This morning I woke up questioning everything, which is something that happens relatively frequently. Anyway, it got me to thinking about ritual.
Human beings need rituals. I'm not talking about big, elaborate religious ritual (though that is relevant). I'm talking more about defined patterns in our lives that help us stay grounded and make sense of what we do every day. Like the order in which you get ready for work or school. The ways in which you learn to cook. The way you clean your house, brush your teeth, correspond with people you're close to, navigate city traffic, and many other basic daily rituals. Some people are more ritually-minded than others, and I'm definitely one of those ritually-minded people.
For instance, my morning ritual goes something like this: wake up, pet the cat, put on glasses, put hair up, use the restroom, get dressed, deodorize, brush teeth and wash face (since I shower at night), gather puja items, spend 20-30 minutes doing puja/meditating, go brush hair and put on makeup and jewelry, make lunch, gather fruits/milk/nuts/asst offerings and put them into a small bag to take to work to eat before breakfast, put shoes on as I'm leaving. It's a pretty constant ritual and it throws my day off a little if it changes (but I'm not so inflexible that it ruins my day). A good friend and I joke often when I get stressed because things aren't happening according to neat patterns, that "there are rules!" I'm not a particularly flexible person. (Unless I plan to be. I can be flexible for a whole day if I tell myself beforehand, "today I'm going to be spontaneous!" I know that it's not very spontaneous if you plan it in advance.)
So this new path my life is taking? It's at once exhilarating and immensely terrifying. On one hand, it's a level of ritual that's beyond what I knew as a child. It's a definite, deliberate ritual for most parts of a person's life, plus other very specific ritual for the spiritual parts of a person's life. Portions of it reflect things I like about my family's traditions, like music and candles and incense and bells and consuming a bit of food to take a blessing (though the equivalents are organ+choir, diyas, frankincense, sanctus bells and communion, which are more similar to the temple/puja experience than I realized). I like that. On the other hand, it is foreign enough to what I grew up with that it seems like it breaks all convention (what? you don't sit in pews? there is more than one representation of God? hold on. give me a minute). It doesn't match the ritual I'm familiar with. And that makes me question things.
When I talked to my mom about it (we talk a lot about this stuff; she's gone through a lot of similar exploration in her spiritual path, from devout Catholic monasticism to Native American Shamanism to a sort of Episcopal-based theistic humanism), she asked me why I needed to choose a system of beliefs at all. I've been asked that by a lot of people since, mostly friends who are either agnostic or theistic humanists, and my answer is always, I need the ritual.
At the moment, it's making me crazy not to know which ritual is the best for me (patience is another thing I'm working on learning). In the meantime, because they do give me an inner calm that is unlike anything I've experienced in my life before now, I do my pujas and meditation and japas, and I sort of know deep down that when the time is right, I'll know.
But it's going to drive me nuts until then.

Tried and Tested – July 2018 Product Review
Here are four products we've been trying out this past month. Last month I wrote my first Tried and Tested monthly product review, you can read it here if you missed that one.
This month I have Hasbean Coffee, The Saucy Affair cooking sauces, a Wakebag rucksack style handbag and Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen.
I received these products for free in lieu of an honest review, all of the opinions in this post are mine and of my family. This post also contains an affiliate link, click here for my full disclosure policy.
Hasbean Coffee
I had this coffee in my cupboard for at least a week before I could taste it, not because we don't love coffee, but because I was sent whole beans and we didn't have a coffee grinder. I tried a pestle and mortar and then a handheld blender but let me warn you, if you spend ten minutes trying to grind coffee in the morning before your first cup, and then your first cup tastes like mild coffee flavoured water, pestles and mortars can potentially become lethal weapons.
Husbands may be dead.
My husband, however, has a strong survival instinct. He went out and bought a cheap grinder from Lidl. Now I have a few moments of calm each day enjoying the grinding, inhaling, brewing process that would possibly what you call 'mindful' coffee making.
So after a week of using the mug with traitor coffee, I finally got to open and taste my Hasbean. The two bags I was sent had this written on them: Milkyway, White Grape and Orange, and Hazelnut – Hot Chocolate and Jammy Dodger. The second pack appealed to me immediately, chocolate is not a word I can pass by, so I opened that one first.
I presumed this refers to the aromas and when we tried them my brother-in-law said he could pick up some of those. I don't have a connoiseur's nose but I could tell that the orangey one had citrussy tones and the chocolatey one seems smoother tasting. These are perfect coffee for everyday, all day!
(BTW I absolutely love the mug. What I can't show you in a photo is the weight of it, the base is super solid and the bottom of the inside is a perfect half sphere. This is very satisfying for a spoon stirrer!)
This coffee company is based in the UK and sources beans from around the world. They create seasonal blends and really interesting, delicious sounding aroma combinations like those I mentioned above and also Dark chocolate, plum, dried currants orToffee, green apple, caramel. All the coffees are described with passion and enthusiam, the owner Stephen has travelled the world meeting local growers and creating beautiful flavours.
If you read their website you'll see how passionate they are about their coffee and the growing, harvesting and manufacturing processes involved to create really lovely blends.
You can buy Hasbean coffee here off their website.
Saucy Affair – 'Home Cooking from Scratch in a Bottle'
I have to say these sauces really impressed me. When it comes to cooking dinner, sauces are the things that wreck my head because they take time to make. However, they are so handy for a big family as they just make the meat stretch a bit further when you are operating from a tight budget and they just seem to make food taste nicer.
Very occasionally I'd buy a bottled sauce but have you ever looked at the contents of those things? Nine times out of ten there is added sugar and tonnes of salt, and then at the end of the list of ingredients, there is also a pile of scientific whatchamacallits I've never heard of and have no idea what they are.
Tanya, mum and founder of The Saucy Affair says:
"Dinner should be delightful…a little theatricality around the table can really bring families together, and it's our mission to make that effortlessly easy".
These Saucy Affair sauces are called raw because they are made from over 70% raw fruits and vegetables and they aren't pasteurised. Because of this none of the nutritional value has been lost and the flavour and texture is as though you've taken a whole load of lovely fresh produce and blitzed them up to made them into a sauce. They need to be kept in the fridge and they can be frozen, they were delivered in a smart little cooler bag to keep them cool.
The Saucy Affair sauces come in six flavours: Teriyaki Malarky, Cucumber Blunder, Smokey Cokey, Beetroot Cahoot, Tarragon Shenanigan and Fiery Fiasco.
They are free from gluten, wheat, lactose, nuts, low in salt and are suitable for vegetarians.
What did we think about Saucy Affair?
When I first opened them I loved the fresh smell and the fact that you can just dip your finger into the bottle as the ingredients are almost 100% pure fruit and veg. I found them so easy to use, you just pour them over your food and cook, but they can be eaten uncooked too as dipping sauces.
The Teriyaki, Smokey Cokey and Taragon ones were our favourites. I made a beef and veggie stirfry with the Teriyaki and it was delicious. The Smokey Cokey was perfect with meatballs and pasta. The Taragon was lovely with chicken and rice. The kids loved them all.
The Beetroot is an unusual choice for a sauce and it is a stunning bright pink colour. It is lovely with feta, pancetta and fresh baby spinach over pasta.
The kids weren't too mad about the cucumber one (too vinegary tasting) but I thought it was great for cutting through the greasiness of the chips that I served with the cod and hake for this sauce.
The Fiery Fiasco is absolutley that – very fiery indeed!! I had added a tub of tomato passatta to dilute the sauce to make a curry and it was still too hot for me. Athol and my teens found it fine for them though.
The set came with a little recipe book of suggestions on how to use the sauces, with fish, meat or as a soup. Most of the recipes say the sauce feeds 2-4 but I found they were adequate for our family of six.
They are ideal with pasta and meatballs, with chicken and rice, stirfries, or as a sauce to pour over white fish fillets. If I found these on the supermarket shelves I would definitely buy our favourite four out of the six of them and keep a few in reserve in the freezer.
Global Wake Cup Handbag
When I first opened this parcel, I was captivated by the look of the bag – it's so cool! It's meant to look like a paper bag but it is made out of a tough poly paper waterproof material which feels as thick and tough as leather.
Then I found out a bit more about the company and I love their ethos. The company is called Global Wake Cup but they make bags too, they are environmentally conscious and their aim is to help reduce plastic waste by creating beautiful products which reduce the need for single use coffee cups and shopping bags.
They have this to say on their website:
"Every year 100 billion single-use coffee cups end up as landfill around the world. The UK Government estimates our total annual coffee cup waste equates to 30,000 tonnes and suggest that by 2025 more than 3.75 billion disposable cups could be used per year in the UK alone – staggering! What's worse is that of those 3.75B disposable coffee cups currently used, just 0.25 % are recycled."
My opinions on the WakeBag
The bag has two straps and is handy as a small rucksack, it has a padded inner pocket which would fit a tablet. There is one other small pocket on the inside and a zipped pocket situated just behind your back. There is also a zip entrance on one side of the bag which opens into the main central section.
My first reaction to the side zip was that it would be vulnerable to the prying fingers of pickpockets and/or children. I wouldn't take this bag travelling.
However, one day in the supermarket I discovered the purpose of the side zip! I was at the till and had the bag slung over one shoulder like a regular handbag, without having to open up the top of the bag and rest it on a surface to take out my purse, I realised I could quickly open the zip (which was now facing upwards) and grab my purse through the opening. It's also a quicker way to throw my car keys in while I'm walking from the car into the shop.
I have used it now exclusively as my handbag for the past 5 weeks and it has withstood the rough and tumble of family life pretty well. The photograph above shows what it looks like now, just as crumpled, no damage on the seams, straps or zips but the opening strap has split and curled a little.
I would like to see a small zipped pocket on the inside of the bag too and I think the popper as well as the opening strap could be a little more robust and chunky looking to match the feel and strength of the bag.
Available on the Global Wake Cup website
Here's a short video about this bag taken the day I received it:
Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen
The Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen really couldn't have come at a better time, we've had unprecedented heat and sunshine in Ireland so my four kids have been using it liberally. The cream is very light and non-greasy and has no odour.
What I love, apart from that, is the price! This is from their blurb:
This sunscreen has been formulated by two inspiring, ethically motivated altruists who teamed up to produce the finest quality UV protection, fo the lowest possible price, so that everyone can afford to be safer – and apply more.
Skin cancer specialist and Altruist founder Dr Birnie says this:
"Cost should never be a factor when deciding whether or not to wear sunscreen, or how much or how often to apply it. Everyone should have a basic right to take the necessary precautions to reduce risks of developing skin cancer"
RRP is an unbelievable £3.73 for 100ml. You can buy Altruist exclusively here on Amazon.

Melton D. and Muriel Haney Conference
The Haney Conference has been postponed until Spring 2021.
In the meantime, we are developing virtual events for those who may benefit from information and education about compassionate care at the end of life. Stay tuned for more information to come.
Thank you
This event is made possible thanks to a generous endowment from the Haney family to support a sustainable collaboration among Hospice of the Piedmont (HOP), Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital (SMJH), the Compassionate Care Initiative (CCI), and UVA Schools of Nursing and Medicine.
Planning team members
Peggy Bishop (SMJH), Cathy Campbell (UVA School of Nursing), Aurora Durkee (SMJH), Natalie May (CCI), Alex McGee (SMJH), Rachael Palm (HOP), Tim Short (UVA School of Medicine), Michelle Sodrel (HOP)
In 2013 the Compassionate Care Initiative was given a generous endowment from the Haney family to support sustainable collaboration among Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital (SMJH), Hospice of the Piedmont (HOP), UVA Schools of Nursing and Medicine and the Compassionate Care Initiative. The goal of this annual conference is to support our community members who provide care to those at the end of life and to inspire new conversations about how we can best care for each other.
March 27, 2019
The conference branched out into the community to provide a resource open house at Jefferson City School for family caregivers and health professionals. The program was titled "What Do I Do Now?" Navigating the Challenges of Caring for a Loved One with Serious Illness. In addition to the resource open house, panelists provided personal stories of caregiver, legal, social worker, and care provider experiences. More than 125 community members came out to explore more than a dozen resources, listen to the panel discussion, and take advantage of free massages and acupuncture.
November 3, 2018
The Haney planning committee was proud to support the Virginia Film Festival's (VAFF's) screening of the documentary América, and facilitate a post-screening discussion with one of the subjects of the film, Diego Alvarez Serrano. The film won the VAFF Programmer's Award for Documentary Feature.

With more seats, Bangalore gets political clout2 min read . Updated: 18 Apr 2008, 12:00 AM IST
With more seats, Bangalore gets political clout
With more seats, Bangalore gets political clout
Bangalore: The victor of the battle for Bangalore will significantly determine who holds the winning stakes in the Karnataka polls to be held in May because the number of constituencies in the state's capital has increased to 36 from 16 after their boundaries were redrawn based on latest population data.
"The party that wins these seats holds the key to power," says K. Chandrashekar, Congress party legislator from Basavanagudi, a constituency in south Bangalore, who was also once the city's mayor.
Besides Bangalore's 36 seats that include eight in its suburbs, all urban centres in the state have added one seat each. This means the number of rural seats have decreased since the total number of constituiencies remains at 224.
This has forced political parties, who traditionally have been wooing rural voters due to the significantly higher number of legislators they send, to rethink their election strategy. The elections in three phases will begin on 10 May with results on 26 May.
Although the main parties—BJP, Congress and Janata Dal (Secular), or JD(S)—have raised the pitch for rural votes through sops such as free television sets and power, and subsidized rice, they are also talking of storm water drains, decongesting roads and sites for housing in Bangalore.
"It is high time the city comes on the agenda. Karnataka's future is linked with Bangalore's growth," says T.V. Mohandas Pai, director and head of human resources and training at Infosys Technologies Ltd. Over one-fourth of the 91,187 employees of Infosys work in Bangalore. The technology sector alone employs nearly 675,000 people.
Lok Paritran, a political party launched in 2006 by four alumni of Indian Institute of Technology, plans to focus on Bangalore and contest all the 28 seats in the city.
"Bangaloreans pay the highest taxes but they are the least served by the government," says Lok Paritran's state president B.T. Naganna, who will also contest this election.
Bangalore transformed into a metropolis from a city of public sector undertakings and scientific research institutions in the last two decades due to the mushrooming of information technology firms. However, infrastructure such as ro-ads, public transport, and utilities has not kept pace with the exploding population, numbering over 6.5 million now.
Public protests around the turn of the century led to the establishment of the Bangalore Agenda Task Force, or BATF, to oversee the city's development. However, the BATF was dismantled soon after the 2004 polls that saw the state's first coalition government, which said it's focus would be on rural development.
Perhaps this time round, India's silicon city will get a better deal from its politicians.

Café Carbon is the place that unites meat lovers and that friendly Dutch 'gezelligheid'. If you are wondering about the name Café Carbon, it's named as such because the meat is prepared on a Carbon grill. Which, not coincidentally, is also the reason why the meat tastes so ridiculously good. SO Connect spoke to Gerben van der Worp, manager at Café Carbon.
Carbon has a total of three beautiful locations in Amsterdam: van Woustraat, Amstelveenseweg and Mauritskade.
Every location serves its own charm. On the first location, van Woustraat, you can opt for private dining. The Amstelveenseweg location has a terrace that is almost twice as big as the restaurant itself. Café Carbon East has an Express service, allowing you to enjoy Carbon on the go or at home.
Says Gerben, "Before Café Carbon opened its doors, the location was an old darts café. We characterize ourselves as a steakhouse with that real Amsterdam feeling. Everybody is welcome to have a snack, have a sit-down dinner or have a few drinks at the bar",
Café Carbon caters to a diverse audience. From couples for a romantic dinner, families and tourists to local neighborhood residents. Carbon has become quite famous in Amsterdam, as its no-nonsense attitude to good food is hard to forget. Don't expect Carbon to serve a selection of twenty different craft beers or cocktails. Carbon is a deliciously simple concept that just works!
"Besides the fact that we serve good food, we also offer good service" says Gerben. "The reason why we began a partnership with SO Connect, is because we believe that offering good service includes offering free internet. It helped us gain more visibility on our social media channels. Besides, we don't have to waste time handing out passwords.
Before we started with SO Connect we weren't exactly a social media star. But we realize that if you want more visibility on social media, you will have to find ways to engage your guests! In the beginning, we relied a lot on word-of-mouth advertising, but adding Review Management to the mix really made a big difference for us!". We wish Gerben another successful year, along with SO Connect team.

This recipe was originally called "Mystery Dish." Having worked in a school for a couple of decades, the title wasn't appealing! Although, I must say, that the cafeteria ladies I worked with were amazing people and wonderful cooks. The cafeteria staff at Margaret Newton Elementary School in Tiptonville, TN was the BEST!! They love the children and the teachers and nothing was ever "mysterious" in the serving line!!
Now, back to this recipe!! It was submitted by Mrs. Ted Reetz of Monroe, Iowa in the 1966 recipe collection Favorite Recipes of America. After looking at the recipe, and making a few adaptions, I have renamed it "Chili Noodle Casserole" and made it freezer friendly.

EBRD hiring Central Asia Women in Business Programme Policy Coordinator
Regional, 03 October 2019
Project Description
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the 'EBRD' or the 'Bank') is committed to promote gender equality and improve the gender impact of its investments as stated in the Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality ('SPGE') approved by the Bank in December 2015. Promoting women's access to finance and business support for women-led businesses is one of the three operational priorities of the EBRD's Strategy. Specifically, the Bank has committed to support women's access to finance and entrepreneurship through its investments, advisory products and policy engagements.
In Central Asia, in addition to persistent overall gap for SME development, there are still "large" gender "access to finance" gaps and "access to skills and employment" gaps, indicating persistent structural challenges that are holding back women-led businesses from reaching their economic potential as well as policy gaps limiting the enabling environment.
The financing gap, in particular, is a major obstacle in enabling the transition of women-led SMEs (the "Women SMEs") from micro to small and medium-sized businesses. The lack of adequate finance in structures suitable for investment or tailored to address the specific needs of Women SMEs coupled with fewer opportunities to gain managerial experience, tend to constrain these businesses to low value-added and low productivity sectors on a relatively small scale.
In view of this, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the "EBRD" or the "Bank") is now establishing the Central Asia Women in Business Programme (the "Programme") whose overall objective is to promote and support women's entrepreneurship in Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) and more broadly, women's participation in business by assisting Women SMEs" in order to access finance, know-how and advice. This will in turn increase their economic opportunities at the same time as creating systemic shifts in how the financial sector serves women entrepreneurs.
Assignment Description
In the context of the launch of the Programme, the Bank now intends to engage a consultant (the "Consultant" or the "Policy and Programme Coordinator") to coordinate all policy activities undertaken in Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan (the "target countries") to ensure the smooth and successful implementation of activities envisaged.
The Policy Coordinator shall also support the EBRD with donor reporting requirements including monitoring and reporting on policy activities with inputs from the EBRD Resident Offices in the Target countries.
The Consultant shall be based in the Kyrgyz Republic or Uzbekistan and work mainly from the respective EBRD Resident Office with necessary travel to other three countries where the Programme is implemented.

Hong Kong means "Fragrant Harbour" and early Muslim seamen mostly came from the shores of Malabar (India), Bay of Bengal, Campbellpur (Attock), Hazara (Abbottabad), Lahore, and Gujarat. Besides those others came from Shanghai, Aden (Yemen), Java, Sumatra, Malacca, Malaya (now Malaysia), Sarawak, South-Sea Borneo, Brunei, Port Said (Egypt), Turkey, Zanzibar (Tanzania).
With Hong Kong beginning to develop into an important seaport for the British, more and more seamen and garrisons were passing through and some settled here, like Chinese Turkestan, Burmese, Ceylonese, Indo-Chinese, white Russians from both Russia and Harbin, Moros from the South Philippines and Arabs etc.
During the early 19th century many Muslim seamen had no proper accommodation or dormitory but somehow or other they managed to stay well-knitted together in an area known as Lower Lascar Row – in the Central area, better known to the Hong Kong old timers as "Moro Kai" (streets of the people of the Moros). The Muslim seamen held their first Jamat (gathering) in an open street at Lower Lascar Row, and continued to do so for a time. In those days the non-Muslims never dared to pass through that street after marketing for fear of hurting the Muslims' feeling when they held pork and walked along while the Muslims were having their "Salat." Years later with hundreds of the Muslims and their families having vacated their shops and residences for elsewhere in Hong Kong, their shops were taken over by Chinese traders selling Curios, Old Scrolls and Relics and these streets of Lower Lascar Row are now better known to many tourists as the "Cat Street."
With Hong Kong already well established under the British Empire, more and more Muslims were heading this way from India filling many of the public servant roles as Hong Kong Police Constables, Marine Guards, Prison Guards, Dockyard Guards, Watchmen, Bank Clerks, Royal Naval Dockyard Police, Ferry Supervisors, Post Office Mail Launch Guards, Sanitary Foremen and Government Servants. The diamond traders from South India, especially Muslims, also came in big numbers.
Today there are more than 300,000 Muslims in Hong Kong, hailing from across the world. The majority are young, and were born in Hong Kong. There is also an increasing inflow of migrant workers, expats and students.

How do our innocent and precious babies learn to be stubborn, hot headed little tyrants? At what stage do they turn from sweet innocent little angels to becoming very stubborn and learn to stick their heels in? As a christian, to me, this highlights the very nature of sin.
I was in shock the other day when my 13-month-old decided that he was going to exercise his personal rights to refuse instructions over my personal right to give instructions.
How difficult can it be for a 13-month-old to do as they've been told? We were in the midst of a very busy morning, child #5 was playing with my electronic bank card reader that helps to identify me; looks a bit like a calculator.
I then presented him with an Ella's kitchen smoothie pouch, he immediately threw the card reader across the room and stretched his arms out to receive his pouch. Now this was becoming a habit, I'd noticed over the past couple of weeks that when he had something in his hands and he was then offered something else, such as his cup, bottle or a toy, he'd throw whatever was in his hands to receive what we were offering.
Of course he is still very young and probably unaware that throwing things across the room to get what you want isn't a good thing. It's something we his parents need to teach him.
I naturally spoke gently to him and said 'Joey, pick that up and give it to mummy, ta' he looked me dead straight in the eyes and swiped his hand across it; catapulting it to the other side of the room. I could not believe what I was seeing and experiencing. Did this 13-month-old baby boy just do that! I spoke gently again repeating the instruction. I held out the pouch and said "first pick up the card reader", pointing to it, "ta and then you will get the pouch". Again he reiterated his previous behaviour and swiped it across the room, only this time coupled with agitating and shrilling screams.
The look in his eyes accompanied by his piercing screams immediately indicated to me that this was overt and plain stubbornness, it was a battle of the wills and only one of us was going to come out triumphant. I knew that conceding would have communicated to him that he could then behave in such a way whenever he wanted. I was not about to hand that power over to my 13-month-old son, I mean what would be next? Would this then continue into his two's, school years and teens! No WAY. It had to be nipped in the bud in that moment. Who knows where failing to challenge such negative behaviour could end up.
Now I was already under pressure as I had to get into work and hand in some very important documents that I was unable to find. So inbetween tearing my home upside down and combing through every drawer, box and cupboard to recover the documents, I periodically checked in with him and repeated the same process. "First pick up the card reader, pointing to it, then you will have your smoothie, ta" . This continued for 1.5 HOURS!!!! Yes, ONE AND A HALF HOURS. I was not about to relent and neither was he. It became very apparent that he is my flesh and blood with those genes of sheer determination. Our 1.5 hour battle of screaming, ignoring, reiterating and repeating, came to an end with SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!! FOr ME!
Joey finally decided to put the card reader into my hand and I immediately gave him his smoothie pouch. I praised him for good listening and thanked him for the card reader.
deep inside I felt a great sense of achievement. I was a winner and he had been taught a valuable life lesson. I know it isn't about winning and loosing of course, it's about the principle and learning experience for my son.
The most amazing thing is, now whenever I offer him something and he has another item in his hand, he will either carefully place it on a table, the bed or in my hand. Since that moment he has not thrown anything down on the floor again. It goes to show, our children are very intelligent, they learn so rapidly and we must start as we mean to go on. It is absolutely essential to exercise consistency in raising our children. It may be tempting to give up in such situations because of time restrictions or impatience. However, the life lesson learned at the end is so empowering that it's definitely worth the battle.
I encourage us parents to put in the time with our children, the rewards are great and our children are worthy of our input.
•Have you had similar experiences with your child or children?
•What did you do?
•How did you combat and challenge the behaviour?

A career spanning 43 years in the music industry, guitarist Joe Amenta has played guitar for many bands including Taste, Uncanny X-Men, Wendy and the Rockets, Moving Pictures, Russell Morris, Daryl Cotton and Tina Arena to name a few. His endorsement of DELM Guitars, expertise and player perspective has provided a stimulus for the refinement of the playability of DELM guitars.
Read what Joe, owner of a PCP - B, is saying about DELM Guitars. . .
Mick is a very unique person he can draw a picture that is so perfect you'd think it was a photo, he is a true artist luthier in every sense of the word. He builds guitars like artists draw paintings. Every single part, the wood, the paint, is scrutinized. The thing I love most about Mick is that second best wont do. The word okay is not in his vocabulary, if its not as close to perfect as he can get it, then he starts again. The detail he pays attention to is second to none, he winds pickups to the exact requirement, he experiments with sounds and woods, he has a lot of knowledge about wood and resonance, a phone call with Mick can last an hour yet it feels like 5 minutes have gone by, if you are like me and sick of spending good money on so called known brands that rely on their name and not quality, If you want something truly special, I suggest you give Mick a call. I have been playing guitar for 43 years and have met a lot of guitar builders but Mick De Luca is the man for me.

Schlagwerk Cajon Agile Dual, Red
Departments > Drums > World Percussion > Cajons > Schlagwerk > Cajon Agile Dual, Red
Agilis is a Latin word meaning "easily moved". The word "agile" has developed from this in many languages as a synonym for energy, ease and liveliness. A fitting name for Schlagwerk's new cajon series. The technical core is formed by a removable element for creating an exceptionally fast and precisely responsive snare sound. This sensitive attack is produced in the base & dual models using a snare carpet. In the pro models a flexible damping system combined with adjustable string tension ensures a very agile attack. Based on the design of a cajon with two playing surfaces, the Agile dual provides two sounds in one instrument. The first side features precise snare sounds combined with a warm and open bass. The second playing surface typifies the dry Cuban sound character. For varied sound production the snare technology can be exchanged between the playing surfaces.

Here is a scenario played recently by myself and my good friend Art. This is Art's second battle. I offered him the German's as they are the attackers but he wanted to watch how I do an attack.
This game had two divisions preside. For this post I am only showing the side with the most action. When we played this game bot sides used all their divisions.
Game Start
At the beginning of each move both sides check for first move determination and then available supporting artillery and air from corps command. In this game each side had 3 support artillery battalions available.
Germans Move First
Normally at the start of every new game turn both sides go through a die roll to determine who moves first that turn. The Germans have first move as the scenario dictates.
German Move 1b
American Move Turn 1a
US Move is Complete
US Artillery Fire – Ranged Combat
The US player decides to shell the Pzk. IV. The zone it is in is visible from the Inf. Btn, in its front zone. This Btn. is in a prepared position and through them the entire division knows of the contents of the German Zone.
The US will use the onboard artillery Btn. as the firer and support the attack with two of the support artillery Btns. that are available to it. I always place firing artillery Btn. next to the target to remind myself it is firing or supporting.
The Germans will counter fire with their SPA "Wespe" and two supporting artillery Btns.
To hit any target in combat requires a 1-5 on a d10. This is modified by +2 for the US supporting Artillery and down 3 by the German supporting artillery. The d6 shows us the number the US artillery needs to hit. The red die is their first die roll. This was over causing no damage. The US player plays a reroll chit (blue) and rolls again, this time rolling a 4 (blue die) and hitting the German armor.
The Germans make a saving throw to see what damage was caused. Their save is a 1-5 on a D10. The roll 4 so no damage was done.
Finally the used artillery cards are flipped over to show they have been sued for the turn and the 105mm model and Wespe model are returned to their actual zones.

text: There's something to be said for watching a family grow right before your eyes. I mean from before mom and dad were even mom and dad to now, a family of four! I was friends with Dan and Ashley separately in college. I remember the first time I thought that Dan and Ashley were going to be more than friends. It was at Ashley's 21st birthday and I saw the twinkle in their eyes. A couple of years later they were married, eventually had their daughter Lillian, and now have added Judah to complete their sweet family. I just love getting this family in front of my camera! Hope you like their pictures!

When it rains, it certainly pours.
As a kid, I never liked the rain. When all my friends sang and romped in the cold showers, I always stayed far away under some type of covering. My mother joked that I was allergic to the rain. My grandmother said I was like the palm oil daughter who was never to go near fire. Only this time, I never went near rain. Time moved, and I was grown up. Working and living on my own in Abuja. I had been beaten by the rain twice in Abuja already. I told myself it was the sign of my coming of age. The fear of the rain was broken.
I just bought a new car and was launching it at my cousin's baby dedication. I had jokingly commented that it was still raining in Abuja and would not want to be caught it in again. And here I was, my key locked in my car, standing in the rain. That was how I met my Anthony. He called my service center and had them toll and get the key out at their office. We had lunch while we waited. In one hour, I knew I had met the man of my dreams! And for some reason, i knew he felt the same way about me. I have never been presumptuous about men, but the pull to Tony was so strong, it was palpable! He took me home later that day in my car, after meeting my entire Abuja family at the dedication that I was incredibly late for. He took a cab home after making sure I was safely in my apartment. We talked all night, and spent all day together the next day. He just fell into my life easily like he had always been meant to be there.
Six months after meeting Tony, we were formally "meeting the parents". Everything was so surreal! I couldn't believe my luck! Our private joke every time it rained was always on me. And I was glad for it. If it had not been the rain, i would not have had the joy I had in my life right now. Tony was amazing! He is the most thoughtful, most romantic and most mature guy I had ever been with. Maybe I had grown too… but he was just like heaven sent. He has his own bit too, don't get me wrong. He is some type of hermit and I'm such a bumble bee! My girls thought he had me under some kind of control. But Tony didnt need to ask me to do anything. Both our lives adjusted naturally to each other.
It's been 18 months now and wedding bells are ringing. But I cannot hear them. I'm hearing the dirge of the mourners. It's coming from somewhere above me. I am looking at Tony and it seems he is looking at me. It's shocking to see how fast one can become past tense. We, Tony and I are at the cemetery. I am trying to be brave and not cry. Even if I did, no one would hear me, cos my cries are mere whispers compared to the loud wails around me. I want to touch him, hold him and feel his warmth one more time. But I can not. I'm looking at him, focused on him like I could hold his image like this and frame it for eternity. Like the memory could take me through the rest of eternity. Funny enough, its raining too. Someone had been smart enough to think of a canopy for this part of the procession. I am not wet this time, but it would not make a difference if I were. The pall bearers close the coffin, and Tony is the last thing I see before the top closes on me. I see the final death in his eyes. Like he died with me and would never live again. I tried to look beyond the wooden coffin, but I could not see a thing. I could still feel him though, as he took one laborious step after the other, walking away from me for the last time.
I was announced dead on arrival at the hospital. The drunken truck driver did his best to nearly grind my body to the asphalt. I was parked on the side of the road buying groceries from my customer when he drove right into me, clearing my car and the grocery stall, maiming the fruit seller and taking my life instantly. They said his third hand tires skidded in the rain and he lost control. It's raining heavily now and the grave diggers are working fast to cover up my portion. I'm trying to end this as fast as I could. i need to finish before they do. If you are the one reading this, please take a message for my Tony. Tell him it's not raining here…

When you're reading cases and law review articles, do you find yourself skimming past some words, hoping the context will help you understand the passage? Do you ever mix up "discrete" and "discreet"? How about "sanguine" and "sanguinary"? Or "imply" and "infer"?
Vocabulary.com is a terrific site. It has a very fast dictionary and lots of tools for helping you learn words. AND it has NO ADS!
One tool Vocabulary.com offers is The Challenge, a games that gives you multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank questions. If you guess right, you get a cheery message ("Nice work!"). If you don't, you get another chance, and another. You can also ask for hints—either having the program eliminate two wrong answers or give you a sample sentence. When you don't get a word on the first try, the system remembers it, so you'll get a review later. After a while, a lot of people get hooked on the challenge of trying just one more word to see their scores go up. If you register, you can keep track of your progress over time. You can even compete against your Facebook friends.
|Vocabulary.com, The Challenge (screen shot)
In addition to The Challenge, you can use vocabulary lists. There are lots of lists that are already put together, at different levels of difficulty. There are lists for famous speeches (e.g., Franklin Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech, a speech by Nelson Mandela) and lists for literature (e.g., Walden, The Great Gatsby). Law-related lists include those with words from:
- the Dawes Act,
- the Dred Scott decision,
- James Madison's Federalist #10,
- The Common Law by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.,
- Brandeis's dissent in Olmstead v. United States.
Here's another nice feature: Vocabulary.com has an audio link so you can hear how words are pronounced. This is really handy if you've read a word but aren't quite sure how to say it. Better to learn it from Vocabulary.com than try it out for the first time in oral argument!
The more I use this site, the more I like it.
The only tool of the lawyer is words. We have no marvelous pills to prescribe for our patients. Whether we are trying a case, writing a brief, drafting a contract, or negotiating with an adversary, words are the only things we have to work with.

Public Provident Fund is one of the most famous options (next to EPF) for investing your money in a secure, Government backed investment instrument. This investment option can be used for tax benefits under the income tax section of 80C subject to the limit of 1 lakh. Investment in PPF is one of the few investments where the returns are tax exempt. Because of tax exempt feature PPF investment has become a favoured investment among individuals and salaried class.
Please note that it is different from Employee Provident Fund (EPF) for which you and your organization invest directly to EPFO (Employee provident fund organization). For PPF, you are the only one who contributes.
Key Features of PPF
PPF normally gives 8% interest. This rate doesn't change very often and hence it is one of the recommended options for investment. There is assurance of safety of the principal and there is a decent return too. PFRDA regulates the EPF rate of return and normally it directly impacts the PPF rates too at times and there is a positive correlation between PPF and EPF rates.
- Investors can deposit anywhere between Rs 500 to Rs 70000 in a year. The investors can also pay any amount anytime in a year subjected to the condition that the amount invested in a year will not exceed Rs 70,000 and 12 instalments in a year.
- The tenure of deposit is 15 years. However, you can extend this in a block of 5 years every time you want to extend.
- After 7 years, you have option to withdraw 50% of the amount invested till the 4th year. At the same time you can get loan up to 25% of the deposit between 3rd and 6th year.
- The investment is safe from any personal liability. Hence no institution can touch PPF deposit against your liability.
How to Start
PPF account can be opened in nationalized and private banks and post offices. Most of the banks such as SBI, ICICI, Bank of Baroda, BOI, and others offer PPF service. All you have to do is to go any of these banks' branches and request a PPF form and fill it.
PPF can be opened in your name. If you have minor children, you can open it in their name so that when they become adult, you can use the accumulated fund for their education or home.
Word of Caution
Do not open two accounts in your name. This is not legal. Your other account will be closed and only principal will be returned with some penalty if the institution comes to know about your multiple accounts. The best course would be to open in the name of your spouse and children. But when you open PPF account in your spouse's name, the combined sum (if you also have a PPF account) cannot exceed Rs 70,000 an year. For minor kids though, you can open separate PPF account and invest maximum of extra Rs 70,000 an year.
Joint accounts cannot be opened. One account can have only one holder. You could name a nominee though. The nominee should claim the PPF money immediately in case the account holder's demise.
Making most of PPF
Public provident fund is one of very good option for building wealth in long term. Some of the steps you can take to make the most of PPF are as follows:
- Invest the maximum amount (Rs 70,000 an year) if you can afford. Build a discipline to deposit this sum consistently. Since we are habituated to think in monthly term, make a habit of depositing monthly (or quarterly as the situation is). The important point is to be consistent. If you skip, the account may be blocked. If you want to reopen it, you can do it with a nominal penalty of Rs 50 and Rs 500 towards your minimum payment for PPF for every year. The penalty looks nominal but you should avoid skipping the payment at any cost.
- Open the PPF account early, as soon as you get your first few pay checks. The magic of compounding works in the favour of those who start early. You must build a discipline to deposit the sum in your PPF account in the beginning of the month. This will build the much needed discipline to focus on long term objective. It will also give a better return as the interest is calculated on the minimum amount in your account between 5th and the last day of every month.
Let's look at an example of how the magic of compounding works in case of PPF.
Monthly amount invested
Yearly amount invested
No of years in the term
PPF returns
Final Sum at the end of the term (approx.)
20.2 lakhs
34.3 lakhs
55.5 lakhs
86.9 lakhs
- As far as possible, avoid withdrawing PPF money and taking loan against the deposit for two reasons. One, it breaks the discipline of not touching long term assets for short term needs. Two, it impacts the final sum.
- As shown earlier, you can extend the investment period in block of 5 years at a time. The final sum increases dramatically as you invest for longer period of time. You can also leave the money at bank after the maturity period without investing more. The compounding will work on the sum valued at that point in time.
PPF is recommended for people who want to invest in risk free asset and can be used for various purposes. For example, you can open a PPF account in the name of your child and matured amount can be used to finance higher education when he or she is ready to go to college. You can also open PPF account in your daughter's name and use this money in the time of her marriage. You can open two accounts in your and your spouse's name subject to the limit of Rs 70,000 a year and use the money to buy home in future.

The 2011 Lesbian Tent Revival, comprised of more than ten hours of sermons held over five consecutive days at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, was smokin' hot!
Here, in print, are the sermons… revised and expanded. Read some of the hottest, in-house, radical lesbian-feminism gospel-preaching around!
Sermons include:
•The Joann Russ Memorial Shriving: Magic Mommas and Trembling Sisters
•Lesbians Are Not Gay Men: Adventures with a Venn Diagram (Parts I and II)
•Trauma Literacy and Sexual Intimacy: Strange But Potentially Radical Bedfellows
•Butches Who Saved the World and How They Did It And Why You May Not Know About Them
•Womyn-Born Womyn Vs. Trans: Ground Rules for Productive Dialogue
"We need our lesbian history, our bold lesbian archetypes, our wild lesbian cultures. This is what I try to bring to the Tent Revival. I want to provide a space for the creation of a radical feminist spirituality. The Tent Revival is creating a global 'Sisterhood of the Sacred Synapse,' because it is a tenet of the Revival that radical thinking is a sacrament. It's not optional. It's a sacred duty."
