|May 2020
This building is located on Dumbastraße/Bösendorferstraße behind the Hotel Imperial near the Ringstraße boulevard and the Wien River, between Bösendorferstraße and Karlsplatz. However, since Bösendorferstraße is a relatively small street, the building is better known as being between Karlsplatz and Kärntner Ring (part of Ringstraße loop). It was erected as the new concert hall run by the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, on a piece of land provided by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria in 1863. The plans were designed by Danish architect Theophil Hansen in the Neoclassical style of an ancient Greek temple, including a concert hall as well as a smaller chamber music hall. The building was inaugurated on 6 January, 1870. A major donor was Nikolaus Dumba whose name the Austrian government gave to one of the streets surrounding the Musikverein.
Great Hall - Golden Hall
"As high as any expectations could be, they would still be exceeded by the first impression of the hall which displays an architectural beauty and a stylish splendour making it the only one of its kind." This was the reaction of the press to the opening of the new Musikverein building and the first concert in the Großer Musikvereinssaal on 6 January 1870.
The impression must have been overwhelming – so overwhelming that Vienna's leading critic, Eduard Hanslick, irritatingly brought up the question of whether this Großer Musikvereinssaal "was not too sparkling and magnificent for a concert hall". "From all sides spring gold and colours."
Brahms Hall
"In order not to promise too much it can be said that it has been made into the most beautiful, most magnificent, perfect example of a chamber concert hall that any of us knows in the world." This was the reaction of a Vienna daily newspaper in October 1993 as the Brahms-Saal was presented to the public after extensive renovation work.
The surprise was perfect. It was a completely new hall. In contrast to the Grosse Musikvereinssaal, the Brahms-Saal had changed its appearance quite considerably over the years. When and how it acquired that slightly melancholy duskiness that was known to music lovers before 1993 cannot be precisely documented.
Glass Hall
As a venue for events from concerts to luxury banquets, the Glass Hall / Magna Auditorium is not only the largest of the Musikverein's 4 new halls but also the most flexible in terms of usage.
Hub podiums enable the smooth transformation of the concert hall into a conference centre, the cinema into a ballroom, or the stage into a catwalk. State-of-the-art equipment for sound, lighting, video and widescreen digital projection provide the ideal conditions for half-scenic productions.
The Glass Hall / Magna Auditorium was designed by the Viennese architect Wilhelm Holzbauer. With a height of 8 metres, the hall (including the gallery) can play host to up to 380 visitors.

Accessing Singularity
What is Singularity? Singularity is the name of the EVE Online testing server (or one of them, the other being Duality). Commonly referred to as "Sisi", a lost of future update changes hit this server before they're deployed onto the live server. Examples include the Crucible expansion and, currently, changes such as a buff to Assault Frigates.
There was a time when getting onto this server was a massive hassle. Fortunately, CCP has made it a lot easier.
If you want to access the Sisi test server, simply go to this link and follow the instructions (download link is also included)
The instructions there are easy to follow, and it shouldn't be long before you're on the server!
"But TG, I'm on the server. What now?"
Most of the "action" on Sisi takes place within the test system of 6-CZ49. There's an easy way to get here quickly – most of the time CCP runs a bot to move people that join the "moveme" in-game channel. So do that.
The single station in 6-C is seeded with nearly all T1 and T2 items and ships for 100 ISK each, and also comes with a medbay. Set your clone!
The rules on Sisi are basic – anywhere in 6-C excluding the station and gate is a free for all. CCP has designated some combat areas (beacons) but expect people to be testing ships at a planet too. Podding is allowed. Other rules can be found here.
"But TG, I haven't got all my skills!"
Every now and then (be it after 3 months or 2 days), CCP mirror (copy) your characters and skills from Tranquility to Singularity – this is normally done after a major update to the test server. As such, your character and assets on Sisi may be up to 2 months out of date.
"Will my losses on Sisi affect TQ?"
"I've heard things about free skillpoints!"
Every so often, CCP runs a "mass-test" on Singularity (occasionally on Duality) – participating earns your character 2,000,000 unassigned skillpoints on the test server. These are carried over each mirror (up to 6,000,000) provided you've participated in a mass-test before the mirror.

What a lovely way to start the weekend! I was totally smitten when I saw this Anthropologie Inspired shoot by Kay English Photography with Sareh Nouri's gorgeous gown "Emma". Set in a lush meadow land, this shoot is a funky mix of vintage flair and bright pops of wild florals – with a cute pony at that! Love how this shows us that elegance and an earthy vintage vibe could very well blend in together.
Here's what the uber talented Kay English has to say about the shoot: "I'm so happy to share with you all our Anthropologie themed mini horse wedding shoot. The amazing and stunning lace gown was provided by the super talented Sareh Nouri Bridal. The super cute garden painted wheel barrel was perfect for the farm where we photographed and was provided by Anthropologie. Special thanks to Jen and Josh for being the fabulous models in the photo shoot and for being so great to work with! Finally, the mini-horses were the cutest things ever and it was so fun walking around the farm photographing them. All photos photographed were film and the scans were done by the amazing Richards Photo Lab."

The dichotomy between skills and degree has always haunted India. Nevertheless India preferred the academic structure over skills oriented courses and trainings. As a result we have mass educated unemployed youth that has become a mammoth problem for our successive governments to manage. India was smart enough to realise that skills development is the need of the hour. The Congress government laid down the foundation for a robust skills development infrastructure in India and the BJP government is carrying forward the same to its logical end.
In the past the Indian government took some very significant steps in the direction of making skills development an essential part of the educational and training initiatives. The government had not only allowed private training and educational institutions to operate with full autonomy and liberty but it had also ensured that they provide qualitative and productive training and education.
Perry4Law Organisation and Perry4Law's Techno Legal Base (PTLB) welcome these efforts of successive Indian governments from time to time. At the same time we would like to emphasise that online skills development in India would play a crucial role in making Indian masses skilled and employed in the long run.
The present challenge before Indian government is to ensure and promote skills development and entrepreneurship activities in India. We also firmly believe that the potential candidates targeted for skills development in India must concentrate more upon skills than degrees and diplomas that are merely academic in nature and devoid of any skills oriented trainings and courses.
After all if a person does not possess any degree or diploma but she is well skilled she may still be able to manage her own business or self employment venture. But in the absence of such crucial skills even the degree or diploma would fail to provide any employment cushion to her.
But here lies the real problem and challenge for India. We have very few skills development institutions in the real sense. Further, we have hardly few techno legal skills development and training institutions that are imparting trainings and skills developments in the fields like cyber law, cyber security, cyber forensics, e-discovery, e-courts, online dispute resolution (ODR), cyber crimes investigation, civil liberties protection in cyberspace, etc.
The e-learning platform of PTLB provides many unique and qualitative techno legal courses in the fields of cyber law, cyber security, cyber forensics, e-discovery, digital evidencing, civil liberties protection in cyberspace, e-commerce, e-governance, etc. Similarly, the blog on virtual legal education campus of PTLB is the exclusive techno legal initiative of its type in India. This is a platform that is catering to the needs of contemporary legal fields like cyber law and cyber forensics.
Interested students and organisations may contact us for enrollment and partnership respectively. We are also open for MOUs, Empanelment, Franchise and other business opportunities. Students must go through the application form and FAQs before enrolling.

The centerpiece of Passover is the "Seder," a highly symbolic dinner used to retell the story of the Israelites' plight.
CANTON Probably no one accomplishes their 10,000-steps-a-day fitness goal quicker than Rabbi A.J. Kushner, the young leader of Agudas Achim, an Orthodox Jewish synagogue.
Kushner is everywhere these days, getting ready to host a two-day Passover Seder dinner for more than 250 people April 10 and 11 at a hotel in Jackson Township.
Guests from several states are expected to attend. Last year's inaugural dinner drew about 175 people the first night and 125 the second, Kushner said.
Passover commemorates the Jews' liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt as recorded in the Book of Exodus in the Torah. The centerpiece of Passover is the Seder, a highly symbolic dinner used to retell the story of the Israelites' plight.
"It's the only commandment in the Bible that talks about giving hope to future generations," Kushner said. "Its purpose is to teach your children, your grandchildren, what has happened. The Passover Seder is the continuity of the Jewish people."
Kushner said his "super" Seder emerged out of a simple need: The communal Seder he and his family started hosting at Agudas Achim quickly outgrew its seating capacity.
"Three years ago, we had close to 70 people sitting at the tables," he recalled. "During the Seder, you get up two times to watch your hands. You have to light the candles ... I saw people not happy."
Kushner said large communal Seders are not unusual in California, Arizona, Florida and on the East Coast, where he grew up. Canton's communal Seder, he said, will see guests from Canada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania Columbus and Cleveland.
"The idea has been around for a very long time," he said. "It's expensive, but everything is catered. Last year was a great try and was something that saw a lot of positive feedback."
Kushner said a chef from Cleveland will prepare the food in adherence to kosher dietary laws, noting that a communal Seder makes observing the holiday easier for families. Prior to Passover, homes must be completely cleansed from all food products containing "leaven," or yeast, in keeping with the first Passover. The unleavened bread symbolizes the haste with which the ex-slaves fled Egypt. Some people even use separate sets of dishes, cups, and utensils that have never touched products containing yeast.
Kushner also noted that the observance of Passover is one of the six commandments in the Bible concerning remembrance.
"It's very well stressed upon in the Bible the commandment of teaching the next generation," he said. "This has made us into a religion. God took us out of Egypt for the sole purpose that we should be under his leadership, that he should give us the Bible, that we should be able to be free. Real freedom is to have a meaning to your life. Real freedom is to be under a leadership that has real meaning to it. In Egypt, we were slaves with no purpose."
Kushner said that when Seder is observed out of context, "it becomes a meal, not a service."
"It's a party, it's a meal, but it really is a service," he said. "Lately, I have seen people trying to sell how fast they can make it (go). There's actually a book, a Haggadah (Passover service guide) 'Passover in 30 Minutes.'
"The Passover Seder has more meaning to it."
"Next year in Jerusalem"
Rabbi A. Leib Scheinbaum, Agudas Achim's scholar-in-residence, recently wrote that the beauty of Passover is its continuity. A native of Bergen-Belsen, Scheinbaum noted that his parents observed Passover in 1943 in the notorious Warsaw Ghetto in Poland.
"During the entire time, they kept up their chanting hoping that the promise of 'L'Shana Haba'ah b' Yerushalayim,' (next year in Jerusalem)," he wrote. "Our national history is checkered with (Seders) that were observed under tyranny and oppression, as well as luxury and peace. They all had one common denominator: It was the religious experience of acknowledging our overwhelming debt of gratitude to the Almighty, our father in Heaven, from delivering us from bondage; and our national pride in being selected as his people."
Kushner said the latest outbreak of anti-Semitism is not just an age-old expression of envy, but a reminder of one's identity.
"You should appreciate who you are," he said.
"Unfortunately, we have these rude awakenings. I feel like when somebody walks past a cemetery and sees graves that have been kept up, they see people coming to visit, the stones on top, they see continuity," he said. "We're still burying people the way they were buried 2,000 years ago. They can't stand that. Today has turned into an economy bent; whatever's cheaper. For the Jewish people, our tradition is, it's not an option. Certain (anti-Jewish) people hate it."
Same elements
Kushner said that no matter where they are in the world, all Jews understand the elements of Passover.
"If you look back at the Passover Seder, you're eating the exact same bread, baked the same way, with the same ingredients, they ate in Egypt the night before they left," he said. "We're eating the same bitter herbs, and we're eating it in the same time frame. We've been eating it for 3,300 years. Every single year we do the same thing, the same time, in unity ... Some people think Passover is a such an archaic thing, but think about it: We're going to have great-grandpas sitting at the Seder, transmitting what they heard from their great-grandpa. Go back 15 (generations of) Passovers, and you're back in Egypt."
Kushner said Passover also is a yearly reminder of God's deliverance.
"We're saying, 'Every generation, they're going to try and get rid of you, and every generation, God is always going to save you,'" he said.
Kushner added that he hopes a communal Seder will help strengthen Stark County's Jewish community, as well as provide a place for some people to go.
"Passover can be a turning point," he said. "We're all in this together. We all left Egypt together."

While summer at Eliot Sinclair is devoted to bike races and running challenges, we are also a company of fantastic skiers and snowboarders. Each year at the end of winter, we take our families and leave for the weekend to go skiing at Porters Ski Field.
Small groups of ESP skiers and snowboarders cross the slopes and the kids have a great time on the magic carpet. We all also like to take a break and meet for a lunch or an afternoon coffee break in the bar. While some of the staff learn how to snowboard, dressed up in their orange 'hi-vis' jackets, the fearless ones challenge themselves on the expert-only slope of Big Mama. There are options for everyone!
Approximately 50 people stay at the beautiful Porters Alpine Lodge, which is located just a few minutes below the ski field. The lodge is situated in a great position on the mountain-side and with spectacular panoramic views accompanied by a roaring log burner in the lounge it offers the ideal conditions for a well-deserved relaxing evening after a hard day of skiing.
At the end of a long day on the slopes, we all meet at the lodge for dinner. With goggle imprints on our faces from the sun, we slide into a pair of slippers, relax back with a drink in the warm lounge and discuss each downhill run and other important matters.
After dinner we play games and have a lot of fun. With new staff joining us during the year we all look forward to the opportunity to spend some time together outside of work.
While everyone is very busy during the year the ski weekend is an ideal opportunity to get together, get to know each other and enjoy some time off. A great tradition that everyone is looking forward to as soon as the temperature drops and the Alps are covered by the first heavy snowfall.

Building Childrens Furntiture – Lumber or corner sofa bed
One of the unhappiest experiences the home furniture maker can run into
is buying a piece of wood and then finding it's just a little too short.
Because of shrinkage and varying standards of mill planning, there is a
difference between the actual "net" size of dressed lumber that you get
from the lumberyard and the nominal size that you order.
You can also think about corner sofa it will be great for your room or kids room.
However, plywood is sold in the exact dimensions as offered.
Board lumber nominally 1 inch thick will actually measure from 3/4 to 7/8 inch
(usually 13/16 inch). And its actual width will be 3/8 inch less than its nominal
width, in pieces between 2 and 6 inches wide; in wider pieces the difference
will jump to 1/2 inch. You can also look for corner sofa bed for your kids room.
Similarly, dimensional …

Vadama's Madame Bijou Part 2
Here are the pictures for the second outfit of Vasti's "Madame Bijou" photo concept. If you were following a couple previous posts, I helped Vasti by doing some wardrobe styling for her Madame Bijou concept: "based on this woman who could never find true love and was just gaudy and wandered the world looking for it".
I put model Frankie Sin in the "wrinkle in time ivory dress", mustredevilliars grey tapestry coat, and gold studded pointy heels, black lacy tights, and lots of jewelry (coming soon). I'm just totally in love with this outfit!
The rest of the pictures can be seen on Vasti's blog.

After complaining at a lack of fit English strikers, Roy Hodgson has called up the joint top English goalscorer in last season's Premier League; Rickie Lambert up to his squad to face Scotland next week.
In other international news Luke Shaw has also received another call up to the England u21 side.
The top English striker in last year's Premier League finally gets the recognition he deserves.
It was unexpected but still wonderful to see that Rickie Lambert has been called up to the latest England squad after being overlooked at the height of his form last season. 31 year old Rickie's reputation precedes him on the South Coast, having been an absolutely crucial member of our side which secured back to back promotions and then established itself in the Premier League.
It is extremely rare for a footballer of Rickie's background to gain international recognition, once released by Blackpool and having never played above League 1 level until his 29th year, his rise to acclaim has been meteoric. His qualities as a footballer are now unquestionable having proven himself at the top level, more then simply a finisher his link up play and dead ball ability is simply first rate. With memories of James Beattie being wasted as a lone striker against Australia ten years ago and Adam Lallana's token call up to the nation team last autumn we can only hope that if Rickie is given the chance to play it is in a position that plays to his strengths.
On the day when Lambert has also been blessed with the birth of a new baby daughter, we can all wish that Rickie excels himself in national colours. Congratulations on the call up Rickie.
Follow Saint Luke Shaw has also attracted international recognition, receiving a call up to the latest England u21 team. Luke was selected for the u21 championship this summer but withdrew due to injury. Good luck to Luke ahead of what will hopefully be his debut at u21 level.

As it turned out, his participation was a classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He also had in his hand the rope which was allegedly used to hang the missionary.
Today his whanau say he was trying to help the missionary.
The deep ambiguity comes from the fact that the Mokomoko family had to suffer from loss of name. This was because Mokomoko's alleged action led to widespread confiscation of land and other disasters and he was, perhaps naturally, blamed for being the lightning conductor of misfortune.
Hence the bill today.
This is the link below to the parliamentary words which are worth glancing at, for the current state of apology calisthenics, especially the heartfelt or alternatively self abasing apology from Catherine Fitzgerald, a member of the Green Party and a Pakeha with a yearning for self mortification.
She is well meaning but doesn't really have a handle on the complexities of history. For example chief among the accusers of Mokomoko were fellow Maori. Their testimonies formed the entire case for the prosecution.
So it isn't a simplistic case of evil Pakeha and eternally noble Maori - like all history, it is complicated, smudged and more human in the way that things are mixed and messed up.
Interestingly not one member of parliament (but then let's face it the intelligence level is pretty low) referred to the Pakeha businessman who passionately believed in Mokomoko's case and tried desperately hard to defend him.
These human 'untidinesses' have to be deleted to fit the cartoon simplicity of evil and good - alarmingly to me, arranged on the basis of the colour of your skin. In other words, it comes dangerously close to reverse racism.
This is quite separate from the merit of the case.
I also have to be honest and say I find the terminology of the bill more befitting a Stalinist state. I mean - a bill to
'restore character, mana and reputation' is a little like something from the personality trials of the 1930s. It shares the same root branch: that the state can obliterate a human and the state can also revivify a human's reputation.
There is misery here, and poetry and a deep human need. But I am personally unsure whether this is the way to handle the situation. I guess that is the writer in me, the historian. I prefer the mingled truths - the fugutive truth - not the public declarations with breast-beating, trumpets and waiata.

text: I used to write short stories. I thought writers were supposed to, and some of the great short stories I'd read made me actually cry, laugh out loud, lie alone for hours, sing, miss people, look at a sidewalk as if it had just been invented. I wanted to create something like that. I also liked trying out lots of different ideas and formats — in different periods I tried writing one short story a week then, for a much briefer span, one per day. I learned a lot by making many mistakes and lucking into a few successes, but I don't think I ever turned myself into a short story writer, at least not the way I wanted to be one.

We perform stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy with a novel light source consisting of a fiber-amplified, frequency doubled laser operating with a 1 MHz repetition rate and a 530 nm output coupled into a standard single mode fiber to produce a tunable spectrum of discrete peaks via stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). Using peaks at 585, 600, and 616 nm as STED light we perform STED microscopy with resolution down to 20-30 nm. The nanosecond pulsed light source should prove valuable for all forms of microscopy requiring both brilliance and multiple wavelengths in the visible range.

Folks I'm so sleeeeepy.
Just cant seem to keep my eyes open. Have had a very long day and have a early call time tomorrow. We are in the last couple weeks of shooting of 3 Idiots. When we were shooting in Laddakh a little while back I had to wake up at, believe it or not, 3am! Now days its a reasonable 5am.
So I've popped in just to tell you that I'm really sleepy, so what I have been wanting to share for many days now, will have to wait some more.
Its so strange sometimes you feel so sleepy that its hard to stay up even to draw the blanket. Reminds me of the time I used to come home tired from tennis and fall asleep without even changing my clothes or eating my dinner. Then my mom would take off my shoes and socks and cover me.
Sorry guys.

Cornell design engineers were able to perform a series of transient simulations to develop a complete performance curve, enabling evaluation of a centrifugal pump design in only two hours, down from 200 hours, resulting in a significant reduction in product development time.
In the past design teams have typically had to choose between a slower simulation time for a full system-level transient model simulation or a less accurate fixed-rotor approach, said Derrek Cooper, product manager, Blue Ridge Numerics. With the new capabilities in the Motion Module, CFdesign now offers a more complete and reliable solution that is faster than any other options out there, so design teams no longer have to sacrifice accuracy for speed.
The significant performance increases the Cornell team experienced using CFdesign will have major implications for development of new pumps. Beyond cutting computer simulation time from weeks to hours, it is expected to reduce the number of pump castings that have to be made for physical testing. Eliminating just one of the physical tests could save the Cornell team as much as three months of development time.
With much faster running speeds, we will be able to do many more simulation runs in less time, said Andrew Enterline, design engineer, Cornell Pump Company. Well spend more time designing the product and less time and money in pattern rework, re-pouring castings, and physical development testing, helping us create more optimized product designs from the start.
In the past, generating a typical pump curve for the Cornell design team required 300 iterations at 1.5 iterations per hour to evaluate a single design, so the team explored options to speed up the development cycle. New rotational algorithms for transient rotating modeling included in the latest release of the Motion Module help speed up simulation time by 20x on a standard desktop computer, allowing Cornell and other design teams to more quickly and accurately evaluate performance curves. In addition, the Motion Module can be combined with the new CFdesign HPC Module to provide an overall 100x speed up. Cornell leveraged the power of the Motion and HPC Modules to speed up their design process by partnering with R Systems, a provider of high-end computing resources for research, to conduct their simulations on an 8 node HPC cluster setup, allowing them to complete 300 iterations now in only two hours.
About the CFdesign Motion Module
Several mechanical engineering applications require understanding of the behavior of liquid and gas flows as they interact with solid objects. The CFdesign Motion Module allows users to create a virtual prototyping environment to better understand these behaviors by simulating the way components interact and respond to prescribed flows. All the physical effects of the motion as well as the time-history are output for data review and to create animations for visual studies.
In addition to the simulation of rotating turbomachinery described, CFdesign also helps engineers model:
About the CFdesign HPC Module
The CFdesign HPC Module allows CFdesign users to harness the power and investment of Windows HPC Server 2008, enabling more design studies in less time and reducing the time it takes to achieve solutions for large complex models. The Module can be used with a small cluster, a data center, or service providers, such as R Systems to gain access to HPC resources.

Vampires and Halloween go together like candy corn and garbage cans–they just makes sense. I've been a big fan of vampires for many, many years (I even wrote some posts about them awhile back), and so I feel very comfortable telling you that nothing says autumn, pumpkins, and trick-or-treating like our fanged brethren of the night. I've compiled a list of my favorite vampire stories for you to sink your teeth into this season, but I have one disclaimer: these books have serious bite (sorry, I had to)!
My Swordhand is Singing by Marcus Sedgwick is a creepy tale that's ostensibly geared toward teenagers. Don't let that hold you back though! This book is spine-tingling witchcraft that will have you sleeping with the lights on.
Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton is a book that any fan of urban fantasy and vampires should pick up. The story introduces you to Vampire Hunter Anita Blake and a world in which vampires, werewolves, and pretty much every nightmare creature are real and some of them can even vote. Also Anita Blake can raise the dead, so there's that.
If you are a fan of George R R Martin, check out Fevre Dream, a sinister southern vampire tale. Unlike his Song of Ice and Fire series (more popularly known as Game of Thrones) Fevre Dream takes place in the good 'ol US of A… Albeit a historic, creepy, vampire-infested USA. There's also a riverboat!
And lastly, as a bonus: New Amsterdam by Elizabeth Bear is what is commonly referred to as Lamplighter fiction – it takes place in a Victorian age where magic is real and has influenced the world in unusual ways. Unfortunately, the Library no longer has this book, but I suppose a flurry of purchase requests could rectify that tragedy.
Of course, there are hordes of stories about vampires, and these are just my top three from the Library's collection. Feel free to suggest other titles; I could always use another good read!

The Divorce Process
The divorce process starts with the filing of a complaint (sometimes called a petition for divorce). The divorce complaint will identify the parties, state grounds for divorce, and request the court to grant a divorce. Under Tennessee law certain statistical information must be included in the complaint. This information includes: the full names of the parties, social security numbers, date of separation, information about any children, where the parties are employed, and the number of previous marriages.
The complaint must be filed with a summons. The summons is served with a copy of the complaint on the defendant spouse. The summons informs the defendant that they have 30 days to file an answer to the complaint. It also informs the defendant who the plaintiff's lawyer is so that they may serve a copy of the answer on the attorney.
The next step in the divorce process is the answer (or response). The answer allows the defendant to admit or deny allegations that are made in the divorce complaint. If an answer is filed, the divorce will proceed to the next step.
The third step of the process is usually discovery or settlement negotiations. If the parties decide to try and settle the divorce without trial there are several options. The attorneys for the parties can meet and discuss settlement or one of the parties can request mediation. Generally divorces that settle are far less costly than those that go to trial. If the parties do not initiate settlement negotiations, then the process of discovery begins.
After discovery, if no settlement has been reached the case will go to trial. At trial both sides will present evidence to help the judge make decisions. The judge must decide (1) If a divorce will be granted (2) How will the property and debt be divided (3) Will alimony be awarded and if so how much and what kind (4) If there are children, who will receive custody, child support, visitation, etc.

A reminder to masters, owners, users, charterers, skippers and crew of the legal requirements in relation to the wearing and carrying of Personal Flotation Devices, PFDs, or Life Jackets
Personal Flotation Device (PFD) Requirements
Marine Notice No. 27 of 2016
Notice to all Shipowners, Fishing Vessel Owners, Agents, Shipmasters, Skippers, Fishermen and Seafarers
In response to Marine Casualty Investigation Board recommendations, the purpose of this
Marine Notice is:
· To remind masters, owners, users, charterers, skippers and crew of the legal requirements in relation to the wearing and carrying of Personal Flotation Devices and the need for the proper care and maintenance of such devices as outlined in:
Marine Notice No. 45 of 2012 - "Lifejackets and Buoyancy Aids", and
Marine Notice No. 39 of 2013 - "Wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and Increase your chance of survival in the event of entering water".
Personal Flotation Device (PFD) Requirements
Every person on board should be aware of the critical importance of:
- wearing the correct size, type and performance standard of PFD to perform a risk-related activity whilst enjoying the highest level of appropriate protection,
- properly wearing the PFD fitted with a hold-down device, such as a crotch strap or thigh-straps, over the top of all clothing,
- recognising that clothing traps air which may cause a person not to float as would be expected and clothing absorbs water making a person heavier to support. The person may need to use a PFD with a higher performance standard to ensure that they will self-right face up and their mouth and nose will be kept sufficiently clear of the water, and
- following the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance and servicing that must be attached to and accompany their PFD.
Please see page 3 of this Notice regarding the effect of cold water shock and what a correctly sized and worn lifejacket can do for a person.
Legal requirements
All Fishing Vessels:
To remind owners, skippers and crew of the legal requirements that:
- every fishing vessel shall carry a suitable personal flotation device (PFD) for every person onboard,
- every person onboard a fishing vessel must wear a suitable PFD when on the deck of the vessel, or, in the case of an open undecked vessel, on board the vessel, whether at sea, in harbour or coming to and from moorings, and
- the skipper of a fishing vessel must take all reasonable steps to ensure that every crew member on board wears a suitable PFD.
As per the Code of Practice for Fishing Vessels of less than 15m length overall the following requirements also apply:
- An approved Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) capable of transmitting a distress alert on the 406 MHz band shall be provided for each person on-board and shall be carried by each person on deck at all times. Each PLB should be ready to be manually activated.
- Every PLB must be correctly registered with ComReg as per Marine Notice No. 25 of 2010 "Personal Locator Beacons (PLB) Registry" or any subsequent Marine Notice that may apply.
All Commercial Ships, except Fishing Vessels:
- To remind every employer of their legal duty to their employees to provide such information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of persons aboard ship, and
- To remind every employee of their legal duty3 to take reasonable care for the health and the safety of themselves and of other persons aboard ship.
Marine Notice No. 39 of 2013 - – Wear a Personal Flotation Device and increase your chance of survival in the event of entering the water.
Further detail on the wearing and carrying of PFDs in the fishing and commercial vessel sectors is contained in Marine Notice No. 39 of 2013. This Marine Notice is addressed to all owners, charterers, masters, skippers and crew of fishing and commercial vessels but also contains relevant information for the recreational sector. It reminds the target group of the legal requirements in relation to the wearing and carrying of PFDs, raises awareness about the different types and performance standards for PFDs, offers an extensive question-and-answer section on the operation of PFDs and gives detailed advice on the selection, servicing and maintenance of PFDs.
Cold water shock kills
Stage 1: Cold shock (3–5 minutes)
Stage 2: Swimming failure (3-30 minutes)
Stage 3: Hypothermia (after 30 minutes)
Stage 4: Post rescue collapse (during or hours after rescue)
What does a correctly sized and worn lifejacket DO for YOU?
Makes YOU feel safe
Keeps YOU alive
Stops YOU from panicking
Supports YOU even when unconscious
Supports and protects YOU until help arrives
But only if you keep YOUR lifejacket from riding-up!

Over the weekend, Natalie and I ran out for a little girl time. She needed a hair cut and I needed an iced tea. 🙂 While we were at Starbucks, I asked her if she wanted her usual – Chocolate Milk. And she didn't. Instead, she wanted to get a drink "like mommy". Now, my tea has caffeine in it. So, I didn't want to get her the same exact one but I knew that the Passion Fruit was caffeine free. I asked for a tall Passion Fruit Lemonade with one pump of syrup and crossed my fingers.
She loved it!
And I almost cried. Third grade really is the game changer for little girls. I kept hearing it all summer long – my baby girl was going to change this year. And it's happening over and over again right in front of my eyes. I'm embracing the last few months of pure childhood with my first born. Despite the fact that she is physically changing and morphing into a little tween with each passing day.
When can I get a cellphone?
Can we shop at Justice now?
I could cry just writing this… because I know it will go as fast as the rest of her life already. 8 years with a blink of an eye. Ok seriously, I'm going to stop because I'm super emotional as it is. Tomorrow school starts. The beginning of the end. I'm going to spend the entire day doing whatever she wants…. even if that means playing LPS until the sun sets.

Thank you to everyone who supported this personal, transcendental endeavor of mine. The show was a hit! We wanted everyone to experience the magic of the Goddesses, so here's a full YouTube link of the show, filmed entirely on smartphone. Like and share with everyone you love.

Broadcasting the Divine Feminine in Sarasota
I was four years old, standing onstage with my dance mates at the Fort Hood Family Recreation Center, wearing a white frilly top with red satin inlay and matching red velour skirt. White opaque tights and shiny patent leather Mary Janes completed my outfit. My hair, curls freshly unfurled from pink sponge curlers, served as a mane. Mom had painted whiskers across my cheeks. While the costume was more holiday, the performance was animal. I was cast as a lion amongst lambs in a story about Jesus Christ's birth. My dance was simple – a crouched position, a turn to the left, a turn to the right, then a full circle. Repeat. It was my first stage performance. After the applause and raising of the house lights, I knew it wouldn't be my last.
Flash forward to the eve of 40. I sit across from show director Luke Rosebaro in the WSRQ Sarasota talk radio station at microphone #4. Andy Garrett sits to my left, and Frances Roberts-Reilly sits to my right. The three of us are promoting The Living Goddess Exhibit, a production I developed early 2016 that was showcased on November 11th. For Luke and his listening audience, we share poems featured in the exhibit as well as other sacred creations.
This was my first radio performance, and I delighted to share at a microphone that wasn't propped on a stand on a stage in front of a live audience. Although I faced Luke, I knew my purpose for being there was to reach out to the listening audience – what message do I want to convey? All our poems were formed around the Dark Goddess in our daily living. What does she have to say?
To invoke goddess energy into my delivery, I took my favorite scarf – a gray sheer fabric adorned with black skulls – and draped it over my head and shoulders. Immediately I felt a tingle in the crown of my head, more to the right side. A sensation like an electrical current flowing between two points repeated across the area. I was tuned in.

From my collection, I offered ArcAngel, Lady of Blazing Dominion, and Reed-Girl. The beautiful poetess Nidia Del Mar, who embodied Kali for The Living Goddess Exhibit, let me perform her two poems from the show. The Dark Goddess infused me, allowing the words to flow with a lion's strength and a warrior's passion.
I felt good sharing with Luke and his audience. I felt empowered, able to perform without the ego getting in the way. After a successful day sharing our art, we touched a bit on opportunities in the region before heading to Simon's Coffee House for lunch. Our contributions will be aired on Saturday, December 24th and will be available online here.
Our visit to WSRQ was an opportunity to promote POP! The Poet Outreach Program I began to develop this year. The purpose of POP is to bring together artists of all styles, all levels of experience, to collaborate on unique projects and deliver community events across Tampa Bay. This grass-roots level approach embraces literary arts as a catalyst towards increased creativity in communities were artistic exposure may be lacking. Since we were in Sarasota I encouraged the listening audience to consider supporting POP! locally, and to contact our organization for networking opportunities across the Skyway Bridge.
Andy, Frances, and the rest of The Living Goddess Exhibit cast are eager to reprise our show on a local stage or setting in 2017. We hope our visit to WSRQ will stoke interest and draw supporters. Currently, we're in need of funding to cover exhibit costs. Your generous, tax deductible donations to POP! can be made via PayPal to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Monday After
I took the flower bouquets I received Friday night and consolidated them into one mongo bouquet on the kitchen island. The vase it rests in is the same one from the exhibit, a gift from lady Brigid, the Bringer of Light. I wanted to depict onstage a woman's womb and its power to birth beauty, thus the addition of the bouquet to the dais. Real flowers this time in the vase; they make me smile widely.
It is a strange morning. What had consumed my time, energy and effort these past few months is done, gone. I woke up thinking, what to do now? I took the healthy route and scaled down my interests just so I could concentrate fully on developing this creative piece. In doing so, I freed myself of unnecessary worry. But it's done now, and I feel a bit…naked.
Let's reflect on the exhibit itself. By the time I had horns on my head, I was ready to go. I had complete faith in each performer, on the attending crowd, and the spiritual energy in the theater. I smiled big the whole night. When I performed, I gave myself to the stage. I honestly can't recall doing my poetic recitations, but I know they happened. I remember looking into the crowd, finding the faces of my friends. I remember feeling the heat of the lamps pointed center stage. I remember feeling empowered, thinking, "I am good at this!" as I laughed into my next recitation. I gave myself lines and not one, but two sets of poems to recite. I did not mess up. I am proud of me!
The first poem I recited is an actual poem written by Enheduanna, the high priestess of Ur and first poet of recorded history. It's actually the invocation portion of an epic poem, Inanna and Ebih, In-Nin-Me-Huš-A, which means "Lady of Blazing Dominion." You know what I use as a mnemonic? Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory." I play the chorus in my head, then I launch into the whole poem.
The second poem is an original I wrote earlier this year. It's a poem about self-discovery and taking chances. It was a story I wanted to tell about me in the search for footing in a 21st century world. I figured it fit with the story of Enheduanna's difficulty in pleasing the world, leaving her unfulfilled. Until the goddesses hear her desperation, Enheduanna suffers the part. This is so common, especially with modern women. We sit there and stew in our troubles instead of reaching out. Yours truly is a culprit of this activity. Thus, I turn around and encourage the high priestess to reach beyond and find her potential amongst the cosmos. If you can't find inspiration in this world, be inspired by the worlds beyond.
Today I feel like I released a bird to the sky letting it fly and be part of nature. The exhibit belongs to the artistic ethos now, out of my hands, existing as its own pulsating thing. Today I should allow myself to breathe. Friday was a fantastic night. Today should be a quiet day.
Mountain Song
(NOTE: This occurred in May 2015…)
Once at Murphy's I am consumed with the idea of a beer. In one day I embraced mortality twice; surely, my libation limitations can be excused this evening!* Besides, the two male cousins before me, busy with setting up our pool table, have earned my trust, now and forever. I sip an ale and cherish the simple act of drinking.
A pool cue placed in my hand, and it's my break. As I line the chalked tip between the 1st and 2nd balls to my right, the green felt bubbles. I blink to correct my contact lenses, then line up again. The smooth wood rod punches through my left grip, a sure shot, but instead, I scratch. I offer a self-deprecating comment to my company and giggle, then return the cue ball to start position. I attempt again. I fail again. The pool table is a tide moving quickly towards shore.
No one else sees this but me.
I look to my love and consider for a moment telling him, but his response will be a logical one: you're coming down from the adrenaline rush, dear. This makes sense, except, I'm as calm and steady as I can physically be.
Perhaps more beer…
The cousins take to the table and I'm benched, nursing my ale, when I feel a wave of energy push against my right side. Moving only my eyes, I witness a furry, bearded man wearing a brown plaid shirt, hands clasped to his chest, eyes squinted inebriatedly. He smiles warmly then takes my hand as Jerry introduces us. "Ed, my name is Ed, I don't know if I said it already…Ed."
I find Ed to be comforting.
Jerry suggests we visit Ed's studio. A break in the action? Sure. Brews are grouped aside and pool cues are chevroned to indicate, "We'll be back." A right turn from the cloaked billiards room over to the smoke haze of the outer patio, down the slicked side stairs and into the rain, the same murderous rain from our descent earlier. The audacity, I curse, as I bunny hop over puddles towards the adjacent building.
One key opens one door, another key unlocks another, then we're in the presence of track lights and shiny instruments. Is this the universe interfering, or am I just plumb lucky? On the floor lies a six-string bass. Along the wall, a banjo, an acoustic and electric guitar, and a framed photograph. Jerry points and Ed blushes momentarily. BF doesn't know who's in the picture, but I'm well acquainted from my Kentucky days: the greatest picker in all of Appalachia, Mr. Doc Watson. To Doc's right is our studio host, smiling and squinty-eyed.
Jerry goads him to play, which I know as an artist, we don't need much cajoling to do what we love to do. Ed eases down onto a stool as I lower to the floor before him, cross my legs and cradle my hands, rocking into a cozy sit. "This is a song about a girl…" Ed starts as he fits his pick against the 3rd string and fingers his chords. The acoustics, so well tuned in the room, send me a fit of chills. He strums and sings with reverence as he shares his pained story, about the girl who moved on. My spine follows the melody and my shoulders meter the down beat. Where the cousins are I don't know, all I know is this irresistible urge to sway. Side to side, side to side, as the notes play in the white light surrounding us. His words mute and I hear, "There, there. You're all right. Everyone's all right," in a soft, wise, feminine voice. I'm cradled in a maternal embrace, a baby swaddled in a tight blanket of light. "There, there," she sings. The terror of the last hour simultaneously manifests, actualizes then dissipates.
I feel, in a word, remarkable.
My snake dance to the charmer slows to an erect sit. Ed has finished playing. I awkwardly clap, hoping it's not ill-timed. The cousins are ready to head back to Murphy's but not before I take a few pulls of healing smoke. We leave, without Ed, from the glow of the studio back into the steady rain.
*: minutes before this interaction, the male cousins and I were near-death, sliding down the face of the mountain during an impromptu storm. This is the recovery from said event. Hence the beer.
Return of The Dancing Machine
Happy 2016 to you! Have you started off right? I sure have! Let's catch up:
☆ I am blissfully in love and loved in return. February 1st our two houses become one!
♤ Mental health treatment is going well; a slow, careful journey up a steep hill requiring patience. Working on 'patience' too.
♡ Authenticity is the name of the game. I've scrapped the bent cards from my life deck. Working on solidifying my inner circle (invite only). Nice to have physical friends again.
The biggest update is:
♧ I am expanding my artistic base to dance! Pinellas County Florida is home to the Second Time Arounders Marching Band. Yours truly was a flag, sabre, and rifle-tossing member of Excalibur Color Guard in high school, and I still count those performance moments as the happiest of my turbulent childhood. So, the Universe provided me essentially a second chance at childhood – authentic, healing fun. You have no idea how great it felt to pick up a flag again!
Wanna see me in action? Check out the band's website for the official 2016 schedule. If you're in Tampa Bay for Gasparilla, the parade will be my 1st flag performance in 22 years! Come cheer me on!!
Here's a 1994 video of my last winter guard performance. Look for the backboard with Cupid holding a heart; the girl with the puffy hair in set position is me…
It's My AnniWORDSary
Just A Reminder
Sweet Lurline, Did You Just Pet Me??
Here I thought I had a sure project: a handyman I met through my neighbors eager for me to work with him on increasing visibility for his mobile business. Currently he's using Craigslist, but wants to get beyond that in order to attract a more reliable clientele and demonstrate credibility. That's super easy, I said, then brainstormed ideas on how he could turn his small space into a busy business.
We had a planning meeting over breakfast, where I asked a bunch of objective-building questions. He answered generously and eagerly, occasionally expressing gratitude for pursuing this work. At one point he noted, "You ask a lot of questions, like you've done marketing before." I smile at the compliment to my meticulousness then shared my various experiences working with small scale to national organizations pre-social media. Now, using my enterprise, I have the capacity to help small scale organizations merge into the SocMed arena of marketing. It really ain't that hard, but requires objectives and goals. What it always comes down to is, 'are you trying to grow your business or your likes?'
Later I reviewed my notes – got a list of business goals and links to current ads – but didn't capture his full name. Oops! Once I have him set up on the major SocMed sites, I want them pointing to him, not me. I don't mind managing them, I remember saying; ultimately the business would be ran by these tools and not his one phone that he's always looking at and answering when it rings. But, can't get to Instagramming without the necessary details right? Left a phone message for the client. Texted him directly.
A week passes.
He ghosted me.
Of course, something may have occurred personally which delayed his ability to return my call, I can take that as an excuse. But who in this modern society carrying a smartphone can't return a phone call or text message in under a week?
Once again, got stung by the good ol' "I have no intention to pay you." All expectations, no action, and how come it's not free? This is what being a small business owner smells like.
This very handy post came in Sunday night, which helped toss the marketing project in the mental wastebasket: So busy trying to secure the Next Big Project, I forgot I have my own unfulfilled project to deal with: get my book back on Amazon. Right now, you can't buy a print-on-demand nor an e-book from them, thanks to my butthole former publisher, but I failed on the follow through, not completing the necessary due diligence to keep the book in rotation.
This week my one novel deserves my attention. I shall keep you posted on how that works out. In the meantime, Nook Press has a downloadable e-book for $2.99 and there's an awesome soundtrack on SoundCloud, which I highly recommend you give a listen.
Have a great week!
Hot Biker Chicks of Pinellas County
She approached with heavy Megan Fox-style panting, not a single wiggle to her lean profile, pushing a three-wheeled exercise stroller with two well-behaved younguns strapped in for the ride. Her smile fanned the driveway, holding my gaze, interrupting the fill of my bike tires prior to an inaugural ride. Her skin, a scintillating coat of sweat which made me consider, if I was to bite her right now, she'd taste like crispy salted caramel. She's still smiling and I'm still checking her out. The left brain asks, "What does she want??" The right brain predicts, "My money says she's a nanny!"
Caramel approached with the pram. She sexily exhaled as she pointed out the deflated front tire, and could I help her air it up? I scowl inside: she's pulling the Hot Damsel In Distress on meeeeee? That's my move! At least she's close enough for me to admire her toned thighs and sculpted calves. Shoving kids on a run does wonders for the human form! Alas, no ass. That's Jenga. Right brain concedes to left.
The way the tire pump latches is too bulky for the small tire space, plus the receiver is funnily angled. Not gonna ruin my equipment for a hot chick, so had to send Salted Caramel on her way. Graciously she thanked me, waving as she bounced off.
I can get used to the suburbs.
We're two weeks out, and muscle memory has kicked the door down. I'm able to walk a mile with the Bobster and push two miles on the bike before my legs tire. At peak performance I was burning up cardio machines and playing in bike lanes for ten miles on average. We're getting there people! Santiago's Manolin springing forward.
That takes care of the physical development, but how about this big brain? The apathy I shared in my fisherman's post has tempered a bit. Every day I sit at my laptop and excrete the garbage getting in the way of genuine reflection. In reflection lies the idea, strong enough to stir tangible thoughts and visceral reactions into typed or written form. Just like thigh muscles, brain muscle memory is quite possible; the gift isn't lost it's just not exercised enough. Finally, a pay off. I really like the idea presented in my documentary post! Needs rewriting, yes, needs more carrots or potatoes, maybe even some Texas Pete's. I'll keep adapting it; you're welcome to offer suggestions as I clean up. So there's good news; the creative cauldron is ready to cook in!
Spiritually I'm indulging on companionship and doing it healthily. It's…nice…different in a good way…this pseudo-domestication that is cohabitation. Something about sharing a nap or a homecooked meal keeps the crazy kitties at bay, or at least, bothering someone else for now. Major Lazer was onto something when he produced "Lean On" wasn't he?
The Most Dangerous Blog In The World
I have always been in love with O'Shea Jackson. The way he carried himself, that street-borne braggadocio mixed with literary genteel, a marred Dionysus not outdone by our screwed up society. The crushing weight of discrimination, heavy to bear, yet O'Shea kept his shoulders up, his head high, never quite frowning. Bothered, but not broken. His Jehri curl, perfect.
Ahh me.
Cradled face on twin bed as my heart sighed towards the telly, ankles crossed, marking the beat for Straight Outta Compton. The rest of the clan: Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Yella, MC Ren, they were alright, but not the focus of my tween attention. Ice Cube was bad, but not bad meaning bad…well, you know the rest.
Of course I went and watched the documentary this past weekend, of COURSE I did! And please, whatever is causing you to be scared to go, don't believe the hype. It's just like Coal Miner's Daughter. A story of struggle against the status quo, of artistic starvation, of personal definition. The moment Loretta Lynn decides to write and perform a song about birth control, wanting to take back womens' right to be a human being and not society's brooding sow, she is forever marred. Instead of being recognized for her bravery in speaking out for the oppressed, she is demonized; her music, considered dangerous.
As I pass the movie lobby poster making note of 'the most dangerous group in the world' or whatever, I smirk at the thought of, who labeled N.W.A. as such? They certainly didn't. What they did with Fuck The Police was utilize momentum to take back the right to be acknowledged as human beings and not society's kicked down domesticated dogs. There was a scene that was so agitating for me I squeezed my man's hand really hard, then realized he was angrily squeezing mine back. Damn right, fuck the police, we both expressed in pissed-off embrace.
I knew I was going to cry once E got sick. His voice, his crowd command despite his tiny build, reminds me of my monster days. I let the tears flow then broke a selfish smile at the thought: "I bet you would've liked I Blew Up Juarez, E."
Straight Outta Compton the documentary did everything right. Honored Eazy and Dre; made me smile as I learned more about my tweenage boyfriend's skills as a writer.
I had my demigod Oprah's 'a ha!' moment at an early age, listening to West Coast rap albums, following Ice Cube's skyrocketing career, putting into practice what Cube was extolling: people are out to placate, not celebrate, dark individuality. My a ha was realizing everything is not unicorns and rainbows, and I'd be lying to myself if I even attempt to write prose or poetry without darkness. After all, that's the point of "gangsta" rap: tell the ugly truth, expose the pretty lies.
Great documentary; I will likely own it once it's out on Blu-Ray.

Tamale Pie
I snagged this recipe from my Aunt Susan and boy am I glad I did! Seriously, you guys, stop what you are doing RIGHT NOW and jot down the ingredients to make this Tamale Pie. This is my absolute favorite Mexican casserole to date and y'all KNOW how much we love us some Mexican casseroles around here!
This casserole was crazy easy and next time, I am doubling it and making it in a 13×9 pan because I know the leftovers would have been even better and we didn't have a single bite left. 😉
- 1 box JIFFY corn muffin mix
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup creamed corn
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 10 oz can red enchiladas sauce (divided)
- cheddar cheese, shredded
- Monterey jack cheese, shredded
- small handful cilantro leaves, chopped
- Fresh jalapeño, chopped (optional)
- Sour cream
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8X8* pyrex casserole pan. Combine egg, sour cream, creamed corn & jiffy mix and bake in casserole dish for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
Meanwhile brown ground beef & onion. Add the garlic the last minute. Drain grease and add salt, cumin & chili powder.
Poke holes all in the cornbread. Pour 1/2 cup enchilada sauce all over the cornbread. (Save the remainder for serving) Then spoon the meat mixture over the cornbread and top with lots of cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until brown and bubble. Top with chopped cilantro & (optional) jalapeños and serve drizzled with the leftover enchilada sauce and sour cream :-)
***I broke my 8×8 pan last week so I had to use a pie pan, it fit (barely) but I wasn't able to put as much cheese as I would have liked. Next time, I will use an 8×8 because Mama likes a lot of cheese

Project Summary Points:
New Facility for Worship & Elementary School, 16,000 s.f.
CHMP Incorporated:
Gymnasium, Two Classrooms & Library Added (13,000 s.f.)
This new facility was designed to serve as a place of worship for the Flint Islamic Community and as an elementary school. As a result of this dual purpose use and a limited budget, the design effort required maximizing the efficiency of occupied spaces by providing as many shared spaces as possible while also minimizing required circulation. The gymnasium, a small kitchen, and the administration were all positioned to allow use by both the school and the mosque.
Compliance with two sets of distinctly different canons in addition to the State of Michigan Fire Marshal rules and regulations were required throughout the design process.
Additional cost saving efforts were focused on the selection of the building structure and finish materials. The building exterior consisted of an exterior insulation finish system over concrete masonry with decorative ceramic tile accents around the Mosque.
CHMP designed an addition composed of six classrooms in March of 1997.
CHMP designed yet another addition including a second gymnasium, two more classrooms and a library.
