KORONADAL CITY –The long process of securing permits for renewable energy projects has been delaying the generation of an additional 355 megawatts of electricity for Mindanao, a Department of Energy official.
Mario Marasigan, director of DOE's Energy Utilization and Management Bureau, said a proponent needs to seek at least 100 signatories to pursue an RE project.
The RE projects, which were awarded by the Department of Energy to various companies in the different parts of Mindanao recently, include 43 hydropower plants.
"We're working to drastically shortcut the process," he told reporters recently in an energy workshop in Manila.
Marasigan said most of the signatories required in pursuing an RE project "are not from the DOE" but from other government agencies, including local governments down to the barangay level.
He said that for a one-megawatt RE project, the "highest number of signatories they monitored reached 139, with just 30 coming from the DOE."
Sources of RE include water, solar, wind and geothermal, to name a few.
Until now, Mindanao's power supply comes mostly from RE through the hydropower plants operated by the state-owned National Power Corp. (Napocor), at 52 percent of the supply chart.
Romeo Montenegro, Mindanao Development Authority director for investment promotion and public affairs, said that while the government is pushing for renewable energy to help stabilize power supply in the island, committed and indicative investments in the area are still dominated by fossil fuel sources.
"Coal is the in thing," he said of the new and potential power generating facilities coming up in Mindanao.
The share of fossil fuels in the island's energy mix is rising and we have yet to fully tap clean, renewable and indigenous power sources to minimize the environment cost, Montenegro said.
To develop an RE project, he said the developer needs at least seven years to get approvals and another two years for the permitting proces
Montenegro said the committed power generating projects that are expected to go on stream in Mindanao between this year to 2016 can produce 580 MW–of which 500 MW is from coal, 30 MW from oil and 50 MW from geothermal.
On the other hand, Montenegro said that as of March 2013, the indicative coal power projects for Mindanao with target commissioning until 2020 reached 1,825 MW, of which 1,200 MW is proposed by diversified beverage giant San Miguel Corp.
The indicative RE projects in Mindanao, also as of March 2013, would produce only 107 MW, he added.
Mindanao's power supply problem will persist if no new generation facilities will go on stream in the next two to three years, Montenegro noted.
Nowadays, Mindanao has sufficient power supply, but the brownouts that hit parts of the island lasting up to eight hours daily a few months ago would be back starting August up to December because power plants are scheduled to go on preventive maintenance shutdown, he said.
The brownouts that hit parts of Mindanao prior to the May 13 elections were blamed on the reduced generation capability of Napocor's hydropower plants due to the dams' declining water level.

A thug who broke a man's jaw after he challenged him for damaging his car has been jailed.
Liam Barrick, 23, carried out the attack following a late-night disturbance in a street in Tingley on January 4.
Duncan Ritchie, prosecuting, told Leeds Crown Court how Barrick could be heard shouting and swearing in The Avenue as he argued with a woman. Barrick had been drinking and shouted: "I will take anyone on."
A couple living in the street heard the disturbance as they were about to get into bed and looked out of the window. They saw Barrick do a "karate kick" on their car, causing £500 worth of damage. Barrick then smashed the window of another vehicle before running off.
Mr Ritchie said the couple got dressed and went to find Barrick. They approached him a short distance away on Bradford Road. Barrick then punched the male victim and knocked him to the ground. He then threatened to stab his partner.
The victim was bleeding heavily to the mouth from the single blow.
He was taken to hospital and had to undergo an operation to have metal plates fitted to his face.
The court heard he had to go on a liquid diet as a result of his injuries and continues to suffer pain.
Barrick, now of Dodsworth Avenue, York, pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm and two offences of criminal damage He has previous convictions for violent offences.
Narinder Rathour, mitigating, said Barrick was sorry for what he had done.
Recorder Anthony Hawks said: "You were in the street making a drunken nuisance of yourself.
"What difficulties (the victim) has suffered is a result of your drunken behaviour."

'Hardy is the very essence of French style.' - Nicolas Ghesquière
Rising to fame as a singer in the 1960's, it was Françoise Hardy's fashion choices that secured her identity at the time. Easily relatable even now thanks to the cyclical nature of fashion, her look was a combination of wide-bottomed flares, mini skirts and statement hats.

Florida Keys Bike Ride
Florida Keys Bike Ride – Brother Al and I rode our bikes down the Overseas Heritage Trail from just south of Key Largo (MM 103.5) to Zero Duval Street (MM 0) in January. We decided to try this in two rides.
The first day (January 15th) was from a Marriott in Key Largo just north of the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park to Duck Key (north of Marathon) where we stayed at the Hawk's Cay Resort. We ended the ride at Ocean Key Resort at Zero Duval Street in Key West on the 18th.
The Overseas Heritage Trail is still a work in progress. The state of Florida conceptualized the trail in 1997 as a means for bicyclists to avoid (or at least reduce) exposure to the heavy traffic on Highway 1; the only highway from mainland Florida to Key West.
The original connection between all of the "Keys" or Cays (Spanish for island) was first made by the Florida East Coast Railway headed by industrial magnate Henry Flagler. Once the railroad route was connected all the way in 1912, it was dubbed by some as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" and by others as "Flagler's Folly". In fact, Flagler died soon after the last connection was made to Key West and the railroad was bankrupt by 1935 when a massive hurricane destroyed 40 miles of the track sinking it for good.
There are still 23 historic bridges left and a good deal of the fun we had on the rides was riding over some and marveling at others. Our first day of riding was unseasonably cool and quite windy. About 60 degrees to start, it seemed cooler than that due to the gusty NNW wind coming off the Gulf of Mexico. To some degree, we had a tailwind and sailed along pretty quickly after we started around 11AM. Unfortunately, the southern end of Key Largo fades into The Town of Tavernier and then to Islamorada. All three of these areas are pretty touristy with enough land on both sides of the road to prevent a water view for most of the way. The trail also jumps back and forth across the road so you have to be very vigilant.
We ended up riding on the shoulder of the highway which wasn't too narrow in most places but the traffic is heavy with a good deal of truck traffic. Where the separate bike trail exists, it is narrow enough for two way traffic to be dicey. Also, it was constructed long enough ago that tree roots have pushed up the asphalt so it is difficult to carry any speed in those sections on a road bike. Most of the time it is on the northbound side but not always! The shoulder riding was a bit nerve racking in the more urban areas as multiple businesses connect directly to the road you are on. So you have to be extra careful to watch for vehicles turning off the road right in front of you.
The views get better after Islamorada. We happened upon a brand new section of the trail (about a month old) when we stopped to get drinks at a little bakery/café. This new section was not marked well (one small sign with no more than an arrow) and we missed quite a long section of it. Also, you do ride on a couple of fairly long bridges between miles marker 74 and about 70. One is 3 miles long and the other 5. This was really the riding we had been looking for. The state has added a nice layer of concrete to the old railway bridges with new railings. There are lots of people fishing on these bridges but we found them to be very courteous. The wind was still gusting though and we got blown around pretty good on the open sections. We concluded our first day at a bit more than 43 miles. I later found out that I had picked up a nail on that last stretch but made it to Hawk's Cay without having a flat. Whew!

The highlight of our townhome location was a big old iguana sunning on the beach. We knocked around the Duck's Key area and had two excellent meals at the aptly named Hideaway Grill (above the office in a trailer park) and the equally eclectic Grassy Key Outpost. This latter place is quite new and is easy to find since it is right on the highway. The unusual part is that the tables are in a grocery store. They didn't take reservations but we were able to get in OK. It features excellent food and service in a very casual setting. You can even buy beverages in the store with your dinner but they have better quality options on the menu as well.
We left a bit earlier the next day as the wind had moderated a bit. We also had further to go (it turned out to be 62 miles). The temps climbed into the mid 60's. We had sunny days for the entire trip, by the way.
As we made our way through Marathon, one of the biggest towns along the way, we came across a big traffic jam. When you only have one road, any traffic problems become big traffic problems! Well, the night before we left, a bar/restaurant just before the Seven Mile Bridge at the southern end of Marathon had burned to the ground. We passed most of the traffic on the shoulder but had to maneuver around the police and fire vehicles parked along the shoulder.
The Seven Mile Bridge is both an intriguing and a frustrating part of the trail. As you get to either end of the old railroad bridge there are parking areas and lots of folks going for a stroll, bike ride or just taking pictures. All the attention is on the old bridge with its rusty steel railings. The new bridge is right next to it, higher and carrying all the car and truck traffic. Of course, it is not all that scenic, although the water on both sides is a gorgeous color of mixed blues and greens (depending on the depth). Fortunately, Al had done some research on the trail the night before and we discovered that the old bridge had gaps in it. We were very disappointed when we realized that we had to ride seven miles over the new bridge with the traffic whizzing by a 65 mph…. No choice, though.
So we stopped and enjoyed the old bridge for awhile, back tracked and hit the new shoulder on the new bridge. While not too steep, it does get your heart pumping a bit, partially from exertion, partly because of the fear of trucks and motor homes zinging past your left shoulder at high speed. The shoulder is about three feet wide but there is the typical amount of debris so take care! It was interesting to look over and see the old bridge with the bikers and joggers. There's even a small island with its only access provided by the old bridge. It had some commercial establishments on it so it might be fun to ride to it. However, you'd have to back track several miles and then do what we did; ride all seven miles on the new bridge.
After the small island, you see two gaps in the old bridge. This left one small section inaccessible to all but the pelicans and other sea birds. Pretty soon you will see the southern section of the old bridge with its own set of fishermen, joggers and bikers. If they could possibly improve the entire seven miles like the other upgraded old bridges, it would be the highlight of the trail. Unfortunately, a sign on the northern end reports that the supports are deteriorating. They might even have to close it to foot and bike traffic eventually.
We took another break at the south end and chatted with a group of guys who were doing the ride in smaller pieces than we were but it fun to compare notes.
We didn't have time to stop but Bahia Honda State Park (MM 35) looks like it would be fun. There's a section of old railway bridge left that apparently connected the island to the main railway route for construction and supply purposes.
We hit another traffic jam further down. Expecting to see another accident or other casualty, we passed dozens of vehicles on the right shoulder. Surprise; it was a flea market! This was Pine Key where you bend a bit northwest. It is a larger island so you lose your water views for awhile but not for long. This southern section of the ride was, far and away, my favorite part. You see less commercial/tourist attraction stuff and much more of the natural settings. Lots of awesome water views.
There are many bridges in this section. You have to be vigilant once again because the trail is much more of a work in progress here. The trail goes over some of the bridges but not all. They've also used more asphalt on these newer sections of trail so the tree roots and two-way traffic won't be as much of a problem as it is on the northern end.
As you might expect, traffic picks up both on the road and on the trail as you approach Key West. Our hotel was at the very southern end of Duval Street so our plan was to skirt the center of Key West by following the perimeter road around on the Gulf side. The Atlantic side has the airport but also a nice beach park (Higgs) if you go that way. Our route was really just a broad section of city sidewalk and unfortunately it was also under construction most of the way. We literally had to climb over barriers and lift the bikes over behind us a one point. In the completed sections, we had to dodge all sorts of walkers (some with open beverages), bikers, skaters, etc. Very busy place!
As we got into the older section, the street became very narrow and car traffic became very sparse. Bikers, scooters and walkers pretty much rule the roads in these areas. We easily passed several vehicles due to that advantage. So our finale was much more fun than day one's ride.

Key West is quite the experience. We had the best weather of the trip; t-shirt and shorts weather with sunny skies and pleasant breezes. Duval Street is a great place to stroll and "people watch"; you will see all kinds of folks. We had dinner at Hog's Breath followed by a visit to Sloppy Joe's; reportedly Hemingway's favorite watering hole. On our full day, there, we took a glass bottom boat out the coral reef a few miles south. That was fun as was the marine life and plants on the reef. The sheer variety of watercraft you see ranges from giant cruise ships to jet skies and kayaks. Sailboats are all over; we also saw a few races. The USS Cole was docked there; this is the destroyer attacked by terrorists in Yemen 13 years ago. The sailors on board looked eager to get shore liberty.
Our hotel was right on Mallory Square where folks gather to see the sunset. The first night was a bit disappointing as we had a cloud bank on the distant southern horizon. The second one matched our expectations; with clear skies, vibrant colors and dozens of watercraft moving about. Key West also has quite few colorful wild roosters. Fun to see but they like to crow at all times of the day and night…
Key West seems like another world when you realize that the polar vortex is freezing Chicago in between snowstorms. So my question is "Why did we leave?"

Okay, so I just finished watching the project brief and I'm following directions. I didn't even get up for my colored pencils or paint. I just grabbed a pencil nearby and drew 10 quickie flowers without thinking.
10 more flowers today! If I keep this up, I'll be done in 10 days.
below is part of my mood board. I've included logos, gardens, trees, wildflowers, sketches and art pieces to inspire me. Maybe tomorrow I'll have time to use my art tools and make something pretty.
mind map
Today I pulled out markers, inktense pencils, a pan of watercolors and some pastels. It was fun getting my hands dirty for a few minutes. This makes 43. I'm almost to the halfway point. I'm sure my dip is coming, but I haven't hit it, yet.
sketching some lettering (if you can call it that) ha ha ha
paper flowers
more flowers
This makes 62 and I'm still on a roll!
So my boyfriend is making chilli and I'm getting in his way because I'm making flowers with the food. :) I used an onion for the first four and peppers for the next three and the last one is a combination of onions and peppers.
We're snowed in today, so I worked on several art projects. I tried my hand at origami flowers. The lotus fower with regular copy paper came out okay. Then I remembered I have some metallic origami paper. This random flat origami flower for kids came out so-so. The last one is a disaster. I was trying to make a lily since it's my favorite flower, but I can't understand the directions. So I'm posting my jacked up half a lily to show my effort.
I'm taking another class that requires me to learn to use vector images. I use Inkscape since I can't affored Illustrator right now. It's better than I expected for a free program, but you definitely need the tutorial. It's not really intuitive. When I finished part of that assigment today, I played around and made these flowers.
I played around with typography to make these flowers, and I think they turned out cute! I used the font Janda Apple Cobbler for the first two and Gabriola for the third one. This was a great exercise for learning to use type as objects. I not only changed the sizes of the letters, I also used the handles to distort the shapes.
Today I played with the 3D box tool.
Crochet flowers
more paper flowers
earphones and matches
semi precious stones, foil bead and felted balls, felted ball and glitter paper
butterfly wall hangings and pipe cleaners
screws, nuts, washers and molleys
more paper flowers
Hope you enjoyed my 100 flowers. I did!

The mystery of time has been examined in songs by everyone from Cyndi Lauper to REM and from Enya to Cher. It has been explored in classic movies such as "Groundhog Day" and "Back to the Future" and in books such as H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine."
The familiar elusiveness of time wraps around all of our days, figuring prominently in most aspects of life. All of this leads up to a deadline no one who has been the victim of negligence by a doctor should ignore: here in Kentucky, as well as in Ohio, you have exactly one year in which to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
The year begins when you discover the injury. Let's say you have undergone surgery, but find that you continue to suffer symptoms afterwards. A year after the initial surgery, you undergo another operation. In the second surgery it is found that the initial surgeon left a sponge inside you. The sponge and resultant infections are what caused your post-surgery symptoms.
So the clock on a medical malpractice claim would begin with the discovery of the sponge, rather than when the initial surgery took place. In this example, you might well have a good and reasonable claim to make against the negligent initial surgeon. But if you don't file a claim within that year, your claim might well never be heard by a court. Allowing that hard deadline to pass might end your chances of compensation for your damages.
An experienced Covington attorney can help you understand your options in your set of circumstances.

The recipe I'll share with you today is a family favorite and has been for many years. My sister introduced me to Ebly (wheatberries) about 6 years ago. The taste was so intriguing that we started experimenting by adding different ingredients. Wheatberries are so versatile and make great salads, side dishes, some people even have them for breakfast or you can just make this…
Mixed Vegetable Ebly
serves 2
You will need:
- 120g (about 3/4 cup) Ebly
- 1.5 cups water
- vegetable broth
- your favorite vegetables and legumes. suggestions: zucchini, eggplant, carrot, tomato, corn, mushroom, pepper, beans, etc.
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- parmesan, freshly grated
- salt, pepper, mixed herbs
- In a large pan (or wok) heat up the olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and stir.
- Add the Ebly and mix in with the garlic. Wait for about 2 minutes. Don't forget to stir.
- Add the water and wait for it to start boiling. You may also like to use vegetable broth instead of the water as it gives it a more intense flavor.
- After 3 minutes turn down the heat a little and wait for the Ebly to cook.
- In the meantime cut the vegetables into bite-size chunks and add them to the Ebly mixture. I always add the vegetables that need to cook longest first and tomatoes last.
- When the water has almost fully evaporated, add salt, pepper and herbs.
- Serve with freshly grated parmesan.
According to the Ebly container the recommended serving size per person is 60g but you will most likely have leftovers because the vegetables add a lot of volume. You might like to reduce the Ebly to 45g if you don't want any leftovers but really, I never mind having leftover Ebly because it is one of the most delicious foods around!

Ga. Company Recalls Halogen Bulbs
A Georgia company is recalling nearly 600,000 halogen light bulbs that may pose a fire hazard if used in floor lamps or other indoor light fixtures.
Cooper Lighting Inc., of Peachtree City, Ga., has not received any reports of fire or injury involving the bulbs, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday. But the 500-watt light bulbs, which generate very high temperatures, can start a fire if they come into contact with curtains, clothes or other flammable material, the commission said.
The recalled light bulbs, bearing model numbers WM500Q and BP500Q, do not contain warning labels that read, "Warning: Fire Hazard! Do Not Use in Torchieres Or Other Indoor Residential Fixtures." Cooper has asked retailers to add the label to bulb packaging currently on store shelves. All new 500-watt halogen bulbs will contain the label.
The bulbs were sold at Wal-Mart, Lowes and smaller retail outlets nationwide between January 1999 and October 2002.
Consumers can continue using the 500-watt halogen bulbs in outdoor work lights, flood lamps and other outdoor fixtures, the commission said.
Since 1992, halogen floor lamps have caused at least 290 fires and 25 deaths. To meet current safety standards, indoor halogen torchiere lamps must be equipped with a protective glass or wire guard and have a halogen bulb that is 300 watts or less, the commission said.
For more information on the recall, consumers can contact the company at 1-800-954-7145.

DS Bloggers at Your Service
Me, well, I did have time on my hands as I waited for my daughter to get through 16 weeks in the hospital, but it never occurred to me that there might be a Down syndrome blogging community. We did have lots of caring friends and strangers dropping off phone numbers for local Down syndrome groups and families willing to be contacted. But, being in the hospital everyday, we didn't have the energy or the free time for face-to-face relationships.
Once we got home, I felt very much alone. Like any Internet junkie, I hit the web. And there she was, Ella Grace with the Pretty Face dancing around in a video. I sat mesmerized watching this little girl with Down syndrome shaking her booty. I was so encouraged by it that I made my husband watch it too.
After clicking around her blogroll and many others, I came across Jaxson's Fight. When I spotted his hospital picture in the upper left of the blog header, I knew we were not alone with the agony we had faced in those 16 weeks of hospitalization.
Then I found Little Miss E and saw the Traveling Afghan project get off the ground. I realized that together we can turn this online community into a family of sorts where we can share goodies, information, or even vacation visits.
And so, Down Syndrome New Mama has to have a blogroll... right? Of course it does! I could go out and scoop you guys up, and list you willy-nilly but I thought it would be nicer to categorize the blogs. That way, newcomers can find blogs where they share similar experiences, and blogs where they don't.
Here are the categories. (If your blog fits into more than one category, pick your preference.)
The Designer Genes Club
If your blog doesn't fit in any of the following categories, or if it does but you never post about anything related to it, please choose this blogroll.
Double Trouble and Twice the Blessing
If you have more than one child with Down syndrome please pick this blogroll.
It's a Small World After All
This category is for families with ethnically diverse backgrounds and those raising children with Down syndrome across the globe.
Sweethearts & Fighters
If your child has gone through (or is facing) heart surgery or any other major surgery, please pick this blogroll. This list is also for those out there who are fighting various medical issues on an ongoing basis.
The Chosen Ones
If you adopted or are in the process of adopting a child with Down syndrome, please pick this blogroll.
The Future Is Now
If you are an adult or a teen blogger with Down syndrome, please choose this category. Also pick this blogroll if you are a parent or sibling who blogs on behalf of a teenager or an adult with Ds.
Projects & Resources
Blogs that are dedicated to projects, like the Traveling Afghan project, or are a Down syndrome resource blog, like Down Syndrome New Mama, should choose this blogroll.
How You Get Listed
You can either put your blog address and selected category in a comment on this post, or email it to me. My email address is available in my profile. If your blog or your baby is a newborn (or newly adopted), please let me know so that I can highlight you with a "birth" announcement.
Ok guys, bring 'em on!

Hi there, its nice to meet you. How old is your daughter? Yeah Jax had a 17 week hospital stay from when he was 4 months to 8 months old. That was our longest stay. Of course we've had many since then and many more to come. Welcome to our community. Are you a new blogger?ReplyDelete
Designer Gene Blog: Please add mine: www.simeonstrail.blogspot.com Btw, I'm loving this blog and will head over to the Ds board on babycenter and share this with them.ReplyDelete
Hmmm we fit into a lot of categories! LOL I'll let you decide. Kennedy is our child with Ds, she has had 18 surgeries. She had Leukemia and Atlanto-axial and Atlanto-occipital Instability among a ton of other stuff (no heart issues though). We are also in the process of adopting a little girl with Ds from Eastern Europe. This will be our first adoption.ReplyDelete

Adoption blog: http://www.aspecialkadoption.blogspot.com
We also have an e-store with Down syndrome awareness products: http://www.cafepress.com/t21club
Mommy to those Special Ks ,ReplyDelete
Thankfully you have a blog for almost each category you fit into! One of these days I am heading back over to the t21club to shop until I drop. I LOVE the clothes with the sayings!
Thank you, and thanks for sharing. The more company we get, the more info we can pass along to each other.
I confess, I've blogged before... even visited you before. I just didn't want to tangle the two blogs since the other one isn't really about ds or my daughter, although she makes an appearance on occasion.
This is such a great blog! We fit into the sweethearts club....baby girl born 7/01/08 with OHS for TOF on 10/23/08...doing great so far!!ReplyDelete
This blog is such a great idea! Where was all this stuff when Morgan was born 6 years ago? I just had to read the one book that was available to me over and over again all about the possible health problems she could have. :)ReplyDelete
I guess we best fit in the sweethearts club. She had OHS for AV canal when she was 4 months old in 2003. It seems like that was so long ago and not anything we think about anymore but she will be happy to be part of that club or any club on here! :) www.sealbark.blogspot.com
Could you put my blog under Designer Genes please? http://finniansjourney.blogspot.comReplyDelete
Sweethearts and Fighters: http://thephamilyblog.blogspot.com
I guess I would fit into the Designer Genes and the Sweethearts and Fighters- our son is due in just under 3 weeks!ReplyDelete
Please file us under The Designer Genes Club. Thanks!ReplyDelete
If you'd consider adding a category that touches on diversity/being a minority, I think that would be great too. I've receieved some wonderful feedback from people who previously had been unable to find a family online that looked like theirs.
Thanks for including my blog in the Designer Genes Club. I was going to leave a comment to ask you to add me but I see you already have. I have some posts planned for the future that would mention resources for parents too, but I think the Designer Genes Club suits me just fine. Just being in your blog is awesome! Thanks again!ReplyDelete
I saw your comment on another post with your blog name at the bottom and I guess I just got ahead of myself. I'll be looking out for those resource posts... gotta love resources!
What a great idea. I expanded the description of It's a Small World After All and I'll move your blog there. But let me know if you are not ok with the move and I will put it back. Thanks.
Howdy! I guess we fit best under Designer Genes, although Kira did have heart surgery to repair her PDA. Kira is 2 (and almost 2 1/2!) and amazes me hourly.ReplyDelete
Designer Gene Blog:ReplyDelete
I would love to be added to the designer genes category. http://outnumberedbykids.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete
I have 2 blogs. Our family blog highlights our TWO boys with Ds, so that'd put us in the "Double Trouble" catagory:ReplyDelete
Both of my boys were adopted and we're in the process of adopting a 3rd little boy with Ds. Our adoption blog is:
Shelly... Vote in the poll. We need to get those adoptions counted, lol. What you guys are doing is awesome.ReplyDelete
Hi there!ReplyDelete
We're in the "Designer Gene Club"
Mom to Audrey and Stella
Designer genes for us please : ) I'm so glad you found our blog, it makes me so happy to hear when new mom's see my Ella and are encouraged by her. She is so much more than I could have ever imagined. When she was born and the told me she had Ds I was devistated, we've come a long way and I honestly would not change a single thing about her, she is a daily inspiration to me and pretty much all that meet her, and yet she is SUCH a 2 year old, and all the lovely-ness that comes with it : ) I will definetly be checking in here often, please please post more pics!!ReplyDelete
Designer Genes here as well, directed here by Chrystal!ReplyDelete
What a great blog! Please add our blog to Designer Gene's, although Georgia had heart surgery as well!ReplyDelete
I wish this existed when I first had our sweetie!
Hi there! Im looking forward to following this blog : ) My name is Laurie and I have 2 young kiddos - Cassidy is 2.5 and Dylan, my little guy with Ds, is 10 months old. He also has had heart surgery to repair an AV canal defect as well as a surprise defect (which was discovered once his surgery began) called an AP Window. Looking forward to connecing with everyone : )ReplyDelete
Add us to the Designer Genes blogroll. Liam is 2 and has DS. I blog about him, his little sister, life in our house, and my knitting.ReplyDelete
We would love to join the Designer Genes Club!!! www.trisacharm.blogspot.com :)!!ReplyDelete
Great idea! I fit in the Designer Genes Club category :)ReplyDelete
We fit into the Sweethearts and Fighters (repaired AV canal and PDA, coarctation and residual septal defects waiting to be repaired) and we also fit into The Chosen Ones category, so I'll let you choose!ReplyDelete
Ours was a domestic adoption, rather than international, if that helps.
My little Lily is a sweetheart and a fighter. I would love to be on your blogroll.ReplyDelete
you can add our fighting sweetheart too. http://puritanwife.blogspot.comReplyDelete
This is a great blog idea! Braska would fit in either the Designer Genes or Sweethearts... thanks for doing this!ReplyDelete
Our blog, Mutterings & Musings, would fit best in the Sweethearts blogroll. Lucy had an complete AV canal repaired in Jan. 08. The address is www.cremcd.blogspot.com.ReplyDelete
I love this blog! Wonderful job!!!
We're definitely Designer Genes :-) You have a great new blog! We're at www.monicacrumley.blogspot.com "Monkey Musings"ReplyDelete

Great blog!!ReplyDelete
Please add us to the "Sweethearts and Fighters" category. My Benjamin (4/24/08) had OHS to repair an ASD and a VSD on Oct 3, 2008. He also had intestinal surgery to repair a duodenal webbing (obstruction) on Jan 13, 2009.
My blog is www.theamicks-angela.blogspot.com
Thanks so much for adding my blog here under the Twice the Blessings" heading. I have certainly been doubly blessed with my 4-year-old identical twin boys who were, themselves, blessed with an extra 21st chromosome. I LOVE this blog. Can't believe I've never happened upon it before though... as you said... there's not always a lot of time (x2). I'm a loyal fan as of today. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I'm not sure where I'd fit - and I blog about more than Ds. My sweetheart Eliana has Ds. She had open-heart surgery at 4 months. She is doing great now though!ReplyDelete
My blog is about our family and whatever is going on at the time. I started my blog to focus on Eliana and the first year or so was mostly about her. As life became a little less chaotic, we've added back other activities that just weren't possibly when she wasn't strong and healthy.
Looking forward to reading more of your blog!

Hi again! Could you add us to your Designer Genes Club? Of course we could fit into the Sweethearts and Fighters Club too. You can decide if you wish.ReplyDelete
Carly has Ds, she has had 2 heart surgeries and will likely be having another. She still has some heart issues going on, but they are just monitoring her for now. She also battled leukemia. She received chemo for 26 long agonizing months. All of this occurred by the time she was 2 1/2 years old. She is now 7. In remission since 2 weeks of diagnosis!!
Okay I could be The Chosen One or The Future is Now. We are also in the business of helping. I've been on the state board of the Utah Down Syndrome Foundation since 2002, the state president for the last 3 years. Adopted Lily at birth - she is my "Pure Joy!" And now we have our brand spanking new website. After blogging for a few years we think we can do more. You have a great site!ReplyDelete

I really love your blog !
We would love to be in the Designer Genes Club
I think we fit into the Designer Genes category. www.DownRightFaith.com/weblog Sydney is 2 years old and was three weeks early with 3 holes in her heart and pulmonary hypertension. We helped to contribute to the scary 50% heart defects category, but were like many who recovered without surgery. This is one of the many reasons that new parents need resources that are not just medically based. I run our Assoc's New Parent Program so may have additional resources for you. I'd be glad to contribute if you want.ReplyDelete
Hi we love this blog we would love to be in the The Designer Genes Club our blog is http://21diamonds.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete

Hi ds.mama!ReplyDelete
We finally got our blog up and sort of running-
Abby is 6 mos old now- probably too old for a birth announcement though :0 I don't know how all these amazing mamas get their blogs up with newborns! The Designer Genes club please-
Nicole & Abigail
I'd love it if you added our blog under The Designer Genes Club.ReplyDelete
My son (aka The Boy) will be 11 months this week, and my sister's daughter (aka Mermaid) will be 2 in December. Another sister of ours had a daughter with T21, too, who passed away 6 years ago. The three of us author the blog together.
Hello! thank you for this opportunity...I have been searching for others with my struggles and to help give me hope...I have just started blogging and would love you to help get it out...I am not sure what it should go under...it is about my personal trials of being a mom of a daughter with Down Syndrome...it is an HONEST look..and not always pretty..so do what you think is best...chromosomallyenhanced21.blogspot.comReplyDelete
Hello, I want to give some hope to you new Mom's. I have a 23 year old daughter that has DS and she has been a real encouragement and joy to my life. She is a self advocate and is on our local board of directors. She has also been in a dance troupe named Company d for 8 years. Company d is an awareness group to change society's perceptions of people with DS. Company d performs locally, regionally and nationally. They were invited and performed in Central Park, New York City. I would encourage you ladies to start projects like this one in your areas. Most of us parents have been together since our kids were born and are still friends. Please take a look at our website www.companyddancers.com or you can see a documentary that is in progress that was shown at the On Location International Film Festival http://www.blip.tv/file/2111134/. As you will see your child can have a full and exciting life. You just have to be committed and keep them involved. I wish you all the best.ReplyDelete

We would fit into sweethearts & fighters (August will have surgery in May) and designer genes club.

Hello Moms! I have a 25 month old sweet baby boy named Evan. Eating is our biggest challenge. Evan still takes a bottle and cries at the site of a sippy cup. Evan also will not eat anything that you hand him or try to feed him. He eats cheerios and crackers and stage 2 baby food. His tongue is still his main source of eating .. he doesnt really chew he pushes around his mouth. I need some advise on the bottle and the eating! I try so hard to get him to try stuff but he turns his head and pushes it away..ReplyDelete

It is our high honor to serve many, many parents of children with DS. Our specialty is offering parents hope and encouragement for this endurance race. And our blog, which may fit well under "Projects & Resources" can be accessed at: http://comfortinthemidstofchaos.blogspot.com/ Blessings!ReplyDelete
Hi there... Great blog! Lots of neat and informative stuff here. Just started my own blog as we had a prenatal diagnosis and are expecting a baby boy with Down syndrome this November. Could you please add me to the Designer Genes Club?ReplyDelete
Our 9th baby was diagnosed at birth with Ds in April of 2013. We have been blessed by him and Ds since the first. I couldn't imagine life without Addison. How I wish I had your blog back in those first days. Addison "Henry" will be 1 in April and we have learned so much but when we first navigated the internet it was not our friend. There was so much information... lots of good, lots of bad. I am still learning and researching. As a matter of fact I ended up here researching TNI.ReplyDelete
You could add our blog ArtsChiliPepper.blogspot.com to your designer gene blogroll.
Please share your experience and opinions, or ask a question. I won't even mind if you correct me on something.
ds.mama will delete any comments that are simply product advertising.

We Buy Houses Birmingham Michigan
(313) 246-4551
Any House. Any Condition. Any Price.
Sell Your Birmingham Michigan House Fast!
Need to sell your house fast in Birmingham Michigan and surrounding areas… we'd like to make you a fair all-cash offer. And we'll even GUARANTEE that offer, and you can have a check in your hand in as little as 5 days. Just give us a call at (313) 246-4551 to get a quick offer today… or fill out the simple form on this site. At We Buy Houses Birmingham Michigan we're experts on the process.
We buy houses in any condition… as-is… let us take over the burden of that unwanted property.
There are lots of situations where we can help, including… avoiding foreclosure, divorce, relocating, inherited an unwanted property, own a vacant house, upside down in your mortgage, behind on payments, owe liens, downsized and can't sell your house, needs repairs you can't pay for, fire damaged, bad rental tenants, and more.
Basically, if you have a property and need to sell it… we'd like to make you a fair cash offer and close on it when you're ready.
Do You Need To Sell Your House in Birmingham Michigan?
You've tried to sell your house but are running into roadblocks. You probably even tried calling a real estate agent. Sometimes selling a house the traditional way with a real estate agent is simply not the best for everyone. As you know, there can be lots of pitfalls when selling a house the agent route, including: having to clean up and repair the property so it shows well, finding an agent who you trust and who can deliver on their promise (selling your house quickly), signing a contract that binds you to an agent for a certain term, the piles of paperwork you have to sign, shuffling paperwork back and forth from buyer –> to agent –> to you… and back.
The biggest issue with trying to sell with a real estate agent or selling it yourself is often times retail buyers will tie up a home for weeks and pull out on the deal at the last second… or have their bank loan fall through.
It can all add stress, months to the process, and in the end after paying the agent fees, you may or may not be ahead of the game.
We at We Buy Houses Birmingham Michigan work differently. We will provide you a fair all-cash offer on your house within 24 hours of submitting the short property info form below and can close when you want to close.

About Birmingham Michigan
Birmingham is a city in Oakland County of the U.S. state of Michigan and a suburb of Detroit. As of the 2010 census, the population was 20,103. The city's downtown attracts shoppers from throughout the Metro Detroit area.
The area comprising what is now the city of Birmingham was part of land ceded by Native American tribes to the United States government by the 1807 Treaty of Detroit. However, settlement was delayed first by the War of 1812 and subsequently by an unfavorable report by the Surveyor-General of the United States, Edward Tiffin, regarding the placement of Military Bounty Lands for veterans of the War of 1812. Tiffin's report claimed that "There would not be an acre out of a hundred, if there would be one out of a thousand that would, in any case, admit cultivation."
In 1818, Territorial Governor Lewis Cass led a group of men along the Indian Trail. The governor's party discovered that the swamp was not as extensive as Tiffin had supposed. Not long after Cass issued a more encouraging report about the land, interest quickened in its suitability for settlement.
The earliest land entry was made on January 28, 1819, by Colonel Benjamin Kendrick Pierce (brother of future U.S. President Franklin Pierce) for the northwest quarter of section 36. Colonel Pierce visited his land several times, but never settled on it. In March 1818, John W. Hunter and his brother Daniel left Auburn, New York, by sleigh and traveled to Michigan by way of Upper Canada. They waited in Detroit for their father and other family members who arrived by schooner over Lake Erie in July. The family remained in Detroit until spring 1819 when John W. made an entry for the northeast quarter of section 36, now in the southeast section of current-day Birmingham. Lacking a proper land survey, John W. mistakenly built his log house on a tract later purchased by Elijah Willets. That house was later occupied by William Hall, a son-in-law of Elisha Hunter, while John W. Hunter built another log house a short distance to the southeast. On September 25, 1821, Elijah Willets made a land entry for the southwest quarter of section 25. Two days later, Major John Hamilton made an entry for the southeast quarter of section 25. Each of these initial land entries met at what is now the intersection of Maple Road and Pierce Street.
For a time, all three men, John W. Hunter, Major Hamilton, and Elijah Willets, operated hotels and taverns from their houses within a short distance from each other. While Hunter did not continue for very long, Hamilton and Willets continued a rivalry for many years, competing with each other for business from travelers on Woodward Avenue between Detroit and Pontiac. The growing settlement was known variously as "Hamilton's", "Hunter's", or "Willets'"; it was later known as "Piety Hill".
The settlement's original plat was surveyed and recorded on August 25, 1836, in the northwest quarter of section 36 then owned by Rosewell T. Merrill who also ran the town foundry and the thrashing machine factory. Merrill named his plat "Birmingham" after Birmingham, England, in the hope that the new settlement would similarly become a great industrial center. Elijah Willets recorded a plat on his property on December 20, 1837. John W. Hunter followed suit with two plats on his property on January 31, 1840, and June 21, 1842, while Major Hamilton laid out a plat on October 7, 1846. Several other properties were subsequently platted as additions. The plats made in 1836 and 1837 were in anticipation of completion of the Detroit and Pontiac Railroad.
Now known as "Birmingham", the village first received mail through the "Bloomfield" post office. Birmingham established its own post office on April 5, 1838. The settlement incorporated as a village in 1864, comprising the northern half of section 36 and the southern half of section 25 with a total land area of one square mile. The first village elections were held March 1, 1864, and it was soon governed by a seven-man board of trustees who appointed a marshal and a treasurer. Birmingham re-incorporated as a city in 1933. Prior to this the area just north of 14 Mile along Woodward was known as 'Eco City.
The names of the city's founders are seen throughout Birmingham in places such as Pierce Elementary School, Hunter House Hamburgers (which was located on the road formerly known as Hunter Boulevard, which bypassed downtown to the east and was renamed Woodward, with the original Woodward Avenue section renamed Old Woodward), the Hamilton Hotel, the Willets Building and Merrill Street. Hall & Hunter Realtors named themselves in tribute to the builder and occupier of Birmingham's first home.

New Product Release – ABB Advac Actuator
Many of you know that inoLECT manufactures a universal, technologically-advanced Remote Circuit Breaker Racking Device, the inoRAC2, which eliminates the risk of Arc Flash to personnel. The newest addition to the inoRAC Product Line is the ABB Advac Actuator, which allows compatibility with Advac circuit breakers.
The custom-designed tool is a lightweight, aluminum housing, surrounding a linear actuator equipped with a roller. It easily attaches to switchgear doors with industrial-strength magnets and requires no modifications. When operating, the actuator/roller engages the breaker's interlock lever, allowing it to perform disengage/engage functions. The tool is installed quickly, very user-friendly and requires one connection cable.
This is only one of the many solutions that make the inoRAC2 the most universal remote racking product on the market. Unlike competitors, the inoRAC2 provides optimal breaker protection by monitoring torque and breaker position, and applying torque only when needed. It is also the only device available that stores breaker profiles for easy access next time it it needed.
Schedule a free demo by calling 1-844-inoLECT or watch the ADVAC video online here.
As you probably know, the OSHA Revised §1910.269 and Subpart V compliance deadline for provisions on fall protection, minimum approach distances, and arc-flash protection is April 1, 2015. The employer must determine the maximum anticipated per-unit transient overvoltage, phase-to-ground, through an engineering analysis no later than this date, for voltages over 72.5 kilovolts. For more information about why OSHA revised its ruling and how you can prepare, visit this helpful list of FAQ. You can find a copy of the rule by clicking here.
Maintenance is Key in Arc Flash Prevention
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)'s White paper on Protective Devices and Maintenance states that "Industry Standards for an manufacturer's of LV power circuit breakers recommend a general inspection and lubrication after a specified number of operations or a least once per year" and "most requirements for LV circuit breaks apply to MV breakers as well. Manufacturers recommend that these breakers be removed from service and inspected at least once per year". Similar to other aging infrastructure systems in the US, very little maintenance and testing is done to electrical systems, with many LV systems never seeing period maintenance at all. This is very alarming when you consider that electrical personnel have been injured by arc flash incidents where arc flash prediction was Category 0 because upstream breakers failed to trip. A poorly maintained electrical system is a serious hazard present to all who work on or around it, and should not be neglected. "Several studies have shown that LV power circuit breakers which are NOT maintained within a 5 year period, have an average of 50% failure rate", also stated by IEEE.
Need some help backing up your concerns to decision makers within your facility? Consider the following:
• The 2012 edition of NFPA 70E states "The arc flash hazard analysis shall take into consideration the design of the overcurrent protective device, including its condition of maintenance". Refers to Section 21.10 of NFPA 70B-2006 for maintenance of protective devices; this section specifies overcurrent time-current testing of the protective devices.
• NFPA 70E Article 205.3, General Maintenance Requirements, states, "Electrical equipment shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions or industry consensus standards to reduce the risk of failure and the subsequent exposure of employees to electrical hazards."
Several recent studies have determined that failure rates of LV circuit breakers are increasing, after only a few years of use. One recent survey states that 23% of circuit breakers tested had an issue affecting the protective device operations and over 10% did not function at all. We should assume that all older gear that have not been maintained in accordance with NETA MTS or NFPA 70B, will trip per their overcurrent time-current curves. Such a critical assumption would likely not be included as a description on the equipment arc flash warning label. An arc flash calculation based on actuation of a protective device that has never been maintained will not present accurate and correct data in the models or on the labels. The calculated incident energy depends on how long it takes an upstream protective device to sense, respond to, and eventually clear the arcing fault. If the breaker hasn't been maintained and tested as required, there is no assurance that it will respond in accordance with its published time-current curve.
Before beginning an Arc Flash Study for your facility, determine whether or not your equipment maintenance has been performed at the acceptable level. If not, there is no promise that the circuit breakers will actually respond to their time-current curves or if they are capable of opening properly at all. It's important to confirm that Arc Flash calculations are performed using correct data, on properly maintained equipment, so that the arc flash ratings are correct. The safety of personnel depends on it.

Well, he does have a lot to do, but I think it's important to remember that we didn't solve a lot of problems in 2000's that we should have solved. Here is an article by David Frum, a conservative writer, that simply states we have a lot of unpaid bills from the 2000's. Essentially, we ignored terrorism, health care, and immigration. Now, we are paying the price for not dealing with them.

As I mentioned last time, our boy Ted the Cat has become quite the wandering feline these past several months. You never know where he'll show up. Not that our house is so big to begin with, but Ted's amazing us with his ability, in his–ahem!–mature years to find new things to get into, new mischief to make, and new ways to suddenly get underfoot–preferably when the lights are out and the danger of breaking your neck is highest. "Teddy Bear, you're an intrepid feline," I told him the other day, when I happened upon him nosing around the paper shredder. "Intrepid is generally a good thing. But perhaps it would be nice if you just hung out on the couch like you used to, you know?" Later on, I found the following on the monitor upstairs.
aw c'mon mr big try living your frickin' life
instead of worrying all the time about the risks
climb up on the stove and tempt fate
go into the crawlspace and confront a cricket
wait on the stairs in the dark and see if someone
doesn't trip over you and break both your necks
a little danger would do you good
i see things from four inches off the floor
a perspective from which the world's possibilities open up
in ways undreamt of by you safety-seekers whose only thought
is of keeping the magnificent perilous voyage of life
with all its wondrous possibilities and dangers
i say to hell with placid
mine is the way of the old explorers
who thought they might sail off the edge of the world
and said so what?
consider the paper shredder
it is the very embodiment of things i am wired to fear
every instinct i have says flee
those whirring blades that grinding screech
every cell says flee
and that is why i don't
let me savor experience bigster
(better to fall into a paper shredder than to die bored)
otherwise i might as well
go back to the couch
just like you say
and sleep

Taking a trip to Cleveland just became even easier and more affordable. With the advent of the Cleveland Plus Pass, visitors can buy one ticket that gives them access to ten (10) major attractions at a savings of at least 30%, often even more.
Now visitors can purchase a pass good for two (2), three (3) or five (5) days. The "time" on the card begins when the Cleveland Plus Pass' barcode is scanned at any participating location. Once the pass is activated, cardholders are able to experience as many of the featured gardens, museums, zoos and other destinations as their time and personal interests allow. "It's definitely a deal," says Emilie Poua, Director of Arts & Cultural Tourism for Positively Cleveland. "The cost for a single adult to visit all ten attractions at full price would be $64 … with a Pass it's anywhere from $24.95 for the two-day option to $49.95 for the five-day ticket."
The Cleveland Plus Pass is good for general admission to the Children's Museum of Cleveland, Cleveland Botanical Garden, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, The Holden Arboretum, Lake Metroparks Farmpark, Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland and Western Reserve Historical Society. The multi-attraction discount will offer sightseers even more value with additional special savings on merchandise, meals and more. For example, from October 19, 2008 - January 18, 2009, Cleveland Plus Passholders will receive $4 off admission to the blockbuster exhibit Artistic Luxury: Faberge Tiffany Lalique.
The Cleveland Plus Pass can be purchased at Positively Cleveland's Visitors Center downtown Cleveland (The Higbee Building, 100 Public Square, Suite 100, Cleveland, OH) or online at http://www.positivelycleveland.com/pluspass. "We're excited about the possibilities of this program and hope in the future to have the pass available for sale in other locations and as a part of hotel packages," says Tamera Lash Brown, Positively Cleveland's VP of Marketing.
The Cleveland Plus Pass was created with OmniTicket Network, whose list of clients includes convention and visitors bureaus and major theme parks. The program is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture (CAC).

Young "Touch" star David Mazouz has scored the role of a pre-teen Bruce Wayne in Fox's upcoming Batman-prequel series "Gotham".
Mazouz will play the 13-year-old Bruce who leans on his butler Alfred (Sean Pertwee) and Commissioner James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) for guidance after his wealthy parents are murdered.
Warner Bros. TV, which is producing the series, carefully points out that Mazouz will not, at any point in the series, become Batman.
Another casting choice announced today is newcomer Camren Bicondova ("Battlefield America") in the role of a young Selena Kyle, an orphan street thief and pickpocket who will eventually become Catwoman.
Bicondova is part of the Hawaiian all-female dance crew 8 Flavahz so her physical dexterity will likely come into play in the role.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 28 — Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, unveiled here on Sunday a commemorative stamp sheet dedicated to the handicapped population in China.
The set of stamps was jointly issued by China and the United Nations (UN). Peng was joined by Yoo Soon-taek, wife of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, at the unveiling ceremony.
It is of great significance that China and the UN jointly issue this stamp sheet on the occasion of the 70th founding anniversary of the UN, which showcases the great emphasis both sides have placed on the welfare of the disabled people, Peng said in an address during the ceremony.
She noted that both the Chinese government and the society care a lot about the disabled people, and have achieved remarkable success in promoting their welfare.
"It is a responsibility of the entire society to guarantee equality, respect and care for every handicapped person, and we need to work together to help them realize their dreams and lead a decent, colorful and successful life," she added.
Official statistics show that there are over 85 million people in China with various disabilities.
Peng is in town accompanying her husband who has come to attend a series of activities at the UN headquarters in New York after concluding his first state visit to the United States. (PNA/Xinhua)

Please click on the pictures to listen to the Qasidas
THE MONTH OF RAJAB AND SHAABAAN COMES AS A TIME OF FESTIVITIES FOR ALL OF US IN SHARJAH AND I AM SURE EVERYWHERE ELSE .Momineen are busy attending "kunde" ,"niyaaz" and jashan throughout .After the majlis of Safar-E-imam Husain ..we celebrated the Jashan -E- maasoomeen on a grand scale. It was held as always at Barghah-E-Ali Raza (AS), Sharjah UAE on 8th Shabaan, 25th October 2001 and as always, Maashaalah- it was a great success. Last year we heard the wonderful kalaam of Sibt-E-Jaafar and Rehan Aazmi and this year we welcomed Mohd Ali Wafa from Hyderabad. Needless to say that our Imambargah was packed till there was no place to move, even among the ladies. Quite a few of them had to leave because of the lack of place !!
The jashan was inaugrated with Hadees-E-Kisa read by Mohd Jagani and Dua-E-Kumail recited by Master Raza. Arsalaan (son of Shakir bhai) enlightened us with a short incidents on the life of Imam Hussain, a Qaseeda read by Daddy, followed by a qaseeda read by Fayyaz bhai and Hyder bhai .Then Mohd Ali bhai read his kalaam .He started with a few new ones (you can hear them in the audio) and then he had to read a few favorites- including his geet "Mawla Ali Ali " and " Aaga-ye Mawla "-due to the insistence of the audience . It is obvious that everyone's request could not be fulfilled and the public didn't want him to stop. The audience which was swaying in the praise of Mawla Ali suddenly started weeping on hearing the tragic verse (on Hazrat Ali Akbar(AS) ) which concluded the kalaam of Mohd bhai. Abid Bilgrami sahab (from Kuwait ) gave us a short lecture and dua ..The jashan finally got over a little after midnight .It was followed by niyaaz which we all enjoyed .We are very grateful to the volunteers and intezamiya of the Imambargah for making the jashan a success. I'm sure it was a memorable occasion for those who attended and for those who did not ...next time inshallah.
Above are some pictures of the jashan. First Qasida by Dr.Ehsan,another by Fayaz bhai followed by Hyder Bhai . Than a few nar-e-Hydaris by Bhutt Sahib and then the great shayer Mohd Ali Wafa.
