Nevenka brought to Melbourne Fashion Festival (VAMFF) the sort of old world glamour that you'd expect on a silver screen Goddess of bygone days; but that would just as well work on the cigarette-smoking, biker-boot wearing modern rocker girl. There was metallic lace; fur; some jewel studded pieces; and best of all the most rich burgundy velvet that I, frankly, can't wait to get my hands on.

This was a case of self defense! I beleive that in the state of colorodo there is a law called make my day, if anyone is on your property, or better yet intruding, you have the right to protect yourself and your family. thats what happened. This man is a community leader, not a murderer! You make him out to be some kind of terrorist, related to osama bin laden..what the hell is that. You put a bad name on mustafa! Check your information before you put it out to the public! This is outrageous.
#2 Jun 17, 2006
mustafa ujaama is no murderer, despite the conjecture or misnomers regarding this man and this case, let it be known he is a wonderful human being, loving father, devoted son, trusted friend, supporter of truth and justice, a humanitarian and a loyal friend, so please before you label this man, get the facts, all the facts, peace to you mustafa
#3 Jun 17, 2006
if you knew mustafa ujaama, then you know, you can not use the word murderer and his name in the same sentence. many many dua's with your name on them sheikh, much love, roger that!
#4 Jun 18, 2006
Ah it's just Bush with his mind games trying to mentally label all people with mustafa in their names. It's sad,really yet people lap this up.
#5 Jun 19, 2006
The man killed was shot seven times. He was unarmed, didn't even own a weapon. Why was his body put in the trunk of his car and hidden if this was self-dense?
#6 Jun 19, 2006
Interesting that you know he was shot 7 times. Where did you acertain this information? I merely ask as I'm a friend of the family and they have been given little info. Tim was a kind, generous, gentle soul with a loving family and host of friends. He did not deserve to die like this, nor does anyone else. God Bless Tim and his family.
#7 Jun 19, 2006
This was cold-blooded, setup, pre-meditated murder and this
&@#!*^ better fry!
#8 Jul 20, 2006
Tim was shot 15 times by this thug who calls himself mustafa, who has a slew of kids and illegal wives none of which he has ever supported, is a hipocrit and couldn't take it when his girl did what he did. He is a cold blooded killer. if he was a true muslam he would never have shot this man. I always thought mustafa/jon was a coward, now I know he is.
#9 Jul 20, 2006
I couldn't agree more
#10 Jul 23, 2006
you check out your information!, an inocent UNARMED man was murdered, in cold blood. your pal is no community leader he is a hypocrite who has used islam for his own twisted sick needs. As Malcolm X said that any one can make a slew of babies but to be a father a man has to support every child he sires both financially and emotionally, not just spit out kids by as many "wives" that would have him. It's no wonder islam has such a bad rap with people like mustafa spouting untruths and manipulating the teachings of the Koran to suit his fleshly desires. Y'all need to learn a little
#11 Aug 29, 2006
I personally know brother Mustafa, and he is a true Muslim, and just as all Americans has the right to defend his family in his home against,zionist invaders. he is as justified as the Muslims in Phillistine. They are vitims of terrorism, and illegal invasion under the Geneva Convention atricles. Mustafa did what any red blooded American would have done. protect himself and family from robbery, theif or even death.We Pray for his speedily release.Signs of the times.
#12 Aug 29, 2006
Cocerning marrying more than one wife. It is much better than fornicating,with as many as you like, but having one wife.Who knows you may just fornicate with the wrong person's wife, and pay in both worlds. Adultery is the third most grevious crime after, joining other in worship with the ONE ALLAH, then is premeditated murder, then adultery. Instead of talking about family matters , get to the real issue. Do we Americans have the right to protect our own families, in our homes? Yes! Yes! Yes!
#13 Sep 15, 2006
Bism'Allah wa Al Hamdulillah wa Al Salaatu Al Salaamu ala Rasulillah. As I do know Mustafa personally, I can only attest to this brothers positive attributes for two reasons. First and foremost, as a muslim, I, like every other muslim, is obligated by Allah to only speak with knowlege, and warned against rushes to judgement, as these hasty conclusions lead to at the least backbiting, and at the worst slander. There is absoloutly no benefit in rushing to judgement or revealing sins that may or may not have been committed, for as to my knowlege, this type of speech is permissible when circulated for the greater good (ie, forwarning of treachery, etc), but under the circumstances only smears mud w/o proofs, and doesn't benefit Mustafa, Tim, or anyone else. Ultimately the truth will surface, and judgement/reckoning is with Allah(SWT).
May Allah have mercy upon ad guide us all Amin.
#14 Dec 8, 2006
First of all, the guy that was shot was a great guy who didnt deserve to be killed. The only reason this man even came into Mustafa and his Girlfriends house is because Mustafa texted this man and said come to my house, he used his grilfrends phone to text this mesage, in which the girlfriend was leading this man on! therefore its ALL MUSTAFA is a MURDER...he planned everything out!
#15 Dec 8, 2006
Wait until the trial and then check your information
#16 Dec 8, 2006
We Agree...God Bless you! Mustafa was in a jelous Rage....he deserves the death penalty
#17 Dec 8, 2006
In one of the speeches Mustafa gave in the defense of his brother, he stated that "Destruction can never be good," "Evil plus evil will always equate to evil." Then why did he kill an Innocent guy? Isnt that destruction? Isnt that Evil? Does he practice what he preaches??????
Vicenza, Italy
#18 Dec 12, 2006
Do YOU REAllY KNOW MUSTAFA?
After reading the posts, I ask this question. I do not know Mustafa. I do know that Mustafa did NOT kill an intruder. He killed an unarmed man who was not an intruder! Intruders are not invited into to people's homes! Do not make statements about TRUTH when you do not know the truth. Did you sit in on the pre-trial? Have you listened to the facts? This man, Mustafa, has killed an innocent man. I do not care whether he was Muslim or Christian. I do not care how many children he has. He is guilty of MURDER! If you want to know what Mustafa did, go to the trial. It will make your stomach turn! Come and see what he did to an innocent person. This is NOT a case of an innocent man shooting an intruder. THINK AGAIN! Then we can talk about what kind of person Mustafa really is!
United States
#19 Dec 31, 2006
I grew up in the same area as Tim & can say he was a good person. He did not deserve to die like this. Mustafa & people like him hide behind there religion. I hope the son of a bitch is sodomized in prison And then gave the electric chair. Tim I think of you often
#20 Dec 31, 2006
Mustafa is a patient of mine and i like the money. Let him run free.

He also attended the Christchurch College of Education (currently, University of Canterbury), qualifying as a teacher. After completing his education, Rowling taught at several schools around the country, including at Motueka, Christchurch, Waverley and in Northland. In 1958, Rowling left teaching and joined the New Zealand Army, becoming Assistant Director of Army Education. He spent a short amount of time serving abroad in Malaysia and Singapore, a deployment connected with the Malayan Emergency.[1]
Member of Parliament[edit]
|New Zealand Parliament
In the 1960 election, Rowling was selected as the Labour Party's candidate for the Fendalton electorate in Christchurch. Fendalton was regarded as a safe National seat, and Rowling was defeated by the National Party's Harry Lake (who was appointed Minister of Finance in the new National government). Two years later, however, Rowling successfully contested the by-election for Buller, which had been caused by the death of prominent Labour MP Jerry Skinner. Rowling was to hold this seat until the election of 1972, when the seat was dissolved – Rowling then contested successfully the new seat of Tasman, which intriguingly he did travelling up and down the electorate by Commer campervan, which he lived in for the time.
Cabinet Minister[edit]
When the Labour Party won power under Norman Kirk in the 1972 election, Rowling was appointed Minister of Finance. This could be seen as a considerable promotion for someone without prior ministerial experience. Rowling's term as Minister of Finance was somewhat turbulent, with a number of formidable economic challenges arising during his tenure such as the 1973 oil crisis.
Prime Minister[edit]
When Norman Kirk died unexpectedly in 1974, Hugh Watt, served as acting prime minister for several days while the Labour Party chose a new leader. Rowling, was the front-runner to replace Kirk, However, the party National Executive and the Federation of Labour preferred Kirk's deputy Hugh Watt.[2]
Rowling was officially confirmed as party leader and 30th Prime Minister on 6 September 1974[3] taking the role of Minister of Finance[4] He had the option of replacing Kirk in the safe Labour seat of Sydenham[5] but chose to remain in his (more marginal) home electorate of Tasman.
He was later appointed to the Privy Council.[6] Unlike the pro-life Kirk and Muldoon, Rowling was pro-choice.[citation needed]
As leader, Rowling was attacked by the opposition led by Robert Muldoon, and was generally characterised as being weak. His supporters denied this, saying he chose not to participate in the confrontational and aggressive politics that Muldoon favoured.
Leader of the Opposition[edit]
The 1975 election was a major defeat for the Labour Party. Labour also campaigned with the famous Citizens for Rowling – prominent New Zealanders who backed Rowling. The campaign was labelled as being elitist, and was generally regarded as having backfired on Rowling.[7]
During the late 1970s, Rowling alienated Maori by removing Matiu Rata, the party's effective and well-regarded Maori Affairs spokesman, from the Opposition front bench. Earlier, Rowling had replaced Rata with himself as convenor of Labour's Maori Affairs Committee. Mat Rata complained about the insensitivity of Labour's Maori policy[7] and went on to form his own party, Mana Motuhake, a precursor to the Māori Party.
His approach to the Moyle and O'Brien 'affairs' was regarded as heavy-handed and unnecessary in many circles. In regards to the 'Moyle affair', "it was Rowling who insisted that his close friend, Colin Moyle, must resign".[7] Large numbers protested at the 1977 Labour Party Conference; many in the LGBT community never forgave him.[8]
Rowling, however, managed to retain the party leadership, and gradually managed to improve public perceptions of him. In the 1978 and 1981 elections, Labour actually secured more votes than the National Party but failed to gain a majority of seats.
While Rowling had largely managed to undo his negative image, many people in the Labour Party nevertheless believed that it was time for a change. In 1983 Rowling was replaced as leader by the charismatic David Lange, who went on to defeat Muldoon in the 1984 election. Rowling retired from parliament at the same election.
Later life[edit]
After leaving politics, Rowling was appointed Ambassador to the United States, serving from 1985 to 1988. He held that position when the issue of nuclear weapons and ANZUS flared up between the United States and New Zealand, and he travelled extensively across the country explaining the policy.[9]
Later, after returning to New Zealand, Rowling became highly involved in a number of community organizations and trusts. He also played a prominent role at the Museum of New Zealand, and is considered to have been the "driving force" behind the eventual establishment of Te Papa.[1]
Honours that Rowling received include being made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in the 1983 Queen's Birthday Honours,[10] an honorary law doctorate from the University of Canterbury in 1987,[11] and being made a Commander in the Orde van Oranje – Nassau (Netherlands).[9]
Rowling died of cancer in Nelson on 31 October 1995.[9]

Where I Have Been and Where I am Going
Hey guys, this article is going to be much more personal than anything I've written in a very long time. I think you, the Smash community, deserve some honesty from me since I help keep the game entertaining, especially if any of you are my fans I do not want to keep you guessing. I am not writing a structured post like I usually do, but I will be writing more about how I feel at the moment when I start typing again. If it is confusing at any point then I apologize. All of this said, I am writing this post to let everyone know that I have not been attending events, tweeting, or speaking in streams is all because I am very depressed. I'll go into what I've been doing, what my plans are, and what you guys can expect from me in the next few paragraphs.
I have been thinking of speaking out about what is going on for me for a while. It's pretty difficult to do if you think people will not understand or tell you that you need to go to events instead of work through what's going on instead. I like attending smash events as they're fun and a lot of cool people go, but first and foremost I go to events to compete. If I lose, I feel quite bad since I always want to win. Not to mention the fact I couldn't really feel motivated to train or give it my all at the competition. The pain of losing feels a lot worse then something I want to handle right now. I think my efforts are better spent tackling challenges more appropriate to my mental state like losing weight through running and reading more, so I can keep my mind sharp and full of new ideas. I also really enjoy writing and helping others grow through that experience. However, just because I have not attended anything and have been withdrawn does not mean I have stopped taking care of myself, or do not wish to be productive anymore.
I have actually expanded my Smash knowledge and found a new thinking style that suits my evolving state of mind in this interim, so I plan on coming back very strong in Melee and perhaps Smash 4 if I like it. That is a pretty profound thing about hitting a real low is that you tend to really challenge your long-held views about people, life, and yourself and ideally grow as a person with new convictions. This is the type of thing that helps many people who suffer from some tragedy recover and go on to do incredible works in some way for those wondering if the phenomena might be related.
Despite my continual rate of improvement, I do not feel ready to attend Big House 4, Tipped Off 10, or TFC, which is in my backyard basically. I have made arrangements with the necessary TOs so they understand the situation, and I highly encourage anyone reading to attend such wonderful events. This is a great time to be playing smash after all! My next major tournament I will attend is Apex 2015 at the end of January next year. I hope to perform well at it and give both my fans and fans of smash alike a chance to see something new and specific to my own way of viewing the game and expressing myself.
Here are a few more things before I wrap this up. EG is sponsoring me, yes, and of course I want to attend events, so they can be well-represented in the smash scene. However, EG also understands my situation and is willing to work with me because that is a much better way to get me to fully feel connected to my employer and give my best effort for them. It is a business with a basic empathy principle I truly appreciate and I will be writing as hard as I can for them in the meantime, so they can get a good deal out of having me on their team. When my streaming equipment comes in, I will also stream more, so I can connect with smashers and bring content faster that way too. Lastly, I want to say something to all of the members of the community reading this: I would deeply value your patience. I am frustrated not competing too. I want to get back out there and show what I can do. However, that's not what is best for me right now though and waiting has been very fulfilling. I ask for patience on your part so that we can get through this rough patch more comfortably together and really enjoy Apex 2015 as a new year in many ways! Thank you.

Navigation isn't 100% Accurate
My Acura has one of the better navigation systems on the planet- although I much prefer driving the X3. :thumbup:
Whenever I'm driving on a highway to another highway the navigation always directs me to exit before the correct exit and make a 3 mile loop before feeding me back on the correct highway. I mistakenly followed the directions once and realized there is some odd quirk in this route I take quite often. It doesn't matter if I set the navigation system to Direct Route, Major Highways, or any other setting it still Always makes the same mistake.
There's a restaurant we go to that the Acura's navigation sends us in a 1/4 mile figure 8 instead of directing us directly there. GPS is never perfect and I'm amazed it works as well as it does. I haven't used our new X3's NAV enough to be able to comment, but know there will be inaccuracies .
So, don't do what Michael Scott in The Office famously did and drive into a pond because he refused to listen to Dwight and steadfastly followed the car's navigation instructions and didn't use common sense. :confused:

Today, I have a guest post running over at Empowered Spirit, a lovely blog published by Cathy New Chester. My essay explores how an 8-day power outage spurred (Cathy would say empowered!) me to make some changes in my life after the lights came back on.
Cathy and I grew up in the same small northern New Jersey town (where I again live). We knew each other only slightly in grade school (through mutual friends), better in high school when we shared many classes, and then, for a few decades, fell out of each other's circle.
About five years ago, Cathy and I were brought back together via class reunions, mutual friends, and her desire to make writing an integral part of her life. Conversations and emails followed, and while we talked about writing classes, programs, and options she might pursue, her life was already brimming over with career, family, and dealing with multiple sclerosis.
Challenged by time and budget, she simply got busy, making her writing vision happen when ever and how ever she could. Today, Cathy writes for several health websites, in addition to frequently posting inspirational pieces at her blog. More, I'm certain, will happen in her writing life.
I'm really proud of her progress, and honored that Cathy credits me for helping her get on the writing path; but really, she did that herself -- because she wanted to. Cathy recently asked me to be her first guest blogger, and I'm so pleased. There's something lovely -- Cathy would likely say empowering! -- when strands once undone early in life, knit themselves back later on.
I hope you'll hop over to her blog to read my post, and some of Cathy's too.
Tips, advice, and resources on the art, craft, and business of writing and the writing life, via personal experience, author interviews, guest bloggers, link round-ups, and more.

It sounds like Senator Craig is going to resign. What about William Jefferson of Louisiana?
Come on Pelosi – you and your "culture of corruption". You hypocrite – let us see your party do the right thing and demand Jefferson's resignation.
Jefferson actualy was asked to resign, but had refused to step down. In his case, the legal system should decide what should be done about his alleged wrongdoings. Now, speaking of Louisiana politicians that should follow Craig's lead….

Product Highlights
The iDC SYSTEM ZERO XL1 Follow-Focus for Nikon D7000 is an affordable and versatile follow-focus system designed to lend cinema-like focus control to your DSLR videos. The system's gearless design means that, unlike most other DSLR follow-focus units, this one doesn't require the purchase of dedicated gears to match each lens you use. An adjustable focus wheel attaches to one of seven dovetail slots on the sliding focusing plate, which in turn mounts to the dedicated base plate beneath the camera.
The base plate, designed expressly for the Nikon D7000, can use any standard quick-release assembly for mounting onto a rig or tripod. It also accommodates iDC's adapted Hoodman loupe or a Zacuto Z-Finder, if you need to use a larger viewfinder for even more precise focus. When not in use, the focusing wheel can be slid away from the lens and locked in place, or the combined baseplate/focusing plate/wheel can be removed as one piece (using an Allen wrench) for easy switching between video and stills shooting.
This XL1 version works with most wide to mid-range telephoto lenses (see Compatibility spec). For smaller prime and telephoto lenses, the Standard kit--with its shorter focusing plate--may be more suitable.

It seems to be a day for milestones and anniversaries so in keeping with RIM's 50 millionth BlackBerry sale it only seems apt to mention Sky is no longer a teenager...
The Murdockian broadcast monolith is 20 years old today, an age since it caused something of a stir on 5 February 1989 by offering customers four whole channels. That was double the number of terrestrial channels available at the time.
In fact, Sky actually suffered a rather shaky start with the service initially lambasted ("Why would we ever need that many channels" was a favourite at the time) and faced competition from BSB (British Satellite Broadcasting) with whom it eventually merged in November 1990.
By contrast today it has more than nine million subscribers in the UK and Ireland plus a further 3.8m indirectly through Virgin and Irish cable company UPC. A whopping 240 TV channels are also on offer (of hugely varying quality it must be said) and 90 digital radio channels on an all digital service with the option of time shifting technology and High Definition feeds.
Often criticised for being something of a monopoly (at least until Virgin - mostly - got its act together) and fiendishly capitalist (pay per view on top of already paying-to-view, short term individual deals to lure subscribers, etc) it remains the best TV delivery service in the UK - and by some distance. 20 years from now however, who knows?

Soaring guitars, raspy vocals, catchy hard rock tunes, black leather, studs, and flying V's…rising Australian rocker Laura Wilde brings all the elements of a great rock show in direct support of Ted Nugent during the 2012 Great White Buffalo Tour.
Photographer Notes:
Shooting the artist was restricted to a quick first 3 songs from the pit. A high stage, large monitors, and a singer/guitarist is always a challenge for creative angles as they must spend most of their time in close proximity to their mic. Fixed stage lighting and levels was easily managed with exposures falling 1/250 F3.2 ISO2500 in the lights to 1/200 F2.8 ISO 4000 in the ambient for Laura. For the other bands members ISO6400 did the trick.

Here we stand again on the precipice of another opportunity for lawmakers to take a proactive stance on cybersecurity legislation.
The increased intensity of talks between politicians and IT industry experts moved the ball slightly forward. But it also effectively exposed the not-so-flattering motivations of some of the stakeholders involved.
One of the biggest defining features of the bill drafted by Senators Lieberman and Collins that fizzled late last year had to do with the US Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) interaction with the critical national infrastructure (CNI) companies that keep our lights buzzing, our water running, our fuel pumping and our dial-tone humming.
The proposed bill offered a generous exchange with CNI companies: Allow the DHS to scan, poke and prod their networks for vulnerabilities; in turn the feds would offer those companies liability indemnification in the event of a large scale security breach.
Should the DHS find vulnerabilities in these CNI companies' systems, the companies would have to mitigate those risks if they were to get safe harbor from the government. Seems like a fair enough trade, right? But many of the insiders at these companies—leaders who helm the companies that control our nuclear power plants and cell phone towers, among other assets—pushed against these provisions as too intrusive by our U.S. government.
But here's the deal: these kinds of scans are already being done. Only, the people behind the driver's wheel aren't employed by OUR government. They're operatives working for foreign governments and cyber terrorist groups. It's a scary situation, but even scarier – there are many vulnerabilities to find and exploit within the IT systems and networks of these critical infrastructure companies. The kind of vulnerabilities that would make it trivial to shut down whole power grids or water mains with a single attack.
Identifying SCADA Threats
Security researchers concerned about such attacks have stepped up their efforts to find them and report them to the vendors who make the systems that control our critical infrastructure. In fact, in the first eight months of 2012, security researchers found 98 different vulnerabilities in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.
These types of flaws didn't just hit the governmental radars in 2012. Experts within the security industry and various government agencies have warned about them for years, if not decades. And yet, critical national infrastructure companies have grown more dependent on automated systems without putting a commensurate amount of money into protecting these systems and proactively seeking to fill these holes themselves.
The public need look no further than the response by these companies' leadership to the latest suggested cyber security bill for evidence. The NSA and other three-letter-acronymed US agencies have been trying to work with these organizations to clean up their acts with little success. Software security vendors have tried and often failed to convince CNI companies to employ better security controls.
The Case for CyberSecurity Legislation
And so this is why legislators have looked for ways to create a federal law that will force the hand of CNI companies into improving the security of the energy industry. It's also why President Obama and his staff are considering and looking for ways to enact these policies through an executive order. And it is why some lawmakers say that passing a cybersecurity bill could be one of the biggest issues for US legislators to tackle in 2013.
Whether it comes as a law or an executive order, citizens of the USA deserve to have their representative leaders make these companies accountable. It's something the intelligence community and the information security community want to see.
The only people who don't want to see it happen are the executives and managers of critical national infrastructure companies. Quite frankly they're frightened of the inevitable embarrassment that will come when the official microscope hovers over their practices, particularly if poor results were to affect real consequences.
Of course, this kind of regulatory oversight would only apply to critical infrastructure companies. Lawmakers still haven't come up with anything that really works for keeping personally identifiable information reasonably protected. Breach notification laws are useless, HIPAA is toothless and most other regulations are closing the barn doors after the horse has left. But I guess you have to crawl before you can run.
The Case for Putting CEOs in the Stocks
When it comes down to it, though, I think maybe it's shaming that needs to take precedence above all else. Sure, the stocks may not be legal but if only we could professionally flog the executives who choose not to protect our critical national infrastructure, I think we could go a long way towards achieving a safer 2013 and beyond.
That's my take on the current state of critical national infrastructure. What's yours? Leave a comment below.

Adam Rudolph and Go: Organic Orchestra to Play CD Release Show at Roulette, 10/3
A walled city, a map of the world, a spiraling call: a mandala's meaning extends far beyond pattern and line. It does more than represent an ideal or suggest a path. It is reality, laid out in its true form, for us to contemplate.
Composer and percussionist Adam Rudolph finds a similar shape of things via sound, enlisting the Go: Organic Orchestra, an ensemble of players who can be assembled anywhere, anytime. In the project's latest iteration, Rudolph has gathered his longest collaborating group of musicians based in New York, for a series of elegant, diversely textured pieces that form aSonic Mandala (Meta Records; release: September 17, 2013). Following a compositional and conducting approach Rudolph has honed over decades of contemplation, performance, and creation, the group delineates a space where contemporary classical, jazz, and global traditions effortlessly converge.
Though Rudolph provides matrix-based scores and a streamlined vocabulary of conducting gestures to guide musicians, ultimately the pieces spring from the intent focus and spontaneous dialogue engendered in the musicians themselves. "The beauty lies in the ambiguity, the openness," reflects Rudolph. "There's something about playing into the center of the expressive quality of the music, something really intuitive that the musicians bring to it, as they focus on it. It's about being in tune, being completely in the present. You don't think about your musical gesture ahead of time, but serve the moment."
When hearing and making music, Rudolph perceives the forest, not the trees. His grounding in several jazz lineages, African drumming, North Indiantabla, and Western classical composition has led not to some elision or fusion, but to a vision of unity that lies at the foundation of how Rudolph crafts sound to fit human expression.
"What became interesting to me, the more I worked with my mentors, wasn't just how they played, or what instruments they played, or the sounds they made, but how they approached what they did," recalls Rudolph. "I was most interested in what their relationship was to music itself, the context and musical elements that were universal." This is no pat observation, no offhand notion of music as a universal language. Rudolph has strived to distill and then impart these elements, finding resonances and geometries over decades of intense engagement with a wide range of sounds and lineages.
Rudolph grew up in Chicago, surrounded by the burst of jazz energy that centered on groups like the Art Ensemble (some of its members taught music workshops at Rudolph's school). He encountered hand drumming thanks to the African percussion enthusiasts who used to gather at a park near Lake Michigan, and began drumming himself, in addition to playing piano. He dove into music, gaining experience under the mentorship of Chicago's Fred Anderson and Malauwi Nururdin, and Detroit's jazz stalwart, trumpeter Charles Moore of the CJQ.
Tracing jazz's structures back to one of their vital sources, Rudolph drove a cab in Chicago after completing his studies at Oberlin, saved his money, and wound up in the late 1970s in Ghana. As he learned from musicians there, he gained an intuitive sense of common underlying forms and structures, cycles and relationships that migrated into his own artistic work. "You have to look at the universal elements and connective tissues that can resonate in your own creativity, even while you feel how deeply the music is connected to the cosmology of how people live," notes Rudolph.
Traditions became respected structures, not generic strictures, as Rudolph studied with master players like Pandit Rao Taranath (one of Ravi Shankar's go-to tabla players) and co-founded cross-cultural projects (the Mandingo Griot Society, with griot Foday Musa Suso for starters, and recording with Gnawa musician Hassan Hakmoun for another), decades ahead of the current fascination with African and American musical dialogues.
As a hand drummer, Rudolph has been guided by rhythm as a meaningful unifying force flowing through the world's music. "One of the things I discovered through performance and study over the years is that many rhythmic traditions are organized around a timeline, what the Cubans call clave, for example," Rudolph says. "If you understand how that works mathematically and philosophically, you can start to design timelines for yourself." Rudolph feels this should happen within an artist's own tradition or lineage, and Rudolph's spans blues, jazz, and contemporary classical.

A selection of reviews for It's Dark Inside:
It's Dark Inside by Karen Heard is a prime work of dark fiction…
Dark Inside hearkens back to the core of terror—isolation. Be it physical, or emotional, or cultural, isolation is what makes us vulnerable and afraid. No one is coming to help you and you'll have to figure it out alone. But if you're wrong…
I hate small enclosed spaces and my pulse quickened with each sentence of this story. Her fear was real for me as I begged her not to leave the bathroom because outside was by the worst place to be.
Creepy prose that twists and turns till your dizzy with suspense.
Karen Heard is one of those rarely talented authors who can unsettle a reader without ever explicitly stating what has happened…
One of the best quiet horror story collections you'll read this year.
If I'm picking an old school horror author for comparison, I'd really go all the way back to Poe.
The gnawing build-up of dread in each tale is well paced and her descriptions and characterisation are spot on.
Six excellent dark stories that set my nerves tingling with dread.
Jonathan Broughton (horror author) Smashwords review
2012 has been a good year for short story collections… "It's Dark Inside" by Karen Heard has been one of my favourites. The genre is horror – not of the gross-out kind, but certainly creepy. The stories are atmospheric, disquieting, unsettling.
Rayne Hall (horror author) Amazon review
Karen writes in a very poetic and lyrical style, very much of the 'classic/old-skool' Gothic era and so (given the most welcomed '1st person narrative' technique & it's spooky content), I was at once put in mind of Poe and other Spooky Titans of the genre such as Mary Shelley and even Conan Doyle's lesser known eerie short 'Captain of the Polestar'.
Bobby Kemp, Amazon review
Each story manages to instil a growing sense of dread and discomfort in the reader, with the aid of brilliant writing, as opposed to excessive gore.
Alison N, Amazon review
The stories are all original and involving, each one entirely different with a stick-in-your-mind quality that makes you want to read another.
Xenophon, Goodreads review
I'd recommend this collection to gothic/horror fans, though you might want to avoid this if you're faint hearted or easily disturbed as some of the descriptions are quite intense (either the author has a great imagination or we're looking at a crazed psychopath).
Hayley, Goodreads review

Feminism | Posted by Aiyana R on 01/2/2013
It Starts In Childhood
This is the 21st century and women are somehow still being undermined all over the world. Incredible, isn't it? But what is the problem? What is making this cycle continue through all the years of fighting for women's rights and increasing respect for women? Well, I have a theory.
The other day I was playfully fighting with my little brother. I had him locked down and told him he should give up. He told me he couldn't because it was humiliating to lose to a girl. Of course, this is cliche and we hear it often. However, he also said that I couldn't win because I was supposed to be weak. Then something clicked in my head. He's just a child. He couldn't have just imagined up this idea that women are weaker than men. He had to have been taught this.
When little boys want to fight and play rough with girls, what do adults say? They say, "You can't hit a girl!" The explanations may vary, but the idea is the same. I never understood this because I always wanted to play rough, too. By no means am I saying that we should tell boys to go and beat up the next girl they see, but I'm suggesting that maybe if we're going to let boys play rough then it isn't a horrible thing for girls to play rough, too. Or maybe, if parents don't want their kids to play rough, they should think of a different way to convey that than to enforce gender stereotypes and double standard.
This isn't the only example, either. In this society, small comments such as, "Cool story, babe. Now go make me a sandwich," and the more classic, "You throw like a girl," are not helping the feminist cause. When small children hear these things, they start to think that it's true, even if it's a joke. Maybe if they were somehow raised to see boys and girls as perfect equals, things might be different. Women might then make the same salary as men in the future. Just think about what goes into the heads of kids. Something as seemingly small as telling girls they can't win a fight sticks with them. That, combined with all the other "little" sexist comments and treatment all add up, holding women back later in life in much bigger ways.

Great post and very thought provoking.
My son is two years older than my daughter. I taught them both they shouldn't hit but I tried very hard not to say my son shouldn't hit his sister because of her gender.
My daughter always played rougher than my son. When she tackles him as she sometimes still does I'm very careful not to get on his case if he pushes back when she started it. He has every right to defend himself, and as I told my daughter she can't jump on him and not expect retaliation.
Of course it's just play, they're very good friends. They're also tween/teen now so it's becoming rare to see them without headphones and their laptops.
Something else I've noticed is the different Physical Education standards in place for boys and girls. My son is not athletic by any means. He usually places average on PE standards. He was complaining to me that girls have to meet different standards yet some girls are able to do more than he can.
I asked if it bothered him, he said no but he wished he was ranked on the girls' scale because he'd place better. I had to laugh.
I wonder if there is a way to revamp these fitness tests without making it about gender, at least in the middle school/ high school years when everybody is growing at different rates. My son is small for his age, puberty is late visiting our house (as it was for me). Even otherwise, there will always be girls who will be able to run circles around him as he well knows.
Meanwhile he has no problem competing with girls in math & science. His sister is as strong in those areas as he is even though he's more advanced because he's older.
I'm an electrical engineer so he has grown up with first hand knowledge that girls can be engineers same as boys. I'm hoping they both follow in my footsteps, even though I know they need to carve their own paths.
We rightly focus on teaching our girls they can be and do anything. However, I think the missing link is our boys. I don't know if we're doing enough to make sure they learn the same lessons.
Perhaps we shouldn't ask the preschool boy to tone it down if he is playing with a preschool girl vs a boy?
As you said, this doesn't mean allowing him to hit but we shouldn't have double standard play rules.
Thanks for this post!

About us
Hello, my name is Roger Latimer and I am the proprietor of Seskinore Farm Meats. Although I wasn't reared on a farm, my father who was then employed by the Northern Ireland Dept. of Agriculture and cut beef animals for local farmers in his spare time.
When I was eleven my father bought a small eight hectare farm this fuelled my love of farming and I spent every spare minute either helping at home or milking cows for neighbouring farms. Aged eighteen I attended Enniskillen Agricultural College. After leaving college I travelled to America and worked mostly in the construction industry. I returned home and after working for dairy farmers in the locality I moved to England milking cows on a large estate.
I then returned home and ran a butcher's shop in Seskinore for five years. In 2000 I quit the shop and then worked for the Livestock Meat Commission for seven years and did a small amount of butchering as a sideline. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to make it his full time source of employment.
I am passionate about what I do. I am a strong advocate of supporting local producers. I want to know exactly where the livestock is coming from, who owned it, how it was treated and how it was fed and all this enables me to pass on detailed information to my customers.
I started by selling in Strabane Farmers' Market and now sells each Saturday in the month - Omagh first and third Saturday - Enniskillen every second and fourth Saturday. The farm shop ties in nicely with the Farmers' Markets. The shop is open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday (after I return from the Farmers Market).
I employ two staff and apart from preparing for the markets they spend a fair bit of time butchering for local farmers. Quite a few farmers like to sell a proportion of a slaughtered animal to other family members. I also supply local hotels.

in what way is subtracting fractions with unlike denominators like adding fractions with unlike denominators?
Like fractions are fractions with the same denominator. You can add and subtract like fractions easily - simply add or subtract the numerators and write the sum over the common denominator.
Before you can add or subtract fractions with different denominators, you must first find equivalent fractions with the same denominator, like this:
Find the smallest multiple (LCM) of both numbers.
Rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions with the LCM as the denominator.
When working with fractions, the LCM is called the least common denominator (LCD)
Subtracting Fractions Is Actually Easier Than Adding Fractions
When subtracting fractions with different denominators, we follow the same process we used for adding different fractions. But since everybody doesn't start with addition, we provide the same level of detail for subtraction.
First of all, when subtracting fractions with different denominators, the first step in the Rule says that we must change these fractions so that they have the "same denominator".
Here are the steps for subtracting fractions with different denominators. We will break-down each step just like before to make sure you've got it. Then we will subtract some tougher numbers. And finally, we will help you pull everything together. Okay!
So, here are the steps.
Build each fraction so that both denominators are equal. Remember, when subtracting fractions, the denominators must be equal. So we must complete this step first. What this really means is that you must find what is called a Common Denominator. Most of the time you will be required to work the problem using what's called the Least Common Denominator (LCD). In either case you will build each fraction into an equivalent fraction.
Re-write each equivalent fraction using this new denominator
Now you can subtract the numerators, and keep the denominator of the equivalent fractions.
Re-write your answer as a simplified or reduced fraction, if needed.
hope this helps
