The Texans have agreed to a contract with third-round pick Sam Montgomery, Tania Ganguli of the Houston Chronicle reported Thursday.
The 6-foot-3, 262-pound Montgomery will play outside linebacker in the Texans' 3-4 scheme. He recorded 19 sacks in three seasons for LSU.
After the selection of Montgomery, Texans linebackers coach Reggie Herring called the rookie linebacker a "big, strong, powerful, explosive individual."
"His play strength is (the) exception, it's about average," Herring said, according to a transcript from the club. "As far as the run game, he has that play strength that you need to play early in this league. I think he'll blend in well as far as the run game and setting the edge in our package.
"The other thing is when we look at our outside backers, we look at pass rush as a priority in our defense. He does bring an element of rush off the edge that is, once again, probably undeveloped and raw, but he has the basic ingredients, and that is, he can rush speed to power."
Montgomery, who garnered first-team all-Southeastern Conference honors from league coaches in 2012, declared for the draft with one season of eligibility remaining.

Mystery photo27th September 2009, Sunday
This weekend I revisited the dry grazing marsh at Rye that I walked over last week, and as I passed a rare puddle of water in one of the ditches my attention was drawn to a commotion on the surface of the water. Large numbers of bubbles were rising to the surface, agitated by something moving under the very turbid water.
There were several small sticklebacks on the margins of the puddle, but these did not seem to be big enough to cause the disturbance.
Eventually the head of an eel projected above the surface of the soft mud, sucked in a gulp of air, and retreated again. A moment later it wriggled out of its muddy retreat causing a further flurry of bubbles. Clearly the ability to take oxygen from air is an advantage that allows this fish to survive pretty poor conditions, but what with the death of eels at Pett Pools, and the obvious stress of these fish in a pretty anoxic looking pool, exposed to attack by herons and egrets, now is not a good time to be a fish in these habitats.

The FIFA U-20 World Cup Colombia 2011 comes to Medellin this Friday with the first Group F contest between European giants England and AFC U-19 champions Korea DPR. The game is something of an unknown quantity, and with the result in doubt, either side would be relieved if they made it through with three points.
The match
England-Korea DPR, 29 June, 14.30 (local time), Medellin
The stakes
No one would suggest that English football is in poor shape, but the fact remains that England have yet to record major success in a FIFA U-20 World Cup. In seven attempts they have never bettered the third-place finish they managed in Australia back in 1993, and in the last edition in Egypt they went out after the group stages, having taken just one point from their three games. Coach Brian Eastick can draw on the experience of the six players who were part of the England side that qualified for Colombia with a semi-final finish at last year's UEFA U-19 European Championship.
Korea DPR, meanwhile, are making only their second appearance at the premier youth championship, but they managed it in some style, winning the AFC U-19 Championship last year and beating a number of more fancied teams like Australia, Korea Republic and Iraq in the process. Coach Jo Tong Sop will be looking to keep the surprises coming.
The stat
10 – The number of FIFA U-20 World Cup games that England have played without winning since their 1-0 victory over Mexico in 1997. Korea DPR are yet to claim three points from a contest at the tournament, with two draws and a loss from their only previous appearance in 2007.
"At this level I think we all agree that any opponent is going to be tough. Argentina are candidates, there's no doubt. They've got a strong team, but Mexico are good, too, and we can't ignore Korea DPR. Our boys will give everything they've got, and if we get to the Round of 16 anything is possible," England coach, Brian Eastick

butter + honey | simple pleasures
one of my greatest treats is a heap of butter on an english muffin. my love of butter is border line obsessive. but i am particular. my latest love has been kerrygold imported irish butter - unsalted. the texture is out of this world.. it's sweet and i can add just as much salt to it as i like.
my salt? oh yes.. that's special too. murray river australian pink flake salt. The flavor is mild + it's flaked so it melts and covers each morsel of food with salty magnificence.
honey.. it's not an eveyday.. but when i do indulge it's been trader joe's organic raw honey.
this with a cup of tea? bliss.
i believe we must 'put on' the things that bring us pleasure. we must wear them, eat them, listen to them...daily. they give us a chance to breathe.. bring a pause to our day...and shift us to the present moment.
when i bite into that savory butter + honey drenched english muffin i can be no other place. worrying about the future? taxes? laundry? edits? nope. impossible.
i take my simple pleasure and i enjoy every sensation. i allow it to bring me to now and even if it's just a moment i can rest in that.

For the Love of Judaism
by Sam Orbaum
Mythological tales are told of saintly Jews abounding in humility, knowledge and wisdom, wondrous people just as close to God as to humanity.
I found one. And he's no myth.
I can be forgiven for having harbored cynical doubts after hearing about Rabbi Mordechai Machlis, and before meeting him. Here in Rabbiland, there are many with many fine attributes, a few with none, and perhaps fewer who are so lofty that -- in Jerusalem's religion industry -- they are failures.
Rabbi Machlis -- "Please," he would say, "Call me Mordechai" -- is a failure because he does not play the game. He is not loud enough about how quiet he is, he shuns the politics of power, prestige and influence, he doesn't understand the fashionability of false modesty, of cult of personality, of mystic stature-building. Doesn't hobnob or hustle, publicize or promote.
All he does, for heaven's sake, is do good. (And he'd really prefer I didn't write about it, but I declined to ask his permission.)
As Shabbat approaches, his household is busy preparing. It's a large family, so there's a lot to do, but they like having guests, so there's always a bit of extra work and added expense.
Not three or four guests.
A hundred. Maybe 150.
That's how it is every week in the Machlis household in Ma'alot Dafna, that's how it's always been -- for the past 18 years.
Why? Well, his wife is a great cook, and Shabbat is a beautiful experience, and they love people, so why not?
On second thought, the greater mitzva-macher is his wife, Henny. A semitrailer-load of splendid food goes through her small kitchen -- for Friday dinner AND Shabbat lunch. And they don't just serve a spoonful of this, a shtikl that: from the 18 chickens she cooks, to the three different kugels and array of salads, to the choice of four desserts (not to mention the gefilte fish, chicken soup, cholent, and even vegetarian alternatives), you can fress, take seconds, and go home heartily content.
Never mind that the family is (so I'm told) deeply in debt, that they pay for everything themselves, that they wouldn't think of scrounging for donations or institutional funding. Never mind that they are not salting away a nest-egg for their 12 children. They have this crazy notion that bounty should be shared, never mind if you can afford it.
Mordechai and Henny feed the thronging masses not just food, but morsels of learning, servings of hospitality, and great vatfuls of love of Judaism. They're not agenda-driven missionaries ramming religion down your throat -- because they're not collecting souls, they're nourishing them.
You eat, you listen to what Mordechai -- and Henny -- have to say about Torah wisdom and morality, and perhaps you'll stand up and contribute your thoughts, as many do. You sing or just listen; utter the prayers, or not; eat and leave, or stay and talk: even after the family has gone to bed, the door swings open and more people come in -- as late as midnight -- to nosh or shmooze. (Why they bother to have a door I don't know.)
It's one of the most enthralling Jewish experiences I've ever had in this city, where Judaism can be warped into such ugliness.
BEYOND THE food, and the food for thought, this is a remarkable encounter with people.
It can get unruly, vehement, or emotional to the point of tears. When the ingathering gets a chance to be heard, they don't always heed the rabbi's plea for sensitive, respectful political correctness. Hot, roiling debate might take hold.
But just as likely, someone might describe how they discovered their Jewish roots, beg forgiveness for anti-Semitism, or recall with reverence how the Machlis family changed their lives, and everyone will be quietly sobbing.
What startled me most was that close to half the assembled were gentiles seeking an intense Jewish experience. Mordechai and Henny are Americans in their mid-40s, and the proceedings are in English, but the Judaism is neither watered down for the most ignorant guest, nor pedantic and enigmatic for the most knowledgeable.
Indeed, there were a number of haredim and modern Orthodox present, mixed in with an amazing assortment of newly-religious, newly-Jewish or soon-to-be, elderly Sephardim, families and singles, neighbors, self-styled disciples of the rabbi, a few oddballs and kooks, the poor, the lonely, people under one influence or another. And of course, the Machlis children, a dozen beautiful youngsters aged one to 19.
Having grown up in such a pulsating environment, they are like the flower children of a '60s commune. "We don't need MTV," one of them chirped, "We have Shabbes."
There was a young man from Slovakia who had arrived on aliya five days earlier. A leggy, underdressed beauty from California, here with her husband on their honeymoon. A group of young South African Christians, one of whom had to go out for air because he was overcome by emotional tumult. A Christian Australian family, a day after arriving on their first visit. A middle-aged Florida tourist who spoke earnestly of Jesus, challenging Mordechai to respond wisely. And four young men who looked very much like soccer louts, German Christians profoundly self-conscious to be there, but -- encouraged by Mordechai's effusive warmth and sincere respect -- courageous enough to stand and state their feelings.
One of the Germans, Manfred, almost apologetic for his presence, needed us to understand that his name means "man of peace." Another of them asked me, wide-eyed and whispering, if this is how all Jewish homes are. I could barely answer for the lump in my throat.
People speak, awed, of the Machlis sense of charity and kindness. Stories are told...
When Mordechai walks home from the Kotel, he greets Arab shopkeepers with a friendly "Shabbat Shalom."
A homeless man sleeps in their van, and they never know who they might find on their couch in the morning.
The poor and hungry know they can walk in anytime and fill their pockets from the Machlis pantry.
A sorry old drunk was invited to the eldest Machlis daughter's wedding, and was honored by getting to dance with the bride's father.
Does it ever get to be a bit much? Doesn't this family sometimes crave a quiet, intimate Shabbat without intruders, just the 14 of them?
"Sure," said one of the girls, a 16-year-old identical twin. "We go away once every few months, just the family."
I was relieved to hear that.
"But," she added quickly, "We worry that some people won't have a Shabbat meal, so we leave food outside."
And that's the way it was... and is (except that the Rav and Rebbetzin now have 14 kids) ~ stop by the Machlis residence at any time and you're bound to see them feeding the hungry of body, mind or soul. On literally a daily basis Rav Mordechai and Henny dispense free food, monetary assistance, advice, encouragement, scholastic knowledge and help of all sorts to the many and varied groups of people who make their way to the Machlis's humble abode. To call their home an inspiration is quite the understatement, it is in fact Jerusalem's greatest soup kitchen, hospitality center, yeshiva, counseling hub and social center, all wrapped into one.
AND SO the purpose of this website
is threefold --
FIRST of all ~ on your next trip to Israel you Do Not want to miss out on the wonderful opportunity of meeting the Machlises, seeing what they do, participating in at least one of their Shabbatathons or other special events. These are truly interactive events where everyone has the opportunity to share whatever they would personally like to impart to the rest of the assembled. It is a Fabulous experience and should be a necessary mainstay on every tourist's itinerary. Now, Rav Mordechai and Henny don't know that I'm putting this website up, but no doubt they would love to personally invite you to their home for a Shabbat meal or otherwise.
Their address is: 137 Maalot Dafna # 26
Jerusalem 97762, Israel
Note: You may wish to call in advance of the Sabbath or holiday to make sure it isn't one of the few days that they get away with the family. Their telephone number is 02-581-3910 > From outside Israel dial your country's exit code followed by 972-2-581-3910}
SECOND of all, the purpose of this website is to start connecting the many thousands of people the world over who have experienced the Machlis's home and would like a venue to share their experiences. Of the many thousands who have enjoyed the experience, the majority of us unfortunately do not live in the State of Israel but would love to hold on to the inspiration and to learn of the latest goings-on and teachings coming from that corner of Jerusalem. And so(!), should you be so inclined, feel free to drop me a line at mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com
telling of your experience at the Machlises, your teachings, others' teachings, the Rav's teaching or whatever suits your fancy. And, providing you give your permission, I will post your note to this blog. Please also be sure to let me know whether you're okay with my including your name and/or email address along with your note.
AND FINALY (and truth be told, this inspired my initial interest in putting up this blog) it breaks my heart to know that Rav Mordechai and Rebbetzin Henny could do so so much more if they could only afford to do so. For years and years they personally sustained their soup kitchen, hospitality center and the rest of their 24/7 chessed-a-thon all by themselves. Naturally however, millions of dollars doesn't grow on trees, and I happen to know (though again, they don't know that I'm putting up this site) that it's getting increasingly hard for them to continue to do what's all too necessary for thousands of Jerusalemites, tens of thousands of tourists and the world - and God - besides.
And so I figured that I would offer you the opportunity to buy in to the amazing works of the Machlises by helping to support all of the beautiful things that they do. ~ Hence the paypal logo.

This is the Official badge I designed for archivists involved in the John-Michael Perkins Memorial Bankhead Broadside Archive Project. What exactly is the John-Michael Perkins Memorial Bankhead Broadside Archive Project, you ask? And why is it "Memorial" when I'm not dead?
Well I'll answer the second question first. I'm not dead YET. Now for the first question. Here at the University of Alabama we have the Bankhead Visiting Writers series which brings amazing writers from all over the place to the university to read from their works (http://english.ua.edu/grad/cw/bankhead). For a long time the book arts program has been letterpress printing broadsides to commemorate their readings. One fateful day, when I was trying to come up with an idea for a Bankhead broadside I was supposed to be working on, I realized that there weren't any around for me to look at and be inspired by. This is because we usually give them all away to the English department to hand out at the readings. I decided it was high time we began keeping an archive of these broadsides because the work we all have done for the Bankhead series is beautiful and deserves to be properly cataloged and stored. I decided to name it after me because everyone wants to leave a legacy behind and this is the one I have chosen for myself. I made it "Memorial" because someday (probably) I will be dead and I want book arts students in the year 2112 to be like, "Who WAS this guy?" and everyone will shrug and go about their business. Ahhhh, what a legacy! I'll be dead (most likely), but the archive will live on!
I've been the head (and only) archivist for the past year. Now I'm not going to be around forever (This isn't more "being dead" talk. I mean that I graduate next year and I'm pretty sure they'll force me to leave.) so I have decided who will take my place. I know she'll do a great job (just as good, if not better than I did), and then pick someone equally as awesome to take over when she leaves. But I'll be in charge for one more year and I plan on making some big changes. First of all, we recently (as recently as just the other day!) expanded to include Farmer's Market broadsides printed by book arts students. This caused me to have to upgrade to a bigger cardboard box on my shelf. Also I plan on scanning them at some point. Big changes in 2012, I tell you!
Anyway, the above badge can only legally be worn by official archivists working on the project, but since I put it on the internet for all to see, how could I possibly stop you?

In the very back of our book, we give the URLs for some useful enterprise search resources, including blogs and trade shows. These can be helpful in learning about enterprise search, and stay up-to-date on current trends and technologies. Search touches everything in the organization, and improving the enterprise search in the organization delivers real ROI.
But the real hiddem gems in the Resources appendix are the links to the source code snippets from the book at Wrox; and to two Microsoft sites where you can get free evaluation copies of the software as well as training and product materials.
The first site, www.microsoft.com/enterprisesearch, is the landing page for Enterprise Search at Microsoft. The site contains links to marketing material on all of the various search products offered by Microsoft, including videos and product information.
It also contains a link to the second site we mention in the book: The Technet Enterprise Search landing page where you can browse developer training materials for SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Search; download an evaluation copy of Search Server Express, the standalone search from Microsoft; and download a full 180 day evaluation copy of SharePoint 2010 and FAST Search for SharePoint. This last download, available as a Hyper-V virtual hard drive, comes fully populated with web sites, files, and 200 corporate user profiles for 200 (virtual) employees of the 'Contoso' corporation.
The download also comes with some excellent 'walk through' scenarios to learn the product; we recommend it highly. And the nice thing about a virtual system is, of course, if you make changes and break it, you can always roll back to a new saved image!
Good surfing

Walk to Work Wednesdays
I'm on the mend now as long as I take it easy. I caught the last two Wednesdays and came away with this sketch of the inside of a cafe called Joe's Garage.

That is ironic, funny how things work out! Pleased to hear your back is improving though, maybe a good chance to take it easy and sketch more?? That cafe owner must be a Frank Zappa fan.ReplyDelete
This place was very comfortable. Restrooms were decent. Coming here with my friends was an amazing experience. This is my favorite event venue Chicago now, because of its excellent food, perfect lighting, vibrant atmosphere and great ventilation.ReplyDelete

Just about every homeowner I've every met has a wish list full of renovations and updates for their homes but sometimes the dreams are too big for the wallet.. "champagne taste on a beer budget."
Here are some ways to get your dream home or at least close to it, for MUCH LESS!
Tip #1
Do as much hands on as you can! You may not be a professional carpenter or painter but you can always learn. There are some great resources at your fingertips to learn and master some great skills you can use around your house. Whenever I'm about to start a project I begin with Google, YouTube and of course Pinterest. I watch through countless videos and read many blogs to learn from the mistakes of others instead of making to same ones! Once I feel confident that I know what I am doing and understand the steps… then I go get the tools and material needed.
When shopping for a project spend a little more on tools you can use in other areas of the house or could resell (I like to sell on the Facebook Bidding Wars). If its an expensive tool and you think you might only use it once or twice then have a look around to find a tool rental in your area.
Some projects might feel intimidating or daunting to think about doing on your own but if you prepare, have the proper equipment and take it slow you might surprise yourself.
Tip #2
Take it Slow
When your about to start a project, take it slow! You want to avoid doing the same steps twice or having to tear up something you've completed in order to finish another area. When we were about to start our kitchen / dining room my husband and I sat down with a pen and paper and made a list of everything we wanted to complete in the rooms (we didn't just think of the things we wanted done right away). Then we went back to the list and created an order that the projects should be completed in. Even though I wanted to start by tearing out the hole for our new french doors.. but by being patient and following the order we are getting everything done more efficiently without backtracking on our steps.
Tip #3
Scan Flyers
This is something I do on a very regular basis. When I get a chance, usually with the kids help… I put the newspaper on the floor, drink my morning coffee and flip through the flyers. I pull out my list of all our desired renovations, including materials and dimensions. I am then able to cross reference any of the items on sale.
I have gotten most of our door handles, cabinet handles, paint and mouldings at 50% – 75% off! Make it part of your routine to scan the flyers or online for sales.
Tip #4
Tap into your Resources
If your trying to install pot lights in your ceiling and have an electrician friend, try calling them up and see if they want a side job. Lots of tradespeople are willing to pull a side job for tax free money or even better if you can trade services (No I'm not talking about those "services" lol) If you are a hairdresser maybe you could offer some free cuts for themselves or their family… When doing our kitchen we had one of my husbands friends help with the under mount sink in exchange for a case of beer!
Start to think of who you know and how they can help.
Tip #5
Have an open mind
Sometimes it can be hard to compromise on a dream kitchen or master bathroom but if you have an open mind when it comes to materials you might find that there is a very similar product for a much cheaper price. For each room its a good idea to pick one thing that you are going to splurge on and then you can compromise on some of the smaller things. For the kitchen I've always liked the hood fan as a focal point and spend a bit more on a chimney style look.
I hope this helped, Happy Renovating!
Forever Momming

Artist Prospectus 2018
The Wallkill River School is delighted to announce that the 3rd annual Hudson Valley Plein Air Festival will be held on October 10 - 14.
New York's Hudson Valley is the ideal setting for plein air painting. The area is endowed with a rich history of art and has been a popular destination for many of America's artists for over 150 years.
About the Festival
The Hudson Valley Plein Air Festival is organized by the Wallkill River School, a non-profit artists' cooperative that runs an art school and fine art gallery as well as a plein air art workshop series.
The Hudson Valley Plein Air Festival is a juried exhibition open to all painters in all mediums. The festival will include artist awards and an opportunity to sell work created during the event to the public. There will be a welcome reception for artists to check in and have canvases stamped. Artists may paint at locations of their choosing within the Hudson Valley map provided. There will be a Quick Draw competition in Goshen open to juried and non-juried artists. The festival will conclude with an exhibition and sale of paintings created during the festival.
A 30% commission on all artwork sold during the Hudson Valley Plein Air Festival will be retained
by the Wallkill River School, with all event sales handled by the Wallkill River School. Payment to artists for work sold will be mailed within 30 days after the event ends.

Five-goal game at Butlin Road
Rugby Town continued their happy new year, with their fourth win since Christmas. New striker Richard Gregory opened the scoring in the seventh minute, with Sam Youngs making it 2-0 in the 26th minute.
Uxbridge replied just before half time, but Justin Marsden added Valley's third soon after the break. The visitors pulled another back for 3-2 in the 62nd minute, but Rugby took all the points to stay fifth in the Evo-Stik Southern League Central division.
They are in action again tomorrow night (Tuesday) in a rearranged Red Insure Cup game away at Biggleswade.

Train spill in northwest Minnesota requires month-long cleanup
Originally published on StarTribune.com
Article by: LARRY OAKES
A truck-train crash in northwest Minnesota released 30,000 gallons of a petroleum-based chemical.
Officials estimated on Monday that it would take two more weeks to finish cleaning up 30,000 gallons of a petroleum-based chemical that spilled from a train car after a semi-trailer truck hit it last month in northwest Minnesota.
The spill happened March 31 after the semi, northbound on U.S. Hwy. 59, struck an eastbound Canadian Pacific train at a crossing near Plummer, Minn, derailing at least one car. The truck's driver, Dale J. Buzzell, 65, of Isanti, Minn., was killed.
The impact punctured a 30,000-gallon rail tanker that was filled with aromatic concentrate, a flammable liquid used in the making of industrial chemicals and plastic. The liquid pooled in a ditch, where workers used booms to contain it in an area around the damaged rail car, said Canadian Pacific spokesman Ed Greenberg.
Plummer, population 292, is in Red Lake County southeast of Thief River Falls. Officials, citing possible health effects from a petroleum-like smell, evacuated residents living within a mile of the crash but lifted the evacuation order two hours later.
Officials also closed about seven miles of Hwy. 59 and routed traffic around the spill site using detours that were expected to remain in place throughout April. Sheriff Mitch Bernstein said the highway closure was to divert motorists from "physical hazards" that might be presented by heavy equipment brought in for the clean-up.
The railroad, as part of a clean-up plan approved by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), hired a company to monitor the air at several locations around Plummer. So far, none of the tests have detected harmful levels of fumes, said Doug Bellefeuille, an emergency response program administrator for the MPCA.

However, it's been our experience that even if the label is present, solar system owners still struggle with the procedure. DC and AC isolators come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes however, no matter what they look like, they should be clearly labelled as below or similar.
If you ever need to shut your system down (perhaps to clear a fault), here's how to go about it…
Your inverter has now been shutdown. To re-start the inverter, do the above IN REVERSE.
Your inverter will take up to about 90 seconds to restart so be patient. You'll know when it's functioning again when you see the green light on continuously. If after you shut down and re-start the system, you don't see a green light on continuously it means there's a fault in the system.

Proposal: Food Poisoning
Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.
Adminned at 21 Jan 2009 03:03:11 UTC
Add a new rule, named Food Poisoning:
Whenever a Member of the Staff adds a recipe or ingredient to their table, they must roll a DICE100. On a 15 or lower, the ingredient or recipe is poisoned and it must be removed from the table and discarded. The Member of the Staff who added the poisoned food to their table must pay one half of their total credits or 10 credits, which ever amount is lower, in hospital bills.

It is always interesting doing return visits. My first visit to Atul Kochhars flag ship London Restaurant Benares was well over a year ago on a Friday evening.
We went for the tasting menu and were blown away by the glorious food and the subtle wine combinations. We'd been to the Cinnamon Club and our experience there with Indian Food Wine matching was scary – give the customer lots of really strong red wine, being the basic philosophy I think. Not so at Benares. Indeed the meal was close to perfect, let down only by the meat course which was fine, but not that different from the sort off food you can get at a good curry house. Ironically our dinning neighbours had the opposite reaction "finally something we recognise" they said. So I guess you can not please everyone!.

Now comes the second visit, it was like going to a different Restaurant. This time I went with friends who were experiencing the restaurant for the first time, it was for Sunday Lunch, on a weekend where Atul was not in the kitchen. One of my companions had to send her Lamb back, and when it returned (much too quickly) it was still not as ordered. We also had to redirect the waiter to a nearby table that had been trying to get his attention for ages.

It was at last year's discussion at The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERs) Human Rights event that I first noticed how people used the idea or the belief that they are liberal, open minded and straight as a standard to either make homophobic comments or massage their egos.
Usually, it begins like this: "Hi, my name is (insert name). I'm straight and liberal…" and then go on to make statements that are either downright inane or that reeks of pomposity and self-aggrandizement.
Truth be told, being a liberal isn't a bad thing – in fact, to be fair, it is an admirable quality that requires one to transcend little human failings and embrace ideas that are progressive and accommodating. But, still, the idea of a liberal minded person has become a sort of inoculation – perhaps "cool kid factor" is more apt here – for people to feel among without understanding or believing in the scope of something.
Because being liberal portends to a worldview that spells sophistication, academic and brilliant, people cling to it, guardedly, jealously. Supporting certain rights that are in standing with the global left gives one an automatic entrance into the cool kid world: that enclave reserved for the right thinking.
Do you want to sound cool or feel among? or become a symbol of something cool and progressive? Then identify as a liberal. Declare it wherever you go. Pound your chest and sound the alarm, let everyone know how open minded and progressive you are.
You see, I identify with liberal ideologies and if I was to pick a more apt label for myself, I will mark "liberal." But, still, I have a problem with the liberal movement. (In a way, it feels funny writing about ideological systems in a country like Nigeria where the difference between left and right is nonexistent, like snowflakes). liberalism has in recent years assumed the form and shape of a puritanical movement that is reminiscent of a group of secondary school bullies who, despite their obvious shortcomings, think of their way as the best and only way, crowning themselves with the halo of saints.
Sometimes, I imagine the liberal movement as a democratic form of authoritarianism, allowing no dissent, punishment swift and sharp. We fail to see that the idea of progressiveness has become an umbrella of sorts to hide hate and bigotry. That it has become an unfair tool for spreading hate, even though it proclaims itself to a higher standard.
It is in the same way that I sometimes doubt the intention of heterosexuals who, for convenience sake or to also feel among, tout their support for LGBT rights while at the same time – albeit, low-key – make downright inane jokes and commentaries about sexual activities between persons of the same sex.
It is not that I doubt all heterosexuals and progressives who support LGBT rights and people. It is for the simple reason that it feels convenient, that by adopting the label and prefixing your comments with "I'm straight and liberal minded" you are distancing yourself from gay people while at the same time proclaiming support for them wherever they are in their little corners.
Of course, I understand the need to draw a mark, to mention your label at the beginning so you can easily wade off homophobic attacks on your person and focus attention on your belief/ideology or so you can show receipts of your progressive nature.
There is also the very, quite irritating, situation where supposedly progressive minds are only progressive because being progressive is the cool thing, the latest in-thing. It is sad, really. But then understandable in an age and time where we crucify people for making honest – perhaps, misguided – statements and comments about their thoughts on minority issues (women's rights, race, LGBT, etc.), throw unfair negative labels on them and call them whatever feels right for the offence just for saying their truth, and deep concerns.
It becomes imperative that to fit in, to be acceptable, you don't have to be honest about your opinion. Instead, claim the title of a progressive, proclaim it beliefs while still being the opposite of what you say you are.

October 1, 2012
tl;dr – RSVP to our London Launch Party on Wednesday, 3 October 2012.
At the beginning of this year, Ian Plosker and I were tasked to bring the quality service Riak is known for in the US to our customers in Europe. We came to London in March to find the future office of Riak's European headquarters. We found a comfy office in the heart of the thriving startup community in Shoreditch.
Since May we have decorated, hired, started the Riak London Meetup, attracted attention and added new customers – our European operations are running strong. This week, it is time for us to take step back and celebrate this milestone in Riak's history.
This Wednesday, the 3rd of October at Corbet Place (The Old Truman Brewery) in Shoreditch at 18:30 BST, we are having a party and you should be there. The space is limited to 200 people, so please
RSVP. Come celebrate with Riak executives, employees, investors, customers, and Riak users – registration, beer, and canapes are free.

The Mozambique Islands are amongst the Indian Ocean's best kept secrets. The islands offer the quintessential tropical island experience – palm trees swaying in the breeze, endless white sandy beaches and clear azure seas – and some of the most luxurious and sophisticated hotels, lodges and resorts to be found anywhere in the world.
If you harbour a desert island fantasy, the Mozambique Islands offer a rare opportunity to turn this into a reality. Unwind on deserted, sun-kissed beaches, swim in warm clear waters and explore some of the world's richest coral reefs.
Discover an ocean dotted with tropical islands, sailing on an ancient Arab Dhow – still built to the same design as the vessels which a thousand years ago sailed from India. Stay in boutique hotels and luxury lodges, and dine on the freshest of seafood.
The Mozambique Islands are the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern life, offering a magical holiday experience in a tropical paradise as yet untainted by mass tourism. Pure escapism!
If you want world-class sailing, kayaking, canoeing, snorkelling and diving, or just simple relaxation, then the Mozambique Islands have plenty to offer. For the culturally inclined, Ibo Island offers fascinating glimpses of its past as a centre for slave and ivory trading.
The exclusive paradise island of Bazaruto, the largest of Mozambique's islands, is a tranquil haven famous for its natural beauty. Do fishing, diving, snorkelling and birdwatching here. Wonderful beaches converge at the northern tip of the island, forming a narrow sand spit stretching several kilometres out to sea. There are freshwater lakes in the middle of the island, home to the freshwater crocodile.
Ibo Island is the most visited in the Quirimbas Archipelago due to its fascinating history and beautiful old buildings. Ibo was a major trading centre for ivory and slaves.
Probably the most compelling attraction in the Quirimbas, Ibo's 200-year-old ghost town and 16th Century forts make for a fascinating journey to an era long forgotten. Three forts, a cathedral, and numerous palatial homes once graced the town. Ancient cannons still grace the ramparts, though the fort is now inhabited by silversmiths, who make jewellery using ancient Arab techniques and tools — blowpipes, charcoal, lemon juice and tiny metal files.
These islands, hardly touched by mass tourism, with glorious beaches, rare plant, animal and bird species and the majestic solitude of the mountains, are remote and full of history and adventure.
Visit exclusive destinations that few people have travelled to before. Whether you stay in a simple tent or the most luxurious of accommodation, impressive standards of service and the refinement and courtesy of the inhabitants make these wonderful, warm and welcoming places to visit.
The Mozambique Islands enjoy a tropical climate and are equally suitable for a holiday at any time of year. However, the summer months from October through to April can be very humid and may not suit people who suffer in such conditions.
These tropical islands offer wonderful weather most of the year around, with hot summers (October to March) and slightly cooler winters (April to September).
Summer rainfall is the norm, although almost every day is sunny and rainfall is usually in the form of brief, intense showers.
The wetter months from October to April can get rather stuffy.
Ensure you take high factor sun cream and a lightweight waterproof outer garment, whatever time of year you plan to holiday in the Mozambique Islands.
The tropical climate enjoyed by the islands means that most of the popular holiday activities – snorkelling, diving, sailing, sea kayaking and deep sea fishing – are available throughout the year.
The excellent whale watching opportunities around the Mozambique Islands are, however, restricted to the months of August through to early November, after which the whales migrate.
The island's waters are also home to an abundance of dolphins and the rarer and more mystical dugong, or sea cow, which early sailors thought was a type of mermaid.

Growing into the Woman God Intended Me to Be...... Embracing the Calmness while Letting Go of the Chaos
We are moving On
Now that we are home it is up to the kids and I to pack up the house, because we are moving. We are moving out August 1st. We will be down sizing tremendously. But, I am looking forward to it. We need this actually. I know sometimes stuff can get in the way of true living. I don't want or need that. Because of my childhood stuff has been a comfort in the past. Now I want to get rid of it. So, that means getting rid of the big house first & then the stuff that's stuffed in it.
Our new home will be 1,600 sq. ft. The house we live in now is 4,000 sq. ft. Thanh works long hours and every weekend but 1 in July we will be gone or he will be. So, I have my work cut out for me. Not only do I need to pack and do the normal moving things a person does, but I need to sort out what we have and donate, throw away and plan a moving sale. Not to mention all the normal Mom things that needs to be done. Will I make it? Of course, I always do. But due to my health issues I need to be organized and prioritize where I spend my energy. That's hard to do sometimes.
Home sweet Home
We are HOME!!!!! Yeah!!!! I have lots to share. Check back soon.
Let's Celebrate!
Skylar is officially a High School Student. Yeah!!!!!! We did it!!! I say we because I've been right there in the trenches with him. He has worked so hard it's insane. I think homeschooling has given him not only confidence, but the feeling of being in control of his education. He knows that if he works hard he'll get his work done. And then he can relax or move on to the next lesson. Most of the time he moves on to the next lesson. And that makes me so proud to see his determination and desire for education. So, Saturday we went to Chuck E. Cheese. Mahala has been wanting to go for awhile now, so we thought we could do it for an end of the year thing. We just played games, no pizza. Because afterwards we went out for an early dinner at one of Skylar's favorite restaurants and then hit the Mall.
P.S. I'm very proud and thankful for all my children. Congratulations Skylar!! I knew you would overcome all the educational obstacles that you have had and be Successful. I never doubted you!

The traditional Lao calendar is a solar-lunar mixed. The year itself is a rocketed by solar phases while the months are divided according to lunar phases.
Festivals in Laos are largely linked to agricultural seasons or historical Buddhist holidays and the general word for festival in Lao is "BOUN." In general lao people like to party and they enjoy festivals as long as possible. Some of the festivals - like the new year - inofficially start a few days earlier and go on for about a week.
Boun Pha Vet(January): This temple centered festival cerebrate the birth of Prince Vessanthara, the Buddha's penultimate existance. The jataka or birth story of Buddha is recited. This is the favored time for Lao men to become ordained as a monk. Festivities are staggered between villages so that different villages can visit one another to their celebrations.
Boun Ma Kha Bu Saar (February):This celebration commenorates a speech given by the Buddha in which he laid down the first monastic regulations and predicted his own death. The speech was heard by 1250 enlightened monks who arrived without prior summons. The festival is to celebrate with chanting and presenting offering carious Vat throughout the country. The biggest celebrations take place at the Khmer ruins of Vat Phu Champasack.
Boun Khoun Khao(March): Harvest festival are cerebrated in various villages throughout the month.
Boun Pi Mai/Laos New Year (April) : Pi Mai means "new year" and it is the time when the Lao cerebrates the start of their Lunar calendar year. Practically, the entry country grinds to a half for the festivities. Houses are cleaned, people wear new clothes and Buddha images are washed with holy water and this festival makes one of the best time to visit Laos.
Boun Visakha Bu Saar (May): Starting on the day of the sixth lunar month, this cerebration commemorates the birth, enlightenment and parinibbana (death) of Buddha. The festival is based and visitors can see chanting and sermonizing at night followed by beautiful candlelight processions.
Boun Bang Fai "Rocket Festival"(May-September): Various villages throughout the country take part in one that most boisterous festivals on the Lao calendar. This festival dated back to pre-Buddhist times and featuring home made rockets that are fired into the clouds to ask for rain as well as it amidst a great deal of raucous chanting and merry making.
Boun Ok Phansa and Boat Racing Festival (October):The festival held after the end of the monks' three-month fast and retreat during the rainy season (Boun Khao Pansa). At dawn on the first day, donations and offerings are made at temples around the city. In the evening, candlelight processions are held at temples and hundreds of colorful floats decorated with flowers, incense and candles are set adrift down the Mekong River to pay respect to the river spirit. The following day in Vientiane, Savannakhet and Champasack Province, a popular and exciting boat racing competition is held to celebrate the Mekong River.
That Luang Festival and Trade Fair in Vientiane Capital (November):This religious festival is held in and around That Luang Stupa, the National Symbol of Laos, where hundreds of monks gather to accept alms and floral votives from the people. The festival includes a grand fireworks display at night. During the day, an international trade fair showcases tourism in Laos and other countries from ASEAN and the Greater Mekong Sub-region. During the same period a similar festival is also celebrated at Ching Tim Stupa in Luang Namtha Province.

I have a full blown sinus issue today. Bad thing is I think it's a viral cold so maybe not much I can do but treat it the best I can. Eyes are pouring water and my sinuses feel like they will explode any second. As such I cannot concentrate much so just a quick post.
Final Push?
I don't have much to add to last night's post. This rally is getting very extended here. Everything seems very forced here and tired. Short squeezes, while dramatic, are not solid base formers and a name like MSFT running wild is a puzzling sort of thing.
I could be wrong. This could be THE change and it's off to the races for a few months. Like I said, if that is so there will be plenty of time to play.
A reversal at a number as clear as 128.0 for the $SPY may be too easy. I think a low volume push up to about $SPY 129.2-$129.4 will be the near term top should it get there. In chart form:
Have a good night.

Back again
It's been a while – I've got no excuses life has just kept us rather busy. We've had a lot happening – it has rained quite bit nearly every day without the drying winds'.
I won't try and catch up right now, I'll leave that for later. The important things first; a big thank you to Mrs Duck Herder for an incubator full of lovely duck eggs, they're in and rotating and hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll clutch of very special ducklings. She also gave us a load of Onion and Leek seedlings which have been planted. And sorry for busting in so late Mrs DH – I'll try harder next time to arrive at a decent hour...
We've also picked up our first batch of natives for planting in the upper reach of our gully. The fencing has started in earnest and hopefully in the next three weeks the planting areas should be stock proof. If anybody has a spare couple of days of sunlight they could spare let me know.
We've had more snow as well, last week on Wednesday it snowed all the way down highway to Michelago. I was taking the kids to a first aide course in Canberra – I nearly turned around and had a snow day it was so heavy.
The River is high but the water is crystal clear, the rain has been enough to cause runoff but not a lot of silt. Up early in the morning to collect another load of bread, then back home for a little more fencing, some tree planting and if it's fine a little weed spraying.
Still more to come - Bee and NSF meetings, weeds, piglets and all sorts of things. I need to sort out my pictures - they're all to large to upload, I need to get photoshop.....

Monitoring the financial health of your business - By Paul Cox, Accounts & Audit Manager, Paish Tooth Ltd.
Monitoring the financial performance of your business is essential to ensuring its success. It's vital to be aware of how you're faring alongside your competition, and to use the correct financial tools to help you make timely decisions.
One of these tools is management accounts, which are a great way to help you maximise the performance potential of your business. In some ways they are similar to the annual accounts that are required for compliance purposes by HMRC and Companies House, as they report on the historical performance of your business. There are, however, some subtle differences.
Unlike annual accounts, management accounts are produced on a more regular basis, whether that be monthly, quarterly, or for any period that is useful to you as a business owner. Also, management accounts are not constrained to tight reporting formats, so they can be presented in a way that you understand and in a timely manner.
The level of detail that can be included is almost limitless, but ensuring that you report on the key areas of your business will help to make the accounts understandable and relevant and will avoid excessive detail.
The key benefits to producing management accounts are:
• Improved understanding of your business performance
• Greater control of the business
• Problems highlighted in a timely manner
• Improved decision making
• Improved access to funding
Management accounts provide a lot of insight into whether or not you are achieving your goals but the key, as with all information, is to know what to do with it once you have it.
How did I do?
The first thing to do is compare the results with your expectations. Typically this means comparing the results with your forecast figures and highlighting key variances. Once you have analysed your performance against your own forecasts it is good practice to establish why your results differ from your expectations.
A lot of small businesses do not have the time or resources to produce formal forecasts but they will still have their own inherent expectations against which to compare performance.
How do I compare?
Understanding how your business compares against your competitors is an invaluable tool in evaluating performance and understanding where your strengths and weaknesses lie. Using a benchmarking service will provide real-time industry averages to allow you to keep abreast of the most up-to-date and accurate trends in your specific industry.
It's an important means of focusing on key changes that will enable you to improve your business to obtain that vital competitive edge and help make it look the way you want!
What if …..?
"What if" scenarios allow you to manipulate existing data to show how your performance would be affected if you changed certain variables. An example of a common "what if" scenario would be: What if I increased my prices by 1%? Management accounts form the perfect foundation for running "what if" scenarios with your data.
Room for improvement!
Management accounts will highlight areas that need improving and this allows you to formulate a plan of action to get your business to where you want it to be. It is important when making changes to first focus on the areas you consider key to your business. It is also worth remembering that most changes do not happen overnight. It's essential not to become disheartened, although at the same time you do need to be able to recognise when something isn't working and that it's time to change the plan.
Improved access to funding
Preparation of regular management accounts highlights to lenders that you understand your business and you are serious about it. Making changes to your business, be that to finance new machinery or take on more staff, will almost inevitably require financing. Having management accounts to hand will improve your chances of obtaining the finance required without undue delay.

Here is another page of scanned pictures from Vera Meddley Smith's picture box. This is not all she has and one day I hope to scan them all and get them on line. These pictures vary as to dates and areas where they were made. I will try to identify all of them as to who they are and how they are related to the Pierce family. Some of these I had never seen before and hope you enjoy looking at them. You may download any or all of them if you so choose.

It has complex, meaty and spicy aromas with a tremendous, fleshy middle. A great buy, we believe, at £15 a bottle, and a brilliant wine to drink this spring.

The Raymond and Beverly Sackler Foundation Distinguished Lecture in Egyptology
Asyut: capital that never was
Thursday 20 July 2017,
BP Lecture Theatre
Tickets £30
Members/Concessions £25
Phone +44 (0)20 7323 8181
Ticket Desk in Great Court
Recommend this event
This year's lecture will be given by Jochem Kahl, Free University Berlin.
Located 375km south of Cairo, the city of Asyut was a gateway to important trade routes leading to the oases of Dakhla and Kharga, and on to Darfur in present-day Sudan. Asyut's very name – translated into English as 'Guardian City' – highlights the city's considerable strategic importance, which almost inevitably consigned it to the fate of becoming what cultural anthropologists have termed a 'wounded city'. Its geographical location in the middle of Egypt placed Asyut between rival blocs of power on several occasions in the course of history, with damage inflicted in the wake of civil wars and occupation by foreign rule – yet it would appear that the city's changing fortunes prompted its culture to thrive and flourish. Asyut's history as a major population centre and a regional capital stretches back more than 4,500 years. Indeed, the ancient Egyptians held Asyut's artistic and cultural knowhow in high esteem – reusing, reconfiguring and recontextualising products of Asyuti expertise for more than 2,000 years.
The quality of artwork, craftsmanship and architecture originating from pharaonic Asyut has been met with great acclaim by contemporaries and modern Egyptologists alike. Asyut's heritage of texts, images and architecture forms an integral part of ancient Egypt's cultural memory, an intellectual reservoir maintained and cultivated by Egyptian elites in order to boost their claim to power, and stabilise and convey their self-image. The texts, iconography and architectural layouts used to great effect in the nomarch tombs from the First Intermediate Period and the Middle Kingdom, were passed on to later generations and emulated repeatedly all over Egypt. Unfortunately, Asyut's temples, palaces, and mansions have all been buried under strata of alluvial plain and the sprawling modern city. Only written sources or clues retrieved from the pharaonic necropolis in the city's mountainous vicinity, the Gebel Asyut al-gharbi, can shed light on the city.
The Gebel Asyut al-gharbi was not only used as a necropolis, however, but housed military facilities, monasteries, places of prayer, quarries and even a temple, over a period of 6,000 years. Since 2003, a joint German-Egyptian research project has been reinvestigating the Gebel Asyut al-gharbi and its archaeological structures in light of their longue durée. The wealth of material discovered here allow us to write a specific regional history of Asyut emphasising local patterns of thought and craftsmanship in comparison with, for example, the customs followed at the royal residence(s).
The lecture is part of the annual Egyptological colloquium and will be followed by a reception in Room 4, the Egyptian Sculpture Gallery.
