It's Day One! *tries not to hyperventilate from fear and excitement*
First thing I did after I got to work, turned everything on, checked for messages, and decided nothing was pressing… was log in to the NaNo regional chat forum. No one was there but Timmy, our special little bot, and can you believe it, but he greeted me in Korean! "Annyong Haseyo" back at you, Timmy! How on earth did he know? Sometimes I don't think he's a bot at all. He's really a psychic stalker to all of us. Don't believe me? Follow Timmy in your own forum and find out…
I stayed up until midnight (despite better judgement) just to kickoff. I stayed off the chats because those people would have kept me up and I needed sleep to work 9 hours today. I did, however, complete my first 105 words just after midnight, so once at work I dove back in. But boy I can already tell my inner editor is fighting me again… I'll have to get Miasma to shush.
I'm going to try to keep with the same format for my daily posts this month. A brief blurb about the day at the top. Then, instead of trying to choose an excerpt each day, I will give you the first and last lines I wrote, no matter how awful they may end up being.
As an added challenge I will be trying to use the Oxford English Dictionary's word of the day in my writing as well. I'll post the sentence that word shows up in too, with the word of the day in bold.
And, as always, the counts. The daily count and the running total. NaNoWriMo is all about the counts. (Well, at least on the surface.) Next stop… 50,000!
First Line of the Day:
Kael surveyed the scene: blood was painted everywhere, on their bodies, the floor, and the walls.
Last Line of the Day:
In the chaos he had completely forgotten to check for it.
Sentence with Word of the Day:
"You know," Kael sighed, "you have all this great panache and nothing to show for it."

Becoming a Member
The Zurich Comedy Club is a great
place to
have fun, meet people and at the same time help put on a play at least twice a year
...plus you could help some worthwhile charities in the process.
The first step to membership is to come along and meet us on a Monday evening.
Anyone who understands English and wants to get enthusiastically involved in the theatre is welcome to join us at our regular Monday night meetings (see 'Monday Evenings' for details of current events). We meet at St Andrew's Church Community Hall (see the map below for details) every Monday evening - see home page for current details.
We are an English-speaking Club with a membership from a number of nationalities (British, Americans, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, German, Dutch etc. not forgetting Swiss of course) and all walks of life, jobs, professions and all ages - from late teenage to late retirement. We are always pleased to welcome new faces who would like help with the many jobs that are involved in staging plays and running a club like the ZCC.
The only pre-requisites for membership are that you must speak and understand English and, for speaking parts in readings and on stage, you should have clear English diction without a strong accent, so your voice is easily understood.
Why not come and meet us? We'd like to meet you! Just check that we are meeting next Monday first.
We do it because
it's FUN!
The Zurich Comedy Club is run by members for members. It is up to us what productions we stage and up to us what degree we get involved in productions. Since the production of a play requires considerable commitment especially from the Director and cast members, fun is a pre-requisite throughout the rehearsals and the production itself. That said, we have been able to maintain high standards that can only come through hard work and dedication.
Theatre with no "stars"
What our audiences see on stage is the tip of the iceberg. There are many essential jobs back stage: lights, sound, makeup, costumes, props, stage management, set design and building, prompting, front of house and box office.
We work together as a team without stars. One play's leading actor may be the next play's prompter or make-up artist.
Packing them in since 1954
The Zurich Comedy Club has a long and excellent reputation on the Swiss Theatre scene and a faithful audience that packs our 380-seat Seefeld theatre for many performances.
Workshops and Summer Schools
From time to time we organise acting and technical workshops - led either by our own members or by experts in their fields flown in from abroad.
The ZCC has had a strong presence at the NODA Summer School held in the UK each summer, where there are courses on both acting and technical subject like lighting and set design.
Not in it for the money
We cannot promise fortune. In fact, being an amateur club you won't receive any money for the labours you put into the Club. But think of it as an investment in your future.
Being successful in the Theatre requires a number of different skills which can be surprisingly useful in other walks of life:
Presentational Skills
Standing in front of 380 people (the size of audience we often have) and presenting your character on stage can prepare you for such things as giving Corporate presentations.
Managerial Skills
Directing or Producing performances involves a variety of managerial skills, the management of people, co-ordination of a variety of diverse elements, budget management and so forth - just the sort of things you'll need to get to grips with in business.
Anything and everything that a production requires depends upon teamwork...acheiving success in any walk of life is rarely done alone.
The first step is to check the 'Monday Evenings' events on the main menu to see we are doing next and come along!
Where to find us: see map.

NASCAR has a new star in Trevor Bayne
No one will ever confuse me with an auto racing fan. When I was in the Army at Fort Benjamin Harrison in suburban Indianapolis, everyone in our company had free tickets to the Indy 500. All we had to do was wear our uniforms.
Football fans will remember coldest games
HOW cold was it?

The Ducks confirmed Friday that chief executive Michael Schulman has filed the necessary paperwork notifying NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman that other teams have permission to talk to Burke, who stepped down as Ducks general manager Wednesday but is still under contract to the team as a "senior consultant" to Schulman.
"I am searching for my next opportunity," Burke said.
Burke is interested in pursuing employment in the East primarily because of what he has cited as family reasons.

Have you stopped making payments on your loan? Have you received a final demand letter from the bank demanding full payment of the outstanding balance of your loan? Have you been served with foreclosure papers?
Foreclosure is the process whereby the mortgage holder (i.e. the bank) sues the borrower (i.e. homeowner) to secure title to the property in partial or full satisfaction of the outstanding balance of the mortgage holder's note when the borrower has violated and failed to cure the material term(s) of the note, mortgage and loan agreement. The most common uncured, mortgage violation default is the non-payment of the outstanding loan debt.

Bankruptcy filings in the United States can fall under one of several chapters of the Bankruptcy Code, such as Chapter 7 (which involves liquidation of assets), Chapter 11 (company or individual "reorganizations") and Chapter 13 (debt repayment with lowered debt covenants or payment plans).
Our attorneys are specialized in handling even the most complex of bankruptcies including Chapter 12 and more.
Chapter 11
The difference between state and federal courts can be daunting to a person who doesn't work in the court system or isn't familiar with federal civil and criminal proceedings. The U.S. Constitution being the supreme law of the land in the United States has created a federal system of government in which power is shared between the federal government and the state governments. Due to federalism, both the federal government and each of the state governments have their own court systems and although there are similarities, the federal system operates under a different set of statutes, rules and procedures than does the state court.
Federal Criminal Offenses
At NeJame Law we handle all varieties of federal crimes and cases. We are based in Orlando, which is based in the Middle District of Florida and encompasses a 400-square mile area, which includes Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Ocala and Fort Meyers. However, our federal attorneys handle cases not only in the Middle District, but also in the Southern and Northern Districts of Florida as well. We additionally travel the United States and have handled federal cases in more than a dozen other states throughout the country. Unlike state laws, which differ from state to state, federal laws are the same in each of the federal districts throughout the United States, allowing an Orlando federal attorney to practice utilizing the same set of laws in any federal court in the country. Procedures exist permitting an attorney to practice in different jurisdictions so long as certain requirements are met. An experienced and accomplished federal lawyer from our Orlando Law Firm is able to handle your federal case anywhere in the United States.
A federal crime is any offense that violates the laws contained in the United States Criminal Code. The offenses can be white collar crimes in Orlando, dealing with areas such as; mail fraud, mortgage fraud, wire fraud, Racketeering Influence and Corruption Act (RICO), bank fraud, money laundering, health care fraud, tax evasion or tax violations, investment fraud, telemarketing fraud, loan fraud, crimes against government agencies, etc. In Orlando, federal attorneys mostly work in the Middle District of Florida. There are more than 100 categories of offenses that are considered to be federal crimes and even though some offenses may also be covered under the Florida criminal code, the methods by which federal crimes are handled are unique.
• Accounting Fraud• Antitrust• Bank Fraud• Bankruptcy Fraud• Child Pornography• Computer Crimes• Computer Hacking• Controlled Substance Violations• Conspiracy• Corporate Crimes• Counterfeiting• Customs Violations• Drug Manufacturing• Drug Possession/Sales• Drug Trafficking• Espionage• Export/Import Crimes• Gun Law Violations• Health Care Fraud• Immigration Law Violations• Internet Fraud• Kidnapping• Mail Fraud• Money Laundering• Multi-Level Marketing• RICO Crimes• Securities Fraud• Social Security Fraud• Tax Crimes• Terrorism• Weapons Charges• Wire fraudSome examples of federal crimes are;Visit the Cornell University Law School website for a detailed version of the U.S. criminal code.
Federal Civil Cases
The District Courts are the trial courts in the United States federal court system. Each federal judicial circuit has at least one courthouse and many districts have more than one. There are a total of 89 districts in the 50 states, with a total of 94 districts, including territories.
The power and authority of a federal court to hear cases and controversies is strictly limited. Not every case can be brought in federal court. In order for a civil case to be brought in federal court there must be certain requirements and prerequisites met. There must, most importantly, be subject matter jurisdiction over the dispute or controversy in question. Federal District Courts have authority and jurisdiction to handle only certain types of cases and trials. These cases are limited to (1) claims arising from the U.S. Constitution or federal statutes (federal question jurisdiction), (2) claims brought by or against the federal government, and (3) claims in which all opposing parties live in different states and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000 (diversity jurisdiction). A federal court only obtains subject matter jurisdiction over a case if the case meets one or more of these three requirements.
There are other types of controversies and cases that can also be brought in federal court. In most cases, jurisdiction of federal district courts is concurrent with that of state courts. What this means is that a plaintiff has the choice to bring certain cases in either federal court or state court. A federal attorney at our law firm, can assist you in recommending, strategizing and directing you as to whether your case should be filed in federal court and whether your case is even one that is permitted to be filed in federal court.
There is also a procedure whereby a party to a civil lawsuit or action can "remove" a case from state court to federal court, so long as the federal court has original jurisdiction over the matter in controversy. This is usually done by a defendant. If such a situation exists and a party has been sued in state court, there are strategic and important decisions which need to be considered by a party as to what is the best course of action when involved in a lawsuit. A federal civil attorney from our Orlando based Firm can assist you in evaluating and deciding these type of options.
Federal cases can be challenging and complex. It is important to select an experienced and knowledgeable federal criminal or civil attorney who knows and understands the federal system and its unique set of challenges. An experienced and knowledgeable Orlando federal attorney from our law firm will assist, counsel and represent you as you tackle the challenges posed in any federal dispute. Please contact us today by email, fill out our online form or call our offices 7 days a week at (407) 245-1232.

Officials are spelling out more details of how security will tighten at this weekend's Country Music Marathon.
Metro, state and federal officials say they've been reviewing safety plans with race organizers in the week since the Boston bombing.
They reiterate that there are no known threats against the Nashville race, but say security will be more visible than usual, with hundreds of personnel on site and some measures that go beyond what race veterans may be accustomed to seeing:
• Much like at an airport, everyone will be expected to keep belongings close at hand at all times
• While runners can still check their supplies, they'll be issued clear bags for their belongings
• There will be bomb-sniffing dogs on site
• Highway Patrol officers will augment the Metro Police force
• A hotline has been set up to report suspicious behavior at the race: (615)880-1515
Metro Police Chief Steve Anderson summed up the difference for attendees in a slogan: "See Something, Say Something," while District Attorney Torry Johnson emphasized that any hoaxes or threats will be prosecuted, no matter where they're expressed. "Whether it's on social media or out there on the scene, it's not going to be ignored."
Tuesday's announcement follows a press release last week, saying 150 private security guards have been hired for the event; everyone at the race will be subject to random bag checks; and certain areas will only be accessed with photo ID and an inspection of any bags, containers or equipment.
More than 35,000 runners are expected to compete on Saturday. The race organizer, Competitor Group, runs events like this all over the nation, but Nashville's race will be their first since the Boston Marathon bombing.

Nosimo Balindlela
Nosimo Zisiwe Beauty Balindlela (born 28 November 1949) was the Premier of the Eastern Cape in South Africa from 26 April 2004 until 1 August 2008. In July 2008, Balindlela resigned from her position as premier after pressure from the National Executive Committee of the African National Congress, of which she was a member.

Both her "sacking" and that of the neighboring Western Cape's ANC premier Ebrahim Rasool were announced on the same day. Her successor, Mbulelo Sogoni, was sworn in on 1 August 2008. She resigned from the ANC on November 4 of that year to join the Congress of the People.  ( Wikipedia article )

Are you busy? Maybe a better question would be "why are you busy"?
I believe in our modern day, being "busy" has become a badge of honor. A badge that many are more than happy to wear because it allows them to say "no" to entering into a deeper relationship with God or others.
An example might be a conversation that goes this way:
-How are you?
-Everything okay?
-Just too much to do.
-How are you?
-Everything okay?
-Just too much to do.
At this point the inquirer feels that they too are taking time from the other person and the desire to continue in the conversation quickly dissolves.
Yes, in modern society we have a lot of things that pull us in different directions. But, the human in front of us is more important than most of those. We quickly forget that the human in front of us is how we encounter God in daily life:
"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matt 25:40)
Really though, how does this work in our daily lives? It is the same way it has been done since the beginning of time - prioritize God and others in our lives.
When we start to say we are too busy for others, it hurts us even more than the other person. We need the "other" in our lives in order to have our lives rightly ordered. Even more so, we need God.
Most reading this are students and I have to say that life doesn't slow down after school. Most of you will be married and
says this about marriage. St. Paul
"I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife" (1 Cor. 7:32-33)
Once you are married and have children, it becomes even more difficult to manage time and be present to God and others.
Bearing all of this in mind, let us remember that:
Bearing all of this in mind, let us remember that:
- -Work can't be first (no, I am not saying to quit)
- -School can't be first (no, I am not saying to skip class or not to study hard)
- -Family and boyfriend/girlfriend can't be first (no, I am not saying to end a relationship)
- -EVEN CHURCH can't be first. (no, I am definitely not saying to skip Mass)
- -God must be first
Once He is, we are able to see the vast dignity and importance of the "other" and we time stops when they are in front of us.
In order to properly order our lives and therefore make God and the "other" a priority, we must each ask these questions:
- What do I need to do in order to have a better relationship with God?
- What time do I need to devote to God?
- What are some concrete ways I can prioritize God and others.
- How can I not be too "busy" for the most important things in life?
A few suggestions:
- *Schedule prayer if necessary.
- *Be prudent in how you spend your time.
- *Make relationships a priority.
- *But, at the same time, don't neglect your obligations, esp. the Sacraments, prayer, and family.
Pray for me and I will pray for you that we can all find God and others today as we use our time wisely.

I have a client that wants to pick up cupcakes on Wednesday afternoon and serve them on Saturday night. She lives an hour away and is also picking up a cake for Thursday. Wouldn't the cupcakes get stale? How can I keep them fresh? She said she doesn't care what flavor so what do you think would stay fresh the longest? I thought maybe red velvet since they are loaded with oil but she wants golf-themed cupcakes and I'm having a hard time visualizing the red with golf.

Putting Women in their Place! (VOF 1)
She is not your typical idea of a feminist, at least she certainly wasn't mine. Quiet and thoughtful, fiery and explosive; a loving mom whose thoughts are always with her kids and a driven woman who was spearheading change in many areas and issues; one of the most prominent negotiators and advocates for women's rights in the country whose other passion is cooking; insightful and incisive in her arguments, yet able to negotiate, to communicate without injury. I was both fascinated and intrigued by Dr. Sepali Kottegoda when I first met her a few months ago. I had long abandoned the term "feminist" as it embodied such negative connotations. But Sepali seemed label-less, with so many facets, at times seemingly contradictory, that there's no one label you can stick on her.
Sepali is one who has always questioned the status quo. From her childhood, she questioned inequality – for example, why did her brother not have to do the household chores as she did? In her research she questioned why women were not included in every sphere of society, why women did not earn as much as men, why they could not be an equal partner in marriage. Twenty Five years ago, Sepali and two friends established the Women and Media Collective (WMC) to work for women's inclusion and wider representation in media, politics and the workplace.
Sri Lanka is often touted as a model in South Asia in women's advancement. Women earned the right to vote along with men in 1931, enjoy very high literacy rates, and are a major part of the workforce. And they are also active and faithful voters, turning out in high numbers for every election. But 61 years after gaining independence, women occupy less than 6% in parliament, the highest elected legislature in the country (the current percentage of 5.7% women is only marginally higher than the 4% women in the first parliament in 1948). Sepali and her colleagues at WMC have been working in many spheres and among diverse groups of politicians and grassroots activities, to raise questions on these dismal numbers and to encourage more women entering politics.
Among their strategies to increase women's representation in legislature, they have joined other women's groups in advocating a quota for women at all levels of government, advocating for greater inclusion of women among the mainstream political parties, and encouraging individual women and women's groups who are interested in entering politics. They have also focussed on strengthening women's capacity in local government by familiarising them with the local government legislation, rights, duties and responsibilities.
Sri Lanka elected the first woman Prime Minister in the world when Sirimavo Bandaranaike was elected in 1960. Her daughter, Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunge, was elected as President in 1994 and for a second term in 1999. There have been other women from prominent political families who have engaged in politics, but often as a result of being propelled into the political limelight due to the death of their husband, father or brother.
"The whole of South Asia has this problem," says Sepali. "I think on a positive note, we've had intelligent women in positions of power. But the negative factor is that the system shuts out women who can't claim these kinds of credentials, and I think that is the more significant thing. In the long run, we have to break out of that mentality of kinship power and look at women at their own merit."
Politics in Sri Lanka is rife with violence, corruption and a deeply ingrained patriarchal structure within political parties. These factors, combined with extreme sexist attitudes of many current politicians and political leaders, have deterred many women from even considering entry into politics. Some women who do step up and challenge this status quo, do so at a heavy price. A group of women candidates who contested in the North Western Provincial Council election in 1999 faced acts of extreme violence – at a time when a woman was head of state! The women candidates, as well as women who supported them, were violently assaulted, hit with iron bars, had acid thrown on them, were stripped of their clothes in public and even threatened with rape.
Sepali believes that for women to gain prominence as a political candidate, she needs much profiling in media. "I've actively supported the profiling of women in the media. We don't have TV talk shows that invite women to participate. We want to make sure that women are profiled, to be there to speak on any of the issues, whether it's the economy or other policy issues – not just women's issues or children's issues. It may seem an obvious point, but if the public is not aware of these candidates, then they will not vote for women. We want the public to be aware that these are capable women who should be voted for."
The advocacy for a 25%-30% quota in the legislature continues, as many women's groups strongly believe this is the only way to ensure women have an opportunity to enter politics. Other South Asian countries such as India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan have a quota for women, especially in local government bodies. While the present government's election manifesto and policy document has proposed the introduction of a 25% quota for women at elections, little has been done to address the issue.
"Parliamentary reform will open more doors," says Sepali who continues to meet with political parties and women's groups, constantly reminding them of the need to include women in politics. While simply having more women in parliament will not ensure good governance or more progressive policies on women's issues, Sepali and her colleagues at WMC believe that more women in elected government will bring in change. "Women will bring a different perspective, and a larger group of women can have a greater impact in terms of the issues they can support. The stronger their voices and better their impact, they will come together on issues that they are silent on today, that they're hesitant to speak on today".
There is some light at the end of this dark tunnel. The work with women's groups at grassroot level over the years has resulted in younger women taking a greater interest in politics, in women actively engaging government institutions and elected bodies for their rights, and a few more women stepping forward into active politics. In the recently concluded Western Provincial Council elections earlier this year, a woman candidate was elected the Opposition leader for the first time, having polled the highest number of votes in the Opposition party.
"We need to highlight these small steps forward," says Sepali. "We need to convince the population that yes we can vote women in and things can happen, things can change."
This article is part of a writing assignment for Voices of Our Future, which is providing rigorous web 2.0 and new media training for 31 emerging women leaders. We are speaking out for social change from some of the most forgotten corners of the world. Meet Us.
Manori, Thanks for telling us
Thanks for telling us a little about political inequality for women in Sri Lanka. I can't believe that even after making women's suffrage legal 61 years ago women are still so underrepresented in politics. You suggest that if women were in the media more often, things would change and women would have equal representation.
Do you think that the internet could help women have more of a say in politics? By posting on blogs and writing comments on newspaper articles maybe women could have a bigger role in politics?
I guess the under
I guess the under representation of women in politics is a coomon woe. In india also they have been fighting for women reservation bill ( in politics ) from so many years and there is no hope in sight yet. This needs to change. For that we need women like her.

Park Slope Civic Council's Annual Toys for Tots Holiday Collection. My office will be a drop off point for this wonderful annual program. Please donate new and unwrapped toys, games and books for children aged 12 and under to my office at 341 Smith Street. All of the gifts collected will be given to local organizations that work with families in need. We will be collecting gifts from Monday, November 28th until January 6, 2012. If you are interested in offering your business as a gift collection center, please contact the Park Slope Civic Council at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Just in time for Thanksgiving I partnered with Fairway Market to deliver 60 frozen turkeys to eight community organizations. Turkeys were brought to the Carroll Gardens Association, Christian Help in Park Slope (CHIPS), the Eileen C. Dugan Senior Center, the HOPE Program, the RAICES Gowanus Senior Center, the RAICES Times Plaza Senior Center, The Prospect Park YMCA and the YWCA. Here I am with Louise Franqui, who received a turkey through the Carroll Gardens Association. All of these organizations do tremendous work providing for those in need and I am proud to be here to lend a hand. I hope that throughout this holiday season we all find a way to pitch in.
Both elected officials, advocates and seniors reported long delays and increasing difficulties in applying for the program, recertifying, and getting resolutions to problems, and that there is no direct way to contact DOF staff when problems arise. Currently, applicants can only call 311 with questions about SCRIE and DOF is moving to require applications to be completed on-line. Advocates and elected officials alike agreed that this does not take into account the needs and comfort level of seniors both with language issues and technology. In the past, SCRIE was an example of a well run and valuable program - I will continue to push for resolutions for current program problems, that take into account the needs of seniors in our community.
In November I spoke at the "No Bully Zone, Keeping Kids Safe from Bullying" forum sponsored by the Brooklyn Grandparents Coalition and Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus, Department of Social Work. This was a forum for relative caregivers. I spoke about warning signs of children being bullied, what you can do about it, and how to keep children safe.
