We should innovate because any organization can stagnate and eventually fail without change. But we should also innovate because it's a buzzword that looks great on resumes and library mission statements. How do we tell the difference between innovating because we have to, in a good way, and innovating because we have to, in a bad way? 2. How can we get around the creativity-killing anxiety that arises when we are told we must innovate (now!)? 3. Is there ever a time when something is going so well that we should stop innovating for a while? How can we tell? relAteD ArtiFACts British Library Research and Innovation Centre.

Weren't they something?!
I have pretty good luck growing things, and I have a pretty green thumb. More than a few people have referred to me as a garden whisperer.
But some things seem immune to my powers. I have trouble with zucchini and summer squash. That old joke about people having so many zucchini they resort to leaving bags of them on people's doorsteps in the dark of night? That has always confused me. The humor is totally lost on me, because I have never had that problem. I get approximately six or eight zukes from a plant, if I'm lucky, before the plant succumbs to its cancerous, painful death due to squash vine borers. I've tried every trick suggested out there --
- plant them earlier or later than usual, to trick the moths that lay the eggs that become the larvae that are the borers.
- Cover the vines with sheer(ish) garden fabric to protect them from... (see above) (but then you have to lift the fabric during the day so the pollinators can get in and remember to put it down again at dusk
- put mint or sage leaves at the base of the plants to repel the moths
- co-plant nasturtiums with the squash plants to.. (see above)
The nasturtiums, in my experience, work the best. Ish. But really, they don't work so much against the squash vine borers, but more the cucumber/squash beetles. 'coz if the borers don't get us, the beetles will, without the nasturtia.
So now back to the carrots. I don't believe it's the stones in the soil. I used to believe it was that -- plus, my soil natively is heavy clay. Horrible, horrible, hard, cold, unfertile stuff that won't grow much of anything.
But that explains why I have the raised beds, and the raised beds are all filled with gorgeous sandy loam with a high content of organic matter. So then I read over the years that perhaps for carrots there should not be much organic content. So I got some special soil for one of the beds that was low in organic matter, just for carrots. There are no stones in it, but the kind of gritty sand that supposedly carrots like. I still had the same rotten luck. That was last year. In fact, I got almost no germination last year.
This year I used the same bed, and I used heirloom multi-colored carrot seeds. I got good germination, and I thought things were going along nicely until I started pulling a few test samples. Then I saw that the same things were happening.
I believe I'm infested with root-knot nematodes. Well, not me, but my soil. So I could maybe go out and buy this expensive stuff to use. I've also read that planting marigolds in and around the carrots will help to repel the nematodes. And I could keep beating my head against the wall trying to grow carrots. (I might. Because I'm a gardener, and gardeners are a little bit into self-torture.)
I could get tall buckets and send away to England for some supposedly special carrot-growing soil and grow the carrots like this guy (Photo nabbed from that blog post without permission, because WHAT.A.GREAT.PHOTO! I hope they don't mind.) Thanks, Emma, for pointing this out! But then I'd have to remember to water the buckets -- that is a downside to container gardening for me. I'm a gardener, but not THAT kind of a gardener. Heh.
Is that a carrot in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Or I might just say screw it, use the space for something else, and leave the carrot-growing to others who can do it. I have to have something to buy when I visit the farmer's market, no?

In anger, the god Haulua creates a monster, Rau, who is now the ruler of the
Her friend, Elenio, who is her confidant and the man she loves, finally confesses his love for her and they plan to have a commitment ceremony soon.
However, before they can reveal their plans for the future, Rau sends in his minions, the Torloqs, to find Galen whose magic he senses. The Torloqs massacre the elves and kill Galen's father among them.
Galen is determined to leave the village to protect it and along with Elenio and her brother, Tark, sets off on a journey to find the sword of Lumina which was created by the goddess, Mira. It is said that the sword has the power to return Tormiro to the land it used to be and to vanquish Rau and his evil minions if the right elf finds it.
Every quest story needs a hero that you can believe in and Galen is that kind of heroine. She is strong and brave yet soft and vulnerable in her love for Elenio. She is willing to use her magic even at the risk of her own peril. She befriends Morgo, the cave elf who helps them on their journey underground and learns more magic from him. Galen makes quick decisions and most of them are for the best.
Elenio is the perfect man to love. He is supportive and loving and can fight his way through battles where the odds are against him. His love for Galen is true and based on a life long friendship.
Tark is everyone's older brother. He doesn't want Galen to go off by herself even if it means leaving his young family behind. He teases her and worries about her in equal measure.
Morgo seemed blah at first but his personality finally shone through as he spent time with our heroes and became a beloved friend and an interesting character.
Rau was completely evil and single minded in his desire to cause the death of Galen. He killed randomly and had no regrets. He does have an Achilles' heel however. He has to grovel at the feet of the god, Haulau and be concerned for his own life. I liked that Rau was afraid of the god. It made him more interesting.
There are a lot of familiar elements of all quest stories but I liked the way Elliot put this team together. The ending of the book was a cliff hanger so I am looking forward to finding out what happens to Galen and her friends.

It was Little Pickle's birthday on Friday and Mr Gherkin had the day off. We all went to the new swimming pool down the bay. The boys loved it (as did Mr G and I) and Cornichon was in his element. I initially thought that he would be clingy and scared but he quickly warmed up and was off splashing on his won quite quickly. I really wish I could take them swimming more often. I think that Mr Gherkin and I will make more of an effort to take them in future as it was so great holding them so they could 'chase' each other in the water. We went to Pizza Hut after the pool and had balloons and a pizza buffet. Everyone loved this too especially the ice-cream help-yourself bar for afters! We then went on to an amusement arcade and fiddled about on the racing machines and Cornichon and Little Pickle loved this - riding real motorbikes! It did not get any better than that! Cornichon took a shine to air hockey too. We saved the birthday cake until we got home and had it for tea and Little Pickle loved it when we sang HBTY to him. I really thought he knew that the day was all for him and that he felt special for it too.
Yesterday was spent with Mum, Dad and Sister Gherkin and Mr Gherkin's Mum and Dad. They all came here bearing gifts and I provided another birthday cake and some cookies and biscuits. We ate junk and drank tea and played with yet more presents and again Little Pickle was in his element. Sister Gherkin stayed over last night and we went to the pub. Surprisingly we have never really been to the pub just the two of us before! It has always been with Mr Gherkin or Mum and Dad. We resolved to rectify this when she moves here in July. It was so good to get out of the house without the boys and Jon! I need to get out more and just be me. I need to get sleep too and just be awake too.

hi sir can u guide me to good trading system for currencies and also good blogd to follow for currency.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Chetan,Delete
I don't have any information about a good trading system or a blog related to currencies :(
I don't differentiate between markets i.e stocks, commodities or forex. The principles of technical analysis will work across all markets.
The only thing that is different is the volatility of each market.
Can I get link to download Elliot Wave Calculator...Link you have provided is not help me to download Excel...
Hello Sir,ReplyDelete
Can you provide me link for (relative performance rank calculation file)?

Hello Sir,ReplyDelete
Am new to trading.
Have obtained theoretical knowledge on Technical Analysis. Plan to do Paper Trading before live trading in equities.
But dont know how to identify the stocks to begin paper trading. I mean which stock i can paper trade.
i planned to trade small caps with good traded volumes.
please advise is my approach is good if not suggest me a better one.Replies
Hi Aravamudhan,Delete
Yes your approach is good, small cap or large cap stock would hardly make much difference.
You just need to screen for a stock taking in mind the turnover of the stock. Trade stock with high turnover. Just look at the chart of the screened stock to verify whether it is liquid or not. The whole idea behind this is that you can enter and exit a stock easily without much slippage. You can quickly screen for the stock based on turnover from the link below.
NSE Sector Index Components Performance
Hope it helps. Thanks for visiting the blog :-)
Thank u sir for ur comment.ReplyDelete
Have picked CNX Nifty Small Cap but could not find the index in the below NSE Site path.
Live Market - Live Watch - Equity Stock.
Trying to get the turnover of small caps.
Also clearly understood that volume and turnover matters to screen stock and not large cap or mid cap or small cap.
But just thought of getting small cap turnover details but not getting.
Please clarify
dear sir,ReplyDelete
have read the book "How to Make Money Trading With Charts" authored by Ashwani Gujral. He suggested below stock picking strategy.
1st identify the long term(1 Year) trend of the NIFTY/SENSEX. Am Following NIFTY
2nd identify the long term trend of sectors or sectoral index which approximately matches with NIFTY/SENSEX trend
3rd if the long term trend is bullish then pick the strongest stock in the sector else pick the weakest stock.
my question, have compared NIFTY with BSE POWER Index and observed that both are bearish in long term.
now my question is, in long term the trend looks bearish but for the past 20 days observing reversal.
Have below 3 questions,. please clarify
(1) so now should i assume the trend as bearish or bullish?
(2) i planned to pick strongest stock by identifying the stock having maximum weightage in the INDEX, to trade in bullish market.
(3) i planned to pick weakest stock by identifying the stock having minimum weightage in the INDEX, to trade in bearish market.Replies
Here is how you can make a quick rule. Average yearly return of index is 15 percent. So a bullish stock is the one giving more than 30 percent yearly return. A bearish stock is the one giving less than 0 percent yearly return. You can always be long in strong stocks and short in weak stocks with appropriate stop loss.Delete
Another quick way to screen a stock is from the link I gave you before. You can be long in the best performing stocks and short in worst performing stock of the year. This can be done by sorting "365 d % chng" column.
Weightage in index is irrelevant when it comes to trading an individual stock. Weightage of particular stock tells us its relative effect on index as whole. Hope it helps.
Dear Sir,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your prompt response so far.
As said earlier, am doing paper trading on cash market.
Recently studied on Open Interest Concept and its relation to prices.
like INCREASE OPEN INTEREST AND DECREASE IN PRICE etc
Conceptually can understand the OI but unable to apply in Cash Market Trading.
In Money Control Site, can find OI for Futures, options for NEAR, NEXT AND FAR time frames.
Also OI for various prices for the same stock(Maruti Suzuki).
So can you please clarify on how to apply the concept on cash market trading.
Can you please asvise importance of volume during consolidation(Side-ways)?
Currently am using stochastic and RSI to judge price movement.
Should i use volume also during side-ways? If so, how?Replies
I don't use volume as well. Volume figures can be manipulated easily. However, a lot of people use it effectively like market profile based traders. Typically volume is low during sideways market and increases with trend and breakout moves. But this information is of limited use. Try to use price information to make trading decisions as far as possible.Delete
i decided to do swing trading(7 Days holding period) in cash market.
if i go long, i can take delivery in cash market and square-off at the end of 7 days. but if i plan to short, i have to cover on 2nd day in cash market.
i cannot rollover my holding.
so if i plan to swing trade in cash market, always should i have to do only long trading ?
shorting is suitable only for intra-day or Futures?
please clarify.
Can I get the name of a site using/ declaring Daily SAR?
Hello Sir,ReplyDelete
On Resistance Break-out, we can come across Daily Break out, Weekly Break out and Monthly Break out.
my understanding is breaking-out of Weekly Resistance is stronger than breaking-out of daily resistance.
similarly breaking-out of monthly resistance is much stronger than breaking-out weekly resistance.
so if trade long on the stock which breaks-out monthly resistance(also analysing other trading indicators like MACD, MOVING AVERAGE etc), profit making chances are good.
please clarify.Replies
Hi, yes you are correct but often you have false breakouts as well. What I would do is take long only trades after a breakout, I will not short. At breakout level, I will expect a rise in momentum. If that doesn't happen, chances are it is a false breakout.Delete
Whichever strategy you are using, you should know your stop loss level and be comfortable about it.
Dear Sir,ReplyDelete
As you are aware the primary market NIFTY AND SENSEX is in downtrend. have analysed other sectoral indexes like AUTO, IT etc and observed they are also in downtrend aligning with primary indexes. but observed BSE CONSUMER DURABLE Index is uptrend. Since am cash market trader taking delivery with holding period of 2-3 weeks, can only go long on stocks but in downtrend can't long on stocks. so can i analyse the index constituent stocks of BSE CONSUMER DURABLE index and long on some promising stocks in this major downtrend season? is my approach is good? If not, please suggest some better one. please clarifyReplies
Yes your approach is good, considering that you can be long only.Delete
Outperforming stock from outperforming sector is a good screener. But do keep the stoploss based on individual stock's price charts regardless of market or sector trend.

Since a while I'm collecting birdhouses and birdhouse-charts. So a few days ago I bought myself this lovely birdhouse-photoframe. I couldn't resist it! But it was still empty... So this afternoon I stitched a small birdhouse that fits in the frame. The chart is called "Titmouse on Birdhouse" and it's a freebee from this site. I've stitched it on 32 count ecru Lugana with DMC. So now it's a titmouse IN a birdhouse ;-)
Today I also received a lovely birdhouse-card in the mail. It's a belated birthday-card from Iris. Thank you so much Iris! The card is so beautiful made!

Les Amazones De Guinée - Au Coeur De Paris (Syliphone, 1983) *320kbps Up-Grade*
"Les Amazones de Guinée are not only their country's first all-female group, they are also among the longest-running. The group formed in 1961 when a number of officers in Guinea's military police discovered one another's musical talents. It was not long before a few became a big band, performing the lively Afro-pop style that enjoyed sweeping popularity throughout the late '60s and beyond. The Guinean government soon discovered the gem in their midst and added Les Amazones to its roster of state-supported groups. The band dazzled audiences with its high-energy live performances throughout the '70s and into the early '80s, when group members began to push for a debut record release. In 1983 the musicians traveled to Paris for the recording. Already touted throughout the African continent and across Europe as one of Guinea's artistic triumphs, Les Amazones de Guinée were introduced to listeners worldwide thanks to Au Coeur de Paris."(source)
"Special Show au Théâtre De La Mutualité, Paris - 6 Avril 1983"
320 kbps upgrade of this killer Syliphone classic. My vinyl rip. This first track, "Samba", is pure fire. You definitely need this album.

Whooh! Crazy psychic emanations from Lucky Psychic Hut, perhaps? Lucky's recent Horoya Band post got me in Syliphone-digging mode - and here you are to feed my frenzy. It's eerie, Nick, eerie. And totally appreciated!
Might I just add that *your* thrift stores are NOT like my thrift stores. Please let me know if you need Frampton Come Alive, Live at Budokan, Red Rose Speedway or Saturday Night Fever, as I can totally hook you up ;-)

I was really excited when I cracked open my parcel last Monday and found these goodies. If you've stuck around my blog long enough, you'd know that I'm a huge fan of Katy Perry. Really keen to try these babies out. Keep an eye out for my review. I've never tried self-adhesive lashes before so things are going to get interesting!
Here's another photo at a different angle and closer up. I love the cookies on sticks. They are so cute! Haven't got the heart to eat them.
Okay, so there's been quite a hype around Michael Todd skincare products, especially in the Youtube community. I really wanted to try them out but at the same time, I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket. Ordering all the full-sized products would cost me at least $100. I caved and bought this travel set instead. And yes, a review is on the horizon.
So for the last couple of weeks, Lovisa had a 3 for 2 sale. I was looking for a pair of earrings to go with my dress, for a ball that I will be attending. I spotted all these other items and I couldn't resist. My earrings hunt turned into a massive accessories haul As you can see, I purchased a set of gold bangles, a couple of necklaces, a pair of crystal earrings (for my dress) and a set of studs (see below).
What really sold me on the studs were the two birds at the bottom. Below is a clearer photo of them.
I think they are absolutely beautiful and I only wished that I have blonde (instead of black) hair, so that the black feather tails would show up more when I wear them.

The Sour and the Glory
An ancient Belgian beer style blooms in America
IN CRAFT BEER, a world lit mostly by hype, sour beers burn brightest. An acquired taste for most but a life's pursuit for a devoted few, sours command long lines and high prices when they appear at bars and shops—which they rarely do.
Behind the fans, collectors and cultish online forums are relatively simple brews that get their uniquely puckering flavors not from boutique ingredients but from humble bacteria more commonly found in pickles, vinegar and rustic sourdough bread. Brewers dose a basic beer, like saison or stout,...

When you play Louisville, I'd take their powers that be to Tony's where I'd make sure they had anything on the menu they wanted. Then Vic & Anthony's.

TCU is playing with the big boys, but they aren't a big time program long-term, and Baylor is causing itself to be about as attractive as radioactive sludge with the way they're handling this Title IX situation. In short, with your new facilities, thanks in part to fielding a winning football team and a commitment by the board, you're building the foundation that will allow you to not only compete in a newly expanded ACC, but WIN there as well.
Yes, even in basketball.
So, chin up Cougars and hold fast. What has happened to you today is probably the best thing that could happen long term. The Big
But the time will come when there is, and then the dominoes will start falling again.
Don't get caught unawares this time. That probably means telling the Big

Jordy has a special place in my heart, that's for sure. For part of his birthday gift last year, I set about making him a pencil roll.
It was going really well...the colours were great, I found a matching hair elastic for the closure, I loved the fabrics...until I got up to the binding bit. I have some issues with binding. So when the binding didn't look right, I re-did it. And re-did it again. And again....until the project was thrown into my too-hard basket for an extended stay.
Having worked through some of my binding issues lately :) and with Jordy's birthday coming up, I decided to pull this project out and have another go.
Now, either my binding technique has improved, or I've relaxed my perfection criteria, or I just got lucky LOL, because the binding went on very easily...and on the first attempt :) Gotta love that!
Wooohoooo...my UFO pile is getting smaller!
Have a great Saturday.

Manufacturers around the world frequently utilize progressive die technologies, including progressive die stamping. Metal stamping works especially well in forming parts from sheet metal. This process permits high volume production very cost-effectively under certain circumstances.
Today progressive die stamping typically employs a variety of different manufacturing processes involving the use of sheet metals. Production may occur in an automated or a non-automated environment.
Metal stamping involves either a single stage or multiple stages. In the first situation, a single press stroke will transform a strip or piece of sheet metal in a desired way. By contrast during multi-stage operations, the work piece undergoes a series of strokes in order to attain a designated form.
Progressive die stamping describes a sheet metal forming process in which a manufacturer depends upon an organized series of stamping workstations to produce a metal part. Today, this process commonly occurs within an automated environment in which a conveyor system moves parts systematically from one automated stamping die station to another. Some robotic production lines include sophisticated sensors, enabling each stamping machine to perform with a minimum of human assistance.
The rapid production process begins with a roll of sheet metal and ends with a series of metal parts rolling off the line. A slower system may generate from 7 to 8 pieces per minute, while some high volume operations can produce 1500 metal parts per minute.
Typically a stock strip carries parts seamlessly through the conveyor system. Stamping operations differ slightly at each workstation along the route. Modifications may include striking, coining or bending the part, which usually becomes separated from the stock strip only during the final phase of the progressive die stamping conveyance line.
Progressive Die Stamping Process
How does the process of progressive die stamping differ from the use of line dies? During automated progressive die stamping, a manufacturer affixes all of the required stamping stations for each individual operation onto a single die set.
The operator, usually with the assistance of a computer, carefully sequences every operation, calculating the precise length of time required for an individual work piece to proceed through the conveyance line. The presence of multiple stamping stations along the conveyor enables the mass production of pieces. Carefully calculating progression and "pitch distance" make it feasible to remain in continuous production for extended periods of time in some situations.
Essentially, a single press stroke at each progressive die stamping workstation impacts a large number of parts. This efficient process helps make high volume production more cost-effective.
Manufacturers frequently utilize progressive die stamping in modern materials fabrication environments to help keep costs low during the course of high volume production runs. Today, this industrial process accounts for the generation of huge quantities of metal parts used in numerous industries.
Popular metals used during progressive die stamping include brass, copper, nickel, aluminum and stainless steel. For instance, many metallic automotive interior trim accents lend themselves to this form of industrial production. Beverage container manufacturers frequently produce pull tabs using this process.
The decision whether or not to use progressive die stamping with a conveyor or a transfer press may depend upon the total size of the anticipated production run, the dimensions of the individual work piece and the complexity of the manufacturing steps required to generate the desired component. Production cost factors typically enter into this analysis.
Progressive die stamping enjoys broad popularity during this century as a manufacturing process because of the numerous advantages it offers. Just consider a few of the benefits manufacturers may obtain by using this technology:
First, automated progressive die stamping can generate a high volume of metal parts very cost-effectively in some situations. The use of mass-production techniques may substantially lower the individual price-per-unit, for instance.
Second, the continuous operation of metal stamping workstations in a progressive die stamping assembly line may enable very rapid turnaround times. Since a single press stroke often impacts multiple rows at a time, this process possesses the potential to generate work pieces quite efficiently. Speedy manufacturing may justify the investment in automated production technology.
Third, manufacturers can use this process in an efficient way to reduce waste. By devoting careful attention to the setup process, firms can utilize as much of the raw material as possible, generating a lower quantity of scrap materials. This fact may contribute to the cost-effectiveness of the production process.
Fourth, the adoption of automated progressive die stamping conforms well to the application of robotic workstations. It potentially requires the use of fewer human workers than some other forms of fabrication. Progressive die stamping conveyances may operate on a 24/7 basis in some facilities, permitting optimized high volume production.
Fifth, by using this type of die stamping, potentially manufacturers can achieve very close tolerances. This advantage depends to some extent upon the tools employed and the careful calculation of progression and pitch distances. Since computers can measure and cut materials with far greater precision than human beings, companies may discover significant advantages in utilizing finely automated mass production methods such as automated progressive die stamping.

A Letter for the Fighters
Dearest YOU,
Maybe you're hurting. Maybe you're numb. I can feel it in your words when I read them in the forums, blogs, Facebook groups, and messages. But your spark is not gone, because I can feel that too. Am I worried? Yes. But am I hopeful? Yes. Always. Why? Because I know you can do this. I know you can beat this thing that for some reason has seen fit to grab hold of you. I know you didn't choose to have an eating disorder, but what's awesome is that you can choose to recover. Be brave, be bold, and make that choice! This world needs you - the whole, beautiful, amazing you...not the hurting, numb, compromised you.
I know you're stronger than your eating disorder. I know you are a fighter. Are you forgetting?
I can't let you forget. I won't let you forget. I can't let you throw away all the progress you've made. You deserve better and recovery is the only "better" there is. Trust me. I know how it is - sometimes a huge part of you wants to just throw in the towel and let the glamorous version of your eating disorder take over. But you are not a quitter. And that glamorous version may scream "You'll be thin!" or "You'll be happy!" or it might spout pleasing numbers at your numbed mind or illustrate pictures of contentment, but it's all fluff. Fallacy.
I've seen what you can accomplish - even from a afar. I've seen what you can do on your own, and with help, and with support. The fact is, you can accomplish a lot and amaze people around you - not by your dwindling physique or your unwavering exercise routine, but by your determination, your true beauty, your intelligence, your passion, your creativity, and your sense of fun.
You have a real sense of fun.
And guess what? It's going to go away. A part of you thinks you'll be happier if you continue down this path of letting the illness and obsession take over... but you're wrong. And I don't want you to find out the hard way.
I know sometimes it all seems like too much. I know sometimes recovery seems too hard, too annoying, too overwhelming, too invasive. And I know that you're screaming inside, "That's not what I want! I want to be thinner! I want to be happier! I want to be in control!' or whatever it is that pesky, devilish voice says to you. But every time you give in to that screaming voice, you're losing a piece of yourself.
And I don't want to see you go.
I'm willing to play hardball and tell you to cut the crap. I'm also willing to love you fiercely and wholly. And you're allowed to vent and rage and cry and freak out. As long as you won't give in to that voice. Deal?
I know it sucks. I know it's hell. But the time to move forward is now. You can do it.
No, you can do it.
NO, you CAN do it.
I love you. Now get to work.
Love, Arielle

A touch of menace, and a touch of class.
After some fresh arrangements of Akuma's classic theme and "The Road"–Ryu's theme from Street Fighter Alpha 3–Rektscrub is back with two more takes on memorable Street Fighter themes, this time for fighters from the Street Fighter III series.
Urien's theme already got a more "epic"-sounding upgrade for its inclusion in Street Fighter V; RektScrub thought it still needed some "spice" however. Here's their version:
Gentleman boxer Dudley's music from SFIII is one of the game's most distinctive themes–RektScrub makes fairly sweeping changes to its structure here, while maintaining just enough of the original hook to still be recognizable. Check it out:

History Of Brewing
Between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago, some humans discontinued their nomadic hunting and gathering and settled down to farm. Grain was the first domesticated crop that started that farming process.
The oldest proven records of brewing are about 6,000 years old and refer to the Sumerians. Sumeria lay between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers including Southern Mesopotamia and the ancient cities of Babylon and Ur. It is said that the Sumerians discovered the fermentation process by chance. No one knows today exactly how this occurred, but it could be that a piece of bread or grain became wet and a short time later, it began to ferment and a inebriating pulp resulted. A seal around 4,000 years old is a Sumerian "Hymn to Ninkasi", the goddess of brewing. This "hymn" is also a recipe for making beer. A description of the making of beer on this ancient engraving in the Sumerian language is the earliest account of what is easily recognized as barley, followed by a pictograph of bread being baked, crumbled into water to form a mash, and then made into a drink that is recorded as having made people feel "exhilarated, wonderful and blissful." It could be that baked bread was a convenient method of storing and transporting a resource for making beer. The Sumerians were able to repeat this process and are assumed to be he first civilized culture to brew beer. They had discovered a "divine drink" which certainly was a gift from the gods.
From the Gilgamesh Epic, written in the 3rd millennium B.C., we learn that not only bread but also beer was very important. This epic is recognized as one of the first great works of world literature. Ancient oral sagas from the beginning of human history were recorded in writing for the first time. The Gilgamesh Epic describes the evolution from primitive man to "cultured man".
"Enkidu, a shaggy, unkempt, almost bestial primitive man, who ate grass and could milk wild animals, wanted to test his strength against Gilgamesh, the demigod-like sovereign. Taking no chances, Gilgamesh sent a (prostitute) to Enkidu to learn of his strengths and weaknesses. Enkidu enjoyed a week with her, during which she taught him of civilization. Enkidu knew not what bread was nor how one ate it. He had also not learned to drink beer. The (prostitute) opened her mouth and spoke to Enkidu: 'Eat the bread now, O Enkidu, as it belongs to life. Drink also beer, as it is the custom of the land.' Enkidu drank seven cups of beer and his heart soared. In this condition he washed himself and became a human being. "
The Babylonians became the rulers of Mesopotamia after the Sumerian empire collapsed during the 2nd millennium bc. Their culture was derived from that of the Sumerians, and as a consequence of this, they also mastered the art of brewing beer. Today we know that the Babylonians new how to brew 20 different types of beer.
In ancient times beer was cloudy and unfiltered. The "drinking straws" were used to avoid getting the brewing residue, which was very bitter, in the mouth. Beer from Babylon was exported and distributed as far away as Egypt. Hammurabi, an important Babylonian King, decreed the oldest known collection of laws. One of these laws established a daily beer ration. This ration was dependent on the social standing of the individual, a normal worker received 2 liters, civil servants 3 liters, administrators and high priests 5 liters per day. In these ancient times beer was often not sold, but used as barter.
The Egyptians carried on the tradition of beer brewing. They also used unbaked bread dough for making beer and added dates to the brew to improve the taste. The importance of beer brewing in ancient Egypt can be seen from the fact that the scribes created an extra hieroglyph for "brewer".
Although beer as we know it had its origins in Mesopotamia, fermented beverages of some sort or another were produced in various forms around the world. For example, Chang is a Tibetan beer and Chicha is a corn beer and kumis is a drink produced from fermented camel milk. The word beer comes from the Latin word bibere, meaning "to drink", and the Spanish word cerveza originates from the Greek goddess of agriculture, Ceres.
After Egypt was succeeded by the Greeks and Romans, beer continued to be brewed. Plinius reported of the popularity of beer in the Mediterranean area before wine took hold. In Rome, wine became ambrosia from the god Bacchus. Beer was only brewed in the outer areas of the Roman Empire where wine was difficult to obtain. For the Romans beer was considered a barbarian drink. The oldest proof that beer was brewed on German soil, comes from around 800 B.C. in the early Hallstatt Period, where beer amphora found near the present day city of Kulmbach have been dated back to this time. As Tacitus, who first wrote about the ancient Germans or Teutons, put it like this: "To drink, the Teutons have a horrible brew fermented from barley or wheat, a brew which has only a very far removed similarity to wine".
Beer of that era could not be stored, was cloudy and produced almost no foam. Early civilizations found the mood-altering properties of beer supernatural, and intoxication was considered divine. Beer, it was thought, must contain a spirit or god, since drinking the liquid so possessed the spirit of the drinker. The ancient Germans regarded beer not only a sacrifice to the gods but they, as in Egypt, also brewed beer for their own enjoyment. For example, in the Finnish poetic saga Kalewala, 400 verses are devoted to beer but only 200 were needed for the creation of the earth. According to the Edda, the great Nordic epic, wine was reserved for the gods, beer belonged to mortals and mead to inhabitants of the realm of the dead.
Beer brewing played an important role in daily lives. Beer was clearly so desired that it led nomadic groups into village life. Beer was considered a valuable (potable) foodstuff and workers were often paid with jugs of beer.
A vitamin-rich porridge, used daily, beer is reported to have increased health and longevity and reduced disease and malnutrition. The self-medicating properties of alcohol-rich beer also eased the tensions and stresses of daily living in a hostile world. Those who drank thrived as the struggle of life wore on those less blessed.
Until the Middle Ages, brewing and the baking of bread was exclusively the job of a woman. In fact, ancient laws stated that brewing vessels were a woman's personal property. This began to change shortly before the end of the first millennium, when the monasteries turned their attention to beer brewing. Perhaps one reason that beer brewing has become associated with monasteries (Holland and Belgium in particular) is that in ancient Babylon, women brewers were priestesses of the temple, thus connecting beer and religion for the first time. As monasteries took over the brewing of beer, women's involvement began to wane, and brewing became a male-dominated process. The monks were intensively concerned with making beer because they wanted a pleasant tasting, nutritious drink to serve with their meals, which could be lacking, especially during periods of fasting. As the consumption of liquids was not considered to break the fast, beer was always permitted. The consumption of beer in the monasteries reached astounding levels. In many monasteries, historians report that each monk was allowed to imbibe 5 liters of beer per day.
We can see in many paintings of the period that the monks enjoyed their beer, nonetheless, after a short time they began to brew more than for their own consumption. Upon payment of a fee, the monks received the right to sell beer and with this many monasteries developed into well managed commercial enterprises. The beer was sold in monastery pubs. Because the monasteries actively promoted beer brewing, their beer was of high quality and popular. After the Reformation and the weakening of the church, brewing became the responsibility of the commercial brewer. These "entrepreneur" brewers often brewed under "Royal" license and supplied the rising merchant class. Because people were inclined to support local endeavors, the art of brewing developed and became a respected trade.
The local sovereigns introduced beer taxes which rapidly began to add to their wealth. As the monastery pubs did not have to pay these taxes because of their older, privileged brewery status, they adversely affected this new source of income and many were quickly closed by the dukes and princes. Emperor Sigismund (1368-1437) was the first emperor to issue such a decree. Even though many monastery breweries were closed by the rulers, we owe much to the monks for being the first to scientifically develop the brewers' art. Monasteries had become the centers for brewing as a result of their already being the centers of learning and, as we know, because the local water supply was often contaminated, beer provided a safe drinking source and was promoted by the authorities. There was the low strength "everyday" beer and the higher alcohol beers brewed for special occasions. In the weddings of ancient England, a special "bride's ale" would be brewed for the bride by her family. The term "bride ale" became the present "bridal." Throughout the Middle Ages, hops became widely used as a way to make beer refreshing and also as a natural preservative. In fact, in France and Germany, hops were documented as being cultivated in the ninth century. Hops are said to have first been used to flavor beer in Brabant monasteries in what is now Belgium. This explains the legend falsely attributing the creation of beer to the Brabant king Gambrinus.
"In life be I called Gambrinus, King of Flanders and Brabant. I have made malt from barley and first conceived of the brewing of beer. Hence, the brewers can say they have a king as master brewer."
King Gambrinus is still revered today as the patron saint of beer. The use of hops in the making of beer started a "bitter" argument about the so-called Flavorings License ("Grutrecht" in old German). Grut was a mixture of all sorts of herbs used to flavor beer. The flavoring license was similar to a patent, allowing a brewery to produce its own flavoring mixture and became the legal basis for every brewery and ensured a monopoly position for the respective brew master. With the advent of hops as a flavoring, Grut was no longer necessary and therefore the monopoly position of the breweries were endangered. For this reason, the use of hops was often simply and forcibly forbidden. Among other things, juniper berries, sweet gale , blackthorn, aniseed, bay leaves, yarrow, thorn apple, gentian, rosemary, oak bark, wormwood, caraway seed, tansy, Saint-John's-wort, spruce chips, pine roots and henbane (the hallucinogen Alkaloid is produced from henbane during the brewing process.) found their way into these mixtures. Some of these herbs were poisonous. This could well be the reason that superstition played an important role around the brewing kettle. The main victims of this superstition were the Beer Witches.
Because things often went wrong with the beer brewing which nobody could explain with the body of beer brewing knowledge available in early times, the guilty parties were often sought in the mystical realm. Many wondrous herbs and cult objects still surrounded brewing kettles into the late middle ages. Superstition went so far that brewing failures were blamed on "brew witches" or "beer witches".
The last known burning of a "brew witch" took place in 1591. The end of this superstitious era came when the use of hops caught on. Even though often forbidden at first, this practice prevailed in the long run. For one thing, the beer became less perishable and the brewing process more stable because of hops. Things didn't go wrong as often and fewer witches had to be hunted.
With the use of hops the beer revealed its "clear character". Beer began to closely resemble the modern product range, both in taste and appearance. In order to guarantee a high level of reliability, quality and consistency, the Duke of Bavaria, Wilhelm IV, proclaimed the German Beer Purity Law (Rhienheitsgebot) in 1516. This decree established for the first time that only barley (later malted barley), hops and pure water could be used to brew beer.
The use of yeast was not yet known at that time. The success of the fermentation process was left to chance, as the brewers unknowingly relied on yeast particles in the air. Today this Beer Purity Law is the oldest still valid food law in the world. In the eyes of the European Union, however, this law was inhibitive to competition. Now, as a result of the EU ruling, beer may be imported into Germany which was not brewed in accordance with the Beer Purity Law, as long as this fact is clearly stated. The German brewers still abide by their centuries-old tradition. Of course the Beer Purity Law had its predecessors. A regulation promulgated in 1493 by the Duke of Bayers-Landshut, for example, stated that:
"Herewith shall beer brewers and others not use anything other than malt, hops and water. These same brewers also shall not add anything when serving or otherwise handling beer, upon penalty to body and chattels."
Together with the quality improvement, the distribution and export of beer also increased. The worldwide export was carried out by the Hansa of the Hanseatic League fame. As time passed, export took on an ever increasing role. Regular brewing centers developed. In the 14th century Bremen was the primary beer supplier for many countries. Hamburg also developed into one of these brewing centers. In 1500 there were 600 breweries in Hamburg alone. The Hansa even exported beer to far away India. In the small middle German and Maerkish (Brandenburg) communities of this period, breweries were the most important financial contributors to the local economy. Other German beer centers were Brunswick and Einbeck. Bok beer was first created in Einbeck and became a favorite of a Bavarian duke.
The Industrial Revolution started to take their effect on beer at the beginning of the 19th century. Two extremely important inventions revolutionized beer brewing. The first was James Watt's steam engine and the second invention was artificial cooling by Carl von Linde. It had long been known that the making of good beer required certain temperatures. Some of these temperatures occurred naturally only in winter. From the time of von Linde's invention on, brewing was a year round enterprise..
Beer in modern times.
Considerable scientific research took place in breweries in the 19th century. A famous work from 1876 by Louis Pasteur was "Etudes sur la Biere" ("Studies Concerning Beer") where he revealed his knowledge of micro-organisms. This basic knowledge is still indispensable today, not only in the production of beverages, but also in medicine and biology. (Everyone knows the word "pasteurized")
Another pioneering discovery in beer brewing was the work of Christian Hansen. The Danish scientist, Christian Hansen, successfully isolated a single yeast cell and induced it to reproduce on an artificial culture medium. With the resulting yeast propagation methods, the purity of the fermenting process has been improved and beer taste repeatable.
Beer and its price have always been of extreme importance to German consumers. The consequences a beer price increase can bring with it were shown in 1888 in Munich when the Salvator battle took place, as citizens violently rebelled against such a price increase.
Wooden barrels have been almost completely replaced by metal barrels for most pub trade. In 1964 metal kegs were introduced in Germany. Firstly, cleaning and filling was much simpler. Secondly, tapping and closing off was much easier for the bar personnel. This was a big hit with pub and restaurant owners.
A Short History of Brewing in America
In North America, fermented beverages were being produced long before the Europeans arrived. We know that the first European settlers were greeted by the natives with a wine made from the persimmon. In the southwestern region of the New World, the native peoples were brewing a beer made from the fermentation of maize. The passengers of the Mayflower, hoping to land in the more mild southern climate, were forced ashore, in part, due to a shortage of beer. An entry from the journal of a Mayflower passenger, dated December 19, 1620 reads: "We could not now take time for further search or consideration, our victuals being much spent, especially our beer." As proof of the importance of beer, the daily consumption of the Puritans was regulated by law. They were allowed two quarts for breakfast alone! In days gone by, there was little choice of beverages, and the poor management of waste disposal contaminated many water sources. People, afraid of the water drank beer instead and it was drunk as readily as we drink water or soft drinks today.
The early English settlers of North America relied primarily on the importation of English beers. Two breweries, however, were established in 1629 which used maize instead of barley and produced an un-hopped beer like the beers of England at the time. The Dutch colony of New Amsterdam, unlike its English counterparts relied primarily on local breweries instead of importing beer from the motherland. New Amsterdam was the first and biggest brewing center of the New World, and continued to be so even after its sale to the British and transformation to New York. Philadelphia was the second major brewing center of the New Colonies and began to rival New York in the late 17th century. In fact, many of our founding fathers were brewers. William Penn, the Quaker founder of the Pennsylvania colony had a brewery on his estate. Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Madison and Samuel Adams encouraged legislation to promote the American brewing industry, and even George Washington, whose recipe for beer can be found in the New York Public Library, was an established homebrewer.
These early beers were all ales produced by top-fermenting yeast, like the beers found in England today. In 1840, the wave of German emigrants brought with them the bottom-fermenting lagers of Germany and began a brewing revolution in the United States. This, and subsequent emigrations brought such people as Frederick Pabst, Bernard Stroh, Joseph Schlitz, Adolph Coors, Henry Weinhard, Theodore Hamm and Eberhard Anheuser to name a few. These lagers quickly replaced ales, and even today the vast majority of breweries around the country, and even the world, were originally established by German emigrants and produce lagers.
Brewing in the United States peaked in the 1870's with 4,131 breweries throughout the nation. From this apex right up until Prohibition, the numbers of breweries began to decline as companies merged and consolidated in an attempt to produce a beer that could sell nationwide. The anti-German sentiment fostered by the arrival of World War I set the atmosphere for the passage of the Volstead Act, which began the decade-long period of Prohibition. Over President Woodrow Wilson's veto, 1,568 breweries closed in January of 1920 when Prohibition became national law. A few breweries managed to survive by producing candy, malted milk, soda water or something similar.
This law was repealed by President Roosevelt in April of 1933, and by the next year 756 breweries were in operation. The number of breweries began once again to decline as larger breweries pushed smaller breweries out of business in an effort to produce a beer that would sell nationally. Some middle sized breweries, (including Yuengling in Pottsville, NY, establ. in 1829 and operating today, it is the oldest brewery in the US) survived by catering to a local or regional taste, which was not a profitable avenue for larger breweries to pursue. The number of breweries in the United States had dwindled to less than 90, and just when it appeared as if the U.S. was destined for one or two national beers, states began to pass legislation in the early 1980's allowing microbreweries to operate.
In 1978 there were 89 breweries in operation in the US, producing fewer than 25 nationally distributed brands. TAs the new century dawned, nearly 2,000 breweries once again operated in the United States, bolstering employment roles, the tax-base and the economy. There are now more styles of beer produced in the U.S. than in any other country in the world. And this all happened in less than twenty years.
In California in the mid 1960's, some people with the financial ability and with an appreciation of fine wine, began investing in California real estate and developing vineyards. The success of these wineries caught the attention of other entrepreneurs. These were the people who knew what well made, fresh beer tasted like. They also realized that once tasted, demand would grow. And so it did.
In 1977, in Sonoma, California (a famous wine producing region in the U.S.) the first micro brewery, The New Albion Brewing Company began with an annual production of 200 barrels of British style ales and stouts.
At the same time, international travel was becoming less expensive and available to more people. These people returned from Europe (the worlds great beer producing region) and demanded the same full-flavored beers they had enjoyed overseas. These consumers insisted on foods and beverages of quality, and they knew what quality was. It meant knowing what went into a product, not what the brand name was. The search for quality continues.
Today, we are experiencing a boom in hand-crafted beer tailored to local and regional tastes. Many restaurants now feature "beer menus" (like wine menus) and are concentrating on pairing food with beer. (Matching flavor components of beer with those of foods). Even the major breweries have "read the writing on the wall" and are offering beers with more flavor and character to cater to the market segment that usually purchases imported or "specialty" beers. If the big breweries are willing to make major changes in their products and advertising campaigns, the trend of a few years ago is now a full-fledged market segment and the only real growth segment in the domestic market today.

County council appoints new representative to health board
BELLEVILLE – The Hastings and Prince Edward Public Health Board will be getting a new member.
Prince Edward County council met on Tuesday evening and appointed Hallowell Ward 6 Coun. Gordon Fox as its new representative to the board.
The mayor's office had out sent an email to all of the council members offering them the position but no one replied except Fox.
Council passed a motion to have Fox replace Coun. Kevin Gale, who had previously held the position.
"It's my understanding that Coun. Gale has other commitments and was looking for someone to take his position on the board," said Fox.
He previously served as a member of the health board when he was on council from 2000 to 2006, he said.
"I have familiarity with (the health unit board) and I like it."
Having a representative from Prince Edward County on the board is important, he said.
"It has to do with the health and well-being of our communities. It's good that we know what's going on so that we can help make decisions that are going to be in the best favour of health for our residents."

Whilst dashing around the city trying to cram in as much as I could over 3 days there was many stops for quick lunches, very good coffees and buns. This is the sort of eating I really enjoy when I'm away, trying bits here and there and making the whole day one long meal, with some art and culture thrown in in between for good measure. And of course the big meals and beers at the end of the day I wrote about in Part 1.
These are my favourite breakfasts and bakeries, cheap eats and buns from across Copenhagen.
Bakeries, Coffee and Croissants: Coffee Collective, Meyer's Bageri and Sweet TreatsThere were plenty of cool coffee shops and bakeries with piles of cinnamon buns to choose from but these were my favourites.
Coffee Collective seem to have something of a stronghold on the craft coffee scene in Copenhagen, with their own micro roastery and coffee shops. We visited both their coffee bar in the food heaven of Torvehallerne, which was like Borough Market but housed in two large glass buildings, where I got a refreshing and crisp slow drip coffee and the other half accidentally stole a small boy's latte. We also visited their main shop on Jaegersborggade where the main floor space is taken up by their roaster. I was regretful at having only taken hand luggage so I couldn't bring any beans back with me.
Plus, the Coffee Collection takeaway cups have really fantastic packaging.
The coffee was exquisite, although I'm sure enjoying it in the sun in a foreign city amplified the taste and enjoyment slightly. I can't believe I went to Copenhagen and felt like I'd been on a hot holiday compared with England which seems to have fallen under the rule of the White Witch.
Just across the street on Jaegersborggade is Meyer's Bageri, home to the most amazing buns and bread. As well as whole range of breads, the Danish bakeries seemed to stick to a smaller range of sweet options, often buns or pastry products. Meyer's Bageri was set up by Claus Meyer, co-founder of Noma and self titled 'Gastronomic Entrepreneur' - he looks to be a man with his hand in many tasty pies. Meyer's Bageri is home to their legendary kanelsnurrer, a sweet, folded cinnamon bun, when walking into the tiny shop that's all you can smell. We came away with one and some macaroons, caramel & peanut and cherry & liquorice.
Sweet Treats, over in Christianshavn, is mentioned in the Where Chef's Eat Book which is the perfect textbook for a restaurant nerd like me. The book lists places around the world that the best chefs like to eat at. Sweet Treats was nothing fancy, a rather unassuming tiny cafe, offering good coffee and good pastry at very reasonable prices. I was in a fragile state after having a total nervo at the top of a nearby church tower, so was really glad to be sat down anywhere that was near to the ground, the coffee and crispy croissant was added bonus.
On our second afternoon we headed up the coast to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Modern Art which is one of the most amazing cultural venues I've ever been to. A piece of minimal 50's architecture nestled on the stunning Danish cliff tops looking over to Sweden. The cafe was crazy pricey but I've still got serious dreamy lust for this pink cloud of a bun.
Breakfast: Granola
Although our hotel was rather dreamy, the breakfast wasn't included was around 165 dkk each which is nearly £20 so even for the nicest all organic breakfast buffet it's still totally ludicrous. Just up the street however was one of my favourite stops from the trip, Granola on Vaernedamsvej which is a street renowned for it's food venues.
Granola is a charming 1930's French inspired ice cream parlour and cafe, full of traditional touches, decor and prints. I felt childish glee knowing I could order a huge strawberry milkshake because I'm an adult dammit and I'm on holiday. That combined with some fluffy, buttery pancakes, maple syrup and berries created one all mighty sugar headache but was well worth it.
Cheap Eats: Den økologiske PølsemandI'd never really connected Denmark with hot dogs, but after doing some research it seems to be one of the defining dishes of the country. Safe to say we found the best at Den økologiske Pølsemand, translating as The Organic Sausage Man.
Located at the bottom of the Round Tour in the middle of tourist town, it was a good option for a cheap lunch, we got everything on our standard dogs housed in sourdough and linseed buns, and whilst I'm not really sure what any of it was bar some very good pickles and crispy onions, it was top class dog. Could have eaten about three of them mind.
For eating, and for everything else in between, Copenhagen is definitely recommended. From the hip meat packing district and Vesterbro restaurants, to craft coffee and beer bars I did fall a little bit in love with the city, its attitude and atmosphere.
Now I'm going to spend the next 6 months learning how to ride a bike properly and make the other half grow a beard so we can move there.

Quinn Hadley is a sleep walker. She has done it twice when she came to the Salem university. Nobody except her roomie knows about it. But things takes a bad turn when someone wreaks havoc in the university, sometimes by exploding a stinking bomb and by attacking the couples at other times. The attacking episodes seemed no end. Quinn Hadley was apprehensive by the sudden turn of events, but her apprehensions turns into nightmares when every evidences points that the culprit is nobody but her. Looking at the evidences piled up in front of her, Quinn also doubts that whether her sleep walking is the real cause of all those recurring unfortunate incidents in the university. But a fleeting thought that somebody is taking advantage of her ' sleep walking ' and making her a pawn did not leave her sleep without investigating into the root cause of everything.
It is an easy read and I enjoyed it as I used to enjoy Nancy Drew series. There was suspense and mystery element and at times you would feel that you are quite close to the vandal, but you miss him/ her. Though Diane Hoh do drop some clues here and there did not give away the culprit until the right time.
Long and short, a good and a smooth read....I enjoyed it.

One day a verbal duel took place between my grandmother and me. It so happened that I was coming back from school and my sister was just behind me. Instead of running into us, Julie flew at us at the level of 2 feet above the ground and landed a little in front of me. I was shocked as to what must have happened and then saw my grandmother coming after her… and concluded she had kicked the poor kitty.
"How dare you kick a poor little cat like that Naani?"
"I did not kick it.. why should I get into the bad book of God for some silly little stray cat by kicking it? She came in my way and I stumbled on her"
"Stumbling on cats does not make them fly, kicking will"
"I said I did not kick her.. that is it"
For some reason my sister was not saying anything and that irritated me a lot. She usually avoided arguing with grandmother and our dad. I could not help it.
My aunt rushed out to see what was happening and asked me why I was crying.
All the while Julie was sitting aside licking herself calmly.
Somehow between sobs I blurted out "This cruel old woman kicked my cat and it came flying out"
"Is that the way to talk about your grandmother?"
"May be not but let us talk about that later. Why should someone kick poor Julie?"
My aunt was confused and irritated for some reason.. but she managed to ask my grandmother 'why did she kick the poor kitty'.
"That devil of the cat is always running between my legs and trying to kill me, I actually stumbled on it. I swear on Allah!"
"That is it. She swears and we cannot say anything more".
"Swearing will not take away Julie's pain".
"Fari!… will you please SHUT UP now? When someone swears on Allah it means what they are saying is true. If not Allah will punish them. We are not to dispute this because Allah knows all".
I was in utter confusion here because I had seen Julie fly .. and there had to be a kick behind it as she had no wings.. but here aunty was arguing that swearing on Allah meant that there was no kick. My eyes were lying. My aunt loved me and usually stood by me in most of the situations. So this was very irritating and also was irritating was the fact of my sister's silence. May be she was tensed about the math's test the next day or may be she had not seen Julie.
I did not argue more but decided that I had something to prove. My mind started chugging away like train engine.. chuk chuk chuk chuk.. and then flashed an idea.
I slowly slipped into a room where few things were kept on the mirror. I broke a nail polish bottle, wiped the mess with my grandma's blouse, sprinkled face powder in all four corners of the room, made mess on the wall with my pencil and sat to do my homework . I felt Julie had been avenged and she slipped quietly near my feet and went to sleep proving me right.
I almost forgot about my avenging event by working math when shrieks and squeals made me realize the war had begun.. there they were blowing horns and inviting my army (only little me on one side all of them on the other) to fight.
Someone shouted "Fari! Why did you do this mess here?"
"I did not do anything"
"You are a liar"
"May be yes, but so are many of you"
"We want to know why you did this."
"I did not do it and I swear on Allah that I did not do it".
There was utter silence and shock on everyone's face. It was like the world had stopped and stood still. Then all the muttering of Taubah Taubah started and they started to plead with God to forgive this devil child because she did not know what she was doing.
"What?" I said finally because it looked me this thing is never going to end.
"You stupid girl! How dare you swear on Allah just like that and that too on a lie? Don't you know how fierce is the fire in hell?"
"Now you are not trusting Allah because you are not believing when I am swearing on him. That will make you accompany me to hell"
"How can we trust you when we can see what you have done here? Nobody came here and no one is insane to do this".
"So when you see something and you are sure, you can question the swearing on Allah but I cannot?"
It was at this time in argument that my dad walked in. My grandmother gave a dramatic explanation of everything and finally it was the matter of me swearing falsely in the name of Allah which was presented in fluorescent words.
"This girl needs to learn right from wrong and there is no more room for explanation. She needs to be punished". Said my dad…
So when my mother fretted (she never wanted any of the child physically punished) all watched when a nylon wire was brought, twisted and used as a whip to lash my legs. Yeah! Only legs. Meanwhile I was asked to say sorry to God and promise to never insult him in such way. I did not. I was hurting very badly and my skin had given way one or two places making it bleed a bit. But no! I had decided not to give in and it was Dad who gave up after 6-7 lashes. My grandmother smirked and unfortunately I saw that. I could not forgive her easily for that. My aunt wept and tried to pacify me but she could not even make any eye contact with me. I was not going to look at anyone of them. I was wild, angry and felt I have been wronged. For many days to come I was quite most of the time and just gave angry stares at my family when they tried to talk to me. I did not ask for food and my mother had to remember to feed me something. I stopped allowing her to comb my hair, help me have bath etc. I created my own island in the house and started living on that island and meanwhile unknown to anyone, unheard by anyone.. secretly I had decided that God was my enemy like my grandmother.
[A note to new readers.. - My blog posts under the label autobiography is true incidents from my childhood which had made huge impact on my own personality. My blog posts are a part of my journey into my troubled past. By allowing the child (me in my younger days) who suffered because she did not have anyone to share her confusions with or to tell whatever she wants to. I am allowing my younger self to go through catharsis so that my present will be free from the past. This particular incident changed the way I look at belief and faith in God forever...

Check Soundwave out at TFMaster.com
Fantastic, dude. Amazing work.
Nice! Soundwave as an Escalade on Dubs and clear tail lights!
Very very cool!
Wow he evan has a little Ravage and LB! You should make to little Cyborgs that sit inside him! Rumble and Frenzy!
I like the kitbash, but not the mold used. The arms make it look wierd to me.
Jeje, it has a Lazerbeak and a Ravage. Great alt.mode.
Wow, pretty dang good! I've seen somewhere, someone, using an Escalade as a basis for Ironhide. Seemed a bit odd to me, but I'm probably in the vast minority who'd like to see Ironhide kept as a minivan.
That Soundwave is seriously tripped out. Works great with the backseat stereo concept.
It's definitely the accessories that make this one. Great jorb.

Building LFS: Post 0Posted: 05.18.13 Filed under: LFS Leave a comment
I recently undertook the task of building a LFS (Linux From Scratch) installation.
LFS is widely regarded as the ultimate, well, "from scratch" Linux distro. So much so in fact, that it's really not a distro- it's a book.
Building an LFS system begins with a host Linux system. A new partition must be created for the LFS system, and source code for GCC, Coreutils, Binutils, and several other programs, to create a toolchain on the new partition. After that, you must compile the tools again (Pass 2) so that you are able to compile the final system against the new kernel headers, and linked to binaries on the new filesystem (that you also create). Then it's time to write bootscripts and config scripts; configure and compile the kernel, install GRUB (if applicable) and boot into the new system! Seems simple enough. 🙂
I used LFS 7.3 (stable), and built it in a VirtualBox VM with Debian 7 (stable) as the host. I found LFS to be a fairly long and challenging build. It took me about a week all told, and I probably have about 20 hours invested in the system. The main part of it is the endless compiling; I was lucky to be doing this with a recent Intel i7 processor and therefore the actual compiling never went for more than a couple hours. However the book is very clear and gives correct config and make options for each package and I never encountered an error that wasn't directly related to a typo of my own.
A very useful reference that isn't emphasized much in the book are the LFS Build Logs. These are the STDOUT logs for each compilation exercise, and show what normal output should look like. On a couple packages I noticed errors after compilation that I found I was able to ignore after checking the logs (relief!). It is absolutely essential that each package compile successfully. The key to a successful installation is being über-OCD.
As it turned out for me, the most difficult part was configuring a bootable kernel. Locating correct modules for my hardware was a bit of challenge; but after the third attempt I was greeted with a login and a bash prompt. 🙂
Not real pretty, not real shiny, but, well, real. 🙂
I plan to make several clones of the functioning LFS system and from there try adding a few things such as X (per instructions in the Beyond Linux From Scratch book).
To anyone considering building LFS; I would definitely recommend it! It was my first time doing much in the way of compiling at all; and my first source-based distro. The trick is just to take it slow; focus; and NEVER skip a step.

Flashback Legends Video Walkthrough
Flashback Legends was meant to be the second sequel to the platformer Flashback – The Quest for Identity, but never was released due to bankrup of Delphine Software. My Video Walkthrough, which you will find here shows you every level, even the unfinished ones and includes translations and subtitles made by myself. Come with me and explore the greatness of this version that will never see the light of day. Some weeks after my guide, a translated ROM was released as well. Continue reading
