exploration and I feel honoured to be standing at this site.
I am on the first leg of a five-week semi-circumnavigation of the Far Side of Antarctica: the side less travelled. I am aboard the same Russian icebreaker on which I had travelled along the other side of the continent three years ago. With this expedition I will complete my odyssey around the frozen world of Antarctica.
South Georgia is a mountainous, crescent-shaped island that is as stunningly beautiful as it is remote. It lies a distant 2,000 kms east of the southern tip of South America and is a mere 170 kms long.
Captain Cook was the first to set foot on South Georgia in 1775 and his reports of the abundant wildlife brought sealers here first, and then the whalers, each in turn decimating the animal population.
While South Georgia lies above 60 degrees south and is not technically a part of Antarctica, it is within the Southern Ocean and its climate is highly influenced by the nutrient-rich cold currents that sweep up from the frozen continent.
South Georgia's weather can be violently inhospitable, but we are fortunate that our time here is picture perfect.
Every day we are able to make several zodiac landings to meet the main feature of South Georgia: the brilliantly colourful king penguins.
As we reach the shore, penguins hop in and out of the water, oblivious to us: strange intruders in yellow jackets.
At times, as we wade through ankle deep mire and muck, it is a challenge to find a path that will stay clear of the territorial and aggressive fur seals that crowd the beaches and shores.
Other landings are not as perilous and we wander amidst the larger but calmer elephant seals and take endless photos of still more penguins, birds and even the odd herd of reindeer that has been introduced and now thrives here in the southern hemisphere.
While some expedition ships visit South Georgia, almost none ever reaches our next destination: the South Sandwich Islands. Here we are fortunate again with relatively navigable seas and blue skies. We are able to make several landings to mingle with the million or so smaller chinstrap penguins on Candlemas Island and later we make a quick and somewhat perilous landing on Zavadovski Island where fewer people have walked than have landed on the moon.
Antarctica is a land of superlatives. Here the sea is more intensely blue, and the meringue-like ice is a purer white than camera can capture. We travel in a place that is remote and isolated. We are alone in a majestic land.
In the austral summer we experience no darkness for weeks; the sunsets and sunrises blend together in a palette of soft colour that goes on for hours. Some nights I stand on the flying bridge, 11 storeys up, snapping far too many photos, trying vainly to capture of the changing colours of the sky reflected in the icy water. I go inside only to thaw my fingers. Sleep is not a priority.
Shore excursions now are only possible using the two helicopters that are on board the icebreaker. We soar over vast seas of fast ice to land at emperor penguin colonies and experience the solitude of walking in a world that is completely made of glistening white ice. We are welcomed heartily at two Australian research stations, Mawson and Davis. We are the first guests at Davis in 18 months.
On the long journey across the Indian Ocean to our final destination in Fremantle, Australia, I am filled with nostalgia as I realize that this odyssey that really began three years ago is coming to a close. It seems too soon.
After almost 40 days on the ship we have travelled 17,000 kms and through 10 time zones round the bottom of the globe in some of its most inhospitable regions.
I have seen and experienced both sides of Antarctica now.
As I sadly leave the ship, I recall the words that I read on the back of Shackleton's monument five weeks earlier and they seem to sum up my feelings:
"I hold... that a man should strive/ to the uttermost for his life's set prize." - Robert Browning

I came to the understanding that I was an atheist about 5 years ago, when I was 30 years old. I'd had a lot of time to develop my irrational thinking over that 30 year period.
It was then that I came across a Bright's chat group - wow, what a shock - I was notified clearly and succinctly that my comments were ridiculous, out of this world and plain nonsense - that I had probably been mistaken in arriving in the chat room to start with - followed by ridicule, dismissals and general boredom.
I went off the idea of being an atheist for a few months - then due to thirst for human interaction on the rational level - I persevered and found the Naturalists -
Here I received a very different response. One of compassion, understanding, kindness and education. Many thanks to Tom Clark, Ken Batts, Stephen and others for their above listed qualities.
It was in a Naturalism Yahoo Group that I was educated about rational thinking - but mainly about causality, the causal web and determinism. Not everyone agrees regarding this view of reality - but I find this approach to be way more beneficial to well being and the promotion of education regarding rational thought than the afore mentioned experience afforded me in the Bights forum.
A recent blog post (http://www.atheistnexus.org/profiles/blogs/are-atheists-smarter-tha... ) and subsequent comments led me to the following question:
What is our responsibility as atheists, in promoting rational thinking?
None of us are able to maintain rational thought all of the time - we all transgress into irrational thinking at times. It takes practice and mindfulness to maintain rational thought.
I think we can be more kind to ourselves, our fellow atheists and the outside community when it comes to promoting rational thought. Indeed I believe it our responsibility.
I hope that Matt doesn't mind my posting his comment from the blog discussion below in order to demonstrate another frustration that would also benefit from us having more integrity as a community in how we maintain and promote our rational thinking - in a way that is effect in terms of education - which I would argue would include understanding, compassion and kindness.
Comment by Matt VDB on Wednesday
What I mean is that it's easy to say that you're a rationalist and that they have reason on their side - everyone thinks of themselves as rational and with reason on their side. Even creationists think of themselves as rational and intellectually honest. What ultimately determines if you're rational isn't whether or not you say that you are. It's in your day-to-day attitude of checking sources, having respect for the opinions of experts, etcetera...
What is your response to none rational thinking?
What are your thoughts about what we need to do as a community to effectively promote rational thought?
Views: 1325
I mean that IMO he encomposed contradictory elements - because I found his approach aggressive - perhaps it was how he was portrayed in the media also - that he had 'attacked' Princess Diana and Mother Teresa - I think a lot of people had a primitive flight/fight reaction to some of his talks - whether he went on to prove his point or not.
Like Greta says - atheism needs a good cop / bad cop strategies to make progress - extremists as well as diplomats.
I admire Hitchen's greatly - and have decided to come out to my own family, friends and community in honour to his life and death - I admire his courage and his determination to make himself heard on matters of injustice and morality.
I heard enough of Hitchens, years ago, to decide that he was a genius with an urge to destroy himself. He put a lot of effort into reaching his goal. He succeeded.
I was, for several years during the 1970s, a member of Mensa in the two large cities I lived in. I went to meetings in both cities and decided that too many Mensans, while smart, were socially retarded. A woman member who shared my view told me the Mensa men she'd met had very clever ways to hurt people. I soon quit.
Decades of research have been done on intelligence. Soon after I quit, I asked a college professor about that research. He summarized his view with "IQ is the number you get after you take an IQ test."
The books "Emotional Intelligence" and "Social Intelligence" report some of that research.
Tom - I think I've read the EQ book - as intelligence is way more than recognising patterns - it's also about recognising pain in another persons face and your ability to respond to that with loving care...
By the way re Hitchen's - his death may have been one of those highly influenced by genetic factors - as his father died of the same thing around the same age - I've heard that genes have much to do with what kills you and when - environment may only have a small baring - perhaps a matter of a few years... depending of course how far you take it.....
Maruli - I agree with you - I'm wondering though if we have a choice about how we withdrawn from such an argument - do we take the abusive track of name calling, ridicule etc, or do we take the high road of chivalry - and leave our own and their honour in tact?
Alice, after I took a community college course in assertive communication, I found that conversations sometimes allowed me to joke, "I grew up a boy in America; I learned how to aggress."
That course described assertiveness as the ability:
1. To say "I like....",
2. To say "I don't like....", and
3. To say "No, thanks."
Would one of these help you withdraw from an argument?
BTW, I took the course after I met people who aggressed more effectively than I.
Tom - great tips - lol re meeting one who could agress more effectively than yourself. I think that there are many white males (to be stereotypical about it), who haven't yet met that one that can agress more effectively yet and so propound their own theories with vigour and despise the weakness they perceive in others - not realising that valor and chivalry are a much better way to go on all counts - including finding a mate.... :)
But yes, your 3 points are useful and I would be wise to remain mindful of them :)
Though they may often be confused, there is certainly a difference between chivalry and chauvinism. The former considers honour as a measure of one's own behaviour, while the latter mistakes honour for a measure of the opinions of others.
You know, all this talk of Compassion, Valour, Honour, and such reminds me of the Ultima series. I really think that contemplation of the virtue system from 'Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar' in my formative years had a big impact on my ethical development.
Start with three principles: Truth, Love, and Courage.
From those, eight virtues are derived:
*It doesn't mean 'spirit' in the supernatural religious sense, some of the Ultima games criticize religion rather sharply. http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=150396
Kevin - do you think perhaps I should get this game for my Minecraft obsessed 10 year old - so as to develop his character? :)
Minecraft is essentially virtual Legos, right? I don't see a problem in encouraging creativity.
Ultima IV came out in '85, and while there are free copies you can download online, you may have trouble getting him to play it. There are people who have come up with fan-driven projects to re-create the games in more modern formats, though.
Then again, who knows... if he likes the blocky 'retro' look of Minecraft, maybe he'll actually play a real retro game.
thanks Kevin - I'll pass it on.... :)
Kevin - LOL

Part of being a historian is being active in the field and one of the ways to get active is to be a member of a professional association or society. I am currently a member of the Society for Military History and the Army Historical Foundation (sorry to the rest of the branches, but I am an Army Brat). I am also involved with H-Net, which is a consortium of list servers and discussion based online networks on a wide variety of Humanities and Social Science topics, mostly history related. I have also been a member of The Historical Society and the AHA, but left the former to use the funds that would go to it to pay for membership in other organizations closer related to my research. I left the AHA for personal reasons that I will not go into here.
I have been happy with my membership in the Society for Military History and Army Historical Foundation, but I decided that since I am getting a bit further along in my graduate education, I wanted to join a couple new groups. Therefore, a few weeks ago, I mailed in my application to join The Society of Civil War Historians and just last night, after consulting with my thesis adviser yesterday, I joined the Southern Historical Association. I am contemplating joining the Society of Historians of the Early American Republic (SHEAR), but will have to wait and see about my finances.
There are many advantages to being a member of a professional group, like the ones above. You get a subscription to a quality peer-reviewed publication that offers up the latest scholarly happenings in the field. This is important, as one should be up, as best as possible, on the latest trends in their research areas. Second, you often get discounts to attend the national meetings and conferences held by these groups. These meetings, which often include a conference, as well as other conferences offer the opportunity to share your research with other scholars, as well as network with other members, which can be great for future employment. In addition, some groups have job sessions, where preliminary interviews are held for various positions around the nation and world.
In short, there are very few reasons, except for having more money in your bank account and more shelf space in your home (which are bad reasons anyway), to not join a professional society. Graduate students are especially encouraged to join, as it looks great on the old CV and on applications for programs and fellowships, plus most groups offer discounted rates for students, since they realize most students, myself included, do not have as much discretionary income. I encourage you to check out the groups I mentioned and look for others that maybe closer to your interests.

OMG i hate BL trying to change things up with 8 peeps under the yellow line and then have to RUN? WTheck they know these folks are out of shape! and then do sprints to reach a single flag.. of course the guys who are bigger and just a metobolic fact will lose more weight in a week than most women! and yeah i hated that all were women in the comp. i dont think that was a fair situation that BL set up at all. if that 's how they are gonna be i would have sprinted just once.. seen where my competition is and then possibly held out till more than 3 of them tired and then i would have gone full out for that flag.. pushing and elbowing all the way! thus PLAYING the GAME! I hope they rethunk that idea for next season if they do get signed for another season!

Seager's three-run homer propels Mariners
SEATTLE -- Powered by two more home runs from Kyle Seager, the Mariners rallied from a 5-0 deficit to beat the visiting Rangers, 6-5, on Sunday in front of 26,300 fans at Safeco Field.
Trailing 5-3 with two outs in the eighth inning, Justin Smoak doubled, then Dustin Ackley followed with a pinch-hit single.View Full Game Coverage
SEATTLE -- Powered by two more home runs from Kyle Seager, the Mariners rallied from a 5-0 deficit to beat the visiting Rangers, 6-5, on Sunday in front of 26,300 fans at Safeco Field.
Trailing 5-3 with two outs in the eighth inning, Justin Smoak doubled, then Dustin Ackley followed with a pinch-hit single.View Full Game Coverage
Seager then deposited a 1-0 changeup from Rangers reliever Alexi Ogando deep into the right-field seats. The three-run homer gave the Mariners a 6-5 lead. It was Seager's fifth in the last four games. In his first 14, he batted .143 with two RBIs and a .492 OPS.
"I thought we had him," said Rangers manager Ron Washington. "For a moment I thought he was in a slump. I guess he's not."
Seager helped the Mariners avoid getting swept by the Astros on Wednesday with a walk-off, three-run blast. On Sunday, he delivered again, finishing 2-for-4 with four RBIs.
"[Ogando] has so much good stuff you just have to look for something over the middle of the plate," Seager said of his final at bat. "You just got to hope for a mistake pitch."
He got it, and Mariners closer Fernando Rodney worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his fifth save of the season.
The win moved Seattle to 10-14 on the year and ended their six-game homestand with a 3-3 record. It was Seattle's first series win since they swept the Angels to begin the season.
Trying to ignite the offense and perhaps preserve a few players for an upcoming 10-game road trip, Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon gave Brad Miller, Mike Zunino and Abraham Almonte the day off Sunday. And they struggled at first.
They couldn't solve Texas starter Matt Harrison, who entered with a 10-2 record and a 2.06 ERA in his career against Seattle but hadn't appeared in a game since April 2013 because of two surgeries to correct herniated discs in his back. He didn't have to shake off any rust, going six innings and giving up two runs on three hits.
Seattle didn't get a quality start from right-hander Brandon Maurer, who lasted just 3 2/3 innings and gave up five runs on seven hits and a walk. Maurer missed most of Spring Training with an injured back, then was forced into the rotation because of injuries to James Paxton, Hisashi Iwakuma and Taijuan Walker.
"I thought he threw the ball extremely well early, fatigued again and started to get the ball up a little bit," McClendon said. "We probably pushed him a little bit because of the circumstances and he's given us the very best he can give us under the circumstances. I'm proud of the way the young man has gone about his business."
Third baseman Adrian Beltre started the second inning by lining a ground-rule double to left field. Alex Rios followed with a single. Then, Mitch Moreland singled to right and the baseball bounced under Stefen Romero's glove, scoring Beltre and Rios.
In the fourth, Texas added three more when Leonys Martin lined a one-out RBI single, driving in two, and Michael Choice doubled down the left-field line, scoring Martin and ending Maurer's afternoon before he could complete four innings.
Then came the Mariners.
In the bottom of the inning, Michael Saunders, hitting leadoff for the second consecutive day, drew a walk to give Seattle its first baserunner. Two batters later, Robinson Cano broke up the no-hitter with an RBI double that cut the lead to 5-1.
After walking Corey Hart to put runners on first and second, Harrison worked out of the trouble. First, he struck out Smoak. When outfielder Cole Gillespie reached on an infield single, it loaded the bases, but Harrison brushed it off and struck out Seager to end the inning.
Meanwhile, Mariners relievers Lucas Luetge, Charlie Furbush, Tom Wilhelmsen, Danny Farquhar and Rodney combined to throw 5 1/3 shutout innings.
"They saved us … they all did a tremendous job," McClendon said of the bullpen. "If you look at the numbers, it's hard to win games when the bullpen is giving you four, five innings. It's hard to win a game, and they shut it down."
Seattle added their second run in the sixth when Harrison's wild pitch scored Cano from third, and another when Seager hit a solo shot in the seventh, setting the stage for the third baseman's dramatic eighth-inning blast.
"He's starting to heat up a little bit," McClendon said. "He's starting to swing the bat the way he knows he's capable of swinging."

Had one of those tiffs with the missus. Subject being twitter, as usual.
"You're spending far too much time on twitter", she said, to which I responded with understandable outrage because compared to many on my timeline, I'm hardly on twitter at all. However this did not fit into her stalinist guidlines on conducting debates and much dudgeon occured. It was up to me to sign peace in the evening, following the tried and trusted technique of beginning with abject surrender. Life.
Went to Dahisar and handed over the staircase fabrication to poor impoverished Yatin. He is really a fine mind, Yatin is. Wish i could do something to harness it. He is also of a slightly ambiguous moral fibre, which makes unsupervised delegation a risky proposition.
Cooked Goa Sausages for dinner. Total WIN. Added a couple of potatoes and onions to my trusty non-stick pan, deskinned the sausages and added the meat, added a cupful of water and simmered the mess for about 10 minutes. Then, on an impulse, indulging in my core life philosophy that everything tastes better with cheese, I added a generous dollop of grated Gouda. The bread-wallah turned up around this time and I bought a dozen 'pao' from him.
Discovery - Pao goes beautifully with goa sausage curry.
Overcome by the beauty of the moment, I poured myself a fairly stiff Black Label with a little ice and water.
Discovery 2 -- Black Label goes beautifully with goa sausage curry.
Stayed away from the computer for the rest of the night. Gautham was whining away about being bored and being a whiskey down, I rashly suggested we should watch "Borat". Well, watch it he did. He laughed and laughed, if that's any consolation, but MY ears were mostly a bright red. What an outrageous movie to watch with your 13 year old son! I hope he doesn't
imbibe anything from it. Luckily, Sheela doesn't know anything about this or divorce would be imminent in the family.

The online thing is good in a different way. since it is private, you can really write whatever comes to your mind. you cn never do this with a blog. and when you review it after a while, it's like seeing a snapshot of your mind. Awesom.

Ouch! Watching Borat with a 13 yr old! Hmm....I couldn't even tolerate the language after the first 30 mins and I turned off the movie. But then again, I am a mom LOL!!!
