Women traditionally don't rise to the top in architecture – not on an international level. Not in the stratosphere where Zaha now exotically moves, where a handful of global superstar architects is constantly airborne like some design equivalent of a nuclear deterrent. Women don't get invited into that club. And as for a notoriously short-fused, allegedly tyrannical, hugely imaginative and sometimes sweetly charming woman from Baghdad of all places – no, that script would be turned down by Hollywood as just too inherently implausible. Besides, no actor on earth could play the mercurial Zaha.
And yet here I am, talking to the world's most famous female architect, a British citizen now 55 but effectively ageless, in the converted school in Clerkenwell that has been her studio for years. She is wearing one of her trademark black tunic tops, narrow shiny trousers, Prada sandals – all black. She lounges on a pink S-curved Verner Panton chair at her huge meeting-table with its blue Perspex top, slashed and layered into a million indentations. Books and magazines line the room. Occasionally she barks orders to underlings in her rich, American-accented drawl. When Zaha barks, her staff jump to it. And I mean literally jump. They spring to their feet and hurtle forward as if catapulted. They have to. Working for Zaha is not like working for other people. It's like coping with an earthquake.
As one of her former assistants told me: "It's never dull, but she's a complete nutcase. You're dealing with a screaming harpie most of the time. In a way it's quite sad. I think she may be unhappy with herself. She's chaotic."
When the word goes round that Zaha is about to arrive in the office, there is much feverish tidying of desks. Even so, the story goes that on a bad day she can be inclined to do a bit of extra cleaning herself: a sweep of her arm can send your stuff flying across the room. Once, I'm told, Zaha managed to hurl a computer monitor to the floor so violently that it spectacularly exploded. I notice that they've all got flat screens these days.
This is all part of the Zaha legend, of which she herself is well aware. Anyone who joins her enterprise knows they are in for a scary ride. Still, scores do. When I first met her here, she had one room, a few assistants, no professional income to speak of, and was somewhat awkward and tongue-tied in interview. Now her office has taken over most of this big old school. Every former high-ceilinged classroom you glance into, there are more young, earnest, black-clad architects, jammed together at row upon row of computer screens running state-of-the-art modelling programs, their eyes swivelling nervously in case it's the boss breezing in. There are 136 of them here, and others in Italy, Germany and China. The firm has doubled in size in a year. Zaha owns all of it. And she is no longer ill at ease. She may play hard to get, but she loves the media attention.
Now we have a big exhibition of Zaha's work in one of art and architecture's holiest shrines: the spiralling galleries of Frank Lloyd Wright's original Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan. The museum's director, Thomas Krens, collects architects as much as art. He knows when people hit critical mass. That moment, for Zaha, is now.
"The world of architecture has changed incredibly – it's really remarkable," she says. "In our case, perseverance paid off." Ah, but there's more to it than that. Why is it that there are no other women in her exalted position? Her notoriously demanding nature (bruised ex-staff like to swap stories of her habitually being late, rude, stamping on unsatisfactory models in the office, smashing computers, making hotel managers' lives hell) inevitably means that she gets described as a diva. Her male rivals who behave much the same – though usually with less style – don't get that label. In truth we kind of want Zaha to act like Mariah Carey, and she does not disappoint.
But away from that stereotype, it's all about working in a man's world. Architecture and family life don't mix well for women. She's single, and her private life remains private. "There are plenty of female doctors and lawyers, and they work crazy hours. But one of the problems with architecture is that you can't stop and start. There needs to be continuity in the progress of the work, whether you're male or female. But let's put it this way. No matter how much progress has been made, there is still a world that women are prohibited from entering. Not because men don't want you there. But there's still a kind of taboo. Men go to get clients, they go golfing, canoeing, yachting, doing sport together …."
She laughs, no doubt thinking as I am of the sheer impossibility of ultra-metropolitan Zaha bonding with a client while, say, paintballing or white-water rafting. So she operates differently. She gets her work through talent, graft, and force of personality. Oh, and she can flirt with the best of them.
The world's best buildings are decided by competition among the architectural A-list and for the past few years, Zaha and her team have been winning swathes of them. An art gallery or museum here. A library or factory there. Strangely contorted office towers in Milan. A spiralling arrangement of university and conference buildings in Barcelona. An opera house like some poised Stealth spacecraft in Guangzhou, China. A cable-car station. A ski jump. A concert hall. A rippling wave of a building for London's 2012 Olympics. Complete masterplans for districts of Istanbul and Singapore. There are many more, here, there, and everywhere. You start to wonder: how can she keep up this pace?
So hot is Zaha right now that a prototype table she designed for the modishly-named new English furniture company Established and Sons sold at auction in New York at the turn of the year for an astonishing $296,000 dollars. OK, so the fluid, ghostly "Aqua" table with its blue silica-gel top is a tour-de force, a piece of advanced architecture in miniature. But what's so valuable about her name? When she won the $100,000 Pritzker Prize in 2004 – the first female ever to win America's most prestigious architecture award – the judges said she would have been famous if she'd never built a thing. "The sources of her originality seem endless," remarked the citation. But by then she had managed to build at last, not least a rather successful art gallery in Cincinnati. A real, working building. In America's conservative MidWest. Yee-hah!
One of the Pritzker judges, the veteran American architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable, said that Hadid "has changed the way we see and experience space." That is one big claim. How many architects can do that? Very few. Most just dress it up a bit, make it nice if you're lucky. Zaha is rather more physical. She takes space in her hands and kneads it like dough, or slices it up like freshly prepared vegetables. Floors swoop, walls lean, ceilings fly away, outside and inside get all mixed up. Your expectations are confounded. "It's about seamlessness, porosity," she remarks. But it took her a hell of a long time, some crushing disappointments, and some serious tantrums in the office, before she got to this happy position of moving in the world of movers and shakers and dancing dollar signs.
A few years ago, Zaha was, career-wise, on the ropes in Britain. Always promising, she looked doomed to be forever a "paper architect" – an artist or academic, not someone to be trusted with the complex and messy business of real building. She had made a stir at London's best architecture school, the Architectural Association where she had arrived in 1971. Frustrated by how little she was being taught, she got to set up her own department in an empty Covent Garden warehouse, and had the pick of the country's experts on tap. Hadid was always impatient to build. But it was decades before she could. So she became an architecture teacher. The world needed to catch up a little first.
"We all went to nun school, and the boys went to Jesuit school" she says. "Both my parents believed completely in education, because education gives you independence. It was a very liberal household." This was secularised Baghdad in the 1950s and 60s, where many a wealthy middle-class family – Moslem, Jewish or Christian – took up the Catholic school option. This caused the five-year-old Zaha some confusion. "They tried to get me to cross my heart and pray," she chuckles. "But my parents didn't do that. I thought, what am I doing, going to chapel when it's freezing cold in winter? But I have very pleasant memories of that school. The nuns got these brilliant professors from the university to teach us. At that time in Iraq there was a belief in progress." Despite the political uncertainty of those army-controlled, pre-Saddam days it was a fine city, she remembers slightly wistfully, with some beautiful garden suburbs. Given the extended family system, she could have combined work there as an architect with children, no problem, she says. She had professional women friends who did just that. And the urge to design came early.
"I wanted to be an architect since I was 11. My father's best friend had a son who did architecture, and he used to come and see us all the time. They asked him to do my aunt's house, in the north. So there was this architectural model in our house. I was very young, and I was very intrigued by this thing. I might have thought it was a doll's house. But also – my mother had great taste, we got this new furniture – Italian, late fifties, fantastic furniture. I was very intrigued by all this. I was beginning to see things that were different."
Her father Mohammed, a leading businessman and social democrat, was involved in industrialising Iraq during the period when oil revenues were pouring into the country's coffers. After the rise of Saddam and the Iran-Iraq war, most of the professional classes, including her family, quit the country. Though she still has some relatives in the north. So would she consider taking on a project there, as she has in previously war-torn Beirut? "Of course I would love to do something there. It would be great to combine a way to rescue that place with architecture. Iraq now needs everything from scratch. There's nothing much left. There's such a wounded society that has to be rectified first. But then with housing and hospitals and educational buildings one can start to draw architecture into it."
In those days it was normal to go overseas to finish your education. She came to London, via Beirut where she first studied mathematics, before deciding that, yes, architecture was unquestionably her thing. Thanks to her family connections, she was never short of a bob or two. I ask if an enduring story about her is true: that her family turned up in Rolls-Royces to her London graduate show. Well yes, she admits, one of her brothers may have. Oh, and so did a friend of hers. "My father would have hated to sit in a Rolls-Royce, he was very puritanical that way. People here thought I was rolling in money, but it wasn't the case. It was difficult to get money out of Iraq. It was a struggle. But, OK, I can't say I'm poor."
Her mentor at the architectural association was the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, who is now also a global superstar. ("Rem can sleep on planes," says Zaha enviously. He likes flying. I don't.") Nigel Coates, now professor of architecture at the Royal College of Art, was a student at the same time and remembers Zaha vividly. "Rem was very proud of her. She was his protégée, and he hers," he recalls. "They were very interested in revolutionary modernism. I always had my suspicions that it wasn't what most people thought of as modernism at all."
Zaha, says coates, was every bit as moody then as she is now. "She was always exasperatingly volatile. She always did take you to the limit. That's what we loved about her, and that's why her work has got that confidence about it. I always knew she was special, but I wouldn't have predicted that she would turn out to be as successful as she has. She's outdone the men at their own game."
There are a lot of anti-Zaha mutterings among other architects – partly because they're jealous, partly because there is a bit of a backlash against funny-shaped icon buildings going on. One highly successful British traditionalist architect, Robert Adam, takes the line that what Zaha does is not architecture at all – or even building. "It's abstract sculpture disguised as architecture," he says. "And it's very interesting, but what is the philosophy, the theory, behind it? Is she just doing these interesting shapes because she can? Once people stop cleaning them, they will start to deteriorate very quickly. In five or ten years they may start to fall to bits and you'll be left with some pretty nasty jagged objects."
However long or short the life of a Zaha building, at least she is building. For a long time this seemed a pipedream. Nobody in the 1970s was going to build the kind of buildings she dreamed up, which were heavily influenced by the revolutionary art and architecture of the early Soviet Union – the Constructivists and Suprematists with their starkly geometric paintings, leaning towers and houses made of intersecting circles. But then came what looked like the big breakthrough: in 1982 she won her first competition.
She was 32, and it looked as if she was on her way, winning an international competition to build a replacement for the Peak Club in Hong Kong. At the time, her jagged, splintery style and neo-Vorticist explanatory paintings mystified people. Was this half-hovering, bundle-of-sticks object buildable? Despite the reassurances of her famous engineers, Arup (they'd made the Sydney Opera House and Paris's Pompidou Centre work) people had their doubts. The scheme was never built. But her name was noted. A couple of small-scale buildings did follow – a bar in Japan and a little company fire station for the Vitra modern furniture company in rural Germany outside Basel.
The fire station was significant: Rolf Fehlbaum, boss of Vitra, was building an industrio-cultural campus of top architectural names. Fehlbaum gave Frank Gehry, later to be famous for the Bilbao Guggenheim museum, his first European building with the Vitra Design Museum. Earlier he had commissioned a factory building from Britain's Nicholas Grimshaw. Then came the Japanese minimalist Tadao Ando, then Zaha. All have become huge internationally: Fehlbaum's place in cultural history is assured. It must have helped her that both he and Gehry were on the 2004 Pritzker Prize jury.
1993 saw the second big opportunity. Zaha won successive rounds of a protracted competition to design the new Cardiff Bay Opera House. Once again, this was to be her first big real-life commission. But the victory turned sour as she found herself caught in a lethal pincer movement. Zaha cut an outré figure in Cardiff and some did not like a Londoner – and a thick-accented, olive-skinned, female Londoner with attitude at that – taking charge of a key Welsh cultural building. A local press campaign was whipped up against her, while simultaneously a whispering campaign got under way at the Millennium Commission in London, which would have forked out half of the money for it.
Zaha was briefed against. One particular Millennium Commissioner made it his personal mission to stop her. He put about the familiar canard that her design was unbuildable. Utter nonsense, of course, and today Zaha's design, a graceful courtyard or "necklace" of buildings, looks positively restrained. But the twin campaigns succeeded. On December 22, 1995, the Millennium Commission axed the project. Scarcely had the dust settled than they got a local architect to build a different opera house. So the whole sorry affair stank to high heaven.
"Some of the Welsh behaved abominably," she says. "There was a group in Cardiff – I never understood what their game was. Perhaps they didn't like foreigners, or women, I don't know. On the other hand there were others who were fantastic. I swear to God, for maybe five years after Cardiff, people would stop me on the street in London, in America, at the airport, and say – we're Welsh, and we're very embarrassed about what happened."
She reckons that the Cardiff debacle set back her progress – her acceptance – some four or five years. She had a wobble moment – should she carry on with architecture, should she jack it in? But there were lots of competitions to enter. She and her faithful sidekick Patrick Schumacher – the calm at the heart of the storm that is Zaha's office – flung themselves into the fray. Without Schumacher, it is said, few Zaha buildings would get built. While she is flying the world selling high concept, Schumacher is back at base camp, organising the troops.
And she has learned from Cardiff's baptism of fire. At the end of 2005 she found herself in a spookily similar position. She'd won yet another competition, for the £75m, 20,000-seat Aquatics Centre in the Lea Valley – to be the home of watersports in the 2012 Olympics. Which was great, until until Tessa Jowell, the Culture and Sport Minister, suggested in a speech that the project had doubled in cost and that Zaha had been sent back to the drawing board. This time, Zaha reached for the phone (and, some say, her lawyers) and got results.
First, an old champion of hers, the highly-placed architect Lord (Richard) Rogers – who had co-chaired the competition jury – wrote to the papers in her defence. Then Zaha received a grovelling written apology from the DCMS. "We are grateful for, and supportive of, the work carried out by your team," it concluded abjectly. Game to Zaha. She isn't going to let herself be the fall girl again when it comes to the politics of public building.
Back in the Cardiff Bay Opera House days, she couldn't exert such leverage. But she did get some payback. Was there a tacit admission of guilt behind the fact that she was soon handed another prime Millennium Commission-funded project to do – the Mind Zone in the Millennium Dome? The Dome was lampooned as a folie de grandeur of Tony Blair and his darkly scheming sidekick Peter Mandelson (though it was hatched by the previous Conservative government, lest we forget) but Zaha's was one of the better parts. She liked doing it.
"Everyone's negative about the Dome. But I have to say – the Dome was rather positive for us. It was the first time we earned a proper income. We had a very good experience trying to interpret the content of the Dome as an artistic installation. We could combine art with architecture, we did some interesting research on materials – I think it's a shame they demolished all those things." She pauses for a second. "And in the meantime," she adds softly, we won Cincinnati."
Cincinnati was her passport out of hidebound Britain, the art gallery commission that turned out to be the first of an unbelievable – and so far virtually uninterrupted – run of good fortune. Soon she was doing a tram terminus in Strasbourg, then the Ordrupgaard Museum of Impressionist art in Copenhagen, then an arts complex in Rome – and by then the jobs were coming so thick and fast it got hard to keep up. Zaha had always looked and acted like an international celebrity. Now she really was.
So does she feel as British as her passport these days? "I feel very much a Londoner," she replies. "It's always hit me how British I can feel in other countries. But with some other things – music, say – I'm an Arab. And I'm an Iraqi. It's not about being patriotic or nationalist. I can't erase those years I spent in Iraq. And I do like the country a lot. I had a very nice childhood. There was that wealth, those incredible human resources. Reading the papers now…" (she searches for the right word) "…it's unbelievable."
Having been mucked about by public-sector jobsworths in the past, she has now leapfrogged them too. June 14 is a date to treasure: Zaha, Miss Exotic, meets Mr. Prudence – Treasury boss (and supposedly next Prime Minister) Gordon Brown. She's building the latest in the line of signature-architect Maggie's Centres, the pioneering care buildings for people affected by cancer. Gehry has done one, Rogers is doing one. Hers is in Brown's parliamentary constituency in Fife, Scotland: the project is being launched at his Government stronghold, 11 Downing Street. The project, the patron and the venue all tell you one thing: now she's welcome here, too. It's typical of us Brits to test out our best architects overseas first. One day, maybe we'll give our talent an easier ride.
Hanif Kara, a rising-star structural engineer who has recently been compared in talent and ambition to Brunel, works with Zaha, helping to bring her exotic dreams into reality. He knows just how much she is worth, in all kinds of ways. "Across the world, I find she's the most saleable commodity in architecture, apart from Norman (Foster)" he says. "I'm one of the believers. She's been disproportionately good for us. In terms of shifting technological boundaries, she's pushing them hard. Ten or 15 years ago, it would have been impossible to build some of these buildings."
Why? Because back then, says Kara, there weren't the tools available to design her most ambitious structures. The Cardiff opera house would have been relatively straightforward, but a building such as her recent Phaeno science centre in Wolfsburg, Germany – a marching concrete sauropod of a building with a floor like a cratered moonscape – demanded a new level of computing power, and got it. Just as Gehry only got into his stride when computers got clever enough to scan his extraordinary hand-made 3D models, so Zaha has reaped the benefits of new technology. Her splintery early designs, radical though they were, were still made of conventional straight lines. These days her buildings are becoming more fluid, more rounded. That's computer modelling for you. Typically of Zaha, she's apt to complain that she and Schumacher are the only people in her youthful office who can still draw by hand.
So she is getting more ambitious, not less. Not everything she designs these days makes it – we should mourn the loss of her proposed Department of Islamic Art at the Louvre, a bold experiment in modern surface decoration clearly influenced by traditional Islamic decorative techniques but taken in a radical new direction, a tower skewed like a fish about to leap right out of its cultural pond. That was just too much for the guardians of the French patrimony. Still, she's got more than enough to be getting on with.
If Hadid's Iraqi childhood is the history of a lost world, and her slow rise to fame in Britain an object lesson in triumphing against the odds, then how would she characterise her roost-ruling position today? "Someone on Lebanese TV asked me how I got to where I am," she muses. "Is it fate, or is it luck, they asked?" She leans forward and stabs a victorious finger in the air. "Neither! It's hard work!"
There was one question I was, I admit, too chicken to put to Zaha face to face. So I texted her later. What about that office-tyrant reputation, then, I asked? All that raging and smashing stuff up? Did she recognise that and did she think it mattered?
Gingerly I put the phone down and watched it. Seconds later, it chirruped. The screen read:
"I am actualy too kind…its best if you ask the others no one talks abt that. Does anyone write abt the male tyrants. It's very understandable – and it's such a cliche. ZAHA is difficult. To whom exactly."
Er..thanks, I replied. The phone chirruped again.
"Trying to push ideas is very tough on all counts. Thanx for the effort see you soon ZAHA"
And off she flew to Manhattan. That's ZAHA – a life lived in capital letters. Very tough on all counts. Thanx for what effort, I wondered? Trying to get beneath her guard a little? Pushing ideas is, in the end, what she lives for. I think she punishes herself as much as those around her.

My prize for most unusual Christmas short story
This short story is probably the most unusual short story about Christmas that you will find anywhere. SNOZ is a pet rat that gets out of his cage at Christmas and plays havoc throughout the household especially with the Christmas Dinner.
SNOZ said "The first intimation that my day's activities were not going down well was when I climbed onto the table just as dinner was about to be served and hid under the meat tray with the Turkey......"
You will see from Diana Hockley's author profile that before she retired she toured Queensland with a mouse circus, which I guess also featured a few pet rats.

Amb. Rice Warns Moscow Not to Intervene in Ukraine
Obama's UN ambassador said US will work with EU and IMF to "restructure" Ukraine's debt
Kurt Nimmo
February 23, 2014
Obama's ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, has warned Russia not to send troops to Ukraine to protect its assets in the country, including a naval base at Sevastopol on the Black Sea.
"It's not in the interest of Ukraine or of Russia or of Europe or of the United States to see a country split. It's in nobody's interests to see violence return and the situation escalate," Rice said Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press.
She said it would be a "grave mistake" for Russia to consider using its military in defense of its national interests. The United States routinely uses its military to protect its national interests and what it defines as its national security.
"There is not an inherent contradiction … between a Ukraine that has longstanding historic and cultural ties to Russia and a modern Ukraine that wants to integrate more closely with Europe. This need not be mutually exclusive," said Rice.
Rice also said the United States will work with the European Union and "international organizations" (primarily the International Monetary Fund) to restructure the Ukrainian economy.
The Rest…HERE

This is a flash back. Long time back, when I was in my 12th std.
It was our school trip to Hyderabad. And one of the most important structure or monument here is the Golconda Fort.
Golconda, as the name says in Telugu, is Sheperd's Hill. For the idol, found by a shepherd, this hill has this name. This fort was built in the 16th century by the Qutub Shahi Rulers.
This place was known for its diamond rich mines in earlier times. The famous Kohinoor diamond was mined here at the Nagina Bagh.
Even the hugest modern day building with several hundred floors and facilities, would stand dumb against this. There are numerous specialties here. Pretty more than any present day comfortable building, but still a lot eco friendly and cost effective too.
Acoustics effects are great in this fort. I can give few examples now. One is that a clap at the Fateh Darwaza, an entrance, right below the central floral design on the ceiling would resonate perfectly at a point on the fort wall at 300 feet height atop the fort. See the pic, it's those two points. This was a perfect idea to convey a message from the base to the fort within seconds, without wasting time or energy. If you got the point, this is the mother of the invention of the present day Cell phone…!!!
The second is in the acoustics room in here in the fort, the sounds made at one corner of the room are perfectly audible in the diagonally opposite corner. So, what's new in this? Anywhere, this is possible. Ok, let me explain it more clearly. Even if you make a small sound, a whisper, even a flutter of a fabric, made facing the dead corner, would be perfectly audible in the wall in the absolutely diagonal corner. This helped them to share secrets even if the room is highly crowded, without anyone's least suspicion. Now that is… simple, the mother of invention of a Wireless…!!!
The third example for sound engineering is, in another acoustics room here, the slightest disturbance causes vibrations all over the room. A whisper or even a scratch on the head...!!!
Is it only acoustics, that is great here? No… There is a room in here that is called the AC Room. Well, new names for layman understanding. Whatever... This room has 2 chairs of stones, one for the king and another for the king. All the air that reaches these chairs, are so cool, after taking all the twists and turns and becomes cool from even if its scorching heat outside.
The lavatory facility here is in par with any star hotel of today. There are provisions to transport hot water and cold water in 2 pipes separately, to the bathroom. Not just bathroom, but to many other rooms. This fort being at a height of 120 m from the ground, imagine water being carried to this height in two different temperatures.
The toilets here are just like the modern day Indian lavatory, with foot rests too. The pit is 30 feet deep. Our guide actually lighted a match stick and dropped it in to shop us the depth of it. Still, it was quite strange at the back out the mind which said, "You are awe inspired by the place where the nawabs shit". Ahem… Forget it…
Apart from the technical marvel, there are other things of interest too, apart from the usual symbols of any fort – cannons, cannon balls, spears etc. etc. etc.
The 7 feet long rifle, at the armor hall display, is a piece of functional art.
In the period of the Qutub Shahi Dynasty, the soldiers were selected with great care. Their eligibility – 7 feet tall and ability to lift the 145 kg cubical rock here with a single hand. Well, we did try, 7/8 of us with both the hands. No… The rock did not even nudge a mm. Sobs!
Then is the St.Ramdoss Jail. St. Ramdoss was arrested here in this fort for religious reasons, coz he didn't take the permission to construct a certain temple. Still, even being in this fort, he continued his prayers and hymns and not only that. He also started sculpting figurines on the wall with a stone.
Again, religious tolerance was skyhigh. Inspite of the several decades of Sultanate reign, the Jagadamba temple within the fort is left untouched, and it stands till date for us to take her blessings.
There were 3 routs to reach the top of the fort earlier they say, one of which is unused now. All these routes have rest houses for the palanquin bearers. Also, while employing them, the front bearers are shorter than the back bearers so as to keep the palanquin horizontal.
From right atop the fort, the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad are a visual treat.
Just at 2 km from the Golconda Fort are the tombs of the Qutub Shahi Rulers. There are 7 tombs in all from Mohd. Quli followed by his heirs.
A specialty here is that from the tomb of Mohd. Quli, all the other tombs could be seen.
Well, then coming soon with the other places of interest in Pearl City.
Golconda Fort
From Hyderabad – 11 km
Nearest Bus Stop – Golconda Bus Stop
Routes – Via afzalgunj and Karvan or via Mallepally and Saftarjung
Mohd. Quli Tomb
From Golconda Fort – 2 km
Dedicated to my dearest, nearest, sweetest School pals and teachers...

Continuing to recognize Alfred State students for their leadership and academic excellence, the college's chapter of the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) recently held its fourth biannual induction ceremony.
The induction was hosted by Director of Student Engagement Troy Morehouse and Residence Hall Director John Lehman, the chapter advisors, as well as Dennis Contreras, nursing, Dansville; Austin Oakes, heavy equipment operations, Blossvale; and Anthony Dietz, heavy equipment operations, Nunda. The night was put together through the hard work and dedication of these gentlemen and went off without a hitch.
According to Morehouse, the induction of the spring 2019 class was special because 70 student members were inducted, which means that around 70 percent of the overall current class is new. This figure is well above the 25 to 30 percent that is seen as the national average. The induction was also special because the chapter was able to honor more than 120 graduating seniors who are a part of NSLS.
New student inductees included:
Nicole Ahle, Jalynn Ashdown, Jillian Augustyn, Keegan Baxter, Emily Benes, Caleb Bieser, Tristin Brown, Aboubacar Camara, Elizabeth Childs, Molly Cole, Catherine Corrigan, Ruth Crowley, Keith Delehanty, Robert Demarco, Anthony Dietz, Madeline Dorey, Alex Dougherty, Alexander Dutton, Brad Erdman, Spencer Fisher, Nathan Fox, Katherine Frascella, Alexander Gartland, Shane Guarriello, Gavin Hamilton, Alexis Hinds, Josh Jacobs, Vanessa Jacobs, Brian Johnson, Allan Jones, Richard Jones, Ronald Jones, Justin King, Taniea Lewis, Ashley Loper, Jacob McGhan, Hannah Metcalf, Ryan Mikolajczyk, Kevin Miller, Alfred Musto III, Lorianna Niemirow, Austin Oakes, Deborah Oliveira, Janu Patel, Nicholas Pecoraro, Joseph Piccolo, Connor Pingitore, Karl Platt IV, Jameek Rivers, Frank Rosati, Alexa Sass, Kameron Scottow, Sarah Sheppard, Ryan Shipherd, Jonathan Silsby, Colin Smith, Declan Smith, Ashlyne Sullivan, Braedon Thisse, Garrett Thompson, Jesse Tinker, Taylor Van Epps, Jacob Weaver, Jordan Wetherwax, Zachary Wheeler, Kyle Wiedemann, Carolyn Wright, Alexander Wuerch, Eric Zamor, and Kyle Zawadzki.
Highlights of the evening included Jack Jones, Building Trades Department chair, giving the keynote address and touching on the topic of how to be a leader. Jones received the Excellence in Teaching Award, as well as an honorary membership.
Another highlight was Coordinator of Student Activities Brittany Richards giving a special guest speech about passion. Richards also received the Excellence in Service to Students Award, as well as an honorary membership.
"We are very proud to say that after this graduation we will have over 200 alumni and over 100 active students who are still involved with NSLS," Morehouse said. "We are looking forward to what the future holds for our Alfred State chapter of NSLS, and are very hopeful that we can keep on an upward trend of continually raising the bar when it comes to the number of students that are inducted. Here is to hitting the ground running with our best foot forward for the NSLS!"

The Curry Thief
The cook, the thief, the landlord and his wife
"Brother, so sorry it's gone...we couldn't resist".
The landlord's wife offered my Uncle Abbu an apologetic gesture, her painted eyebrows crinkled in her furrowed forehead and her lipstick smudged teeth struggled to make an appearance in her thin guilty smile. Standing in the kitchen he passed his eyes beyond her broad sari'd frame and his eyes widened in comic disbelief. The pan he'd left on the top shelf from the night before was empty, wiped clean with the efficiency of soft hot chapattis. He saw her fractured nail polish and her cuticles convicted her, they glowed yellow from the turmeric he'd used in the chicken curry recipe he'd lovingly prepared the night before.
It was this pot of promise that had got him through his 12 hour shift working the looms at Brentford Nylons. It would be the comfort of this dish that would assuage his hunger and longing for home where his wife and children were thousands of miles away in Karachi.
Returning her pleading eyes with his despair she babbled to fill the silence "brother", the endearment didn't soften his tired expression, "it was the smell, it just became too much, we just tasted a little and then little Rani wanted some and then.." she shrugged her shoulders in submission. The chicken curry had wrestled the entire family and their impromptu guests to the ground and satiated their desire. "But I can buy some more chicken tomorrow and I'll cook." Abbu's speechless expression shifted to panic, Mrs Singh's cooking was so bad that even the birds avoided leftovers in the garden. Instead Abbu suggested he teach them to cook his 'stolen chicken'. Her head nodded as if detached from her body and Abbu resolved to console his loss in a pint and a mixed grill at the Osterley pub. The following evening, Najar Singh and his family crowded into the coffee coloured kitchen and watched Abbu as he layered aromatics with spices and folded in yoghurt, dressing the curry chicken in a silky sheen as it combined with the oil. "Achar...so many spices Brother?" Lowering his tasting spoon Abbu simply answered, "It's just how I cook."
Serves a hungry 4 or more
- I kg chicken, either boneless or jointed
- 2 medium onions, chopped in tiny pieces
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped into small chunks
- 1 tbs coarsely chopped garlic
- 1 tbs grated ginger
- 3/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 300 gm fork whipped natural 'live' yoghurt
- 3 green finger chillies, chopped
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 3 geen cardamom pods
- 6 cloves
- 1 tsp garam masala (packet or freshly blended)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Corn oil
- Fist of coriander leaves to garnish
For the marinade, mix the yoghurt, salt, turmeric and the chopped chillies plus a tablespoon of oil. Chop up or joint the chicken and coat it in the marinade and leave covered to stand at room temperature for an hour (to prevent it from splitting when cooked). Chop the onion and tomatoes into small chunks and reserve. In a large pan over a medium heat theatrically glug in some oil and pop in the coriander and cumin seeds plus the cardamom, cloves, a little salt and onions, frying until the onions brown a little.
Next, drop in the ginger and garlic and cook for approximately 5, gently stirring then add the chopped tomatoes and garam masala, stirring for another 5 minutes or so until the mix is bubbling gently and on the verge of being a little sticky. Now it's time for the chicken to join the party, (but hold back 2 tbs of the yoghurt mix) so add the pieces and fry on high for 3/4 minutes until the meat has turned from raw to white. Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook for a further 25 minutes, adding a little water to stop it from sticking, check regularly and fold in the rest of the yoghurt after 10 minutes. Keep an eye on this dish and make sure that you regularly stir it to keep the yoghurt from splitting. Either serve straight away, (or keep for the next day, tends to taste better) garnishing with coriander.

(To read Chain Of Rules Act I, Act II, Act III or Act IV)
That first, shrill "EhhhhhHHHH!" when I roll Leigh's nipples between my thumb and pointer finger is just divine.
And when those nipples are sitting atop arched, taut and thrust out breasts that are helpless against my whims and perversions, all the better. I adore, just fucking adore, how rigid they become when firmly rolled back and forth between my fingers.
It would seem like such a sophomoric play, but in actuality those two nipples present a multitude of erotic possibilities with potential to not just arouse but also torment, even torture them and their owner. So many variables to play with. How firmly do I squeeze them? Are they exceptionally hard? Do I gently apply pressure and tug on them, or perhaps pinch them? And if so, quickly or slowly, and for now long? Just once, or over and over and…
…it's a lot of sadistic fun making Leigh a sopping mess this way.
And it does make her juices run. Many times a good nipple play session is all that is needed to ensure a wet, sloppy fuck.
(if you don't believe me, after you finish this Act check out SDS. You'll see)
Her stretched areola wrinkled like old newspaper beneath their proud, pointy head lines. Tweaking the intersection where nipples start and areola ends was especially fun, a whole new level of pain. To which Leigh added plenty of frantic squirming, pulling against the chains, pouty huffs of frustration and just general erotic misery in every conceivable fashion.
She may say she hates this, but she fucking loves it. And the aroma permeating the candlelit night air from her ripening cunt testified on my behalf, not hers.
Arousal by Nipple Torture. The verdict? Guilty. Her sentence? Hard time.
But that would be later. Right now court was still in session, with yours truly acting as judge, jury and executioner.
I pressed the fullness of my body against hers to not just lessen her ministrations but also savor them. Its one thing to watch and feel a part of her anatomy twist in the winds of sadomasochistic breast play, but to almost be an extension of her skin is quite another. It was if we were dancing, a most erotic, perverted dance but still two bodies moving in unison with one leading.
The intensity of her bound gyrations, laments and reactions to my hands on her nipples while my mouth devoured the nape of her neck was surreal. Her ass cheeks made short work of making my cock long, the hardness pressing almost painfully through the zipper of the faded jeans that stood between it and her flesh. She felt my arousal growing, both physically and emotionally, and was feeding off it just as I fed off her own soaked reaction.
With my mouth now adding a third way to abuse her, it was almost rhythmic how teeth, lips, breath, fingers, tongue and my mind were making her dance like a puppet on a chain.
"You fucking love this, don't you cunt?" I whispered to her while grazing her earlobe between my teeth.
Silence except for the tunnnnggg sound of the chains being pulled tighter by her efforts to avoid my tactile and oral attack.
I squeezed both nipples hard. Pulling. Twisting. My fingers felt as if they touched. Add in a rather firm bite of her neck at the same time and..
""AaaaaHHHHHHH!!!!" she cried out, obviously in pain.
After a quick release, I did it again. Harder.
"ShhhsshhSSSttTHHTHHSSTHHH!!!" was the outright hiss that escaped through her tightly clenched teeth, followed by panting and rapid, short breaths ragged with adrenaline and saliva. Now that I had her fucking attention I asked her again.
"You fucking love this, DON'T you cunt?"
"Yes Sir…" she quickly yet meekly offered.
Much better. I smiled, pleased.
Not long after some final tugs, twists and pinches she noticeably braced herself when my fingers left her nipples and all they could feel were the fingernails of my pointer fingers coiled tight against my thumbs.
She knew that sensation meant one thing.
That her delicate and already sore nipples were going to be flicked.
Go ahead. Right now. You don't have to do it to any part of your anatomy, but take your pointer finger, bend it backwards and tuck it into your thumb's fingerprint. Pretend there is something you want to flick. Now, with a concerted effort, make your pointer finger escape the catch your thumb is providing. Go on, do it.
Feel that release? How much energy is being expended and in a controlled, precise manner? I am willing to bet a fair number of you did that to your own nipple, you perverts. I respect that.
Um, you can stop now.
Now imagine that after they have been not just severely tormented but also that they are tight, hard and helplessly displayed. Keep that sensation in mind as you read on.
When you flick nipples its akin to flogging them with a single strand flogger. A single strand of an otherwise innocuous item moving at a significant rate of speed, with its very tip the only part making contact with what ever is in its path. Which in this case were Leigh's proud nipples.
"Ohhhhhhh, you know what is coming, don't you?" I whispered while gazing down over her shoulder at the points of interest.
Her lip a quivering, pouty ledge, all she managed to utter was a pathetic whimper from somewhere deep inside.
Then I paused. And waited.
Did nothing but breath on her.
The tension mounted. Grew. Suspense permeated the room. Leigh braced for the inevitable. Often it's not what you do but when and how you don't do a single fucking thing. This technique is especially effective with blindfold play. The theatre of the senses takes over. The mind fuck of anticipation is mouth watering.
The silence was deafening. Our hearts felt like one.
flick went my fingers.
Temporarily insane went my Leigh.

Rugged Box PC for Transportation with AMD G-Series
Four PCI Express Mini Card slots each with dual SIM make it possible to flexibly implement the whole range of wireless interfaces such as mobile service standards GSM (2G), UMTS (3G), LTE (4G) and derivates and wireless communication standards WLAN / Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 and derivates. A GNSS interface supporting positioning systems GPS and GLONASS complements the possibilities.
The rugged BL50W is powered by a dual-core AMD Embedded G-Series APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), the T48N, running at 1.4 GHz. The G-Series combines low-power CPUs and advanced GPUs, in this case an AMD Radeon HD 6310, into a single embedded device. The use of the Embedded G-Series makes for high scalability in CPU (single/dual core) and graphics performance (various Radeon GPUs or none at all).
The BL50W is equipped with 2 GB of DDR3 SDRAM and offers SD card and mSATA slots. A SATA hard-disk/solid-state drive can be installed within the housing as an option. The system is designed for fanless operation at temperatures from -40 to +70°C (+85°C for up to 10 minutes), its special aluminum housing with cooling fins serves as a heatsink for the internal electronics and in this way provides conduction cooling.
The BL50W supports up to two DisplayPort interfaces with full HDresolution. In addition, a multitude of other I/O is available at the front panel, including two Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0, variable slots for legacy serial I/O (e.g. RS232) or CAN bus, general purpose inputs and relay outputs.
The BL50W comes with its own integrated 30W 24 VDC nom. class S2 wide-range power supply and is in compliance with EN 50155 and ISO 7637-2 (E-mark for automotive). The power can be switched on and off using an ignition signal on the power connector, and a run-down time after switching off the ignition signal can be adjusted by software.
The combination of the various CPU/GPU options with the available selection of external interfaces (realized via separate graphics and I/O interface boards within the system) makesfor an extremely flexible system design that can quickly be tailored to a vast number of applications.

Father's Table Grace Lyrics
Artist: Skeeter Davis
Album: I Love Flatt And Scruggs
As we sit at the table my family heads bowed low
My thoughts return to childhood and the finest man I know
He doesn't speak good English he's just a simple man
But when he's talkin' to the Lord even a little child can understand
I was young and foolish but the thought still comes to me
When I told daddy I felt I was old enough to leave
He sat there at the table and I looked him on his face
But he never spoke another word till he said the table grace
He said our graceous heavenly father we all gathered here today
To give these things of blessings so humbly we pray
Our oldest girl is leaving and I guess she knows what's best
But just in case would you stand by and help her to stand the test
Lord she's a little bit neglectful about church on Sunday morn
And when she gets with a wrong crowd would you let to hold her arm
And if she flies too high would you clip her wings
But don't let her fall too hard Lord I'm sure you can hand the things
I've tried my best from day to day to teach her right from wrong
And now she's grown to be a fine young lady and she always blessed our home
We pray dear Lord for guidance she won't build upon the sand
And we won't worry half as much if we know she's in your hands
And oh yes Lord it won't be long till I'll be coming home don't make mr wait too long
We pray dear Lord for guidance please cleance us from our sins
So we can all be together in heaven in Jesus name amen
The table was silent as tears ran down my face
And from that day on I base my life on father's table grace

Cargo liners are an automobile accessory most often used in the bed of pickups and in vehicles with interior cargo areas, such as SUVs, station wagons, hatchbacks and crossovers. Cargo liners for pickup truck beds are usually made of heavy-duty all-weather materials such as plastic or rubber. Spray-on bed liners are also growing in popularity for pickup truck owners. Liners for vehicles with interior cargo areas are generally made of carpet, plastic, or rubber.
Most car owners install cargo liners to protect their vehicle. Items carried in the bed area of a pickup truck can cause damage to the paint and finish as they shift during transit. When the paint and finish is removed, the metal of the vehicle is exposed to the elements, which can cause expensive rust and corrosion damage.
A drop-in cargo liner is designed to fit on top of the cargo bed and acts as a barrier between the bed of the pickup and the items being carried. If any damage occurs it will be on the cargo liner itself and not on the vehicle. Drop-in cargo liners have the advantage of not being permanently installed, so an owner can choose to remove it at any time. Some disadvantages of a drop-in liner are the risk that the liner itself can damage the vehicle underneath and the liner can increase wind resistance and wind noise, and even fly off if not installed properly.
Spray-on bed liners are sprayed onto the surface of the bed itself and bond directly with the vehicle's surface, almost like paint, to provide the protection. Because it becomes a part of the surface, the spray-on liner does not have the risk of increased wind resistance, wind noise and of flying off. Some disadvantages are that it does become a permanent part of the vehicle's surface and once applied, cannot be removed. In addition, the quality of the protection afforded by the liner is dependent on the quality of the personnel performing the work. The truck owner considering the spray-on cargo liner should do extensive research to find a reputable and quality contractor.
In vehicles with interior cargo areas, a cargo liner is much like a large mat that sits on top of the existing floor of the cargo area. Cargo liners can enhance the aesthetics of the cargo area and protect the vehicle interior from damage due to items stored in the cargo area. Cargo liners are also used to prevent the likelihood of items skidding or moving during transit. For this purpose, they are often made of rubber or similar non-skid materials.
Exterior and interior drop-in cargo liners can be found at most large automotive parts stores and specialty retailers on the internet. They are designed to fit in the specific bed or cargo area of a vehicle, so buyers should take the time to make sure that the liner they are purchasing is the right one for their car or truck. Automotive dealerships also sell cargo liners and interior carpet mats especially designed for the cars they sell. The added benefit for some vehicle owners is that many of these items will have the logo and/or name of the specific vehicle it is made for.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

I believe that at some moment iPhone and iOS tags were synonimized.
And later on I believe there were broken down: Break the [ios] -> [iphone] synonym
However, I think they should be synonyms.
Yes. In the ideal world, where everybody put correct tags on the question, people should use iOS to ask generic question about development for iOS and iPhone to ask some questions particular to iPhone (as example UI design questions).
However, reality is that people use randomly (and interchangeably) ios and iphone tag. And taking number of questions (120k and 46k) there is no reasonably way to separate them out.
Should these several tags become synonyms again?

How Dreams Analyze Dreams
Dreamed 1994/5/31 by Chris Wayan
I jolt awake from a vivid nightmare. I reach for paper to write it down. As I do, lying on my bed, early morning, notice there's a round mirror across the room reflecting an oval slice of me naked, isolated, from underneath. I see a scrotum, frustrum, and penis, all a strange gray-purple-rose color, wrinkled as a brain, the whole thing looking vaguely diamond-shaped and quite unlike genitalia, in fact quite unlike anything human at all. An alien growth of some sort... animal, plant? I think of books like MY BODY, MY SELF saying "examine yourself in the mirror!" next to photos of women looking in total shock at the unexpected intricacy of what had always been an undifferentiated "down there."
Well, looked at from underneath and isolated like this, male genitals are just as weird as women's--and kind of similar.
I get back to writing my dream. It was a long one, good recall for once. Rare lately. That's significant. For a long time I thought the length of my dreams was mainly a function of my interest, how many details I recorded. But I see now it's not so. Some puffing up or sketchiness of a dream-account can happen, but the variation is no more than 10-25%. I write what I recall, pretty fairly and concisely. So just counting the words IS a pretty fair estimate of how vivid and how complex the dream-events were. Short records mean my memories are being censored, since I don't stop dreaming of course. And there have been only two kinds of nights lately: thousand-word epics or nothing, very little in between.
This MEANS something!
Then I wake up again. That was a dream too.
Anyway--back to the nightmare I woke up from, that I tried to write down when the mirror distracted me. I bet you forgot all about that. Cocks and pussies are so much more fascinating. But I didn't forget. Of course I wrote the dream down, so I have an advantage...
So. The nightmare.
The protagonist was the composer Schumann... I heard he was a rather happy guy, and so he stayed a second-string composer. Not enough sturm und drang und angst... he wrote "The Unfinished Symphony." Does Schumann symbolize unfinished creativity? Wait--am I confusing him with Schubert?
Well whatever he symbolizes, I'm him--Schumann.
So, something goes wrong, and I, Schumann went to see what it was... and I was convinced up till the last moment that it was a VIRUS killing people. Just a health problem. We can fix it with herbs and vitamins. And then, below the villa, amid the vines and bricks and grapes and all, he/I reached the cliff into the void, and the monster leapt out of hiding. Not a virus at all! A huge, intelligent, malevolent being. With sharp teeth. The monster pounces...
and I woke in panic.
In the dream, I knew that the whole drama was written by Kate Wilhelm, it was a novel titled "Margaret and I." (A real novel, of course, but why did I connect it with THIS?)
Oh! hypnosis! In Kate Wilhelm's book, a man uses hypnosis to exploit Margaret, both sexually and professionally. And her unconscious LETS him, because it's curious and wants to try sex without responsibility. But even her unconscious feels trapped after a while, as if there's an unconscious under the unconscious. Yet... the secrets uncovered still lead Margaret to (relative) liberation. Not a simple situation! But then, minds aren't. At least Margaret's.
Clearly the dream must be comparing this to the hypnosis I'm trying. Yet my therapist isn't exploiting me this way! Is the dream saying the monster who makes me ill is essentially a second hypnotist, an internalized abuser? Or is the monster my memory of all the shitty shrinks and counselors I had earlier in life?
And I wake AGAIN.
All THAT analysis was a dream too!
And wake up AGAIN.
The paper is blank. All of it was dreaming. I have to write all this out again... before I forget. If you found this one hard going, think how I feel!
Over and over... dreams in dreams about dreams.

A common sight in home gardens, quick-growing zucchinis (Cucurbita pepo) produce large leaves that almost completely shade the ground and the developing squash. Often, the leaves develop a white discoloration on their upper surface. Although the white spots may be natural, they could also signify a fungal infestation that could damage the plants or weaken your crop if you don't treat it immediately.
Natural White Spots
Zucchini leaves have natural white spots that develop on the leaf surface. Each leaf is covered in small hairs, which may give the white spot a powdery look. Rubbing the leaf with your thumb won't remove the white if it's from natural coloration. Natural white blotches have no negative effects on the health or productivity of your zucchini plants. Wear gloves when rubbing the leaves, because the hairs on the foliage and stems can irritate your skin.
Fungal Spots
White spots that rub off are usually caused by powdery mildew. Some zucchini varieties are more prone to this fungus than others are. The growth usually appears as a white or gray powdery growth on the upper leaf surfaces. The mildew prevents the affected leaf from absorbing sunlight, which weakens it until it turns yellow and dies. Although a minor infestation doesn't usually affect the plant, severe powdery mildew growth can kill enough leaves to affect the plant so it grows slowly, fails to fruit or dies off completely.
Planting mildew-resistant zucchini varieties, such as "Ambassador" or "Wildcat," prevents almost all instances of powdery mildew in the home garden. Providing the plants with a full six hours or more of daily sunlight further prevents mildew growth, even if you aren't growing resistant varieties. Keep the foliage dry when watering or water early in the morning so the leaves dry quickly. Avoid overcrowding zucchini. Poor air circulation around the plants makes them more susceptible to powdery mildew.
Only a fungicide can combat powdery mildew after it infects the plant. Premixed horticultural oil sprays provide the best option for the home gardener. These sprays contain neem or jojoba oil, which kills the mildew while preventing future infestations. You can also sprinkle wettable sulfur on the plants before the first symptoms appear if mildew has posed a problem in the past. If you use sulfur as a preventive, you must wait two weeks before making an oil application. Only use oil or sulfur when temperatures are below 90 degrees Fahrenheit. To treat the plants, cover the leave surface with the oil or sulfur treatment and then reapply at seven to 10 day intervals so all new growth is also treated. Wear long sleeves, eye protection and a mask when applying any fungicides and store them where children cannot access them.

We love being able to share positive news with you, so please see what you make of this. It's a note shared with us by Michelle, mum of Murronrose whom we supported when she was a little girl...
"Murronrose, 15yrs old is one of the kids you helped by providing an alarm almost 10yrs ago when she started taking frequent Tonic Clonic seizures ,she also has ASD. We still have photos that were taken for the Muir Maxwell Trusts website.
Like a lot of ASD children Murronrose didn't have much of a social life so we were looking for clubs or such that she could join, when we happened upon Inclusive Skating.
Inclusive Skating is ice skating for children and adults with intellectual and physical impairments who hold competitions all over the world.
Murronrose took to skating quickly and showed a talent for it and in April last year won a silver and a gold medal at a competition. In November we travelled to Iceland to represent the country and she won another silver and gold trophy.
Tonight she will be a guest skater to a large audience at Braehead Arena and in April this year will compete at the Inclusive Skating world championships. Murronrose has achieved all this in just 15 months.
As you can tell we are extremely proud of Murronrose but you had your part to play to, you kept her safe during the night and with your help all those years ago she has gone on to do great things."

Where Can You Find Algebra Homework Answers?
Algebra can be a very challenging academic subject. The secret to algebra is knowing how to use the formulas. Simply knowing the formulas is not enough. Once you have mastered the formulas, you should compose and store the formulas and example problems for further reference and review. The composing and storing the formulas is easy, but make sure you put in your homework, also all you need to do is:
Buy a sturdy two-inch notebook and add tons of paper to the notebook. Label the notebook and make sure you take it to class and then home every single day.
Buy a set (or two) of dividers and label them by chapter, you can even divide the sections of the chapters with bright paper or tabs. This may take a while, but it is a great organization system for your composed algebra homework.
Put all of your homework, problems that re right and wrong, in the correct section of the notebook. Right after the individual homework pages, put the problems that you got incorrect and then solve each of them (rewrite) three times. You are building a library of composed homework answers.
Online Help
In the sections and chapters of your algebra book where you struggle, you will need extra help and extra composed homework samples. Write down the concepts that you struggled with, and do a search for those problems online. Use only a site that also has the answers. Composing problems with the wrong answers is no help to you at all. Do as many problems as you have time to do. Remember to re-do the missed ones and write them out three times. These sample problems should also be placed in your notebook.
Your composed homework and composed samples will benefit you greatly. For test or exam reviews, you can refer to the notebook. Additionally, if you forget a concept or a formula, you can refer back to your notebook. Studies have shown that doing problems over and over and that working with hard formulas helps to make the process easier. The more problems you re-do and then compose, the better your algebra skills will be. People will want to borrow your composed notebook. This notebook requires upkeep and it requires effort, but the end results are well worth the time and the effort.

A Lego mat
We are increasingly getting into Lego in this household. A few months ago I bought a mix of "Classic" bricks to go with our few other sets and since then there's been a lot of building happening. Sorting through the box to find one particular part is becoming harder as more pieces are added, so… Continue reading A Lego mat

TPM spoke with Bob Vander Plaats, the Iowa conservative activist and former gubernatorial candidate who has pitched the "Marriage Vow" pledge for presidential candidates competing in the state caucuses. And while he's not too perturbed that Newt Gingrich and Tim Pawlenty are not signing it (at least not yet), he's got some pretty strong words for Mitt Romney.
Tuesday night, Romney's campaign slammed the pledge, saying that it "contained references and provisions that were undignified and inappropriate for a presidential campaign.
"One of the reasons we put the pledge together was for a person or candidate like Gov. Romney," Vander Plaats told TPM, "because it's been well documented that Gov. Romney has been all over the board when it comes to marriage, or abortion, or universal health care."
Vander Plaats also added: "These types of no-commitments on my part to marriage and family, I don't think that's going to do his campaign any favors in the state of Iowa.The "Marriage Vow" involves a candidate pledging personal fidelity to his or her spouse, that he or she would change divorce laws to make "quickie divorces" more difficult, and would oppose gay marriage, pornography, and "Sharia Islam," among other things.
Two Republican candidates, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum, signed the pledge, and then immediately encountered controversy due to the resolution's original preamble language on slavery — which has since been edited out — stating, quite contrary to the facts, that African-American families were more secure under slavery than they are today, under an African-American president.
Earlier, Newt Gingrich declined to sign the pledge for now — instead wanting to work with the group to clarify other language in the pledge. Then today, Pawlenty released a statement saying in part: "rather than sign onto the words chosen by others, I prefer to choose my own words, especially seeking to show compassion to those who are in broken families through no fault of their own."
Vander Plaats told TPM that such statements would not fully replace the pledge, but that he would be glad to work with Gingrich, and appreciates Pawlenty's statement (which he had not yet had the chance to read, with the key quote being told to him over the phone during the interview) and invites the candidates to make their case to voters in Iowa.
"I think they're vastly different," said Vander Plaats. "I mean, Romney says it's undignified and inappropriate. Undignified and inappropriate is a long way from Newt saying i want my policy guys to work with Vander Plaats and his team. And it's a long way from the statement from Pawlenty that you just read to me."
