When I hear the words "grab bag," I think about stores that used to stock plain wrapped packages labeled as either for "boys" or "girls." For a dollar, you could choose one of these packages without knowing what it contained. While the value of the items inside the bags were all approximately the same, the appeal of the grab bag was the hope that your selected package contained some extra special toy – something you'd really like to have. Like a sweepstakes, it was this sense of risk and anticipation that made grab bags so popular.
"Grab bags" have been defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as a bag that holds many small gifts and that you reach into in order to pull one out without knowing what it is. But more recently, grab bags have taken on a new definition under some state laws: illegal gambling.
The grab bags that I remember as a child and which I still see occasionally in stores likely do not violate any state illegal gambling statues, primarily because the items in those grab bags all had approximately the same value. For that reason, there is only a very small risk of violating state gambling laws. All the prizes have about the same value and therefore there is no chance of winning a prize that was worth more than what you paid to select it from the bag. Although there is a prize and consideration, without the element of chance, the criteria required for finding illegal gambling is not present.
Nevertheless, there are situations in which a grab bag program could violate a state's gambling statute. One scenario that might raise concerns would be if the prizes had significantly different values. The element of chance may then be present— along with prize and consideration.
For example, if a bakery decides to put a diamond ring in one of 500 identical cakes made for a promotion, that promotion could be viewed in many states as a grab bag that is illegal gambling. To avoid a finding of illegal gambling, the bakery would have to allow the public to have a chance to win the ring without buying a cake – by an alternate means of entry (AMOE). This is usually accomplished by creating code cards or scratch-off type cards, distributing them with the product (instead of the ring), and also making the cards available to persons who do not wish to buy a cake by giving them the option to request a card by mail.
Similarly, grab bags are sometimes used to sell trading cards by randomly placing more valuable cards in packs of cards containing more routine or less valuable selections. This practice could potentially raise issues of illegal gambling that may be more difficult to overcome through the use of mail-in entries or other alternative methods of entry.
This may be particularly true in California which has enacted a state law that prevents such grab bag sales. The law addresses a scheme to distribute sports trading cards by chance in which the purchasers pay for the cards with the understanding that they have a chance to win a prize listed by the seller as being contained in one or more (but not all) of the grab bags offered for sale. Under the California statute (California Penal Code Section 319.3), this scheme is an illegal lottery.
If you plan to use a grab bag type method for selling your products, you should contact a lawyer who is familiar with sweepstakes and grab bags before it is implemented.

Cyclone 'Thane' and the Pulicat boat tragedy have turned the spotlight on their lives
They are the bridge between those living in the hinterland and the sea. They are also the first to be hit in the event of a cyclone. Their contribution is in the form of the protein-rich food that they supply to the society. Yet, the fishing community is left to live on the fringes.
It is not an exaggeration when some historians say the origins of the city lie in its fishing villages. They are a cult and a breed apart when portrayed in films as the aggressive, adventure-loving, colourful people with a zest for life. Starting from Nallathanniodaikuppam near Ennore in Tiruvallur district to Nainarkuppam near Uthandi in Kancheepuram district there are over 70 fishing hamlets in the three districts.
Two recent incidents have turned the spotlight on the lives of fishermen in the city– severe cyclonic storm 'Thane' and the Pulicat boat tragedy. Fisherfolk, who were evacuated during the cyclone, are still returning to their homes after the severe storm.
"Though the sea is still rough, many who have sat at home for three months now are venturing into the sea. This is the season for vanjaram fish. We catch it mostly at night," says L.Velan, who hails from Tiruvottiyurkuppam. This is the beginning of the season for fish including vanjaram, kaanankelathi, vavvaal and sheila, which will go on till September.
Many caught in debt trap
Once the season for fishing that spans nine months begins, fishing hamlets are a beehive of activity. The nets get repaired and the boats are spruced up thanks to loans taken from money lenders and relatives. But, many fishermen are caught in a debt trap as they have no means of borrowing from banks or other institutions, says Anjappan of KVK Kuppam in Tiruvottiyur.
"The boats have remained tied up and would have been hitting against the wharf. Even catamarans require repair. But unlike others, we cannot get bank loans as we do not have anything to offer as collateral security. Many fishermen take loans from money lenders by pledging jewels and are caught in debt traps," he explains.
Not everyone in the fishing village would have boats. Only about 30 per cent would have FRP boats, 5 per cent would have bigger boats that can go into deep sea and almost 60 per cent would have traditional catamarans.
Their instincts and native wisdom guide them on the seas. "We fish during night or early morning. If the catch is good we go to the sea even twice a day. We wait for up to three hours after casting the net to catch fish. Earlier, we used to have conventional torches. However, we have now shifted to using rechargeable lanterns," says T. Joseph, a fisherman of Nettukuppam, who also works elsewhere in the city.
Though educated and on a permanent job, he still makes time to go fishing. "It is my traditional craft. How can I not go fishing… However, there are youngsters in my village, who have never been to the sea and we even have some who are software engineers. Many do not want their children to take up our traditional craft," he explains.
Poor catch
The reason for the shift in jobs is linked to the "poor catch that the sea is offering". "Post-tsunami there is a change in the sea. The rivers are polluted and so the fish do not enter the estuaries to hatch eggs. There are many units letting out hot water and salt into the sea as in Pulicat, which spoils the catch," say fisher folk.
Blaming the poor catch on the 2004-tsunami many fisher folk are taking up jobs as daily labourers or work in companies when the fishing business is dull. Children in several families are getting educated unlike the past. Women, who form the backbone of the fishing business, are taking up jobs elsewhere instead of fish sales.
A veteran in the community Manoharan who has seen more lows than highs since the time he started fishing 60 years ago is however clueless about the price of the fish. "Women handle all that. They decide at what rates the fish is to be sold. Now only the older women take the stock to the fishing markets. The younger ones take up domestic labour or work in nearby companies," he says.
Women like S. Sambodhi (65) travel to Kasimedu market every day at 3 a.m. to get the best catch. "As the day advances, we buy ice to keep the fish fresh. We shell out more on autorickshaws as buses do not allow baskets with fish. What we buy for Rs.1,500 might be sold for Rs.2,200 or even Rs.800. The remaining fish is brought home, salted and dried to be sold later," she says.
Post-tsunami the villages got more boats and nets. However, other amenities such as garbage clearance, sewage, proper roads, streetlights, and water connections have not improved. Many do not even have proper places to dry fish and if rocks have been placed to prevent sea erosion, there is hardly enough space to park the boats.
The Kasimedu fishing harbour is used mostly by those having big boats and those living in the vicinity. Even the harbour is in need of repairs. The government has announced some improvement plans for Kasimedu, say fishermen.
The sandy beach behind the fishing hamlets is where the boats are parked, the fish is dried and the youngsters play kabaddi.
"Our lives are not that drab. The younger lot watches movies. Many of us have TV sets, lights, fans at home. In the evenings we play kabaddi, volleyball and cricket. We have kabaddi tournaments in March when people from villages even as far as Cuddalore participate," says Lynal Rajamanikam of Thalangkuppam.

Students Federation of India State Secretary P. Lakshmaiah on Wednesday urged the State Government to immediately intervene and save the academic year of students hit by the ongoing stir for Samaikyandhra.
Addressing the SFI Prakasam district Committee meeting here presided by SFI District Vice-President T. Mahesh, he said it was the students belonging to the weaker sections who were hit hard by the strike by teachers of State-run schools. The students should gear up for agitation to put pressure on the government, which remained a mute spectator to the stir for the last 50 days, he said.
He wanted the government to relax the condition making seeding of the Aadhaar card mantdatory for scholarship to students as many of them had not got it yet. Only those applications with BSNL phone numbers were getting accepted during online processing of applications for scholarship, SFI District Secretary B. Raghuram complained.

Josh Romney is tired.
For most of the last four months, he has lived in a Winnebago — dubbed the Mitt Mobile — stopping at least once in every one of Iowa's 99 counties, campaigning on behalf of his father, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
Now he can rest — for a while. Romney pere won the crucial Iowa Straw Poll this weekend, and the Mitt Mobile is temporarily idle, parked next to a hotel in Ames. Josh can take a day off, maybe two. But soon, he will be back in the super-sized camper, and off to Nevada, or maybe Florida, or perhaps, New Hampshire. And so it will go for at least the next six months, and maybe the next 15 months.
Josh, 31, is one of Romney's five sons, four of whom are regularly out on the campaign trail. For Romney, family isn't just a campaign theme — it is a campaign strategy.
When Romney stresses "the family" as one leg in the three-legged stool that is his analogy for his main campaign themes (the other legs are the military and the economy), he can back it up by producing his own nuclear family, including his adult sons and Ann Romney, his wife of 38 years.
It is a none-too-subtle contrast to the two Republican frontrunners, Sen. John McCain and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, both of whom are divorcees. Giuliani's children do not campaign with him.
For the Romney brothers, it means a lot of time on the road away from home, friends, and often family.
"It's not easy, but it's well worth it," said Craig Romney, 26, who lives in New York City. "I'm willing to do whatever I can to help get my dad elected."
"I tried to convince them not to do it," Mitt Romney told me during a campaign stop in Hampton, Iowa. "I said, 'you've got your lives, you've got your families.' They said, 'Dad, you're running for president of the United States. We want to help you. We want to be part of it.' It's a very moving thing, very humbling."
Two other sons, Tagg, 37, and Matt, 35, are also frequently campaigning on the road. Tagg is a top campaign advisor in the campaign's Boston headquarters. He is said to wield a lot of influence with his father, especially when it comes to the delicate task of convincing him to do or say something differently.
"I get to be the bearer of bad news sometimes to my dad," he said. "Sometimes, he'll listen and say that's a good idea.Sometimes, he'll say, 'I don't quite agree with that.'"
Ben Romney, a medical student in the Boston area, campaigns infrequently because of school. He did fly in to Iowa for the Ames Straw Poll on Aug. 11, a rare reunion of the entire clan. In fact, with five brothers spread across the map, they say the campaign has actually brought them together more often.
"We get together now as a family more than we did before," said Matt, a commercial real estate developer in San Diego. "So, honestly, it's a lot of fun to get together and share this experience."
It isn't all fun. The high profile of the Romney sons may have prompted some biting questions at several "Ask Mitt Anything" campaign stops in Iowa. Three times in three days, Romney, who supports the war in Iraq, was asked why his own children never joined the military.

Variable-Speed Scanning of Recorded Magnetic Tapes
A device for critical examination of recorded data on moving or stationary magnetic tapes by means of variable-speed rotating magnetic reproduce-head assemblies is described. Several types of interchangeable assemblies, both single- and dual-track, are discussed, together with certain operative phenomena peculiar to each. Problems arising from the use of variable-speed scanning as a means of analyzing recorded analog data are illustrated. The effect of rotating-head design on wow and flutter is described in detail, as well as the ability of current magnetic tapes to withstand physically high-speed scanning for prolonged periods of time. Although the system was designed primarily as a tool to aid in the development of data-recording devices relative to the field of sonar, its application to other fields of scientific research is discussed.

Please donate to support OMA and CrewRKTablets firmware work, thank you !
Hi - my wife will be the proud owner of a 10 G2 this Christmas (hopefully), and I've already had a play with it and it looks pretty good value for money.
The only problem I've got is the not being able to charge via micro-USB cable, which I've got used to. Does anyone know whether spare chargers can be bought from anywhere, or if any other chargers for other devices are compatible? I've had a mooch around the internet, and I can't see any answers to this questions, so any advice would be appreciated.
For reference, the charger connection I've got is about the same size as the old Nokia chargers (not the newer thin ones, but the old fat ones).
The Arnova 10 G2 does not charge via the micro USB connection, you need to use a charger thru the power connector. The power charger is the same as the Arnova 10 (first generation) or some Archos Gen8 like Archos 70 IT or Archos 101 IT.
See here for the charger pictures and specs for the Arnova 10 (G1):
You can buy the charger from Archos or probably other compatible equipements
See "Adapter 5V 2A with 3 plugs" here:
If you like our web site, applications and firmwares, feel free to support our site. Donations are used to pay the bills for our server hosting costs, development tools and purchase new tablets to support.
To Admin', just a comment about the charger for the 10g2.
First the twin flat cable gets in such a mess,can you change
that in the future for the round cable? (as supplied with Nokia
chargers,they got it right.)
Secondly the plug does not fit wholely into the socket on the 10g2 ??
I hope no one is thinking of using a Nokia 'phone charger for 10g2 tablet,
although it is a 5 volt dc it can only supply 100ma of current, unlike the
the required 2 AMPs for the 10g2.
Lastly I would like to suggest that File-Expert has the edge over Astro,
for file managers, personal choice.

Friends Alum David Schwimmer Plots Return to TV in ABC Pilot Irreversible
January 31st, 2014
by Natalie Abrams
David Schwimmer
Friends alum David Schwimmer is eyeing a return to television in ABC's comedy pilot Irreversible, TVGuide.com has learned.
Based on an Israeli format, the comedy centers on an eccentric, self-absorbed couple and the trials and tribulations they often bring upon themselves. Schwimmer will play one half of that couple, a pessimistic writer named Andy.
Best known for playing Ross Gellar on NBC's Friends, Schwimmer has guest-starred on 30 Rock and Web Therapy, in addition to lending his voice to the Madagascar franchise. If Irreversible is picked up to series, this would make his first series regular role since Friends.
The actor will also serve as a producer on the comedy, written by Segahl Avin, co-creator of the original series, Bilti Hafich. Rescue Me's Peter Tolan and Michael Wimer will executive-produce.
Are you excited Schwimmer may soon return to TV?

I would be grateful if you could tell me anymore about the academies / club . set-up.
As far as I am aware: The club Andres Gimeno itself runs a coaching programme (which in Spain is generally called an Academy!!! It's all the rage out there!!!) with it's own coaching team and 'Elitennis' run by Enrique Guldberg rents 4 courts to run it's own Academy from the club. Elite is the full time academy and currently has about 9 full time players, about 4 from the UK, and others from Spain, Holland, Ukraine and somewhere else (I forget where!).
Elite also do holiday, weekly, monthly, termly academy packages. However, whilst I was there, Elite academy caters for junior players only.
Club de Gimeno however, have coaching clinics and classes for all ages and the standard I saw from the club players was pretty high - some good clay court tennis!!! You'd best contact the club for full details.
There is a nice hotel opposite the club called Hotel Barcelona Classic and it's only a 10 minute walk to the beach at Casteldefelles, which is stunning!!!
I wont take out a restraining order just yet!!!

Use this shoe for work. It is a light shoe, not heavy weight. The leather is a cheaper and thinner feel. It is a nice shoe for the summer, however, it runs small. I would take one size larger,but would want to try a half larger first.

WARRENSBURG - After a half-dozen years under one administrative team, there's been a change of the guard at the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce.
Lynn Smith and Dennis Martinez, chamber president and vice president respectively for six years, have stepped down.
The two left office primarily because of term limits imposed by the organization's bylaws. Smith and Martinez were directors for three consecutive three-year terms, the maximum allowed.
Taking their place are Cheryl Kenyon, president and Shawn Dempsey, first vice president. Also elected as officers were Daniel West, treasurer, Deborah Baker, second vice president; and Faith Buck, secretary.
Monday, Smith said she'd enjoyed her busy, lengthy tenure, including her supervision of the nationally-recognized World's Largest Garage Sale.
"It was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun too," she said. "I learned a lot about dealing with personnel issues and various personalities."
Under her regime, the chamber expanded the office staffing to two part-timers, so it now is covered daily. Now, in inquiries for local information can be answered promptly throughout the year. Smith also noted that during her reign, a walking map of Warrensburg was created.
Martinez said he also enjoyed his years as vice president.
"It was fulfilling to do things that help the community as a volunteer - everyone benefits," he said.
Martinez recalled recent chamber accomplishments including landscaping the local Senior Center that houses the chamber offices, and re-establishing the Warrensburg Citizen of the Year award, which honors community volunteers. Also, holiday decorations of the town have been expanded, and the chamber made a significant donation to Richards Library's expansion campaign, Martinez said.
Martinez' and Smith's tenure had its formidable challenges.
In recent years, the chamber's income from the World's Largest Garage Sale has dwindled as more and more vendors have moved from chamber sites to private property.

The Flanders region
In the surrounding area of Bruges, you have medieval cities like Gent, Damme, Brussels and Antwerp.
You can easily make a daytrip to Ypres (only 70 km away) and to the Ypres Salient.
Bruges itself is only 12 km away from the nice Belgian coastline
Bruges is also know as the 'Venice of the Noth', this is beacuse you can make canal trips on the local boats just like in Venice. You can visit this magnificent medieval town on foot or by bike (there is very cheap cycle hire).
There are lots of cosy restaurants, pubs and bars. I would recommend visting: the belfry, gothic churches and architecture and the town's museums. You can visit Bruges in every season. Cycle hire is cheap and a superb way of touring around the area.

Colgin IX Estate Syrah 2009
Syrah/Shiraz from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
The fragrance from the 2009 IX Estate Syrah upon release is remarkably expressive. This wine possesses a beautiful orange blossom lift that makes it incredibly inviting and seductive. The more I delve into the wine, the more savory it becomes. The salty Parma ham, grilled duck breast and dark chocolate that come through on the nose are so tempting. On the palate, that savory quality continues with mouthwatering tannins. They have a fine grained quality to their structure, buttressed by lovely acidity. The orange blossom from the nose, turns to a lingering marmalade aroma on the finish. Overall, this vintage of IX Estate Syrah is full of inviting qualities, making it seem almost precocious, but the unctuous and suave texture of the tannin confirm that this is a wine built to last.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "A brilliant expression of dense, rich layers of spice, beef, wild berry, savory and herbal notes, offering intensity, focus, grace and finesse. Should evolve beautifully over the next decade or two. Drink now through 2030."
The Wine Advocate - "I could have sworn the 2009 IX Estate Syrah had some Viognier in it, but all of these wines are 100% Syrah. Flowery, peppery, blackberry and bacon aromas reminiscent of a Cote Rotie jump from the glass. However, once in the mouth, the masculinity, power, awesome richness and incredible texture come forward. This killer Syrah should drink well for 20 or more years."
International Wine Cellar - "Saturated medium ruby. Musky nose combines dark berries, crushed rock, game, violet, espresso and tangerine rind. Fresh but youthfully tight and primary, and currently dominated by its structure. The intriguing citrus quality follows through in the mouth, where it perks up the dark fruit, licorice and tar flavors. Finishes classically dry and firmly tannic, with a lightly saline character.
Rating: 93(+?)"

About Napa Valley
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

'Affluenza' defense gets Ethan Couch no prison time in fatal crash
Outrage nationwide continues to grow after a 16-year-old Texas teenager was spared prison time after killing four people in a drunk driving crash, citing "affluenza" as the reason he was given rehab and probation instead.
Ethan Couch gets no jail time, probation in fatal drunk driving crash
Despite the push for a 20-year prison sentence for a Texas teenager who killed four people in a drunk driving crash, family members are horrified that he got just 10 years of probation after a judge decided that the teen believed that money bought people out of bad situations.

Iona gets overpowered by Ohio State 95-70
"It's like the first game of the season all over again," said Sean Armand, who had 17 points. "Everybody's a little excited, trying to do a little bit too much. We just had to get our heads together."
The Gaels aren't used to getting roughed up like that. They were second in the nation with 80.7 points per game and 15th nationally with 8.4 3-pointers per game. Ohio State brought their offense to a standstill.
They finally got their fast-break offense going and wiped away most of that 18-point deficit. Armand hit a 3-pointer - he set a school record for 3s this season - and a pair of free throws during a 13-3 spurt that cut it to 37-33. Ohio State ended the comeback with the game's most sensational play, Thompson reached behind his body with his right arm to snag Scott's alley-oop pass for a dunk.
"An alley-oop is a great team play," Thompson said. "It shows two guys on the same page offensively. Shannon did such a great job getting into the teeth of the defense, having the defense collapse, and just letting me do the easy part and finishing it.
"It really gives our team a boost offensively and defensively and definitely gives the other team something to think about."
Up 43-33 at halftime, Ohio State went on a nine-point run behind Thomas and Thompson for a 19-point lead that would never be seriously threatened.

One went to the door of the Beloved and knocked.
A voice asked, "Who is there?"
He answered, "It is I."
The voice said, "There is no room for Me and Thee."
The door was shut.
After a year of solitude and deprivation he returned and knocked.
A voice from within asked, "Who is there?"
The man said, "It is Thee."
The door was opened for him.
Jalal Al Din Rumi (1207)
Nothing is hidden from him who overcomes himself. Into the cause of causes shalt thou penetrate, and lifting, one after another, every veil of illusion, shalt reach at last the inmost Heart of Being. Thus becoming one with Life, thou shalt know all life, and, seeing into causes, and knowing realities, thou shalt be no more anxious about thyself, and others, and the world, but shalt see that all things that are, are engines of the Great Law. James Allen (1864)
Light is the shadow of God. Plato (427 B.C.E.)
I who cannot be fit into universes upon universes, fit into the heart of the sincere believer. Muhammed (570)
I will give you one heart and a new spirit; I will take from you your hearts of stone and give you tender hearts of love for God. Ezekiel - Old Testament (571 B.C.E.)
You come and go. The doors swing closed
ever more gently, almost without a shudder.
Of all who move through the quiet houses,
you are the quietest.
We become so accustomed to you,
we no longer look up
when your shadow falls over the book we are reading
and makes it glow. For all things
sing you: at times
we just hear them more clearly.
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875)
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him. St. Paul (10)
Truth is one; the sages call it by many names. Hindu Saying
Then he realized, I indeed, I am this creation, for I have poured it forth from myself. In that way he became this creation. Verily, he who knows this becomes in this creation a creator. Upanishads (800 B.C.E.)
Oh how the spell before my sight brings nature's hidden ways to light. See! All things with each other blending, each to each its being lending, all on each in turn depending, heavenly ministers descending, and again to heaven ascending, floating, mingling, interweaving. . . . Can heart of man embrace Illimitable Nature? Goethe (1749)
The mystics of all traditions speak one and the same language: the language of religious experience. Brother David Steindle-Rast (1926)
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time; it is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset. Crowfoot, Chief Of The Siksika First Nation (1830)
The boundless sea has absorbed the river and its limited waters. Now the river shares in all that the sea has. The sea carries the river along; the river cannot carry itself along. The river has become one with the sea. No, the river does not have all the qualities of the sea, but it is, nonetheless, in the sea. Jeanne Guyon (1647)
When you know that you are eternal you can play your true role in time. When you know you are divine you can become completely human. When you know you are one with God you are free to become absolutely yourself, individual and holy and my child. Dr. Maurice Nicoll (1884)
When the ocean surges,
don't let me just hear it.
Let it splash inside my chest!
Jalal Al Din Rumi (1207)
You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars, and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than so, because men are in it who are every one sole heirs as well as you. W. J. Turner (1889)
Allah possesses a drink which is reserved for his intimate friends. When they drink they become intoxicated, when they become intoxicated they become joyful, when they become joyful they become sweet, when they become sweet they begin to melt, when they begin to melt they become free, when they become free they seek, when they seek they find, when they find they arrive, when they arrive they join, and when they join, there is no difference between them and their Beloved. Ali Ibn Abu Talib (596)
Know to what extent the Creator has honored you above all the rest of creation. The sky is not an image of God, nor is the moon, nor the sun, nor the beauty of the stars, nor anything of what can be seen in creation. You alone have been made the image of the Reality that transcends all understanding, the likeness of imperishable beauty, the imprint of true divinity, the recipient of beatitude, the seal of the true light. When you turn to him you become that which he is himself . . . There is nothing so great among beings that it can be compared with your greatness. God is able to measure the whole heaven with his span. The earth and the sea are enclosed in the hollow of his hand. And although he is so great and holds all creation in the palm of his hand, you are able to hold him, he dwells in you and moves within you without constraint, for he has said, 'I will live and move among them'. Gregory Of Nissa (395 B.C.E.)
The eye by which I see God is the same as the eye by which God sees me. My eye and God's eye are one and the same. Meister Eckhart (1260)
Real "I" is the Messiah, for whom the creature is waiting. George Gurdjieff (1866)
An individual drop can be merged with the ocean, and still remain meaningful. He has found his "place." Fariduddin Attar (1120)
God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes but everybody who looks at it sees something different. Rabbi Harold Kushner (1935)
The central urge in every atom, to return to its divine source and origin. Walt Whitman (1819)
Whoever knows himself knows God. Muhammed (570)
The infinite seeks the intimate presence of the finite, the finite to disappear in the infinite. I do not know whose scheme this is, that the bound should be on a search for freedom, freedom asking to be housed in the bound. Rabindranath Tagore (1861)

German artist Simon Menner has a bundle of photos taken by East Germany's secret police during Cold War. Offering a glimpse into the small absurdities of life as a Communist spy, included are snap shots of suspicious household objects, agents modeling their "normal civilian" disguises, and West German spies who knew they were themselves being spied on, et cetera:
… Read the rest
East Germany, until it ceased to exist in 1989/90, had one of the most advanced surveillance system ever in operation, the Ministerium für Staatssicherheit (Department of State Security) or STASI. In terms of number of agents per capita it even outranked the Russian KGB by far.
Soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was decided that most of its archive should be made accessible to the public and for historic research. Even though the access is restricted, this was very much in contrast to what most of the other nations of the former Eastern Block did.

Capitol PestRead MoreSince 1936, the exterminators at Capitol Pest have proven their expertise to customers time and time again. But partial credit for their success must go to Dr. Russell Travers, the on-staff entomologist (insect expert) who chimes in when particularly tricky pest infestations threaten homes. Many pests are easy enough to treat without his help, though, such as common ants, ticks, stinkbugs, and termites. Some treatments, such as termite baiting use eco-friendly techniques?in this case, a lethal but EPA-approved termite bait set in soil around the home and inside its structure that spreads quickly throughout the entire colony. Bed bugs, on the other hand, quickly succumb to an insecticide that reaches inside every mattress and piece of furniture, making it impossible for the blood suckers to get a good night's sleep. A similar fate awaits rats and mice when the exterminators employ their anti-rodent program, setting traps and baits where rodents are active within the home and providing a thorough inspection for rodent entry points. After an estimate is provided, the staff is capable of sealing any necessary areas, be it, screening a vent, installing door sweeps, or replacing bricks, wood trim, or using concrete.5455 Butler RdBethesda, MD US

2011: Interesting (gulp!) Times
Friday - 12/31/2010, 4:00am EST
A scholarly colleague reminded me that the old Chinese saying: May You Live In Interesting Times! is actually, according to her, a curse. Like World War 2 was interesting. So were the gasoline shortages of the 1970s, or the pending federal pay freeze.
Interesting, yes; fun, not so much.
So if you are working today, the last day of the year and a holiday for many people, you must like your job and be dedicated to it. And if you are not working today, that's good too.
But whether you are on the job or readying to return from a short-winter break, stick with us and fasten your seat belts. As a federal worker, citizen, taxpayer and consumer the year 2011 promises to fall into the Interesting Times category. We'll be there with you.
Have a happy and safe new year and we hope 2011 is interesting, but not all that interesting if you get my drift!!!

Hitting the trails in the summer means figuring out a comfortable way to carry fluids. We had a fleet of trail runners in Boulder, Colorado put the latest hydration systems–from over-the-shoulder packs carrying up to two liters of liquid, to waist belts, to handheld bottles stashing a scant seven ounces–to the test.
Carrying fluids in the palm of your hand has gotten easier over the years, as comfortable, adjustable hand straps allow you to loosen your grip on the bottle. Of course, some just feel better than others.
Fuel Belt Dash 7 oz. Palm Holder, $10
This tiny handheld carries just seven ounces of fluid in the palm of your hand, via an adjustable strap. Two small pockets add minimal storage options. Fuelbelt.com
Pros: "This works for long runs in areas where you can stop for water frequently, or for really short runs when you just need a squirt of water now and then."
Cons: "The tiny pockets don't really carry anything beyond a key. The one with a Velcro closure is so small that if you were able to jam a quarter in there you might never get it out. The other has a zip closure that fits some pills or a some carefully folded money."
Editor's Pick: Amphipod Hydraform Thermal-Lite 12- or 20-ounce; $22-24
This handheld system features a contoured, 12-ounce ($22) or 20-ounce ($24) bottle covered in neoprene to keep fluids cool on hot days (or warm on freezing days), plus a small zippered pocket. Amphipod.com
Pros: "I love how it required no muscle tension in my hand to hold this thing; it has great
ergonomics. And the neoprene cover keeps liquid cool (and keeps ice-cold liquids from freezing your hand). Plus, the zippered pouch is easy to operate with one hand, and holds two gels easily."
Cons: "You have to use the bottle that comes with it, which is a good bottle, but you'd have to replace it if lost."
GoLite HydroClutch, $15
A 15-ounce bottle is carried via mesh bottle holder with a zippered, stretchy mesh pocket. Reflective strap adds nighttime safety. Golite.com
Pros: "The Lycra fabric of the strap is stretchy and held the water bottle firmly in place. Felt good to the touch when my hands got sweaty. And the pocket to stash my keys and gel is placed well."
Cons: "I hated the adjustable Velcro strap, as it bit into the outside of my hand and rubbed annoyingly."
Asics Long Haul Handheld Water Bottle, $18
This system carries a 20-ounce bottle with an adjustable strap, and has a zippered storage pocket. Asicsamerica.com
Pros: "The zippered pouch is easy to operate with one hand. The cap was leak-proof and opens and closes easily with my teeth. I loved the Velcro tension strap, and it's reasonably easy to remove and replace the bottle."
Cons: "This required slight grip tension to hold, unlike the Amphipod. And there's no neoprene cover. Plus, I think the zippered pouch is too narrow."
Hydrate on the Run
We tested the latest in hydration systems, from tiny handheld water bottles to mega over-the-shoulder packs that carry two liters of water and all your gear.
Hitting the trails in the summer means figuring out a comfortable way to carry fluids.

Port St. Lucie man accused of hitting wife after night out with her mistress
PORT ST. LUCIE - A 44-year-old man accused of hitting his wife Wednesday morning after she admitted being out with another woman with whom she's having an affair is facing a battery charge, a police report states.
The 37-year-old victim told investigators she got home about 12:30 a.m. and went to take a shower when her husband, Alex Adorno, came to the bathroom.
Adorno, of the 1200 block of Southeast McFarlane Avenue, "asked her if she had been out with the girl she has been having an affair with and she said yes,"the report states.
He allegedly got mad and choked her. He also allegedly turned the water off, hit her in the head and threw the bottles in the shower on her.
The victim said it's the second time Adorno struck her. She said she didn't call police the first time "because she is the one having the affair," the report states.
Adorno said his wife has been having an affair with another woman for about three months and he doesn't know what to do. He said he "lost it" after she returned home and admitted being out with her girlfriend.
The wife didn't want to press charges, but Adorno went to jail on a battery charge.

Women writing their experience of Partition make visible stories of loss, displacement and longing usually ignored in mainstream narratives.
In the early 1950s, Sunanda Sikdar's family left their village of Digpait in what became East Pakistan, to cross the border into India. In Dayamoyeer Katha, her charming and episodic memoir of the time, Sikdar describes how, as a child, she was so devastated at having to leave the people, the village, the land and the animals she loved, that she swore she would never speak about Digpait again. Decades later, when she married, the family's old Muslim retainer, known affectionately as Dada, borrowed money to travel to Kolkata for her wedding and so moved was she by this that the dams broke and she began to write.
As Sikdar's family was preparing to leave Digpait, many thousands of miles away, in Delhi, another woman, Anis Kidwai, was seeking to make meaning of her life. Widowed by the murder of her husband, Shafi Ahmed Kidwai in Mussoorie in the violence of Partition, Anis Kidwai came to Delhi and there she met Gandhi who advised her to stop crying and to do some work. Taking this to heart, Kidwai worked with abducted women and in the transit camps for Muslim refugees in Delhi. Her moving and intense memoir, Azadi ki Chaon Mein, written in 1949, was published only in 1974, partly because Kidwai herself was reluctant to put it into the public domain, fearing that the stories may lead to further violence.
Unique journeys
In Gujarat, another woman, Kamlaben Patel, had similar stories to tell in her hard-hitting memoir, Mool Sukete Ukhde (Torn from the Roots). Kamlaben worked with abducted women in Lahore between 1947 and 1952 and recorded their stories, their joys and sorrows. These formed the substance of her memoir, once again published long after it was written for fear of its likely consequences.
In West Pakistan, Shaista Ikramullah's memoir, From Purdah to Parliament, published in 1963, described the life of one of the best known parliamentarians in the post-Partition era, capturing the journey from India to Pakistan, from the Congress to the Muslim League and provided a unique insight into post Partition politics.
The 1980s saw the publication of an unusual autobiography, Munhinje Hayatia Ja Sona Ropa, by Popati Hiranandani, the eminent Sindhi poet and essayist whose life too was profoundly affected by the Partition.
Each account documented a unique journey, with Partition sometimes forming the backdrop and sometimes the substance of the story. Taken together, these and many other memoirs and autobiographies by women — including for example the accounts written by Mridula Sarabhai and Ashoka Gupta on Noakhali — direct the reader to the 'other' histories of Partition, those that do not form the substance of standard, conventional histories. They address loss and displacement, dislocation and violation, the longing for a home and yearning for a life gone by.
Shared themes
These are themes that get picked up also in fiction by women, written at the time, or years later, sometimes out of direct experience and at others out of the literary and narrative distillation of that experience. Writing on women's narratives of Partition, Ananya Jahanara Kabir quotes from the preface to Krishna Sobti's masterful work, Zindaginama in which the author evokes Punjab, the land and its rivers as a woman from whose breasts blood drips rather than milk, and offers a farewell.
Don't look
Just run
Just leave
These waters
This earth
To the water of waters
To the Punjab of five waters
To Jhelum's and Chenab's waters
To the memory of one's ancestors
The children of whose blood and milk
Will never again play
Never again play
With this earth
In whatever language you are reading — Urdu, Hindi, Gurmukhi, Bengali, Sindhi, English — works of fiction by women writers form a rich and varied archive and resource on Partition. Even a cursory glance yields an important line-up of names: Quratulain Hyder, Ismat Chughtai, Khadija and Hajra Mastoor, Mumtaz Shah Nawaz — writing in the shadow of ancestors like Nazr Sajjad Hyder and Muhammadi Begum; or others such as Amrita Pritam, Krishna Sobti, Attia Hossain, Nayantara Sahgal, Jyotirmoy Devi, Bapsi Sidhwa, Sarah Suleri, Zaheda Hina, Altaf Fatima.
In more recent times, a new and younger generation of writers has begun to explore the many facets of this important history — names like Kamila Shamsie, Uzma Aslam Khan, Shauna Singh Baldwin, Meera Syal come easily to mind. While the reference to Partition may not be as direct (except in the work of Shauna Singh Baldwin) as say in the works of Sobti and Amrita Pritam, the history is never absent and its long shadow looms over much of what happens in the contemporary world of Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in their own countries and outside.
Human dimension
In recent years, the work of women scholars has also helped to open up Partition histories by bringing in the human dimension of history and addressing issues such as sexual violation, forbidden love, physical dislocation, motherhood, questions of 'honour' and 'sacrifice' — subjects which until now have been taboo for historical research. Often based on oral narratives and testimonies, these works come very close to the sorts of issues that are raised by fiction writers, and indeed, fictional accounts strengthen and supplement the new historical research on Partition.
As often happens with women's writing, this rich seam has not been given its due, and with few exceptions, these works have remained somewhat outside the frame of mainstream fiction and non-fiction writings on Partition. And yet, they have important insights to offer — a child's view of the violence as in Bapsi Sidhwa's work, the closing off of Chinese trade as in Altaf Fatima's work, the memory of other migrations and other dislocations as in Zaheda Hina's work, the transformation of the inner courtyard as in Khadija Mastur's work. Perhaps the passage of time — we are, after all, well beyond six decades now — will ensure that these works of fiction, non-fiction, history, that throw light on the gendered dimensions of Partition history, will be given the importance they so well deserve.
