1 Benefits of Software as a Service (SaaS) Software as a Service (SaaS) may be defined simply as software applications deployed over the Internet. With SaaS, a third-party provider licenses an application to customers either as a service on demand, through a subscription, in a pay-as-you-go model, or at no charge when there is opportunity to generate revenue from other streams (advertisement). The primary advantage of SaaS is purported lower IT costs: smaller monthly fees to use the software, no internal hardware/software maintenance, and update/bug fixes automatically delivered. No hardware, no database servers are necessary for the software. Access to the Internet from PC clients does need to be provided along with secure firewalls and the usual infrastructure for Internet connections. Key Benefits of SaaS Lower IT Costs: Low cost of entry and potential lower total cost of ownership (TCO). When you subscribe to a SaaS application, you avoid the overhead associated with implementing conventional software. A typical software implementation involves purchasing and maintaining servers, housing them securely, and installing and maintaining the software. This requires the time and effort of experienced IT personnel and deflects the efforts of employees at a number of levels away from the core mission of your organization. More Powerful and Secure IT Infrastructure: Few organizations can match the infrastructure and security investments made by SaaS vendors. Economies Of Scale: Subscription costs for SaaS applications reflect the economies of scale achieved by multitenancy. Multi-tenancy means that many customers run their applications on the same unit of software. For example, in a SaaS website calendar application, customer data is all stored in one database. This makes the overall system scalable at a far lower cost. Pay As You Go: When you subscribe to a SaaS application, you usually pay a monthly or annual
2 subscription fee. Compared to a traditional software license, this subscription payment structure may work to your advantage. An on-going monthly expense is easier to incorporate into your budget than a large one-time outlay. You can cancel or change your subscription at any time without losing a large initial investment. In many cases, SaaS subscriptions are based on metered usage so you pay for exactly what you use. Rather than making a long-term commitment to one fixed account structure, you can add or subtract accounts at any time as your organizational needs shift. Save Time: Because you eliminate many of the typical implementation tasks associated with licensed software and because the software is already up and running on the SaaS vendor s data center, deployment time tends to be much shorter with a SaaS application than a traditional one. Focus Technology Budgets On Competitive Advantage Rather Than Infrastructure: When you subscribe to a web-hosted application, you free your organization from supporting high-cost, time-consuming IT functions, including: Purchasing and supporting the server infrastructure necessary to install and maintain the software in-house Providing the equipment redundancy and housing necessary to ensure security, reliability, and scalability Maintaining a labor-intensive patch and upgrade process Not Platform Specific: It does not matter whether the computer you are using runs on an Apple Mac OS, Linux or Windows as long as you are able to use a browser and access the Internet then you can use the software. This makes it far easier to switch platforms if you desire. Automatic Upgrades: You will always have the latest software version. The SaaS provider provides upgrades automatically and quickly makes changes if an error is found in the software. Access Your Data Anywhere: One of the greatest advantages of SaaS is the freedom it gives you in terms of when and where you choose to work. All of the data you use within the software is stored on the servers of the SaaS provider meaning you can log into your account wherever you are in the world and access it instantly. SaaS Disadvantages Unrealized cost savings Opex vs. Capex Implementation issues Limited customization Security concerns Licensing issues
3 Infrastructure issues Cost appears to be the primary driver for SaaS. Yet if a business hasn t made the necessary transitions with its people and processes within its corporate environment first, then it s probably not going to be more cost-effective. It s more effective once the people and processes have been prepared for the shift in the applications delivery model. That is painful and takes time. Moreover, there is controversy over purported SaaS cost savings considering capex vs. opex. Capex (asset is a newly purchased capital asset or an investment that improves the useful life of an existing capital asset) vs. opex (operating expense for normal business operations) is how compute resource is paid for by the consumer of those resources. For example, if one uses a SaaS service, payment is made on either a monthly, yearly or a highly granular level for the use of the resources either time (so much per server-hour) or consumption (so much per gigabyte of storage per month). The consumer does not, however, own the assets that deliver those resources. The third party SaaS firm owns the server, application and storage machinery. From an accounting perspective, owning an asset is considered a capital expenditure. It requires payment for the entire asset and the cost becomes an entry on the company's balance sheet, depreciated over some period of time. By contrast, operating expenditure is a cost associated with operating the business over a short period, typically a year. All payments during this year count against the income statement and do not directly affect the balance sheet. Depending upon the use scenario of the individual application, paying a yearly depreciation fee may be more attractive than paying on a more granular basis. Consider automobiles it's economically optimal to purchase a car for daily use in your home town, but cheaper to rent a car for out-of-town business trips. Some organizations find it very difficult to relinquish control or trust third parties to manage their applications and data. Some vertical markets require industry specific business applications for which SaaS solutions are not available. Organizations without clear objectives and defined business processes will be no better off with a SaaS solution than with an on-premise solution. Many SaaS providers are also stuck and confused about their software licensing models. This is a serious problem because old licensing models don t fit well with the cloud. As they transition to newer billing models, there is a great amount of confusion because there are so many different models.
4 Characteristics of SaaS It is important to ensure that solutions sold as SaaS in fact comply with generally accepted definitions of cloud computing. Consider three layers of cloud computing: SaaS (Software as a Service) PaaS (Platform as a Service) IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) Not all implementations of SaaS use all three of these layers. Depending upon when their solution was architected, some SaaS vendors may not conform to this latest version of the cloud. There are several SaaS offerings that do adhere to this structure. It is important to consider the PaaS supporting a SaaS offering. A good PaaS will help support the following features: Application design and development Bug and enhancement tracking Database support Security Versioning Customization Some defining characteristics of SaaS include: Web access to commercial software Software is managed from a central location Software delivered in a one to many model Users not required to handle software upgrades and patches Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) allow for integration between different pieces of software Where SaaS Makes Sense Organizations considering a move to the cloud should carefully consider which applications they move to SaaS. Candidates for an initial move to SaaS include: Vanilla offerings where the solution is largely undifferentiated. A good example of a vanilla offering would include where many times competitors use the same software precisely because this fundamental technology is a requirement for doing business, but does not itself confer an competitive advantage.
5 Applications where there is significant interplay between the organization and the outside world. For example, newsletter campaign software. Applications that have a significant need for web or mobile access. An example would be client relationship management and mobile sales management software. Software that is only to be used for a short term need. An example would be collaboration software for a specific project. Software where demand spikes significantly, for example tax or billing software used once a month. Note that SaaS offerings are evolving and include sophisticated business processes such as enterprise resource planning, enterprise content management, human resources and others. Where SaaS May Not be the Best Option Examples where SaaS may not be appropriate include; Applications where extremely fast processing of real time data is required. Applications where law or other regulation does not permit data being hosted externally. Applications where an existing on-premise solution fulfills all of the organization s needs. SaaS Vendor Due Diligence It is important to consider how SaaS systems are architected for SaaS delivery. Make sure the benefits of SaaS can be realized: lower cost of operation, lower costs for updates, ability to maintain your own custom code line, robust personalization capabilities, and ability to integrate to your other applications seamlessly. Most important is SaaS vendor due diligence when it comes to security, reliability, performance and availability. The vast majority of companies that have opened their doors as SaaS providers don t have the rigorous infrastructure and support structure in place. SaaS can work for some applications. Yet a better model may be the mixed private - hybrid cloud where the organization builds a private cloud and selectively outsources certain application services to a SaaS provider in the public cloud.

Hey there readers.
Between my wife and I working on the room in our house we call the library… building custom home made book shelves and other fun work, I have been distracted on weekends. And over the last two weeks I have not even been able to get online on my main computer, so I may be looking at getting a new one… I mean this awesome little beast still runs on Vista so…
Anyway. World Building, the 200 series is still in the works, I just have a few more important things in life that I need to work on right at the moment. Dont worry, I have not forgotten. Oh and there are reviews pending as well for games and supplements and a couple of rants I want to articulate.
So yeah, Gimme The Dice is still here, still alive, and all that good stuff. Sorry to make you all wait, but, life… yeah 🙂

That goes for you and your little dog too!
This post is for my neighbors. I am SO sick of people who think just because they have little dogs, they are exempt from the same laws that govern those of us with large and giant breeds. I know you think because your dog is smaller than mine, it's not going to hurt someone. However, I am tired of your dogs coming on my property, running my fence when my dogs are outside, causing them to bark up a storm and then they have to come in so they don't disturb others. I try to be a good neighbor to you guys. My dogs don't run loose, when they go outside I bring them in if they are barking too much, etc. Please obey the same rules as I do as they APPLY to ALL dog owners.

Steven Gerrard has revealed he has spoken to Jurgen Klopp about a coaching role with Liverpool.
The former England captain left Anfield at the end of last season to move to LA Galaxy - although he has since admitted he would have stayed on in a player/coach role, had it been offered.
With the MLS season now over, Gerrard has returned to Merseyside and maintained his fitness with his beloved Reds.
And the 35-year-old has claimed Liverpool are keen for him to return once his playing days are over.
"I'm not 100 per cent sure but I think it will probably be my last year as a player," he told the Telegraph.
"I have had a chat with Klopp. I haven't had an offer as such, but the club have let me know they are keen for me to come back but there hasn't been a conversation where they have said: 'We want you to do this, we want you to do that."
While it may appear a sketchy promise from his beloved Reds, Gerrard has warned clubs cannot afford to let their experienced players walk away and take up positions elsewhere.
He adds: "They should be getting offers they cannot refuse. A lot of clubs don't let it happen - they don't let players like that go. You see it at Manchester United with Ryan Giggs, Barcelona with Pep Guardiola, they say when you finish here, this will happen."
Gerrard says he is likely to be available in November or December 2016, when the next MLS season comes to an end.
And while he has aspirations to take a top job in the future, the midfielder admits he is "nowhere near ready for management".

It's been a while since I've been able to sit down and blog! I have so much to talk about! A few of you might have noticed that I have stepped back when it comes to my social life. I promise, it's not you, it's me- wait. Is this a break-up? Anyways, I have been discovering SO much in terms of my photography, and new ideas surface day-by-day. Recently, reality actually hit me that if I play my cards right (which I have full intention of doing), then I will craft what I love to do into almost full income within the next couple of years… and this excites me. It excites me because I'm taking a leap of faith and taking a plunge into an area that I never thought would be so huge in my life. Photography keeps me grounded. It's something that I love all aspects of: From the planning, to the trials and errors of poses, the post-editing… It relaxes me. Gets me out of whatever storm I'm currently in and redirects me towards a more peaceful shore. It makes me joyous to have a session coming up and to know that the rest of that day will consist of coffee, Spotify, and my computer screen with the raw images flashing, ready to be edited, critiqued and perfected (to the best of my current ability, I have such a long way to go!).
I want to say a big "Thank-You" to those who have believed in me from the first day I bought my first camera. For those who gave me tips, but especially the words of encouragement that I needed to keep at it. I was given the confidence that I needed to keep exploring and accomplished SO much in the first year alone. You guys have humbled me and have made me appreciate you all the more.
It is only March, and so far, I have officially been booked for 3 weddings, which has given me overwhelming joy. To some who are more advanced in their careers, they might think that's nothing, but for me, if I finish the year only having done 3 weddings, I can STILL say that it is more than the year before, which is an accomplishment all by itself!
Due to photography, as well as other life altering (and partly brutal) circumstances that have occurred over the past few years, and especially during the last few months, I have had to rediscover myself. It was inevitable, I had avoided certain truths for a very long time and ultimately, I had to make personal decisions for myself that stung at first, but was found to be well-needed and extremely beneficial for me. Through pain and tears, thought, and then second guessing conclusions, as well as the triumphs, I am redefining who I am and truly digging into what I wish to see from myself and this world. I have many goals that were not once there before, and my personality has almost taken a full 360 to get to the point that I have gotten to now in this journey, which I cannot regret in the least. I am very much aware as of recently that many had picked up on this personality change before I did, because for a while, I didn't see the change in myself that everyone else did. Many also did not know what to think of it, whether it was temporary, permanent, good or bad. When I first realized it, I didn't know what to think either, so you're not alone. I will tell you that IF you were/are one of the ones concerned, do not worry. I am fine, I will be fine and am steadily trying to work towards balance and overall life-stability. Of course, I lean on God during my troubled times, but I also have a very small , very amazing network of people who I trust to pick me up when I fall, and to help me unravel and understand some of what I might not see by myself. I am forever grateful for them and always have been.
So there you have it, an update from yours truly. I hope to blog a lot more over the upcoming months so stay tuned, as I figure out what God has in store for me in the months and years to come. I love you all(:

Although there was so much beauty in the snowy mountains in Vermont, this particular February (2013) had left me desparate to run away and hide. I announced to 3 of my 4 children that I was going to throw some things of Ben's (my youngest child) into the back of my pick-up and drive to California. Joshua, the oldest son, recommended a topper for the truck so I could lock it and not tempt someone to sell Ben's dj equipment. Good idea! I started to seach and make my plans for escape.
A few days later, Jesse, the middle son, said "I think you need a slide-in camper! Then you can take your time traveling and save some money." There just happened to be a camper warehouse between my house and Jesse's. I stopped in one day just to look…
So cute! SO EXPENSIVE!!!!! No way.
Then it was Jennifer's turn. She is my oldest and very much like myself – we are both drawn to unusal things. Jen showed me what she thought my answer to my delimma was. "It looks like a gypsy caravan!" I said.
You know how you don't hear a word for years and then it is everywhere – in the newspaper – songs on the radio – strangers saying it in check-out lines… well, gypsy was that word.
I started designing and dreaming. I bought the cheap version of the Vardo plans from Tumbleweed Tiny Houses for $30. But I really didn't want the camper permently attached. And it was a bit too tiny.
So then I ordered the $30 plans for the Don Vardo from Portland Alternative Dwellings. I studied the drafts and searched the net. I sketched and measured and taped out dimensions on the livingroom carpet. The dream kept growing stronger and crazier with each passing day.
I did make it to California that March… but I flew and took my sketch book with me.
The first step was the utility trailer. I originally wanted to build the entire trailer from scrap and recycled materials. After Joshua and I looked at several used trailers, he thought it would be a good idea to buy new since it would be the foundation. Determining the size was difficult. I had never towed anything but knew from others' experiences that it was difficult. I decided on a 5×10 trailer mostly because I preferred the 15″ wheels rather than the dinky ones on the smaller trailers..
Most of the people who have built similar trailers begin with removing the side rails and any flooring. After cutting off the metal ramp I decided not to cut off the rails only because the saw and cutting scared me. I thought maybe the sides and the flooring would keep the intergrity of the frame. If I ever build another – I'll remove the sides and floor.
The trailer was backed into a small space between my house and barn in April 2013 and there it sat… waiting for me. I would spend long hours just sitting looking at the trailer trying to figure out how to start. I was always Gary's building assistant. I would hold while he used the circular saw. I would hold while he screwed the sheetrock into place. I did do a lot of demolition on our old 1830's house. And I did do a lot of the finishing work – painting and clean-up. But never had used a chop saw or table saw or any of the many power tools Gary had collected over the 35 years of home and barn repair.
So I signed up for the Tumbleweed Tiny House Workshop that April in Boston. I was hoping for a hands on workshop but the presentation was by Ella Jenkins. Ella was so very inspiring and honest but she was young (I was 60) she had her father, a carpenter (I had no one – well, my 9 year old grandson, Noah, did help me on occasion).
Ella also played the banjo for us! Ella is such an amazing woman!!!
But there is sat. Day after day, week after week. I saw it every time I went to my kitchen sink. Could this really happen?
The summer of 2013 changed my life even more (if that was even possible). Joshua had been living with us for the past couple of years. So was Jennifer and her family – husband, Brian – 8 year Noah and 6 year old Kate. Joshua and Karly moved to California. Jen and family moved down the road about a mile. Even Jesse and Cassie moved from 8 minutes away to 2 hours away. I had been caring for Isabella and Jaxon since they were 3 months old. (Bella was now 4 and Jaxon 1 1/2) I went to Bloomington, Illinois to visit my Mom and family and when I returned I was alone in my house for the first time ever.
And so it began… I used Grace Ice and Water Shield on the deck of the trailer over the wood floor – it was leftover from when the roof had been replace a few years earlier.
I built out over the metal rails with 2x12s. I would rather have used 2x14s but they are only available from a mill and I should have gone to the extra trouble. By the time I put the wall frames up it only left 5'8″ as the width for the back beds. I am 5'5″ so it works but it would be a tight sleep for anyone 6′ tall.
My trusty companion, Brewster, stayed by my side during the entire project. When 5:30 or 6 pm would roll around Brewster would start howling and whining and demanding I stop for the day and take him for a w-a-l-k. By that time I was pretty tired and ready for a cold beer.
At every level I had to stop and figure out the next step since I couldn't wrap my brain around the 3-D and 2-D of my designs on paper. And since I really don't know anything about construction. At night I studied pictures on the Internet of various vardo building projects. The ones that helped the most were:
Just google gypsy caravans or vardo and you will be amazed!
The electric… oh, my! The more I read the less I understood. Jesse helped with the wiring and the breaker box. We put in a 15 amp (overhead light and outside lights) and a 20 amp (2 inside and 1 outside outlet boxes) breakers. If I need to run a small appliance – I can.
The side windows I bought and were extremely easy to put in. Unlike the back windows I bought at ReNew Salvage. The back windows were from an old built-in cabinet. Building a frame for them proved to be very difficult. They are still not right but they do keep the rain and snow out.
I found I don't know how to miter corners. But I am learning. There are more to do on the trim inside.
The flooring was leftover from a project at Jesse's old house. Not quite enough for the whole floor so I put cheap flooring under the beds. Eventually I hope to build some drawers for storage under the bottom bunk.
My imaginary deadline was October 2, 2013 – The Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival. I taught 5 workshops in 2 1/2 days and put another 24 spinners into the world of fiber.
The gypsy wagon was not complete but I decided it would be a great trial run. I filled the wagon with spinning wheels and wool and camping equipment and hit the road.
She towed wonderfully! Even on the mountain roads in mid-Vermont.
It was dry and cozy.
But a little lonely.
The beds went in and a counter after the festival. I then added a drop-down table (which I am not sure I will keep or reinvent) and a sink. The sink is a hand-thrown pottery bowl that was a barter with a wonderful Putney student named Brian. I spun and knit him a sweater. What a great deal!
As soon as the weather warms a little, I plan to begin work again. There is still some insulation and trim and a lot of finishing touches.
When the ice and snow melts, Brewster and I will hit the road. Be sure to look for us at your nearby campground.

It's no secret (to anyone who has read my posts) that I've been struggling a little with the whole visualisation part of my 100 day challenge! This is despite the fact that I'm already a quarter of the way into the challenge. I decided today that it was time to get some more help and the first place I looked was YouTube!
There are dozens of visualisation videos out there but a video by Bob Proctor resonated with me so this is the one I'll be sticking to for the next few weeks!
The video below is 21 minutes and 54 seconds long and it's more than worth taking the time out to listen to it. I sat on the tube this morning, put my head phones on, pressed play and closed my eyes. It seemed like only minutes had passed and it was already time to get off at my stop. I didn't notice or feel anyone around me – quite an amazing feat during rush hour in London town!
I felt calm and deeply relaxed. I even felt like at one point I had massive smile on my face. Proctor is good! He uses subtle hypnosis to get you to relax but the magic for me is in the way he guides you to visualise 'abundance' – whatever your definition of abundance is
I commit to listening to this video at least once a day for the next 21 days. I also think it's time I exercised my visualising muscles a little more. Yes, I have big goals as part of my 100 day challenge but I also need to work on the small stuff happening. Visualising that perfect parking spot, or the tube waiting for me as soon as I get to the platform… you know, the little things in life that make a big difference. I will of course keep y'all updated on my progress.
So, if you want an abundant future… give this video a go too and as always, I'd love to hear how you get along!

I'm writing this entry on my recliner at halftime of the Celtics-Heat game. The Celtics have looked terrible lately. Marbury needs to go to the gym and shoot 1,000 jumpers a day before he is allowed on the court again, he is killing us. Injuries have obviously been a huge issue, but I just don't see the same passion from this Celtics team, that I saw in their championship run last year. I really think they are not only a different team talent wise without Garnett, but energy wise as well. I like Bill Walker, but the guy fouls like no other. Last night he committed 5 fouls in 6 minutes of playing time. I didn't even think that was possible. I hope my boy Leon Powe gets back on the court soon too, because Mikey Moore can't stay on the court without fouling. In saying this, the Celtics can definitely turn it on for the playoffs. I think their championship experience from a year ago will be crucial in their run to title #18.
Now to my Final 4 Picks. Even though I never feel too confident when I'm filling out my bracket, this year was especially bad. I filled out two brackets and then tore them apart. Finally, I just said screw it and went with the first team that popped in my head. I don't have any major upsets, but do have VCU knocking off UCLA in the first round. I feel like that is a very trendy upset pick though, which usually means the favorite will win. As I mentioned in a blog earlier this week, I am doomed every year because I follow my heart instead of my head when I fill out my bracket. I always pick UNC, and usually pick other games according to what would make UNC's bracket the easiest. I picked UNC this year again, but the confidence I had a few weeks ago in them has dissipated because of the Ty Lawson injury. It's kind of amusing in a way that the entire Tarheel's championship run rests on a big toe. I hope they rest him for the opening game against Radford. If we need Lawson to win that game, we don't even deserve to win the title. By the way, if Radford does win that game I wouldn't be able to show my face for weeks. Not only would it be the biggest upset in tournament history, but my friend Mike Binns, who went to Radford, would never get off my back. Anyway, I wanted to pick some crazy team to go to the Final 4, but as I was going through the matchups I just couldn't see any team higher then a 2 seed getting in. I always pick according to how many rounds a team could go if they win. It's basically a risk/reward scenario. Is the risk of picking a #14 seed over a #3 seed worth it if all they do is win that one round. I would say no, so usually I stick with the favorites. After much debate in my head about who to pick for my final 4, I finally settled on UNC,Pitt, Memphis, and Lousiville. Really boring, huh? Here is my rationalization for it. I figure at least 2 of those teams will get in and usually that is enough to at least be competitive in a pool. I really could care less about losing 5 bucks in a pool as long as UNC does well, and Duke does bad. For example, I'm going to pick Duke to go to the elite 8 but will be rooting for them to lose from round 1 on. Also, since I'm hosting the work pool this year, it will look suspicious if I win. One more random rant. Has anyone checked out the Facebook bracket application? Say what you want about facebook, but they got it right here. I don't understand why they keep changing the layout of their site though. If it aint broke, don't fix it right? My bracket will probably be destroyed by Saturday afternoon but March Madness is still the best sporting event of the year. Whether you are a diehard college hoops fan, or pick teams according to their mascot, everyone gets involved, and isn't that what sports is all about? In this ultra competitive world we live in sometimes we seem to forget that at its core sports really is supposed to be fun.
Still no followers on my blog, but I've gotten a lot of positive feedback, so I don't cry too much at night. I'm going to Boston this weekend, but will try to fit in another blog before Friday. Speaking of Boston, this weekend is going to be ridiculous. I'm hanging out with my old college friends and it is a guaranteed good time. We are even going back to visit my old college Umass-Amherst. Seems like a long time since I was in college, but it was only 2 years ago. For anyone who is still in college, cherish those moments because your life will never be the same. I actually enjoy work more than college on a whole, mainly because I hated having to choose between beer and food. However, I do miss that free time that was so abundant in college, and so scarce in the real world. One more random thought, I figured out what I want to be today, a blogger for the Boston Globe. I won't stop until I reach that goal. Time to watch the Celtics hopefully pull off this much needed win. Hope you enjoy March Madness tomorrow. Good night!
This blog will chronicle my views on what is going on in the sports world, and any other random thoughts I think worthy of writing down. Hope you enjoy!

The fact that you would even write "if Radford does win that game.." makes me sick to my stomach. IF, what a horrible word, when it is used in the way.

Chart Industries (GTLS) shares were hammered during the downturn in energy and process industries but are already up about 4x from the early 2016 bottom as the company has benefited from recovering demand in natural gas processing and recovering demand for industrial gasses. Better still, not only has management expanded and diversified its business with the Hudson deal, management seems more interested in backfilling the service and aftermarket opportunities.
With the shares up so strongly (up 80% in the last 12 months), I'm not too surprised that I don't see a lot of low-hanging value here. There are still meaningful opportunities in LNG and I believe the market often underrates the company's core industrial gas business, but today's valuation looks pretty reasonable for a company that should generate mid-single-digit revenue growth and double-digit FCF growth over the next decade.

Moonsea: Shiminoseki
Military consultant for Lord Kyoji.
A small and quiet man, Miyoshi nonetheless commands enormous respect amongst the ranks of the Kolosari. His calm demeanor often confuses those who do not know him, for he rarely speaks and never expresses any form of emotion. His skill with his single katana and spear makes him a supreme warrior and his knowledge of tactics makes him a more than formidable commander. For any battle that must be won, Lord Kyoji ensures that Miyoshi is there.

You implicitly asked about the Gnostic experience. Let me say a few words. Modern philosophy, at least since Descartes, has often dabbled in Gnosticism, so you have no doubt read some more or less Gnostic texts, possibly without knowing it. Descartes is not a Gnostic, I believe, but he commits a fundamental philosophical error which paves the way for Gnostic experiences. Consider his famous cogito. He has replaced the human being's participation in the whole (cosmos) with a self-contained Ego. In reading his "Meditations," I keep wanting to ask, "What about reality? What about the whole cosmos? Why are you beginning with yourself as a separate being?" Once he has done that, he can "prove the existence of God," as he purports to do, but he is left with the famous "mind-body" problem. Beginning with the solitary ego, how does one "get out?"
As I read the great philosophers--say, Heracleitos, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus--I am ever being made aware of human participation in the mysterious whole. That is the ground for philosophizing: the "primary experience of the cosmos," of the essential oneness of all that is, an awareness that precedes the intellect's activity of making the proper distinctions. One of the most moving expressions of this essential oneness I came across some years ago in Plotinus, and when I read it to students, I could not contain tears. It is utterly beautiful. Remind me, please, to share the passage from the Enneads with you. It will "knock your socks off," using your phrase. The lover sees and experiences each and all in every being. That is not Gnostic, but mystical: the mystical experience of essential unity, a kind of "natural mysticism," or "cosmic mysticism," if we can coin that phrase.
Now, as for modern Gnosis, there are many examples, from Mary Baker Eddy (Christian Science [Gnosis]) to Emerson to a my own college-age dabbling, which I grow out of quickly. Consider a few formulations I came up with in my late teens, for they reflect what is probably a Gnostic experience: "I created I" was the earliest at 18. About a year later, I distorted the Platonic symbol of "the beyond" to "I beyond beyond the beyond." Note the break from reality, from common sense. I was playing, but the play was dangerous, and I realized it. The genius of modern Gnosis is without doubt Hegel. In the Phenomenology, he explicitly brings "God" into his self-consciousness. Rather than mystical union, he openly replaces any "divine beyond" with "human self-consciousness." in the long "Preface" to the "Phenomenology," apparently written last, Hegel explicitly rejects philosophy as "love of wisdom," and promises "real wisdom" (wirkliches Wissen) instead. That phrase expresses the move from philosophy as love to philosophy as possession of "wisdom." At the end of the "Phenomenology," after his long exegesis of his experience, Hegel concludes with the "Golgatha of God," of any divine being beyond human self-consciousness. The death of God is achieved speculatively not in a superficial way, but by drawing "all of the divine" into human consciousness. That is a magnificent expression of Gnosticism. Once that is achieved, how does one relate to reality? Hegel replaces man, God, consciousness with his "system of science." Extraordinary achievement.
As you know, Nietzsche rejected any attempt to provide a "system," and helped to reclaim genuine philosophy as anti-system, and for that I praise him highly. He knew that reality could not be reduced to a "system of science." But Nietzsche had his own games to play. As you probably know, his "philosophizing" radically cut him off from human contact, and he became utterly lonely and isolated. I cannot read Nietzsche without feeling his anguish, and wanting to befriend him. I love him, but he went down one huge "rabbit hole" to the point where he could not return. That is how I read his breakdown: it indexed a spiritual-mental collapse, not merely physical disease. In reading his works, I can see the extreme breakdown coming, as he divorces himself from one part of reality after another. Nietzsche is a delight to read, a first-rate intellect, but painful to read, too, when one sees what he does to himself. But in the process, he throws much light on modern biases, such as his attack on democracy and "the herd mentality," and so on. He would have detested the Nazi movement, but they used him, as you know, by bowdlerizing his works.
Now for a sample from "Thus spake Zarathustra," from the poetic "Night Song." I was mistaken. It is in Book II (section 9) of Zarathustra, not Book III. I type this to show you what is typical, or perhaps essential, in the Gnostic experience. Using Kaufman's well-known translation:
The Night Song
Night has come; now all fountains speak more loudly. And my soul too is a fountain. Night has come; only now all the songs of loves awaken. And my soul too is the song of a lover. Something unstilled, unstillable is within me; it wants to be voiced. A craving for love is within me; it speaks the language of love. Light am I; ah, that I were night! But this is my loneliness, that I am girt with light. Ah, that I were dark and nocturnal! How I would suck at the breasts of light! And even you would I bless, you little sparkling stars and glowworms up there; and be overjoyed with your gifts of light. But I live in my own light; I drink back into myself the flames that break out of me. I do not know the happiness of those who receive, and I have often dreamed that even stealing must be more blessed than receiving. This is my poverty, that my hand never rests from giving... Oh, darkening of my sun! Oh, craving to crave! Oh, ravenous hunger in satiation. They receive from me; but do I touch their souls?...I should like to hurt those for whom I shine; I should like to rob those to whom I give; thus do I hunger for malice. Such revenge my fullness plots; such spite wells up out of my loneliness. My happiness in giving died in giving; my virtue tired of itself in its overflow.... Alas, ice is all around me, my hand is burned by the icy.
Alas, thirst is within me that languishes after your thirst.
Night has come: alas, that I must be light! And thirst for the nocturnal. And loneliness.
Night has come: now my craving breaks out of my like a well; to speak I crave.
Night has come; now all fountains speak more loudly. And my soul too is a fountain.
Night has come; now all the songs of lovers awaken. And my soul too is the song of a lover.
Thus sang Zarathustra.

With just a month to go until polling stations open, we're just getting geared up for this year's local election.
This is the first local election since we started b31.org.uk and it's an important one – with the change of government at the last general election and many railing against cuts, how will this affect votes locally?
We will also have the chance to vote in a national referendum, to decide whether or not we should adopt and Alternative Voting system.
We'll be aiming to provide some useful information to help you to decide how to use your votes.
A full list of candidates was released today by Birmingham City Council and we'll be posting that shortly.
We'll also have information, opinion and useful links over the coming weeks. We'd love to hear your views so please join in the conversation!
In addition, we've stolen…. I mean, borrowed the brilliant "500 Words" idea from Stoke's Pits n Pots blog. We'll be inviting each candidate standing in Longbridge and Northfield wards to submit 500 Words describing themselves, why they're standing and what they would have to offer as a councillor.
We'll also be explaining the alternative vote system (attempting to!) and will be asking some local people and politicians to write us a few words on why they are supporting a Yes or a No vote.
If there is anything else you'd like to see here, or even contribute yourself, don't hesitate to contact us

Current Fashions and Crochet Edgings
|During a little window shopping the other day, I was struck by an elegant fashion trend. Have you seen the beautiful blouses edged and embellished with wide lace? The tops were simple, but the wide lace was intricate, definitely the highlight of the garments.
As I drooled, I realized how simple it would be to make my own. I could whip up a couple of yards of thread crochet lace and sew them onto t-shirts, skirts, blouses, or jackets. It would be so easy!
The first step is to find the perfect lace edging. It needs to be wide and detailed enough to make it the star of the outfit. Here are a few of the edgings I am considering. They are all from Top-Down Edgings with Kristin Omdahl.

Today I'm going through my picture files, getting ready to do a review of my favorite cards for 2013 and realized that I forgot to do a blog post on one of my favorite cards. I made about six duplicates of this card and included them with the last box that I mailed out to Operation Write Home in September.
This card was made using a retired "Stampin Up" stamp.

Applebee's is offering one dollar Bahama Mamas for the entire month of February
A popular food chain just made weekends a whole lot cheaper.
For the entire month of February, Abblebees will be offering Bahama Mamas for only a dollar, which basically means you can go out for some fun without breaking the bank.
DID YOU KNOW: These 52 celebrities don't drink alcohol
The drink — referred to as the DOLLARMAMA on the menu — contains a mix of white rum, pineapple, orange and lime juices along with coconut and cherry flavors.
Granted it's not a top-shelf cocktail like you'd get from a more high-end bar or club, but hey, a dollar is a dollar.
The drink will be available for ale from open to close for the entire month of February.
Take a look through the gallery above to see some fun cocktail to make at home in case you can't go out.

The Nature of Sociolinguistic Inquiry.
Sah, P. P.
Dissatisfied with the linguist's concentration on structure, sociolinguistically inclined linguists turned to anthropology to give an empirical orientation to linguistics. Almost at the same time anthropologists were trying to give a more theoretical orientation to their subject of study, and the structural methods was being sought as the remedy. The structural method, an invention of the linguist, was characterized by a shift from the study of conscious linguistic phenomena to a study of their unconscious infrastructure and from the study of the contingent to the study of the necessary. This shift has now been strengthened by transformational grammar with its realistic (as opposed to instrumentalistic) theory of language. In attempting to extend this framework to the study of sociolinguistics, the views of Itkonen and Derwing are examined and Labov's "socially realistic" method is analyzed. It is concluded that for a genuine sociolinguistic theory to be possible, the Chomskian notion of competence must be borrowed and enlarged in the manner of Hymes. Only an approach of this kind will ensure that the principles of structuralism can apply to the study of sociolinguistics, leading to what Hymes calls "the ethnography of symbolic forms."

Beliefs and Values
The human body requires oxygen to survive. This is why we continually manufacture red blood cells — to carry oxygen.

Branch B believes that our commitment to the ideals of B Corp align perfectly with the the goals of like minded companies, as well as causes and non-profits.

Le Presentation.
Tuesday, 18 February 2014 | 17:49 | 0 Words
(gambar ini dicuri dari uncle google. thankyou uncle :*)
Allahumabariklana .. Hehehe no lah gamba kat atas ni saje je nak bagi entry kali ni meleleh sikit (cewah!)
Seperti yang diceritakan dalam entry sebelum ni yang saya akan present malam ni emm presentation tu ala ala tutorial la kot sebab our gojes lecturer, Miss Najlaa, she's actually wants to see either we're able speaking english while doing something? (or not I'm not really sure actually hehe) Pastu si berlagak minah yang namanya Syahida ni pun menggatal pi volunteer nak present untuk malam ni . Sebenarnya saya nak lega awal awal takdela 'butterflies in my stomach' all the time kan hahah .
So I've decided to show them how to make a tiramisu :) So all that we need are
*300g Marie Biscuits
*250g cream cheese (I use the Philadelphia cheese)
*200ml whipping cream
*100g caster sugar
*250 ml hot water
*1 tablespoon of Nescafe powder
*a lil bit of grated chocolate / Milo
First, beat the cream cheese, caster sugar and whipping cream in a mixing bowl with electric beaters until soft peaks form. And then left aside .
Then, mix Nescafe powder with the hot water. Dip the Marie biscuits into the coffee mixture and arrange in the glass/tray (or any container that you used) .Spread the mixture of cheese that you had beat before on the biscuits. And again, dip the remain Marie biscuits into the coffee mixture and arrange them on the layer of cheese mixture.
Finish with a layer of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the grated chocolate on the layer of cheese mixture or maybe you can just use Milo (I only use Milo to save cost haha) or maybe for those who really love Oreo, you can also use it.
You have to refrigerate your delicious tiramisu for at least 4hours .
If you can spot any grammatical error, please leave your comment okay? Thankyou (:
-Good Luck-
