1 The Speaker s Choice Communicating Credibility
2 Page 2 COMMUNICATING CREDIBILITY Communicating effectively is crucial for your success in your work and personal life. When you communicate, it is essential that your listeners experience you as credible and trustworthy. They will base this on what you say, how you say it, what they see you doing and what they think your intent is. Communicating Credibility focuses on the communication skills necessary to build trust and credibility in any communication situation: formal or informal, seated or standing, face to face or over the phone, and in your work and personal lives. The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your relationships. The quality of your relationships is determined by the quality of your communication. HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE PERCEIVED? The perception others have of you is their reality. How our audience perceives us is of utmost importance. Dr. Albert Mehrabian, a former UCLA professor of social psychology and author of Silent Messages 1, describes three areas of communication we focus on: 1) our words (verbal); 2) our sound (vocal); and 3) our body language (visual). Dr Mehrabian found that when others sense a speaker s inconsistencies in what they say, how they say it and what they show with body language audiences tend to focus on the body language, and voice first to determine credibility. When that happens, content (verbal) plays a very small part in assessing credibility. What do you believe each area of communication contributes to the perception of one s credibility, according to Dr. Mehrabian s study? Verbal % Vocal % Visual % 100% The most important thing in communication is to hear what is not being said. - Peter Drucker The ultimate goal is to present a consistent message with all three communication factors. 1 Mehrabian, Albert, PhD (1981), Silent Messages: Implicit Communication of Emotions and Attitudes (2nd ed.) Wadsworth, CA
3 Page 3 BEHAVIOR SKILLS STANCE People will be judging and making decisions about you before you even say a word. It is just human condition. Don t let the way you stand or where you place your hands be more ammunition your listeners have to prejudge you before you start delivering your message. When standing: Stand with your weight balanced evenly on both legs. You feet should be spaced about hip width apart. Stand up straight, head up and shoulders just slightly pulled back toward the center of your back. Have your knees relaxed (no tension) and your weight leaning just slightly forward so that a good portion of your weight is over the balls of your feet. Let your arms and hands rest comfortably at your sides. When you use your hand gestures, be sure to let your arms rest at your side once a hand gesture is done. Get comfortable with having your arms resting at your sides is the home position. When seated: When you are speaking and want to convey an interested, professional demeanor, sit up straight with only the lower part of your back touching the chair. Let your hands rest comfortably on the table when you are using them to gesture. Keep your hands free of holding a pen or pencil. Have your paper and pen off to the side until you need to access them, then make notes as needed. BEHAVIOR SKILLS MOVEMENT When you have the ability and space to move around, do it. Just be sure it is done in a purposeful manner. Follow these guidelines: Before you move, finish your thought with the person you are speaking to, pause, and look at someone else, then move. Use the connection with that next person as your reason for moving. To avoid invading anyone s personal space or appearing too aggressive, pivot your body back toward the center of the room. Don t move too often. It will look like you are pacing and nervous. Stay in one spot for at least 45 seconds and then move when you want to connect with a different part of the room! Use all the space available to you. Make it a point to get to the ends of the room periodically during your presentation. If you are in a conference room and your audience is seated around a table, move from one corner of the head of the table to the other.
4 Page 4 BEHAVIOR SKILLS GESTURES Using hand gestures can help you convey your message with sincerity. This can help you emphasize points, reflect your emotions and paint a picture in your listeners minds. By using gestures that come naturally to you, you will burn off energy that helps you relax. Notice what you do with your hands when you are in your most comfortable settings with your family and friends. Try expressing naturally with your hands the next time you are in a business setting. Always know your audience and how formally or informally they behave and adjust your gestures as needed. Let your arms relax at your sides when you are not gesturing. Avoid elbow lock, hands in pockets, hand clasping, arm crossing or placing your hands in any other place that is not natural. Gestures should be used when you are on the phone, too. Gestures animate our voice. BEHAVIOR SKILLS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS Facial expressions reflect how you feel. If you are feeling excited about something, your face needs to show it. If you are discussing a frustrating topic and want to convey a sense of frustration to your listeners, your face must reveal that. Showing some emotion is key. You don t want to smile all the time. But if you want to convey sincerity and persuade your listeners to do something, seeing some emotion on your face will help them feel you are serious about your topic and your feeling about it. When a smile is appropriate, let it out. Your listeners will tend to mirror your smile. With an occasional smile you relax, they relax, and that can turn a tense situation around. The most valuable of all talents is never using two words when one will do. - Thomas Jefferson
5 Page 5 BEHAVIOR SKILLS PAUSE You may find that it is distracting or bothersome when you are talking with someone or hear a speech that includes filler words such as um, you know, like or any other word spoken too frequently. It is likely that it may be difficult to retain much of the content when someone speaks with too many filler words. The pause is the cure for eliminating filler words in any communication situation. The first step is to become aware of your filler words. Once you recognize your filler word, begin to replace it with a pause. Catch yourself not ever ending a sentence or plugging gaps with filler words and then build in the discipline of silence. Silence allows the listeners to: Soak in and process what you said Anticipate what he or she will say next Take notes Ask a question Listeners need silence. They become annoyed if they don t get it. Pausing helps your listeners stay engaged. The benefits you get from pausing include: Time to breathe Remain poised and in control Able to emphasize a point Listen more effectively. You can practice the pause in everyday situations by: Listening to your voic s before sending. Re-record the message so it is filler-free or free of run-on sentences. Noticing if you run out of breath or if your volume trails off at the end of sentences. If it does, commit to pausing and breathing sooner. Asking family, friends and colleagues to notice your filler words in casual situations. BEHAVIOR SKILLS VOICE Taking the opportunity to breathe not only helps you relax but also helps to project your voice. Notice your volume and energy when communicating in one-on-one, small group or in public speaking situations. If you struggle with volume, practice taking a deep breath when you pause, hold it for a moment and begin to speak when you exhale. You will notice your volume will be louder and you will have more control over your voice to emphasize certain words in your sentences.
6 Page 6 BEHAVIOR SKILLS EYE CONTACT In American culture, eye contact is a gauge to determine if someone is telling the truth. Eye contact is extremely important in all your interactions no matter who the listeners are and in any business or personal situation. Having good eye contact with your listener not only helps to establish your credibility but it also helps you establish a better relationship with your listeners. Here are a few guidelines: Look people in the eye not over their heads or at their noses, or at the back wall of the room. Look at people for a thought, phrase or wherever there is a punctuation mark. When you hear a comma, period, exclamation mark or question mark, pause and shift your eyes to the next person. Be sure to include everyone with your eye contact that is in the room. Do not ignore anyone. Be sure your eye contact is random. That way, it looks natural. During one-on-one situations, notice if the other person is uncomfortable and break away eye contact for a brief moment and then reconnect. When you look away, don t look over they person s shoulder, rather, use an object that is between the two of you. The benefits you get from eye contact are: Establishes a connection with each person Being perceived as credible and confident Able to observe the listener and gauge interest Helps you relax and focus your thoughts Enables your listeners to feel involved According to most studies, people s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy. - Jerry Seinfeld
7 Page 7 ACTION PLAN IDENTIFY THE BEHAVIOR SKILLS YOU DO WELL/ARE PLEASED WITH: Stance Gestures Pause Eye Contact Movement Facial Expressions Voice IDENTIFY THE BEHAVIOR SKILL(S) YOU WANT TO STRENGTHEN: Stance Movement Gestures Facial Expressions Pause Voice Eye Contact HOW WILL YOU PRACTICE THE SKILL(S) YOU WANT TO STRENGTHEN? HOW WILL YOU GET FEEDBACK ON YOUR PROGRESS?
8 Page 8 Skill comes from practice. - Chinese proverb TIPS FOR SUCCESS The nervousness you may experience is often not seen by your audience. Concentrate on one behavior skill at a time for three weeks. Remind yourself of the strengths you already have and use those to create new habits. Use video/audio recording and live feedback from colleagues to build awareness and strengthen your skills. NOTES: The Speaker s Choice 2774 E. Main Street #125 St. Charles, IL Toll-Free F

The Minnesota Legislature is considering these important bills that affect all aircraft owners that lease noncommercial aircraft storage hangars from the Metropolitan Airports Commission. The legislation provides an exemption from the state commercial property tax for leased land on which private noncommercial aircraft storage hangars are located.
The bills sponsored by Representative Andy Westerberg and Senator Stephen Novak are currently in review committees. On February 23, 2000, HB 3782 was introduced to the House and referred to the House Committee on Taxes. On February 21, 2000, SB 3400 was introduced to the Senate and assigned to the Senate Committee on Local and Metropolitan Government for review. Through the swift action of all Minnesota pilots and aircraft owners to support these bills, these bills could pass favorably from these committees, the House of Representatives, and the Senate to ultimately go before the governor for his signature.
House Bill 3782 enhances the state's commitment toward a viable aviation system based on fair and equitable treatment of all the system's users. Privately owned noncommercial aircraft storage hangars are currently subject to a commercial property tax, even though these same hangar owners are prevented from conducting commercial activities as defined in their leases with the airport. AOPA strongly believes that general aviation cannot afford actions that unjustly discriminate against its presence in Minnesota. This legislation will ensure that general aviation is treated reasonably and on fair terms.
Pilots and owners are urged to stay informed regarding this legislation and contact their elected representatives and senators, asking them to vote in support of these bills. Letters and faxes are most effective, but e-mail and phone contacts are useful too. Initially we are concentrating on contacting representatives in the House Committee on Taxes, where HB 3782 is now being considered, and the Senate Committee on Local and Metropolitan Government, where SB 3400 is under consideration.
Be sure that the first line of your letter clearly states that the letter is submitted in strong support of House Bill 3782 and Senate Bill 3400. The bill numbers must be included.
It is important to describe how the current tax affects you personally. You might point out the unjustly discriminatory nature of the tax by charging you for commercial activity that you are not allowed to conduct as described in your own leases. Describe how it is imperative that the state and the Metropolitan Airports Commission treat general aviation fairly and reasonably.
Thank your representative and senator for considering the matter and acting favorably in support of you, his or her constituent.

In the last few weeks, I've had a lot of free time. I wanted pursue something a little closer to my professional and creative aspirations, so I found a new job (!!!) and left my old one. I took some time off in between.
After I left my old office for the last time, I immediately felt uneasy. Listen - I'm VERY good at doing nothing, if given the chance. But I knew I shouldn't go down that path. As an adult (or, as I've heard from other more adult-y adults), having free time is a rare commodity. Here are the goals I set that day:
1. Start a design-only Instagram account
I've been meaning to split up my personal and design content on Instagram for a while now. What really pushed me to do it was my overarching goal to experiment and practice more. I ended up learning how to animate in After Effects, how to make cool stop-motion clips, and how to work with new media. I'm playing with more colors, too.
Having a separate platform dedicated to this made a big difference. It's kind of liberating!
2. Read
So I actually only finished three books: The Handmaid's Tale (Margaret Atwood), 1984 (George Orwell), and Outliers (Malcolm Gladwell). I'm a big fan of dystopian novels and a little less keen on non-fiction...but Malcolm might be able to convince me otherwise. Now I'm working on The Design of Everyday Things (Don Norman).
If you have any book suggestions, send them my way!
3. Travel
I think I'm falling for the south. I went to Dallas and Knoxville (and Atlanta earlier in the year) - all for separate reasons, but I loved them each so dearly.
We can always benefit from encountering new kinds of people and culture. It's also unique to do so within a country as big as the U.S., especially in our current political climate. Gaining new perspectives is rarely a bad thing and I'm very grateful that I can afford to travel. It's been magical!
(In Tennessee, I saw the solar eclipse in its path of totality. Totally worth the 8 hour drive.)
4. Watch Game of Thrones from start to finish
Nope. I watched all ten seasons of Friends instead :)
I just wasn't in the mood for GoT.
You can't blame me, I was on a BREAK!
Tomorrow I begin my new job. I'm nervous, but fortunately I'm even more excited. Wish me luck!

Bacon and Legs – Orgasmic pastrami for the New Year
New Year's Eve. Wild parties, lots of bubbly, sequins dresses and party hats. Every freaking year. Oh wait, no. That's not me …
Let's try this again.
New Year's Eve. A house full of cats, half a beer, pajamas and setting my alarm for two minutes 'til midnight. Every freaking year!
Yup, that's more like it.
All of this makes me something of an expert on the New Year's television specials. Ever since Dick Clark stroked out on us, there has been nothing to watch on TV. I, personally, like to pop in When Harry Met Sally. I think it's generally considered the best New Year's movie. Even Time put together a list of the best New Year's movies this year and it was number one (or number eight, depending how you look at the list).
You've gotta respect Sally. She's independent, a master of hairstyles and owns days of the week underpants. Most importantly, she knows what she wants at restaurants and she makes sure she gets exactly that. Much like Harry, I love hearing her order. That being said, I think it's sucky that we don't get to hear her order in the most famous scene of the movie: the Katz Deli scene. Especially since the scene ends with the famous line, "I'll have what she's having." The woman who utters this line (Rob Reiner's mother) jokes that the food must induce orgasm. So let's figure out what the fuck this food is, yeah?
For starters, I found the script online. Funny thing is, there wasn't much setup written, but it was originally supposed to be in Carnegie Deli. Secondly, if you watch the scene they are both setup with giant pastrami sandwiches. Naturally. Including a pickle, and a server brings sides of coleslaw. Sally removes most of the meat from her sandwich.
Perfect, seems simple enough. But this food is good enough to climax over. So I wanted to make sure we get it just right. Actually, the folks over at Serious Eats did all the work for me. They worked with Katz Deli and unveiled exactly how to make their signature pastrami. It's intense. (That's why it's so good.) I did not do this when I made mine. I bought some. But let it be known that the info is out there if you're feeling a little crazy-dedicated.
Pastrami. Rye. Slaw. Big Fat Pickle. I'll have what she's having.
Happy 2015!
I'll Have What She's Having
Orgasmic Pastrami for the New Year
- 2 slices rye bread
- 1/3 lb. thick-sliced pastrami (blend of lean and fatty)
- 2/3 cup coleslaw
- a damn good kosher dill
Pile the pastrami high on the bread. Remove most of the pastrami from the bread. Serve with a side of coleslaw and a pickle.
Fake an orgasm.
(Hardest recipe I've ever done.)
* I like to put coleslaw on my sandwich and have a pastrami special.

Since the last revisions "Update on Classification of Stages" and "Brief further Update" on my overall model of development (made in 2008), I have been operating with 7 major bands (each containing 3 major levels).
However I have come to realise that in recent work, I have in fact been making extensive use of a distinctive band - what I refer to as - Band 5, which was not included in the original account.
So with this extra addition, this now gives 8 bands in my overall model (with 24 major levels).
And in the the context of the holistic mathematical approach these can all be scientifically encoded in a dynamic binary digital manner, representing unique configurations with respect to both differentiated and integral aspects of development respectively.
So perhaps in the light of this latest revision, it would be instructive to outline briefly the 8 major bands.
Band 1 starts from a state of total confusion where differentiation and integration have not yet taken place. And the first major task is to achieve substantial differentiation with respect to the structures that then gradually emerge in childhood experience.
So we have Level 1 sensori-motor activity in the differentiation of the diagonal polarities of form and emptiness. When successfully completed this leads to the emergence of a distinctive body-self.
Level 2 is initially associated with magical experience representing the confusion of the vertical polarities of whole and part, i.e. where the (holistic) unconscious is confused with (specific) conscious phenomena. However when successfully negotiated this leads to the corresponding emergence of a distinctive emotional self.
Level 3 is then associated with mythical type understanding due to remaining confusion with respect to the horizontal polarities of external and internal. However once again when successfully negotiated a child will now be able to substantially distinguish the (psychological) self from the (physical) environment.
Though successful integration should accompany the differentiation of each stage, in practice - especially in Western culture - it is of a somewhat reduced nature that is largely geared to supporting the functioning of more dominant differentiated structures.
Band 2 is then heavily geared to increasing linear specialisation of these conscious structures, especially with respect to the rational cognitive mode that so defines modern technological society.
Scientific specialisation with respect to the horizontal polarities is associated with a concrete stage (in the amassing of "objective" data). This is Level 1.
Corresponding specialisation with respect to the vertical polarities (where the whole can be increasingly separated from the parts) is then associated with a formal stage of pure theory.
Then in practice these two stages are often combined, where empirical research is wedded to testable hypotheses. And this constitutes Level 2.
When the two-way interplay of fact and theory is especially dynamic, rational understanding (of form) can then itself become fuelled with creative insight (spiritual emptiness). And this represents the vision stage (Level 3).
Though much has indeed been achieved in our world through the increasing specialisation of consciousness with respect to the cognitive mode, unfortunately it is also hugely unbalanced (where in scientific and mathematical terms the unconscious aspect of true qualitative type appreciation is reduced in a merely conscious manner).
Not surprisingly therefore, psychological development in modern culture significantly plateaus at Band 2 (with access to both the "higher" super-conscious and "lower" sub-conscious aspects of personality greatly impeded).
However there are always exceptions with some individuals remaining especially sensitive to unconscious promptings from an early age.
In such cases a major existential conflict is likely to emerge in late teenage (or early adult) life. Then if successfully resolved through a commitment to seek authentic meaning (irrespective of social pressures), this can lead to the significant unfolding of more advanced spiritual stages of development.
Band 3 is then associated with the continual refinement of a new intuitive mode of nondual contemplative type awareness. However this generally requires - for long periods - substantial erosion with respect to conventional dualistic type understanding.
Level 1 (Circular) is based on growing interdependence of conscious type phenomena with respect to external and internal polarities.
Then, as the rigid dualistic distinction between such phenomena fades, holistic intuitive awareness of a nondual unconscious kind emerges. However indirectly this is expressed in a conscious manner through the medium of circular i.e. paradoxical, logic.
A key emphasis in my own approach is the necessity to appropriately balance both states and structures with respect to development. So each newly refined state of intuitive awareness should then be appropriately balanced through a corresponding structure based on a refined circular type of paradoxical expression.
Thus there are many "dimensions" corresponding to these increasingly refined dynamic structures of form, which then can be given a precise circular numerical expression in holistic mathematical terms. And though - because of this scientific emphasis - I generally emphasise cognitive structures, there are also corresponding indirect ways of translating paradoxical appreciation with respect to affective and volitional structures.
So another key emphasis of my approach is to need to achieve appropriate integration as between cognitive, affective and volitional understanding throughout development, as these constitute the primary modes of understanding!
Level 1 is comprised of many relatively distinct stages. For example, we can have an initial holistic illumination stage with respect to sensory symbols followed by a corresponding purgative stage (of dualistic erosion) before a new deeper intellectual illumination stage unfolds. Then a major purgation ("dark night") can occur leading to the substantial erosion of all conscious phenomena culminating in an extremely oppressive volitional stage (of pure passive contemplation).
Though a belief persists during the illumination stages that one has now progressed to "higher" super-conscious type awareness, during purgation one can then become plunged deep in "lower" sub-conscious stages becoming prey to every human weakness.
Thus another key aspect of development that I emphasise is the need to successfully balance "higher" super-conscious with "lower" sub-conscious development. And this is extraordinarily difficult to properly attain!
There is generally a very pronounced transcendent emphasis to Level 1. To some extent this is rectified with Level 2 (Point). For a while one becomes deeply attuned to holistic affective awareness of an immanent kind, where once more one feels grounded in a stable spiritual reality. However rather like a mountaineer that takes a temporary rest to acclimatise when ascending Mount Everest, one soon becomes involved in seeking an even more refined level of transcendent type awareness.
Level 2 is then largely associated with the "imaginary" aspect of consciousness (both in super-conscious and sub-conscious terms) through the indirect conscious projection of phenomena that directly speak of a deeply holistic unconscious origin.
And once again one journeys through illumination phases of a highly passive dim light, where one becomes attuned to holistic understanding of a universal nature and purgative phases where substantial erosion of such imaginary phenomena takes place. However both extremes can now be experienced with more equanimity.
Whereas Level 1 becomes associated with a prolonged form of intellectual withdrawal (or negation), Level 2 now relates more directly to corresponding emotional withdrawal whereby one can derive very little sensible consolation from phenomena that increasingly are of a fleeting virtual nature (as indirectly expressive in conscious terms of what properly is of a a holistic unconscious nature).. However deep within, one becomes habitually attuned to a permanent form of awareness of the spiritual present.
And the direct clash as between "higher" super-conscious and "lower" sub-conscious regions of personality becomes much more pronounced at this stage.
Level 3 (Null Level) is then associated with the final assault as it were on the transcendent summit. Here development relates more directly to the volitional aspect as one keeps striving to attain a pure transcendent form of awareness (free of inordinate phenomenal attachment of a conscious or unconscious kind).
However this leads to the deepest psycho-physical type of stress as spirit and nature come directly in conflict with each other. So rather like the mountaineer approaching the summit of Everest, one becomes greatly fatigued suffering a debt of oxygen, likewise one now feels extremely stretched in psychological terms with scarcely any inspiration remaining to carry out conscious tasks.
Therefore though sincerely attempting to balance the "lower" physical aspects of personality with the "higher" spiritual aspects, there are inevitable limitations in achieving complete success at this stage.
It is my contention that the most difficult task of all in psychological development is fully coming to terms with the primitive instinctive aspects of behaviour.
And so far in the attempt to achieve pure transcendence, the "higher" cognitive tends to dominate the "lower" affective side of personality. Thus primitive feelings still remain unwittingly repressed preventing true integration.
Therefore though in one sense the culmination of Level 3 marks the completion of the ascent in the attainment of the transcendent spiritual quest, it is achieved at a considerable price. Due to the severe conflict of a psycho-physical nature, one is now likely to become especially vulnerable to some debilitating form of illness.
Just as Band 2 is designed to represent the specialisation of dualistic (linear) type understanding, Band 4 is likewise designed to represent the corresponding specialisation of nondual (circular) type awareness.
This in turn can be associated with three relatively distinctive levels.
Level 1 (Transcendent) represents the transcendent extreme in a holistic contemplative awareness that is beyond all phenomenal symbols. However when not properly balanced by the corresponding immanent aspect, this leads to a subtle aversion to form at the "lower" instinctive levels, causing involuntary projections of primitive repressed phenomena into consciousness.
Level 2 (Immanent) represents the complementary extreme in a holistic type awareness of individual uniqueness that is already embodied in all specific phenomena as their spiritual source of being.
Level 3 (Transcendent/Immanent) represents the subsequent balancing of both contemplative extremes in a refined awareness, where Form and Emptiness are experienced as two indispensable sides of the same coin. So transcendence in an experience of (spiritual) emptiness as beyond all form is necessary to support immanence in the complementary experience of emptiness that is already inherent in all form and vice versa.
However it may take a considerable time for these two spiritual poles of transcendence and immanence respectively to become properly harmonised in experience. Thus before this task is completed we are likely to see the emergence of Band 5 in development.

There was a host of board games with her. We could choose board games from SPY, chinese race, memory etc. The biggest hit was the Mine a Million. Here we purchased our own barges, boats, trucks and mined away the ore to a distant country for earning maximum money. This some how was a big hit with the gang – mostly because we knew the theme while the others were little tough to get through our bird brains.
There used to be mine-a-million session starting from morning 10AM ( we had brunch before starting off and this was good with grownups around the house) and ended somewhere round 4 or 5 pm when somebody won the game or there was a dispute of sorts. This non-stop nonsence used to puzzle the elders but kept thier grins hidden as it kept the entire gang out of trouble with neighbourhood.
When Mrs MuthuLakshmi found that we were in no mood of even thinking of returning the boards, she put in a word with my padma aunty. These boards have come from Africa to be given as presents to one of the cousines in chennai. Would we be good enough to return those? Off course wasnt I the land lords son? People those days feared and respected the land lord while the land lord feared the rent control act.
I hurridely cancelled the game session and went into a hudle well away from the regular play room into the opens and behind the usual Govenment School grounds. We all had fallen in love with the board game and somebody removing that meant a big void. Only a child will know how precious the game is which is usually otherwise measured by cost by adults.
With tears, we wanted to go and hand back the games to Mrs Mutu lakshmi. I hit upon an idea. Why not replicate the game? After all it was a cardboard stuff with plastic entities. The idea was a instant hit!
We decided to pool our resources and decided to have a go at it. We never shared this secret to anybody lest they laugh at our idea. I promptly went with all the board games to Mrs lakshmi and requested for 2 more days to return the mine a million alone. She too laughed and said OK, keep it for a week if you want but surely I need to send it with my husband to Madras this week end.
We planned the project eloborately. We drafted the writing skills of Sudheera, the colouring ability of sumantha. Umesh was the scissors man – cutting lorries and barges. I was the site supervisor providng gum's, sketch pens. I also took 4 old calanders and 2 of them put togather became our poor mans board.
After lots of painting and drying, the game written by hand looked like the crude cousin of the original. We copied all the hand bill details, the notes etc. We used the gulugangi – a red coloured small thing as replacement for ore in cardboard barges and trucks.
After ensuring everything was dry and usable, we purchased a big set of dice from Bhavani Bangal stores on DVG road and returned the mine a million with zillion thanks to the owner.
The dry run of the session was very good. Everybody got back to their original ways and the elders at home were amazed at our dupilcating skills.
One highlight of this entire excercise is – it was a team effort. We all pooled our resources and never bothered about ownership. Since the heavy calander was difficult to transport, we just rolled and pushed it under of grand fathers cot! A bata shoe box doubled up to hold all other things like currencies, play cards, dice and gulugangi. What I later learnt in corporate trainings in terms of teams was practiced by us to perfection in our childhood days!
Holidays are numbered again. Like all good things and bad things – these end too. When it was just 10 days left for 5th standard to re-open, I had to sit and write the copy writing for 2 months in kannada!!! We were expected to write one page per day.This was a pain – a literal pain in the hand. The elders curtailed our mine a million times until we finished the quota of atleast 18 pages per day – as calculated by padma aunty so that we break even on the school opening day!
A new year means many new things – Uniforms, Shoes, Socks, Ties, Belts and off course those brand new books which are difficult each year.
A new teacher Gayathri took over the 5th standard chaps. First day itself we found out she was inexperienced.
to be continued….

MANILA — Thousands of people whose relatives were victims of the doomed Philippine passenger liner Dona Paz rallied in a downtown Manila park Saturday appealing for government help in collecting compensation and retrieving bodies of the dead.
More than 1,600 people died when the oil tanker Victor rammed the Dona Paz last Sunday, causing both vessels to sink after a fiery explosion. Only 26 survivors were found.
The manifest for the Dona Paz listed 1,532 passengers and 58 crew members, but the coast guard has said that at least 100 more people boarded just before the ship sailed from Tacloban, on the central island of Leyte.
Several in the crowd of 3,000 sobbing, anxious people in the park said their relatives' names were not on the manifest, raising fears that they will not be able to collect insurance or a share of any settlement.

Event Horizon (1997)
2 factual errors - chronological order
Directed by: Paul W.S. Anderson
Starring: Jason Isaacs, Joely Richardson, Kathleen Quinlan, Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill
Factual error: When D.J. is attacked by Dr. Weir, he is grabbed by the throat and is squeezed until his windpipe is broken, shown by the way he was breathing (or struggling to). When Weir seizes him again and throws him against a support beam, he screams in a way impossible for someone who just had his windpipe crushed.
Factual error: When Justin is in the air lock and activates the outer door he freaks out as he sees the veins in his arms bulge and then he starts bleeding from his eyes and maybe his mouth too. This wouldn't happen. Movies get this wrong a lot. All that would happen is that he would lose gravity, he would be sucked out of the ship and unless he was holding his breath tightly the air would rush out of his lungs. He would die within about 30 seconds from lack of oxygen, maybe 60 if he was holding his breath, but he would not bleed from anywhere.troy fox

When did you become a Kid?
All of a sudden, Monkey is no longer a baby – she's a damn kid. I swear the shit happened over-night, because she's all of a sudden using little half sentences instead of just pointing and saying the word and I don't remember her doing that last week. Where the hell did time go???
We were in the kitchen while I was getting her some juice, and I was pulling the milk out of the fridge, because the juice was behind it and all of a sudden she points at the milk and says "Mamao, want that". So I poured her a cup of milk and didn't think about it until I was putting the milk back in the fridge and then I looked at her like "WTF? Did you just use a half sentence? When the hell did you become a kid????"
She's also pretty smart too. We were hanging out at The Boyfriend's house, and she kept picking stuff up off the table, and when we'd tell her to put it back, she'd put it back the same way it was before she touched it. And we were at The Bestie's parents house hanging out by the pool and she picked up a round- floaty-tube thing from under a beach ball and ran around with it for a while. But when she was done with it, she put it back where she got it from and put the ball back in the center of the tube, exactly how she found it. Crazy.
Seriously, I want to know where time went. Because I swear it was just yesterday that I was bringing her little yellow behind (the doctors said she was a little jaundiced, but I don't think they realize that my tan, is not a sun tan, its my natural skin color and her donor is pasty…) home from the hospital. She could barely even open her eyes. Now she's a damn kid. Walking, talking (talking back already too), all that good stuff…..

If someone takes the time to recommend a book, chances are I'll read it. Take 'The Glass Castle' for instance. I love memoirs, but didn't know a thing about this one until Two Pretzels praised it here.
I loved this book for several reasons: it wasn't about abuse or even alcoholism really, the tone and my insane desire to meet the author's parents.
How the author kept such a matter-of-fact attitude about her 'crazy' parents and lifestyle is amazing to me. And it pains me to admit this, but I think her dad and my dad are brothers.

As far as the metropolitan area, Tokyo is the largest in the world. I believe the Metropolitan area, including Yokohama City and Kawasaki City, has a population somewhere around 34,000,000. That's a mind-baffling figure.
Relative to where you live, Tokyo is crowded beyond imagination. The jam-packed streets, stores, trains, and just about everywhere, can be both exciting and frustrating at times.
No matter how many years you spend in Tokyo I doubt you can see it all. Many shops and restaurants are changing all the time. It's not uncommon to go back to a restaurant in a couple years to find another one has replaced it.
The photo above was taken from Tokyo Tower. At 333 meters tall, it is the world's tallest self-supporting steel tower. Excellent views from this tower can be seen on Tokyo Tower's English web site.

Camera App: TangledFX
It's App Happy Wednesday and today I'm sharing an image I edited with an app I often forget about: TangledFX. This app has a dramatic effect on your photos, but sometimes that can be very interesting...I love what the app did to my photo here, especially the storm clouds! I took this during our Florida trip two weeks ago.
After using TangledFX, I moved the image into Mextures and used one of their filters (sorry, I forgot to note which one it was!) to make the sky tones more dramatic.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Wednesday...thanks for stopping by. I'm "sherribrannon" on Instagram.

Dental Implants in Fort Lauderdale
Do you need to have a dental implant procedure performed? If you have lost or missing teeth, dental implants may be an excellent option to traditional bridgework. The benefit is that the implanted tooth is more secure than other options and does not rely or effect the neighboring teeth for its positioning or support.
Dental Implant Advantages
- They avoid gum recession and bone loss which often happens with traditional bridges and with denture use.
- They're silent so there is no or clicking noises.
- They are stationary so they can't be lost, broken or need cleaning.
- They are durable and with very reliable.
- They preserve bone health by substituting for the missing root, thus providing the mass to help the bone retain its natural size.
- They do not have restrictions with eating particular foods, as dentures may.
How are dental implants positioned?
The most common process is the endosteal implant (inside the bone). This is a good alternative for people with bridges or dentures.
The other method is subperiosteal (on top of the bone and under the the membrane covering the bone, the periosteum). This type of dental implant may be performed on people who have less bone height, density or are otherwise not acceptable candidates for an endosteal implant.
Several months after the procedure, the dental implant will begin to secure permanently. During this healing phase, you may wear a temporary tooth. When the gum and bone are ready, the new tooth, called a crown, is affixed to the protruding end, the abutment, of the implant. This new tooth becomes a part of your dental work as securely as your natural teeth and soon thereafter, you can resume normal dental activities.

I dug these out of the archives yesterday. These are 2 pictures of my golden, Ky. I took these 1980 - 1981 or so with my Canon AE-1. There was so much dust and scratches that I processed in Alien Skin as oil paintings.
It has been a long time since I shot film. I may go back and try it again.

python (sequence analysis)
Budget $8-15 USD / ora
In 1990, Michael Crichton published the book Jurassic Park about the resurrection of dinosaurs
using the blood from the stomachs of insects which had been encased in amber. At one point in
the book, Dr. HenryWu is asked to explain some of the DNA techniques used in reconstructing
the extinct dinosaur genomes. Dr. Wu describes the use of restriction enzymes and how the
fragmented pieces of dino DNA can be spliced together with these enzymes. He also alludes
to the fact that they don't have the entire genome but that they "fill in the gaps" with modern
day frog DNA. At one point during his discussion he points to a computer screen and remarks
"Here you see the actual structure of a small fragment of dinosaur DNA."
In 1992 Dr. Mark Boguski at NCBI entered this sequence into a text editor and searched all
of the known DNA sequences at the time. Dr. Boguski wrote up his findings and submitted
a manuscript to the journal BioTechniques, as a tongue-in-cheek joke. His manuscript was
accepted and published. (Boguski, M.S. A Molecular Biologist Visits Jurassic Park. (1992)
BioTechniques 12(5):668-669).
You will reproduce this experiment using BLAST. ([login to view URL])
Submit the "dinosaur DNA" sequence you can find in the file [login to view URL] to a Nucleotidenucleotide
BLAST (blastn) search. How many of the top ten matches are artificial sequences?
Identify any actual organisms in the top ten.
Mark Boguski's published article was brought to Crichton's attention. In his second book,
"The Lost World", Mr. Crichton used Dr. Boguski as a consultant. Dr. Boguski constructed
an interesting sequence from existing species and also embedded a message in the protein
translation of the DNA sequence which he submitted for use in the book.
Once again, invoke Nucleotide-nucleotide BLAST (blastn) with the second "dinosaur DNA"
sequence you can find in the file dino2.fasta. Identify all organisms of the top ten matches.
Are either of these organisms related to dinosaurs?
Now use Translated query vs. protein database BLAST (blastx) with the same sequence and
the Swiss-Prot data base. Look at the amino acid sequence of the query sequence aligned to the
best hit. What is the hidden massage Dr. Boguski included in this sequence?
Hand in a well documented exercise, that contains the sequences, sources, output alignments
and scores and the parameters used for the algorithms. One major criterion for the grading of
this exercise is reproducibility.
Hint: Use the blastn and not the megablast option. "PREDICTED" sequences count as hits.

Considering discovering for Point Blank Interceptor OTV (Outer Tactical Vest) Ballistic Body Armor, three-Color Desert Camo, X-Large – Genuine U.S. Military Issue? Many people disagree with this, but the many causes for divorces level to truth in this idea. Gilboe obtained the chest plate in a ceremony Friday, on the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Portland, Maine. The day after Ellis took over the U.S. Marine Corps recalled 5,277 faulty Interceptor vests manufactured by Point Blank that set off a scandal that also hasn't settled in some quarters. The first thing I noticed in regards to the pattern Point Blank was gracious sufficient to send me was the weight, or quite lack thereof. Similar documented complaints of improper sizing have been reported by U.S. navy troops in Afghanistan.
Clearly issues did not work out so well; as the flames of his secreted laboratory went down, his body was submerged, fused with unusual swamp gasses and chemicals (and who knows what else), rising again as The Man-Thing! In reality, C. W. Ryder, who sponsored the ballistic armor material, offered $500 reward if Dr. Webber was capable of penetrate the fabric. For 4 a long time, Point Blank has helped shape major developments in the physique-armor industry. PM SEQ didn't at all times test the fitting measurement insert plates on about 30 % of assessments.
Some troopers did not wear the vest in any respect due to the stigma of cowardice associated with it and others complained the vest didn't fit comfortably underneath their uniforms. The federal government and most states —but not Colorado —have legal guidelines towards possessing body armor should you're a violent felon , or utilizing it to commit a criminal offense But these laws are poorly enforced or tracked. They are principally common jackets with ballistic plates manufactured from steel sown in back and front, with additional items protecting the buttocks and groin area.
Shortly after NBC ran its report on Nightly News Senators Hillary Clinton (D-New York) and Jim Webb (D-Virginia) known as on Comptroller General of the United States David M. Walker to initiate a Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigation to reassess the body armor techniques at the moment being issued to army personnel. Federal LE Plate Carrier: Is creatively designed to offer unmatched comfort, safety and flexibility to satisfy the wants of each mission. Some officers undo the side straps and take away the armor and carrier over their head like a pullover shirt. Dangerous counterfeit Point Blank body Armor vests were bought to unsuspecting shoppers.

Two Toddler Tuesday
I now know what it would be like to have twins for a day. I had the pleasure of watching my friend's son, Ryder yesterday. For the record, Ryder is an easy kid, just like Natasha. But, I was definitely pooped after having both of them for six hours. I managed to have them fed and down for a nap relatively close together. Natasha was easy and I put her down first. Ryder on the other hand didn't want to nap and told me numerous times that "he did not like to nap." I know for a fact that he still takes naps, so I was not going to let him win this game. I read him three books while he was standing in the pack 'n play. After the last book, I asked if he wanted to lay down and he said yes. So, Ryder went right down and I gave him his blanket and his bunny and he was out. Two and a half hours later they were both up and ready to play. Thank goodness we have that wagon because I couldn't imagine walking both toddlers across the street to the park by myself. They loved the wagon ride! Who wouldn't... snacks, water, company and someone pulling them around. Since both are not very fast yet, it was pretty easy looking after both of them at the park. We didn't stay long since it was pretty chilly out, so we came home to play. Then the chanting started... popsicles, popsicles, popsicles... I'm pretty sure Natasha started the chant and Ryder just jumped on the bandwagon. Okay, maybe there was no chanting and just a suggestion from our little hostess. However, I didn't want to upset them, since there were two of them! With popsicles in hand and a little Yo Gabba Gabba, these two little friends were quite content until Ryder's dad picked him up. Natasha was an excellent hostess sharing her home with Ryder for the day!

Two held in Congress leader's murder case
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Sunday arrested two people in the murder case of Congress leader Pavan Raje Nimbalkar, reports Manish Pachouly.india Updated: Jun 01, 2009 01:27 IST
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday arrested two people in the murder case of Congress leader Pavan Raje Nimbalkar.
Nimbalkar and his driver were shot dead in Navi Mumbai in 2006.
After the police failed to make a headway in the case, the Bombay High Court transferred it to the CBI.
One of the arrested has been identified as Mohan Shukl, a retired Central Excise official and BJP corporator from Dombivli.
The other is Satish Mandhade, a businessman from Latur.
Joint Director of CBI (West Zone) Rishi Raj Singh confirmed the arrests. The two will be produced before a Special CBI court on Monday.
Mandhade is known to be close to a very senior state politician who was recently elected as Member of Parliament. The senior politician is said to be the brain behind the killing, said a senior CBI official.
The CBI has already arrested two of Nimbalkar's killers.
Another senior CBI official, who is not authorised to speak to the media, , said on condition of anonymity that that Mandhade organised the Rs 30-lakh contract money to kill Nimbalkar.
The CBI had on Wednesday recovered the car used in the crime.

Latest Health Update for Jeffrey
I can honestly say, the past couple of months have been a roller coaster ride regarding Jeffreys health. In the past week, it has been a very huge decision as to whether or not Jeffrey should go on to Hong Kong or stay state side. He has been diagnosed with Cyclic Neutropenia. This is a very rare blood disorder. One in 1,000,000 people get it. The doctors do not know where Jeffrey got this, how he got this, why it manifested itself right now, and at this stage there is no treatment. There is no way to determine whether it will get worse, better or possibly even go away. Bottom line... there is just not a great deal of information. To simply summarize Jeffreys condition his white blood count is cycling low. His count cycles between 3.0 and 4.1 A normal WBC should range between 4.5 - 11.0. The biggest concern is bacterial infection of any kind. He has numerous symptoms. As a normal mother, I say kidnap him, bring him home and never let him out of my sight again..... If only it were that easy. AGAIN, we thank so many of you for your love, support, prayers, letters and encouragement. Jeffs parents, Jack and Nancy are amazing! Jeffrey is one loved grandson. Jack, also referred to as "pap", Jeffreys grandfather, has been unbelievable in helping us. If you have any questions about supplements or herbs, he is the man to talk to! ***Do you remember back in the beginning of this blog when Jeffrey started to have difficulties? I mentioned Bishop Larson. He was our Bishop in New Canaan. Well, he has been so instrumental in our families life, incredibly so with Jeffrey. He has continued to support, love and guide us every step of the way. He called his uncle. The first uncle was an Infectious Disease Specialist. He gave us wonderful insight. He then called another uncle. Elder Ballard. The list goes on as to the phone calls that have been made on Jeffreys behalf. To President Hinckley (the late Presidents son) a member of the Quorum of the 70 who oversees all missions, and to another specialist in Salt Lake City. Bishop Larson has spent days and hours in helping us to do what is best for Jeffrey. With a great deal of research into the medical situation in Hong Kong, and many opinions from several specialists, countless prayers and fasting, Jeffrey will be going on to Hong Kong! He will be leaving Utah on July 5th. Arriving to serve the people of China. He is about as excited and happy and anxious as they come! No need for anyone in Utah to go to Bath and Body Works.......I bought them out of all antibacterial products yesterday!

Find a Question:
Sony's Smart TVs of the years 2015/2016
receive Android TV 6.0
Sony is one of the providers of smart TVs with the operating system Android TV. Most of you will have come into contact with the operating system in the first place through the Nvidia Shield Android TV – certainly the most popular device with the OS. Before there was Amazon video as an official App for the Shield, however , came the unofficial app of a Sony TV . As far as the version of the operating system is concerned, Sony is however late. While the Shield, for example, since the middle of January Android 7.0 uses , even the first generation, the Sony TVs are still some of the Android TV 5.1 fixed. But this is finally to change from 22 February 2017 onwards.

Sue's Vanilla Ice Cream
2 cups half and half
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 to 2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix ingredients and chill several hours or overnight. Stir to recombine, and process in an ice cream maker until thick, about 20 minutes. ONLY POUR THE MIXTURE INTO COLD CONTAINER AFTER IT IS ASSEMBLED AND RUNNING. Place in a covered container and freeze to ripen, 4 hours or overnight. This hardens it and improves the texture.
1 quart
**If you like more of an ice milk, like my husband does, use 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and 1 1/2 cups whole milk instead of the half and half.
