Maher's provocative comedy has brought him 32 Emmy nominations over the past 21 years for his shows "Politically Incorrect" and "Real Time."
In 2008, he produced, wrote and starred in "Reiglulous," an irreverent look at organized religion that became one of the most popular documentaries of all time. He's also written five best-selling books.
But through it all he's continued to do stand-up comedy. He performs at least 50 dates a year across the country.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, June 13. They'll run you $35-$95. For information, call 941-953-3368 or go to VanWezel.org.

Waiting On Wednesday was created by Jill over at Breaking The Spine. It's a weekly post for you to share what upcoming books you can't wait for!
Folly by Marthe Jocelyn.
Publisher: Wendy Lamb Books.
Release Date: May 11, 2010.
Three fates intertwine in this moving and passionate love story set in Victorian London.
Mary Finn: country girl, maid to a lord in London
Caden Tucker: liar, scoundrel, and heart's delight
James Nelligan: age six, tossed into a herd of boys
When Mary Finn falls into the arms of handsome Caden Tucker, their frolic changes the course of her life. What possesses her? She's been a girl of common sense until now. Mary's tale alternates with that of young James Nelligan, a new boy in an enormous foundling home.
Okay, so there isn't a lot given away from that little blurb, but I think it makes it a lot more mysterious. And the cover is gorgeous! I cannot wait for this one!

I love Victorian settings too! And I'm looking forward to the great plot, though the cover keeps on creeping me out. It's pretty when I look closer, but I keep on thinking she has chickenpox or some kind of disease from far away. *shiver*ReplyDelete

My motto is: Change Is Good. I started grownup life as an illustrator. Took a break. Picked up a camera and a whole new world opened up--one that actually included people.
With a boat load of serendipity, I photographed people in other countries, people on my doorstep, and people in life-threatening situations. Some of those projects led to photoessays, articles, gallery shows, and a sweet gig interviewing and photographing interesting characters for a local newsweekly.
When a fellow photographer dragged me kicking and screaming to my first Photoshop class, I had no idea that a fusion of skills and tools was just around the corner. Check out my gallery of design and fusion art.
These days, I'm living and working in a tiny cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The stars are bright and there are plenty of bears to go around. Living large!

If you have any questions, please contact us:
Tel.: +49 (0)6221 / 84 44 0 E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
This event covers all aspects of specifications for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs = Drug Substances), biological substances and pharmaceutical drug products from an analytical and a registration perspective.
In the workshops the participants will elaborate specifications for drug substance and drug product based on different case studies, specifications of biotechnological drug substances / drug products – general part, specifications of biotechnological drug substances / drug products – related to the impurity profiles
These example specifications will be useful "take home messages" which will help the participants to define or to evaluate specifications in their daily work.
In the development of new pharmaceutical products it is a great challenge to establish meaningful and reasonable specifications, which are scientifically sound and appropriate for APIs (chemical and biological drug substances), excipients and drug products. According to ICH Guideline Q6A, a specification is defined as a list of tests, references to analytical procedures, and appropriate acceptance criteria, which are numerical limits, ranges, or other criteria for the tests described.
The analytical result, which will be compared to the specification, is affected by the variability of the measurement itself and depends also on the sampling process and on the variability of the manufacturing process of the tested product itself. This makes statistical considerations essential and consideration of the associated measurement uncertainties vital when setting or complying with specifications.
Analytical methods that were not "stability-indicating" are frequently cited in FDA 483s and Warning Letters. This conference will thus address how to set impurity limits for related substances and degradation products based on method capability and stability results. Furthermore, genotoxic impurities and strategies for their control will be presented and QbD (Quality by Design) will also be discussed.
Finally, specifications for the API (drug substance), excipient(s) and the drug product are part of the quality section of the marketing authorisation application which has to be submitted to the competent authority.
This conference is of particular interest to specialists from QA, QC and Regulatory Affairs departments of the API and pharmaceutical industry and CROs as well as to members of the EU inspectorates and authorities. Participants have the opportunity to exchange their experiences they gained with the different aspects of 'specifications' with the experts from the API and pharmaceutical industry as well as with members of competent authorities.

Credit Where It Is Due
Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Thank you for nominating me for this award but I have decided not to accept awards on my blog it was a very hard decision but I find it to stressful to pass them on to so very few bloggers as you know.

I don't know how I can say it differently, except maybe to be as explicit as possible: read Chesnutt and be a better human being.
Or maybe the second doesn't exactly follow from the first. After all, the LoA headnote says that Chesnutt is humorous when he writes about the color line in America and sometimes tragic, whereas it seems a lot more accurate to say that Chesnutt is humorous about a tragic situation that he also emphasizes the tragedy of.
Which reminds me of Dean Howells's response to Marrow of Tradition. I hate to go back to this (i.e., I love to go back to this), but when Chesnutt writes about a white riot and Dean Howells says that the book is "bitter, bitter," it feels less like a problem of Chesnutt's than a problem of Howell's. (It's like blaming the whistleblower for the problems of the institution. It IS blaming the whistleblower for the problems of the institution, except here that institution is American racism.)
This story is like the great movie The Women, sold with the tagline, "It's all about the men." Here's a story about the black community of Groveland (a disguised Cleveland) which barely mentions white people at all--but the story is really all about white-black relations. And yet, and here's why I think you should read Chesnutt, he also brings in class awareness and gender awareness: the protagonist is a well-off, light-skinned black man who is interested in marrying off his daughter to someone who is as well-off and light-skinned.
Naturally, this being a Chesnutt story, things don't go well for the protagonist, whose prejudice against dark-skinned blacks gets in the way of marrying off his daughter to a congressman. (Instead she marries a poor relation who has gotten into the family business, which is to say that the poor relation is marrying up and she's marrying without moving up. So she'll still be able to employ a white maid, like her parents do, but she'll probably not be totally accepted by the whites.)
That praise said, I do have to note that the story does sometimes make a joke and then make sure that we understand it, which feels a little old-fashioned.

I'm glad I didn't give myself too difficult of a resolution this year, because I've been a tad slow getting going. But I'm happy to say that I've sort of completed Step One of my 2010 Resolution to Be a Better Public School Mom: Getting organized.
I finally got my husband to hang my paper organizer in my kitchen last weekend. That was a major feat in and of itself. See the picture I took at right. (Next time, clear the cereal boxes and clutter off the counter first, Slob.)
I'm planning to use this for all of my son's important school papers and homework. But already that plan is going awry. I took a look inside my great new school organizer last night ...
I've got:
-- Three 2009 tax statements
-- My husband's school calendar
-- A few supermarket receipts
-- Car registration (gotta remember to schedule that inspection)
-- A toaster pastry wrapper
-- One marble
-- Not one sheet of homework or school papers.
So as I've said I've got a ways to go. It's going to be a long year. Please bear with me.
Are you sticking to your New Year's Resolutions so far?

What about you...have you picked up any of these? What are your favorite stamps?

Hey there, lovely people of the internet.
Yesterday, I was feeling absolutely, totally and unequivocally UNINSPIRED. I know. It's insane and that's what my mind almost went until I decided to just grab whatever was closest to me on my desk. Eyes closed, I plunged into the depths of my desk and well-ah! Pin-Up looked me straight into the eyes!

This lovely bright blue, bordering on neon crelly is quite the eye catcher, featuring multiple neon glitters.

Wayne Shorter is one of the top saxophonists and composers in jazz. It was, strangely enough, getting caught at 15 years old playing hooky from school that put him on a path into music. His punishment: enrollment in the music theory course at his Newark, NJ arts high school.
"The teacher was a disciplinarian, and before they sentenced me they asked me 'Where do you go when you play hooky?' And I said to the theater; one day they had a double feature film and a stage show," Shorter said. "They said 'You like stage shows, huh? Alright... You kinda like the music, you like what's going on on the stage, okay.' They picked up the phone and called Achilles D'Amico, the teacher there and put me in his class."
You know, this is like signs, reading signs," he said. "The first thing he said in that class was, he had three records on his desk, and he said, 'Music is going to go in these three directions. He held up the first record, it was a Latin record, with this singer from Peru, Yma Sumac, who had that eight-octave range, something like Minnie Riperton had. And then he held up Igor Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring.' Then, the third one was Charlie Parker. He said, 'Music is going to go in these three directions. And then he started to play Mozart's G minor No. 40."
Shorter connected with the beat of the piece as a drum and cymbal beat. "I said, Mozart plays jazz!"
And soon enough, so did Wayne Shorter, with Art Blakey, Miles Davis and Weather Report, all the while composing work Mozart likely would have appreciated.
Shorter brings his quartet of 13-year's standing to Jazz Fest, Sunday, May 5.

Omniyat to unveil new-look 'Opus' at Cityscape
Dubai, October 6, 2013
Omniyat, a leading developer in the Middle East, is set to unveil a reconfigured version of its landmark project The Opus, featuring Middle East's first 'ME by Melia' hotel at the Cityscape Global event.
Located in the Burj Khalifa district, the Opus will feature serviced apartments designed by renowned Arab architect, Dame Zaha Hadid and signature furniture designed or selected by Hadid.
The hotel will feature Michelin star food and beverage outlets spread across an area of 250,000 sq ft. The entertainment options will be selected from New York, Miami, London and Las Vegas.
Mahdi Amjad, Omniyat's executive chairman and CEO, said: "Inspired by Omniyat and designed by architect Zaha Hadid, The Opus will stand out as one of the most striking landmarks on the Dubai skyline and offer the hotel guests and residents of the serviced apartments a truly classy experience."
The project marks the foray into Dubai by ME by Melia, operated by Melia Hotels International, a leading hotel company that currently runs more than 350 hotels in 39 countries.
"The 95 m high Opus is a masterwork of design whose repertoire gravitates towards distinction and originality. Brookfield Multiplex has already completed 30 per cent of the construction," Amjad added. - TradeArabia News Service

Polo-shirts.co.uk are proud suppliers of Fruit of the Loom clothing, a brand world famous for providing quality, style and value for money. A global underwear and casual wear business, Fruit of the Loom employ over 30,000 people and their garments remain close to their original heritage; they are authentic, timeless and unmistakeably Fruit.
With 150 years of experience you can be sure that Fruit of the Loom is a brand you can trust for your clothing needs. We sell a large selection of the Fruit of the Loom range, simply because they are the best for quality, durability and value across a number of categories, from women�s fleeces to kids t-shirts.
Fruit of the Loom consistently produce garments that are best sellers in a variety of categories. For this reason our Fruit of the Loom range caters for all needs, across multiple price points.
Undoubtedly, our best sellers in the range are the Fruit of the Loom t-shirts. This may be a result of the impact Fruit of the Loom had on this classic garment's rise to popularity. The t-shirt became a definite part of our wardrobe vocabulary in 1951 when Marlon Brando smouldered his way through a Street Car Named Desire in a t-shirt. It caused a sensation and Fruit of the Loom was the brand of choice for those wanting to channel their inner Brando. The product that surged in popularity was the Fruit of the Loom pocket t-shirt, which went on to make apparel history; its flexibility securing it as a consumer favourite for decades.
We think Fruit of the Loom is the foundation of the t-shirt universe. In fact, their iconic t-shirts are the best selling in Europe. In our range we have a huge selection for men, women and children. These include: the heavy cotton t-shirt, children's t-shirt, long sleeve t-shirt, women�s scoop neck t-shirt, men's fitted value weight t-shirt and a whole host of other styles and variations. Men's baseball shirts, lady-fit organic t-shirts, v neck men's shirts - whatever your desire and whatever the event, we have a Fruit of the Loom t-shirt for you. These are garments that have been worn by millions of people over many years; there to launch a million construction projects, weekend games of football in the park and business deals. All exquisitely cut and sublimely comfortable, whatever the occasion there will be a Fruit of the Loom t-shirt that will give you great satisfaction.
Fruit of the Loom polo-shirts are also among our best selling products. In a variety of colours and composition they make ideal leisurewear and are a perfect fit for corporate events. The premium 100% cotton polo-shirt gets consistently brilliant reviews for being comfortable, durable and great value. It is a fully breathable fabric and abrasion-resistant.
The poly/cotton polo-shirt is another great Fruit of the Loom polo-shirt choice. Breathable, tear resistant and supremely comfortable this blend of cotton and polyester is very popular for work garments, particularly because of the great Fruit of the Loom price.
Also in our range are a selection of Fruit of the Loom sweatshirts, jogging pants and hoodies.

One of the specifications the in house testing teams focus upon is colour consistency and the lab makes sure that the colours are consistent across all products; an important consideration if you are using the items for promotional wear.
The Fruit of the Loom Story dates back to 1851 in Rhode Island, United States when Robert Knight opened his first mill and began producing quality cotton cloth and textiles. Five years later the brand name was born when Mr Knight, the textile owner, went to visit his friend, Rufus Skeel, who had opened up a small shop selling the fabric from Mr Knights Fabric.
Mr Skeel lived on a farm with a large orchards and his daughter began to paint pictures of the 'Swaar' apple and apply them to the cloth in her fathers shop. During his visit Mr Knight noticed that fabrics with the apple painted on were very popular.
This popularity inspired the trade name Fruit of the Loom and he kept the labels to be the symbols for his new trademark. In 1871, just a year after the trademark laws were passed, Fruit of the Loom became official and received the trademark number 418. This number demonstrates just how established Fruit of the Loom is. It is one of the worlds oldest trademarks, being older than Coca Cola, the paper bag and even the basic lightbulb. With over 160 years experience in the clothing sector Fruit of the Loom has grown to become one of the worlds leading apparel brand. Growth looks set to continue, as in 2002 Fruit of the Loom was acquired by legendary investor Warren Buffet.
While the Fruit of the Loom roots lie in America, European business is at the heart of growth plans for the future. Distribution covers over 20 European counties, with headquarters in our very own Telford.
Fruit of the Loom constantly updates its marketing efforts to show its customers all the aspects it has to offer. The original iconic marketing effort focussed around brand characters known as 'The Fruit of the Loom Guys'. They were very successful in increasing awareness of the Fruit of the Loom name.
In accordance with the Fruit of the Loom logo which consisted of an apple, leaves, green and purple grapes, four actors played the roles of four fruits. The 'Fruit of the Loom Guys' have been central to the brand since the 1980's and combine their comedic talents with rock musical stylings to bring the brand alive.
Today, the marketing efforts have been updated to represent the fashion forward elements of the brand. While known for its value pricing and durability, Fruit of the Loom also promises �More colors. More prints. More personality� and �You move. It moves with you.� To illustrate how comfortable Fruit of the Loom products are, the new adverts are themed around the slogan 'move to comfort' and feature skateboarders, ballerinas and gymnasts all performing in their Fruit of the Loom garments.
Take a look at the video and we are sure that you will agree that it is inspiring, high energy and the fresh sounding music emphasising the brands fun and colourful personality. All the people in this campaign are real people, each bringing the 'movement' message to life in different inspiring ways. It is built upon the idea that ease of movement in casual wear and underwear is crucial to comfort.
Today, Fruit of the Loom has operations across the globe, however, interestingly each nation has a different favourite product.
In America, Fruit of the Loom is synonymous with underwear and this is something to look out for in the UK in the future. In fact, it was Fruit of the Loom that started the trend for branded undergarments with a series of promotional innovations that had never been seen for underwear. It became the first underwear company to advertise on national television and use celebrity endorsement (Fruit of the Loom were also the first company to show a woman in a pair of panties on network television!). At one point British comedian Terry Thomas was named spokesperson, as advertisers thought that a British advocate would lend an air of quality and endurance to commercials!
Over the course of the 1980's Fruit of the Loom evolved in an overall apparel company, but underwear is still a strong part of the brand portfolio in America.

Neighborhood Joint
A series of articles profiling favorite local haunts.
What's your neighborhood joint?
There are two entrances to Butcher Block. Open the door on the right and you will see a long butcher's counter. At the end of it is a sign: "We Sell Boiling Bacon." Open the other door, just a few feet away, and you quickly pass a wall — probably 10 feet high and 20 feet long — made up entirely of British potato chips and candies, with names like Wispa, Drifter, Catch, Topic.
Despite its name, Butcher Block, which opened 15 years ago in Sunnyside, Queens, offers much more than just meat. It has become the primary Irish importer for Sunnyside and nearby Woodside, neighborhoods with longstanding and still robust Irish populations. I have been visiting the store for most of the four years I have lived in the area, but had bought only meat — marinated flank steak, mostly — and candies. Clearly there was much more to the place, so I decided to get an unofficial tour.

If you're a parent with an active Facebook account, or really anyone who uses FB, there's a good chance you've been sent the following message:
"ATTENTION!!!!!!!!! Do not join the group currently on Facebook with the title "Becoming a Father or Mother was the greatest gift of my life." It is a group of Pedophiles trying to access your photos. This was on Fox News at 5. Please copy and post!!! Let's keep our children safe."
I'm pretty stingy with my group joining (and when I do, it's usually something cantankerous like "I Hate Cilantro"), so the first time I received this message I ignored it. However, when I got the post from a third friend, I thought it was worth checking out. If this group really preys on the cute photos of my friends' kids, I shouldn't stand around and let it continue.
So, I did what I'd previously assumed everyone does before stamping their name on a cause -- I went to Snopes.com to ensure the threat was legit (and that I wouldn't look like an idiot for jumping on the bandwagon).
I was both relieved and surprised to find it was a hoax. According to Snopes, the hoax began before there was even a Facebook page of that name in existence. Pranksters are so thrilled with its success that they've continued to keep it going by adding things like "This was on Fox News at 5…" And now, eight months later, the joke is still alive and well.
So why did so many of my friends fall for it?
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about how parenting in the United States is an exercise in fear. My friends were conned because we are programmed to believe the worst. As a mom, the message I get is to be on the constant defensive. Danger is everywhere, from the park (squirrels, sharp twigs, rusty playground equipment) to the grocery store (god forbid they eat something non-organic) to any and every stranger (pedophiles are everywhere!). My sister's young son is now utterly petrified of stepping into sunlight without a heavy layer of sunscreen.
Today, we congratulate ourselves on being so much more advanced than our parents when it comes to child-rearing. For starters, I'm hard pressed to think of one friend who smoked or drank regularly while pregnant (and yet, the majority of these friends received a steady diet of alcohol and nicotine from their own moms while in utero). But, I wonder, are we just swapping one sickness for another? Maybe, with this constant fixation on safety (by way of fear), we are breeding a crop of intense neurotics, the likes of which have never been seen before.
Did you fall for this hoax? Do you think we've become overly worried?

Blueberry Coconut Vegan Pancakes
How in the world did I used to not like pancakes? Lately, I've been in so love with a big stack of weekend pancakes and these blueberry coconut vegan pancakes are no exception.
Blueberry, coconut, maple syrup…need I say more?
Made with whole wheat flour, unsweetened coconut and plenty of berries, these vegan pancakes are filling and delicious. They're really easy to make with ingredients you probably already have on hand.
I've really gotten the hang of vegan pancakes. My simplest recipes being 4-Ingredient Fluffy Vegan Protein Pancakes and my Whole Wheat Fluffy Vegan Pancakes, both recipes only require a few ingredients and can be made in minutes. Now what to put on pancakes? There are so many options!
Toppings for Vegan Pancakes
maple syrup
Earth Balance
peanut butter
almond butter
hemp seeds
fresh berries
sliced banana or apple
shredded coconut or toasted coconut flakes
cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger
chocolate sauce: maple syrup, coconut oil and cocoa powder
raisins, goji berries or dried fruit
What are you favourite pancake toppings?
As for replacing eggs in recipes like these vegan pancakes, I almost always use flax eggs. To make a flax eggs, add 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed with 3 tablespoons of water, stir to combine and let sit for 5-10 minutes until thick and gooey. Now you have a flax egg! Make sure you use ground flax seeds rather than whole flax seeds, otherwise you'll just have some seeds in water!

"Something I Didn't Expect"
There's nothing much in the way of food or shopping on this street, but this surprising beautiful neighborhood might be worth checking out if you're looking to settle down in the city… but not in the city. There is a lot to offer housing wise and there was plenty available. From what I could tell, the buildings were up kept pretty nicely and there were a lot of older, more established people, as well as a range of ethnicities. All in all, it was a nice change from stagnating Washington Heights.

The background displayed behind part of our page may be different depending on when the page is displayed.
Most of the variables that we work with are not Boolean. We convert other variable types into Boolean values by performing comparisons. We can compare two values to test if they are equal. When they are equal then the comparison returns true and when they are not equal then the comparison returns false. If we compare two numbers to see if one is greater than the other then if it is greater then the comparison returns true and if it not greater then the comparison returns false.
JavaScript uses comparison operators to compare two numbers, text strings or other data types to return a Boolean result of true or false.
Once we have a Boolean value (either from a Boolean variable or returned from a comparison) we can then test that value to decide what code to run next. JavaScript performs this test using an if statement. We can have the JavaScript perform any number of completely different tasks based on the decisions that it makes by performing these tests.
In this series of tutorials we will explore the different ways that JavaScript provides for performing comparisons and performing tests in order to decide what code to run.

Golf Software
Orçamento $20-100 USD
I have a golf Ebook. I am looking to turn this book (available in html, pdf, and [url removed, login to view]) into a software program.
The end user would submit / enter a golf term that they are having a problem with (i.e. driving, slicing, cocking of wrists, getting tired, missing putts of 10 yards or more) and the 'software' would give them the top results (i assume based on a wild card match search function).
I envision this to be a .exe file, but am not opposed to storing this in HTML files in a 'members only' section they would access.
Input areas required would also be name and email address.
I need an open minded programmer who doesn't mind a change on the fly, and can suggest alternatives if they have them to the scenario above.
I have uploaded a file that would be the graphic for the software.

European Walnut Burr Veneer (European Walnut Burl)
European Walnut is also called English Walnut, French Walnut, etc and is found across Central, Western and Southern Europe, and also cultivated in parts of Asia and Africa.
European Walnut sapwood is whitish to yellowish brown and it is common practice to steam or stain the sapwood to match its colour with that of the heartwood, which is light to dark brown or mouse grey, often with dark growth lines.
The grain of European Walnut veneer is slightly open and usually straight, but may be wavy or irregular and the texture is usually coarse, but uniform. The decorative pattern is highlighted by silky lustre varnish and this wood is also extremely suitable for polishing.

One of the fondest memories I have of my childhood remains to be of my two trips to the National Bal Bhawan, Kotla Road, New Delhi in 2001 and 2002. The event being the Annual National (later, International) Children's Assembly organized by the Bal Bhawan generally in the third week of November in celebration of Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru's birth anniversary ( November 14). Now those of you (I'm sure most) not aware of the magnitude of the event, it brings together five to ten children each from the 80 odd Bal Bhawans across India to stay at the National Bal Bhawan for a week amidst cultural performances, competitions, talks, workshops, etc. So that makes it around 600 children from every nook and corner of India and some other countries coming and staying together in the complex (huger than you can imagine, right in the heart of New Delhi) and music, art, dance, theatre, literature and so much more.
For the first moment, spine chilling, intimidating. 11 years of age (my first time), alien city (then, we lived in a gated township at Unchahar, secure and cocooned), no parents. Only your bunch of friends and your escort. But equally was the idea exciting, meeting new people, seeing and learning new things, making new friends and…. no parents !!
|The Director, Ms. Amita Shaw and children at a recent assembly
First things first, the living bit. All the girls put up in dorms. The boys in the two floors of their makeshift emptied Research Training Center. People from neighboring cities, towns grouping together, with their mattresses next to each other. Common toilets and bathrooms (some with hot water). Even though the early winter chill gave reason enough to bathe only on alternate days, still there would perpetually be a queue. And, also there always were these other kids (read better) that were up early, bathed every day, never missed the breakfast timings and their morning stroll. :P
But the most amazing part of the whole fiesta was the cultural events, a host of talented children showcasing their parts of the world. From Baul music from West Bengal, to the endangered art form of Kalamkari from Andhra Pradesh and the Sambalpuri dance from Orissa, everyday one discovered the awesomeness of our country a little more. And in all that, meeting like-minded people and making friends.
|So much fun !!!
Another strong memory is of PCO shacks, outside the complex, we had to walk to, post dinner, to make phone calls back home. Yes, there were no cellphones then(which also meant staying with your group all the time) and calling parents every alternate night was obligatory. We had to cross this huge play field to reach the main gate and outside it. And in the slightly chilly breeze, it was quite a journey. Also, it so happened in all years, that one of the assembly days used to be Eid. Devotees sitting on crisp white bedsheets offering prayers would line the Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg (I found out the name later)in the morning and the catering staff would cook up the most delicious Vermicelli Kheer for dinner dessert.
Anyone who has ever been to the Bal Bhavan as a child shall forever remember the place for what it is. So do I, quite vividly so. My later associations with the Bal Bhavan have only further strengthened my sense of belonging to the place. And it is only this belonging that keeps pulling me back to it and relive those cherished memories.

Postcards, a modern form of communication within Europe and America, saw huge rise and rapid dissemination between 1880 and 1920 – a period also known as the heyday of the colonial empire. The initial postal mailing cards, officially printed by the Austrian government in 1869, were 'cards without pictures'. With the ability to convey short and quick messages economically, early postcards gained currency among the masses but were allowed to be sent only within one's own country. Modern postcards with 'pictures' sent across national boundaries emerged in late 1880s with the upgradation of photographic technology (Kodak cameras and processing) to produce mass images in reduced exposure times. This was also accompanied by a new collotype process of colored lithographic reproductions. The collection of coloured illustrations and authentic photographic images of picturesque landscapes, exotic people, monuments of distant lands, as souvenirs, was a new way to comprehend the modern world and orient oneself with the fast circulating knowledge. But modern picturesque postcards as 'collectibles' shared a legacy with earlier mass produced carte de visites.
Carte de visites – a form of photographic portraiture of 9x6cm – developed in 1854, by the Parisian photographer Andre Adolphe Disderi, was the earliest form of mass produced 'cards with pictures'. They were collected, arranged and exchanged among friends and relatives, only to find a place within the recipient's designed private album. By 1860 to 1870, to pose in the photography studio, in full regalia or in ones best dress, for a personalised carte de visite was all the rage within Europe. Realism in photography, the construction of the 'self' (identity) in front of the camera and the circulation of the image within the public sphere, was a unique experience allowing people to develop a sense of collective urban/modern community. It brought 'familiarity' among individuals who were grappling with the 'strange' maze of the metropolis experience. In Britain, seeing the popularity of cabinet cards, John Edwin Mayall's album of the British Royal Family was commercially released in 1860 and became a phenomenal success. Collecting commercially produced carte de visites of exotic subjects like native kings, royal families, Nautch girls (from Imperial colonies) and of well-known figures such as Queen Victoria, famous actresses and sportspersons, became a part of fashionable bourgeoisie class hobbies. Soon production and circulation of such commercial images within the colonial cultural systems became part of the modern 'visual economy¹'. Princely kings within India or on their numerous travels to London emulated British royals by enthusiastically posing in the photography studios, only to gain visibility within the imperial circuits, by letting their iconic images appear in London newspapers, magazines and photo-albums.
At the turn of the last century, when Indian kings were actually losing their power and were under direct suzerainty of colonial rule, circulation of their iconic carte de visites became a way to recover some of their past power and symbolic wealth in public. State photographers were employed by Indian Maharajas to capture their leisure activities, courtly proceedings and family portraits to build their powerful imagery. It was this successful phenomenon of 'collection' and 'diffusion' of one's images as a celebrity or as a powerful dignitary within the public sphere that led to the commercial release of various royal albums as carte de visites, which later got transfused onto the surface of inexpensive modern postcards. Celebrity carte de visites, and later postcards, had wholesale and retailer shops in London, France, Germany and other important global centers. Colonial postcards travelled through various international circuits by being photographed in colonies, printed in Europe and posted further afield ant the senders' whim. Through such dissemination they became part of people's collections across the globe.

Among the topics discussed are federal and provincial human rights codes, federal and provincial human rights tribunal decisions, and decisions of Canadian courts involving internationally recognized human rights. The course will pay close attention to the roles of law, social attitudes and social activism in developing, respecting and enforcing human rights.
LGLS 2500U – Information and Privacy Law
Information and privacy law examines two intersecting yet separate areas of law: privacy law and information law. The privacy law portion of the course will consider the privacy rights protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, public and private sector legislation such as the Privacy Act and the Protection of Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and the development of other causes of action addressing invasion of privacy by individuals. The information law portion will address the principles of open government and open justice, along with analysis of access to information legislation. The interplay between the two areas of law will be a persistent theme throughout the course.
LGLS 2940U – Legal Research Methods
The objective of this course is for students to gain basic legal research skills that can be applied to any legal problem, as well as a critical understanding of research methods used in the interdisciplinary field of Legal Studies. The student will learn traditional methods of legal research, such as locating and interpreting relevant case law and legislation, as well as research skills for placing legal issues in a broader social context. Students will also be exposed to a variety of social science and humanities research methods that inform the field of Legal Studies.
LGLS 3100U – Administrative Law
This course will introduce students to the body of law that governs administrative decision-making in a variety of areas, including immigration, human rights, labour relations, business regulation, land use planning, information and privacy and others. It will explore the rules and principles governing administrative decision-making (rights of individuals concerned, independence and impartiality of decision-makers, administrative discretion), principles of their judicial oversight (scope and standards of review) and remedies available.
LGLS 3130U – Family Law
This course provides the basis for understanding legal and policy-based regulation of the family and familial relations. It will focus on the regulation of familial relations at three major points: the formation of family, its ongoing functioning and its dissolution. Among the topics examined are common-law unions, marriage, divorce, adoption, custody, spousal support, dispute resolution and others. The impacts of socio-cultural norms about family life on family law, as well as issues of race, gender and sexual orientation will be discussed. This course is essential for students who intend to pursue a minor in mediation.
LGLS 3200U – Sociology of Law
This course examines the various philosophies, theories and perspectives that form the theoretical underpinnings of a sociological understanding of law. The focus includes perspectives influenced by classical and contemporary (including feminist, critical race and post-colonial) theorists. These theoretical perspectives will be applied to understanding the social dynamics of law, legal professions and the legal system.
LGLS 3220U – Philosophy of Law
This course explores the nature of law by examining fundamental legal concepts such as justice, authority, legal rules, and the obligation to obey. Students will learn to critically analyze patterns of legal reasoning and the goals they serve.
LGLS 3230U – Law and Globalization
Law has been traditionally understood as a state-created and state-enforced phenomenon. However, recent developments across the globe challenge this view by drawing our attention to the role played by non-state actors (NGOs, international organizations, corporations, and transnational entities) in generating norms, and implementing international and transnational rules. This evidence suggests that states are 'disaggregating' and that their powers and immunities are being redistributed to these non-state actors, which are increasingly becoming centres of authority in their own right. This course will introduce students to theoretical perspectives on law and globalization and will assist them in developing an appreciation for the complexity of regulatory frameworks and patterns in today's world. Topics may include:
- economic regulation and international trade
- impact of technological change
- international justice and advocacy
- migration
- security
- state sovereignty and post-conflict reconstruction
LGLS 3240U – Cultural Studies of Law
This course explores cultural studies approaches to law. Part of the course will be dedicated to developments in legal scholarship, including law and literature, law and film, and law and popular culture. Students will become familiar with methods of reading cultural texts that deal with the law in various forms (such as courtroom dramas and legal thrillers, or texts dealing with divorce or other social phenomena which engage the law). Students will also study ways in which cultural studies scholars examine the law itself (such as cases or legislation), or place the law in a broader cultural context.
LGLS 3300U – Disability and the Law
This course examines disability from a human rights perspective. Students will be introduced to different theories and historical approaches to disability, domestic and national documents dealing with disability rights, and mechanisms established to protect rights of disabled persons both nationally and internationally. The course will examine how law defines and treats disability in such contexts as employment, social assistance, medical treatment, criminal law and education.
LGLS 3310U – Indigenous Peoples, Law and the State in Canada
This course is an overview of the evolution of Canadian law as it relates to Aboriginal peoples, including the history of the Indian Act, treaty rights, Aboriginal rights under the Charter, legislative jurisdiction, self-government, and land claims. We will discuss the role of Indigenous traditional jurisprudence in shaping Canadian law, and how law has been and continues to be used as an instrument of oppression against Aboriginal peoples in Canada. International aspects of Indigenous rights and legal claims will be considered
LGLS 3320U – Race, Ethnicity and the Law
This course introduces students to the analysis of how racialized groups are treated in the Canadian justice system. It examines the way Canadian law has been used to ensure both difference and sameness of treatment of racialized and ethnic minorities. Students will examine litigation and legislation under the Charter, and critically consider the existence of structural discrimination.
LGLS 3330U – Gender, Sexuality and the Law
This course examines gendered and sexual orientation inequities in the legal system, primarily through analysis of the legal regulation of sexuality, reproduction and family relationships. The course approaches topics from a critical perspective. Specific topics may include legal regulation of:
- birth control and abortion
- child custody and adoption
- gender changing
- marriage and divorce
- pay equity and labour issues
- reproduction
- sex work and other sexual activities
- sexual orientation and gender-based violence
- survivor rights
LGLS 3410U – Labour and Employment Law
This course will examine both collective and individual aspects of work relations, as well as regulation of unionized labour force (labour law) and regulation of individual employment contracts (employment law). The labour law component of the course will examine collective bargaining, unionization, industrial disputes, regulation of strikes, lockouts and pickets. The employment law component of the course will examine the formation of an individual employment contract, rights and duties of employees and employers, and termination of contracts. Pay equity, occupational health and safety, employment standards and human rights will be addressed as issues relating to both employment and labour law. Students will gain basic understanding of the Ontario Labour Relations Act, the Ontario Employment Standards Act, and the Ontario Human Rights Code.
LGLS 3430U – International Human Rights
This course familiarizes students with major international and regional human rights documents, national implementation of human rights obligations, and the international bodies created to monitor the compliance of state parties to human rights treaties. Topics that may be discussed include prohibition of torture in the context of the war on terror, the right to life and the death penalty, human rights and development, as well as various humanitarian and human rights issues arising in conflict situations. In addition, the course considers the role of non-state actors such as international organizations, NGOs and multinational corporations in the human rights process.
LGLS 3510U – Censorship and Freedom of Expression
This course examines the legal tensions and social dynamics of censorship and freedom of expression. Some of the substantive areas that may be considered are:
- advertising as expression
- hate
- pornography
- political expression
The importance of Charter cases will be analyzed.
LGLS 3520U – Law and Technology
New technologies engage the law in at least three ways:
- They may become the object of regulation.
- They may affect the application of the law to human interactions.
- They may affect the procedural elements of the law (such as evidence law).
The course will examine the ways in which both historical and recent technological inventions engage and are engaged by the law.
LGLS 3530U – Intellectual Property
This course is an overview of the ever-expanding and shifting intangible property at the centre of the information society. The course will address copyright, patent, trademarks, personality rights and trade secrets. Students will examine the Canadian legal regime protecting and limiting protection of intellectual property, and place it in the context of the challenges wrought by internationalization and technological change.
LGLS 3600U – Family Mediation
This course examines conflict not only in the traditional two-parent family situation but also in emerging single and same-sex parented families. While the main focus will be on conflicts created during marriage breakdown, separation and divorce, emphasis will also be given to issues of intergenerational care and abuse involving both children and the elderly. Skills and forms of practice leading to the creation of parenting plans and separation agreements will be examined against the backdrop of the emotional, social and legal forces affecting the participants. Family relations mediation, family financial mediation and family comprehensive mediation with emphasis on the development of parenting plans will be considered.
LGLS 3610U – Employment and Mediation
Mediation in employment involves conflicts relating to the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements and the conditions of employment. It also involves the grievance processes that arise out of those agreements on an ongoing basis and require alternative self-determined, informal, dispute-resolution processes in addition to the possibilities of arbitration or litigation. It may also include the mediation of interpersonal disputes in the workplace. Students in this course will be expected to understand the legal framework of employment and will demonstrate an ability to create win-win solutions to typical conflicts in this area.

Scotty Wiseman's "Brown Mountain Light"
Sightings of the mysterious "Brown Mountain Lights" have been verified back to 1922, though stories surrounding them apparently go back at least sixty years earlier to the Civil War era and maybe before. Brown Mountain is near Linville, NC, and that estimable town provides a fine and comprehensive brief history here:
Perhaps a little background information is in order here for readers who have never heard of the lights. Brown Mountain is a long sloping ridge on the edge of the Blue Ridge lying within U.S.Forest Service land at an elevation of some 2,600 feet.... One of the three main viewing points of the lights is at a roadside pull-off on highway 181. The other two look outs are at Wiseman's View...and the Lost Cove Cliffs overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway (milepost 310).
Since their first recorded sighting by the German engineer Gerard de Brahm in 1771 the
lights have attracted scientific scrutiny. Explanations for these mobile spheres of glowing light have ranged from nitrous vapor to ball lightning, from foxfire to a fourth form of energy known as plasma. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted an investigation of the lights in the 1920s, publishing findings that dismissed the lights as man-made...
About the only thing that most experts can agree on, however, is that the lights tend to
appear in late summer and autumn on cool evenings following some rainfall. Those fortunate ones who have seen them speak of the experience as wondrous and unforgettable. Mention the topic ofthe lights in just about any gathering in the Blue Ridge and cries of "Have you seen them?" and vivid anecdotes will swiftly follow.
Without further ado, the star of the show - from a few years back, one of several good videos of the lights on YouTube:
The song was one of the last that was penned by Nashville Songwriters Hall Of Fame member Scotty Wiseman (1908-1981), who partnered for most of his career from the mid-1930s til 1958 with his wife Myrtle Eleanor Cooper under the name "Lulu Belle and Scotty." (pictured above) They were regulars on The WLS Barn Dance broadcast from Chicago in the 30s and 40s - I've mentioned the program before as the main competition in the vast mid-section of the country for Nashville's Grand Ol' Opry. Wiseman wrote a string of hits that included "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?" (the country number recorded by Jim Reeves, Rick Nelson, Elvis Presley and many more - not the Rod Stewart/Van Morrison song), and Cooper contributed the classic "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight?" to the American song bag. The duo retired in '58 when Wiseman completed an M.A. from Northwestern University and went on to a teaching career; Cooper ended up as member of the NC House of Representatives.
"The Brown Mountain Light" song apparently dates to the early 50s. According to the Linville village web page cited above, Wiseman heard the legend of the slave and the lantern from his great uncle Lafayette "Fate" Wiseman, a drover born well before the Civil War and the man for whom Wiseman's View above is named. Great nephew Scotty always liked the story and came up with this:
I'm a bit more inclined to cut Wiseman some slack about the "faithful old slave" bit than I am for Hollywood depictions, both because of his own pre-modern 1908 birth date and because he was re-telling the story as he and others had heard it from Uncle Fate. But I still get more than a little uncomfortable with any attempt to romanticize slavery in the U.S., especially in the century after it was abolished. GWTW is in most respects a great movie, though unfortunately the somewhat dignified and Academy Award-winning portrayal of the house slave Mamie by Hattie McDaniel is counterbalanced by a truly vicious stereotype in the younger girl played by Butterfly McQueen ("I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies"). I treated the subject at greater length when I wrote about the spiritual "My Lord, What A Morning" last October.
Sonny James' #1 country hit version has been removed from YouTube, but shortly after James's rendition Tommy Faile had a rockabilly-tinged hit with the song:
The 1962 date of James' hit suggests that it is the immediate antecedent of the 1962 version by the Kingston Trio:
The KT also seems to have borrowed James' idea for the narrative opening and that guitar lead in. John Stewart is doing a really creditable banjo arrangement here - which gets all but lost in the awful horns- and percussion-littered cut on the '62 Something Special release.
The Country Gentlemen also did "Brown Mountain," though I cannot find a date in their discography. It seems not to predate the KT's version, though the latter group freely borrowed material from the Gentlemen's first few albums, including "Jesse James", "Long Black Veil", and "Poor Ellen Smith". They do a classic bluegrass arrangement here:
Finally, two non-professional but really good folkish versions, first by Ronda Foust of Tennessee doing a clawhammer banjo accompaniment:
That's a fine banjo performance by Ms. Foust, and it shades the country composition toward folk wonderfully. She mentions that she first heard the song from the Kingstons.
And a bluegrass jam session, from Townsend,TN in 2008:
That's Bruce Fox on mandolin and lead vocal. I love to hear folk-styled music this way - being able to join in sessions like this is one of the chief attractions of going to the Trio Fantasy Camp in August each year. We'll have to see how many folkies remember and like this one when we assemble again in Scottsdale this year.
Addendum - July 2012
Just found this gem - bluegrass master of everything Tony Rice from a few years back:

...it's a rare treat to find a teacher in any field, whose passion for his subject is happily contagious.
Jim Moran is such a teacher, and the legend of the Brown Mountain lights is another example of his mastery of his craft...thanks, Jim...

As Alaska's largest oil producer, ConocoPhillips continues to invest in projects on the North Slope.
In October 2015 first oil was announced at our long-anticipated CD5, the first oil development on Alaska Native lands in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. CD5, an extension of the Alpine field, is exceeding its original production target of 16,000 BOPD gross, and is currently producing approximately 20,000 BOPD gross average, year to date. In April, ConocoPhillips announced that funding was approved for additional wells and associated on-pad infrastructure to increase production at CD5. The additional wells and infrastructure will bring CD5 to its full design and permit capacity. The cost of the project is estimated at approximately $190 million, which includes construction, drilling and well tie-ins.
New Kuparuk Drill Site 2S (DS2S) celebrated first oil in October 2015. Both DS2S and CD5 came online early and under budget.
We have two new-build drilling rigs: a rotary rig called Doyon 142 that arrived on the Slope in winter 2016, and a coiled tubing drilling rig called Nabors CDR3, that is slated to begin drilling later this year.
In November, 2015, ConocoPhillips announced that funding has been approved for Greater Mooses Tooth 1 in the NPR-A. Production from GMT1 is expected to come online in late 2018 with approximately 30,000 barrels of oil per day, gross, at peak production. This past winter we also had an active exploration program, with three wells drilled in the NPR-A.
These new projects represent significant new investment, and create hundreds of jobs during construction. The CD5, DS2S, and GMT1 developments represent $2.7 billion (gross) in new North Slope projects. Peak gross production when all of these projects are on stream is estimated at 30,000 to 40,000 BOPD. The passage of tax reform in 2013 has been a significant factor in ConocoPhillips' Alaska investment decisions.

The Cost In Making Money
Think about making money. The recent founder and creator of Alibaba, a man in China, 15-20 years ago in his apartment, began with a website selling products. Today, he is a billionaire. His costs to start were nominal but as he made money he reinvested the money and made more money!
Ah, but that is not what this about. It is about the costs in making money, American currency, and is there a point to it anymore because it is not cheap. Well, it is necessary because there is no cashless society and probably never will be. But, the one coin that is a nuisance and one that most will just toss away is the penny. So far, in 2014, the US government has made over 7 billion of them. That is more than all other American coins combined. The U.S, Mint makes them not because people want them but because banks demand to have them. For some bizarre reason, 25% of all pennies simply vanish from the currency. But there is more, the U.S. government spent $114 million in making this most annoying coin. It spent $83 million in making nickels, $72 million in dimes and $133 million in quarters..
But it is not cost effective to make the penny. It actually costs 2.5 cents to make 1 cent, while to make a nickel, it costs 11 cents. For an odd reason, a quarter (25 cents) can be made for a dime (10 cents). Does ANY of this make economic sense? Nope. However, the average coin made stays in circulation for 30 years. hmm, so maybe the investment IS worth it? Think of many times a quarter made in in 1980 has exchanged hands and it is still working!
Congress insisted that the U.S. Mint make a penny for less than it is worth. After a lot trying using different alloys and compositions, they gave up. The cheapest a penny could be made for was for 1.5 cents. Most pennies made now are comprised of zinc not copper. But getting rid of the penny from the US currency is a serious issue that the American government has debated, I kid you not. Back in the 1800's, the US made some odd denominations, such as, three and 2.5 cent coins. Can you imagine dealing with 2.5 cent coins?
If America ever gets enough nerve to get rid of the penny, it will join other countries that did so, like New Zealand, Australia. Heck, the Zealanders even got rid of their 5 cent coin.
I am not bashing the penny, but it is such a useless coin and the cost to make it is simply not worth it.
