Santa's Ghetto, SOHO London 2005
I hooked up with the guys (and girl) at POW a few months back. They had seen a few of my illustrations in the very rad and oh so affordable zine Pavmentlicker (run buy ORKO and Josh Jones) and wanted to make and sell some prints with my illustrations....they must have been drunk or something. I quickly became a huge fan of POW and was very humbled by the talent they had to offer at there site. To have them ask me out to show at there annual Santa's Ghetto art gallery .I couldn't believe it. I quickly found a reasonably priced ticket on Yahoo and a box for my paintings 10 hours later I was surrounded by London.
This is the first picture I took in London .looks cold right? That's because it fucking is.
The Ghetto is two floors of artistic love and hate...this is the top and bottom floor respectively
This is Paul Insect.....his last name really isn't insect that's just the name he and his design buddy work under...apparently he is really into old anatomy text books. All the pieces he is standing in front of are colages cut from 50+ year old text books.
The face that is d*FACE.
Blurry for a reason.
This is some of my stuff (bottom)and some of Paul's.
The prints that POW made from my illustrations...they look good but gave me carpal tunnel after signing a few hundred of them in a row. I need a smaller signature.
This is the gallery toilet. It kinda reminded me of the toilet from that movie Train Spotting. Looks like some one had chicken curry.... I didn't climb in.
Work by 3D (Massive Attack)..he really likes teeth and haloes.
Jamie Hewlett....closest thing I have ever seen to rock star artist...fucking kills it.
Apparently Jamie is the king of organization and all his pen's and pencils are ordered in front of his desk from light to dark and soft to hard or something like that.....I'm going to start getting organized too...maybe that's the secret to drawing better than anyone else in the world. Seriously even upclose these illustrations are fucking perfect.
These guys were friends of d*FACE and were wearing twenty pounds of skull shaped silver on there fingers.
Impossible to move through the gallery opening night. All those stenciled poems were done by super genius Simon Munnery who has a book available through POW's website.
Free Tiger beer.....that's right TIGER beer....I was in the right place.
Gallery front as I began my long stumble home for the night.
That is Steve...the cash man behind POW....at his new soon to be gallery in Soho which is sure to be a hit, and on the right is Lucy Mclaughlan's silhouette.
The great thing about walking around any large city is that you end up running into some pretty cool shit...WK, Neck Face, Miss Van, and Banksy
I ended up going to the TATE Modern (free!!!)when I had some time off.....this is the face you make when you are surrounded by large white blocks...seriously try it some times..every one there had this same face.
While at the TATE I went and saw the Rousseau exhibit...none of the above pieces are his...but they where in his exhibition as shit that influenced him. It was just nice to see some one more obsessed with tigers than I.
Tate again...this was the product of some game called exquisite corpse....something about a group of artists getting together folding a piece of paper and then taking turns drawing off of each others illustrations until it ends up looking like this....fucking rad!
I also had time to stop by the British Museum (free as well)....more tiger obsessed artists and the rosetta stone. They also had half of Egypt and ancient Greece's art in there....kinda felt more like a jail for ancient art than a museum...whatever.
Back at the ghetto...this was one of the most interesting (and buy interesting I mean god awful disgusting) pieces at the show. Chris Cunningham sure has some strange shit going on up there....these are stills from a video he made that was shown at the Ghetto.
More ghetto funk from Fail, Sick Boy and others.
Banksy's new Kate Moss pieces....holly shit does pop art ever sell.
Fresh back from Israel...this is some more of his new stuff.
This is Ian's (I like Drawing's) newest invention....drawing on rubbish.....his new enemy is not the police but the garbage man.
I went ahead a added a little pink tiger decoration to the front of the shop (paranoid pranksters).
This is my new favorite thing to do while perusing book stores....I take pictures of the parts of books and magazines that I find interesting instead of buying the whole book. This book for instance was full of crap photos except for this one single photo...and boom now it's mine.
Tard guard, me in the cold, PROZAC? and "look kids, big Ben".
Back at the gallery again; Simon Munnery, Ben (Eine), Paul Insect, and d*FACE
Stanley Donwood (radiohead)
This is Polly Morgan's taxidermy work....fucking beautiful stuff....if I only had more money.
If you were a mouse and lived in my coat pocket, had a camera, and took a photo of me from inside of my left pocket...this is what it would look like.
New York poster king Faile's new prints.
Some of my work on cardboard.
Steph from POW on the phone...working as usual. Stephs house is like the UN....her roomates are from Poland (so many Polish in London, but I don't hear one good Polish joke), Iran, and Brazil or something.
POW's headquarters/office where all those print books and other goodness comes from. Stuff was everywhere....it was great...you'd be going to the bathroom and trip over original pieces by Banksy, Eine, Faile and the like.
Fail, 3D and Banksy
Super Steve on the phone with Jude Law (hence the smile)
Banksy and Hewlett
Stacks and stacks of prints
Screens for Hewlett's stain glass window prints...they use some tar-like pigment....looks great but takes like 10 hours to dry. I don't envy the guy who cleans those.
Serious tea drinkers that lot. Random Banksy original in background
That's Ben in the black shirt showing off his new Hewlett print. He is the one responsible for all the prints on the site. I thought for sure they had some massive machine producing all those prints...but no, it's just Ben and one single-hinged press....amazing. He is also paints the crap out of old German letters....but never W's for some reason.
This was my work space while I made some new paintings for Steve and his new gallery. Had to be careful not to get any paint on Kate's million dollar smirk.......
Anthony Micalleff, Banksy

very beautiful template, i love it.
one tiny bug in IE7, the title:

RIO DE JANEIRO (Bloomberg) -- Petroleo Brasileiro SA, the biggest oil producer in ultra-deep waters, estimates it will save $18 billion in discovery costs after buying rights to one of country's top two finds, the company said.
It would cost $26 billion to acquire, discover and quantify an equivalent amount of oil in other areas from 2015 through 2021, Petrobras estimated in a presentation filed with the market regulator.
The state-controlled company's management met with sell-side analysts yesterday afternoon, June 27, to explain the $6.8 billion acquisition it signed with the government in exchange for rights to as much as 15 billion barrels of oil.
Oil reserves from the four fields in the so-called pre-salt region in deep waters of the South Atlantic included in the contract will reduce the need to participate in future bidding rounds, it said.
The company estimated annual spending will fall from an average of $45.6 billion between 2013 and 2020 to $26.6 billion from 2021 to 2030, mainly because of the construction of refinery and fertilizer plants.

Heading over the mountain on the way to Thanksgiving at my Dads, we made a quick pit stop in Welches at the Hoodland Thriftway. They had put up their Christmas lights, which shone through the dawn light. The mountain silohuetted in the distance is Huckleberry Mountain, which is a foothill on the southwest side of Mt Hood. It is also the mountain I grew up on!
On another note, today is the Civil War for the Rose Bowl between the OREGON STATE BEAVERS and the oregon ducks.

Okay, I was trying to clear up my email. Long story short, Yep – it's definitely "all clear"! Hundreds of emails, saved and new incoming. GONE.
And yet, no panic. I actually feel a sense of relief. Anything THAT important will somehow make its way back into my e-life. And now, the best part is that I've been able to manage my In Box on a daily basis.
Consider this goal Mission Accomplished! I so verrry happy! :D

Whole stone-in olives have a better flavour than pitted ones, so will improve the finished dish. For a punchier flavour add 1 finely chopped preserved Moroccan lemon and stir it into the stock before adding the couscous.
- Toss the chicken thighs in half the spices and a pinch of salt until completely coated. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large sauté pan with a lid. Fry chicken, skin-side down, for 10 mins until golden brown, turn over, then cook for 2 mins before removing from the pan. Pour the rest of the oil into the pan, then fry the onions and garlic for 8 mins until golden. Stir in the rest of the spices, then cook for 1 min longer. Pour over the chicken stock and scatter in the olives. Bring everything to the boil, turn down the heat, then sit the chicken, skinside up, in the stock.
- Cover the pan with a lid, then simmer gently for 35-40 mins until the chicken is tender. Put the kettle on, then lift the chicken onto a plate and keep warm. Take the pan off the heat. Stir the lemon juice and couscous into the saucy onions in the pan and top up with enough boiling water just to cover the couscous if you need to. Place the lid back on the pan, then leave to stand for 5 mins until the couscous is cooked through. Fluff through half the parsley and the lemon zest, then sit the chicken on top. Scatter with the rest of the parsley and zest before serving.

Comments, questions and tips
Fantastic recipe. Quick and easy and totally delicious, the chicken was so moist and tender. As mentioned before, I didn't need any extra water for the cous cous. I used chicken quarters and I added a handful of raisins while the chicken was simmering. Gave it a coronation chicken taste. Just lovely, will be making this again and again.
I couldn't push this in my face fast enough and even after my stomach started whining as it could take no more, i persisted to eat.
I made my own version on the garam masala and almost doubled the quantity of spices as couscous has a habit of dulling down a dish.
I also added a whole green pepper 10 minutes before couscous time, this worked a treat.
Also when it says 'keep the chicken warm' i put it in the oven on gas mark 8 to crisp it up, well worth it!
I usually wouldnt cook chicken with the skins on but did with this. As a result it didnt need anymore oil adding to it at all so hopefully done a bit of damage control where the calories are concerned. I only used 5 thighs as that was all I had. I used 1tbsp of Ras El Hanout to coat the chicken, then an extra tsp to add to the onions. Like others I added raisins at the end when I added the cous cous. It went down really well with all concerned, even my 2yr old daughter who generally wont eat chicken unless in nugget form! Served with rocket and the courgette salad with honey and poppy seeds also from GF. Really good and plenty of cous cous left over for a nice lunch tomorrow. Will be making again in the near future! Yum
I've changed the couscous for bulghur wheat and found this is delicious. Takes a little longer to cook but is well worth it. I seem to use a little more of the spices than suggested in order to get a good covering on the chicken and achieve a great flavour. I put the chicken in a bag with the spices and give it all a good shake to avoid getting yellow fingers. Leftovers have reheated in the microwave after a couple of days in the fridge and were still delicious.
I made this with my 5 year old and 2 year old and we all loved it (they're not big chicken eaters so it was a good result!) I left out the parsley and next time would include olives without stones too to make it easier and safer for the kids, since they like olives. It would also be nice with some cooked peppers and courgettes if you want to up the veggie content. A great meal for all the family.
I made this meal last week for my boyfriend, it was really easy to make and it tasted lovely. I would definitely make it again! Instead of olives I added chickpeas, red pepper and carrots. I didn't add any extra water at the end and next time I would add a bit more spice, I served it with some yoghurt on top which went really well with it.

You know, Neil, if the Minnesota Supreme Court says, 'You sign the certificate' — and there's not an appeal or some other contrary direction from a federal court — you know, that's my duty.
Now take into account this report from MinnPost.com's Eric Black back in April:
In a series of email exchanges with Pawlenty's spokester, Brian McClung, I sought to clarify what level of discretion the guv was claiming over the issuance of the certificate. At first, McClung pointed out that there is no deadline in the law for the issuance of the certificate after the conclusion of the Contest Court process and state Supreme Court appeal. It sounded as if Pawlenty was claiming the right to indefinitely postpone the certificate.
Superficially, Pawlenty is telling us not to worry, that he's happy to sign on the dotted line. But he also throws in the caveat "and there's not an appeal or some other contrary direction from a federal court" which makes me wonder.
Having watched the state Supreme Court's proceedings on June 1 when they heard oral arguments from both campaigns, I have a very positive impression of the Court and of the Justices' attention to detail. Expecting that they affirm Senator-elect Franken's victory, it would be proper of them to include an order for Pawlenty, in his role as Governor, to prepare and sign an election certificate. But, given that his staff has noted that there's no time requirement attached, Pawlenty could very easily slow walk the certificate while Republican Norm Coleman seeks a stay or an injunction on the certificate from a federal court in advance of a federal appeal. University of Minnesota's Professor Larry Jacobs explains:
But Jacobs still sees wiggle room here. "Signing it — and how quickly you sign it — those are two different things," Jacobs explained. "If Norm indicates that he's going to be filing in federal court, the Governor may just say, 'you know, I am gonna sign it, I'm just waiting to hear from my legal counsel that this is appropriate.'"
Further, if the state Supreme Court affirms Senator-elect Franken's victory but doesn't add in the explicit order to Pawlenty to prepare and sign the election certificate, then who knows!? At the very least, Pawlenty's reassuring words are not all that reassuring, nor should they be given the wiggle room those words leave for Pawlenty. Of course, if Pawlenty deliberately obstructs and delays after the state Supreme Court rules in Senator-elect Franken's favor, the U.S. Senate is still empowered to seat Senator-elect Franken (and Pawlenty's delay would likely give Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid the political impetus to move forward with Senator-elect Franken's seating), but that move still faces the threat of filibuster from Republicans. If that were to happen, Democrats would likely need a couple of Republicans to buck their Party in the name of supporting the democratic process. Hopefully this issue will be moot, but it's never too early for Democrats to reach out to more responsible Republicans like Olympia Snowe and Dick Lugar about their willingness to support Senator-elect Franken's seating should the eventuality arise.
Will Coleman have a say in this ?
The key, as you stated, is : will the MN-Supreme Court include in its ruling instructions that the certificate must be signed ?
Did you notice that the first question that Justice Page asked Franken's attorney related to jurisdiction and that the Senate could decide who and when to seat the next Minnesota Senator ? The Court had previously rejected Franken's request that a certificate be issued (after the State Canvassing Board ruling) stating that the Senate can do whatever it wants. It seems to be a balancing act that the Court views its role as only to address the election contest and not tell the Senate what to do.
The interesting question is when the MNSC made their decision on Monday did they even consider the certificate signing question. Based on the questions that were asked it seemed that they question whether Coleman even had a case. It could be that they would just deny his request and let the Election Contest Court ruling stand … which would mean that the "signing" question was not addressed. So right now the five Justices know the decision and we will have to wait weeks while they write the opinion(s). The Justices know the question exists but they might not feel inclined to get involved in other branches of government's responsibilities.In the end, Pawlenty does not have much of a choice but to sign … but he has little to lose by taking his time … but then again he has little to gain either.
As a lame duck Governor, his political career may be over. His options are limited – President or US Senate. Considering the make-up of the Republican Party, a mid-westerner without any military or foreign experience and without a strong theology base does not offer much appeal to the typical Republican activist. Remember that Pawlenty was McCain's Co-Chair — yet couldn't deliver the MN delegation to McCain even though by that time in the primary season McCain was clearly the nominee. A 2012 Presidential campaign would be over after Huckabee wins Iowa again and Romney takes New Hampshire — actually a 2012 Presidential campaign would largely be a campaign for the VP slot … yet he has little to offer in terms of policy, experience or connections.
The other option would be to seek a seat in the US Senate.
In 2012, Klobuchar's seat is up. Obviously, it's too far out to speculate what will dominate the economy and world affairs at that time, but considering that Klobuchar and Obama dominated Minnesota in their last respective elections, it would be a difficult campaign (instead considering redistricting, the MN-GOP may be inclined to pick Michele Bachmann as their nominee.)
So after 2012, the next Senate race would be 2014 … and defending his seat will be …. Al Franken.
A Pawlenty
v Franken race would be too inviting to pass up.
By that time, most Minnesotans will have long forgotten how long it took Pawlenty to sign the certificate. To the MN-GOP, Pawlenty has been the Guardian Angel for No New Taxes and Coleman only lost because Ritchie wouldn't count all of Coleman's votes (never mind that 63,209 McCain voters did not want Coleman to get another term.) And as a sitting Senator, Pawlenty would have a better shot at a 2016 Presidential run.
The odd thing is that for all the discussion of whether to sign, Pawlenty has publicly stated that Minnesota is being short-changed without two Senators.
Lastly will Coleman have a say in this. With Pawlenty not seeing a third term, will Coleman assume the martyr role, and "accept" the MNSC ruling (even though he knows his right) and not appeal to the Federal Courts ? Considering that polling indicates that Coleman should not appeal, he may want to seek state level office in 2010. Oh sure the Governorship is available … but if he really wants "fix" all the problems in the election system, he should challenge Mark Ritchie for Secretary of State.
Pawlenty speaks again.
From HotlineOnCall " … if the court issues a directive to do that, I certainly will do it. I'm not going to defy a Minnesota Supreme Court order. So we'll follow the direction of the court." Pawlenty said Coleman will have to decide, however, what to do if the court does not rule in his favor. "That's really up to Norm," he said. "That's not for me to say. He's going to have to weigh and measure a lot of factors in that situation, including the liability of his case, what's good for the country, what he feels like doing, any many other things." Sure sounds like Pawlenty will ONLY sign if the MN-SC tells him. For someone that was a practicing attorney and the elected Governor, he seems unable to read the law and interpret in a manner that would benefit the citizens of Minnesota.

Mixing oxycodone and ritalin
Common Questions and Answers about Mixing oxycodone and ritalin
First, I must tell you my husband is a DEA agent in Miami, so telling him was definitely rough. I told him that I take too many pills
that I want
need to quit. He said that he already knew, but he though that I seemed fine, taking care of our 3 month old daughter just fine and that other that spending too much money all was JUST FINE. Okay, I said that I'm not fine and I need to go into detox. He absolutely refused to let me go!
Read More
In August I watched him break morphine capsules
ingest the powder. He also snorts
when he needs to stay awake for work, then valium, clonezapam, ativan for sleeping at night. If I can get to him, I could keep him alive with the Gatorade and Ensure but once again, I would be enabling him like I always have. But right now, I can't even get to him. The last time he drank, he wasn't taking as many pills and the bender lasted 9 weeks. Seriously...9 weeks of drinking vodka daily...
Read More
Then my psych doctor out me back in and tried to cut me down from 12 MG TO 6 MG because she was worried when I had relapsed on alcohol a couple of months ago
the two. I went into seizures and DT's in less than 36 hours. She had forced me to go into in-patient treatment, so after the DT'S attack that day I released myself. I freaked out and was ready to kill the entire staff there, I was in both alcohol and Klonopin withdrawal together.

, random deep body aches, deep, black depression
shortness of breath. I can't determine what is withdrawal
what is some other weird thing. Yesterday, I started getting headaches. I have tried to cut the 20 mg. dose to 15 mg. and I go nuts. So now I'm trying to cut it by 2.5 mg. decreases. I have done this the last couple of days with very little symptom...except headache and dry eyes. Are these all normal...is there no end to the list of stuff this methadone can trigger?
Read More
They are not sharp pains but more of a constant 'throb'
can go on for hours. Pain relief medication does nothing
the only relief I can get at all is the application of something topical like '4-Head' or the American 'Head-On'. Although I have been a reasonably 'active' drinker in the past, if anything now, at the age of 61 (male), I rarely have more than two drinks at a time ... which is why I'm surprised at the onset of these headaches.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Isaiah was born on August 3, 1963.
He was born and raised in Houston, Texas, where he became one of the first graduates from Willowridge High School in 1981. At one point he dreamed of a professional football career, but later served in the United States Air Force and dreamed of becoming "the second "General Washington."
He settled on acting, however, and attended Howard University as a Theater Arts major. After college, he became an original member of the City Kids Repertory, a theater company that performed in schools in effort to bring relevant productions to inner-city youths.
Washington has guest starred on Law & Order, NYPD Blue, Ally McBeal and other TV series. His film credits include Girl 6 (1996), Get on the Bus (1996), Out of Sight (1998), True Crime (1999), Romeo Must Die (2000), Exit Wounds (2001) and Ghost Ship (2002).
His full name is Isaiah Washington IV. A DNA test to determine his heritage showed that his father's side is from Angola and his mother's side is from Sierra Leone. He married Jenisa Marie Washington on Valentine's Day, 1999. They have two children.

Wacky experiments with color films and afga rodinal!
Just made this wacky thing... I found some old agfa rodinal , ilford fixer and ilford wetting agent and decided to "no rule developing" an old color film i had over here. This was my procedure: 0 - there are no temperature limits. Tap water just as it comes (it happens it was cold) 1- 1minute with 1:40 wetting agent, shake it (invert the tank and so on) 2- wash it up with tap water 3- 11minutes with rodinal 1:50 (water temperature - dunno, maybe 16ºC) - shake it once or twice every 2 min 4- wash it up again with water 5- 3minutes with the fixer 1:4 6- wash it one more time 7- leave it to dry.This photo was shot on film. Taken by luisfernandes with a Recesky TLR Camera loaded with Kodak Gold 200 (35mm) film in Aveiro, Portugal. These tags describe this photo: x-pro, cross, processed, agfa, rodinal, b&w, process, colors, kodak, gold, 200, recesky, tlr, cold, developed, homemade, lab, and rat. This photo can also be found in the album Rodinal's Gold.

Advice is a form of relating personal or institutional opinions, belief systems, values, recommendations or guidance about certain situations relayed in some context to another person, group or party often offered as a guide to action and/or conduct. Put a little more simply, an advice message is a recommendation about what might be thought, said, or otherwise done to address a problem, make a decision, or manage a situation. Advice is believed to be theoretical, and is often considered taboo as well as helpful. The kinds of advice can range from systems of instructional and practical toward more esoteric and spiritual, and is often attributable toward problem solving, strategy seeking, and solution finding, either from a social standpoint or a personal one. Advice may pertain to relationships, lifestyle changes, legal choices, business goals, personal goals, career goals, education goals, religious beliefs, personal growth, motivation, inspiration and so on. Advice is not pertinent to any solid criteria, and may be given freely, or only given when asked upon. In some cultures advice is socially unacceptable to be released unless requested. In other cultures advice is given more openly. It may, especially if it is expert advice such as legal advice or methodological advice also be given only in exchange for payment.
The Foolish Dictionary, by Gideon Wurdz
A commodity peddled by your lawyer and given away by your mother-in-law, but impossible to dispose of yourself. Famous as the one thing which it is "More blessed to give than receive." =GOOD ADVICE= Something old men give young men when they can no longer give them a bad example.

There comes a defining moment in every trend's life when it will either graduate to iconic, classic status (yes, even trench coats and ballet flats were new and novel once) or fade away into obscurity until it feels fresh again. The 15 outdated styles above definitely fall in the latter category, although if our editors have anything to do with it, that won't last for long. They're rallying hard for each one to swing back into style—even if it means doing their own thing for awhile. We think fashion's most fun when a little risk's involved, don't you?

The way a ministry builds its budget has significant impact on how successfully the ministry lives out its mission. For larger ministries, the need for budgets to be built strategically and aligned missionally is crucial. The question is how. How do you build this kind of budget?
I know this question is on ministry leaders' minds because so many of them signed up for ECCU's recent Advanced Budgeting webinar. So I'm looking forward to presenting an educational session on advanced budgeting at the upcoming Christian Leadership Alliance (CLA) 2013 National Conference in Anaheim, California. And I'm thrilled to be co-presenting with Caryn Ryan, whose credentials couldn't be more impressive.
Caryn is the managing member and founder of Missionwell LLC, a full-service accounting, finance, and virtual office solution that exclusively serves nonprofits. She has extensive experience in major industry settings like Amoco Corporation and nonprofit settings like World Vision International, where she served as CFO.
To set the stage for our session at CLA, I asked Caryn a few questions about budget building.
Mark: Caryn, what are some strategic steps budget planners of large organizations should take to ensure that the process heads in the right direction?
Caryn: The most successful budgets have senior executives driving them. If the budget is a finance/accounting department effort only, it's going to be less successful. Beyond alignment with the strategic plan, it's helpful to have clear goals or business imperatives for the budget for the coming year. Examples might be absorbing new activity without affecting fixed costs, taking a deeper dive into the effectiveness of specific programs, freeing up funds to establish an operating reserve account of $XX without disrupting operations, or even starting a critical program when funding is at 60%.
Mark: Many ministries experience tension when it comes to aligning money and mission. What are some guiding principles or best practices to assure that a ministry's budget reflects priorities?
Caryn: Aligning money with mission sounds easy, but is surprisingly hard to do! Start by listing out your strategic objectives/priorities, then translate them into strategic goals. Next, lay out multi-year strategies to achieve the goals. This is where the budget starts to come in. Each strategy (program or activity) requires direct resources, whether people and/or program dollars. Identify the direct resource (people and/or dollars) for each strategy at the level required in the budget year to achieve the longer-term goal.
Now the fun begins! Start a conversation to help answer these and other questions:
- Are resources available to fund all strategies?
- Do goals need to be adjusted?
- Are fixed costs and overhead affordable?
- Do programs or activities seem to move the organization towards its goals quickly enough?
The heart of the budget is to move the organization toward its goals efficiently.
Mark: What are some keys to assuring that a budget serves the organization well after it is approved?
Caryn: The simplest way to keep a budget alive is to consistently report actual results compared to the budget. Color coding variances can highlight the ones that are significant and require attention. Focus staff and teams on those variances. Also, keep in mind a budget doesn't have to be completely financial. For instance, you can budget the non-financial elements of your balanced scorecard and report against those variances, too.
Budgets die after approval if they are not used as accountability tools!
If the organization doesn't have a system of accountability, that should start with the board. The board negotiates with the president/executive director on what elements he or she will be held accountable. This may mean employing a flexible budget/agreement on what is and is not controllable in the year, or a range of acceptable outcomes around key line items. Pay increases, bonuses, and other rewards should be linked to achieving budget goals.
Another part of the accountability spectrum is staff—paid or unpaid, outsourced or direct employees. Once strategies have been funded in the budget, then people can be linked to the strategies. Typically, this is expressed as a percentage of a person's time against an annual performance goal. The budget stays alive for the individual through their team meetings and meetings with supervisors as they compare actual performance to objectives aligned with the budget.

Family fights to keep comatose Pakistani in US
What was meant to be an academic semester abroad through a State Department-backed exchange program has turned into a Kafkaesque journey through US insurance, medical and visa regulations for the family from Faisalabad.
Muhammad Shahzaib Bajwa, 20, was studying anthropology and sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Superior when a deer struck his car as he returned with friends from Minneapolis on November 13.
The deer's antlers pierced his face and broke his nose, although he was still able to speak.
But once at the hospital, he choked on his own blood and suffered a heart attack, said his elder brother, Shahraiz Bajwa, who has come to help.
The brother said that the insurance company was pressing the family to sign off on returning Bajwa to Pakistan once his visa runs out at the end of the month, threatening not to pay evacuation costs if the family refuses.
"My mother is not going to sign because that would be like killing her son with her own hand," the elder Bajwa told AFP.
Bajwa questioned whether his brother would survive 24 hours on a plane and, even if he does, whether he would receive quality care in Pakistan.
Bajwa said his family had limited means, with their mother a widow.
"Some of the doctors are very positive about his recovery, saying he is young and intelligent. Sending him back to Pakistan is pushing him off the cliff," he said.
Bajwa said that the hospital, Essentia Health-St Mary's Medical Center in Duluth, Minnesota, had provided his brother's $350,000 worth of treatment for free.
The insurance policy under the exchange program covers $100,000, which would go toward evacuation and treatment in Pakistan, Bajwa said.
An Essentia spokeswoman, Maureen Talarico, said that the hospital could not keep Bajwa beyond February 28 when his visa runs out as he would be in the United States illegally.
Talarico said that the hospital was coordinating with the State Department "to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible in this obviously unfortunate situation."
But a lawyer for the family, Saiko McIvor, said she was hopeful for reaching an agreement to extend or issue a new visa for Bajwa beyond February 28.
The elder Bajwa said that the family was under "huge stress."
"Things are tightening around us and it's getting worse," he said.

|Mine Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet
Certificate of enrollment in the Mine Force U.S. Atlantic Fleet
to all who shall see these presents, Greetings:
Know ye, that on this day of 25 February 1956
Admiral Arleigh A. Burke
of his own free will did, at the U.S. Naval Minecraft Base, Charleston, in the State of South Carolina, embark
in a ship of the Mine Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, to wit U.S.S. Valor (MSO-472), and did then and there place
himself under the protection and guardianship of the aforesaid Mine Force and in so doing did agree to conform
to the rules, customs and traditions of this exalted Band of Brothers. Know ye further, that the said U.S.S.Valor, flying the flag of the high office of the Chief of Naval Operations, did depart from the aforesaid
Minecraft Base and did proceed into the broad reaches of the great harbor of Charleston, where the mighty
rivers Ashley and Cooper unite to form the Oceanus Atlanticus and where divers perils of the deep await those
hardy souls who go down to the sea in ships.
And let it be recorded that throughout this voyage the aforesaid Admiral Burke
did obey all lawful orders issued to him, did conform to all rules, customs and traditions of the Mine Force,
and did so comport himself as to merit the approbation, confidence and respect of those regular members of this
Force whose duty it was to observe and assist him, and preserve him from the aforesaid dangers of the deep.
Therefore, reposing special trust and confidence in Admiral Burke, who has
demonstrated a special interest, in the Mine Force of the Atlantic Fleet, I do hereby appoint him, by and with
the consent of the officers and men of the aforesaid Force
A Mine Man (Honorary)
in the Mine Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet effective from this day forward, with full rights of qualification for
promotion to the higher ranks of this Force as his future loyal and diligent service may warrant.
Be it known throughout the Seven Seas that the aforementioned Mine Man is entitled to all due respect and
honor from the United States Navy wherever he may proceed, and I do strictly charge, enjoin and require all
members of the Mine Force, Atlantic Fleet, to heed his counsel and advice, knowing that he will well and truely
discharge the duties of his office which consist of keeping the best interests of the Mine Force at heart.
Done aboard the U.S.S. Valor in the great harbor of Charleston, South Carolina, this 25th day of February, in
the year of our Lord, One thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-Six.

Kaunas, Lithuania, 1944: As Soviet tanks edge ever closer to the Lecter family's Nazi-occupied estate, 8-year-old Hannibal (Aaron Thomas) and his younger sister, Mischa (Helena Lia Tachovska), are suddenly orphaned by a surprise Stuka attack. The children are left to fend for themselves in a hunting lodge hidden deep within the surrounding forest, until they fall into the clutches of a marauding band of looters led by the brutal Grutas (Rhys Ifans). Faced with imminent starvation, the thugs hit upon a plan straight out of Hansel and Gretel: They murder, cook and devour little Mischa. Eight years later, a traumatized Hannibal is once again living in his family's chateau, now being used by the Soviets as a state orphanage. Tormented by nightmares about his sister's awful fate while facing down bullies with a disturbing viciousness, Hannibal uncovers a pack of his mother's letters and, following the return address on an envelope, escapes to the West to seek out his uncle. Hannibal finally arrives at the lavish Chateau Vigo only to learn that his uncle died one year earlier. But he's taken in by his uncle's beautiful widow, Lady Murasaki (Gong Li), a Japanese noblewoman who teaches Hannibal the grisly traditions of her samurai ancestors. When Lady Murasaki is insulted by a butcher (Charles Maquignon) at a local market, Hannibal uses his newly learned skills with a samurai sword to murder and mutilate his first victim. The circumstances surrounding the crime arouse the suspicions of Inspector Popil (Dominic West), a local police officer who's also tracking down Vichy war criminals. But Lady Murasaki, aware of Hannibal's guilt, provides her nephew with an alibi and frees him to kill again. And kill again he does: Now a medical student, Hannibal doses himself with enough sodium thiopental to recall all the repressed details of his sister's death, then travels back to Kaunas to wreak his terrible — and suitably grisly — revenge on her killers.
Much of what makes Hannibal Lecter so frightening is the unfathomable gulf between the hypercivilized exterior and the ferocious, bloodthirsty beast beneath the refined mask of sanity. To explain his diseased mind is to rob the character of its mystery, and rooting his monstrousness in the far greater evil of Nazi war crimes only makes relative what should simply strike us dumb with horror. But the bigger problem is a weak central performance by Gaspard Ulliel, a French actor with a limited control of English cadence. Snarl and glower as he might, he lacks the charisma that made Anthony Hopkins' and Brian Cox's prior incarnations of the character so hypnotically compelling, and ultimately so dangerous. leave a comment --Ken Fox

Why I Can't Stand White Belly Dancers
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Google the term "belly dance" and the first images the search engine offers are of white women in flowing, diaphanous skirts, playing at brownness. How did this become acceptable?
The term "belly dance" itself is a Western one. In Arabic, this kind of dance is called Raqs Sharqi, or Eastern dance. Belly dance, as it is known and practiced in the West, has its roots in, and a long history of, white appropriation of Eastern dance. As early as the 1890s in the U.S., white "side-show sheikhs" managed dance troupes of white women, who performed belly dance at world's fairs (fun trivia: Mark Twain made a short film of a belly dancer at the 1893 fair). Many white women who presently practice belly dance are continuing this century-old tradition of appropriation, whether they are willing to view their practice this way or not.
Growing up in the Middle East, I saw women in my community do Raqs Sharqi at weddings and parties. Women often danced with other women, in private spaces, so that this dance was for each other. When they danced at house parties with men in attendance, the dynamic shifted. When women danced for women alone, there was a different kind of eroticism, perhaps more powerful, definitely more playful, or maybe that's how it felt to me, as a child and teenager, wary of men's intentions. At weddings the dancing was celebratory and flirty and beautiful, something a professional dancer would come in to do, and something that everyone else would continue engaging in. If there was a drummer present, all the better. At my wedding, I was my own dancer. I hired a band that specialized in Arabic music and danced with my family and friends, not all of whom were Arab.
One of the most awkward occurrences for me when I go out to an Arabic restaurant is the portion of the evening when the white belly dancer comes out. This usually happens on weekends, and I've learned to avoid those spaces then, but sometimes I forget. The last time I forgot, a white woman came out in Arab drag — because that's what that is, when a person who's not Arab wears genie pants and a bra and heavy eye makeup and Arabic jewelry, or jewelry that is meant to read as "Arabic" because it's metallic and shiny and has squiggles of some kind — and began to belly-dance. She was not a terrible belly dancer. But she was incredibly thin and didn't remind me, in any way, of Tahia Karioca or Hind Rostom or my absolute favorite Raqs Sharqi dancer, Fifi Abdo. Abdo used to dance in the expected bra and skirt but later danced mostly in robes that were somewhat shapeless and more traditional — a kind of relaxed housewear- streetwear dress that folks in Egypt rock daily. There are videos of her in these robes dancing at weddings and smoking sheesha while she dances. When I am having a particularly lousy day, I watch this video of her and dance along.
At a movie theater in Cairo in 2007, I argued with a male friend about why the lead actress wore a strange, baggy dress underneath a bra-and-skirt dancing ensemble. He suggested that she was uncomfortable with her body; I suggested that the country was becoming more conservative and she was too much of a media darling to appear with her skin exposed. Years later, the revolution happened, or tried to happen, and when the Muslim Brotherhood took over, and Western news outlets began publishing stories that claimed belly dancing was a dying art. Tell that to the women on the streets and on rooftops and in bedrooms and living rooms and weddings dancing their hips off. (See this video, for example, of actual working-class Egyptian women of all sizes and ages dancing in the streets.) The one interesting thing about these stories is that they reported that Western, or white women, were beginning to take over gigs in Egypt. These women moved there out of an obsession with belly dance and are now appropriating it from local dancers.
