[edit] Outline
A group in Frass Chasm is attempting to build a new type of glider, and they've asked the Guild for assistance in completing the new machine.
Assist in assembling a glider.
- Requirements not met in time.
- Player(s) wiped out during boss battle.
[edit] Enemy Quest Item Drops
Creature | Drops |
Treant | Wonder Gel |
Direspider Dire Waterspider Dire Windspider Dire Firespider Spider Sprog Waterspider Sprog Windspider Sprog Firespider Sprog |
Light Shell, Sturdy Shell, Thin Shell |
Giant Vespid Killer Vespid Poison Vespid Sleep Vespid |
Light Wing, Sturdy Wing, Thin Wing |
[edit] Important Locations
- Main Path (No Crossing): Vespid Drops
- West Path (Crossing at K-5): Spider Drops
- Dandelion at K-5: Crossing to Western Side
- Dandelion at G-6: No Crossing
- Encampment at K-3: Liliram (NPC) who makes Engine Parts
[edit] How To Run The Quest
Split your party into 2 groups and head towards the crossing at K-5, with one group heading west across the gorge and the other north along the path. The north-bound party will be collecting Vespid drops, while the Western-bound will be collecting Spider drops – Both are required for the higher ranks.
Once both groups have amassed a good amount of drops (this should be when all the enemies are killed and you reach then end of the path you are head down.) Enemies will respawn relatively quickly, so you can kill the new enemies on the way back for more materials.
Both parties need to rendezvous at K-3 (where the encampment and 2 NPCs are standing) and for everyone to hand their drops to one person. This person can then use the drops to create Engine parts and to hand in for the Wings and Body (if more than one person tries to do the last section, you may not achieve the desired result.)
Head back to the start and hand the materials one-by-one to the 3 Glider Engineers – Wings, Body and Engine. Once at least 10 Materials have been added, you can talk to the pilot to start the flight, which will result in the player being teleported to the crash/landing site of the Glider. The party should buff at this point and then talk to the pilot again to start the Boss fight.
[edit] Determining Quest Rank
Rank | Conditions | Boss(es) |
D | Hand in any 10 materials. | 1x Wyvern Rex |
C | When a part becomes out of balance and becomes impossible to correct. | 1x Wyvern Regina |
B | Get all 3 parts to 'Very Good' state or higher. | 1x Wyvern Regina 1x Wyvern Rex |
A | Get all 3 parts to 'Excellent' state or higher. | 1x Wyvern Regina 2x Wyvern Rex |
S | Get all 3 parts to 'Perfect' state. | 2x Wyvern Regina 1x Wyvern Rex |
[edit] Material Values
Each of the materials you collect have a set value they add to one or more of the Glider parts. These values will help you achieve an S-Rank when use alongside the responses of the 3 Engineers.
Enhancement Value | |||
Material | Wings | Body | Engine |
Sturdy Wing | 3 | 0 | 0 |
Light Wing | 2 | 1 | 0 |
Thin Wing | 2 | 0 | 1 |
Sturdy Shell | 0 | 3 | 0 |
Light Shell | 1 | 2 | 0 |
Thin Shell | 0 | 2 | 1 |
Turbo Engine | 0 | 0 | 3 |
Wing Engine | 1 | 0 | 2 |
Body Engine | 0 | 1 | 2 |
Wonder Gel | 1 | 1 | 1 |
[edit] Engine Materials
There are 3 different Engines which can be produced by Liliram (K-3):
Name | Required Materials |
Body Engine | 5x Thin Wings & 5x Thin Shells |
Wing Engine | 5x Light Wings & 5x Light Shells |
Turbo Engine | 5x Sturdy Wings & 5x Sturdy Shells |
[edit] Responses And Their State
The key to achieving a high rank is to listen to the response given by the engineers and to use the appropriate material(s) to increase the state of the lacking parts.
State | Engineer Response |
Poor (Initial)
(0-18) |
"Mmm… No, this glider isn't going to work." |
(19-20) |
"You know what? This might actually work." |
Very Good
(21-22) |
"!! All right, now we're cookin' with charcoal!" |
(23-24) |
"!! Not too shabby… Not too shabby at all!" |
(25-26) |
"Dang! This is turning out better than I imagined!" |
Out Of Balance
(27+) |
"…Ah, crud. This thing's all outta balance. No way she'll fly like this." |
(You will make a part out of balance when you enhance it beyond a perfect state.)
[edit] How To S-Rank
To achieve an S-Rank, you will need to get a perfect state in all 3 parts of the glider, but this is not as simple as using a set list of materials as the required stats. to achieve this state is random for each part on every run of the quest (the value can be 15, 20 or 25 required points.)
[edit] Important Notes
- You can only use up to 20 Materials on the Glider to achieve a perfect state in all 3 parts, anymore will result in a failed Glider
- You cannot reset or take back a material once you hand it over, so a single mistake will not allow you to S-Rank the quest
- You do not require Wondergel, so avoid the Treants as they will waste time in completing the quest
[edit] Required Materials
You will need to harvest (between the party):
- 18x Sturdy Wings
- 1x Light Wing
- 9x Thin Wings
- 18x Sturdy Shells
- 1x Light Shell
- 9x Thin Shells
[edit] Steps To Take
Step 1
Hand all the materials to a single player at the rendezvous at K-3, using 15x Sturdy Wings and 15x Sturdy Shells to make 3x Turbo Engines.
Step 2
Head back to the start and allow the person with the materials to place ALL the parts as necessary, if more than one person tries to outfit the Glider it becomes difficult to keep the parts in balance.
Step 3
Hand in 7x Thin Wings to the Wing Engineer and 7x Thin Shells to the Body Engineer.
Step 4
This is the tricky part, you will need to hand in the remaining materials in-line with the responses given by the Engineers – To aid you in this, a list of possible states and which materials that can be used to achieve the perfect state have been given below. First talk to all 3 engineers, and select the option to leave the part as it is. Look at the comment you receive and compare it with the comments above to see what state each part is in.
Body engineer says: "!! Not too shabby… Not too shabby at all!" (Excellent state)
Wing engineer says: "Mmm… No, this glider isn't going to work." (poor state)
Engine engineer says: "You know what? This might actually work." (good state)
Then just use the table below to see which row has those stats for those parts. In the table below that would be row 2. So you need to use another 3x Sturdy Wings, 1x Light Wing, 2x Turbo Engines to get all 3 parts to perfect.
Part State | |||
Wings | Body | Engine | Materials To Hand In |
Poor | Good | Excellent | 3x Sturdy Wings, 1x Thin Wing, 2x Sturdy Shells |
Poor | Excellent | Good | 3x Sturdy Wings, 1x Light Wing, 2x Turbo Engines |
Good | Poor | Excellent | 3x Sturdy Shells, 1x Thin Shell, 2x Sturdy Wings |
Good | Excellent | Poor | 1x Light Wing, 2x Thin Wings, 3x Turbo Engines |
Excellent | Poor | Good | 3x Sturdy Shells, 1x Light Shell, 2x Turbo Engines |
Excellent | Good | Poor | 1x Light Shell, 2 Thin Shells, 3x Turbo Engines |
(You can check the state of any body part by talking to relevant Engineer and not handing them anything, they will then say one of the phrases listed in the "Responses And Their State" section above.)
[edit] Solo Guide
For players who cannot find a party to run with and require either the White Wyvern (Wyvern Rex) or Black Wyvern (Wyvern Regina) drops, you can run this quest Solo with the Single Player party relatively easily.
[edit] Preparation
- Set your AI to 'Heal First' and equip your best non-elemental weapon
- Setup your Ark Knight with the best Sword, Armour and Shield you can make
- Carry Heal III and Mana III Potions
[edit] Steps To Take
Step 1
- For the Wyvern Rex – Go to J6, kill 3 Vespids and 3 Spiders. Go to J7 and give 5 wings (of any type) to the Wing Engineer and 5 Shells (of any type) to the Body Engineer.
- For the Wyvern Regina – Kill Vespids until you get 10 Sturdy Wings. Go to J7 and give them to the Wing Engineer.
Step 2
Talk to the pilot (as normal) and buff before the fight.
Step 3
Start by breaking the Wyvern's tail for a free drop then aim the head. If you have a weak avatar and can not defeat the Wyvern, transform into your Ark Knight and use your best Slash attack, keeping an eye on your HP, MP and Turn Breaking when the target charges for a Breath attacks. Once you use your Turn Break, block any subsequent Breath attacks to stop your Knight being knocked off balance.
Step 4
Collect your spoils ! D rank will net you White Wyvern parts in the loot box and C rank will net you Black Wyvern parts. B, A and S ranks give both White and Black Wyvern parts in loot box with in general more and better parts. While getting a C/D rank gives worse quality items from the loot box, it's better to do it if you need a particular item because :
- Spawning 1 Wyvern takes less than 5 minutes while spawning 3 can take over 30 minutes
- Killing 1 Wyvern is easily soloable (especially if you play with your companions)
- You will only get items related to that Wyvern in the loot box

California On Track for Gigawatt of Solar Grid Power This Summer
The California Independent System Operator (CaISO), the agency that operates the power grid in California, reported last week that the state hit a new record for solar power feeding into the grid: on Tuesday July 24, the contribution that solar electricity made to the state's power grid reached a record 978 megawatts. That replaced a record set earlier in July, which bested June's record.
Those figures don't include much rooftop solar, which doesn't feed into CaISO's grid. But the numbers are sure to continue rising as more grid-tied solar panels come online. According to ReWire's calculations, it's very likely that California will set a 1,000 megawatt record for solar grid power before the end of this summer.
The day-to-day solar grid power peaks can vary wildly, depending on the weather, maintenance and repair activities on larger solar installations, and demand for power -- CaISO will ramp down production if we aren't using much electricity. There's also a weekly cycle: power consumption tends to drop on weekends.
Because of this daily variability, it can be hard to discern trends within the noise. But according to CaISO's figures, the typical peak solar grid contribution surpassed 800 megawatts on June 8, and then broke the 900 megawatt barrier on the first day of July.
To smooth out the noise in CaISO's daily solar peak figures, ReWire took each date in June and July and charted the average peak output of the previous five days, which statisticians refer to as the five-day moving average. This helps make trends over time clearer, and according to our calculations the state's peak solar output is very likely to surpass 1,000 megawatts -- one gigawatt -- during August or September. Click to view this rough chart at full size:
Despite a significant dip in mid-July, the upward trend is notable. Of course two months' data isn't enough to establish long-term trends, but in the context of rapid installation of solar capacity in the state and last week's record just 22 megawatts shy of the 1,000 megawatt mark, August or September seem a reasonable estimate of when we'll surpass that mark.
Prognostication is risky business, and several obstacles remain to hitting 1,000 megawatts. The days are getting shorter, for one thing: the state is likelier to experience cloudy weather as summer winds down and there's always a chance that large installations will go offline for maintenance, repair, or other unanticipated events.
But as more and more large property owners install solar generating capacity, even cloudy winter days will cease to prove much of an obstacle. Germany, which has a climate comparable to that of Seattle, put 22 gigawatts of power into its grid in May, the result of strong government support for photovoltaic power. In other words, even when we do break the gigawatt barrier, we have lots more room for improvement. A gigawatt is about a fortieth of California's typical peak power demand: a very large drop in a gigantic bucket.

25 Of The Best Toddler Crafts For Little Hands
This collection of arts and crafts is perfect for little hands. And big hands, too. Because let's be real, you're going to want to join in.
1. Homemade Scented Play Dough
Um, remember Play-Doh? It was always so fun until it hardened into a rock or you tried eating it and couldn't feel your tongue for a few weeks. Well, now there's a recipe that's just as fun and probably a lot less toxic! Plus, this recipe is made with powdered drink mixes, which means it smells good. It's like smelly markers and Play-Doh all mixed into one. Please don't eat it, though.
2. Handprint Fall Tree Craft
Trees are probably the most drawn object in the entire world. Why not amp up the game a bit with some paint and cotton swabs? Plus, who DOESN'T want to turn their hand into a tree? It beats that old hand-as-turkey project any day.
3. Torn Paper Shape Collage
If you're feeling "torn" about what kind of picture to do (sorry, that joke was begging to be made), you can go for some minimalistic shapes, or try to copy another image. It's easier than it sounds, promise.
4. Wooden Block Prints
Are you ashamed of the blocks gathering dust in a box in the hall closet? Ever since iPads happened, blocks probably aren't the first option. Here's an opportunity to dust 'em off and put 'em to good use in a fun and colorful way.
5. DIY Stamps
You can't deny the satisfaction stamping gives you. Here's a way to make artistic, abstract stamps using everyday objects. From Irresistible Ideas For Play Based Learning.
6. Plastic Bead Suncatcher
Get ready to take arts 'n' crafts to the next level. That's right, we're talking some bead-melting genius that will melt your face with its awesomeness. This DIY comes from The Artful Parent, and will help your child feel like the best new artist to hit the scene.
7. Negative Leaf Impressions
There's finally a use for all the pretty leaves you found on the ground and didn't know what to do with. Instead of painting and pressing them onto paper, check out this exciting idea from Tinkerlab. Create negative leaf impressions while building fine motor skills by spraying leaves with liquid watercolor paints.
8. Homemade Chalkboard Paint Wall Hanging
If your children are the kind who color all over your beautiful white walls, this might help be a good form of therapy. Plus, who doesn't want to have a mini chalkboard at their disposal? With this special paint, you can transform just about anything into a fun (and acceptable) drawing spot. And you can use any color of paint for the base, so you can let your inner control freak loose and match your chalkboard wall (or tray) to your decor.
9. Poppy Painting
Do you see how happy this young child is?! You (or your child) can achieve this much glee with a DIY from Tonya Staab. Any boy or girl will love cutting circles and painting on a canvas — just like a real artist. We're pretty sure the end result would look fine next to some of the modern art in the MOMA.
10. Sand Painting Creation
We will not soon forget the labor of love required to make black magic paper. Maybe you should just opt out of all the work and go for some magical sand painting instead. Using black construction paper looks just as cool and really makes the artwork pop.
11. Sticker Paint Creation
Use foam stickers and finger paint to mix together this colorful and fun art project. But you know, don't use too many colors or it'll just turn into a greenish-brown mess (we've all been there).
12. Paper Photo Frames
We say, "Screw those dry macaroni frames!" This is the dawn of a new era of frame making. Think outside of the macaroni-encrusted box with this craft from Martha Stewart. Your child will hone fine motor skills while cutting paper, plus they'll feel way more accomplished and you can still cook pasta for dinner.
13. Bubble Wrap Paint Print
Just when you thought bubble wrap couldn't get any more magical/mysterious/endlessly entertaining. This bubble wrap print (made from painting on the bubble wrap if you hadn't guessed) will have any child (and most adults) dying to order something fragile from Amazon and go to town.
14. Play Binoculars
While these paper towel tubes won't really enhance vision as play binoculars, they'll definitely enhance play time. You can get all Harriet the Spy on your neighbors or track new species of neighborhood cat.
15. Fossil Cookies
We're pretty sure that every child, at some point in his/her young life, fantasizes about digging up dinosaur bones. We all secretly suspect there are some remains in our back yards, don't we? Now you can relieve some tension with these fossil cookies from Martha Stewart, and eat them after. That way, you won't be tempted to eat real fossils when you find them. You never know.
16. Faux Stained Glass Window
All those stained glass windows in cathedrals ain't got NOTHIN' on this little project. All you need is a really fancy (not fancy works as well) plastic lid, and you'll have your own stained glass window in no time. Hang it up and the admirers will come from all corners of the world to bask in the glory.
17. Cloud Dough
This dough is one of those strange science wonders that most adults can't even properly explain. It's powdery one moment and wet and sandy the next. Don't even ask, the most scientific explanation we have is, "Because, you know. Stuff mixes together to make stuff."
18. Rolled Golf Ball Paint Craft
There's something satisfying about rolling a golf ball through paint to create this easy golf ball painting. Maybe it's those little ridges.
19. Bubble Paint
Now this is something you don't see every day. We dare you to find one person who doesn't love blowing and popping bubbles (you can't). They'll love the effect of colorful bubbles to create this popping masterpiece. Even if you don't have a kid, we're pretty sure you'll be doing this like, tomorrow.
20. Comb-Painted Rainbows
If trees are the most commonly depicted object in child artwork, rainbows follow shortly thereafter. Plus, every household has about 6 or 7 spare combs at all times for whatever reason we can't explain. Put them to use with this project from No Time For Flashcards.
21. Spray Paint Craft
Make your tot's name really pop with this colorful spray-paint craft. It's super awesome looking, and it might make up for the fact that you named your child Beiia. Oh, wait. Maybe it's Bella. We also recommend consistency in lettering.
22. Edible Finger Food
Finger paint that's also pudding?! We can't. Is this heaven? All you have to do to mix these edible finger paints is use pudding and a few drops of food coloring. We're mad that we've only used food coloring to make green eggs and ham and cookie frosting up to this point.
Source: POPSUGAR Moms
23. Acorn Cap Jewels
Make all the squirrels in the neighborhood jealous with your collection of luxurious acorn cap jewels from Paint Cut Paste! It's super easy and fun, and all the forest creatures will probably call you their new ruler (note: this isn't a guarantee).
Source: Paint Cut Paste
24. Colorful Apple Print Place Mats
Since apples are basically huge liars and eating one a day doesn't really keep the doctor away, you may as well show them who's boss by cutting them up and using them in your artwork. That'll teach 'em.
25. Homemade Goop
Have you ever played with this stuff before?! It's also known as oobleck, and it's sometimes a liquid and sometimes solid. Yeah, we don't get it either but it will keep you mesmerized for HOURS. We kid you not.

Wednesday federal headlines - September 18, 2013
Wednesday - 9/18/2013, 10:40am EDT
The Morning Federal Newscast is a daily compilation of the stories you hear Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp discuss throughout the show each day. The Newscast is designed to give FederalNewsRadio.com users more information about the stories you hear on the air.
- For the second day following Monday's shooting incident, the Washington Navy Yard is closed to all but mission essential personnel. The Navy is asking everyone else to telework. The visitor control center at O & 11 St. is open to normal operations. But only DoD CAC cards and other government IDs will be admitted. The 9 & O St. gates are open for foot and car traffic. All other gates are still closed. Parking areas open at 9 a.m. for people needing to retrieve their cars. (Federal News Radio)
- The Navy's access control procedures are in the spotlight following release of a Defense Inspector General report. It shows the Navy tried to save money on a system that ended up giving felons unfettered access to military facilities. Under congressional pressure because of Monday's Navy Yard shootings, the IG released the 56-page report yesterday. The IG recommends the Navy abandon its so-called Rapidgate, designed to ease entry for occasional contractor visitors to installations. Auditors found the system didn't meet federal standards. Monday's shooter, Aaron Alexis, had been cleared by a higher level system than Rapidgate. (Federal News Radio)
- Federal prosecutors have charged a Navy commander, a Naval criminal investigator and a long-time defense contractor in a bribery scheme. They say the three conspired to gain millions in international port contracts. Leonard Francis is CEO of Glenn Defense Marine Asia. His company has held 'husbanding' contracts for Navy ships at ports worldwide for 25 years. Prosecutors say he bribed Commander Michael Misiewicz of Northern Command and Naval Criminal Investigative Services Agent John Beliveau, paying for trips, prostitutes and gifts. In exchange, they allegedly gave him information that let him overcharge on the contracts. (Associated Press)
- President Barack Obama has ordered a review of security clearance policies for employees and contractors following the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard. White House spokesman Jay Carney says the Office of Management and Budget will examine standards across all federal agencies. Law enforcement officials say Navy contractor Aaron Alexis had a secret level clearance. He used it to enter the Navy Yard, where he killed 12 people and wounded several more. The Pentagon and the Navy are doing additional security reviews. Separately, the Director of National Intelligence has begun its own review in the wake of the Edward Snowden leaks. (Associated Press)
- A secret court has reauthorized the National Security Agency's phone records collection program for another three months. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Judge Claire Eagan based her decision on the fact that no phone company had challenged the government's request for information. Eagan asked that her opinion be made public, given the widespread interest in the NSA's surveillance programs. The names of the phone companies are redacted in both the opinion and order.

- The people who watch the money in federal agencies say they don't have enough money to do their jobs. A new survey of inspectors general finds their number one worry is the budget for their own offices. IGs say sequestration budget cuts forced furloughs and hiring freezes. That means less manpower to do audits and other oversight activities. IGs also say they lack enough IT support to fully do their jobs. The Association of Government Accountants, and Kearney and Company conducted the survey. (Federal News Radio)
- When it comes to federal tax receipts, you get what you pay for. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration says collections from delinquent taxpayers dropped last year for the second year in a row. TIGTA says that's partly because of budget cuts and personnel reductions at the IRS. The IG found enforcement revenue fell by $2 billion in 2011 and $5 billion in 2012. Some 8,000 people have left the IRS in the last three years. Plus, the agency is opening up delinquency investigations faster than it's closing them. (Associated Press)
- A new senate bill would force the Defense Department to improve its bookkeeping or face the consequences. It was introduced by Sen. Tom Coburn (R- Okla.) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). The Pentagon bill sets a deadline of 2018 for the Pentagon to produce a clean financial audit. If it doesn't, the armed services would be barred from funding new weapons systems. The bill also stops Defense agencies from buying commercial information technology that takes longer than three years to install. Coburn complains, DoD furloughed people over the summer while wasting money it can't fully account for. (Senate)
- When it becomes available for sale Friday, the newest smart phone will have a security feature likely to please federal users. The iPhone 5S will have a built- in fingerprint reader for access control. The four-digit access code will still be there, but only as backup. Positioned as part of the home button, the fingerprint reader will be able to recognize up to five fingers, so people can use it with either hand or give access to trusted co-workers or family members. Apple says the reader operates below the skin, so fake rubber fingerprints won't work. Growing numbers of federal employees are using Android, iOS and Blackberry smart phones for daily work. (Apple)
- Microsoft has released an emergency fix for Internet Explorer after hackers launched what the company calls "extremely limited, targeted attacks." The workaround tool addresses a weakness in the way Internet Explorer accesses something in memory. It lets attackers execute code remotely and gain a user's access rights. As such, IT professionals and others with administrative privileges are at greatest risk. Reuters reports state-sponsored hacking groups pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for these types of weaknesses. Whenever Microsoft releases a fix, it runs the risk that cyber criminals will try to reverse-engineer it and make the problem worse. (Reuters)

A decade ago, David Packard Jr. restored this old movie palace to its original splendor, fitting for the celestial pantheon of stars from the "golden age" of movies who appear, larger than life, as perhaps they were, on the Stanford Theater's screen. Jewel tones and gilt in rich Moorish-inspired designs adorn the walls and ceiling; a pipe organ serenades the audience before and after movies and plays along with the silent antics of Buster Keaton or Harold Lloyd. And proving that old stars really do never fade, the line to get in the theater often stretches around the block.

Maybe even Peninsula culture maven Lucie Stern--sometimes called the godmother of Palo Alto--didn't know the extent of the legacy she left when she built the theater and community center that now bears her name. Young dilettantes can dabble in some diverse cultural activities that are all within a block of the Lucie Stern Community Center, whether it's attending or performing in a play at the Palo Alto Children's Theatre, wandering through the library's arcadian maze of gardens with a special book, or participating in some hands-on exhibits and making friends with rabbits, reptiles and the other animals who live at the zoo.

Myth America: The Barbie Museum isn't just a tribute to a plastic plaything but a catalog of 20th-century pop culture.
The multitude of molded plastic denizens of the Barbie Doll Hall of Fame may all be less than a foot in height, but the many incarnations of Barbie through the decades loom large here, almost as large as the near life-size renderings of Barbie and Ken who guard the aisles. An army and then some of the pint-sized fashion plates from the '50s to the '90s line the walls. But, as founder Evelyn Burkhalter can attest, this museum is more than just a tribute to a plastic plaything--there's a half-century of pop-culture history here, from 1965's Fraternity Dance Barbie or 1969's Flower Power Barbie to the '90s-era Got Milk Barbie. Other contemporary dolls include Dr. Barbie and Astronaut Barbie--who's sure to avoid alien abduction with her blazing pink spacesuit.

Off University's main drag at Groovesmith, a hip-hop head's dream collection awaits, with old-school artists, rare jazz, burgeoning trip-hop, and here today, gone tomorrow collectibles. The jazz selection is as thick as the rap selection--a tell-tale sign of a good hip-hop record store. A listening bar is set up for test driving CDs, and a pair of turntable decks wait for spinning wax. The super-knowledgeable staff cares deeply about all genres and treats each customer with respect. Just another reason to buy records from someone who cares about music, instead of a part-time tattoo artist or a faceless "10 CDs for a Dollar" Music Club.

Sealed With a Brick: The 18th-century Frenchman's Tower in Palo Alto still awaits a clever sleuth to unlock its mystery.
Steve Staiger of the Palo Alto Historical Society says that whoever finally figures out the original purpose of Frenchman's Tower will get their 15 minutes of fame--at least in Palo Alto. This approximately two-story brick tower looks a lot like a displaced castle turret, except that its gothic-arched windows are all bricked over. Reportedly built in the late 18th century by the Peninsula's celebrated French pioneer, Peter Coutts, the tower now stands guard right off of Old Page Mill Road. A barbed-wire fence and "Private Property" sign encourages would-be puzzle-solvers to keeping their hypothesizing to the public side of the fence--as if the clump of poison oak clinging to the tower wasn't incentive enough.

Set mostly in cyberspace, but also in Palo Alto, Exegesis--a first novel by Astro Teller (the grandson of hydrogen-bomb scientist Edward Teller)--consists entirely of the imagined email correspondence between a Stanford grad student and "Edgar," an Artificial Intelligence program that she created. Edgar develops a will of his own, bolts from his domain and begins to wreak havoc on the information highway. This forces his inventor to deal with the Big Questions: What is the ultimate meaning of consciousness? What is the source of morality? And what do you do when Daddy cuts you off for not finishing that thesis while the National Security Agency is on your trail?
Exegesis, by Astro Teller; Vintage Contemporaries, 1997, paperback
Martha Stewart Jealous
On a peaceful corner just off bustling Embarcadero Road, in the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden Center, community volunteers and the Garden Club of Palo Alto have cultivated a flowery oasis that would make that infamous diva of domesticity herself Kelly green with envy--or at least a nice shade of pistachio. A spectacular formal garden covers much of the grounds around the 1902 Gamble house, which include a tea house and wisteria garden, carriage house, fountain and gazebo. But this garden isn't only for show; it also hosts a number of classes and projects in the "working" portion of the garden. And it's an easy bet that even Martha's squirrels don't look as content as the ones here.

General practitioners' perceptions of the illness behaviour and health needs of South Asian women with Menorrhagia
Chapple, Alison, Ling, Margaret and May, Carl (1998) General practitioners' perceptions of the illness behaviour and health needs of South Asian women with Menorrhagia. Ethnicity and Health, 3, (1-2), 81-93. (doi:10.1080/13557858.1998.9961851).
Full text not available from this repository.
Objectives: A study of general practitioners' (GPs) perceptions of the health needs of women of South Asian descent who suffer from menorrhagia.
Method: A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with 50 GPs in two British towns.
Findings: This study suggests that some women of South Asian descent may not consult their GPs even though suffering severe menorrhagia. Moreover, some GPs perceive that women may suffer from anaemia as the result of such illness behaviour. One reason for this reluctance to consult for menorrhagia may be the fact that some women of South Asian descent prefer to be examined by female doctors, yet may attend practices that lack a female partner. The study also shows that South Asian women, who consult male GPs for menorrhagia, are sometimes referred to hospital outpatients without internal examinations, and that women may be reluctant to keep their hospital appointments because of the lack of female gynaecologists. The study also indicates that a shortage of female interpreters may make communication difficult between some health care professionals and their patients, particularly when a complex and sensitive subject such as menorrhagia needs to be discussed.
Conclusion: Women of South Asian descent may suffer serious problems such as iron deficiency anaemia, partly due to untreated menorrhagia. Since this was a study of GPs' perceptions of the health needs of South Asian women, it is now important to interview women themselves, to learn more about their perceptions of menorrhagia, and their perceptions of any subsequent contact with health care professionals.

How Are the Big Banks Doing In Their Commitment to Increase Small Business Lending
Last September in Cleveland, 13 of the nation's largest banks stood beside Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., and Karen Mills, chief of the Small Business Administration, and announced a commitment to increase small-business lending by $20 billion over the following three years.
In order to check in to see how the banks are doing with their commitment, we dug into the FDIC call reports, where the banks' self-reported data for loans with a balance of $1 million or less. So for the purpose of tracking the commitment, we looked at these numbers as of June 30, 2011 (the last reporting period before the commitment was made) and compared them to June 30, 2012 (the most current data available).
Here are the results.

4 Responses to "How Are the Big Banks Doing In Their Commitment to Increase Small Business Lending"
I have been following your information. I support your position that the big banks really are not the main driver of small business loans. FDIC just published there report on examinations of small banks and it contained an interesting kernal of information. Based upon FDIC information they say banks under $1Billion in assets hold 11% of the deposit base but provide 37% of the loans to small business.
September 7, 2012I work for one of the large banks and underwriting is very tight. We are turning away a lot of applicants. Three things need to be done for this to change: 1-Someone somewhere is going to have to address reducing banks' risk exposure to losses on defaulted lending. Unfortunately someone is going to have to allow for this risk to take place to get the economic development engine going again. Managament is too focused on the bottom line impact. 2-I think that the credit bureau scoring methodolgy and recordkeeping is horrible and should be scrapped and replaced by some other means of identifying credit worthiness. 3- Last but not least the Fed Reserve need to loosen up liquidity to encourage more lending.
September 7, 2012Did you adjust for mergers?
This could simply be "new to you" loans that were already on the books of an acquired bank.
In other words, did Citi make new small biz loans or did it buy a small biz lender?
If the latter, then no new small biz loans were actually made.
September 13, 2012Just a bit of information that might be helpful to those who are interested in getting an SBA Loan. I have had quite a lot of success myself with this software program that prepares the sba loan package for the lender. It has lender connections and also a business plan maker included in it. It really does everything. If anyone is interested in it the site is: http://sbaeasy.com They also help you with the submittal and have unlimited assistance every step of the way. I highly recommend it. Hope that helps everyone to get the business loan they need for their plans…

Only three states in the Nation allow undocumented immigrants to apply for driver's licenses. But as young people lacking permanent status in the U.S. begin to apply to the Obama administration's Deferred Action program questions about who's eligible to drive are being raised.
Will Deferred Action applicants between 16-and-30-years old who are granted "temporary legal residents" status be eligible for driver's license?
California Department of Motor Vehicles spokesman Mike Marando said the state may have to consider Deferred Action applicants as "temporary legal residents" in order to avoid the state's license ban.
He said further state legislative or regulatory clarification may be needed to issue the licenses.
"The driver's license law does not change, but the immigration status of the young people in the country will," Marando said.
In February Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck told the L.A. Times California should issue driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants.
"My personal belief is that they should be able to" have licenses, Beck said in an interview with the LA Times. "The reality is that all the things that we've done — 'we' being the state of California — over the last 14, 16 years have not reduced the problem one iota, haven't reduced undocumented aliens driving without licenses. So we have to look at what we're doing. When something doesn't work over and over and over again, my view is that you should reexamine it to see if there is another way that makes more sense."
Undocumented immigrants were eligible for driver licenses in California until 1993, when the Legislature passed SB 976. Gov. Pete Wilson signed the bill which required residents to provide a Social Security number and proof that their presence in California "is authorized under federal law" in order to obtain a license to drive.
Utah, Washington and New Mexico are the only states in the nation that allow residents to access driver's licenses regardless of immigration status.

Vionnet, born 1876 - died 1975 (designer)

Silk crêpe and silk crêpe de Chine

This afternoon dress belonged to Lady Dovercourt. It is an outstanding example of Madeleine Vionnet's art. She was born in 1875 in Aubervilliers, France, and was apprenticed to a seamstress at an early age. She worked in the Paris suburbs in her late teens before joining Kate O'Reilly, a London dressmaker. In about 1897 Vionnet returned to Paris. She worked with David Bechoff, Callot Soeurs and Douçet before opening her own fashion house in 1912. Her work was interrupted by the First World War (1914-1918), but she reopened in 1918, moving to 50 avenue Matignon. She retired in 1939.
Vionnet was master of the bias-cut dress, which moulds the body without restriction and flows with its movement. In this garment her bias-cutting techniques allow the matt silk crêpe (woven to her specifications) to follow the contours of the body. The bodice front has intricate, meticulously executed drawn threadwork. The bodice back and sleeves take their diamond-shaped grid from the lie of the warp and weft in the fabric. The zigzag openwork seam that joins the neck yoke and bodice provides more flexibility and suppleness than a conventional seam.

Late in the season plants may mature prematurely. Leaves may curl and turn a purplish color. Tubers may also appear malformed.
Environmental factors such as low moisture or nutrition, primarily phosphorus, or a combination of these may result in early maturation or tuber malformations. These stressed plants are more susceptible to diseases and disorders such as Verticillium wilt, early blight, and black spot. Good cultural practices can minimize disorders. Plant for uniform stands with correct spacings. Maintain levels of soil fertility and moisture that support uniform plant development throughout the growing season. Irrigation to maintain adequate soil moisture levels during hot weather is critical, but excessive soil moisture must be avoided. Avoid excess nitrogen, which causes excessive vine growth.

Helping Without Harming: The Instructor's Feedback Dilemma in Debriefing—A Case Study
Helping Without Harming: The Instructor's Feedback Dilemma in Debriefing—A Case Study
Stimulation in Healthcare: The Journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare. October 2013 - Volume 8 - Issue 5 - p 304-316. doi: 10.1097/SIH.0b013e318294854e
Rudolph, J. W., Foldy, E. G. et al.
Simulation instructors often feel caught in a task-versus-relationship dilemma. They must offer clear feedback on learners' task performance without damaging their relationship with those learners, especially in formative simulation settings. Mastering the skills to resolve this dilemma is crucial for simulation faculty development.
We conducted a case study of a debriefer stuck in this task-versus-relationship dilemma. Data: The "2-column case" captures debriefing dialogue and instructor's thoughts and feelings or the "subjective experience." Analysis: The "learning pathways grid" guides a peer group of faculty in a step-by-step, retrospective analysis of the debriefing. The method uses vivid language to highlight the debriefer's dilemmas and how to surmount them.
The instructor's initial approach to managing the task-versus-relationship dilemma included (1) assuming that honest critiques will damage learners, (2) using vague descriptions of learner actions paired with guess-what-I-am-thinking questions, and (3) creating a context she worried would leave learners feeling neither safe nor clear how they could improve. This case study analysis identified things the instructor could do to be more effective including (1) making generous inferences about the learners' qualities, (2) normalizing the challenges posed by the simulation, (3) assuming there are different understandings of what it means to be a team.
There are key assumptions and ways of interacting that help instructors resolve the task-versus-relationship dilemma. The instructor can then provide honest feedback in a rigorous yet empathic way to help sustain good or improve suboptimal performance in the future.

When heresy becomes fashionable.
Long before the concept became fashionable, this magazine had been arguing that the only way Africa can improve the quality of life on the continent was through domestic industry and increasing intra-African trade.Most of the time, it seemed we were whistling in the wind. Our theory was considered 'heretical'. The prevailing wisdom was that Africa's future lay in increasing the volume of its raw commodity exports.
We argued that bigger volumes of raw commodities meant lower global prices. Worse, exports of raw commodities do not create wealth or spread it around in terms of good jobs and incomes. There is no technology transfer, no innovation, no incentive for entrepreneurship.
But that went against prevailing wisdom which came from the developed world. It came packaged with loans, aid and grants. If you wanted loans, you had to buy the economic theory. The theory was excellent for the interests of the developed world; it was catastrophic for Africa.
Nevertheless. for decades we bought the theory, even though it made no economic sense. Africa has been exporting raw commodities since it was first 'discovered' by Portuguese sailors. It continued to export raw commodities during the colonial era and even today, it persists in exporting raw commodities.
The outcome: wealth for those who import the commodities and add value to them; poverty for us. Independence changed nothing as far as the unequal economic relations were concerned.
But the gods of economics, sitting in London, Washington and Paris had spoken and our leaders meekly followed their prescriptions.
We argued that economic emancipation is not possible without economic control. We said that the size of the economic pie in Africa was outside our control. When the pie shrank, as a result of lower global prices, there was less to go around. Inevitably, those most able to control the distribution of the pie, i.e. government and monopolistic businesses took the biggest slices and everybody else had to scramble around for what was left.
Governance had little to do with political battles--the poor fight for their stomachs.
But now, fortunately, this magazine's 'heretical' ideas have become fashionable. Now we hear leaders talking about developing markets, expanding markets, adding value to our resources, mobilising capital. We are no longer looking outside for our economic salvation but to our own capacities and capabilities.
This movement, sad to admit, is not yet continent-wide. Many countries are still content to remain 'rent economies'--exporting commodities and importing everything else. They still shun intra-African trade. Nevertheless, the movement has started and is gaining momentum--I refer you to our interview this month with Tanzania's President Benjamin Mkapa (page 14).
While African Business, together with a number of African economists and thinkers, have provided the intellectual lead in this direction, the impetus has come from South Africa.
Let South Africa lead the economic fight
South Africa, almost alone in the continent, developed its economy on the back of a commodity fuelled industry. Its value-adding mechanism is superb--on a par with the best in the world. South Africa has not asked for nor needed loans or aid. Its domestic market is vast and its African market is growing. But for the blight of Apartheid, it would have been one of the strongest economies in the world.
Therefore, when South Africa speaks, the rest of Africa and for that matter, the world has to listen. South Africa's message is: develop your home markets first and other good things will be added unto you.
South Africa has the capital, the know-how and the will-ingness to develop the domestic markets of other African countries. It will not do so out of charity but because of good commercial sense. This is as it should be: business that cannot sustain itself is not business--it is pouring water into a sieve.
Unfortunately there seems to be a tendency of hostility to South African investments in the rest of Africa. Some countries seem to prefer investments from outside the continent, even if these are of dubious or no value to the country. This self-defeating attitude is born out of an unreasonable, churlish envy for South Africa.
African Business will now make another 'heretical' prophesy: Africa can leap-frog the technological gap and arrive into the 21st century without having to undergo all the stages that the developed world has had to. India has done so, China is doing so, Taiwan and Japan are past masters at it.
We too can utilise the new technology no matter what the current state of development may be.
But most African countries will need a nursemaid during the transition stage. The old nursemaids--the former colonial powers and other northern countries--brought us up to be only hewers of wood and diggers of the soil. We cannot trust them because their interests and ours are not the same.
South Africa has all the qualifications to be this new economic nursemaid--if only we will let it. We have nothing to lose but our poverty.
Hang on to this 'heretical' theory. It might become fashionable sooner than we think.

Hoo boy. The DC Circuit this morning rejected a class action - filed by an M.D. - by people who drank milk before discovering they were lactose intolerant, demanding warning labels on milk:
Tort law does not provide protection from the obvious or "widely known" risks of consuming a particular food. The risk that some people will get gas after consuming certain foods, such as milk, is widely known. A bout of gas or indigestion does not justify a race to the courthouse. Indeed, were the rule otherwise, a variety of food manufacturers as well as stadiums, bars, restaurants, convenience stores, and hot dog stands throughout the country would be liable to millions of would-be plaintiffs every day.
Just wait until someone gets cramps and then attacks a person in front of them, killing them. Will they get off using the Lactose Defense?
Just thought of this. He wasn't called Harvey Milk for nothing.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
A bout of gas or indigestion justifies a race to the bathroom, certainly, but not to the courthouse.
Every time I hear about the latest depths to which lawsuit abuse has plunged, I stupidly think it can't get any worse. Well, no more. I guess there is no limit as long as there is a lawyer, imagination and indigestion.
By the way, Daryl, that's not bad for a quick yuk.

Adding 2nd Battery...help
One thing to keep in mind when adding a battery switch is whether your outboard''s alternator works like a car alternator or works on a magneto. If it works like a car alternator, you''ll need a battery switch with a field disconnect. This keeps you from blowing the alternator diodes when switching between batteries, or if you accidentally turn off the batteries with the engine running. If your alternator is of the magneto type, I don''t think this is a factor.
In any case, common procedure is to start the engine with the battery switch in the "both" position, then switch to the "house" battery after shutting the engine down. This lets the alternator charge both batteries while the engine is running.
One concern I have is whether the alternator on your 15 hp outboard puts out enough juice to charge two batteries. I had an alternator added to my 5 hp outboard, and it proved to be a complete waste of money.
Hope this helps.

Note: The d7 version of this module should no longer be necessary when using more recent versions of Features module. If you feel this is incorrect, please open an issue.
This module is useful for feature development using the Features module. Occasionally the Features module auto detects components that you do not want exported to features. You can use this module to remove those auto-detected components from any and all features you choose. The Features Plumber UI module adds checkboxes to the feature create form, and unchecking these detected components will cause them to be removed from the actual generated export.
Note: The d7 version of this module should no longer be necessary when using more recent versions of Features module. If you feel this is incorrect, please open an issue.
The Features Plumber module itself is light weight, but still is really only needed in development environments if you so choose (see admin/build/features/settings). Included is also a drush command for removing components from features:
drush fcr example_feature views frontpage |
Do not export the frontpage view to the example_feature. |
drush fcr all views frontpage |
Ensure that the frontpage view is never autodetected for any feature. |
drush fcl example_feature |
List the available components to remove from example_feature. |
drush fcl example_feature dependencies |
List the available dependencies to remove from example_feature. |
Please be careful with this module. It is powerful, and needs testing.

There's no better way to experience the mountains of Colorado than in a real log home. But don't worry, this isn't the kind of log home that sports a dirt floor and a nasty draft. This is a luxury home with all of the charm of the past, and all the amenities of the present. If Honest Abe were alive today, he'd be awfully jealous of the gourmet kitchen, hardwood floors, full-floor master bedroom, and 2400 square feet of living space. Mountain Echo Lodge is the perfect getaway when you want to enjoy expansive mountain views and some peace and quiet, but it's also really convenient when you want to get out and enjoy everything that Breckenridge has to offer. Walk a short distance to the shuttle stop, and you can head off to skiing or shopping downtown free of charge.

I heard that EVE CEOS need to read the emails before they accept to join their corp. Also they will read the emails for the entire period while you are in their corp. I am wondering how eve comunity accept this invasion of privacy. What is next : stream your webcam while you play ? |
Not really true However, By getting your API they have (IF YOU ALLOW) the option to read all your historical evemails, Why do this you ask >? Well they want to make sure your not in allegiance with their enemies Wants to stop it? Dont give them your API that allow them to read your evemails, you can create API to allow them acces to what ever you wish If yuou really have a problem with giving them an API then dotn join simple as. Besides once your in, you can cancel the API key you have given them, thus stopping them viewing anything that is new, so whilst your post is 'partially' true the general thing is your way over the top. This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game :) were of course your welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online. |
A corp is placing a significant amount of trust in you by letting you join. Oh and the API is only able to give access to in game emails, not your out of game messages. But tbh, they're not really going to bother with your evemails; what they're interested in is your transaction history. If you join alliance A with your character Awoxy McSpy that has extensive tranaction history from another character in Alliance B, which is actively hostile to Alliance A, then your new alliance has a legitimate interest in knowing about this. Give me liberty or give me lasers |
This is what happens when 5 to 10% of the games population is made up of corp thieves who would steal from their friends and corp spys looking to hurt other corps. Eve is a cruel mistress but you cant get this kind of gameplay anywhere else.
Originally posted by Talonsin Its called espionage, and in Eve, its just another tool used in corporate or alliance warfare. Basically if you want to join an corporation, you need to be able to prove that your applying in honesty and not as a spy, and as already mentioned, its in game mails only. |
Originally posted by Phry You misunderstood my post. This is the kind of thing that makes Eve its own unique game and why it will be around for a long, long time. In no other game can one person screw over so many others so badly. BOB had thousands of people in it and yet a single person dissolved their alliance and threw them in complete chaos. In that one act, those people lost years worth of effort. No other game is like this. It is what makes Eve special and lures some many people to continue to come back and play it year after year. |
Originally posted by Quazal.A My alliance wanted the FULL API now, they read my evemails, I have been a longterm BOB member, IT, had chars in old TRI, fmr INFOD, Curse Alliance and am in Ncdot now, and I have ppl working @ the office who are Goon members. So what? I mail them, they know I won't give intel to them, they don't give it to me. Lol, the alliance leader himself has goon characters which he plays regularly to spy on them. And with all that Full API drama going on and people not being happy with it because simply he can't be trusted -we as members all know him too well- his own corp (D00M) had a spy being a former kicked director who still had a alt in his corp with pos rights (more then a year after she was kicked), which cost his corp a titan loss some 3d ago when she lowered pos shields and orchestrated a hotdrop on the bridging titan. Full API is only good for preventing thievery by a margin. In alliance metagaming it's the disgruntled directors/CEOs/Alliance Leaders who you have to watch out for. History proves that. Ironic that the people who DEMAND full APIS are the ones that can't be trusted with it. Normal spy grunts really cause no damage and their API is only useful for their own CEOs. If you are a multi account user, just don't connect any 'juicy' character (being a spy, industrialist with posrights etc) -basicly anything that you don't want your corp/alliance to know- to your main account. 2 accounts are more then enough. for example: main acct is polluted with a full api to your corp/alliance, use a trader alt on your 2nd account to trade between other chars on the 2nd account and the ones on the main account. That way they never get their hands on the good stuff, and only know the name of the trader. Just outsmart THEM, it's not that difficicult. And if you don't like it: you could always found your own corp or join one that is not that paranoid and NSA-like. "going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win" |
And then whine like crazy and ragequit when Awoxy McSpy gets past the recruiter and kills your deadpsace-fitted mission BS in a 0.9 sec system.

You don't have to accept it. Join a corp that doesn't require any type of background check. Problem solved.

Ah, the good old days when trust was something you had to earn and prove.
Arrogant, Condescending, Dismissive, Elitist, "Meany", you speak as if these are bad things? |
in the end i could not find any etsabilished 0.0 corp that would have accepted me without full/email api. i just give up and stop paying sub after one month. and this is anyway pointless because a proper infiltration is done with new account, bought character , jettison stuff etc. i am not blaming the corps that asks but the players who accept it. anyway, i am killing my time with star trek online while waiting for star citizen and elite dangerous alphas |
just ignore corp that wants to read your email. those who want to spy have another account so corp is just BS with you when req full api. |
Reading this, I can't understand why anyone would want to go through this game.
It wasn't allways this way. The first 5 or 6 years in EvE Online were actually quiet a good ride. |

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I like it
ok so this was something differant, i really like the {GREEN} of the main character, and with all the nice little {DETAILS} like in the backround stars and other elements, the {HORNS} were specially nice, so what could we improve on this piece? im thinking you have too much {DARKNESS} to everything and you could {SHINE} up things with some glow and shine and more lighting effects, like maybe the tip of the horns, and that element above the character, and even a glowing {STEW} would be nice, so other then that it was a nice art piece and i really enjoyed seeing this, and hope to see more soon.
Try and improve on the little effects like lighting shines and glows, and a little less darkness
thank you , Im in a powerstruggle when I lay out the values -as can be seen on "goodbye bill" pieace , although no color. I find this helpful that people point this out , yet still see something in my pictures.
thank you.

I have been having severe pain and migraines for years, I tried different medications and I only became worse. I also had adverse reaction from the medication. Medical doctors were not able to help me get better. I started acupuncture at Integral acupuncture and after three treatments, I felt amazing!! I have been sending all of my friends and family to Integral Acupuncture. The office staff was very friendly and helpful and I truly felt at home. I look forward to my acupuncture treatments on a weekly basis. I seem to have more energy and also I'm more relaxed! It's great that they accept insurance also. I will keep on coming even if my insurance will no longer pay. It's priceless!!!

I was ready to be operated on my back. This was the last thing to try and that was over a year ago. She not only has helped my back so that I have not had to be operated on but I don't even take an aspirin. She is very thorough each time you go into her office and the office is immaculate, which is a good indication as to the type of person she is. I have recommended her a number of times and everyone has been very satisfied. Her relaxing approach has not only helped my back but she has gotten into so many other things that have helped my overall health and it all just comes naturally for her. It is obvious she enjoys helping people. I highly recommend giving her a try.

Continue reading»Last summer, as the Arab Spring protests in Libya and Egypt were in full swing, a sector of the literary world was abuzz with hopes about Arabic literature. Words Without Borders, a literary magazine with an international focus, dedicated two issues to the literature coming out of the turbulence. The Moroccan novelist Ben Taher Jelloun, who published a collection of essays about the Arab Spring, predicted that there would be a creative boom in the countries whose citizens now enjoyed greater freedom.
So it's both surprising and fitting that an author from Syria, a country where the protests haven't been successful, has written the gem of the Arabic literature of dissent. Fadi Azzam, a journalist who has been exiled in Dubai since 2001, has published a book "Sarmada," which is in the running for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction.
Azzam's book is ambitious for a début novel, and it wasn't shocking to learn that his editor and mentor was one of the most celebrated Syrian novelists in exile, Rafik Schami. Last year, Schami was looking for a novel for Swallow Editions, a new literary series devoted to publishing Arabic-language novels by young writers and translating them into English. Schami's books are banned in Syria, and he wanted to build a literary platform that would completely circumvent the Arab publishing world, which he believes is overly influenced by the government and oil sheiks, and is full of publishers that "have never heard of an author's dignity." His motto for the series would eventually become "free of oil, tedium, and dictatorship."
The story of "Sarmada" traces the lives of three Druze women living in an isolated town in the Syrian hills—not, at first glance, the stuff of political literature. The book isn't narrowly political and doesn't paint a portrait of the uprisings themselves. Instead, it gives us something much more valuable: a detailed view of the entire mechanism of a culture—its connection to the land, its way of telling stories, and its idiosyncrasies.
