This is a pfenning coin – the subunit of the Deutsche Mark (often referred to as the D-mark). Germany was split in two after World War II. One state was created from the zones occupied by the U.S., France and Great Britain. This was Bundesrepublik Deutschland – West Germany and it was here that the D-mark was the official currency. The other state was created from the zone occupied by the USSR. This was Deutsche Demokratische Republik – East Germany.
The two parts were separated for about 40 years and developed in two different ways. West Germany developed into a stable democratic country, even though they had problems with people who'd been part of the power during the Nazi era keeping high positions after the war. The same problem wasn't that present in the east, but there the population suffered hard from both economic problems and an undemocratic rule. The Berlin wall constructed in 1961 is the main symbol of the separation of these two countries. It stood as an example of the insanity that was the Cold war, and it wasn't until one wonderful night in 1989 that the wall was brought down. Sadly, walls are still being built…
The coin features a woman planting an oak three. The oak is a symbol of Germany and is featured on many different coins both from the D-mark and the euro. To me the woman planting the tree represents something new. It's a rebirth of a new country that rises from the ashes of the Second World War.
The D-mark also became the official currency in East Germany following the unification of the two countries in 1990. It was later replaced by the euro in 2002.

There are countless stories of man's encounters with large hairy humanoids stretching back through history, but this elaborate tale is notable for its ability to endure for more than a century. Coming in at No. 10 in our countdown is the story of Jacko, an ape-man allegedly captured by a crew of railway workers in British Columbia during the summer of 1884.
According to the men, they spotted a man-beast lying alongside the tracks as they passed through a rocky gorge. They stopped to investigate the creature and determined that it had somehow fallen from a cliff and was injured, but still very much alive. The men managed to capture the creature and force it onto the train. They took it into town and held it for several days in the local jail, feeding it berries as they tried to decide what to do with it. They named their captive beast "Jacko."
According to some, the legend of Jacko provides convincing evidence of the existence of Bigfoot. However, a news report of the incident published in the Daily British Colonist and uncovered by Bigfoot researchers in the 1950s suggests otherwise. According to the report, about 200 people visited the jail hoping to get a glimpse of the wild man once word of it spread throughout the region. Alas, there was no man-beast to behold. The erstwhile captors reported that Jacko had made a cunning escape from the jail just moments before their arrival. The townspeople were not sold, and neither are most modern-day Bigfoot enthusiasts.

[Bob] Yeah, they must have been.
[Mike] Must have been over here.
[John] They're saying one's right there.
[Man] Get 'em up. I think he just smells birds.
[Bob] Yeah, yeah. That covey was busting up, actually.
[Bo] See how it's spread out.
Yeah, yeah, I got some over there. Bo, some good shooting there, let's talk a minute. Face the camera there, Newt is getting us reoriented here I want to talk to you just a little bit about your passion for bird hunting for years. I mean gosh, we go way back together. Not only in the insurance business but the passion for quail hunting. And I know you've got a story to tell about that and tell all the folks out there just how you got here, your love for this sport.
It all started with my grandfather. I was eight, nine, 10 years old bird hunting. He had dogs, he retired early, he'd get me out of school, tell the principal I was going to the dentist. No, we were bird hunting, and did that, and that was just great, that started it all.
Well you know, Mike, and I tell ya, I so appreciate our business relationship with Dawson Taylor Insurance because again we couldn't do what we do without the backing and insurance that we get from you. Because unfortunately today, God forbid we'd ever have accidents, but you have to have that, and you do it so well. I mean, from a business relationship this is what you do.
I appreciate that Bob.
And you know
I enjoy what I do.
Well you do, and your advice, your consult on what to do and how to do it as far as that's concerned has just been instrumental to me over the years, and I gotta tell, folks, there's a story here behind this, why this guy is on the show today, Mike had the opportunity some number of years ago to order, to buy an opportunity, and win the chance to come and hunt with us on camera. So it's been a while, you just had hip surgery. You're doing good, you're getting back.
I'll move around but it's coming.
You are, but now you've got out in the field, and it's just an honor and a pleasure to have you out here.
Well it's just a pleasure to be here Bob. Thank you so much.
Well listen, let's go get some more birds.
Let's do it.
We're going to see how John does on the other wing over there, okay?
Let's do it.
Let's do it man, you ready John?
[John] Yeah!
[Narrator] Stay tuned after commercial break. We head back to Southern Woods for some more quail hunting on this week's, Bob Redfern's Outdoor Magazine.
[Narrator] Bob Redfern's Outdoor Magazine is being brought to you today by Chevrolet, the official vehicle of Bob Redfern's Outdoor Magazine, by the South Carolina agriculture department. It's a matter of taste, by Browning. Browning, the best there is. By South Carolina Embroidery and Screenprinting. And by the Wacca Wache Marina and Deck 383. Located on the Waccamaw River in Murrell's Inlet, South Carolina.
[John] I got 12 to nine.
All right.
[Mike] Dix. Dix, get a bird.
Man, that's pretty, look at Dixie. Whoa, look at that! They just didn't give us a chance.
That one had me twisted.
Those birds had us.
I did okay, and folks listen. When you're doing TV, and I know you're saying why didn't y'all shoot those birds that is what we call safety birds, okay. And there's no bird, no accident, worth a quail. So we're not going to turn around and shoot. So please, yeah, we do that for TV but it's for safety as well. There's more birds out there where that came from. We're at Southern Woods Plantation. You've seen this before, okay, and you'll see it again. There's plenty of quail down here to be had and we're going to do it. All right guys, I'm sorry, We'll get more.
We're ready, get a bird Dixie.
[Bob] Coming right back at us, Dixie says ain't nothing I can do about it, dad, look at that well, that's okay. At least we're getting some good quail flying footage. That's okay.
[Man] Another one in there.
[Man] Must be.
[Man] No. There it go, up! Ah, that's okay, they'll be there for another day. All right guys. The covey rise was good.
What we got?
That one, John, take it! There we go! Nicely done, nicely done. All right, before we reload and take the next shot, come talk to me now.
All right.
Now look, you're passionate for the outdoors, I know you don't get a chance to quail hunt that often, okay, when you do you're good at it, okay. But duck hunting is your passion.
But is duck hunting always been a passion for you?
Yes, I got it honestly, my uncle was a game warden and he drug me around since I was about nine, 10.
Well, you know John, you're one of our great Chevrolet partners. You guys provide all of those dealerships across the country, and yours in Dawsonville is kind of special, I understand. The way you've guys got that outfitted for the outdoors, being that's the way you are. Kind of describe the entrance to the dealership. When customers come in, what do they expect?
It's cozy. No, we like to think we're the fin, fur, and feather dealer for Chevrolet. We have a nice facility, 45 foot ceilings, fireplace, and animals.
Yes, got mounts all in the show room. I mean, that is really kind of special. I don't believe I've ever seen that before, okay, and that's just one of those great things. That's your passion.
A lot of people say that.
But they take it good, and its been real rewarding for us. And Chevrolet has been good to us, we're just great to be partnered up with them.
Well I just can't thank you enough for joining us today down here at Southern Woods, and this is your first place, first time down here being on the place. So we're going to talk more about that, because I want to get your feedback of just how great a place I think it is, but I want to get your take, but we got more coveys we gotta get.
Well, Benji has done a great job from what I've seen so far, it's just a great facility.
And you know, the birds are, they're tremendous. And it's just a wonderful place. We'll talk more about that in a little bit. I think there's some more birds we gotta get. All right man, all right guys, we're ready.
Get a bird, Meat.
[Bob] Nicely done guys, nicely done. I didn't have a shot but I think there's more in there. Get reloaded.
[Man] I got one down behind.
[Bob] John, that was good shot you had out there. Mike, that was a great shot out left.
[Man] It fell down when I shot it.
[Man] Come, come, good girl.
[Bob] Take it John. Good shot. Here we go. Hey I'll retrieve this one. Here we go. Get it Mike. You tapped him! There we go. All right. That looks pretty, boys. And then Meathead is ready to roll. Meathead. You gotta laugh, no, he doesn't look like no meat head. Look at him, hurting his feelings.
[Man] Come here, Meat.
Take him Mike. They're all about you Bo, Ha!
[Man] Sit.
[Man] Another one in there.
[Man] It came right back.
Get a bird, mate.
Take him John. Hmm.
[Man] Heel heel.
[Bob] Ain't that something, they all coming back to us.
[Man] Yeah.
[Man] Whoa, hey!
[Bob] Take him, John, yours now. Nicely done, good shot, good shot.
[Narrator] Coming up next we head to The Sportsman's Table at Deck 383 in Murrell's Inlet, for a South Carolina certified clam recipe.
[Narrator] The Sportsman's Table is brought to you by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture. Whether you live in South Carolina or out of state be sure to buy South Carolina grown meats, vegetables, and fruits, make sure your food is South Carolina certified. It's a matter of taste.
Welcome to this edition of The Sportsman's Table. Here we are at Deck 383 on the intercoastal waterway down in beautiful Murrell's Inlet, South Carolina. My chef and my guest host today is Chef Jermaine Olson. He is the executive chef here at Deck 383. Tell you what, you got to come down to Wacca Wacha Marina, check them out, we got another great recipe. Jermaine, man.
Thanks for having us in.
Good to see you again.
Now this is something kind of a specialty.
Yes, it's not on the menu, but we run a lot of daily specials, so I come up with all the kind of things, new, different, for the people.
Okay, well, tell me about this one, because, I'll tell ya, this one is kind of special, pay attention folks.
This is a special one, here, this is my clam casino, Deck 393 style.
Oh, wow.
We start out with some local clams, some sauteed onions and peppers, South Carolina certified grown. You got some bacon and some Parmesan cheese.
Okay so how does this recipe go?
It's real simple, you just bake clams in the oven, probably eight to 10 minutes on 350 until they open up. You want to keep the meat and the juice from the clams.
So I take the juice and I put it with the vegetables when I caramelize the onions and the peppers.
Just reduce that down a little bit, which is on the recipe. Just take our onions.
And peppers and we just top it off.
[Bob] Oh I gotcha.
[Jermaine] Yep, just top that
[Bob] Each little clam.
[Jermaine] Yep, just top it all, see you got the juice. I like using the clam juice, some people like using chicken stock or whatever.
[Bob] Right.
[Jermaine] I use the clam juice because it's the natural element of the clam.
[Bob] That makes sense, okay.
[Jermaine] I just hit it with that, Hit it with a little juice here. Then we're going to top it with your bacon.
[Bob] Gotta add bacon now.
[Jermaine] Can never go wrong with lots of bacon.
[Bob] Okay!
[Jermaine] Bacon.
[Bob] Wow, and you know you guys run a lot of great specials down here at Deck 383.
Oh yes, and everything we use is local and South Carolina certified meat–
Very good.
[Jermaine] And vegetables.
[Bob] Now, the plan for this, it's all ready to go, it's gonna go in the oven?
Go in the oven, pretty much in like, three to five minutes. Just want to let the cheese and the bacon melt into the clam.
And you're ready to go.
You're ready to go.
Okay, all right.
Simple simple.
[Jermaine] All right Bob, this is our finishing touch right here on Clam Casino at Deck 383.
[Bob] Wow, those things smell great, now you've got just butter?
Yeah, just regular drawn butter, but you can also use cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, garlic butter, whatever you want to dip your clams in.
Oh man, that's another great special here at Deck 383, Jermaine it's always a pleasure–
Bob, thank you.
To be with you.
I appreciate it.
I tell you, when you're styling and profiling, everybody gets a big grin on their face.
I hear you, I hear you.
Again that's another great recipe here at Deck 383 down in Murrell's Inlet intercoastal waterway, that's what you got to remember. Wakka Wacha Marina, come on down, eat fresh, buy local. Certifiedscgrown.com. Check out their website and see what's fresh on the menu for you, we'll be right back here again next week with another great recipe on The Sportsman's Table.

[John] He dropped that bird and he's going in there to flush him.
[Mike] Come here, Meat.
[Bob] Oh, we got down one more. I tell ya, they're flying wild this afternoon, man! They gotta be more in there, get reloaded boys. Nice shot John. Meat's in the water, That is a cute dog, Meat. I can't believe you named that dog Meathead.

I saw this list and thought I might share what I have thought to arrange for myself in the hopes that we can spark a really good discussion about different ideas and ways for people in different situations to cope with the new normal....
Home made soap – almost any seed oil will act as a displacement agent. Texture can be changed with various materials such as corn starch or fine sand. I went with stockpiling soap concentrates that need to be thinned out before use. I don't expect things like soap and laundry detergent to become scarce quickly.
DIY electric power – I chose thermo-electric, using peltier modules, copper plates and a stack of aluminium heat sinks. I will always have something to burn for heat and there will be plenty of cold air and water around to use as a coolant. No moving parts, nothing to replace and not dependent on weather conditions to use.
Water heating – I am just going to put a copper pipe filled with graphene (printer toner) in contact with my draft furnace exhaust pipe and pump the heat energy into a nearby tank of water that is raised above my bathtub and drains using gravity. Water towers still work... (copper conducts heat nicely, graphene conducts heat almost 4 times faster) Also worth noting: heat being conducted through solid metal doesn't care about gravity the same way as liquid or gas does. This saves on drilling holes and patching leaks later on...
Food dehydrating – The lamps I used for my indoor garden cabinet produce infra-red and plenty of ultraviolet a/b. The lamps kill off bacteria, viruses and insects so in addition to growing food, they can be used as "warm" refrigeration or a means of drying out food in a sterile fashion.
Food storage – after food is dried, some plastic containers will do nicely. My goal to produce fresh food all year round and not stockpile too much of it at all...
Solar Thermal gain – half-pipe mirrors are an excellent way to collect solar energy and concentrate the heat into a thermal mass. Fresnel lenses are also a great way to produce a lot of concentrated heat from sunlight, even enough heat to smelt, forge and cast metals including iron. A half-pipe mirror can be made of out cardboard and aluminium foil if needed and a fresnel lens can be created with clear plastic and enough water to form a half-globe sitting below the surface of the plastic. CAUTION : this is not the same as a magnifying glass.... this is more along the lines of a death-ray level of heat energy....
DIY Toothpaste – plenty of baking soda and salt on hand.... tastes horrible but works well.
Cold and Wet Weather clothing – Clothing comes and goes with time. Survival training in this category is more important than having a specific type of clothing. In order to stay warm, you need to stay C.O.L.D. CLEAN clothing is warmer clothing. Grease, oil (including skin oil) and other forms of soil will affect the article of clothing's ability to insulate. Avoid OVERHEATING as this produces sweat and skin oils which will quickly reduce insulation. Wear clothing LOOSE and LAYERED to trap air between the layers and to give yourself the option of removing layers or putting them back on as needed. DRY clothes are warmer clothes.... never try to stay in wet clothing in extreme cold.... you are better off naked with an emergency blanket against your bare skin while drying off your gear than to stay wet!
Harvesting seeds for sprouting – I am looking forward to learning more about pollination and collecting seeds. For the time being though, I am just concentrating of producing root crops that can be cut an inch or so below the foliage and replanted for a much faster crop than from seed each time. I have nearly 50 different varieties of heirloom seeds all tucked nicely away in my freezer in mylar bags. Even if my replanted root crops fail, I will still have seed to start over....
Water purification – distillation is the simplest means to get clean water and anyone who has two containers, one that is mildly heated and the other being cooled with a connection between them will be able to produce clean water this way. You can get higher quantities of water with greater heating and cooling levels but I don't recommend you do this for drinking water. Some chemicals found in our rain and groundwater can evaporate as easily as water at temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius.
Sources of fertilizer – I am using potting soil without any fertilizers and plan to use the forest as a source of fresh soil while dumping my scraps and bio-waste to replace what I take. I don't see much need to build a composting system where I live as I can find high quality soil by simply walking for 5 minutes in any direction I choose.... I may decide later to build a proper composting system after all the rules and regulations go out the window...
Technology – I have archived quite a bit of science and technology, how to videos and material properties guides and have an older smart phone that I keep the battery charged up but not connected to the phone. I made sure all the files I stored on micro sd cards can be read and used by the phone when needed. Bulk micro sd cards are only $15 for the 1TB size cards when you buy 10 or more.... They are small, portable, not sensitive to heat or cold (unless extreme) and as long as they are not connected to anything, they lack enough metallic surface area or wire length to be affected by even the largest scale EMP event which makes them a great candidate for permanent storage.

This is informative, thanks. I have to mention that I did just hear an interview with Andrew Taylor from SpudFit -- his gig is more about breaking food addiction than self-sufficient eating, but he DID demonstrate that one can survive on potatoes alone for a year.
That is a lot of potatoes.

Thanks again for getting me thinking on this track -- I included some thoughts in today's video (and gave you props!)Andy F wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 9:57 amI cannot see myself growing over 7,000 potatoes annually. I'm a Realist & somewhat analytical, these dietary specific needs could be looked at and addressed. Increased Fat intake is a desired energy source and pantry storage is easier and takes up far less room. Fat also burns hotter in a body, needing more fat intake during winter cold weather.

Vladimir Bogomolov, Andrei Konchalovsky, Mikhail Papava, and Andrei Tarkovsky (writers) [based on a story by Vladimir Bogomolov], Andrei Tarkovsky (director) Ivanovo detstvo (Ivan's Childhood) / 1962 /I saw this movie at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on January 23, 2010
In one of the most astounding film directorial debuts since Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, Andrei Tarkovsky startled the cinematic world with his first feature film, Ivan's Childhood, which won the 1962 Golden Lion in the Venice Film Festival.
In one of the most astounding film directorial debuts since Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, Andrei Tarkovsky startled the cinematic world with his first feature film, Ivan's Childhood, which won the 1962 Golden Lion in the Venice Film Festival.
As critics have pointed out, in this film we can already see many of the elements of Tarkovsky's later works: a detailed attention to nature, long focuses on isolate elements of a scene which generate a feeling of abstraction, and scenarios suffused with visual images that generate emotional and psychological reactions drawing the viewer into the frame or—as Bazin might argue—pushing the film from the screen into the real world.
From the very first frame of this film we already recognize its young hero as a ghost, a figure of another time, who has lost his way (along with his soul and sanity) in a cruel world from which he can no longer escape. Only in his fleeting dreams, or brief pauses to catch his breath in his run from German territory, does Ivan (soulfully played by Nikolai Burlyayev) get any respite from the realities of war and hate.
One of the earliest flashbacks in a film that one might describe as one long flashback into a series of fragmented worlds, is a scene where Ivan and his mother stare down a well. The light emanating from the bottom, clearly the reflection of the sun, they concur, is a star at the bottom of the well. Despite the dark terror of the deep, for Ivan, whom we witness in the opening shot trekking through the swampy waters of the Dnepr, water represents a living force, almost his natural element. At several points in his memories, Ivan is seen drinking from a bucket borne by his mother. Regularly the child calmly endures pouring rainfall. When he is finally brought to Lt. Galtsev (Yevgeni Zharikov) by Russian soldiers, Ivan's face is almost a shrine to moisture, he himself having been transformed into something close to a star at the bottom of a well, a face shining through the water.
Galtsev is about to dismiss the urchin, but with a determined insolence, Ivan insists that he call Headquarters, Number 51, and report that he has arrived. The man at the other end of the line, Lt-Colonel Gryaznov (Nikolai Grinko) demands that Galtsev give the boy a pencil and paper so that he can make his report. Galtsev orders hot water, tells the boy to strip, and helps to bathe him. The child, refusing food, finishes his report, chews a few bits of bread and falls asleep. Galtsev carefully tucks a cover around the child. Within just a few minutes h e has clearly fallen in love with the waif.
Like Billy Budd, Ivan is outwardly a sign of beauty and innocence, naturally drawing people to him; within, however, and unlike Billy, he has become a machine of hate.
We soon discover how this monster was created: his mother and sister have been killed by the Germans, and Ivan, joining the partisans, saw his new friends trapped and murdered. He has also seen, so he declares, the Maly Trostenets extermination camp.
In opposition to these realities, presented mostly in Ivan's dreams, are paradiscal memories, a ride on the back of a truck filled with apples, which, falling to the beach are joyfully gobbled up by horses. His sister and others innocently play hide-and-seek; Ivan thrillingly races across the beach.
Gryaznov and others try to convince Ivan to attend a military school away from the line of action, but he refuses, threatening to return to the partisans, and Galtsev and his soldiers are forced to take on the care and strategic use of the child.
Planning a surprise bombing of the German camp, Captain Kholin, Lt. Galtsev, and Ivan slowly retrace Ivan's former path of escape, the men at one point leaving Ivan to go forward on his own, while they return, bringing with them two hanged bodies of their men as they pass.
Perhaps the worst thing about being at the front line is the intense silences. In the middle of the film, Kholin and the camp nurse, Masha, play out a game of sexual advancement and retreat within a frighteningly still beech woods, the very silence of that place hinting at the danger in their game. Now, the silence Kholin and Galtsev encounter as they quietly return to their bunkers represents the failure of Ivan's grenades to have exploded. Despite their denials, they know, and we suspect, Ivan has been caught.
The last scene of Tarkovsky's painful love letter to a lost past, takes place in Berlin at War's end. Together Galtsev and another of Ivan's former military friends peruse the scattered files of those caught and executed by the Germans. On the floor they miraculously discover Ivan's file, noting he has been hung. Like so many of Tarkovsky's heroes, Ivan is a victim of borders, being a child without a childhood, a man without manhood, an innocent filled with hate, a lovely being killed before he could come into full existence.

Tyler, who stayed at Gwel an Mor last week, was a real hit with all the animals at the farm and should definitely pursue his dream of becoming a vet as he would be brilliant at it. Tyler kindly donated his holiday spending money for treats for the animals so we thought he would like to see some of the animals enjoying them.
Jack who was great friends with Tyler and who Tyler gave a ball is sorely missing his catch partner. In the photos Jack is playing with his ball (forgive the poor photograph but it was really difficult he moves so fast) Binky is getting a chocolate bone and Copper is having a smoked pigs ear which was a real hit.
Thank you very much Tyler and we all hope to see you again soon.

FLSA 2016 Archive - Human Resources at Ohio State
FLSA 2016 Archive
Updates in 2016 by the U.S. Department of Labor to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) expanded the number of employees eligible for overtime pay. Employees who make less than $47,476 per year in base salary are eligible to receive overtime pay when working more than 40 hours in a week, except for those excluded by the statute. Individuals who earn more than $47,476 may also be eligible based upon their job status.
Effective October 30, 2016, affected Ohio State employees changed from being exempt to non-exempt and became eligible for overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours in a week.
The final monthly paycheck for affected employees was October 31, 2016. The first biweekly paycheck for affected employees was November 25, 2016. The transition created a gap between the last monthly paycheck and the first biweekly paycheck.
The university offered a one-time pay advance to help bridge the gap from monthly to biweekly pay. The opt-in deadline was October 29, 2016, for participating in the pay advance.
Those who opted in are repaying the advance over six months through deductions from 13 biweekly paychecks. The final payment will be May 26, 2017. The advance is not taxed, and the university is providing this offer at no cost to affected employees. Interest and charges will not apply if the advance is repaid on time.
How do I repay the advance?
The advance will be repaid over six months through 13 equal deductions from your biweekly paycheck. This is an after tax deduction and will be taken after your retirement, taxes and health care deductions.
Can I repay the advance at an accelerated rate?
No, the only option to repay is via payroll deduction over six months (13 pay periods).
What happens if I leave the university?
If you leave the university (whether by your choice or through termination) before you repay the Payroll Advance in full, the remaining amount will be taken out of your final paycheck. If your final paycheck does not cover the remaining amount, you will have 30 days to repay the advance before the outstanding bill is sent to University Collections.
What happens if I change positions and go back to being paid monthly?
The outstanding balance of the advance will be deducted from your first monthly paycheck. If the net amount of your first monthly paycheck is insufficient to repay the advance, the university will deduct the remaining balance from subsequent paychecks until the advance is repaid in full.
What happens if I take an unpaid leave of absence?
You will be required to pay the remaining balance by May 26, 2017 — the same date that your final payment would be due under your original repayment schedule. If repayment is not received within 30 days of that date, the outstanding bill will be sent to University Collections.

Leopard Print Storage Bench – A shoe storage bench with seat and sliding doors for a home entryway may have more advantages than a normal bench or other shoe storage solution. This is due to several things which make it quite unique with all of the features and options that it's manufactured with. If a one piece shoe storage furniture option is what you need, this type of seat could possibly be the perfect match in your property.
A shoe storage bench for your entryway is ideal for this. If there's space in the front hall, a handy place to store sneakers is correct there as close to the front door because shoes are normally the last thing to be set up prior to leaving the house. Having a seat that also stores sneakers, this is just two pieces of furniture which were combined into one thus saving crucial space.
The look and feel of a piece of furniture must match your living room. This is the point where the different varieties of shoe storing solutions come into play such as the shoe storage seat with sliding doors. Like every piece of furniture, these benches come in all different wood stains in addition to colors and shapes. Finding one which matches the inside of your shouldn't be too hard. There are lots of brands and models from stores such as Target and Ikea which will offer you some great options and options.

The utility is one more thing which should be considered when choosing all-in-one alternatives for anything. It not only stores your tennis shoes, high heels and flip flops, but it gives a handy place to put the shoes on each morning and shoot them off at the evening. A wonderful wooden seat may add a wonderful traditional look or maybe choose a rustic stain for a vintage look.
Many people look for ideas to put away their shoes whenever they run out of room in the cupboard or under the bed. There are accessories which have slots for sneakers and other methods, but none of them are as trendy and useful since shoe storage benches. Because of the points discussed above, the best option for those looking for an easy and efficient solution for keeping shoes in the entryway of the home when maintaining a clean look and being helpful is a shoe storage bench with seat and sliding doors.

Of seminars and appams
Most of the city's respected names in the art forms stay at the Indian International Centre when they are in Delhi, writes I M Sahai.art-and-culture Updated: Jul 03, 2007 16:26 IST
A newsletter of the Indian International Centre announced that one of its members had passed away Boris N Yeltsin, the first President (199199) of the Russian Federation, was an honorary member of the IIC.
IIC to the aam janata and just 'The Centre' to its members' is a meeting point for the nation's intelligentsia. Aritsts, filmmakers, writers and drama directors from Mumbai stay there, if they can get a booking that is. Its residential rooms - simple but clean - are always booked up.
VIP list
President Abdul Kalam has been a member. Former Prime Minister Inder Gujral has been a habitué. Ditto Dr Manmohan Singh before he took over as head of government three years ago.
Taking cue
IIC was founded in end-1958 as a no-profit society at the initiative of Dr S Radhakrishnan and Pandit Nehru. They had got the idea from the American billionaire-philanthropist, John Rockefeller III, who had earlier funded a similar institution, the International House of Japan, in Tokyo.
A 76-acre, thickly-wooded site, adjoining the capital's historic Lodhi Gardens, was acquired; IIC was designed by the American architect Joseph Stein. Located on Max Mueller Marg, it has grown into a major cultural hub of the capital.
IIC currently has around 6000 members on its rolls, including about 300 corporate members. Mumbai has a fair share of its membership, the most visible being those connected with films.
The late Hrishikesh Mukherji stayed there during his visits to the capital. We would harangue him in his room on his favourite subject - the performance of our cricket team!
<b1>On an average day one can find , Shyam Benegal having a quiet lunch in the dining room, while Govind Nihalani sits down below in the tea-lounge in the company of young short filmmakers.
Gulzar has recited his poems here, Farouq Shaikh has held forth at a seminar on the 'Muslims as portrayed in Indian films'.
Kumar Shahani drops in when he is in Delhi. Shabana Azmi is not seen that often now..after her term as MP ended.
Sore thumb
Membership is a sore point with the power people. In fact, IIC was in the news recently for having refused to induct Laloo Prasad Yadav.
In protest, Dr Karan Singh, former President of IIC, resigned from the position of its life trustee. The board of trustees accepted his resignation with regrets.
According to the IIC's charter, its activities are mainly academic and intellectual, and have to conform to the stated aims to promote understanding and amity among nations through a study of their cultures.
Security of books
At its well-stocked library one can , run across the country's best opinion-makers, some with their heads buried in books and journals.
Former bureaucrat-minister Jagmohan, who writes mainly on urban development - as also on Kashmir (whose governor he had twice been), is a familiar figure there, while his commandoes loll outside (he gets Z-level security).
On any given day, IIC's slate of events could comprise a day-long conference, along with talks and discussions in its two seminarrooms, and a visual-art exhibition in its galleries.
The evening brings a cultural show -promptly at 6.30 pm - in its 240-seat auditorium.
It relents slightly in matters filmic: IIC has an active film club with a membership of over 1600. Indian and international films are the flavour here. No Lagaan or Rang De Basanti, despite their nationalistic fervour. No Spiderman either.
IIC is not the place for Genext (which has found the nearby India Habitat Centre more amenable and relatively easier to get into).
In fact, IIC has prescribed a minimum age of 30 years for its members, to maintain the right mixture of youth and age. Still, its membership has grown by almost 50 per cent since the last decade.
An annexe has come up on a nearby lot. The annexe's rooms are better-appointed, and it serves the best aapam (a South Indian sweet dish), this side of the Vindhyas in its eatery. Yet most members prefer to flock to the main building out of sheer force of habit.
A redevelopment of the centre's overall facilities is now on the cards, as it heads towards its golden anniversary, due less than five years from now.

Pearl Harbor
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Here is a copy of "The World at War" taken from newsreels and Japanese archive footage.
Veterans gathered to celebrate the anniversary.
We should always remember Pearl Harbor. We should always remember that the aftermath of Pearl Harbor created Japanese internment camps and the Korematsu decision. We must remember not to let our fear and anger over tragedy turn us into that which we claim to despise.

I've always been an avid reader… especially when I began going on long expeditions and needed to keep preoccupied during storm days, rest days, loss of sanity days. One of my favorite things to do, still, is going to the library and check out a book. It's like Christmas morning, especially if I'm fortunate to be the first to read a brand-new book they've just acquired.
The reason I've decided to start posting books I read is a selfish one. If this gets one person to put down their smartphone, turn off their laptop or TV, and sit for an undisturbed period of time to enjoy a good book, then it's worth it. The benefits are abundant.
Most books I read have been suggested to me by other readers, admirers, or in magazine reviews. Not every book I read I like… though a majority of those won't be posted because I just can't finish them… too boring and won't hold my attention.
Get outside, sit under a tree or pop in a tent, and read.

Creations by Lourd Ramos Salon in Greenfield District is a modern, quasi-chaotic, with Victorian laced mirrors, and area-separating dividers. They make use of the irregular shape of their unit. Upon entry, the staff welcomed me and immediately gave me a spot. I was the only guest at the time.
I came for their discounted promo from Deal Grocer: Repair Damaged Hair with Olaplex Mini Treatment for Php1125. It was supposedly originally priced at Php2100 (according to Deal Grocer), but staff told me it regularly costs around Php1400.
The process started with a proper hair wash. The treatment cream was then applied to my hair, along with a short, relaxing head massage.
Hair rinsing area.
I was offered water or tea but I declined as I was still full from lunch.
I was applied with Olaplex #2, which was the foam type.
Mini Olaplex Treatment: (duration: approx. 1hr)
- shampoo
- olaplex application with 5-minute head massage
- soak (30 minutes)
- rinse
- blow dry
- As for the effect, you would not see anything different aesthetically. Olaplex is designed to make hair stronger and healthier, not shinier or straighter.
- After shampooing at home, I noticed there were reduced hair breakage. I used to have clumps of hairfall during shower, a result of badly damaged hair from treatments by cheap salons.
- Anyway, I went to another reputable salon, Design Studio Salon in Greenbelt. The staff told me that Olaplex #2 will not do much improvement to my hair. I need to use #1 and #2 to experience Olaplex's effective promise of stronger hair. And I might just try that. Their cost for Olaplex 1&2 stand-alone/add-on treatment: Php1700.

The BMW F1 team (formerly Sauber) confirmed 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve will race alongside new-signing Nick Heidfeld in 2006.
BMW Motorsport director Mario Theissen said, "We took a close look at Jacques' performance levels last year. After an extremely tough first half of the season, which showed that even a former world champion can't come back after a period away and be competitive from day one, he got closer and closer to his teammate over the second half. We're in no doubt Jacques will make the BMW F1 team stronger."
"Between 1999 and 2004 [with BAR]," Villeneuve said, "I experienced firsthand the difficulties and complexities involved in setting up a new team, but I've never been afraid of a challenge. Sauber was already a good team and now we also have the resources of BMW behind us."
Petronas, the Malaysian state-owned petrochemicals company that branded Sauber's former Ferrari engines, signed
a new deal to sponsor BMW through 2009.
With Villeneuve locked in for 2006, BMW released Heikki Kovalainen from a provisional contract so he can become Renault F1's official third driver next season.
The young Finn, who was runner-up in this year's inaugural GP2 series, will replace long-serving Franck Montagny at the end of this month. Renault F1 principal Flavio Briatore suggested Kovalainen is "90 percent certain" to race for Renault in 2007.

These origami costumes are sending a message to the ballet: it's time to bend (and fold) the rules
In a world where dancers 'have to look' a certain way, these photos celebrate the beauty of diversity
On paper, it's a partnership that doesn't immediately make sense. Pauline Loctin (a.k.a. Miss Cloudy) is an origami artist and self-described "folding warrior." Melika Dez is a photographer, one who specializes in capturing dancers in action. And around this time last year, the Montreal-based artists began collaborating on something they call the Plié Project: an ongoing series of photographs featuring dancers from internationally famed companies, all wearing original, hand-folded costumes by Loctin.
"Paper is kind of fragile, but at the same time, it's a very strong material," says Dez. Beauty and strength and fragility, all in one: that's how you describe a dancer, right there. But who gets to be those things? What does a dancer look like? Those are the questions the Plié Project seems to be more interested in exploring.
Just look at this image, photographed in Brooklyn. Four ballerinas take formation. Each woman is unique, dressed in custom paper tutus to match the different shades of their skin, and they've assembled as a unified dance corps — holding strong against the wind that's blowing off the river.
In classical ballet, where uniformity is the rule, staging this picture is bit like throwing down a gauntlet. Or maybe a pink satin pointe shoe. Here's how Dez and Loctin captioned the photo when they shared it on Instagram last month:
"Strength in diversity. In a world where the ballerina 'has to look' a certain way, we decided to showcase the beauty of these unconventional but extremely talented dancers and break the boundaries of stereotypes."
Both artists have personal ties to the ballet, which partly explains their interest in the message. Loctin's previous career was in classical music. The ballet, she explains, was always connected to her work. Dez is a dancer herself, and as a photographer, she shoots companies around the world, including the Black Iris Project in New York City.
"In my work, I'm used to working with diverse people," says Dez. "There's a wave of change that is happening in the dance world and it was important to me to push it forward because I myself, I'm a mix."
The beauty of the project is we bring so many different people, different shapes, different skin colours [together].- Pauline Loctin, The Plié Project
Loctin's paper costumes gave The Plié Project a way of latching on to one of the movement's talking points. The things dancers wear — gear like shoes and tights — have arguably become the best-known symbols of ballet's inclusivity problem, especially as star dancers have shared their pre-show routines on Instagram, calling out dancewear companies in the process. The iconic pink ballet slipper is that colour by design — to suggest bare, extended limbs, an uninterrupted line. But of course, the illusion only works if the performers are white. Dancers of colour have been forced to custom-dye their shoes for years, and retailers have rarely offered any other option beyond "flesh tones" like pink and beige. And that's an insidiously subtle message: there's no room for diversity in the ballet.
Says Dez: "For us, it was very important to showcase that there is a paper colour for every girl."
"It was just an important message for me to put out there. For little girls to know that anything is possible no matter if they're Black, white, Asian, Latina — anything is possible. They can do whatever they want as long as they put their heart into it." But the rules need to bend. Or maybe "fold" is the better word to use, given the subject matter.
Most of the wearable sculptures respond to more than what's skin deep, however. They're reflections of the individual dancers wearing them, and the folded forms often respond to the photo locations, too.
Says Loctin: "You know, there are people I just saw them in some colours or shapes." One of her favourite pieces is this one, a metallic purple tutu for Angelique Laurin of Brooklyn Ballet.
"When I saw her I thought, 'I want to do a punk ballerina!' Because she has this attitude and she's got this short hair — she was amazing."
Loctin designed the works to be completely wearable (though some pieces were worn out by the end of a photoshoot). "It was a challenge for the dancers also. They were limited by the paper, but that's the beauty of it."
So far, Loctin and Dez have collaborated with 14 dancers, doing guerrilla photo shoots on the streets of New York, Paris, Rome and Montreal. The models are members of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ballet Hispanico, Teatro Dell'Opera di Roma, Montreal's Grands Ballets — to name just a few of the international companies they've tapped. (Dez says she scouts many of the dancers over social media.)
And four more cities have been added to the Plié Project's travel itinerary. Loctin and Dez say they plan to hit Havana, London, Rio and Tokyo in the near future. A photo book is also in the works.
Says Loctin: "The beauty of the project is we bring so many different people, different shapes, different skin colours [together]."
"I think it's the thing that brings the project so far everywhere in the world. People related to it very much."

29 December 2000
Chicago-based department store chain Montgomery Ward closed the doors of its 250 stores in 31 states yesterday and filed for bankruptcy after 128 years in business. Weak holiday sales were the final straw for the chain, now owned by General Electric's GE Capital. Two days earlier, Massachusetts-based discount store Bradlee's filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. It had 105 stores in seven north-eastern states and turnover of $US1.5 billion last year. Same-stores sales fell 4.4% in the year to November.
Sunrise Assisted Living Inc, of Virginia, has signed to sell nine communities containing 666 units for $US131 million to a limited partnership formed by Prudential Real Estate Investments (for Prudential, five pension funds, and Sunrise with 25% ownership and a long-term management contact). It has sold another two communities containing 133 units to Aureus Group LLC for $US28.1 million, also with a long-term management contract. Sunrise opened 27 communities this year, sold 22 for a total $US314 million, and plans to continue selling 15-20 a year. It operates 163 communities in the US and UK for 12,800 residents. Sales details show the Auereus sale averaged $US211,000/unit and $US176,000/resident, the Prudential sales $US197,000 and $US164,000, and the average overall was $US199,000/unit and $US166,000/resident. The details also showed debt on the Prudential properties was $US12 million above book value, but with a sale $US45 million above book value.
Ken Corp of Tokyo has bought the 400-suite Embassy Suites Lake Tahoe resort for an undisclosed sum, but will make the operation debt-free. The resort, managed by Hilton Hotels, opened in 1991. The previous owners filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1998.
Duke-Weeks Realty Corp and JP Morgan Investment Management Inc have put together an industrial property joint venture in the Dallas area containing 430,000m² in 29 buildings, five of them under development, and 67ha for future development of another 280,000m². The two partners entered a similar joint venture in 1995, and expanded it in October from a $US248 million venture to $US790 million.
The Reit Modernisation Act comes into force in the US on New Year's Day, cutting from 95% to 90% the minimum distribution requirement of a real estate investment trust's taxable income.
28 December 2000
Hotel group Hyatt Corporation is to get a 60-storey, 111,500m², $US350 million (total project cost) new headquarters at Wacker Drive and Monroe St, on the south branch of the Chicago River. It will be British architect Lord Norman Foster's first Chicago work. Construction should start at the end of 2001 and finish mid-2004. Hyatt and affiliates will provide 80% of the required equity and take up to one-third of the tower. The Hyatt-controlling Pritzker family's Pritzker Realty Group LLC has formed a joint venture with Prime Group Realty Trust, which will provide 20% of the equity, to develop the 5660m² site on a street which already boasts some of the world's most impressive examples of modern skyscraper architecture.
Mitsui Construction Co has decided to seek forgiveness of ¥163 billion ($NZ3.2 billion) of debt from 12 lenders. Its negative net worth totals ¥88.3 billion.
Another Japanese contractor, Kumagai Gumi, is still working towards agreement with its banks on a ¥450 billion ($NZ8.9 billion) request for a waiver. Its share price lifted 20% on the prospect of a decision from the banks, and the shares of its biggest creditor, Sumitomo Bank, rose slightly on that prospect. Sumitomo is owed ¥234 billion and Shinsei Bank ¥100 billion.
27 December 2000
Black Entertainment Television founder, chairman, chief executive and majority shareholder Robert L Johnson has celebrated BET Holdings II Inc's sale to media giant Viacom at the beginning of November in a scrip deal for $US3 billion, with assumption of $US570 million of debt, by buying seven Homewood Suites by Hilton properties for comparative petty cash — 989 rooms for $US95 million (at $NZ217,000/room). Mr Johnson is a director of Hilton Hotels Corp, which will retain long-term franchise and management contracts for all these extended-stay properties. The sale was to a newly formed entity, RLJ Development LLC.
Those mobile phone towers, that so concern environmentalists and people worried about radio-wave impacts, are worth a lot more than the heated air of a planning argument. Crown Castle Australia has just agreed to buy 669 of them from Vodafone Australia for $US130 million ($NZ440,000 each), with an option on another 600 over the next six years. The buyer is two-thirds owned by Crown Castle International Corp of Houston and one-third by Jump Capital, a New Zealand investment group headed by Fay Richwhite.
Associated Estates Realty Corp of Cleveland, Ohio, has continued its expansion out of the US Mid-west by selling two Ohio multi-family communities and buying a block of land on Florida's Intracoastal Highway at Boynton Beach where it will build apartments, a marina, parking and a small commercial component. The trust still owns 32,000 residential units in 135 properties.
The Turner Corp building index, run by the biggest building company in the US, will show a 1% fourth-quarter rise to 605 points after three 1.2% quarterly rises, putting US building inflation up 4.67% in 2000. Turner increased its construction turnover from $US4.8 billion in 1999 to $US5.7 billion. Turner was bought last year by Germany's biggest builder, Hochtief AG (which is also the major shareholder in Leighton Holdings of Australia). Ultimate controlling shareholder is the Rhine Westphalia Electricity Co, RWE.
US RealTel Inc has sold its 8870 North American sites to SpectraSite Holdings Inc of Cary, North Carolina, which now owns more than 30,000 communications sites, including 9000 mobile communication towers. SpectraSite provides shared antennae sites and outsourced network services, including owning rooftops.
KWI Property Fund I has done some more shopping to bulk itself up, without disclosing the details like price and return. Latest buys are two fully leased lowrise campus-style office properties in Austin, Texas, containing 11,200m². I questioned the reit's failure to disclose basic details a fortnight ago, without response. But the market has giving parent company Kennedy-Wilson International a hiding — its share price yesterday of $US4.12½ compares to $US7.62½ a year ago and a year's high of $US11.25. Total liabilities are 65% of total assets, the debt-equity ratio is 35%, and $US23 million of goodwill is the kind of intangible an outfit on the down doesn't need.
One of President Clinton's outgoing bill signings was the first increase in 14 years for the low-income housing tax credit programme allocation formula, which gives investors 10 years of federal tax credits. Under this formula, Lend Lease Real Estate Investments Inc, part of the Sydney-based Lend Lease Group, has structured $US2.8 billion of investments in 900 US properties. Lend Lease says the formula increase should allow an extra 30,000 units a year to be built, but the head of its housing & community investing group, Jenny Netzer, said government figures showed five million US households had worst-case housing needs.
RealEstate.com has been sold for an undisclosed price to Atlanta investment bank JP Carey, which manages assets and investments in small to mid-cap companies for institutions and welathy individuals. The website offers listings, valuation and credit research services. All the key executives have resigned.
Equity Office Properties Trust has sold the 86%-leased, 21,069m² 500 Marquette in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico, for $US21.7 million (at $NZ2328/m²).
National Residential Properties Inc, of Miami, continues full speed ahead on a development programme which it says should generate net returns around 35-37.5%. Its projects for the next two years include apartment blocks, a subdivision, condominium and a gated community, all around 60-70 units and in the $US7-10 million range.
Britain's second-largest supermarket chain, J Sainsbury, has concluded the long negotiations to sell the nation's third-largest DIY chain, Homebase, to Schroder Ventures for £416 million in cash and a deferred £75million. Sainsbury has a leaseback agreement on its £259 million of freehold properties, but has them earmarked for sale too. Another 28 development sites have been sold for £219 million to Kingfisher, owner of the B&Q DIY chain. Those deals are worth a total £969 million ($NZ3.25 billion), though completion of some may be drawn out.
British property group Delancey Estates, just under 50% owned by George Soros, will sell its four provincial shopping centres for £121 million ($NZ406 million), the Milner Estates business for £25 million to a 25%-management owned joint venture, and focus investment on central London's office and retail sectors. Delancey raised pretax profit for the September half-year by 58% to £3.9 million and earnings a share by 35% to 1.4p, but its shares are sitting on a 29% discount to the 139.5p net asset value, at 99p.

This next transcreated poem is originally by Reza Mohammadi, an Afghani born in 1979, who originally composed Smoke in Persian. From this point Reza himself & Narguess Farzad made English translations, which were then comblended into one by Nick Laird. It was from this last version that I made the Goethe-friendly poem you are about to read.
REZA MOHAMMADI: Smoke
Unto the man I would return
Who once inside my shirt did burn.
At each lip's precipice I fret
To find the voice I once did set
Down-dangling from a cigarette.
I ask the card-turn to unshroud
The revelations thro' the crowd
That sweeps aside bird, plant & cloud.
Carry off, great Lord, this flower,
To tables fill'd by my mother,
& to the house of my father,
& to the fish of the rivers
Whom, three times a day, take lovers,
Suicide's soft deliverers.
I'm six years old, care to buy bread?
What am I doing here, I said.
Carry my soul to the tented
Gypsy mystic, tinted, scented,
Take it to be finger-printed.
I'll never leave this street, y'know,
That named a missile long ago.
You'll see I only came to buy
Some rolls of bread – you'll see that I
Have seen exactly six years by.
Before the next man join'd my thread
Morning stopp'd gorging on his head,
& like this poem's folding, he
Was thrown, was caught, within old me.
Hey! This much wind my shirt won't stand,
We should not let this much cloud land.
The blacken'd body's shrapnel flew
Right back to eat, snack, feast on you.
Why should I be God's kick'd up dust,
I flow like ink from His fingers.
The broken lighters of his feet
Flicker & flare in mine like heat.
His heart a wet, spent ciggarette,
His mother's lashes crudely set
Inside his pocket, food for worms,
With sister's hair that fistfull squirms,
& those barb'd eyelids of his wife.
I wish somebody in his life
Had told him moons dont burst in flame
When clad in clothes by top brands made.
The one runs from me as he ran
From his ma's table & her pan,
Thus I would like to tell him this,
How poet's metamorphosis
Grows on lips like little roses
Caus'd by earth – which decomposes!
Even the river dodges me,
Even the doves take flight to flee
& all the Judas trees within
Are made of debris from this bin;
How was your face made up, I said,
What shade the scarf swath'd round your head?
Black-sooted in black suit I stand,
A dandelion in one hand,
Addresses I can't call to mind,
As on moth-wings descends dusts fine,
Dusts upon petals de-scend-ing –
Now I'm forgetting everything.

Employment and Identity
I have been on the academic job market since last summer. In a few cases, I managed to be a finalist for posts, but the reality is that the economy forced state and private universities to freeze hiring or even cut positions. However, since I completed my doctorate in May it is not as if I am a "stale" candidate, thankfully. I made the wise decision to search early and learn what universities need.
My ability to continue freelance writing is also a good thing, meaning I remain active intellectually instead of focusing only on the job market. I cannot imagine doing nothing but pursuing work -- it would definitely leave me more dispirited. Writing fiction is also a great outlet and holds some promise.
I am writing about employment and autism, a project I will post to The Autistic Place as the research and writing progress.
Work matters. I describe myself as a writer and teacher. These labels, for a variety of reasons, are my identity. If I were a parent, I'd probably list that as my most important role in life, but the vocational interests would remain important to how I view myself.
Not having a teaching job at the moment does affect me. I enjoy teaching about writing, design, programming, and more. I like to learn and teaching is a great way to learn. I view writing, even my fictional works, as a way of teaching others.
Some people with ASDs have told me they answer "What do you do?" in unexpected ways. One person with autism, who has a job, said the answer is "Play with my dog." I like that answer, since I love my cats, but I can see why that would confuse an employer. For a lot of people, that answer seems to downplay vocational identity. How important is this person's job to him or her? An employer might not be able to tell.
Work is important, even what one does is "volunteer work." We do identify and understand people by their daily roles. I'm wondering how my answers during interviews represent me to employers. Memorized answers do not work for me, though I have tried to calculate the "correct" answers to demonstrate who I am.
At least I know I'm far from alone on the job market.

I am leaving this country as soon as possible…
A thought that filled my mind for moments. I don't remember how many seconds or minuets or maybe hours I heard this sentence swinging between my ears, In that place where I used to have a clear brain and smart ideas while now it looks exactly like Damascus; a complex of unfitting elements and colorless buildings.
I am leaving… somehow somewhere. I only have this will now that is not figured out. It hit me just when I was running down the street of Babtooma (the old city) praying to god despite my agnostic belief to live one more day. I heard the noise of mortars near, I held my breath and held my friend's hand. She told me that's normal don't worry it always happens here. I looked around, the streets were not crowded as always and there were that girl wearing a summer hat and walking slowly like nothing is wrong and talking on her cell phone. we were about to go to the main street when a soldier ordered us to walk through another way and stay near the wall… that is when my knees became weaker … why near the wall, because it's safer. My friend kept telling me "that's normal, why are you afraid?" … I knew that was normal, I mean for god's sake we are in war and you never know when things can get crazy for five minutes and then it gets normal for the rest of the day… just five minutes that don't matter in a normal day, but it can make a lot of change in a country like mine. It's not that we make a big deal out of our time; we are people who can live ten years without changing our breakfast meal or the road we take to work, but seriously five minutes can matter more than ten years here.
While walking near the wall I told my friend "I don't want to die today, or any soon" she smiled, then we reached the main square, ran to a taxi and got away of this place. My friend laughed at me and said I am a rabbit.I thought to myself, seriously why was I scared! I wasn't like this before, it was just an ordinary mortar shelling like the normal days, but I am not the same anymore.
I realized that I want to live more and experience life… real life not this one I am living. I want to know how it feels to wake up and go to work not worried about which road has less snipers or less mortars.
How it feels to walk in a city that has no check points or soldiers.
How it feels to plan your vacation.
How it feels to stay out late in the night and be able to get back home without being worried?
How it feels to sit in a park and talk to a stranger without him wanting to know about your religion or your political views?
How it feels to take a photograph anywhere any time.
How it feels to be free, to be fearless, and to be light…
How to be happy… really happy without that deep deep feeling inside that something wrong may happen in any moment.
I always said; If you can't be happy here, you can't be happy anywhere, but everyone who ever knew me knows that I was never a sure person, never. But for now I want to leave and also I am not sure about that, not sure how, not sure when…

"I think we can go ahead and blame Google for providing faster-than-light info, and Facebook for inculcating most people's grandiose self-predications. And Instagram & Twitter? No comment. So, nothing is a secret and everyone is out there. Great."—F. Theresa Gillard
Status: Quo Minus
By F. Theresa Gillard
BOSTON Massachusetts—(Weekly Hubris)—9/14/2015—OK, my trusty readers (and other trusty strangers), welcome! Now let's be honest here. Having Multiple Sclerosis (my so-called blessing) sucks but, even considering my MS-scarred-brain status quo, I still find I'm smarter than most . . . which is truly scary, if also funny. Luckily for me, it all keeps me musing. My quaggy thoughts blaze right by most folks, but I'm about to share some of them with you anyway.
(Have you noticed how many times I've used the first person singular—like did you forget that this is Weekly Hubris?)
Seriously, is anyone awake out there? Most days, I am quietly thinking: I am surrounded by idiots. Simultaneously, the idiots are vilifying me, thinking she is such an idiot. Yeah, sure. Let's go with that, because the Lord knows that if their superannuated notions ever got above the clouds, we'd all be bored out of our minds. Don't act like you don't know any of these pompous jerks.
I think we can go ahead and blame Google for providing faster-than-light info, and Facebook for inculcating most people's grandiose self-predications. And, Instagram & Twitter? No comment. So, nothing is a secret and everyone is out there. Great.
These days, you'd do well to Google yourself regularly. Who knows what's floating around the Google universe? Hell, who would want to know? Why? Really, why would people care about what other people are doing, especially since they don't even remotely know them? Apparently, most want to know it all anyway.
Basically, I'm referencing cognizance. Is there any awareness without smart phones, tablets, Facebook, Google, Wikipedia, Ask.com, YouTube, and countless other at-your-fingertips options? Does anyone know how to write a check? I do, but I do admit I don't even know where my checkbook is.
Just line me up with the fuddy duddies. We didn't have Google, Wikipedia, or Dictionary.com. We had this thing called a library. A place you had to physically visit and use the card catalog to find stuff. This took a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours and days finding references and researching your subject. So that, by the end of it, you really did learn something. You couldn't help but learn.
Can you imagine a world without spellcheck, thesaurus, and undo? Those of us who lived back in that find-it-yourself world worked harder and gained more from the experience. We have more time these days, but what do we do with it?
Now, all of this tech-madness has led to several global misconceptions. I will gladly share these with you.
No. 1: You are not a genius. Your parents have been lying to you your entire life.
No. 2: You did not win. You don't always win. That trophy means nothing. Here's a rule of thumb: Did you actually come in in first place? If not, then you did not win.
No. 3: You do not rule the world. No one does, unless you are The One. Let me help you out here. You are not The One.
No. 4: Looks do count. A lot. A lot. This will never change, unless we are all clones.
No. 5: Wake up. No one owes you anything. Stop whining and go make something of yourself or . . . sit down and shut up.
No. 6: It is all about who you know or who you don't know. Get to know people. Like, listen to them (put the phone down!) and really get to know them.
No. 7: Just because you think it, doesn't mean you should say it. As a matter of fact, take some time to really think before you speak. Nine times out ten you won't need to say a thing.
No. 8: Are you serious? Right, I didn't think so (see No. 5).
No. 9: Your age is relative to a bunch of factors. Major one being, who you hang out with and who they hang out with. If they're older, you feel younger and vice versa.
No. 10: A little accountability will solve most problems. No, I mean you being accountable and taking responsibility for your own actions, not the other person. Pay it forward.
Now, listen. I've said all of that to get to this. Our heads are constantly filled with what's out there. It's thrust upon us and, mostly, it gets sopped up like my Mama's gravy. Listen and mark my words, it ain't Mama's gravy. The recipe is tainted. Not even a whisper is left. So, skip the gravy.
Skip it. Instead, pause and look around. Visit a library and park your own car. Take a good long look at yourself and fess up. Streak in your house (make sure you're home alone) and get dressed up. Take a nice meandering walk and reflect. Look into a child's eyes and see what they see. Put everything away that calls itself smart for an hour daily and see what happens. Admit a loss and celebrate a win. Live and let live. Give a sincere compliment and accept one. Step back, not up, or reverse it.
Otherwise, there's plenty of gravy out there. You may continue to sop it up with the masses . . .
