German - standard

Course overview
This German course builds on the four fundamentals of language: listening, writing, reading and speaking. 'Free' class discussions, role-playing and conversation help develop verbal expression, vocabulary and good sentence structure.
Grammar is not studied in isolation; rather it is packed in informative and stimulating texts that provide valuable cultural, political and historical background. Some topics covered include: relationships, social life, jobs and labour, history of Berlin, cultural identity.
Teaching method
Our partner school in Berlin teaches in tandem, with two teachers responsible for every class, and alternating at every break. That way students get to hear more than one voice and speaking style. The focus is on the following:
- Communicative approach with teachers encouraging students to speak as much as possible
- Teachers continuously correct students and encourage them to repeat and do better
- German is the only language spoken in class, from the first day onwards
All teachers are native speakers between 26 and 45 and have an academic background with degrees – for example – in German language and/or literature They all have recognised teacher training qualifications and most of them have been with GLS for many years.
The teachers have a reputation for being enthusiastic and give excellent communicative tuition which combines the function of a coach and a teacher.
Many of the school's teachers have expertise in other fields (photography, journalism, business consultancy etc) which inspire their teaching and make them interesting people to talk to.
Teaching materials
Text books: studio d, Themen aktuell (levels A0 – A2), Aspekte, Mittelpunkt, em (levels B1, B2, C1),Oberstufenbuch (level C2) – GLS constantly monitor new publications and may employ additional text books that seem appropriate
Hand-outs like newspaper articles, literature etc.
Multimedia-teaching with CDs, OHP, video and video camera
For self study students can borrow books and audio tapes from the library
The school offers a daily activity programme to complement and enhance your language studies. Each week there is a list of activities available, posted in the student common room. So activities are free. Others there is a small charge.
Activities include such things as a boat trip around Museum Island or a bike tour along the Berlin wall.
At night GLS guides take you to Friedrichshain: a young and rather alternative district famous for its nightlife
There are also trips on offer to see "Kunstwerke", one of the best addresses for independent art in all of Europe - the cafe there has good cakes! Your author of this masterpiece has eaten far too many cakes at this wonderful cafe and is now on a diet!!
At the week end the school gives you the opportunity to go on full day excursions (extra cost), with a GLS guide to places such as Potsdam, or to Sachsenhausen, a former concentration camp. Every second week the school arranges excursions to places further away like Dresden, Hamburg or Leipzig.

0 Recipe #95: Pomegranate Mojito
A friend recently asked me if I had a recipe for a pomegranate mojito. I told her that even though I didn't know of a recipe off the top of my head that I could probably come up with one and post it on my blog. :)
Since Erik was going to be stopping by the grocery store after work that night anyhow, I asked him to add some POM, a pomegranate, & some limes to the shopping list.....
So, here's the recipe I came up with, which I'd like to dedicate in honor of my friend. :) Of course, I taste-tested it for recipe-posting purposes, and am happy to say that it turned out rather well! Hope that both you and my friend will enjoy it! Cheers!
Pomegranate Mojito
crushed ice
6 Tbsp. pomegranate juice
2 tsp. pomegranate seeds
1 Tbsp. white rum
4 Tbsp. chilled club soda
Directions: In a tall cocktail glass, combine lime juice, honey, and mint leaves, & smash together with a pestle or the back of a spoon. Fill glass half-full with crushed ice, and then pour in pomegranate juice & seeds, rum, & club soda. Stir together well with a spoon, garnish with a sprig of mint &/or a lime wedge, & serve.
Alternate Method: Crush mint with a spoon at the bottom of a tall cocktail glass. In a cocktail shaker, combine all ingredients except the mint, shake well, & strain pomegranate mixture into the glass. Stir well & serve.
To make this drink non-alcoholic, just serve without the rum, substituting another tablespoon of club soda for the rum. It still tastes really good!
Yield: Serves 1.

Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod.
BAYSIDE SUMMERS is a series of standalone steamy romance novels featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, always passionate, and easy to relate to.
In Bayside Desires...
As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous job working with his best friends and brother, and a thriving business in Washington, DC, which he'll be returning to at the end of the summer. Spending time with his family is great, but being back on Cape Cod has unearthed painful memories. When sweet, smart, and overly cautious Desiree Cleary moves in next door, Rick is drawn to the sexy preschool teacher, and she just might prove to be the perfect distraction.
Running an art gallery was not in preschool teacher Desiree Cleary's plans, but after being tricked into coming to her impetuous, unreliable mother's aid, she's stuck spending the summer with the badass half sister she barely knows and a misbehaving dog. If that's not frustrating enough, she can't escape the sparks igniting with her strikingly handsome and pushy neighbor, Rick, who makes all her warning bells go off.
Passion ignites as Desiree and Rick spend long summer nights sharing heartfelt confessions and steamy kisses. For the first time in years Rick is enjoying life again instead of hiding behind mounds of work miles away from his family. Desiree has touched him in a way that makes him want to slow down. Only slowing down means dealing with his demons, and he isn't sure who he'll be when he comes out the other side.
All Bayside books can be read as standalone novels or as part of the series:

Bayside Desires is an adorable read. The book caught my attention from the start. The way Desiree and Rick meet is the beginning of a perfect summer romance.
Both characters have a lot on their plate.
Rick owns a company with his two friends. He seems like the person who has it all, but is it enough? His instant spark with Desiree leaves him wanting more.
Desiree receives an unexpected and cryptic message from her mother. Desiree didn't always have the best relationship with her mother, yet she still rushes to her mother's aid. Her mother is right that some things are meant to be and happen for a reason. Desiree has much to learn about herself, her family, and possibilities for the future.
The story kept my interest, and I can't wait for more.

As I told you in a previous blog entry, Fall is my favorite time of year! One way you can tell is by the amount of pictures I take and by the amount of batteries I use! Today we went ahead and made a family trip to the pumpkin patch. This would be our last opportunity to take Braden before Halloween, with school and being out of town next weekend. This makes Braden's 8th annual visit and Kaybrie's 2nd annual visit. We visited PumpkinTown at 81st and Mingo in Tulsa. The kids had a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy the slideshow!

Research proves that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) consumers are highly brand loyal and frequent gay-friendly businesses. In fact, 94 percent will go out of their way to purchase products or services marketed directly to them.*
But how do businesses begin to market to the largest affluent market in the United States? It's simple: know your customer and market directly to them.
The opportunity
- The LGBT market includes more than 19 million people with more than $800 billion aggregate spending power in the United States (Witeck-Combs 2011 study).
- Their average household income is $81,500, or about 80 percent higher than typical U.S. households (2009 CMI study)
- LGBT consumers are highly brand loyal and will go out of their way to purchase products or services marketed directly to them (Greenfield Research & Kinsey Report)
Segment trends and insights
- 71 percent of gay men and 62 percent of lesbians own a smartphone**
- Attending LGBT events are key motivators within the LGBT community**
- Approximately 3 percent of gay men and 19 percent of lesbians indicated having children under 18 living at home**
Companies must begin by entering the conversation and then build brand loyalty. To do so, you must authentically communicate your message in a way that is sincere and targeted. Below are a few successful examples that I have experienced with clients.
- Join LGBT organizations, such as the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC)
- Offer discounts or specials to LGBT consumers
- Develop an LGBT email database of your customers and market directly to them with LGBT-branded advertisements
- Sponsor local, national or international Pride events
- Host a contest to send customers to a Pride event
What are some ways that you have targeted LGBT consumers? Tell us in the comments below, or tweet us using the hashtag #mcgblog.

GoProSolar is the leading supplier of residential solar panel installations in our part of Texas for many reasons. One of them is that we use the highest quality solar panels currently on the market. Combined with our years of experience in the home construction industry and our strong, ethical business practices there's no reason to look anywhere else.
In case you do, thought, one of the questions to ask any provider of solar panels for your home is what brand of solar panels will be used for the project.
At GoProSolar, we install high quality solar panels from Solar World. With so many providers in the marketplace, why did we choose them as our provider?
Here's why:
Solar World is an established company with over 40 years of experience in manufacturing solar panels. In recent years, interest in the financial benefits of solar and consumers interest in more renewable energy resources has resulted in many entrants into the solar manufacturing arena. However, only Solar World has the real depth and breadth of experience it takes to serve our customers.
From an installers perspective, no other company comes close to matching Solar World in terms of service and support. That's because they are an American company with their US Headquarters located in Oregon. Solar World is the top choice for solar panel installers who hold themselves to high quality and customer service standards.
We find that many of our customers are interested in a high-quality product that will help them save money on their electric bills for years to come. That goal can only be achieved when the panels installed stand the test of time. Solar World performs extensive testing on their panels so that they withstand normal wear and tear and are tough enough to withstand weather hazards, too.
If that's not enough, we are proud of the track record the have established as an ethically run business that provides good jobs for American workers. In recent years, they have been recognized numerous times in such categories as the most recommended provider by US installers, sustainability in solar manufacturing, green manufacturing, and as the Manufacturer of the Year (2016) for Portland, Oregon.

West Wood Realty, Ltd. is a commercial real estate brokerage and development related company specializing in the following real estate property areas-- Offices: sales, leasing, and development; Industrial : sales, leasing, and development; Charter Schools and Churches: sales and leasing; Shopping Centers: development, sales and leasing; Commercial land: sales, leasing, and development; Ranch and Farm sales; Investment property: facilitating sales and purchases including 1031 driven transactions; Master Planned Communities: from initial entitlements (planning, annexation, and zoning) to sales and development for large private and public partnerships.
West Wood Realty began in 1996, when three realtors, each with years of experience, made a strategic decision to pool their talents and form a new real estate company named this new company West Wood Realty, Ltd. John Black was a native New Mexican and John March and Jim Haworth originally hailed from Montana. Their goals were simple: Honest, Experienced, Reliable Real Estate Service. All three brokers had owned and operated their own companies before, and each had also owned, developed, leased and sold a variety of businesses from small retail pad users to very large ranches. As their new company formed, Jim Haworth's friend from Oklahoma, Don Chalmers, invested in West Wood Realty. The three brokers and their investors started the biggest commercial real estate office on the West Side of the Albuquerque Metro area.
Since then, we've recruited some excellent professionals to the West Wood team. In August 1999, Shari Hollins joined as our office administrator, bookkeeper, and associate broker. Today, Shari is still the heart and soul of West Wood Realty! In the 2000s, John Morrow joined West Wood as a broker and a few years later, Greg Campbell and Rod Smith also came on board. Following the 2003 death of John March to cancer, the West Wood brokers rededicated the company to succeed the way John March would have expected—with the highest standards of honesty, integrity, reliability, and experience. In 2010, Morrow, Campbell and Smith all became owner-brokers, adding to the company's strength.
West Wood Realty brokers and staff have the depth, expertise and capacity to respond quickly to the needs of our clients, which provides users and investors with multi-market solutions, completing quality projects on time and within budget. Unlike most real estate brokers, West Wood Realty brokers are owners of real estate projects which adds to our ability to assist our clients attain their real estate goals and protect our clients from changing market conditions.
West Wood brokers assist their clients with real estate problems they may face during economic recessions and position them to take advantage of the future up-cycles in the market. West Wood brokers have extensive experience spanning several economic recessions and recoveries.
Our real estate team has decades of experience in New Mexico properties and are extremely knowledgeable in the Westside Albuquerque Metro Market and Rio Rancho areas. West Wood Realty should be your real estate company for all types of business and investment property including New Mexico ranches and farms.
West Wood and its affiliated brokers are looking forward to doing business with you!

So I asked on my Facebook page for some suggestions for what to do for this month for some Halloween themed Template Tuesdays. I got some good suggestions, thanks you guys! One of those was something less gory and more light-hearted. So I thought I would do something with a pumpkin. Originally I thought I'd do something with maybe a little mouse and then I thought, I don't love mice, I love squirrels! And then the inspiration just started flowing. Here's one little squirrel scaring another on her Halloween route.
Here's what the template will look like. This papercut is more on the beginner end of things, so if you've been wanting to try it out, this might be a good one to start with. The most difficult part is the curly cue coming off of the pumpkin. Make sure to cut out the inside parts first.
Download your free template here: Scary Squirrel. Please use these templates for personal use only. Happy Halloween!

So after about a week Mike and I set aside a few days to really make some progress. We had the most difficult task ahead of us: Within the least amount of time, knock out the old foundation and replace it.
So thats what we did. Jake, a neighbor of ours dropped off a couple of extra house jacks and we completed jacking the room up on a set of 4×4″ posts that were connected to the walls. Since we had to replace the bottom board of the walls themselves we had to jack them up separate from the floor. The floor was supported by crawling underneath and supporting with cinder blocks and shims.
Once we trusted the supports we knocked out the wood and old brick. We were amazed with how easily it came down. Check out these videos!
Dave removing wood and turning it to Dust
Mike removing brick and walk around of floating room
To replace the foundation we removed the old brick and set cinder blocks on a layer of mortar on top of the existing footer that was poured from when the room was built. Basically the blocks were just stacked using a cement glue to hold them together. The weight was really on the corners because the back side of the room is connected to the rest of the house, but we added extra support on the back as well. On top of the blocks is a green treated barrier on which the new 2x12s set. Basically, we put the whole thing on stilts!

ZeroHedge Blogger outlines how Bernanke and the Fed could finally go Bankrupt!
Welcome to Capital Account. The Federal Reserve came out with its interest rate decision today. They voted to keep rates at essentially zero, and hinted that they expect them to stay there until at least late 2014. Before we get into what this decision means with our guest English Bob, contributing editor for Zero Hedge, let's start with a little story.
Once upon a time, there were these things called "prices." The market (i.e. you, me and Joe six-pack down the street) determined them with every single transaction we made. Although we still use prices in our everyday lives in order to make decisions, these prices are no longer freely determined by the market. They are distorted, and the source of that distortion rests at the FOMC.
By controlling interest rates (the price of money) through their control of the supply of money and credit, the Federal Reserve and global central banks have destroyed the market's price mechanism. The difference between direct price controls, like what we have seen in communist countries, and what we have in the United States today, is only one of degree. The government does not set the price of bananas or computers, but it does set the price of money and by doing so, distorts prices across the entire economy, thus destroying price discovery and the very essence of a free market.
Another way to think of the FOMC's setting of interest rates is to compare it with rigged "democratic" elections. Let's have a look at one of America's popular demons, Saddam Hussein. In the Iraqi elections back in 2002, the now deceased dictator reportedly won 100% of the popular vote. People were photographed at the polls, and every one of the more than 11 million eligible voters participated, according to the government. But who believes that the price mechanism of democracy was actually working in that country?
The same principle holds in the market for money and credit. We have interest rates, but they are rigged, and rigged by a central authority of 12 (or right now technically 10) unelected bureaucrats. We have prices, but they are distorted. We have the vestiges of a free market, just as Saddam had the vestiges of democracy, but they are in a coma.
To tell us what the Fed has done, and what it continues to do to the real economy and to the free market, we have contributing editor for the popular financial blog Zero Hedge, Bob English, on Capital Account today. He is also editor of Economic Policy Journal.

Lead Agency Dispute: Town of Granby v. Fulton, New York
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner's Determination of Lead Agency Under Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law
PROJECT: Proposed annexation of land from the Town of Granby, Oswego County, to City of Fulton, Oswego County
DISPUTING AGENCIES: Town Board of the Town of Granby, Oswego County, New York v. Common Council of the City of Fulton, Oswego County, New York
I have been asked to designate a lead agency under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQR"; codified in Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law ["ECL"] with implementing regulations at Part 617 of Title 6 of the Official, Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York ["6 NYCRR Part 617"]) to conduct the environmental review of the City of Fulton's proposed annexation of 65.9 acres (the "territory") from the Town of Granby, Oswego County to the City of Fulton, Oswego County. The designation of the City of Fulton ("City") as lead agency for this review is based on my findings that the potential impacts from annexation and future development of the territory will have a greater effect on the City than the Town, and that the City has the broadest authority to conduct the environmental review as the owner of the non-submerged property within the territory. If the annexation proceeds, the City would possess the broadest authority to implement any findings resulting from the environmental review of the proposed annexation.
Action and Site:
The action involves a petition by the City to annex 65.9 acres of territory from the Town of Granby (Town) to the City. A portion of the property, 20.9 acres, consists of underwater lands owned by the State of New York underneath the Oswego River (but under the territorial jurisdiction of the Town). The 45 acres that is not owned by the State is owned by the City. The City's wastewater treatment plant occupies a portion of the site. The City states that its purposes in annexing the territory are to facilitate the efficient provision of services to its property, and to reduce its operating expenses and tax liability to the Town of Granby. The City contends a reduction in its tax and operating expenses would defray the cost of improvements to the wastewater treatment plant required under the Department's consent order with the City.1 The plant provides wastewater treatment services to both the City and large portions of the Town. At the same time, the City indicates that it has contemplated developing a portion of the territory not in use by the wastewater treatment plant for passive recreational use. However, it has no present plans to do so or to sell the property to private owners for other types of development.
Regulatory Setting:
The role of lead agency may only be assumed by an involved agency with authority to make discretionary decisions on one or more components of the overall plan. The determination of public interest which a municipality must make prior to granting or denying an annexation petition, pursuant to General Municipal Law (GML) §711, is a discretionary approval subject to SEQR. City Council of City of Watervliet v. Town Board of Town of Colonie, 3 N.Y.3d 508 (2004). As stated by the Court of Appeals in that case, "[a]nnexations are often the first step toward the development of real property and may involve a change in municipal services or land use regulation. A principal goal of SEQR is "to incorporate environmental considerations into the decision making process at the earliest opportunity" [citations omitted]. Id. at 518.
The Town and City must each review and then grant or deny this annexation petition. They are, therefore, each involved agencies, and both have stated their interest in serving as lead agency. There do not appear to be any other involved agencies.
Annexation typically involves a change in land use or a desire for public services that may be more readily available from one municipality than another. Typical impacts from annexation are primarily fiscal but may also be environmental.
In resolving a lead agency dispute, I am guided by the three criteria listed in order of importance in 6 NYCRR Part 617.6(b) (5) (v):
- whether the anticipated impacts of the action being considered are primarily of statewide, regional, or local significance (i.e., if such impacts are of primarily local significance, all other considerations being equal, the local agency involved will be lead agency);
- which agency has the broadest governmental powers for investigation of the impacts of the proposed action; and
- which agency has the greatest capability for providing the most thorough environmental assessment of the proposed action.
A. First Criterion
The first criterion asks whether potential impacts from the proposed action are primarily of statewide, regional, or local significance. While both disputing agencies acknowledge that the proposal would likely cause impacts of only local significance, the stated impacts appear to be fiscal rather than environmental ones. Following annexation these would be primarily potential impacts from a loss of tax revenue to the Town and a gain in such revenue for the City. Nonetheless, assuming that there may be some environmental impacts, the City is also the landowner, which arguably gives it a larger stake in the annexation process and any future land use decisions affecting the territory proposed for annexation. As a result, I conclude, this criterion favors designation of the City of Fulton as lead agency.
B. Second Criterion
The second criterion is breadth of authority. Both the Town and the City have the authority to approve or to deny the annexation petition. However, in addition to having authority to act on the annexation, the City, as discussed above, is also the landowner (of the territory) and operator of the waste water treatment plant. The City points out that whether the annexation succeeds or fails it will continue to have a significant property interest within the territory. Following annexation, the City would also acquire a territorial interest. The City is also the agency principally responsible for carrying out any actions necessary for management of the City's waste water infrastructure. Based on the foregoing, I conclude that the City has the broadest authority to implement the environmental review of the annexation.
C. Third Criterion
The third criterion relates to the capacity of an agency to provide for a thorough environmental assessment.
Both parties to this dispute possess the necessary staff or the ability to obtain the assistance of consultants to undertake an adequate environmental review for the proposed action. Therefore, there is no real distinction between the disputing agencies as to the third criterion.
Arguably related to the third criteria, the Town contends that the City would have a conflict in discharging its lead agency responsibilities because it would benefit from any future development of the territory, and, therefore, should not be designated to serve as lead agency. The City counters that the Town also has a conflict in that its decisions would be motivated by the potential loss of tax revenues rather than environmental considerations. In past lead agency annexation disputes, the Commissioner has indicated that the possible motivation of the disputing agencies is not relevant to resolution of the dispute. See, e.g., Commissioner's lead agency decision in Town Board of the Town of North Greenbush v. City of Rensselaer, September 25, 2008, and Commissioner's lead agency decision Town of Queensbury v. City of Glens Falls, April 14, 1997.2 Further, Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and its implementing regulations compel the result here, notwithstanding any asserted conflict, inasmuch as a lead agency is defined as the agency with principal responsibility for carrying out or approving an action, which in the case of direct actions usually means the agency undertaking the action. See ECL §8-111(6) and 6 NYCRR §6l7.2(u).3
After considering the relevant criteria under 6 NYCRR Part 6l7.6(b) (5) (v), I conclude that the City of Fulton must be designated as the lead agency for the environmental review of the proposed annexation. Because the City is the actual owner of property within the territory proposed for annexation, it would be directly affected by the outcome of the annexation proceeding.
Further, under the second criterion, the City not only has jurisdiction to approve or deny the annexation petition but it is also the agency with the greatest breadth of authority over the annexation area. Thus, the City would be best able to implement any findings resulting from the environmental review of the proposed annexation.
My decision does not change or diminish the jurisdiction of the involved agencies. Impacts identified by the Town, along with any other involved agencies, must be considered during the review of this project. The record developed during the environmental review must support the decisions of each agency. Accordingly, I encourage the Town, as well as any other involved agencies, to actively participate in all phases of the environmental review of this proposal. In particular, I encourage the involved agencies to identify the information needs and impact evaluations necessary to support their decisions. I further encourage the City to openly facilitate that participation.4

Under the order on consent, the City is required to upgrade and modernize its grit removal and digester mixing systems.
2 Commissioner lead agency dispute decisions are published on the Department's website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/6186.html.
3 In cases where the project sponsor is also the lead agency, the public may legitimately fear that the project sponsor/lead agency would not be able to objectively review its own project. SEQR does, however, have its own built-in checks and balances, namely its public process and disclosure requirements and the willingness of the courts to scrutinize agencies' compliance with SEQRA. See Gerard, Ruzow and Weinberg. Environmental Impact Review in New York, §3.03[1] (LexisNexis 2011).
4 In discharging its duties as lead agency, the City should review its classification of the action as Unlisted based on the Town's assertion that the annexation proposal includes the Oswego River which, according to the Town, is a recreation area within the meaning of the SEQR statute. If this is the case, the proposal likely exceeds the 25% threshold requirement under 6 NYCRR Part 617.4(b) (10).

Keep up with Maw here:
Born in Queretaro, Mexico, on March 28th of 1991, Mauricio Villalon Altamirano is better known as "Maw," a Mexican extreme metal drummer. He started to play drums when he was 14 years old and immediately got caught up in the heavy sound. He has toured in his country many times with different bands. In 2015 he experienced for the first time touring in Europe, visiting countries like Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Slovakia, Austria, Belgium, Italy, and Netherlands.
Also he has performed in Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica) and in big international festivals like Hell and Heaven Metal Fest, and Knotfest, sharing stage with acts like Slipknot, Rammstein, Behemoth, Suicide Silence, Deftones, Slayer, Meshuggah, Avenged Sevenfold, Epica, POD, Sepultura, Veil of Maya, Miss May I, As Blood Runs Black, Within the Ruins, After the Burial, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Septicflesh, and more.
Maw is a very dedicated musician, every day he is thinking about becoming better; he has the aspiration to continue improving his career in a bigger standard.
A few words from Maw:
"The years do not go in vain, what was once your hobby today becomes the main reason to live your life, and take the path that many people start and that maybe a few ones only get it. It´s clear to me that time rewards the days, months and years of work, perseverance, and dedication; and believe it or not, falls and mistakes also helped a lot, and I am glad these things occurred myself once upon a time. There are many things that involve success, it´s just about working in our dreams and trying to be who they say you cannot be; I hope to continue growing as a drummer, and also as an ordinary human being, with goals and aspirations. Daily work with never giving up is the right way to be someone."
Maw's Gear:
- Kit: Pearl ELX (three toms: 12, 14 and 16 inches)
- Snare: Pearl Dennis Chambers Custom Signature
- Cymbals: Sabian
- Pedals: Axis AL-2 Longboard
- Electronic drum kit: Yamaha DTX.
MAW Interview:
SDM: How old were you when you started playing?
Maw: My mother bought me my first kit when I was 14; It was a Christmas gift. Immediately she signed me up for drum lessons and there I started to learn basic things. I can say that I started playing at 15, but my first live show was at 16.
SDM: Did you play in a school band or any drum corps?
Maw: Never. My first band was at the age of 16 here in Queretaro Mx, it was called "Faster Elite." Now I am 25, and right now I play in "The Arcane Hate," "Darkside Ritual," "Rapture," and in a new project called "Deathmask" with some experienced members here in the metal scene in Mexico.
SDM: Who are your top 5 metal influences?
Maw: I admire a lot of bands; some of them are Behemoth, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Nile, As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, The Faceless, I have no favorite, everyone has something that another doesn't, and vice-versa
SDM: Who are some other of your favorites?
Maw: I like all kind of metal music, I can listen to a metalcore band like "Parkway Drive" and immediately after a black metal act like "Dark Funeral." For me, it's very important to not close the door to any kind of music.
SDM: Let us know 5 CD's that are in your current rotation.
Maw: Behemoth – Demigod, Fleshgod Apocalypse – Agony, Vital Remains – Dechristianize, Killswitch Engage – The End of Heartache and As I Lay Dying – Shadows Are Security.
SDM: What do you do to warm up before a show?
Maw: I used to warm up like a half an hour before every show. Sometimes a complete hour in order to achieve a really great performance. What I do is I focus my mind, 100% physically and mentally, backstage completely isolating myself. With my earphones, I listen to the complete setlist, and with my muted snare I play the songs. Also, I do some foot, arm, and wrist stretching exercises.
SDM: Do you read music? Regardless of answering yes or no, please tell us how it might have affected your playing?
Maw: Yeah! I remember that my first drum teacher told me that it was very important to read music to totally know what you are playing. My very first drum lessons were not playing the instrument but were to start writing the drum notations on the staff. Reading music helps me a lot because whenever I make new songs with my bands, I write all the drum parts so that I don´t forget haha.
SDM: Can you tell us about the gear you use?
Maw: Mi kit is a Pearl ELX (three toms: 12, 14 and 16 inches). My snare is a Pearl Dennis Chambers custom signature; my cymbals all are Sabian, and I use an Axis AL-2 Longboard. I also have an electronic drum kit which is a Yamaha DTX.
SDM: If you could give one piece of advice to young drummers, it would be…
Maw: To never give up for any reason, even if the situation may seem difficult, always keep pushing; to be constant, to love what they do, to always learn new things, and to work on your dreams without caring what other people can say.
SDM: Who gave the best live performance you've ever seen?
Maw: I have had the opportunity to watch different bands of world quality, Undoubtedly Rammstein (although it's not my favorite band) made a really amazing performance in the last Hell and Heaven Metal Fest, that was held in Mexico and where I had the opportunity to play (being my first experience on a stage with thousands of people). In the same way, I saw Meshuggah (In the Knotfest Mexico, where I also had the opportunity to play with my band The Arcane Hate). Fleshgod Apocalypse and Behemoth are some other bands that impressed me a lot.
SDM: Aside from drumming, what else do you like to do?
Maw: I usually work in the media, my father has dedicated himself to journalism all his life, and I remember when I was a kid, I was interested in what he used to do until I got involved in it. I have worked with him, and so on in a couple of newspapers. In my free time, I listen to new music, exercise, even though I eat a lot haha, and spend time with friends and family.

- Nice, but I prefer a bit of spandex in the blend to help hold the fit.
Very soft and comfortable, but a loose fit (even sizing down). Fabric tends to bag at the knees fairly quickly, so not the best choice to wear with skirts. Loved the burnt orange color.
- Soft and wonderful!
I LOVE these leggings! Finally, I've found 100% cotton, soft, beautiful leggings that do NOT have spandex in them. I'm allergic to spandex and have been searching for leggings like this for 3 1/2 years. I wear them all the time. Please make more colors in the ankle length! Thank you so much, Fairindigo. So glad to have discovered you!
- 100% cotton!!!!!
Thanks for making 100% cotton leggings. I am so tired of spandex being in everything. I bought an x-small and they fit perfect in length and size, overall. I am 5'3", 112lbs for reference. I actually am not a fan of leggings and don't think they equate as pants..... but have some dresses that require me to wear them. They were always uncomfortable and I suspect it was the spandex and other plastic fabric. These are great. Might be able to wear those dresses more often! I will buy more, for sure.
- In love with these leggings!
I love these leggings and soon will be ordering my third pair. They are buttery soft and the most comfortable leggings ever. Everything I have ordered from Fair Indigo fits perfectly. I am 5'10" and 128 pounds. The medium size is just right for me.
- Soft and Great Fit
super soft and fits well
- Comfortable leggings!
Love the fit of these comfortable leggings. I am about 5' 5.5" and ~135lbs with post-baby belly and the medium fits me great! I always have to buy the "short" jeans so the legs are not too long on me, so I measured my inseam before purchasing, and these leggings hit right in the middle of my achilles tendon--so great length on me, personally. I think the regular leggings on this site would be too long for me. I bought the black and heather grey. I hope they come out with more colors in my size!
- Softest leggings ever!
These leggings are gorgeous, soft, and comfortable. I bought them in the 3 available colors and I am wearing them frequently. The fabric is very lightweight, so they are good for mild weather but would not be warm enough for winter.
They are true to size in the fit on top, but I might call them "capri" length, as they do not reach my ankles even though I am pretty short. Also, if you have slender ankles, they may be a little loose at the bottom.

Arabic Literature (in English): Translating Al-Saddiq Al-Raddi
Last week I went to one of the Poetry Translation Centre's collaborative translation workshops, where we translated one of Al-Saddiq Al-Raddi's mesmerizing, labyrinthine poems - with the poet himself present.
I wrote about the experience for M Lynx Qualey's blog Arabic Literature (in English), which is known to be an absolutely essential resource for people interested in just that. If you click on the "poetry" tag, it will bring up a wealth of interesting stories about the translation of Arabic-language poetry.
You can read my writeup about the workshop here: http://arablit.wordpress.com/2013/11/18/in-the-room-at-the-poetry-translation-centre-reading-al-saddiq-al-raddi-2/
Here's a excerpt:
"The translator who had produced the literal English version, Samuel Wilder, had selected a sequence of poems from which Saddiq had deduced that he was a) a bit of a romantic and b) possibly interested in Sufism, which is a huge influence on Sudanese poetry and was especially evident in these poems. The other poems were shorter, had charming details about butterflies, and while also complex were probably a little more straightforward. So, naturally, the group chose to go for the long, extremely difficult poem…"

What an interesting expericence. The poet must be a very laid back person, I imagine not that many writers would like to sit in a room helping others translate his poems.ReplyDelete
The poem "Longing" is very intense. I wonder what it sounded like in Arabic. Did the poet read it aloud at the workshop? xReplies
I've met him a few times now... I guess he is pretty laid back. Also, only some of us spoke Arabic (not me, besides a few years) and he's still learning English - who knows, maybe that made things easier... ;) A lot of his input was along the lines of either "yes, this word/expression pretty much means what you think it does" or "well actually, this word has several meanings and in the context of the poem it means something else still". Seriously! It was perhaps an overly challenging poem for a workshop, but it was still a really interesting experience. I think a lot of its references were very Sudan-specific or Sufi-specific.Delete
He did read it in Arabic first - when translating a poem, or even hearing the completed translation of the poem, it's always best to hear the original first. You just get a sort of sensory feel for it, even if you don't speak the language at all. It definitely sounded intense, particularly the repeated words. Arabic is a very intense rhythmic language, hard to reproduce in English.

For the matzo tortillas: In a bowl, work the fine matzo meal, warm water, oil and salt very well together with your hands until a soft dough forms. Form twelve 1 1/2-inch balls, and roll between plastic wrap to form a tortilla shape.
Preheat a nonstick griddle or pan over medium heat. Cook the matzo tortillas on each side until lightly brown, flipping once.
For the brisket tacos: Set the oven for 325 degrees F. Sprinkle the brisket with cracked black pepper and kosher salt. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Place the brisket in the pot and sear on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. When the meat is browned, remove from the pot and set the brisket aside. Reduce the heat under the pot.
To the Dutch oven, add the carrots, celery, onions and garlic, and let cook for about 5 minutes. Add the tomato puree, chipotle puree, cumin, oregano, thyme and bay leaf. Saute the ingredients together. Once the ingredients have cooked 2 to 3 minutes, add the beer and bring to a boil for 1 minute.
Return the brisket to the pot and pour in water until it covers the meat. Bring the liquid to a boil, and then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover with aluminum foil and place the pot in the oven until thoroughly cooked and tender, 2 to 3 hours. Remove from the oven. Let the meat rest and cool in the braising liquid.
Once cooled, remove the brisket from the liquid and cut into slices. Set aside.
Pour the braising liquid into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Then pour the braising liquid back into the pot and reheat over medium heat. Return the sliced meat to the pot and let it reheat in the sauce.
To assemble and serve: Serve 2 matzo tortillas per plate. Fill generously with the braised brisket. Then add 1 tablespoon tomatillo salsa, avocado and Horseradish Crema to top. Sprinkle with the cilantro leaves and serve.
Mix together the crema, horseradish, vinegar and salt.
