Adeste Fidelis
We would have been called innocent in 1966. Now I'd call it ignorant.
The first time I ever heard of masturbation, I was 13. I had been in a chat room and was dared to masturbate. I told everyone I was doing it, even though I didn't know what it was. A few minutes later I asked a 17-year-old guy who was also in the chat room; he told me what is was and how to do it. Later that night, at around 10 p.m., I went into the bathroom and tried it. I didn't understand the feelings it gave me, but I kept going until orgasm. No semen came out, and it felt painful to me. I promised myself I wouldn't try it again because of the discomfort.
Book report
Growing up in a fairly (or depending upon how you look at it, unfairly) religious family, I was extremely naive about many things. One of those things was my penis. I don't remember taking note of my penis before age 14 — seriously, it was there so I could pee. Then one day, at the small private school I was attending, a new student that year (with whom I had recently made friends) made an interesting gesture with his hand in front of his groin after saying a joke.
No need to wait
I guess it all started when I was about 11 years old. Although I had heard of it, I wasn't masturbating then, because I thought you had to have started puberty before you could get an orgasm. So I hadn't even tried it.
I began to masturbate at about age 11, mainly due to curiosity about my body that a number of guys have when they start wanking. I was sitting in bed and noticed that my penis had gone stiff. I began to rub it with the "fist" method, and a little later I had this intense feeling, my first orgasm. I rushed to the bathroom, thinking I needed to pee quite badly. I thought all these feelings I had were odd, and didn't think about what I had done for a week or two. At about this time, my friends had been joking about wanking, and I had no real idea what they were talking about.
Celebrate with champagne
I have been playing with my penis since I was a child. My mom told me not to put my hands in my pants, but she didn't tell me anything when I played with it during a bath or in my bed. My first embarrassing incident was at age 5. I stayed in a hotel with my grandmother, and I woke up with a strong erection. I grabbed it and just kept it in my right hand. Suddenly my grandmother started to get up and uncovered me, too, for a bit. She asked me what I was doing in my pajamas. I pulled out my hand and did not say anything. Fortunately she did not say anything more.
I was not one of those boys who just happened to discover masturbation on his own. I needed to be taught. Thank goodness I found a good teacher: My best friend in 6th grade taught me the fine art of masturbation.
Mystery of the Hard Penis
My first introduction to the wonderful world of penises and masturbation occurred when I was in 5th grade. I was toddling from my classroom out to the playground when my best friend yelled out my name. I turned around. My buddy was wearing a pair of loose-fitting sweatpants and he had a monster erection — well, monster by 5th-grade standards. "Hard as a rock!" he yelled excitedly. I smiled obliviously. What was that supposed to mean? The next morning, I asked my mom what it meant when my penis got hard. Predictably, she turned beet-red and told me to ask my father.
The maid's cart
From the days of early childhood, I can remember innocently humping pillows or playing with myself. I had no idea what I was doing, nor did I really care. All I knew was that it felt good. In kindergarten I can remember wrestling with the other kids and how good it felt when they would get on top of me and put pressure on my penis. At one point the neighbor kids and I would get together to show each other our penises. I am not really sure why we did it; it may have been simply because we knew we were not supposed to. I believe at age 10 I noticed my first semi-erection.
Renaissance paintings
My relationship with masturbation began sometime when I was about 10 or 11, although it had been developing for a while. I was in the 5th grade, and we had, after much anticipation and fear, completed the dreaded one-hour puberty class surprisingly painlessly. Though maddeningly vague and cutesy, it did, thankfully, explain to me what an erection was — a phenomenon I had experienced for years, and that I was wholly convinced was a freak mutation unique to myself.

Book Description
George Orwell's novels and essays are known to millions, but his character is an enigma: an intellectual, he continually damned intellectuals; a leading political writer, he was disgusted with politics; a combatant in the Spanish Civil War, he despised violence; and an ardent believer in socialism, he had contempt for most socialists. In this skillful study, an insightful picture of this paradoxical figure emerges

Naeem Khan's Spring 2010 collection came as a surprise to most; the evening wear designer is known for sending elegant and sophisticated cocktail gowns down the runway.
The theme of Naeem Khan's Spring 2010 line, described as "punk raj," saw another change—separates—composed of poufy, decorative, girly fashions as well as lucid, lascivious lingerie-exposing gowns.
Implications - The reinterpretation of classic, feminine styles is taking over the runways recently, serving as the backlash to the cold, hard, androgynous look that reigned supreme in the fashion world for years. Though today's woman is much more liberated than her predecessor, she still enjoys some girlyness every now and then--especially if that frilly style is updated.

Here, I present to you, a clear and detailed guide on how to create VMs [Virtual Machines] with different public IPs using your powerful dedicated server.
It'll be easy as long as you follow closely.
Overview [Final Result]
Step 1
Installing Windows Server 2012 to your dedicated server
- Download Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO here: Click Me
- Login to your IPKVM
- Select "Remote Control" and then "Console Redirection"
- Click "Java Console"
- Run the Java application
- Check the box and then click "Run"
- Upon successful launch/connection, go to Device > Redirect ISO
- Select the Windows Server 2012 ISO file you downloaded earlier and click "Open"
- While at boot screen, press F11 to open up boot device menu
- Select "Virtual CDROM"
- Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
- Follow and complete all the installation steps and you're done
For Other Dedicated Server Hosts
- Access your dedicated server and enter its boot device menu (Typically press F11 or F9 to enter. But if you are unsure how, please check with your host or their knowledgebase)
- Insert/Select Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO
- Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard [Not Core]
- Follow and complete all the installation steps and you're done
Step 2Installing Hyper-V
- Open up server manager and select "Add roles and features"
- Keep clicking "Next" until you get to Server Roles
- Select Hyper-V [In this case, I've installed it. Hence, I cannot install it again]
- Wait for the installation to complete
- If you installed everything correctly, you would be able to see this:
Step 3
Configuring Hyper-V
- Open up Hyper-V Manager and you should see this
- Right-Click on Hyper-V Manager at the left panel and then click "Connect to Server..."
- Select "Local Computer" then click "OK"
- At the right panel, you would be able to see this:
- Click "Virtual Switch Manager..." and then select "New virtual network switch". Choose "External" before clicking the "Create Virtual Switch" button.
- After that, give your virtual switch any name, as long as you can identify it.
- Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the newly created switch. (Please take note that your dedicated server would lose its internet access for a few seconds or more. Hence, if you are using RDP to access your dedicated server like me, do not panic if it disconnects you.)
- Now, you've completed the Hyper-V network configurations!
Creating VM(s) & Installing Windows on VM
- Getting back to the panel, this time, click "Virtual Machine..."
- Click "Next >"
- Give your first VM a name and then click "Next >" [I would suggest giving it incremental numerical names like 1,2,3,4,5... because it would be easier for you to identify it later on]
- Make sure that "Generation 1" is selected and then click "Next >"
- For the startup memory, it really depends on how much you wish to give it and how much ram does your dedicated server have. For mine, I set it as 1024 MB because my dedicated server memory is 32 GB
- For Network configurations, Select the switch which you've created earlier in STEP 2 [For mine, it is "Core" because I've already created it]
- Leave it as it is unless you wish to resize the virtual hard disk. Click "Next >"
- Select Windows Server 2008 SP1 ISO
- After that, double click that VM and you should see this:
- Click the Power ON icon and let it load until you see this:
- Here's the tricky part, because of some incompatibility issues, the mouse cursor would not work. Hence, you would need to do some keyboard acrobatics but NOT to worry, you would only need to do this part for the FIRST VM
Press TAB button to move the next selection or to the button
Press SPACE button to check/uncheck a checkbox
Press Enter button to submit
13. Click "Media" > "DVD Drive" > "Insert Disk...". After that, select SP2 iso then click "Open"
14. When the autoplay prompt appears, hit "Enter" and use the "keyboard acrobatics" to complete the installation.
15. After the installation and restart, you would be able to CONTROL it!
Configuring your first VM and cloning it
- Network Configurations: Now, right-click the network icon at your desktop tray and then click "Network and Sharing Center"
- Click "Manage Network Connections"
- Right-click Local Area Connection, select "Internet Protocol Version 4" and the click "Properties"
- For this step I need you to follow closely because it is extremely crucial.
IP address: 38.x.x.174 <- This is the PUBLIC IP of the VM which you have to change for every clone VMs
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 <- This is given by your host, if they did not give, try this
Default Gateway: 38.x.x.1 <- This WILL be given by your host. You need to fill it in.
After that, Select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and fill those in:
Preferred DNS server: 184.108.40.206
Alternate DNS server: 184.108.40.206
Now, I know that this is very confusing, but let me explain it to you.
For example, CloudSouth (My Host) assign me an IPv4 range [From 38.x.x.174 to 38.x.x.180], a total of 6 ip(s) which I bought from them.
On my first VM, I will set the VM's IP address as 38.x.x.174
On my second VM, I will set the VM's IP address as 38.x.x.175
On my third VM, I will set the VM's IP address as 38.x.x.176
and then so on and so forth....
Get it?
5. After configuring it, Click "OK"
6. Close everything and then restart your Virtual Machine
7. Now, you should be having internet access on that particular VM with the public IP you set earlier on
Before you continue, here's a great tip for you.
If you don't wish to install Firefox/.NET framework/Any other dependencies or programs on each VM repetitively, I would STRONGLY suggest you to install them on your first VM before cloning it because it will save you LOTS of valuable time.
- Select your first VM and then at the right bottom panel, click "Export..."
- Select the directory where you wish to save the exported VM files
- Now wait for a while.
- After it is being exported, click "Import Virtual Machine..." at the right panel
- Specify the directory where you saved the exported VM files then click "Next >"
- Skip Select Virtual Machine because you've got nothing to select. Now, for the Import Type, Click "Copy the virtual machine" and then "Next >"
- Nothing here, just click "Next >"
- Now, for this step, you would need to store the virtual hard disks in a separate directory like this: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\2\ C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\3\ C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\4\ for every new VM clones
- After setting the directory for the virtual hard disk, click "Next >" and then "Finish"
- Wait for the import to be finish.
- After that, run the VM and it will be exactly cloned at the point when you exported it.
- Do the IP configuration for the VM which I taught you earlier and then restart your VM.
- Repeat the cloning steps if you want to create more VM/VPS (But do take note of your harddrive space/ram and also the amount of IPv4 which you've bought)

So yesterday we staked our claim as a low volume blog. And then today we've got another post up. This is because it is time sensitive. It's Halloween adorableness and we wanted to get it passed along.
Found this pattern at City Craft. It is modkid sewing patterns by Patty Young, http://www.modkidboutique.com/. The pattern has great directions and how to pictures, so this post is less of an actual tutorial...and more of a "Look What I Did." :-)
My mom (known to Courtney and Chelsea as Grammy) and I made this dress together at her house. We dug thru her cabinets of fabric and found some good Halloween options. I should mention she has years and years and years worth of saved fabrics. Options are plentiful. We used the pumpkins for the top and 2 of the panels of the skirt.
To make the skirt the pattern calls for 6 strips of fabric 9" wide X 14" long. I decide to use 8 strips cut smaller...if you're a beginner, you might just want to stick to the pattern.
This is the skirt sewed together. We used 2 types of pumpkin fabrics and two black and white prints. If you're looking at it wondering how this is going to end up cute...just wait for it. It all comes together.
We sewed the shoulder seams together.
Next we added the sleeves. These sleeves are so adorable on little girls.
Bias trim around the neck. This is left over from the pink dress, but we had enough and it looked great with what we were doing.
Attach the skirt to the top.
Add bias trim to sleeve.
Bias trim for the bottom of the dress.
Make the obi (belt). The pattern has very good instructions for this. We didn't have ribbon for the ends so we used fabric.
Dress is ready to send to Heidi Sage to wear for the month of October.
And she looks adorable. And, yes, we're totally biased...but certain your little sassy britches will look just as cute.
Love my lil' "punkin",

Classic lens buyers guide
Camera Geekery /
by Bellamy /5 min read
Classic lens buyers guide
It is about time there was a classic lens buyers guide on the site. I have been meaning to do one for a while but always got sidelined. Now I have had the chance to recharge my batteries I have knocked up one for you. These are the things that I look at when buying a lens.
One of the good things about modern cameras (and even I will begrudgingly admit this) is that there are so many lens options open to you now. In the past it was that you were pretty much tied to one mount, unless you had some serious money and could afford the limited range of adapters. But times have changed and now with the M4/3 market in full swing it has never been easier or cheaper to put different lenses on your camera.
There are loads of different brands of adapter on the market now, some of them great, some less so. So nowadays you can pretty much put whatever you like onto your camera, and I have seen some pretty amazing things being put on to cameras. All those old Switar lenses, Olympus, Pentax and so many more fantastic lenses.
But there are so many different lenses out there it can seem a little bit daunting at first. I am not really going to tell you what lenses you should be buying ( I have done that elsewhere), plenty of other blogs have done that. I am going to give you some tips on what you should be looking for when you are buying a classic lens.
Check where you buy
Obviously the best way to buy a classic lens is to go into a store and check the lens out yourself, get a feel for it and check the condition. In a perfect world. But classic lenses are not everyday items for your local Jessops or Adorama, which leaves you with a few options. EBay being the most used (abused?) of them. If you are going to buy a lens there then you either need to trust the seller completely or be prepared to lose.
Forums, like Rangefinderforum, clubsnap, APUG and others are good places to find lenses. There are a lot of passionate photographers there who change their gear often and you can sometimes get a bargain. These also tend to be people who are not traders, so they are not looking for a large markup.
We have to mention Craigslist. You would have to be a bit mental to try this route though. But you never know, stranger things have happened.
Large online camera retailers. There are a couple of larger places that sell used gear and some of them can be very good (KEH comes to mind), but you have to be in the right place at the right time to get the good items.
Or through me. I can source most lenses, it just depends on what you want and the budget. Japan is a lens junkies dream. Click here to find out more.
Checking the glass
When you are able to check a lens before (or even after) purchase there are a few things you should be looking at in your potential purchase.
Before you even get the lens on a camera you should get yourself a light source (a pen torch is an excellent idea) and check inside the glass. With this you will be able to see any mould, haze or separation issues pretty clearly. None of these are deal breakers depending on price or the lens you are looking for, but you should be aware of them, especially if not mentioned.
Mould will look like spidery fingers across the glass and haze makes the lens all foggy. Sometimes you may see yellow lenses, this is something that you see with early lenses made from glass with Lanthanum glass. Over time the glass yellows because of the radioactivity of the Lanthanum in the glass. This is supposedly remedied by putting the lens in direct sunlight for a couple of hours, although I have never tried it.
A little bit if dust never hurt anyone, and is pretty commonplace on very old lenses, but a lot of dust is not going to work, so you should look out for that. And whilst you are there, check the lenses to make sure they are not scratched or chipped. Sometimes something looks amazing until you see the lens itself.
Separation can be a more serious issue. You might see tiny bubbles or air pockets as the lenses literally separate from one another. A tiny amount is not going to affect images, but a large amount will. And in general terms, separation cannot be remedied (it can on some lenses, but mostly it is not worth it).
Lens condition
Have a good look at the lens itself and see how it looks. Has it been through a war zone? Or kept well? These again are not deal breakers, but you should be aware of the descriptions used. Many people bandy about the 'mint' moniker without actually knowing what it really means. It doesn't mean scratched or marked in any way, it should be like a freshly minted coin, hence mint.
Check the focus and (if it has it) the zoom, make sure they are smooth and not sticky or slow. This can affect the value of a lens.
For me a major deal breaker is a dent of any kind on a lens. This means the lens has been dropped and that could signal the end of days for that piece of glass, even if it is not readily apparent.
Pop it on a camera
If you have access to the camera that the lens was designed for, all the better. If not then you should still get it on the camera. You do this to check everything is kosher with the lens. Check the focus (AF too if it has it) and the apertures. Are they clicking and tight?
If the lens has motors, now would be a good time to check them. If there is a squeak from the motor (especially on Nikon lenses) find another lens, as these can be incredibly expensive to replace.
This would also be a good time to gauge the weight and the heft of the lens. Some lenses become awkward when mounted (especially on cameras they were not designed for) and this may not sit well with you. Always give some though to the long term effects of using the lens.
Go and take some pictures
Now, after all this, take a picture. You should be able to see (presuming you are using a digital camera) the lenses characteristics immediately. If you don't like them then maybe the lens is not the right one for you. But that is part of the joy, finding different things until you get the one that is perfect for you.
If your lens has passed all of the checks then you should have a lovely new/old lens to play with.
Of course, if you don't want to go through all of this yourself then you can drop me a line and I will find the lens you want for you.

As someone who uses Craigslist often I wouldn't say you'd have to be "mental" to use it. The fact that you meet in person makes it better than eBay. Yeah there is risk but you just need to be smart about where you meet and have good knowledge of what to look for. I feel like outside of reliable online communities and brick and mortar stores Craigslist is the best place to go.
I have had nothing but good luck over Craigslist as well.
apug is best. particularly this guy 'nandemofoto'. sick japanese lenses.
Thanks for the post! I'm missing one thing: you forgot to mention sticky aperture blades. To verify if the aperture mechanism works correcty: on manual lenses, slowly operate the aperture ring several times all the way up and down and look if the aperture follows every step without any delay. On manual lenses with auto-aperture, a little pin on the mount must be pushed in to close the aperture and see the effect. While the pin is out, the aperture does not close. On more modern lenses with electronic aperture (and usually also AF), the aperture should be checked with the lens on the camera.
If anything sticks or is even a little bit delayed, don't buy the lens, unless you can live with fail images or it is worth up to 200 Euros of repair cost.
For now the most of my best business buying lenses (and cameras) was in the flea markets.
And one time from a personal acqauintance.

Breaking News: Israeli weapons used in massacres in S Sudan: UN report
Assault rifles manufactured in Israel were used by a South Sudanese government-supplied ethnic militia that allegedly massacred Nuer civilians in Juba at the start of South Sudan's civil war in December 2013, according to a leaked UN panel report.
Israeli weapons have also been seen in use in front-line areas later in the war.
The report by a UN panel that monitors the conflict in South Sudan for the Security Council blames President Salva Kiir and a "narrow circle of senior individuals in the military and security services" for "waging an aggressive war involving the targeting of civilians and extensive destruction of communities."
The report states that Israeli ACE rifles that came into the hands of the National Security Service, a security organ overseen by Kiir, were used in massacres in December 2013, which the African Union Commission of Inquiry says were perpetrated "pursuant to or in furtherance of a State policy."
According to the report, National Security Service Director General Akol Kur oversaw the arming of the 'Mathiang Anyoor' ethnic militia that was mobilized prior to the start of the war, providing to them the Israeli weapons. However, the report does not say whether the ACE rifles were obtained directly from Israel or via South Sudan's ally Uganda.
"In 2013, Kur bypassed Oyay Deng Ajak, then the minister for National Security, and went straight to the presidency to facilitate the acquisition of the Israeli ACE rifles cited in the Panel's interim report (S/2015/656). (These ACE rifles were handed out to members of theMathiang Anyoor from the Presidential Palace as they targeted Nuer in Juba in December 2013)," reads the report, a copy of which was seen by Radio Tamazuj.
Later in the war, a different kind of Israeli-manufactured rifle was observed in Upper Nile State, a front-line area where heavy fighting and atrocities have also taken place.
"The Panel has in addition identified Israeli Micro Galil rifles in Upper Nile state, which were sold by the manufacturer to the Uganda Ministry of Defense in 2007. The Panel has confirmed, based on multiple, independent sources, that following the outbreak of the fighting, these weapons were transferred to NSS in 2014," reads the UN report.
According to the government of Israel, Uganda did not request permission for this transfer. Micro Galils and IWI ACE rifles are widespread in South Sudan, where they have become known as Galaxies, especially in Upper Nile state."
The Ugandan government has not replied to a letter from the UN panel requesting information on these weapons sales or transfers to South Sudan.
The UN panel comprises five members: regional affairs expert Payton Knopf, humanitarian affairs expert Anna Oosterlinck, arms expert Lucas van de Vondervoort, finance experts Andrews Atta-Asamoah, and armed groups expert Klem Ryan.
The panel also cited Ukraine as a country that has exported weapons to South Sudan, including at least 830 light machine guns and 62 heavy machine guns exported in 2014.

Keen ramblers are being offered the chance to enjoy a walk around the beautiful Carsington Water while raising money for a good cause.
Derby Hospitals Charity has organised a sponsored walk around the reservoir to raise money for wards and departments at the Royal Derby and London Road Community hospitals and they are now looking for walkers to take part.
The 8.5-mile walk, on Sunday, 23 April, will see walkers using a level path heading through fields, woodland and villages alongside the reservoir.
Event organiser Kerry Brady said: "It is a fantastic opportunity to take in the beautiful sights of Carsington whilst supporting a worthy cause. There are some stunning views around the reservoir and it is the perfect chance to take part in some bird watching along the way or enjoy a well-earned picnic at the end of the walk."
The walk was last held in 2014, when hundreds of people strapped on their walking boots to support the charity.
Viv Jones, who works in the Trust's Elective Procedure Unit, is taking part in this year's event with three of her colleagues. The group, called 'The Royal Derby Fab 4', are taking part as part of their training for a five-day trek across the Great Wall of China later this year. "We need to get in all the walking we can," Viv said.
Members of the public, staff, supporters and dogs are welcome to take part in the walk. Entry costs £8, which will be used to cover the cost of the event. Walkers can set their own fundraising target at www.justgiving.com.
If you're interested in taking part, contact Kerry Brady on 01332 786445 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also register online at www.derbyhospitalscharity.org.uk/events.

This is certainly not your grandma's 'rabbit food'
Chicken doesn't grow in drive-through windows, said Gracie Cavnar, founder of Recipe for Success. Or vacuum-packed bags, for that matter.
Such lessons are among those pupils in a handful of HISD elementary schools are learning as part of a program about lifelong healthful eating habits.
Recipe for Success Foundation offers the hands-on pilot program during and after school to at-risk pupils and imparts information in innovative ways.
"We don't preach rote learning. We're making good, healthy food fun," said Cavnar, a resident of the Museum District.
As a mother and an advocate of "real food," Cavnar knows healthy eating habits can be ingrained into children's minds by changing the way they eat and teaching them in a fun way about their food choices.
To help make its points, RFS harnesses the talent of notable Houston chefs for its Chefs in Schools program. The chefs voluntarily teach monthly cooking classes in the schools. A recent menu, for example, had children help prepare baked chicken nuggets with homemade tomato ketchup. Students also grow food in extensive recipe gardens on their campuses.
"This is about lifestyles," Cavnar said. "It's about healthy eating." And balance, she added. "We have to eat."
Recipe for Success began as an initiative of the Cavnar Foundation in 2000 and became an independent foundation in 2005. The organization helps fight childhood obesity by changing the way children eat. Its programs focus on helping elementary school children appreciate and understand the importance of the foods that they choose to eat.
Cavnar calls this approach a "seed-to-plate curriculum."
Currently, Recipe for Success is working with five HISD schools, including MacGregor Elementary and Rodriguez Elementary schools.
While the pilot program winds down this spring, the organization has several related projects in the pipeline.
"The next step is making our program available to a wider variety of schools" and training more facilitators, Cavnar said.
Steps are being taken to collaborate on a similar curriculum for older students, she said.
In the next 18 months, the foundation expects to complete a nutrition education center, located downtown, with extensive gardens and teaching kitchens that will be available to children on a field trip basis.
Also on the drawing board is a television show for children about cooking, co-hosted by Randy Evans, executive chef at Brennan's, and five children ages 7 to 12. The program's title is under development, Cavnar said, and the format is a little like "Zoom," a popular children's show with many segments of information and activity.
The cooking show's young hosts will cook and also visit gardens, farms and the kitchens of famous chefs.
Later this month, Recipe for Success kicks off its fundraising series called "We're Cooking Now: A Gala in Small Bites." These private dinners for up to 200 guests feature the finest of local chefs and are hosted in neighborhoods throughout Houston, such as River Oaks and Bellaire. Attendance is by registration online.
For program information, to volunteer or to register to attend a dinner fundraiser, call 713-520-0443 or visit recipe4success.org.

A STRESSED teacher from Ainsdale drank half a bottle of vodka before driving her car to the shops.
Ruth Ambrose was three times over the limit when her red Hyundai slammed into two other cars on Liverpool Road.
And after the hearing at North Sefton Magistrates' Court, Ms Ambrose told the Visiter she wants to warn people against the dangers of drink-driving.
She said: "What I did was totally, totally wrong and I realise that.
"I regret everything that I did and I could have really hurt someone."
Ambrose, of Sandbrook Road, Ainsdale, had tears in her eyes as she pleaded guilty to driving a motor vehicle while over the limit.
Members of her family sat at the back of the court to offer their support for the 41-year-old.
Angela Conlan, prosecuting, said that, on Wednesday, April 30, Ambrose had hit two cars. Although one driver signalled her to stop, she carried on.
A motorist called the police and Ambrose was later arrested by police.
Ms Conlan said: "The defendant had clearly been drinking and there was a strong smell of alcohol."
Ambrose later admitted to police that she had drank half a bottle of vodka several hours earlier.
Michael Braham, defending, said: "Neither vehicle was seriously damaged.
"She was probably no more than half a mile from Sandbrook Road to the shops at Ainsdale."
Ambrose has worked at Balshaws CE High School in Leyland for 18 years and had a good character reference from headteacher Jo Venn.
Magistrates banned Ambrose from driving for 28 months and she was given a year's supervision requirement including a drink-drive rehabilitation course. She was ordered to pay £65 in costs.
Ambrose said she had 'slipped up' on that day and was stressed from working hard as a school teacher.
She said: "I have never drunk and driven in my life. That unfortunate day I was so wound up because I didn't want to stay off work – and the kids were coming up to their GCSEs.
"It's all the extra work that is put upon teachers these days and it gradually wore away at me.
"I regret what I did and I know it was wrong.
"You should never touch a drop of alcohol and then drive."

Cleveland Museum of Art
|The Cleveland Museum of Art
|1913 (Officially opened in 1916)
11150 East Boulevard
Cleveland, Ohio 44106
|art museum
|William M. Griswold [1]
The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) is an art museum situated in the Wade Park District, in the University Circle neighborhood on Cleveland's east side. Internationally renowned for its substantial holdings of Asian and Egyptian art, the museum houses a diverse permanent collection of more than 43,000 works of art from around the world.[2][3] The museum has remained historically true to the vision of its founders, keeping general admission free to the public and with a $600 million endowment it is "one of the wealthiest in the nation."[4] [5]
"For the benefit of all people, forever."[6]
The Cleveland Museum of Art was founded as a trust in 1913 with an endowment from prominent Cleveland industrialists Hinman Hurlbut, John Huntington and Horace Kelley.[7] The neoclassical, white Beaux-Arts building was constructed on the southern edge of Wade Park, at the cost of $1.25 million.[8] Wade Park and the museum were designed by the local architectural firm, Hubbell & Benes, with the museum planned as the park's centerpiece.[9] The 75-acre (300,000 m2) green space takes its name from philanthropist Jeptha H. Wade, who donated part of his wooded estate to the city in 1881.[10] The museum opened its doors to the public on June 6, 1916, with Wade's grandson, Jeptha H. Wade II, proclaiming it, 'for the benefit of all people, forever.' Wade, like his grandfather, had a great interest in art and served as the museum's first vice-president, and later as president in 1920.[11] Today, the park, with the museum still as its centerpiece, is on the National Register of Historic Places.[12]
Mid to Late 20th Century Expansion
In March 1958, the first addition to the building opened, doubling the museum's floorspace. In 1971 the museum again expanded with the opening of the North Wing. With its stepped, two-toned granite facade, the addition designed by the Hungarian-born modernist architect Marcel Breuer, provided angular lines in distinct contrast with the flourishes of the 1916 building's neoclassical facade. In 1983, a third addition was made to house the museum's now expansive library, as well as to provide sufficient space for nine new galleries. Both the 1958 and 1983 additions, however, would be demolished to make way for the museum's largest expansion to date, a glass and steel structure designed by award-winning Uruguyan architect, Rafael Viñoly.
Expansion in the 21st Century
The museum's building and renovation project, "Building for the Future",[6] began in 2005 and was originally targeted for completion in 2012 (now 2013) at projected costs of $258 million.[13] The $350 million project—two-thirds of which is earmarked for the complete renovation of the original structure—will add two new wings, and is the largest cultural project in Ohio's history.[6] The new east and west wings, as well as the enclosing of the atrium courtyard under a soaring glass canopy, will bring the museum's total floor space to 592,000 square feet (55,000 m2) (an increase of approximately 65%).
While the first phase of the project cost saw $9.3 million in cost overruns and pushed back the initial reopening by 9 months, (then) museum director Timothy Rub assured the public that increase in quality would be worth both the wait and expense.[14] In June 2008, after being closed for nearly three years for the overhaul, the museum reopened 19 of its permanent galleries to the public in the renovated 1916 building main floor.
On June 27, 2009, the newly constructed East Wing (which contains the Impressionist, Contemporary, and Modern art collections) opened to the public.
On June 26, 2010, the ground level of the 1916 building reopened and now houses the collections of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Sub-Saharan African, Byzantine, and Medieval art.[15] The expanded museum includes enhanced visitor amenities consisting of new restrooms, an expanded store and café, parking capacity increased to 620 spaces, and a 34,000 square feet (3,200 m2) glass-covered courtyard.
Wade Park
Wade Park includes an outdoor gallery displaying part of the museum's holdings in the Wade Park Fine Arts Garden. The bulk of this collection is located between the original 1916 main entrance to the building and the The Weathermen),[16] the statue has been left in its unrestored condition. The reasoning for not repairing it stems from the involvement of Rodin in its original casting and the damage—which is notated on the plaque mounted at the base of the statue's pedestal— has come to define the casting as unique among the more than twenty original large castings.
The Cleveland Museum of Art divides its collections into 15 departments including Chinese Art, Modern European Art, African Art, Drawings, Prints, European Painting & Sculpture, Textiles & Islamic Art, American Painting & Sculpture, Greek & Roman Art, Contemporary Art, Medieval Art, Decorative Art & Design, Art of the Ancient Americas and Oceania, Photography and Contemporary Art. Artists represented by significant works include Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Christo, Anselm Kiefer, Ronald Davis, Larry Poons, Leon Kossoff, Jack Whitten, Morris Louis, Jules Olitski, Chuck Close, Robert Mangold, Mark Tansey and Sol LeWitt, among others. Under the leadership of director David Franklin, the museum has adopted one of the more staunchly pro-collecting stances among American museums.[17]
Ingalls Library
In addition to its comprehensive collection of fine art, the Cleveland Museum of Art is also home to the Ingalls Library, one of the largest art libraries in the United States.[18] As part of the initial 1913 plan by the museum's founders, a library of 10,000 volumes was to be assembled, to include photographs and archival works. By the 1950s, the collection of books alone had surpassed 37,000 and the photographic collection neared 47,000.[19] Today, with more than 431,000 volumes (and 500,000 digitized slides), renovation of the library space was one of the focal points in the museum's $350 million expansion.
Selections from the permanent collection
In June 2004, the museum acquired an ancient bronze sculpture of Apollo Sauroktonos, believed to be an original work by Praxiteles of Athens. Because the work has a contested provenance, the museum continues to study the dating and attribution of the sculpture. In 2011, Michael Bennet, the Greek and Roman arts curator, announced that he had dated the piece to 350 B.C. to 250 B.C.[20]
The museum is especially strong in the field of Asian art, possessing one of the best collections in the U.S.[2]
In 2008, the United States Postal Service selected the Cleveland Museum's famed Botticelli painting entitled Virgin and Child with the Young John the Baptist as the Christmas stamp for that year.[21]
Frans Hals Portrait of Tieleman Roosterman, 1634.
Francisco de Zurbarán Christ and the Virgin in the House at Nazareth, 1631–1640.

The Cleveland Museum of Art also maintains a schedule of special exhibitions, lectures, films and musical programs. The department of performing arts, music and film hosts a film series[22] and the VIVA! & Gala[23] concert series, which brings creative energies of internationally renowned artists into Cleveland.
The department of education[24] at CMA creates programs for lifelong learning from lectures, talks and studio classes to outreach programs and community events, such as Parade the Circle",[25] Chalk Festival[26] and the "Winter Lights Lantern Festival".[27] Educational programs include distance learning,[28] "Art to Go",[29] and the "Educator's Academy".[30] The museum is also home to the Ingalls Library, one of the largest art museum libraries in the United States with almost 431,000 volumes.[18]
Under the leadership of director Robert P. Bergman saw annual attendance rise from more than 400,000 in 1993 to more than 600,000 in 1999.[31]
In 1958, a $35-million bequest by industrialist Leonard C. Hanna Jr. vaulted the Cleveland Museum of Art into the ranks of the country's richest art museums.[32] Today, the museum receives operating support from the Ohio Arts Council through state tax dollars. It is funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture. The museum derives around two thirds of its $36 million budget from interest on its endowment, which was reported as $750 million in 2014.[33][34] From a fund of $277 million, the museum draws out about $13 million a year.[35]
The museum has also taken an active role in presenting music concerts and lectures. These include performances by the Cavani Quartet, Alisa Weilerstein, and commissions for new works of Philadelphia composer Joseph Hallman among others.

"Living on the road is hard. Dying on the road is really hard. But leaving the road? Now that's impossible"
A life on the road is always a fascinating life.
Those who truly live out there (out in the great 'there' that surrounds us all) necessarily have less regular routine and more regular unique experiences.
That is the blessing of the road, a blessing which some struggle with, but one I refuse to call a curse. It is a blessing; even when you are suffering – it is a blessing.
When you are lost and in pain and bleeding – it is a blessing. When you are alone and cold and scared – it is a blessing. When you don't know how you're going to get back to civilisation, and whether you even want too, it is a blessing. It is a blessing, now and forever, it is a blessing.
Many true road folk would rather die than retire from their nomadic purity.
To 'go static' in the vernacular of the road, to plant your feet down heavily and hang up your wandering boots, to turn your back on the wind and the rain and the sun and the glory and make your self still. To stop. To stop after a lifetime. To stand still and stop. That's tough.
I travelled North Recently, up Yorkshire way.
I stopped in the rolling hills to pay a visit to a set of sited static caravans stashed away amongst the green. I was there to visit an old friend who had retired from the road, left it after being one of the most embedded road dogs I had ever met.
This guy embodied the damn road completely. He was the road. But no longer. He had decided that he wanted to try comfort, try routine. He wanted to see out his days static. And that is what he is doing.
I am envious of him in some ways, he is gaining a new perspective on life in his last days. Perhaps he is the one acting without fear by leaving the road. I suppose the true embodiment of the life I wish to lead is following your feelings and following your instincts, whether that leads you along the road or off it…

11/21/2008 02:01:00 PM | Posted by Cooking Confections | | Edit Post
For a short of period of my life, I lived with my grandmother, Granny. She was a big influence in my life, especially in her love of food. She was an amazing cook. Every year at Christmas, she made the most unbelievable fudge and sands (now called Mexican Wedding Cookies).
I have yet to find or duplicate the recipe for the fudge, but I did find the recipe for the sands.
When I first made them, I miscalculated the amount of butter and had to add a stick of melted butter at the end to make the dough come together. A disaster that turned out to be the better way to make these cookies. I have tried them with the proper amount of butter as the recipe indicates and the way that I initially made them. I also have added the rice flour to the recipe. Anytime I want a cookie that is a bit crispy, I add rice flour.
As it turns out, the disaster way is the best method. I am sharing with you the best method recipe.
- 1 stick soft butter
- 1 stick of melted butter
- 8 Tablespoons of sugar
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 Tablespoon of Rice Flour
- 2 Cups Chopped Pecans
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
Place softened butter and 8 Tablespoons sugar in the bowl of mixer. Beat together until incorporated. Add flours nuts and vanilla. Beat at slow speed until this comes together. Add 1 stick of melted butter. Mix just until incorporated. Roll into small balls and place on baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
Bake 25 - 30 minutes or just until they start to brown. Rotate sheets half way through baking process. Remove from oven and immediately sift xxx sugar over the top.
Makes about 6 dozen. Store in airtight tin.

Deputies have a vague description of the suspects, so they're urging residents in the area to be viligant because they're considered to be armed and dangerous.
Harris County investigators say the armed robbery at the Atascocita Walmart may have been an inside job.
"To see if these two suspects had any type of information that came from inside the store that only employees would know; that's certainly one of the angles that our investigators will be looking at," Harris County Sheriff's Office Deputy Thomas Gilleland said.
Two men armed with a long gun and a rifle walked in at 11pm, the exact time when employees take the cash from every register and put into one cart.
"As they were doing this for each cash register, the two males entered the store," Gilleland said.
The robbers -- wearing cloths to conceal their faces -- made off with a large amount of cash in just a few minutes. Shoppers are now concerned about their safety.
"Well I've seen cops on every block basically and I didn't really know what was going on until we came up here to Walmart and we saw like four cop cars blocking off the entrance," shopper Charles Hines said.
"I am always watching behind me, in front of me, around me. I'm always watching my areas, never leave my back to a door," shopper Kristi Wittman said.
The men took off in a 1995 or 96 white Ford Taurus with a handicapped placard. They headed into the Eagle Springs subdivision, and that's the last place deputies say they saw them.
"It's just unnerving," another shopper said.
Walmart issued the following statement about the robbery:
"We're thankful no one was hurt and we appreciate the quick response of police. We have provided information ... and will continue to assist them in their investigation."
Anyone with information about this robbery is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477.


text: It's been a long time since I saw a film as emotionally touching as The Fountain. To be honest, it's been a long since a film actually made me shed a tear. A thousand year story that encircles love, life, death and our re-birth, it is beautiful in every single way. I have always been a fan of Darren Aronofsky's Pi and Requiem for a Dream, but in my opinion this is his best film to date.

(London East End, July 1931)
An Oxford bullnose car stopped in the middle of the tarmacked road, engine rumbling still, as though its driver is undecided which way to go. A strangely dressed man climbed out, 'please wait for me, I shall be back in an hour,' he requested the driver as he opened his umbrella. For a moment he stood there adjusting to the chilly morning drizzle. The driver's hand jutted out pointing to a narrow cobbled lane. 'Thank you,' he nodded and began walking briskly in that direction with a thick bundle of papers stuck securely under his arm.
Rachel's, a sooty grey board announced the café. He stood at the entrance hesitating for a moment, 'May I come in?'
'Surely, Welcome to the Rachel's,' a lady in long-skirt and headscarf appeared. 'The place is empty, rather early you know, you may choose any table,' she said trying not to stare at his attire – homespun dhoti and a crisp white shirt tucked in, combined with a woolen coat and a tilted side cap – unusual for a customer of a café in predominantly a Jewish neighborhood.
'It's not as empty as you think, Rachel,' a thin young man in his late twenties shouted from behind a copy of 'Labour Leader' he was reading. 'Of course you've stopped noticing me nowadays.' He folded the paper and rose from the table.
'Put on some weight, Eric, for anyone to take notice of you.' She said without turning and asked the new customer, 'Something to drink?'
'Yes ma'am, a hot cup of tea should do for the moment, please'
'I see you are from India,' the young man proffered his hand, 'I'm Blair, Eric Blair, also from India, in a way… I was born in Bengal, you know… and let me guess… you're from Madras, aren't you?'
'Yes sir, I am from Guntur in the northern districts. My name is Satyanarayana Chaudary.' They shook hands. 'I have come here to meet Mister Brockway.'
'Oh! That makes us two. Let's sit there and wait for the old boy Fenner, meanwhile I may catch up on some news from India,' he propelled Chaudary to a corner table. 'And, what brings you here, sir?'
'I am a plaintiff in a case, sir, coming up at the Privy Council,' Chaudary replied.
'A court bird, eh?' a smirk appeared on Blair's face. It was no secret that more than two thirds of the cases at the queen's council are property disputes from India.
'Nooossir,' Chaudary raised his voice defensively. 'I am an activist and it is the case of the Gandhi Cap.'
'Oh so sorry,' his apology was genuine.
'You see sir,' Chaudary removed the cap and turned his head to show a livid scar on his forehead stretching all the way to his left ear. 'It is a gift from a policeman for wearing the cap.' A subtle blush on Blair's face had come and gone unnoticed. 'I had fought in every court in India to lift the ban and I was turned down. Your imperial government has given me no choice but to come to the capital. And… to cap it all, none of your so called representatives of the people is ready to listen to the Indian question… except Mister Brockway.' Chaudary let out his steam.
'Satyam Gaaroo,' Fenner Brockway announced himself with a loud bellow as he pulled a chair next to Chaudary, 'Looks like you had spilled all the beans to this policeman here,' he said lightheartedly while shaking hands with Blair. 'This man is an officer of the Indian Police, you know?'
'Not anymore, old boy, dengue did me in. Now I'm just an unemployed hop picker, thanks to your government,' Blair said nonchalantly. Eric Blair had left the Indian Imperial Police Service due to ill health and was now pursuing a career in writing which wasn't taking off. Archibald Fenner Brockway was the Member of Parliament from Leyton East and the secretary of the India League, known for his strong pro-independence position. His recent monograph on 'Indian Crisis' had drawn Chaudary close to him. Chaudary had made the Gandhi Cap issue his personal campaign and requested Brockway to take it up with the Prime Minister, Ramsay McDonald.
Tea and biscuits made many rounds while Chaudary pleaded his case vociferously.
'But your cap has become a symbol of disobedience to the crown,' Blair, who was a silent spectator until then, butted in.
'Yes, it's an instrument of protest. We are subjects of the crown and the ban on Gandhi Cap curtails our right to protest, peacefully, doesn't it? Where is your so called British fair-play?' Chaudary retorted.
'Fair play, eh?' Brockway lit a cigar blowing out a cloud of smoke, 'yes, the issue has appeal but the timing is wrong. Wage cuts, pension cuts, employment cuts… Ramsay's government has become a barber shop, thanks to Wall Street. They may not even allow me to raise the India Question, forget debate.' Brockway got up abruptly ending the meeting.
It's a dead end, Chaudary was disheartened. He stood up as politeness dictated and… the Member of Parliament noticed his dhoti for the first time, hidden until then by the table cloth, 'New fashion for the summer?'
The question elicited a response, 'It is pure homespun as Gandhiji had prescribed. More than fashion it is a statement.'
'Ah! A statement without a single word spoken… there lays the answer to your problem, Satyam garoo,' Brockway guffawed clapping his hands. 'Do you have a Gandhi Cap to spare? I think I must wear one for the next session of the house.'
When Fenner Brockway raised the India Question wearing a Gandhi Cap, the House of Commons had erupted with protests coming from within the Labour Party, splitting it in the middle. Brockway was named and suspended from the house, whose days anyways were numbered. Gandhi Cap made headline news from Canada to Australia in every provincial tabloid.
Public opinion had forced the Privy Council to award in favor of Kolli Satyanarayana Chaudary's plaint, lifting the ban on the greatest symbol of civil disobedience, ever.
It became legal to wear the Gandhi Cap.
Archibald Fenner Brockway was a leader of the Independent Labour Party and served as Member of Parliament for many terms. He was renowned as the editor of Labour Leader an official mouthpiece of ILP. He was knighted in 1969 and came to be known as Baron Brockway. He was born in Calcutta and had remained a true friend of India until he died in 1988. Government of India has awarded Padma Bhushan to him posthumously in 1989.
Eric Blair was born in a middle lower class English family – in his own words – at Motihari, Bengal (Now Bihar). From a budding author trying to discover himself in East End, London, he had later attained phenomenal fame under his pen name, George Orwell.
Kolli Satyanarayana Chaudary Born a farmer from Guntur, he had campaigned against the ban on Gandhi Cap and fought cases in the lowest magisterial courts at Guntur to the High Court in Madras. After having turned down in every provincial court he had taken the fight to the Privy Council in London to successfully set free the greatest symbol of India's Independence struggle. But he remains today, unsung in the history books.

How To Clean Hunting Rifles
You've prepared to hunt through watching lots of cable TV hunting shows and by preparing recipes for the game you bring home, but before you go out on the hunt it is important to learn about how to clean hunting rifles. Maintaining your hunting rifles is the best way to assure that hunt after hunt, you will be able to safely and effectively go into the wild to commune with nature, appreciate environments we must protect, and to practice the ancient art of hunting. There are many types of hunting rifles, but the principles of cleaning each rifle are the same: to remove fouling and moisture from the barrel, action and receiver that can pit or rust the rifle and that can cause failure to function when a pivotal shot is needed.
What you will need:
- a hunting rifle
- a rifle cleaning rod
- bore brush specified for your rifle
- a cleaning loop or jag
- gun solvent
- gun oil
- a clean rag
- Move into a well ventilated area. Solvents used in gun cleaning release fumes that can be harmful over time. Use a garage with a door open and fan running if possible to avoid fumes.
Assure the rifle is unloaded. Point the rifle in a safe direction, then remove any ammunition from your hunting rifle and cycle the action to make sure no ammunition is feeding into the chamber, then check the chamber one more time. These steps are taught in hunter safety, but if they are unfamiliar, take a refresher course through your local hunting club or department of natural resources department.
Strip the action. Each rifle requires you to strip the action in a slightly different manner. With bolt actions you often open the bolt, depress the trigger all the way, then pull the bolt out of the rear of the rifle. Semi auto and lever action rifles often have pins that hunters remove by tapping them out with a brass hammer and punch before pulling the action from the base of the rifle.
Clean the bore with a solvent-soaked patch. Use a cleaning rod, jag or loop and cotton patch soaked in solvent. Clean the barrel from the chamber out through the breech whenever possible to avoid chipping or denting the breech. Soak a patch in solvent and run it through the bore using the cleaning rod and jag or loop. Alternately you can start by running a bore snake through the bore to remove a lot of loose grime so you don't clog up the brass brush you will use next.
Brush the bore clean. Attach a brass brush made for the caliber rifle you are shooting and put a little solvent on the brush. Run the brush through the bore eight or nine times, then let the rifle rest so the solvent can work. The bore brush helps scrape lead, brass and powder residue from the lands and grooves without damaging your hunting rifle.
- Get rid of the grime. Run a couple of solvent soaked patches through the bore to clean out the fouling the brush has scraped up, then run dry patches through the bore until they come out clean. To have completely clean hunting riles, use a brass brush to remove any fouling from the receiver and action, then wipe the residue away with a patch treated in gun oil.
- Condition your hunting rifle. To lubricate the bore, run a patch with a light amount of gun oil on it. This reduces the likelihood of moisture buildup in the bore that can lead to damage. Be sure to wipe down the action, receiver and outer barrel with a patch or clean cloth treated little gun oil to protect your hunting rifles from rust.
Learning to clean hunting rifles is an important part of being a safe and responsible hunter. Clean your hunting rifles regularly, and they will last you a lifetime.

Flaky Cheddar Biscuits
The addition of cheddar cheese to these moist and buttery biscuits almost makes them too good to be true.
Rate This!
Flaky Cheddar Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cream of tartar. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until mixture is moistened.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing it for four to six strokes or just until dough holds together. Pat or lightly roll dough until 3/4 inch thick. Cut dough with a floured 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter; reroll scraps as necessary and dip cutter into flour between cuts.
- Place dough circles 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until golden. Remove biscuits from baking sheet and serve warm.
From the Test Kitchen
If baking powder or cream of tartar appear lumpy, sift through a fine-mesh sieve before using.
Drop Biscuits:
Prepare as above through Step 1, except increase the milk to 1-1/4 cups. Using a large spoon, drop dough into 12 mounds onto a greased baking sheet. Bake as directed above. Makes 12 biscuits.

- AMIE certification is also awarded to distant engineering courses. If...
- Although a bitter pill for us to swallow, it is...
Quality and reliability are of the utmost importance at Arizona and that is how it is benchmarked against other AMIE engineering colleges. So, let's only get the ball rolling before it's too late.
Associate Member of the Institution of Engineers (AMIE) is a degree-level examination in engineering, on a par with B.Tech/BE, formally approved by MHRD, UPSCE, UGC, Central Government, all State Governments, IIM, IIT, DEC, AICTE, UK, USA, AUSTRALIA, Canada, etc. The syllabus is designed and developed, examination is carried out and the certificates are issued by the Institution of Engineers (India), the largest multidisciplinary and professional body of engineers. The Institution of Engineers (India) encompasses all disciplines of engineers.
AMIE is considered as the only engineering without entrance or any sort of screening. That is the reason why it is given a distinctive captioning of "engineering without entrance", indeed a short answer which could be easily given to the question 'what is AMIE course'. The candidates, therefore, are under no strain or pressure about gaining admission to any AMIE institute of engineering. It offers all branches of engineering including chemical engineering without entrance.
All things considered and as compared to that of B.Tech/BE, the syllabus prescribed for AMIE is not overloaded or dense at all.Read More on AMIE Syllabus
- A calm and relaxed learning experience where education becomes a rejuvenating journey.Excellent Learning Environment
- Well experienced and professionally qualified faculty to cater to the needs of each student.Highly qualified faculty
- Application oriented learning methods to help you stand out from the crowd.AMIE Course – Job Oriented Training

strength in colors
the backlash against the consumerism of Pink for October started long ago (see think before you pink). but as a marketing guy, i remain so very impressed with how pronounced the color pink becomes every october for breast cancer awareness month. moving the symbolism from a pink ribbon to the color pink overall gives the movement countless forms it can take. this year in the nfl alone, there are everything from pink cleats to gloves to hats to wristbands. just a smart, smart effort.

Understanding patterns in urban disease
Health. It is often neglected, treasured when taken away and an area where research and understanding are desperately needed as disease patterns change and adapt to new environments and human dynamics.
Dr Tolu Oni's research is driven by the issues of healthcare, urbanisation and rising rates of infection.
"My research aims to contribute to the analysis of changing patterns of disease and the implications for the health and wellbeing of the population in the context of urbanisation," explains Oni. "I have worked in the field of HIV and tuberculosis (TB) in the South African urban informal setting since 2007, and my current research focuses on urban health and equity."
She says that she is especially interested in understanding the interaction between commonly co-occurring chronic infectious and non-infectious conditions, upstream health determinants and the unplanned urban environment.
Growing urban population
Growing urban population levels are impacting how disease is transmitted and how it affects the people living in these communities. The healthcare system today is not responsive enough to examine the factors which impact on a person's health and how this can be addressed from the ground up.
"Many of the aspects which influence health lie outside the healthcare sector. I want to find ways of collaborating with other organisations, pulling in both health and non-health related institutions, to see how we can work together to make much-needed changes," says Oni.
It was while working as a researcher in TB and HIV, in the context of infection and how better to diagnose and understand the burdens and patterns of these diseases, that Oni was struck by two significant realisations.
The first was that they were waiting for people to come in with conditions and then trying to work out what factors caused them. Yet TB is a preventable disease. The second was that people were coming in with a myriad of other chronic conditions, not just those with which they were originally affected.
Tailored, holistic, healthcare
"It struck me that we were not looking at patients and population in a holistic way — some HIV and TB patients had, for example, diabetes, and the healthcare system is structured so one specialist deals with one element while another deals with the other," says Oni. "It made no sense to me. I left this role so I could look at the patterns and try to understand how these diseases co-exist. We need a healthcare system which is responsive and can be tailored to how population health evolves."
Oni's work looks at both ends of the system — healthcare delivery and prevention. Illnesses such as TB, HIV, diabetes and hypertension are largely preventable. She is looking for answers as to why these are still growing and impacting urban populations.
"In our country we have some of the leading TB researchers and I find it perplexing that, in this context, we still have one of the highest TB burdens globally," says Oni. "They should not co-exist."
She says that there is a disconnect somewhere and that her research is about finding ways to work across this. "It's vital that we push the boundaries of fundamental research — for example drug discoveries —but also address the disconnect between academia and research, and the impact of disease on the population."
Focus on urban health
For this researcher, it's important that her work affects people at the population level, uncovering the broader determinants of common diseases. It is also what drives her focus on the urban setting, rather than on the rural.
"South Africa may not have the fastest urbanising populace globally, but we are the most urbanised in Africa at 62% of our people in an urban setting," says Oni. "There is a lot known about rural health, but we need to prioritise urban health. It is more complex, with dynamic population movement and exposure, and the urban space can greatly impact on health."
Oni says that it has been through mentorship, support and guidance that she has been inspired to choose her path and to continue with her research and work.

In my World Religions course at the University of Guelph as a last discussion question I ask if human beings are naturally religious. This sparks a lively debate - despite this being only a bonus question assignment worth 1% of their grade total. I pose it at the end of term and without much weighting in terms of grades so students will treat it without pressure and think widely and deeply.
They do.
Usually a number point out that religion is not the same thing as spirituality and that humans may be naturally spiritual but not naturally religious. Religion is seen as the structure of religions - institutional in form. Spirituality as numinosity is defined by Rudolph Otto in his still important work Das Heilige/The Idea of the Holy.
I was thinking about this today and thought something different. First of all, 'religion' can mean the structured, institutional and organized - but organized what? I would say organized spirituality. Human beings may indeed in general [but not in every case] be naturally spiritual. But human beings are social animals and immediately begin to organize. Those who discover others with similar spirituality create organizations with leadership, meeting places, rituals, etc.
Secondly I was thinking about why people are spiritual and therefore religious. Most students in the discussion noted that religion used to supply answers that science now fulfills. I think there is another, more profound level to this. Religion and its foundation, spirituality, supply not answers, but purpose. I was thinking back to the debate I watched online between Rowan Williams the current Archbishop of Canterbury and the famous atheist, Richard Dawkins. Prof. Dawkins insisted that there is no purpose in the universe - it is all a colossal accident. That everything that exists now is the result of an initial random occurrence and a series of occurrences spiralling out of that. Archbishop Williams insisted on purpose in the universe.
