My best friend Nop, who lives in a city several hours of air travel away from me, visited me during the Christmas period. I spent a wonderful two weeks filled with tears, laughter and sheer madness with her, doing things that we have and haven't done before. I was quite sad on the day she left. I was emotional and a bit choked up on tears that were threatening to escape but I did my best not to show it. Because I knew that it would not be too long before I see her again. Plus, we email each other a lot.
So after dropping her off at the airport, my mum and I got home and sat down for lunch with my brother. I was halfway eating when there was a loud knock on the door. My mum went to check and found that the postman was delivering a package. I took one look at the writing at the front and immediately knew who it was from. The cute little stamp of Christina and her cat also confirmed it.
It was a birthday present from Christina, Myra and Megan! Although my birthday was more than a month ago, I didn't mind it one single bit. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised, thrilled and touched to received this beautiful present. (Note, I am not being sarcastic here. The paper bag only looks ugly because it took some battering on its way to me.)
They bought a scrapbooking materials set from smida paper (my favourite craft store) for me! I didn't bother taking a photo of all of its contents but this is what it looked like before I opened the packaging. It was a already opened (because the seal/sticker was broken) and I believe it was the customs going through the package to make sure no illegal items were being mailed in.
My friends also included a card. A Christmas/Belated Birthday card. Christina made it herself. Isn't it beautiful?
Now here comes the funny part. Inside the package was also another little package for Nop. Nop, who was visiting me, has already flown home on the same day this package arrived (literally a couple of hours after she left)! I did tell Myra about her visit and if the timing had been perfect, we would have received this package while she was still visiting me! Oh well, I'll just have to mail it to her. I must admit that I'm dying to find out what's inside though!
So I would like to say a very big thank you to my three friends. Best friends. For this wonderful and delightful birthday surprise. Even from a different continent, you guys managed to brighten up my otherwise dim (not exactly gloomy) day! And you may or may not have already stopped referring to me as your best friend (and I don't blame you), ever since my lack of presence but I can assure you that I have always and will always refer to you guys as mine.

It's lovely, but may I propose one correction?
Saying "children" just seems wrong to me (that's what members of the race of men have), perhaps you can consider "elflings"? :)

Powerhouse Valve is being sued by a German consumer group over Steam's refusal to allow users to resell their games. According to a complain filed by The Federation of German Consumer Organizations (VZVB), Steam users should not have their purchased games tied to their Steam accounts. There should be an option to transfer the title to a third party.
Carola Elbrecht, VZVB's project manager for digital consumer rights states that Steam users should be given the same rights as owners of traditional board games – allowed to sell their used copies on at will.
This is not the first time that VZVB has locked horns with Valve. Back in September they issued a cease-and-desist order over the same resale issue and regarding Steam's updated Subscriber Agreement, which prohibits class-action suits against the company.
Elbrecht notes that Valve is not the only digital software distributor and this law suit is targeted towards them all.[via Slashdot]

In any emergency, be it natural disaster or man-made, long- or short-term, people's lives are turned upside down. Knowing what's happening, where to go for assistance and who to call for help is crucial to their survival and recovery.
As famine is declared in six regions of neighbouring Somalia, this edition of Digital Diversity highlights the work of ActionAid in improving vital communication with drought-affected populations in northern Kenya.
Digital Diversity is a series of blog posts about how mobile phones are being used throughout the world to improve, enrich, and empower billions of lives.
By Airlie Taylor
In partnership with "infoasaid", a collaboration between the BBC World Service Trust and Internews, ActionAid is rolling out a project in Isiolo district, Kenya which aims to help combat food insecurity amongst communities affected by the ongoing drought.
The project uses innovative technology – FrontlineSMS and Freedom Fone – to transmit information simultaneously to multiple recipients from a laptop computer.
Basic mobile phones and solar chargers were provided to 250 Relief Committee members who live within the communities we are working with, and who are themselves recipients of food supplies provided by ActionAid.
ActionAid's Data Officer in Isiolo, Rahab Mburunga, explains how the project works.
"I'm in charge of the communications hub in Isiolo which coordinates communications with the communities we are working with on drought response in Isiolo district. Every Monday I receive a list of livestock prices from the Ministry of Livestock and input them in shorthand into the FrontlineSMS system. The information is then sent out via text message to Relief Committee members and ActionAid's Food Monitors, who are based within communities. The Food Monitors then transcribe the livestock prices, in the local language, onto a bulletin and post it on a noticeboard in their community. They then organise a community gathering to alert people to the fact that new information is available and talk through the prices. I follow the same process to provide information on staple food commodity prices in Isiolo market, using information sourced from the Ministry of Agriculture".
The livestock market information empowers drought-hit pastoralists to achieve better prices for animals that they sell to traders – boosting their cash income. The food price information allows them to keep tabs on the price of staple foods such as maize, beans and vegetable oil, on which they increasingly depend in times of drought.
Illiteracy rates in the area are high, so the project has set up a recorded message service to complement information sent out by SMS. It allows members of the public to hear the same market information spoken in Kiswahili by calling a special information line.
"Using Freedom Fone software, I record and upload messages on livestock and food prices," continues Rahab. "Relief Committee members and members of the communities we work with can call if they want to hear the information directly. I record two new messages a week – one on a Monday and one on a Friday. We are also looking into providing additional information on the recorded information line – mainly on weather conditions with information from the Meteorological Department, and other humanitarian information such as on healthcare, from the Department of Health. It's important that the messages we record and send out, either through Freedom Fone or FrontlineSMS, have a legitimate source so that people trust the information we are providing".
"The Freedom Fone line also allows community members and Relief Committee members to leave messages with information direct from their communities. It's particularly useful for illiterate members of the community, who may be unable to write text messages. Recently we received text messages from Relief Committee members reporting outbreaks of disease amongst livestock in Garba Tula. When we receive such information we pass it on to the relevant government department, in this case the Ministry of Livestock".
Together, the two channels of mobile information allow pastoralists living in isolated communities to access reliable and up to date market information. They also allow ActionAid to keep in closer touch with the village relief committees that handle food distribution to individual families.
Faster data gathering from the field
An additional aim of the Isiolo communications project is to speed up collection of vital data from the field.
Using FrontlineSMS, ActionAid is able to send electronic forms to the mobile phones of our field staff in Isiolo County. These forms can be filled in electronically and returned immediately to our office in Isiolo in the form of SMS messages.
These forms are now being used to transmit time-sensitive reports on activities such as food distributions and food for work programmes, as well as information on malnutrition rates and local food prices between the Food Monitors and our staff in our Isiolo office.
"We use the FrontlineSMS forms to inform Food Monitors about when the next consignment of food supplies will be delivered to their community, whether any supplies are missing from the pipeline on any given week, and if there are any delays in dispatching the supplies," explains Rahab. "At the same time, the Food Monitors text us information reporting back on how food distributions have gone – whether all community members attended a distribution, and whether they received the correct rations".
"This project is important for ActionAid because we can get feedback directly from the communities, whereas previously information came only through the Relief Committee members. It also helps establish a better relationship between the communities we are working with and ActionAid. I enjoy this work – it is very quick and easy to do, and makes a big difference to both ActionAid and the communities we are working with".
This communications project in Kenya is part of a wider ongoing partnership between ActionAid and infoasaid, aimed at integrating two-way communications with disaster-affected communities in our emergency preparedness and response programming. This in turn improves the effectiveness of aid delivery.
Airlie Taylor is Communications Officer for ActionAid's International Emergencies and Conflict Team, responsible for promoting understanding of ActionAid's human rights based approach to emergencies and conflict. She is also leading ActionAid's engagement with the infoasaid consortium to integrate communications with disaster-affected communities in ActionAid's emergency preparedness and response programming, and is an active member of the Communicating with Disaster Affected Communities Network.

text: Industry in spirited push of brunch bill June 21, 2017 We're raising a glass to the possibility that restaurateurs in North Carolina may soon be able to serve alcohol to customers earlier than usual on Sundays. Senate Bill 155, which the state Senate passed June 1, would allow restaurants to sell beer, wine and spirits to customers on Sundays before noon if they want to. However, those Sunday morning sales would not happen unless the local city council or county commission approves them first. The legislation, also known as the Brunch Bill, will now head to the state's House of Representatives for a vote. If it passes, the law would change the way the state serves alcohol. What it means Passage of the bill essentially would permit restaurants to serve alcohol on Sundays at 10 a.m., but it wouldn't be mandatory. Cities and towns who don't agree with the law don't have to opt into it. They could continue to serve starting at noon. However, Lynn Minges, president and CEO of the North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association, said allowing operators to serve alcohol earlier, particularly where tourism drives business and brunch is popular, would help them: Meet customer demand more efficiently Grow their businesses faster Create more jobs Increase tax revenue Bring customers into the business districts earlier in the day Passage could also add at least $25,000 annually in taxable revenue to each restaurant's bottom line, she added. North Carolina isn't the only state eyeing changes in the way its eating and drinking places sell alcoholic beverages. Late last month, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed legislation allowing operators to start selling alcohol at 10 a.m. on Sundays provided those sales are already legal in the city or county where restaurant does business. Before the Governor signed the law, Sunday alcohol sales could not begin until 12 noon or later. We're asking operators in North Carolina to support passage of the brunch bill and sign our petition to #freethemimosa. More: The 'brunch bill' will help N.C.'s hospitality industry

Social conciousness legal action + money (Mumbai)
I work with Medical devices, I have served in positions of executive level leadership in fortune Protected content device companies, presently work as a Vice president for a US medical device company, own a Medical device start up in the EU and provide knowledge based consulting to investment companies in the US.
A Medical device is one that meets or exceeds FDA / EMA regulations for quality ISO Protected content , risk ISO Protected content Usability AAMI HE75:2009
In India you have no such standards.
I purchased a BP monitor for my family members, one from Omron, which was completely out of whack. It gave readings of Protected content BP for a 74 year old hypertension / cardiac patient. We rushed him to the ER to discover the BP monitor was garbage. We performed controlled comparative tests to confirm that it was indeed garbage. I have already created the grounds for a massive legal case against Omron, but I want to raise awareness about this issue among Indian people.
A high profile legal case with media coverage can address the lassitude of the Government in regulating medical devices. Do you not value the lives of your family members?
I am way too busy to run this in India, given I live in the EU. I need a partner to run with this. I will provide the technical and regulatory expertise, I need some one with legal expertise : to run with this.
I need pro-active, informed, powerful executive capability. The monetary compensation will be there. You will partake in the settlement from Omron.
And you get media coverage and better your own society.
Anyone wants to collaborate?

After writing last weeks tome, I started thinking about books. I mentioned Joan Roca's book and, believe me, this is a book that any chef would be crazy not to own.
Let me say that I own approximately 700 cookbooks and books on and about food. I have read every one of them and have gleened unfathomable knowledge from them. Those books are my school, my hobby, my apprenticeship and my part of my passion. I will leave them to my children.
Anyone interested in cooking as a career or as a hobby will have a certain number of their favorite books that they constantly refer to for recipes or inspiration. At this point in my career and with my experience, I still refer to my library for inspiration on either presentation, product or technique. I'm lost without it.
It is in this vein that I offer the "list".
Escoffier - The bible of cooking. EVERY chef has it
Larousse Gastronomique - runner up to the Escoffier book. Again, Every chef has it.
Jacques Pepin's La Technique
Julia Childs' French Chef Book
Art Culinaire - Quarterly publication that is vital to any chef wanting to learn what all of the top chefs in the world are creating NOW. Fantastic stuff!
My last supper - Melanie Dunea. What a great compilation of "Last meal choices" by some of the worlds' best chefs
ANYTHING that Charlie Trotter writes.
Again, ANYTHING Rick Tramonto writes. This man is probably my favorite chef in the U.S.
El Bulli Cookbook by Ferran adria. Of course it'll set you back about $400 (and there are three of them) but it's money well spent. I recommend that you use your Ecomonic stimulus money for this one.
Alinea - Grant Aschatz. Art on a plate
Of course there are hundreds more but these are, in my opinion, the essentials. Happy shopping!
More Stuff: I am working on my next submission. Should be done in a couple of days. Last week I went to a Prosciutto party. No...we didn't eat it...WE MADE IT!!! What a great day! I have photos and a play by play. Lots of fun.
200+ for valentine's day so far. Should be a fabulous night.
New menu is rolling out after "V" day. I'll keep you up to date on that as well.

G-8 Summit Does 'Too Little' for World's Poor: Kairos
Article excerpt
The July summit of the Group of Eight (G-8) leaders fell short of achieving the goal of "making poverty history," according to Kairos, a Canadian ecumenical organization dedicated to social justice, which is calling for the "immediate and unconditional cancellation" of debts owed by all poor countries to international financial institutions.
"Too little was done to write off illegitimate debts or remove the harsh conditions attached to debt relief or to reform the international trading system," said Kairos in a written analysis of the implications of the summit held July 6-8 in Gleneagles, Scotland. "As a result more wealth will continue to be transferred from the impoverished to the affluent than will return in the form of aid."
The summit of the world's richest nations--Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States--was supposed to discuss the problems of Africa and climate change, but was instead overshadowed by the London bombings on July 7.
In a prelude to the summit, G8 finance ministers announced on June 11 a plan to cancel debts owed by some low-income countries to global financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In the end, the summit ratified an agreement that wrote off $1 billion US in annual debt service payments of 18 of 62 countries needing a one hundred per cent debt cancellation, said Kairos. …

Signs That You Love Dogs
Posted at 09:27AM - Comments: (10)
I was driving the other day and saw a car with a personalized license plate proclaiming their love for "K9S". I love seeing dog-related personalized license plates, but I never thought to take pictures of them and "collect" them before - and I don't know why! (I think we should use the WDJ Facebook page to make a collection of them! If you have a dog-themed license plate, post a photo!)
When I saw this car in a parking lot, I laughed out loud in recognition: Here's another person who loves dogs - and whose dog loves them, apparently. I bought a new car in 2014, and the very first scratches its paint received were from my grand-dog, Cole, who jumped up to greet me (after I parked and my son came out of his house with Cole to help me carry stuff into the house). I love my car, but I still smile when I think of Cole's happy greetings.
Perhaps no dog owner's car is without these, though - a sure sign that your dogs accompany you.�
What signs of dog-love do you recognize in the parking lot or on the highway?

How to wear clothes so we look our best is a fundamental fashion question at every age. What are the essential components?
These series offers 11 tips, spread over three website pages.
Let's start with three basic principles.
First, know and love your body and who you are.What you wear will not change your self-image and confidence.
Back in the Seventies, a cosmetic surgeon Maxwell Maltz discovered that many of his clients continued to see themselves as seriously flawed, even after the surgery went well.
Physical beauty has very little to do with the image you express.
Second, dress to express your identity and feel good for the occasion.
Attitude is everything. Have fun with clothing. It's not a test.
Refelct on what you like and what makes you feel good about yourself. If you love high quality clothing and can't afford it, learn to shop thrift stores and consignment shops.
Third, know what's current and adapt accessories to trends, while keeping core wardrobe components age-appropriate.
Update your wardrobe with creativity and flare.
I've divided this article into three sections for easier access. You can toggle between them at the links at the end of each section.
The number one fashion disaster of mature women may be wearing loose clothing, because we believe it makes us look slimmer and hides figure faults. We are wrong.
Draping ourselves in billowing fabric does not hide what's underneath.
My mother, trained as a fashion designer, had a favorite saying about this fashion look: "She looks like she was dressed by Omar the Tent Maker."
I disregarded Mom's maxim for decades.
Dressing in baggy togs doesn't make us look like waifs when we are older. It makes us look worse. Fashion gurus such as Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style , What Not to Wear, and How to Look 10 Years Younger make this point time and again.
Accentuate the positives, be it a nice bust, a curvy waist-hip area, great legs, pretty eyes or fabulous hair.
Avoid anything fussy or bulky. This serves those with fashion flaws as well as the most svelte figures among us. Supple wool garbardine is more flattering for suits than bulky mohair fabrics.
Details should draw eye the toward your best features.
Emphasize pretty eyes with colors, legs with skirts that end above the knee, and hands with beautiful rings. Everyone has a best feature; find yours.
Accessories such as shoes, handbags, hats, belts and scarves are cost-conscious ways to show that you know how to wear clothes with flair.
Invest in classic styles; these can be worn with wide belts this year, skinny ones next year.
Handbags have been coveted fashion accessories for more than decade. A well-made handbag can be a treasure that lasts for years.
Shoes are some women's fashion luxury. There's a wider variety of attractive flat and low-heeled shoes with comfortable supportive insoles than ever before.
A few interesting accessories can add a trendy touch to styles you've loved wearing for years.

(The truth is...I lost hundreds of brain cells when I had the Twins and I can hardly remember to charge my phone or where I put my keys....so I SURELY don't remember how old we are getting:)
I love Jarom a lot.
I thought I should take a moment and put that out there in blogland.
I've already told him...and do...every single day.
I was thinking (talking Jarom's ear off about it actually) about how many times people have the opportunity to totally screw up their lives. Think about it....SO many choices have to line up perfectly so that you can find and be with the one who makes you truly happy. The one who shares your common goals, can make you laugh, doesn't annoy you to the point of wanting to physically assault them (oh whoops...there go my hormones again:)
The one who makes it all worth it (and by IT...I mean life and it's many curveballs).
The one who at the end of the day...(after you grew and birthed TWINS and are covered in stretch marks, and a mountain of dirty diapers is taking over your bedroom, and you've received the 10th phone call this month that says (swing by flying J and get a gallon of milk on your way home from work....) he still loves you and is still happy he gets to come home to you. (even though the last time you wore something that was your own and didn't belong to HIM was last Tuesday!
I think that's my favorite thing about Jarom.
He ALWAYS makes me feel loved and important and like what I'm doing/or not doing is ENOUGH.
It's refreshing...because women tend to be their own worst critic...and I'm not an exception.
Last weekend (because this weekend is full of Christmas parties) we celebrated Jarom.
He came home to a yummy dinner...a cake made my me and frosted and decorated by Jaxson and a handful of presents:)
We took the traditional..FIREPLACE PICTURE to document.
(I love this picture SOOOOO much. Mostly because I love everyone in it so much my heart could burst!)
Oh crap. Looking at this picture is making me want to wake them up right now and smooch on them. SO lucky and blessed to be their mom...to get to stay home with them...and smother them daily.
Jaxson got his dad the Iphone 5 and a new case:) He was pretty excited about it and kept a good secret!
I'd like to point out Jaxson's amazing job on the cake:) He kinda missed the entire bottom layer...but it's the thought that counts! ha!
Happy Birthday Honey!
WE love you.
Thanks for working so hard.
Thanks for putting up with my spending, emotional outbursts and sometime (rarely....but happens nontheless) high-maintenance ways:) You rock.
SO glad you are mine.

As a science 'Sufism' or 'Sufism' and the road to learn how to how people (a Muslim) may be as close as possible to Allah SWT. Even textually, can not find the verse that commands bertasawuf and mystical word or phrase in the Quran, but there is implicit in the verses of the Quran which gives encouragement to practice part of the diartilkulasikan Sufism as a moral basis. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) In the process, thinking contiguity tawasuf experience with teaching cultural or religious values is not Islam, as the Greek civilization, Roman, Hindi, Egyptian, Jewish, and Christian. The interaction of doctrine and the value systems inevitably lead to the development of Sufism have thought in its application. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) At a meeting of culture and civilization of the Muslims introduced, transmit and promote aqidah and worship in the Islamic value system, otherwise non-Islamic civilization and the local culture local to transmit the philosophical thinking Muslims. So is the thought that at first Sufism is Amali or akhlaqi, or called 'Sufism akhlaqi', nowadays it bring Sufism to the pattern in the philosophical understanding of Sufism, which became known as 'philosophical Sufism'.
Amali as Sufism, Sufism Falsafi also generated figures and thoughts known in scientific study of Sufism. And efforts to approach God on the basis of 'closeness or distance' between man and God has given birth to two streams of Sufism, namely 'transcendentalism and mysticism mysticism mysticism union'. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) first flow shows that there is a dividing line or the difference between man and God, while the second flow say that the dividing line can be eliminated so that people can unite with God because there are similarities. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) In the second development stream is a lot of the characters bear, among others; al-Qusyairy, al-Junaid, al-Ghazali, al-Busthami, Ibn Arabi, Ibn Sab'in, Al Jilli, etc..
In the first understanding of Sufism and akhlaqi birth / Amali, and often also called Sunni Sufism. In the development of Sufism Sunni Sufism is also known as' dual 'of Sufism that has been modified and adapted to Asy'ariyah theology and Sharia (read' fiqh ahlussunah). (Http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) His characters include Al Junaid, Abu Bakr Muhammad al-Kalabazi, Al Qushayri, Al Ghazali, etc. Sunni Sufism Sufism seeks to reconcile with the laws since the mid-century 3 H / 9 M, which reached maturity and success at the thought of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali
Falsafi Sufism is a mystical concept of teaching that God knows (ma'rifat) ratio approach (philosophy) through to higher levels, not only knows God only (ma'rifatullah) but higher than that of wihdatul form (unity of existence) .
What is meant by philosophical mysticism of Sufism which is leaning on the integration between the intuition of the Sufis with their rational perspective, and uses philosophical themes from various sources to reveal the mystical. (Http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) could also say that the philosophical mysticism of Sufism which is rich with philosophical thoughts.
In Sufism philosophical approach is very different methods to mysticism or Sufism Sunni salafi. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) If Sufism Sunni or salafi more prominent to the practical aspects, while the prominent philosophical Sufism to the theoretical aspect that the concepts of philosophical Sufism to put forward the principle of ratio with philosophical approaches that are difficult to apply in daily life, especially for the laity, even virtually impossible, but still can be applied in reality.
While understanding the second group is philosophical Sufism, which is also called the 'monistic Mysticism', which integrates the teaching of Sufism is the mystical and rational vision of the expression and philosophical terminology. (Http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) this philosophical Sufism is generally based on wahdat draft form, al-Hulul and al-Ittihad. His characters include Abu Yazid al Busthami, Al-Hallaj, Ibn Arabi, Ibn Masarra, Al Jilli, Ibn Sab'in, Maqtul al-Suhrawardi, Mulla Sadra, etc..
Philosophical Sufism arose in several theories of mystical thought, such as; mortal, Baqa and Ittihad are the result of thought, Abu Yazid al Busthami, Hulul by Al Hallaj, (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) vahdat Al Being attributed to Ibn Arabi, Insan al-Kamil was developed by Jilli, and Wihdatul al-Mutlaqah initiated by Ibn Sab'in thinking.
Philosophical Sufism appeared at about the seventh century AH 6 and 7, marked by the introduction of the characters are thinking philosopher and mystic of the Sufi philosopher as the philosophy of mysticism mingled with a variety of absorbing foreign philosophical thinking outside of Islam from the Greek, Persian, Indian, Egyptian, Jewish and Christianity without losing the authenticity of Islam as a religion.
before Al-Ghazali, scholars Qalam science scholars have taken a few ways of thinking reinforces the basic philosophy of science Qalam. their philosophy is only just learned to strengthen the science base that Qalam. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) but Ghazali at bahwasannya taking such a way is superficial. People are only interested in the tip end of philosophy, but people do not dig up the uratnya, philosophy does not have a godly stance, but just shake. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) He said: people who work are not trying to argue with the philosophy of going to see their science veins. The word says that the use of science Qalam is a difficult word and the word china. Clearly the opposite of resistance and damage. Ordinary people who had knowledge could not accept it, what else people who have high science. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) insaflah So I refused a school bahwasannya really sebelim in fahamkan and study it carefully, is like shooting a blind eye. Will koyaklah stepped foot in earnest, by reading philosophy books books books alone, without a teacher.
Ghazali satisfied Qalam uphold science as a science. He will not just blindly according to the science of artificial Qalam first person from her. Said the word philosophy is no longer solely in the eyes borrowed again to strengthen his position, (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) but has been fixed and the science that made him a test stand. But even though he had won, because they with their business knowledge Qalam yelah upright as a science, but his own soul is not yet satisfied.
One of the general framework of philosophical Sufism is the mystical is not clear, has its own language and understand it requires the intellect and the power of the ordinary sense, and therefore not considered to be philosophical Sufism philosophy because it is based on intuition, (http://eyangresi313.blogspot . com /) is not purely because Sufism is expressed with the languages of philosophy that led to the establishment of schools of thought in the discussion.
The philosophical Sufi philosophy to recognize and deepen the flow of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Neoplatonism, the theory of emanation, Hermeticism and books other than the Eastern philosophy; Persian, Indian and Islamic philosophy, al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd and others, to be translated into in Arabic. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) Some of them are also affected by the thoughts Isma'ili, Batiniyah and Risala Risala-Ikhwan al-Safa '.
Since the beginning of thought known Sufi philosophical falsafatnya the target of criticism from the Islamic jurists, (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) especially about the 'Alone al-form' and other ideas that are considered contrary to Islamic theology.
While the rejection of critical philosophical Sufism is also known to have enriched the breadth of Sufism in the contemporary study of till now still continue to be discussed comprehensively in academic discourse.
Developing ethical conceptions among zuhad or ascetic Sufism is the embryo, which states that God is not limited as opinion Mutakallimin (kalam pengamal science), but more than that. Essence of God is the source of all beauty and perfection, is also believed that God is the source of power, absolute power iradat. (Http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) God is the supreme creator, regulator of all events and the origin of all that exists. Because of such beliefs, the feeling of fear God more than they affect the sense of hope. Because of the strong fear of the wrath of God, all the devotion that they do aim for the safety of the ordeal. Impulses such attitudes affect their lives for the things of the profane and their relationship with God.
The emergence of the doctrine of God estetikal comes from the belief that God is all there, so between man and God is the reciprocal communication channels. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) God, as the Spirit Essence and Majesty, is also the Essence of the Most Beautiful, and the Source of all beauty. In accordance with one of human nature that loves beauty and beauty, the desire to love God is human, because God is the culmination of all beauty. Teologik estetikal concept is associated with al-Adawiyah Rabi'a via the doctrine of al-hubb or mahabbah. (Http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) Love God and do anything for him, is the motivation of love of the Sufis. In the soul there is no fear of punishment or wrath of God, no desire to enjoy the paradise that is only the desire for love and beauty of the Essence of God is eternal. (Http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) The Sufis devote themselves to God is due to welcome love and hope of His love. This doctrine continues to believe, that the creation of the universe is God's declaration of love is reflected in the form of empirical or as asthma mazhohir of God.
Since the time of Abu Yazid al-Busthami, incline to the opinion of the Sufi conception of 'unity of existence' or 'union mistisism', where the core teachings is that the phenomenon is only a shadow of true reality, namely God. One-atunya essential form is the form of God which is the basis and source of all things happened. (Http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) The world is a shadow whose existence depends on existence of God, so that reality is essentially a single form. While the nature of the visible range with no difference seen, only the relative differences. Essential difference is due to the limitations arising from the intellect. So the existence of diversity is nothing but the result of sensory perception and reasoning is limited intellect and the inability to understand the unity of Essence of all things. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) So they argued that this nature which included a man and a creature and / or other objects is the radiation from the 'divine nature'. In humans there are elements of the deity, because he is a divine radiance Nur (Light of God) as the radiance of the sun.
(http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) If the two previous conceptions of God, the Sufis interpreted as a recognition of God makrifat through the heart and is a terminal that can achieve the highest human, then for the Sufi believers 'unity of being', human beings can still be through 'maqom ma'rifat' is 'union with God' or known by the term 'Ittihad'.
Sunni Sufis recognize that human intimacy with God, only within the limits of the Shari'a remains "distinguished man with God", on the grounds that human beings are human beings, (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) while the Lord is God, who not be able to unite the two.
While the philosophical Sufi recognizes "human oneness with God", it is inner experience, spiritual journey and spiritual experiences are lived and experienced in conditions 'ecstasy' experienced 'alignment essence', not 'oneness of substance'.
The development of Sufism as a way and practice to realize the inner sanctity of their way to intimacy with God, also attract the attention of Muslim thinkers backgrounds and philosophical theology. (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) Of this group performed a number of Sufi philosophy, or philosophers who sufis. Sufism concepts they called 'philosophical mysticism' that is rich with mystical ideas of philosophy. Philosophical teachings widely used in the analysis of Sufism is to understand 'emanation of Neo-Platonism' in all its variations.
In addition to Abu Yazid al-Busthami, philosophical or mystical figure that popular theosophy and as a pioneer is Ibn Masarrah (W.381H) from Andalusi (Spain) is based on the emanation theory argues that the path of Sufism human soul can be freed from the clutches of the flesh (matter) and obtain divine light (emanation) directly (ma'rifat true). (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) Suhrawardi al-Maqtul (W.578 H) nationals Persia / Iran is the second person who combines theory and philosophy of Sufism departs from the emanation theory argues that through hard effort and really frees man soul from corporeal to trap and then can go back to first base or the angelic nature of nature Ilahiyat. Conception is then known by the name 'al-Israqiyah'.
Meanwhile, al-Hallaj (W.308 H) to formulate his theory of the doctrine of 'Hulul', ie a combination of human being with God or the creature rohaniyah with al-Khalik.
(http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) And as the culmination of philosophical thinking is the conception of Sufism al-Wihdat al-Being which laid its foundations and attributed to Ibn 'Arabi (638 W. H).
Inspired by Ibn Arabi, Ibn Faridh (W.633 H) a Sufi poet from Egypt has also introduced the concept of Sufism ideas that are similar to al Wihdat al Being, called the "al-Wihdat al-Syuhud". (Http://eyangresi313. blogspot.com /)
al-Jilli (832 W. H) also expressed his opinion that the human effort through Ma'rifat to approach the Lord will be able to reach up to the nature of identity, the so-called 'insan kamil'.
In Shiite theology and patterned bermazhab Mu'tazilite thought, the concepts of philosophical Sufism usually acceptable because the flow of Sufism is growing rapidly bermazhab area of Shiite Muslims and or Mu'tazilite. (Http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) That the reason why philosophical Sufism is often also named or attributed to the 'Sufism Syi'i'.
View 'union mysticism' is what form the basic conception of philosophical Sufism and inspired many of the Sufis or Sufi philosophical bermazhab-philosopher to formulate and give birth to works of Sufism philosophical thinking, (http://eyangresi313.blogspot.com/) famous of them is Ibn Arabi, Ibn Syab'in, Al Jilli, etc..

I make preserved lemons all the time and love them, so I'm kind of curious to try it with blood oranges, cara cara oranges, or even grapefruit.
I've preserved Meyer lemons -- assuming you mean preserving in salt, rather than making preserves (like marmalade). They're wonderful! But I have no experience with salt-preserving other, sweeter, citrus fruits.
I recently made Preserved Limes with fennel seed and turmeric, from a recipe in Dish magazine (New Zealand). They sit overnight with salt, then are packed with spices, bay leaves and crushed chilis in oil. They are supposed to be processed. I didn't take that step, just let them rest for a month, so I can't say the results are what they are supposed to be. The rind is still very hard, so I will try using them in cooked dishes. Very pretty and enticing!
Yes, you can do pretty much anything, but the thinner the peel, the better and quicker it works.
I posted my process for grapefruits, oranges and limes on my site. Here's the link: http://phickle.com/?p=674
Limes work exactly as lemons do. Grapefruit and orange take a little tweaking (clementines work well).
Many people do kumquats, but I don't see the point, to be perfectly honest, since you already eat the peel. I guess the point in that case would be the old reason, actual preservation of overabundance.
I hope this helps!

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Providing an insight into the growth of an increasingly important dance movement and depicting a changing cultural scene in Rio, director Emílio Domingos' documentary, "A Batalha do Passinho," continues to screen in various venues throughout the country. Recent screenings of the film took place at Cachoeira Doc and at the MIMO festival in Olinda.
The passinho, or the little step, is a dance phenomenon that originated in Rio's favelas in 2007. Danced to funk Carioca music, which also originated in Rio's favelas, the passinho incorporates moves influenced by samba, breakdancing and frevo with a focus on footwork.
To showcase those moves, inter-community dance-offs or battles between passinho dancers are held in pacified communities. The first major competition, the 'Batalha do Passinho' (Battle of the Little Step) took place in 2011 and has continued annually since.
These battles and the growth of the movement are the subject of director Emílio Domingos' documentary, "A Batalha do Passinho." "The making of 'A Batalha do Passinho' was living in the eye of the hurricane events," said Domingos. "It followed the growth of the movement and its establishment as the newest cultural representation of Rio."
Appearing in the documentary, Gualter Rocha, known as Gambá, was the first champion of the Batalha do Passinho. The documentary captures his contributions to the movement, before he was tragically murdered in 2011.
Besides his now famous moves, Gambá, later know as the "Rei do Passinho" ("King of the Little Step"), also helped garner attention for the passinho by sharing videos through social networks. He and the other dancers used virtual connections to both share moves and learn from others.
"It was virtual activity meeting with reality," Julia Michaels, who has written about the passinho in her RioReal blog, told The Rio Times. "The dancers researched what others were doing through the internet. It showed their initiative, intelligence and the ability they had."
"[Emílio] started the documentary before many people knew about Gambá," said Michaels. "He managed to capture something elegant, delicate and meaningful."
After its completion, "A Batalha do Passinho" competed in 2012 at the Festival do Rio 2012 (Rio International Film Festival) and won the Redentor trophy for Best Film to Show New Directions.
"The dance is perhaps the most vital of artistic expression and without doubt one of the most democratic," said film critic Carlos Alberto Mattos. "It is the voice of the body screaming, but it is not always the voice of the throat that is capable of expressing it."
"All this is reflected in 'A Batalha do Passinho'," Mattos continued, adding, "Around the dance, it's a whole lifestyle that is revealed in the words of these children of the street, their vanity, somewhat innocent affection overflowing, their peculiar language, and the ambitions of good guys."
For his next documentary Domingos will capture a different view of favela and urban culture. Entitled "Deixa Na Régua", the film will examine barbers, haircuts and the cultural importance of crafting style in changing socio-economical times.
Meanwhile, "A Batalha do Passinho" is still going strong since its debut last year. To learn more about "A Batalha do Passinho", including upcoming screening schedules, and for more information about "Deixa Na Régua" see the production's website here.

In 2010, Dukes was sued by creditors who said she owed $13,961 on a credit card issued by Chase Bank and $18,500 on an account opened through Bank One. Dukes told KXAN-TV that the debt was being resolved, and that it was the result of business struggles and the extensive time she was dedicating to her legislative duties.
The Texas Ethics Commission fined Dukes' campaign $2,800 in 2008 for failing to disclose details of campaign credit card purchases. Her campaign was fined $800 in 2010 for incorrectly reporting contributions and expenditures. Dukes said that both instances involved technical errors and that there was no malicious intent.
In 2004, Dukes was scrutinized for voting in favor of a toll project when her sister, Stacy Dukes-Rhone, was a subcontractor for the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority. She was never investigated for any wrongdoing.

I just came across a neat online service, ideal for smaller businesses that need to issue and manage proposals, but don't have a system in place.
Many businesses are using Excel or Word to issue proposals, but there has to be a better way. These tools are good, as I've said many times before, but often times its better to use a tool designed for the task at hand.
Proposals are NOT just pieces of paper you send to a client and hope for the best. It is a sales document that can make the difference between getting your next job or contract or not.
Proposable launched on 6th February enables businesses to create proposals, deliver the proposal and enable the reader to post questions and comments alongside the proposal.
James Kappen, founder of Proposable, emailed me about some of the very useful features:
When a proposal is viewed or commented on by a lead, the salesperson is instantly notified via text message and email. Salespeople now have the option to engage leads at the exact moment when they are viewing the delivered proposal. The salesperson can view an in-depth analytics page that displays the lead's viewing patterns and entire view history. This revolutionary proposal viewing data will empower salespeople to effectively gauge interest and focus their resources on the highest value leads first.
The beauty of our online world is that anyone can create a great application for businesses. The challenge for you, as a business owner, is to ensure you pick the tool that's write for you and from a company that is not only here today, but also tomorrow.
Guess what? Proposable is not a "Silicon Valley" company, but is based in Indiana. They received $250,000 of first round funding through the Sproutbox business accelerator program in Bloomington Indiana (www.Sproutbox.com).

This is a piece in an occasional series of articles about the BRIC nations. If you are looking for international students, these rising powers provide an important opportunity, but you have to know about the country and its people to effectively recruit. We previously discussed Brazil. In this series, we'll be discussing India- it's rise, obstacles it faces, how recruiters can appeal to potential Indian students, and how to make sure students are adjusting well to life in America, as well as further resources for reading.
It is tough to generalize when you are talking about a country that makes up almost 20% of the world's population. Or, rather, it is easy to do this, but you shouldn't. Making assumptions about India is a fool's game, and making guesses about its people is a surefire way to be wrong. That said, if you are international recruiter, you do have to figure out a way to tailor your message in order to appeal to Indian students.
Because make no mistake: although India has been surpassed by China as a top provider of students to U.S. schools, that doesn't mean it isn't an amazing source of talented, intelligent, dedicated students, who have the potential not just to transform India, but to bring to your school exactly the kind of students you are looking for. Indeed, India can possibly become even more important for your school in the coming year, if you know how to effectively go about recruitment.
Why India Will Be Bigger
There are a lot of external signs that seem to indicate a slight decline for India. It seems counter-intuitive, if not downright contrarian, to say that this will actually lead to an increase in the amount of Indian students looking to study abroad, but it is a distinct possibility.
For one thing, the population of India is not slowing, and it is predicted to surpass China in the next decade. This has already led to the establishment of an extremely young population, all of whom will be needing an education and jobs. This is where your school comes in.
We don't want to take anything away from the Indian education system. India has been a literate society far longer than the West, and has long maintained a tradition of learning, with primary school enrollment rates at 99%. The problem is that it is nearly impossible to create enough schools, with enough teachers, at the secondary and college level. This creates a huge need for an outlet, and one that your school can provide. But just because they need a school, why should they choose yours?
The need to prepare for the future
Colleges and universities in the United States have long welcomed Indian students. The ratio of student-to-school has increased the Indian need to study abroad, having been squeezed out of Indian universities. Indeed, we have even seen a huge spike in applications to U.S. graduate schools. This may not seem to directly affect your school, but it does. After all, the foundation for a great college experience is built in secondary school. This is doubly the case when it comes to studying abroad. Your school can help an Indian student acclimate to living abroad, being away from home, possibly speaking a second language, and the overall American cultural and educational climate.
This is a huge step up in the enormous competition to get into a good school. After all, experience in the States will help the student prepare themselves for the next level, and differentiate themselves from their peers. Your school is the first step in their standing out.
We mentioned that the Indian economy has been going through some rough patches. And while the forecast for the rupee is looking up, it is still shaky. This doesn't change the basic facts on the ground- there are simply more people than schools. What it does change is the ability many families have to pay for school, leaving Indian students more dependent on scholarships, especially when it comes to university.
If your school has a great scholarship program for international students, that can provide a solid recruiting strategy. But even if not, you can help Indian students prepare for not just the toil of a U.S. university, but paying for it. While scholarships are dependent on any number of factors, having previous experience in the United States can only help them stand apart when it comes to the fierce competition. Studying in the United States can help with essay writing and even personal connections, which sometimes can be the difference between success and failure.
Don't Paint With Too Broad a Brush
It is easy to assume that we know what Indian students want. The stereotype is tech- all tech, all the time. This has some basis in reality- after all, India is a major global tech hub. But there are more jobs than coder, tech service, or engineer. You know this, instinctively, but when crafting a recruiting program, it is easy to assume a common denominator. However, India is in need of thousands of different jobs.
Emphasize the holistic nature of your school. You can help prepare international students from India with the skills they need for almost any career. Education is about more than a vocation- you can help these students become the well-rounded, engaged, global citizens that India needs to continue its amazing growth.
The international student experience is both challenging and exciting. Whether you are a student considering studying in America, their parent, the host family, the Head of School, an international coordinator, or even a potential classmate, there are as many opportunities for confusion as there are to learn. The ISPA is here to help bridge that gap, to ensure that this opportunity and adventure is met with the highest level of success.

February 12 – 18, 2014
For All Signs: As I have written in my annual column, from Jan. through mid-July we have a series of retrogrades that impede general progress. It feels almost like the cosmos is playing some sort of joke. From Dec. 21, 2013 until Jan. 30 we had Venus, goddess of love, retrograde. No sooner does she turn direct, but then Feb. 6 brought us a new Mercury retrograde that continues through Feb. 28. But (ha,ha) here comes Mars turning retrograde on March the 1st through May 19. And we must consider the pre-shadow and after-shadow energies that are felt as each planet slows to its point of turning in the opposite direction. The whole thing makes me think of our stymied Congress. Every potential move forward is met by an opposing force. An amusing cosmic joke of the first order might occur in which Congress somehow moves forward and makes progress with all these retrogrades. Maybe that would stop their objections. Wouldn't that be a kick?
Aries: This is a goal-oriented week and you may feel some underlying anxiety about outcomes. Maybe a shallow case of nervous jitters will be helpful. The truth is that both the Sun and Mercury (retrograding) are on your side and will help you to meet new people as well as improve on current relationships.
Taurus: You have been through a whirlwind of intensity. That takes energy whether or not it appears so. Take a break this week. You need a breather. Don't allow yourself to be drawn back into the fray. Declare your independence (at least for now).
Gemini: Your ruling planet, Mercury, has moved backward into Aquarius for a four week stint. Interests in publishing, the law, philosophy, and travel may resurface in your life for a time. As is often the case with Mercury, you may be required to perform a "re-do" in any of these areas. Your mind is more capable of dealing with theories than feelings.
Cancer: You are in a jovial mood, but take care that you don't promise way beyond what you can deliver. Circumstances will flow favorably between you and your children or maybe even a lover. Follow the yellow brick road for the present. It is leading you in the right direction.
Leo: You will be one very busy Lion this week. Your attitude of peace will make all the difference in a major change occurring in your job and/or physical health. You can smooth a potential disaster into a simple problem to be solved as long as everyone cooperates. Your leadership skills are tested and it is likely you will be the King of the Forest.
Virgo: Whatever your good health routines, you may feel the need to go back and start over. If you are searching for something, check your desk, files, and anyplace that you normally keep records. Clean out old paper accumulations. You know, the stacks of stuff that you never seem to get finished. It will clear your mind and help you feel restored.
Libra: New Year's resolutions concerning health and fitness are going well. Keep it up! Your reflexes are on target, too. You will prevail in almost any competition. This is a good time to make adjustments in your life routines so that they will reflect what you really want to accomplish. You can easily stay on target with your goals now.
Scorpio: Give special attention to intuitive hunches this week, particularly if they seem to fall into your mind unbidden. Try to distinguish the differences between true intuition (knowing without obvious cause) and the wishes or wants of your small ego self. Be still and listen to your thoughts carefully.
Sagittarius: This is a time in which your exuberance and enthusiasm may carry you farther than you really intended to go. You will certainly have more energy to do whatever you choose, but take care that you don't promise way more than you can deliver. Your warm and generous heart will have a heyday.
Capricorn: The Goats have been involved with the major T-square for a matter of 3 years now. The stress at all times is heavy. This week a seemingly minor situation enters your picture and may cause something akin to a meltdown. Of course you will hide it because you can't allow others to see you out of control. Take a couple of mental health days. You are overcooked.
Aquarius: You may be surprised to find that your attitude about a purchase you have been considering has changed. Somehow you begin to see through your practical mind. It is the idealistic dreamer in you that was drawn toward it in the first place. Let it go for now. You'll feel settled about it next month.
Pisces: During this week your creative mind is really active. Do what you can to clear the decks of chatter and circus while you concentrate on producing this artistic work. It can be in any type of media, such as writing, drawing, painting, poetry and/or music. Don't put your product or yourself down. You have a knack for dipping into the collective unconscious and expressing what it wants to say.
