If you wish to do a divination for the child, it is best if you already feel mentally and spiritually connected to him/her.
Prepare as you usually do for divination, laying out the tools you will use. Now, relax and center. Open your mind to that connection. You should feel an opening of the Third Eye charka. Visualize a stream of light connecting your Third Eye with your awareness of the child in the center of your body.
When you feel you have made this connection, proceed with your divination while maintaining this altered mental state.
Here is a birthing sachet I devised. It should be held during meditations of peaceful childbirth. You should also have it with you during the actual childbirth, so that the associations with a peaceful and easy childbirth are awakened in your sub-conscious.
Take some leaves from a willow tree (for ease of birth), lavender (for peace) and clove (for protection). Place them in a small bowl and empower them. Do this by building up energy in your body and concentrating it out through the palms of your hands (which you should hold over or around the bowl).
Visualize a peaceful and easy childbirth. Then, send all the energy out into the bowl in a final burst, while gently breathing onto the herbs (if you breath to heavily, the herbs will not be in the bowl anymore!). Now, place the mixture of herbs into a white bag or cloth and tie it up. You should immediately use the birthing sachet while meditating on a peaceful childbirth.
When I was pregnant with my second child, I felt a need to experience my pregnancy in a spiritual vein. I set out to find rituals, meditations, myths-anything I could in connection with pregnancy and motherhood. Much to my surprise, I found very little modern material specifically focused on the spiritual experience of pregnancy. This lead me to do my own work in visioning and research in order to come up with practical ideas. I was quite blessed by the Goddess and experienced a depth of the divine within that I had not previously thought possible.
I would like to share a ritual I created. It is a celebration of motherhood and a means of exploring the spiritual implications of motherhood. It is most effective toward the end of pregnancy (the last month or two), but it can also be used by a mother who is not presently pregnant. This is a solitary ritual, but it can be easily adapted for group use.
The Ritual
You will need your basic altar setup for your tradition, milk or juice for the toast, and a personal anointing oil.
Relax, ground and center. Then, cast the circle according to your tradition.
Invoke the Elements:
"Hail! Thou Element of Air,
Lord of the East!
May you bring the knowledge of the Mother,
And watch over this Circle."
"Hail! Thou Element of Fire,
Lord of the South!
May you bring the energy of creation,
And watch over this Circle."
"Hail! Thou Element of Water,
Lord of the West!
May you bring the gift of rebirth,
And watch over this Circle."
"Hail! Thou Element of Earth,
Lord of the North!
May you bring the promise of the Child,
And watch over this Circle."
Invite the Lord and Lady:
"Come Thou now, I pray,
Great and Dark Lord
Cernunnos with power of seed.
Bring me strength in body."
"Come thou now, I pray,
Mother Goddess, divine,
Selene, Woman, full and complete.
Bring me wisdom in mystery."
Now, raise the cup in salute the Lord and Lady, and drink a toast in their honor.
At this point I usually do an exercise to open the chakras and build-up the flow of energy. You may wish to do the same, or use another method of building up the flow if energy in your body.Then, stand in an adoration position and call to the goddess (this may be used for drawing-down the Goddess-energy, or simply aligning yourself to the Goddess).
"Hail to You, Great Mother!
Wisdom of the Ages,
Gateway of life,
You who are at the beginning
And the middle and the end,
Let Your great power shine through me.
Inspire me with Your passion.
Give me Your strength and gentleness.
Grant me Your wisdom and power.
Lead me through worlds unknown.
Reveal Yourself this night, I pray."
Spend time communing with the Goddess and receiving any messages she has for you.
When you are ready, make the affirmation in preparation for the self-blessing. Speak in a strong, assured tone:
"Let me claim my power now.
As Woman, whole and complete,
I possess the power of Life,
I possess the power of Death,
I possess the power of Rebirth,
And I am the Threshold."
For the self-blessing, take the oil and anoint each area as you speak the blessing.
Anoint crown:
"Blessed be the Crown In wisdom and inspiration."
Anoint third eye (above and between your eyes):
"Blessed be the Jewel In sight and inner knowledge."
Anoint throat:
"Blessed be the Flute In pure communication."
Anoint heart:
"Blessed be the Door In love and understanding."
Anoint solar plexus:
"Blessed be the Light That shines within the temple."
Anoint navel:
"Blessed be the Child (or Anchor, if not pregnant) In strength and fortitude."
Anoint pubis:
"Blessed be the Gateway Between Death and Life."
You may wish to spend time in meditation or divination. When you are ready, close the Circle according to your tradition.
This may seem to be a simple ritual, but I have found it immensely helpful in opening myself up to communing with the Goddess as mother and receiving visions in connection with that Mother-Goddess-energy. I hope that it will bring some fulfillment to other mothers. Blessed be!
This is a mini-ritual of thanksgiving to be offered sometime after childbirth. It is in the form of pouring a libation in honor of the Goddess. You may wish to offer some of your lochia or breast milk as the libation offering.
Raise the cup, saying:
"Hail and thanks to you, Great Mother!
You who have guided me through the darkness.
To the gates of Death you brought me.
And safely have I returned
With s/he who was waiting, in love,
To be reborn.
For this, Great Mother, I give thanks
And honor you this night."
Pour the libation.

The focus of #plearnchat folded in the season of haunted houses and Halloween. When we first introduced our Personalization vs. Differentiation vs. Individualization (PDI) chart, some teachers were fearful of jumping in. Personalized Learning looked too scary. So this chat was about not being afraid to transform teaching and learning, because you can start small by dipping your toes into personalized learning using the Stages of Personalized Learning Environments.
"Start Small to Dream Big"
Bryan Bronn @bronnb
Bryan Bronn @bronnb
We thought of Bryan's quote when we came up with the big question:
We used the Q1, A1, format with the following questions:
The conversations were streaming by in this chat so fast that the hour just flew by. What an amazing group of educators from all over the world shared so much. We chose a few quotes from the chat to share with you. We do encourage you to check out the storify archive at the bottom of this page.
Nellie Mae Ed. Foundation @NellieMaieEdFdn
"We see #personalizedlearning as one of four tenants of #studentcentered learning. Learn more at http://studentsattthecenterhub.org."
Mike Mohammed @Mo_Physics
"Many think Personalized Learning is the process of removing challenge and rigor from instruction. But actually it is about removing systemic obstacles."
Noa Daniel @noasbobs
"Sharing is the best way to help embed a learning culture. Instead of "another" way, it can become THE way."
Kevin Foley @FoleyKev"In my school STEAM Room learning is often pupil led. Dont underestimate the power of pupil led learning."
Lisa Murray @LMurray_
"Build relationships. Talk with students. Check progress and talk about what they are doing well. Get to know them."
Brian Anton @FHS_Anton"Allowing teachers the freedom to tinker and experiment within reason. Encourage them to build on what works with small changes."
Gabrielle Marquette @fearlessteachrs#efhsinnovationhour instead of faculty meetings. Teachers need to experience personal learning."
Colleen @bergincolleen
"Encouraging voice and choice in learning is easy with research papers in my class. Wish we weren't restricted to books."

MD Magazine ran an article last week that has us intrigued, especially since we handle medical malpractice cases.
Margaret Cary is a DC-based physician who works with practicing physicians and medical students and lately, she has been stressing the need for more emotional intelligence and empathy in medicine. She writes, "Why, as a patient or colleague, should you care whether a doctor is civil? Because lack of civility can quite literally lead to medical errors, patient harm or death."
In fact, the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford conducted a literature review that shows increased kindness improves patient outcomes, decreases pain and anxiety, and leads to faster healing.
At the Law Offices of Bradley S. Hartman, we could certainly get behind kindness and improved outcomes for patients. However, we know that there are still far too many medical mistakes being made in the US. If you need a Cooper City medical malpractice attorney, we will be by your side, fighting to get the compensation you deserve.
What Can Happen?
Medical mistakes are now the third leading cause of death in the United States. Some estimates say they kill as many as 440,000 people annually while injuring countless millions more.
How does this happen?
One of the main culprits is diagnosing mistakes. Researchers have found that a misdiagnosis can cause the most patient harm of all medical mistakes. These can happen with inexperienced doctors, overworked medical staff, or simple distractions.
All too common are medication mistakes. It has been found that patients often receive the wrong medication, the wrong dosage of their medication, or do not receive their medications at all. Most medication errors happen when they are being given to the patient and the problem is often a nurse being distracted.
Infections are the silent healthcare killers and are perhaps the most rampant. Severe hospital infections can lead to sepsis, which is found in every 1 in 3 patients who die in the hospital. Most hospital-acquired infections are preventable and they occur when the healthcare staff fails to follow proper protocols.
We have all heard of the scary "never events" that happen in surgery (operating on the wrong body part, leaving items inside someone during surgery, etc.), but there are other surgical mistakes that are not required to be reported that occur much more commonly. This can be perforations of the bowel, using contaminated equipment, or medication miscalculations.
What Are Your Options?
We know that you were not expecting the people you trusted to make you feel better to end up making your worse. We are sorry you have been the victim of a healthcare professional's mistake. If you need a Cooper City medical malpractice attorney, turn to the Law Offices of Bradley S. Hartman. We will provide you with a skilled team who will stop at nothing to get you the compensation you need for all of your incident-related expenses.

Simmons, Samuel Foart (DNB00)
SIMMONS, SAMUEL FOART (1750–1813), physician, born at Sandwich in Kent on 17 March 1750, was the only son of Samuel Simmons (1724–1766), town clerk of Sandwich, by his first wife, Katherine, daughter of Josiah Foart of the same town. After being educated at a seminary in France, he proceeded to study medicine at Edinburgh and at Leyden, where he obtained the degree of doctor of physic in 1776. He next visited in Friesland Professor Camper, who possessed one of the finest anatomical museums in Europe; and journeyed in turn to each of the great German universities. Passing into Switzerland, he made the acquaintance of Haller at Berne, and at Ferney paid his respects to Voltaire. He returned to London by way of Paris, and in September 1778 was admitted a licentiate of the College of Physicians. In 1779 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. In the following year he was chosen physician to the Westminster General Dispensary, and in 1781 physician to St. Luke's Hospital. In the same year he became editor of the 'London Medical Journal,' a new magazine, which was continued under the name of 'Medical Facts and Observations' until 1800.
Simmons took advantage of the opportunities which his hospital practice afforded to make a close study of mental diseases, and his reputation as an authority in cases of insanity led to George III being intrusted to his care in 1803. This post he held for six months, until the king's recovery, when he was appointed one of his majesty's physicians-extraordinary. In 1811 the king became permanently insane, and Simmons was again in attendance and gave evidence before the House of Lords on the probability of the king's recovery. In the same year he resigned his post of physician of St. Luke's Hospital, and was appointed by the directors consulting physician, a post specially created for him. He died on 23 April 1813, at his house in Poland Street, and was buried on 2 May in St. Clement's churchyard at Sandwich. By his wife Susannah he left one son, Richard, a physician.
In 1791 Simmons was elected a member of the Society of Antiquaries. He was also a fellow of the academies of Nantes, Montpellier, and Madrid; of the College of Physicians of Lorraine; and of the Royal Society of Medicine at Paris, as well as honorary member of the Medical Society of Edinburgh and the Philosophical Society of Manchester.
He was the author of: 1. 'Disputatio Inauguralis de Rubeola,' Leyden, 1776, 4to. 2. 'Elements of Anatomy and the Animal Economy, translated from the French of M. Perron,' London, 1775, 8vo; 2nd edit. 1781. 3. 'Tænia or Tapeworm,' London, 1778, 8vo. 4. 'Anatomy of the Human Body,' London, 1780, 8vo. Only the first volume was published. 5. 'Observations on the Treatment of Consumptions,' London, 1780, 8vo. 6. 'Gonorrhœa,' London, 1780, 8vo. 7. 'Account of the Life and Writings of William Hunter,' London, 1783, 8vo. He also contributed many articles to the 'Philosophical Transactions' and the 'London Medical Journal.'[Gent. Mag. 1811 i. 285, 388, 1813 i. 587; Munk's Coll. of Phys. ii. 318; Boys's Hist. of Sandwich, p. 489; Thomson's Hist. of Royal Society, App. p. lvii.]

A man with the right scruffed-up beard and breadth of chest swaggered into the S and M dungeon that was my place of business, and twenty minutes and one grand later had my chin — still soft with the downy fluff of teen-girl skin — held steady in one paw while the other one flew at my face so hard and fast that I ceased to exist as the same collection of matter I had been the previous instant.
When Sarah's mother, Penny, got sick four years into our marriage, we decided to move back to Mississippi, considering it penance for the sins of our youth.

A long-time associate of the Nehru-Gandhi family, Sam Pitroda had ushered in the telecom revolution in India working closely with then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in the late 1980s. In his home State Gujarat to help the Congress in the Assembly polls, Mr. Pitroda questions the BJP's development model for the State. Excerpts:
So you are here to play a critical role for the Congress in Gujarat?
I don't know about the critical role, but I am here to do what I have been asked to do and I feel it's my duty to do what needs to be done. At this point of time, Rahul [Gandhi, Congress vice-president] felt that we need to meet various social groups, listen to their voices, their issues. So we are having multiple meetings in cities such as Vadodara, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Surat. We just finished a meeting with women and it was shocking to hear their stories. The kind of harassment they go through, financial insecurity, income disparity. It's absolutely appalling to hear that the State does not spend money on women-centric schemes, [and] budget is cut on health and women and child development.
What are the main issues that you heard in interactions with people?
To be very frank, I heard shocking stories. There is complete negligence of the informal sector; marginalised sections are hardly under focus of any scheme or initiative. If someone files [an] RTI [application] seeking some information, harassment starts immediately. We heard people complaining that lands given by the government some 30 to 40 years back are getting repossessed by the government for industrial development. These are the topics we want to incorporate in the manifesto.
So what's your take on the Gujarat model of development that the BJP showcases across the country?
You know it's one thing to looking at top down and talk about development from the top. What I emphasise is the bottom-up approach of development. The real difference for development is what you look from bottom up. That is the Gandhian way of development and that's what the Congress party's approach is and will be in Gujarat and elsewhere. This whole business of the Gujarat model of development is all bogus and does not make sense.
But then there are many economists, experts who have lauded the Gujarat model and its high growth rate, high investment rate.
High growth rate for whom? At the end of the day, there are two ways of growing. One way is you give two big industries, lot of support or five big industries, lot of support and you create five multi-billionaires and your numbers will look good. But have you really met the needs of the people? At the end of the day, GDP does not matter; people matter. Don't be fooled by GDP, GNP and wealth creation if larger sections of society don't benefit from it. Please explain to me what is the Gujarat model if it's not about making a few billionaires and a few dozen millionaires? Under the Gujarat model, a few people have become very rich, ultra rich while large numbers of people have become very poor. Is that the kind of development we want? I am saying Gujarat and India are at the crossroads. The world over, just 2,000 people control a huge amount of wealth and is that the model we want and is that the idea of capitalism you want here? Capitalism means everybody benefits from it. Do you want concentrated capitalism or distributive capitalism?
I find it disgusting when someone says nothing was done in 70 years in the country.
That's the Prime Minister who keeps saying that nothing was done in 70 years.
I don't care who says what. For a moment, your lies may sell and thrive and people may buy your lies peddled by PR experts. But don't insult those like us who worked for the country. Don't insult Dr. Kurien who made the country the largest milk producer in the world, don't insult space scientists who made satellites, don't insult IITs who produced experts working across the world.
Those who suffer from inferiority complex will say... the country started working only after I came.
But then why could your party not counter those lies?
I don't think we need to counter or rebut each and everything someone says. Today, the people are too hung up on PR. Did Mahatma Gandhi ever have a PR agency? Did he hire anyone to package him? You need packaging when you are not competent. The Congress party has to stand for values like truth, inclusion, trust, concern for minorities and people at the bottom of the pyramid.
But now the Congress is also in the midst of packaging and re-branding Rahul Gandhi.
That's not true. We are not packaging or re-branding Rahul Gandhi. We are presenting the real Rahul Gandhi to the people of the country. A bunch of clowns have defined [him] as "pappu" but he is not that. He is very educated, sincere, he meditates, he thinks a lot, and sometimes I think he thinks too much. He reads a lot and he is a scholar. I will give you an example, during his recent trip in the U.S., he spent 90 minutes with a top scholar on Islam, another 90 with a top scholar on China and North Korea. He is very curious. May be I am biased because I have seen him growing up since he was a child. He is a decent human being, who will never lie or cheat but he will trust. In the U.S., whoever he met and interacted with, people liked him. He met the entire board of Washington Post, New York Times and Reuters and they had long conversations and interactions with him on a variety of issues.

Caption: Canadian Pacific had both N&W and C&O power on lease in 1979, but I never thought I'd see them powering the same train sans any CP power.Creeping through Kelso, #74 has C&O GP30s 3028 & 3004 spliced by N&W SD40-2 6160. A slag train dumping ballast near Milton accounted for the reduced speed, and also allowed me to catch this train twice more.

I'm sure it has been mentioned somewhere but can't find a clear answer...
After installing 3.68 h-encore, I realize it's possible to play online and access PSN without a giant risk of getting banned.
But if I power down and insert a new (or formatted) memory card, is there any trace of h-encore or henkaku left? That is, does the system look like a totally legit 3.68 Vita or are the still remnants that can be detected (if someone was looking...)?

4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup water
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, melted
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound powdered sugar, well sifted

Review: 'Ondine' arises from the sea in a net
Drama. Starring Colin Farrell, Alicja Bachleda and Alison Barry. Directed by Neil Jordan. (PG-13. 111 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
It's easy to say nice things about "Ondine," so long as we overlook the actual experience of watching it. In many ways this is a good movie, aside from the fact that it's slow, that the thick Irish accents are hard to penetrate and that it never achieves any sense of urgency, even as it heads toward the climax. If this movie were a human being, it would be intelligent and sincere but so depressed as to be unable to get out of bed without a forklift.
Directed by Neil Jordan, it's a movie of moments. A good moment here, a good moment there, with lots of nothing in between. Those who enjoy "Ondine" will not see the nothing as nothing - they will see it as atmosphere, and in the end they might be right. It's all a matter of how much you want to linger in rural Ireland, casting about on the sea, fishing for lobster, and watching Colin Farrell pretending to be humble and insecure.
One day Farrell, as a mild, divorced, lonesome, recovering alcoholic fisherman named Syracuse, pulls up his net, and lo and behold, there's a beautiful woman inside it. She's not a mermaid, but she could be a selkie, which is even better, because selkies aren't like fish from the waist down. Ondine, who is played by Alicja Bachleda, a striking-looking actress from Mexico by way of Poland, doesn't want to be seen by anyone besides Syracuse. But she soon meets Syracuse's little daughter, Annie, who is suffering from kidney failure and gets around in a wheelchair.
As played by young Alison Barry, little Annie is as adorable as Dickens' Tiny Tim, until she opens her mouth - and then this picture of tragic fragility and blighted, frail loveliness transforms into a know-it-all child actress with a snotty, singsong delivery. Little Annie, an expert on selkies, takes a great interest in Ondine and hopes that she'll stay to become Syracuse's partner in the journey of life.
Notice this: I've told you a few of the opening details of "Ondine," and yet none of this constitutes the beginning to any kind of story that might incite viewer interest. Maybe she's a selkie, maybe she's not a selkie. Maybe Syracuse will have a good day on the boat and bring back a lot of fish this morning. None of it matters much either way.
This is a story without consequence, filled with inactive, unmotivated characters who either don't or can't do anything. It's surprising that writer-director Jordan ("The Crying Game"), who has been making movies for a long time, would offer something so listless.
Yet a certain romantic appeal carries the movie halfway. "Ondine" is essentially a film about how nice it would be to throw a net overboard and come up with Alicja Bachleda. Jordan will get no arguments on that score, and he may inspire lots of lonely men to take up boating.
-- Advisory: Some violence.

Gay and Catholic, Part I: Gaystation Two
7 comments:
As a gay person who is married I actually agree with you that the Bible is against gay relationships. Where I disagree is that is somehow the word a supreme being. These were merely words written by humans reflecting their times. I know many Christians including many Catholics like my whole family who feel the same way.ReplyDeleteReplies
To be sure; part of my reason for writing this series is to articulate why, much though I'd like to, I don't share their view of the matter. And after all, even if we regard the Bible in a purely human light and as the product of its time, aren't we also the products of our time? Wherever we obtain them, we need principles that stand the test of time, rather than principles that move with the times; unless we are content that our grandchildren should recognize us for the same kind of narrow-minded brutes that we recognize our grandfathers as.Delete
Thank you for your honesty. Have you heard of Joseph Sciambra? He is also a SSA Catholic and blogs about his journey on a website bearing his name. I am a convert as well. Although I don't struggle with the same things you do, I understand the feeling of knowing what is true, even if it's difficult. "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of everlasting life."ReplyDeleteReplies
I know of Joseph Sciambra, but I know very little about him. I have to admit that this is because the little I have heard has been rather off-putting -- not that I wish to denigrate his testimony, you understand, but that (1) it's testimony of a highly atypical experience of the gay world, and (2) further knowledge of it would probably give me too many ideas.Delete
Thank you for this. I hate it too. Sigh.ReplyDelete
Working my way through this series and really, really appreciating it. Your integrity and fortitude are impressive, which maybe is cold comfort given the difficulty of what you're trying to do, but damn, is it impressive, all the same.ReplyDelete

Thank you for this helpful post! Figuring out one's identity is hard, isn't it? And then finding the most appropriate label for that identity sometimes feels even more difficult. I've reflected a bit on this post over on my blog: "Side B vs. Side Y."ReplyDelete

Ticked off Tuesday questions, she was her own damn person edition
I don't think there's any decent way to start a post about the subject of L'Wren Scott's suicide other than to express my sympathies for her loved ones. Obviously, I did not know her, but suicide is a tragic end for a person's life, and it's very sad to read reports of the struggles that marked hers toward its end. May she rest in peace.
I imagine Ms. Scott's name does not ring many bells for readers here at Ordinary Times. This is not a blog that devotes itself much to high fashion, after all. Just like I would probably not recognize the name of [moderately famous athlete here], our readership probably doesn't recognize hers.
For people who happen to enjoy awards shows, however, and who happen to enjoy all the chatter before and after about who's wearing what gown (that is to say, people like me), hers was a familiar name. Though I can't remember which famous actresses wore her dresses at which awards shows, I heard the name "L'Wren Scott" mentioned often enough to note it.
Yesterday my Twitter feed started showing mentions of the death of Mick Jagger's girlfriend. Not being all that keen to learn the details of what, to me, seems like a private tragedy for a person who happens to be famous, I didn't click through. And then I saw a tweet that mentioned the death of Ms. Scott. "How sad," I thought.
I had no idea they were the same person until I finally stumbled across a headline that included both Ms. Scott's name and the fact that she had been in a relationship with Mr. Jagger. Headline after headline identified her as "Mick Jagger's girlfriend," as though there were nothing more of note to her life. As though her entire personal identity were subsumed by that one data point.
Gross. Insulting. Appalling.
L'Wren Scott was an accomplished human being in her own right. Whatever you think about the fashion industry and whatever the problems her business may have run into, it is a major achievement within that industry to dress people for the Academy Awards. She was more than someone's girlfriend, no matter how famous that person may be.
If the only thing you can say about a person upon their demise is that they dated a celebrity, then grant them to dignity of privacy posthumously. If you considered them too obscure in life to learn their names, then don't trouble their passing with scrutiny in death. And if they were noteworthy enough in life for their passing to be news, the very least you could do is use their actual names when reporting it.
I know this post is a wee bit angrier than my usual Tuesday fare, but the nauseating and egregious sexism of this reporting has made me unhappy all morning. In lieu of an actual question, consider this an open thread about celebrity media coverage.
Update: A lovely salute to L'Wren Scott's work can be found here.

At the gregarious banquet hosted by Indian leadership, sitting side-by-side, delightfully enjoying with the most appetizing Mughlai Pakwan (Moghul Cuisine), Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf addressed the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh to seize that amazing moments of friendship and to make it impossible for reversing the ongoing efforts of peace and harmony between the two great nations of India and Pakistan. The Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also responded with the same kinds of gestures of companionship.
I repeatedly said in my past articles on Indo-Pak relations that maintaining trust and confidence at all levels must be the on-going activities to furnish peace and harmony between India and Pakistan. There should be measures of un-interrupted dialogue process and holding of events of promoting friendship. This will eventually lead to discuss and resolve the core issue of Kashmir.
Adoring cricket the people of India and Pakistan displayed unforgettable images of harmony and synchronization in their attitude during the last one-day match between India and Pakistan played at the Kotla Stadium Delhi. Waving Pakistani flags with Indian, side-by-side, painting Pakistani flag on one chick and Indian on the other by young boys and girls were the remarkable images for which not only millions of people in subcontinent were waiting for but the entire world community looking for this relationship of love and peace to be maintained. Though President Musharraf's visit to India was proclaiming as to witness the last one-day cricket match at Kotla Stadium Delhi, nevertheless, in reality, the leaders of both the countries wanted to avail the cricket-event in discussing and promoting better understanding and developing more trust building measures on on-going measures of friendship. The presence of President Musharraf in the Kotla stadium with Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh welcoming and wishing the people present in the stadium were the splendid moments of history. No doubt, the credit goes to the Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and to their respective governments who have shown enormous efforts, sincerity and patience to further exhibit the indulgent and stage the gestures of friendly relationship at the level best.
Certainly, still both sides have not yet open their cards to negotiate the deal on Kashmir and are loudly determined on their principle stand of not accepting the LOC or changing the map at the borders, nevertheless, it is good to see that now Kashmiri activist are also showing great deal of realization and accepting that dialogue and diplomacy are the only means of resolving the issue of Kashmir. In a joint statement, President Musharraf and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh showed their determination to address the issue of Jammu and Kashmir and common consents to continue discussions until the final settlement on Kashmir is achieved. Both the governments are now showing great deal of agreements on strengthening their relations through launching the activities of mutual benefits and producing friendly and neighbourly relations. Reopening the consulate offices in Karachi and Mumbai by the respective governments and commencing to open Khokhrapar-Munabao border for the public are the great announcements and positive steps in promoting people-to-people contacts. Intending to declare India as favourite nation by Pakistan will be another big step by Pakistani government which will provide immense confidence and pleasure to India to come forward and offering much more to Pakistan. These steps will certainly provide huge opportunities to the people of India and Pakistan in trade, art, entertainment and in many other business areas.
Going back to the core issue of Kashmir, one reason the leaderships of both the countries are not yet flexible on their stands as they still understand that their going to be backlash from those elements who are fanatics and don't want to see Indo-Pak friendship. These elements and groups, without wasting time will agitate people to come on the streets and sabotage the entire process of peace and friendship. However, sooner or later there would be a phase where the leaders and the governments of India and Pakistan will have to face and deal on the basis of "give and take". And on this basis both will have to loose something and gain something. Now to provide and maintain confidence to the leaders and governments of both the countries to go openly for the deal this is the responsibility of the people of India and Pakistan to openly condemn those forces who are anti the Indo-Pak friendship. In this mission, media who has been playing an excellent role in promoting the positive roles of both the governments and their heads can play continuous and major role to realise the people of both the countries that they should think realistically and optimistically and accept needs of the time in their interest.
More role can also be played by intellectuals, artists, social dignatories and non-governmental organisations and groups can also play a vital role in maintaining the peace process smoothly. More ongoing social and cultural events should be arranged where the prominent people from media, art, culture, literature and the representative of non-political organizations should be invited to exchange their views and boldly discuss the options of on the solution of Kashmir with logical reasons. More forums and debates should be organized in India and Pakistan and in other countries by the overseas Indians and Pakistanis where the issues should be addressed in a freely and friendly environment and the options of settlement should be forwarded discussed.

As the premier painting contractors in Columbia, we do our best to keep up with the latest trends in painting and color choices. We strive to bring these to our customer's attention so that they can be the first to see new potential aesthetics for their homes and how to better affix their character to their space and make it their own. We believe that color and the feelings surrounding it is one of the most efficient ways that you can make a home entirely yours. We have found that this ceiling trend is one of the most unique and effective ways to define a space. The trick is, though, to know how to pair the coloring of your ceiling with the colors on your wall. Below, we'll guide you in a couple of different ways to take advantage of this unique idea and reap its benefits.
The Benefits of Interior Ceiling Painting
Mainly, it's going to make your room look bigger. This trend originally took hold in both the Victorian era and again in mid-century modern homes with tiny rooms and slow slung ceilings. From a variety of designers' last attempts to create the illusion of space in the room, they used a variety of darker colors on the ceiling. The key is in being able to balance those colors against each other because pairing a wall color with a white ceiling is a whole different color pairing task than pairing contrasting or like-hued colors. However, the unique look of the dramatic ceiling and the open feeling of the room is well-worth the hassle.
Balancing Color
We have a variety of articles regarding the various ways that you can go about pairing colors using color theories. The hardest part of understanding the color theory in a room, however, is based on the amount of natural light the room receives and where the light falls. Dark-colored ceilings, used to recreate the feeling of the night sky rather than a massive expanse of black, can either open the room up or close the room down based solely off of the amount of natural light. If you have big ceilings and plenty of natural light, you'll be totally safe with a black or even dark navy blue or emerald green ceiling. This can even work well with an area that has plenty of natural light but is a small, relatively cramped room. If you're very attached to a darker color adorning your ceiling, you might try spreading the color down onto the walls with painted crown molding or something similar to relieve the darkness the room might suddenly have then. Bright colors can also be equally tricky.
Contact Us
If you're interested in a color consultation to help you figure out how to capitalize on your own color schemes and the character of your home's architecture, contact us. We can help you figure out the proper coloring for your newly painted ceiling based off of the various natural light and ceiling height. Together, we can redefine your architecture's character and bring new life to your space. Read more about this unique trend in our upcoming blog where we'll talk more about specific color trends and how our painting contractors can help you execute a new look for your Columbia home.

Osinbajo Gets The Support Of Buhari As The President Shows Sign Of Return To The Country
The Nation is reporting that President Muhammadu Buhari is weighing two option which include returning back to Nigeria or apply for his accumulated annual leave.
According to the report, the president is said to be keen on returning home so as to quell speculations about him.
According to the Nation, the options being weighed by Buhari include: One is: be back in two weeks time while the other is to apply for his accumulated annual leave to enable him complete his medicals before returning to his desk.
However, the report says the president has given his full backing of acting president Osinbajo.
The report also says that President Buhari and some of his associates were worried by speculations about his medical trip and are now disposed to clearing the air on his well being.
The source said: "There are two options being considered. One of it is the likely return of the President within the next two weeks to put all speculations on his health to rest, and for him to decide some outstanding issues.
"The alternative is to apply for his accumulated annual leave to complete his medicals and the last leg of his recuperation before coming back to his desk.
"In spite of the fact that the President's notice to the National Assembly is still subsisting, his return might douse tension in the country including intra-cabinet intrigues."
Responding to a question, the source said: "I think none of the options has been agreed on."
Going further, the Nation also confirmed that the Buhari and Osinbajo actually met for an hour on Tuesday.
"They had a robust audience and the President told Osinbajo, "any decision you take, you have my backing. Make sure you keep the country united." The President has full confidence in his deputy," one of the sources said.
"And the Acting President has been loyal and sustaining the vision of the President."
Going further, the report also said that a truce is very likely over the face-off between the executives and the legislators.
"Osinbajo is trying to bridge the communication gap between the Executive and the Legislature. This was why he met with the leaders of the National Assembly.
"I can assure you that a truce is likely. The only outstanding matter is the fate of the Acting Chairman of EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu which only the President will decide.
"At the Thursday session, issues bordering on the budget, compliance with resolutions and summons and others were mutually discussed."
The picture showed the president sitting on a char wearing a brown robe and was tagged as the first leaked picture of Buhari since his travel to London for medical treatment.

We both had about 1.5 weeks off from work in September to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and randomly decided to try our hands at traveling abroad again.
This time: Spain
Hubs has been wanting to travel to Mallorca after seeing pictures of Chris Sharma deep water soloing (rock climbing). We did our research, looked at prices, and decided it would be PERFECT for the two of us.
There would be enough adventuring for the hubs, and some beautiful beaches to relax on.
We spent 2.5 days in Barcelona - I really like to consider these the jet-lag days. We spent most of our time peeling our eyelids up and trying not to sweat through our clothes in the 95+ humidity weather.
.... we weren't very successful.
But that's ok, because by the time we got to Mallorca we were fully awake and ready to explore!
I'll share some photos from the trip but I'll probably post more detailed posts later on. For now I'd like to leave you with a few observations I made during our stay in Spain:
1. Smokers.... everywhere.
The hubs and I struggled with the amount of smoking in Spain. We'd find ourselves running to walk in front on someone so that we wouldn't be behind their plume of smoke, only to be caught behind someone else smoking again.
From eating breakfast/lunch/dinner to walking on the beaches, you can't escape the cigarette smoke. Maybe I'm just overly sensitive to it, but it will make me reconsider visiting Europe any time soon.
2. No Cell Phones
Ok.... not period. But at one point I asked Aaron if he noticed how the teenagers were actually talking to each other and not glued to their cell phones. Very rarely would we see any one sitting at a park bench with their nose glued to their phone. They'd be engaging in conversation with others, watching people, reading a newspaper, eating, etc.
And it was the teenagers especially who shocked me the most. They'd be in groups talking to each other and not ONE would have a cell phone out!
How refreshing.
3. Selfie sticks are worshipped.
What. A. Crackup. EVERYONE had selfie sticks. There were even vendors at the main tourist attractions that would rent them for the silly tourists who forgot theirs. At first we thought it was a joke - then we realized it was real.
For now I leave you with my few observations above, and some photos from our journey. I apologize ahead of time for the poor image quality. Adios!

Wide receiver Corey Fuller possesses intriguing potential, but he might not be the best option to help the Lions win games in 2014.
(Mike Mulholland | MLive.com)
ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions will need to trim its roster to 53 players in the next 10 days. The team faces a number of difficult decisions -- from whether to keep three quarterbacks to which kicker to take into the regular season.
Roster reduction is a collaborative effort. The team's front office works hand in hand with the coaching staff, but ultimately, final decisions will be made by general manager Martin Mayhew.
"Without question, Martin has the final say on things in that regard," coach Jim Caldwell said. "But he is like a lot of the great GMs that I've been around, they take everyone's information. We look at it from an assistant coach's standpoint, from the head coach's standpoint, from all angles you deal with, how it affects you in so many different areas.
"It's not something that happens the day before we're getting ready to make the reductions," Caldwell continued. "We toil over it, we talk about it and discuss it and try to get down to where we think it's best."
If Caldwell was making the final decisions, he'd lean toward production over potential because the primary function of his position is to produce victories.
"I'm in the business of winning games and winning games now," Caldwell said. "So the most important thing to me is getting guys who can be in a position to help us win right now. There are other, businesses (and) positions within the organization that may look at it differently, but we have to look at it as coaches. We're looking for the best guy to help us win, at this particular moment in time, and that's what counts for us."
Caldwell's preferences would appear to favor veterans with track records over unproven talent. That would give an edge to a wide receiver like Kris Durham, who has worked with the first-team offense when Calvin Johnson has been held out, over a player like Corey Fuller, who possess intriguing potential, but has had minimal opportunities to work with the top unit against true NFL-caliber defenders.
Other unproven prospects at the NFL level, such as quarterback Kellen Moore, safety Jerome Couplin and running back George Winn, face similar uphill battles down the stretch.
All three players have garnered attention for their preseason performances, but that success has come almost exclusively in the second half of games, when third-string players square off against each other.
But Caldwell's opinion is just one voice in the discussion, albeit an important one. Mayhew will make the final calls, and he's shown a willingness to role the dice on unproven talent in the past. A general manager has a greater responsibility to balance the immediate desire to win while building for the future.
Just last season, the Lions rostered two undrafted free agents, offensive tackle LaAdrian Waddle and Joseph Fauria. Both went on to make significant contributions as rookies.

GLTN supports the development, recognition and application of the Continuum of Land Rights. This inclusive, pro-poor and gender-responsive approach incorporates tenure rights that are documented as well as undocumented, formal as well as informal, for individuals as well as groups, including pastoralists and residents of slums and other settlements, which may be legal or not legal. The continuum approach works with what is already in place and incorporates it into a land information management system caters for the whole spectrum of formal, informal and customary land rights in the country.
According to GLTN "We can view rights to land as lying on a continuum. At one end are formal land rights, where the owner is an individual, who holds a set of registered rights to a parcel of land that are enshrined in law; the parcel is delineated on a map held in a records office; the owner has the right to occupy the land, build on it (subject to approvals), sell it, rent it out, transfer it to his or her heirs, and prevent other people from coming on to it. At the informal end of the continuum are informal rights; a group of individuals (such as a clan) who may have traditional rights to use a piece of land. The boundaries of the land may not be clearly marked on the ground or on a map, and there may be no official paperwork certifying who owns or has what rights to the land. In between these two extremes are a wide range of rights."

Ah, Mortal Kombat's Scorpion — yellow-clad nutter or misunderstood anti-hero? That is the question. Regardless, our morally ambiguous, spear-shooting warrior of darkness has spawned one of the most iconic catchphrases in gaming history — his throaty "Get over here!" — and remains a firm fan favorite 19 years since his debut in the inaugural Mortal Kombat. With the franchise getting its much-anticipated, eponymous reboot this week, what better way to make the occasion than shining the spotlight on one of its most iconic fighters? As part of the bloody brawler's ubiquitous ninja clan — which over the years has comprised of fellow combatants such as Sub-Zero, Rain, Smoke, and Reptile — the Scorpster distinguishes himself as more than just a palette swap thanks to an array of meaty maneuvers, including the aforementioned spear attack and teleport punch. These attacks form the meat and potatoes of Scorpion's deadly repertoire, which has remained virtually untouched over the years in terms of trademark moves.
Latter installments would augment the former assassin with a couple of nasty axes, which he used to devastating effect in Ultimate Mortal Kombat III. Furthermore, his finishing moves are equally memorable, ranging from deep frying his victims alive, making them soil their pants with a jack-in-the-box, to, most bizarrely, transforming into a penguin before laying an explosive egg. Boom, limbs go flying. Voiced by series mastermind Ed Boon , Scorpion — real name Hanzo Hasashi — has popped up in virtually all major installments in the bloody beat 'em up franchise, and has been portrayed by three actors over the years: Daniel Pesina (MK & MK II), John Turk (MK III & MK Trilogy) and Sal Divita (MK: SM). The ninja spectre's appearances haven't been just limited to video games, either. In addition to showing up in both film adaptations, Scorpion also popped up in comic books, TV series, and an animated cartoon series.
The Scorpster's story is very much your bread-and-butter tale of revenge. In his human days, Hasashi-san was a member of the Shirai Ryu Ninja clan, much to his father's chagrin. A proud dad himself, Scorpion brushed aside his pop's pleas for him to adopt a more traditional lifestyle, feeling the way of the assassin would facilitate his desires of offering is family a cozy, carefree lifestyle. Unfortunately, Scorpion falls at the hands of ice-throwing ninja bloke Sub-Zero after both men find themselves tracking down a hidden map in a crumbling Shaolin Temple, sending the now-deceased Hasahi down into the depths of the NetherRealm. Necromancer Quan-Chi later has Hasahi-san's entire family and clan brutally murdered as payment for Sub-Zero's accomplishment. Now an undead warrior, Scorpion enters the inaugural Mortal Kombat tournament in hopes of eliminating his killer. He ultimately succeeds.
Sometime later, however, a bemused Scorpion hears down the grape vine that Sub-Zero is looking to participate in the second tournament, and enters to get the skinny on this apparently new contender. It later transpires that Sub-Zero #2 is actually the younger sibling of the man who snuffed out Scorpion's life, and has entered the fray to silence soul-sucking sorcerer, Shang Tsung. Scorpion subsequently vows to protect the young Sub-Zero in atonement for bumping off his bro. Upon returning to the NetherRealm after the tournament, our spear-throwing supremo pops up again in the events of Ultimate Mortal Kombat III following Shao Kahn's attempts to invade earth, and quickly finds himself aligned with the forces of good after he discovers Sub-Zero is one of the chosen warriors picked to defend the human realm. Earth ultimately triumphs against Kahn, with Scorpion once again retiring to the NetherRealm.
Mortal Kombat IV finds the undead masked man siding with chrome dome Quan Chi, who spins Scorpion a porky pie about the young Sub-Zero being personally responsible for the death of his family and old clan. Seeing red, Scorpion is once again inexorably drawn towards his former 'ally' and gives him a pasting, but not before Quan-Chi unveils the truth behind what really happen. Miffed that he's been played like a puppet all this time, the yellow ninja punishes the dastardly sorcerer to the pits of the NetherRealm. Here, Quan-Chi is subjected to numerous torture sessions at the ninja spectre's hands, until he is ultimately freed when demon duo Drahmin and Moloch invade the hellish dimension, sending the former assassin on a hunt for the sorcerer, events of which transpire during MK: Deadly Alliance. He's later set upon once again by Drahmin and Moloch, but manages to escape and bumps into the Elder Gods, who send him on a new mission — seek out and eliminate the being known as Onaga.
Things take a drastic turn during MK: Armageddon, however, where the undead warrior is depicted as making a deal with the Elder Gods to serve them in exchange for the resurrection of his wife, son, and former clan members. Scorpion is later miffed to discover, however, that they've been given a new lease of 'life' as it were as the walking dead. Furious, the masked ninja seeks to nab Blaze's power for himself in an effort to subvert the Gods' chance of stopping Armageddon. If you're going through the game as the Scorpster, then we later find out that his former clan were fully resurrected, though Scorpion's son is abducted by Quan-Chi and taken to the hellish pits of the NetherRealm. Livid at the evil necromancer's actions, the yellow-clad ninja dispatches his clan to liberate the child and silence Quan-Chi once and for all.
With the franchise being rebooted in April 2011, Scorpion once again forms the nucleus of the core Mortal Kombat cast, and more than likely will once again find himself at logger heads with Sub-Zero. How will things pan out? We'll just have to wait and see.

A new program in New England called Water Warriors Initiatives is doing double duty by bolstering the water/wastewater industry's aging workforce and helping U.S. Armed Forces veterans find quality careers.
The joint effort by the New England Water Environment Association (NEWEA) and its affiliated state associations aims to recruit and retain veterans in the water and wastewater infrastructure fields by offering G.I. Bill-qualified training with a stipend up to $2,000 per month for two years.
The idea is that employers can beat the wage gap and attract younger skilled workers, while the veterans can shoot for higher water/wastewater licenses sooner to encourage them to make a career in the industry.
Another aspect working well for Water Warriors Initiatives is that many of the equipment maintenance and science-based skills learned in the U.S. Armed Forces translate well into a career as a water or wastewater treatment plant operator.
Program objectives include providing education and training opportunities, streamlining the certification process for veterans, and providing placement assistance and internships.
Water Warriors Initiatives recently was discussed during a panel at NEWEA's annual conference in Boston, Massachusetts, and also was featured in a Words On Water podcast with guests Brandi Madden of WhiteWater and Dustin Price of the Portland (Maine) Water District. Madden is a water purification specialist in the 125th Quartermaster Company with the Massachusetts Army National Guard and serves as the unit's retention noncommissioned officer and career counselor.
