On Monday morning, the internet was abuzz with sad news: ‘RIP ~ Paint’ – most media wrote –  nothing to do with ‘liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition that, after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film’.  This is about the Paint that every Windows user tried their hand in using and drawing something of their choice !!
The news was - Microsoft, has announced  killing off Paint, the seminal drawing program that has been around since the first release of Windows in 1985. Читать дальше...

Looking for a fun way to spend your weekend? Wrigleyville is the place to be this Saturday for the Mustache Crawl. Starting promptly at 10am, crawl from bar to bar with a group of friends while sporting an awesome ‘stache at Chicago’s #1 bar crawl.

As anyone with a chronic illness will testify, good days are hard to come by; like trains they are often nowhere in sight and instead you must take the crappy alternative bus service and make do with getting through the journey of the day. A lot of the time, it can even be a little scary to feel 'good' as you just keep wondering when it's going to be pulled from under you and in my case, a good day is often followed by many bad ones.

Well, let's just look at Saturday and Sunday forget Monday (yesterday... Читать дальше...

So far, in Part 1 we learned about how English and Sanskrit are related, so some of those mysterious words you’ve been hearing will actually easy to remember if you connect them with the corresponding English words (for example, supta for supine and kona for corner/angle). Then in  Part 2 we learned some of the Sanskirt words for different body parts that commonly appear in pose names (for example, pada for foot and mukha for face). 
Today we’re going to look at modifiers that frequently... Читать дальше...

The results from last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

Which is the better strategy for influencing Labour or Tory policies?

Join the party and agitate from the inside - 11%
Vote for another party whose policies you agree with - 89%

Which is what I have observed. I'm relieved that so many agree. Thanks to all who took part.

Monday flowers on a Tuesday - better late than never has never been more apt! Life in my household can only be described as chaotic this year with travelling children and an assortment of guests coming and going on a regular basis. Days of well planned routines seem like a distant memory but I am not complaining as I know come the autumn my daughters will be settled in new cities with new jobs and my son will be starting university, leaving us as true empty nesters - at least until the Christmas holidays.

There was supposed to be a fundraising dinner in Lakewood during the Nine Days for some benefit called "the good of Clal Yisrael".

I don't know what that means, but it seems this is a backdoor way of raising money for the yeshiva BMG in Lakewood. I don't know why they need to do it like this and can't raise explicitly for Lakewood, but this besides the point.

The dinner was set to be an uppity ...

BDS activists try to prevent everyone and their cousin from coming to Israel, but they have no problem coming to Israel themselves and then cry when Israel prevents them from doing so.

If they want to boycott Israel, boycott us completely and just stay away. And if they think it is ok to boycott Israel, they should not cry when Israel decides to boycott them.

A town in northern New Jersey called Mahwah is fighting against the influx of new Jewish residents by fighting the eruv. They assume that if they can get the eruv removed, the Jews won't want to live there.

We will see if they are right or not. They did successfully get the eruv banned and removed. 1200 signatures on a petition made the township force its removal. The eruv builders had received permission to attach plastic tubes to utility poles, and the city is considering these tubes and pipes to be signage that must be removed. Читать дальше...

This lovely delicious salad I created a few weeks ago. We came back after a long weekend away & what were e going to eat? We watched in our garden, fridge & pantry & I came up with this:

I am, of course, sympathetic to Tom Roberts' recent essay in National Catholic Reporter calling on Catholic clergy and hierarchical leaders to confront the clericalist base of the abuse crisis in the Catholic church. This argument echoes an argument made powerfully by one witness after another confronting the abuse crisis and its ...

Why thesis writing can be a great idea for private business

There's no need to explain why studying is a challenging experience. It becomes even more challenging when a student has to combine study and work, which happens more often than not. No wonder that at some point students start struggling with the workload they have - and this is when using a professional writing service becomes an option, especially when it comes to thesis writing.
Since this trend shows ...

The prevailing challenge within the IT community today is successfully igniting the passions of innovation while remaining focused on delivering the operational excellence required for sustaining a company. As a matter of course and history, we know that there is no compromise in keeping the operations running effectively for the business. So the real question becomes, "how do you integrate a focus on innovation without crowding out the emphasis you've placed on reliably delivering IT operations?"... Читать дальше...
