Let’s stop conflating the creationist hoi polloi with skeptical climate scientists.
My friends on the left make much of the apparent correlation between creationism and skepticism about assured climate disaster. It is the “some–all fallacy” writ large. “Some” climate scientists who happen to believe in intelligent design, a variant of creationism, also question the high-sensitivity climate model. Therefore “all” who hypothesize that warming has been overblown must also question evolution; i.e., they are ignorant dolts.
Note to the Left on this one: No one — scientist or otherwise — has yet come up with the definitive explanation of the first life forms on earth. There is no conclusive bridge between self-replicating molecules capable of mutation (a definition of life) and the primordial, lifeless, dimly-lit planet Earth of some 3 billion years ago. So even the most erudite thinkers must resort to aliens, life-bearing comets, God — or, in my case, beats-the-heck-out-of-me.
My lefty friends are somewhat condescending towards skeptical climate scientists. Who hasn’t heard of Chris Mooney’s drivel that Republicans (in general), and those who think climate change isn’t horrible (in particular), are mentally ill? I guess it’s a good way to win an argument; after all, I think the people I disagree with are nuts, too.
Article continues below this advert:
The “some” of the fallacy is the University of Alabama’s Roy Spencer, a climate physicist who argues (as do I) that the “sensitivity” of climate to dreaded carbon dioxide has been overestimated in computer models. Spencer also believes in intelligent design.
Spencer’s chosen form of belief to explain the mystery of the first life on Earth is hardly germane to a rational discussion of his interpretation of climate findings. There are plenty of productive and successful scientists who go to church — most of which preach that God created man. And there are plenty of good scientists who don’t.
So far as I can tell, the percentage of climate skeptics who are also religious is about the same as among the entire population of climate scientists in general. Some apocalyptic warmists believe in God, too, you know. At the University of Virginia, where I spent 30 years in the Department of Environmental Sciences, most of my colleagues didn’t attend church, but some did. There was little correlation between their religious beliefs and their scientific success. While the atmospheric scientists in that department were known for their skepticism about the upcoming climate disaster, none were churchgoers.
Away from academia, some creationists are successfully pushing state legislatures to dictate that their point of view, as well as global-warming skepticism, be a part of the public-school curriculum. These people are not just skeptics about climate change, but, rather, skeptics about science itself, because it is inconsistent with their belief system. Biblical literalists don’t like the easy demonstration that the Earth is billions of years old — and that’s merely the beginning of their complaints about science.
The lesson is that in the civilian world, people with strong beliefs try to manipulate science. But in the universe of scientific professionals, belief has little bearing on science. (This does not mean that there are no inherent biases in environmental science, but that’s a separate topic.)
While literalists are uncomfortable with science, they (generally) will go to a physician for science-based treatment, and (most) will immunize their children. That’s because they obtain gain — relief from pain, prevention of disease — from accepting modern medical science. Scientific skepticism is suspended when it can cost your life.
But things are different when a belief extracts no cost, which is the case with creationism. It doesn’t get suspended. On the other hand, science should be vigorously questioned if it indeed leads to massive societal costs, as must be the case if global warming is portrayed by scientists as a calamity.
It should not be forgotten that scientific history is littered with discredited theories that were once universally accepted as truth. I and others hypothesize that we will one day add to that list the dogmatic beliefthat global warming will spell the end of humanity as we know it. On that day, the river of criticism about the dangers of blind faith will flow in the other direction.
Let’s stop conflating the creationist hoi polloi with skeptical climate scientists. The mystery about how life arose on earth is simply unrelated to global-warming science, no matter what those scientists might believe.

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired the North American and Eastern European rights to director Ramin Bahrani’s At Any Price. Dennis Quaid stars as an ambitious farmer who is a father to a rebellious son (Zac Efron) with aspirations of race car driving. An investigation into the family business brings the pair together in order to preserve their livlihood.
In other acquisition news, Drafthouse Films has picked up North American rights to Wrong, from Quentin Dupieux (Rubber). The picture centers on Dolph Springer (Jack Plotnick), a man embarking on a metaphysical journey to find his lost dog, while encountering strange characters along the way. Hit the jump for more on both projects.
After a rough pre-production period, filming is finally underway on Oscar-winner Gore Verbinski‘s adaptation of The Lone Ranger. More importantly, Disney has released the first synopsis for the movie. It’s not big on details, but the gist is that Tonto (Johnny Depp) talks about how he teamed up with John Reid (aka the Lone Ranger; played by Armie Hammer) and how they bonded during their adventures. It’s an origin story/buddy movie, and that seems like a fine approach to the material. The devil is in the details, but we shouldn’t expect on hearing those for quite some time.
Hit the jump for the press release which includes the full text of the synopsis. The film also stars Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson, and Helena Bonham Carter. The Lone Ranger opens May 31, 2013.
Production is currently underway on director Gore Verbinski’s big-budget iteration of The Lone Ranger, and a last minute casting addition has been made. Given that the film was put on hold for a bit while Verbinski and Disney retooled the budget, the production schedule was pushed back. As a result, Dwight Yoakam was forced to drop out of the pic last week. While I’m sad to see Yoakam go, I think Verbinski’s found a suitable replacement. Deadline reports that William Fichtner (Drive Angry) will fill the bad guy role that Yoakam had previously been set to play.
Fichtner is a terrific character actor who’s had memorable turns in everything from The Dark Knight to Black Hawk Down. Johnny Depp is set as Tonto with Armie Hammer playing the titular Ranger. Fichtner joins a cast that now includes Helena Bonham Carter, Ruth Wilson, James Frain, and Tom Wilkinson. The actor recently wrapped a role in Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium opposite Matt Damon. The Lone Ranger opens May 31st.
While most everyone’s eyes are on Kathryn Bigelow’s (The Hurt Locker) untitled drama about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, another film about the Navy SEAL team tasked with bringing the terrorist leader down has assembled its cast. Variety reports that Anson Mount (TV’s Hell on Wheels), Cam Gigandet (Twilight), Freddy Rodriguez (Planet Terror), and William Fichtner (Black Hawk Down) are set to star in Code Name: Geronimo. John Stockwell (Turistas) is onboard to direct the actioner from a script by Kendall Lampkin.
Mount plays “an agile and assured member of SEAL Team Six,” and Kathleen Robertson is set as an eager CIA case officer. I’m not entirely sure we need two movies about the hunt for Bin Laden, and Bigelow’s definitely has the edge here. It’s her first film since winning the Best Director and Best Picture Oscar for The Hurt Locker and she’s assembled a very impressive cast (including Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, and Chris Pratt). Bigelow’s film is set to open this December, but Code Name: Geronimo doesn’t seem to have a release date yet. Geronimo is currently filming in New Mexico.
In 2010, Quentin Dupieux‘s Rubber hit screen to critical acclaim. The acclaim was mostly along the lines of “The best killer tire movie you’ll ever see.” Despite its odd-ball premise and protagonist, Rubber did seem to have cohesive subtext about criticizing the audience and purposely messing with their expectations. By contrast, Dupieux’s new movie, Wrong, is all killer tire and hardly anything to say. That’s doesn’t make it a bad flick. Strangeness along the lines of a killer tire can still be pretty funny, and Wrong‘s off-kilter reality offers plenty of laughs. It’s just too silly and devoted to strangeness to make any an exploration of a convoluted subtext worth considering.
Writer/director Quentin Dupeiux made some noise on the 2010 festival circuit when he unleashed Rubber, alternately wowing and perplexing the varied audiences of Cannes, Toronto, and Fantastic Fest. The hyper-meta movie about a tire who kills people is right in my wheelhouse of movies that talk incessantly about their own structure; ultimately, it never quite connected, but marked Dupeiux as a filmmaker to watch.
The next Dupeiux film to watch for is Wrong, which will premiere as part of the World Cinema Dramatic Competition lineup at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. A teaser trailer has been posted online, and promises that Wrong—led by Jack Plotnick, Eric Judor, Alexis Dziena, Steve Little, and William Fichtner—will strive to out-strange Rubber. Watch for yourself after the jump.
David Duchovy has joined the cast of the indie thriller Phantom. The film is set on a Soviet submarine during the Cold War and stars Ed Harris, William Fichtner, and Natascha McElhone. Variety reports that Duchovny is replacing Andy Garcia as the leader of the Soviet Special Forces team who is forced to head up a mission cloaked in secrecy. Todd Robinson (White Squall) wrote the script and is directing the indie which will shoot next month in Long Beach, California. RCR Media is co-financing and producing the flick, with Sony Pictures Worldwide handling domestic distribution. Duchovny recently wrapped the latest season of Showtime’s Californication and the indie comedy Goats.
There is an art to camp. It’s not enough to simply have the director wink to the audience and say “Yeah, we know this is terrible, but we’re having dumb fun so laugh god-dammit.“ Just because you’re making something trashy, doesn’t mean you have the license to give up quality filmmaking. Director Patrick Lussier understands the difference between trashy filmmaking and trashy fun and that’s the reason his film Drive Angry is such a delight. The script is unapologetically dumb, everything is cranked up to 11, and while everyone is clearly having a good time, no one is slacking off. That’s the art to Drive Angry and it’s why it will likely build a devoted cult following in the years to come.
I like to dream of an alternate universe where Drive Angry did well at the box office and stardom finally comes to terrific character actor William Fichtner. Sadly, I don’t live in that universe, but that doesn’t mean Fichtner’s disappearing into obscurity. Variety reports that Fichtner is in talks to join Contact co-star Jodie Foster as well as Matt Damon, Wagner Moura, and Sharlto Copley in Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium. Details on the plot remain under wraps, but the story takes place in the distant future on another planet. The film will also feature the kind of social allegory of Blomkamp’s breakthrough film District 9 but on a much larger scale.
Elysium is due out March 8, 2013.
The first trailer for The Big Bang has hit the web. Directed by Tony Krantz (Otis), the film stars Antonio Banderas as a private detective who is hired to find a missing stripper. That’s about all the plot I’m able to boil down because, judging from the tilt-heavy trailer, this flick looks to be a bit of a mind-bender in the vein of Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The Big Bang stars Banderas, William Fichtner, James Van Der Beek, Snoop Dogg, Delroy Lindo and Rebecca Mader. Anchor Bay Films is set to release the film on May 13th.
With Patrick Lussier’s (My Bloody Valentine 3D) revenge thriller Drive Angry 3D getting released today, I was able to interview most of the cast earlier this week. Here’s Nicolas Cage & Amber Heard and Billy Burke. Since we’ve been covering the film since its inception, most of you know it’s about a felon (Cage) who is chasing the people who killed his daughter (Burke) and kidnapped her baby. The vendetta/rescue spins out of control and the chase gets bloodier by the mile, leaving bodies everywhere. Chasing Cage is someone called “the accountant”, and he’s played by William Fichtner who steals the movie with his performance.
During my interview with Fichtner, we talked about how the film compared to what he thought it would be, the action, filming in 3D and working with the cameras, what films/TV shows do people always want to talk to him about (I mentioned Contact and Go), and he told me a great story about how the suit he wears in the film is actually his that he brought to set. Hit the jump to watch:
Patrick Lussier’s (My Bloody Valentine 3D) revenge thriller Drive Angry 3D hits theaters this weekend, and Summit has sent over 5 clips from the film. The flick stars Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard, David Morse and William Fichtner and tells the story of a tough-as-nails criminal who breaks out of Hell on a quest for redemption. Hit the jump to check out the clips and you can click here for all our previous coverage which includes on set interviews and a lot more.
Until the Academy loosens up about bullets, boobs, and inexplicable Nicolas Cage hairpieces, we can only dream of a fantastical world where Drive Angry 3D has a shot at Best Picture nomination. Still, the marketing folks behind the movie decided to have a little laugh and give the movie a red-band trailer with all of the prestige of an Oscar film and none of the dignity.
Hit the jump to check out the NSFW red-band trailer. Drive Angry 3D also stars Amber Heard and William Fichtner. The film opens February 25th.
With director Patrick Lussier’s (My Bloody Valentine) 3D revenge flick Drive Angry 3D getting released February 25, Summit has released a very cool motion poster to help promote the flick. Starring Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard, William Fichtner, Billy Burke, and David Morse, Drive Angry 3D is about a tough as nails criminal (Cage) who breaks out of Hell on a quest for redemption. Fichtner plays a character simply named “The Accountant”, a mysterious demonic agent sent to retrieve Cage and return him to the fiery depths from which he came. I did a set visit last year and everything I learned while there tells me this is going to be an extremely fun ride that you’re going to want to take.
For a taste of what’s to come, watch this NSFW clip. Otherwise, hit the jump to check out the poster, or click here for all our previous coverage.
We earned enough tokens for a Drive Angry poster earlier today, and apparently have enough left over for a brand new trailer. The 3D revenge flick stars Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard, William Fichtner, Billy Burke, and David Morse, and serves as director Patrick Lussier’s follow-up to My Bloody Valentine. The film hits 3D theaters February 11, 2011; hit the jump to check out the trailer. | <urn:uuid:d3b97aee-0ea9-4719-90c5-fa8047b9f283> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://collider.com/page/2?tag=william-fichtner | 2013-05-22T00:50:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.927277 | 2,576 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

News tagged with gynaecologist
Gynaecology or gynecology is the medical practice dealing with the health of the female reproductive system (uterus, vagina, and ovaries). Literally, outside medicine, it means "the science of women". Its counterpart is andrology, which deals with medical issues specific to the male reproductive system.
Almost all modern gynaecologists are also obstetricians (see obstetrics and gynaecology). In many areas, the specialties of gynaecology and obstetrics overlap. Gynaecology has been considered to end at 28 weeks gestation, but practically there is no clear cut-off. Since 1st October 1992, this cut-off may be considered to occur at 24 weeks gestation in the United States, since the law and definition of abortion changed to bring it closer to the gestation at which a foetus becomes viable.

NFL's hammer will have little impact
Despite the Donte' Stallworth furor, Roger Goodell won't have an equalizer
Anybody who thinks NFL commissioner Roger Goodell can provide a harsher punishment than Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth just received for killing a man needs to pay attention: It's not going to happen.
Goodell is in his comfort zone when it comes to hammering repeat violators of the law. He is equally capable of displaying adequate mercy when the opportunity arises. What he can't do, however, is wave a magic wand and appease the masses so incensed by the penalty a Florida judge handed Stallworth for his DUI manslaughter conviction.
Look, we all know Stallworth got off light. He walked out of a Miami hotel bar on March 14, hopped into his black Bentley and ran over 59-year-old Mario Reyes minutes later. Stallworth registered a .126 blood alcohol level when tested, well above the Florida legal limit of .08. Stallworth faced as much as 15 years in prison. He wound up with something laughable: a 30-day sentence, a lifetime suspension of his driver's license, 1,000 hours of community service, two years of house arrest and eight years of probation.
As weak as that penalty sounds, the important thing to remember is that Stallworth had his day in court and it obviously was a good one. Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Dennis Murphy saw all the evidence and heard all the statements. He clearly figured that Stallworth -- who called 911 after the accident and paid an undisclosed settlement to the Reyes family -- deserved as much leniency as the Miami-Dade prosecutor's office was offering. Now it's time for us to accept that Goodell's job isn't to deliver the knockout blow that Murphy and the state deemed unnecessary.
For one thing, there's a big difference between punishing Stallworth and hammering somebody like Adam "Pacman" Jones for continually running afoul of the law. Penalizing a player like Pacman has to be much easier because there's an established pattern of unacceptable behavior to consider. In the case of Stallworth, you're talking about a guy who has one other reported incident in the league -- the Philadelphia Inquirer reported two years ago that Stallworth had violated the league's substance abuse policy -- and did a dumb thing that led to devastating results. Whatever suspension Stallworth receives isn't going to come anywhere close to the burden he'll carry for killing Reyes.
You can look at St. Louis Rams defensive end Leonard Little as proof of that. Little pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in 1998 after he killed Susan Gutweiler while drinking and driving on the night of his birthday. There also was plenty of indignation when he received a 90-day jail sentence, 1,000 hours of community service, four years of probation and an eight-game suspension by the league. But Little also said he attempted suicide shortly after that tragedy.
Even though Little didn't completely avoid trouble thereafter -- in 2005, he was convicted of misdemeanor speeding but acquitted of driving while intoxicated for a 2004 incident -- he still has to endure the guilt for what he did. There's no way those lost paychecks made him feel any worse than he does when he drives past the spot where he struck Gutweiler, which he does every time he heads from his home to the team facility. To be honest, it's quite possible that Little hardly ever thinks about that suspension when contemplating the weight of what he did.
Little's case also is significant because there is at least some precedent here for Goodell to follow. The commissioner also has to consider the fact that Stallworth didn't run from his mistake. He accepted full responsibility at the time of the accident, and he's willing to get involved in drunken-driving education. Stallworth deserves some credit for that.
If anything, Goodell should find a way to get Stallworth more involved in educating other players on the dangers of drinking and driving. The league has a program in place that allows players to a call a car service in any major city that will pick them up if they've been drinking. It's a great idea, except for the fact that some players don't trust it. They believe too many phone calls to that service will lead to more hassles from franchises when contract negotiations begin.
If that is the case, Goodell and the NFL Players Association need to get together and create more confidentiality -- and confidence -- in that system. The idea is to protect the players, but it's obvious that public concerns have to weigh in to these decisions as well. Reyes was a construction crane operator who was rushing to catch a bus home when Stallworth hit him. He left behind a family that wisely felt it was best to accept Stallworth's settlement and move on with their lives.
By the way, I'm not saying Goodell should take it easy on Stallworth. I just don't believe that whatever punishment Goodell doles out will have that much effect on how Stallworth behaves in the future. In many ways, I feel similarly about the decision Goodell has to make on former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who's nearing the end of his sentence for his involvement in an illegal dogfighting ring. Vick already has served two years in prison, and his bankruptcy issues are the only reason he might squirm under a Goodell suspension.
What it ultimately comes down to is how the player decides to move forward in these situations. I have no doubt Stallworth deserved a stiffer punishment in court and that he's committed to making amends as best he can. So we need to accept that he already has faced the toughest scrutiny he ever could face in this case. In other words, anybody who's already pained by Stallworth's recent punishment shouldn't expect to feel any better when Goodell drops his own hammer.

I might have a somewhat different perspective on this article, especially if you read the replies to after the article. I think the author’s premise is flawed; this isn’t only a gaming issue. This happens any time a customer feels alienated by the product or service they are purchasing. Look at Netflix. Or BoA. Or the airlines charging baggage fees. You could insert hundreds of other examples of this same thing occurring in other industries over the past year alone.
No, this behaviour is true for any consumer market, not just games. The writer may just be ignorant of this because she is a gaming magazine journalist. Anyone who has worked in a customer support role knows what I’m talking about. I’m pretty sure the author had a predetermined conclusion which is why her conclusion, gamer entitlement, is completely misleading and quite frankly wrong.
Um, she writes for a gaming site. How many gamers are really interested in the macro view of a sociological phenomenon? If she was writing for the New York Times or even USA Today, she could broaden her scope to include everything you mention. But she's not, so she tailored it to the audience she was writing to.

I disagree with that assertion. I mean sure, you feel entitled to something you purchased but you shouldn't expect to have a say in how it's created unless the creator of said project specifically asks for your input. You know why they rarely do? Because people lie, always. They say one thing and do the exact opposite. If they want to go the story route and allow people to fast forward through combat, there is an audience for that. That audience isn't typically trolling Twitter, Facebook and Reddit looking to pounce on anything that doesn't meet their standards and douse it with a gout of internet venom.
I'm a travel agent. I know firsthand about the hubbub when United started the 'baggage fee' trend. Wanna know what happened? People huffed and puffed...and KEPT FLYING THOSE AIRLINES. Said one thing, did the opposite. Are there no carriers who don't charge baggage fees? There are plenty (Southwest being the largest). But people didn't want to look into alternatives, they wanted the status quo. Now, they pay for it. It took the other airlines MONTHS to jump onboard that gravy train. Know why? They were waiting to see if they could scoop up the outraged people and really profit from not charging fees. Few people switched so all the legacy carriers charge for bags now. People in the UK and Europe might be familiar with a carrier called 'Ryanair', who makes money hand over fist despite being (according to press reports) notorious for nickel and diming their customers. They're actually funding development of standing room seats for their planes. Yeah, that sure hurt their bottom line.
There is a reason that datamining in these games is often more useful to developers than player direct input. You (and I) lie constantly. We say we want 'this' and when given, we complain about how we wanted 'that' more. These troglodytes used the anonymity afforded them by the internet to pile ad hominems onto a person they knew nothing about, aside from one of her design philosophies.
garravesh, you think skipping past dialogue is fine but skipping past content is not thus, you are not the audience for that particular feature. There are people who sorely miss the days of finely crafted stories in RPGs (early Ultima series is often used as an example, before Richard Garriott lost his marbles). The combat was secondary, almost a necessary evil. It's reversed now so the story based people basically have nothing tailored to their desires (and don't you dare even mention TOR, which is still a combat focused model). I don't see a problem in expanding the market and creating products for multiple different groups of people. Hell, I have accounts in multiple MMOs because I don't always want the same thing all the time. Combat can be boring, especially when the outcome is never in question (as is often the case in these games past the newbie levels). The problem with story is, if it never changes, there's no replayability.
But people attacking someone over their personal or professional views is......well, it's par for the course in internet communities, isn't it? | <urn:uuid:513513df-48a6-437e-bf55-6fb3edb3b288> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=256617&page=11 | 2013-05-22T01:05:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970575 | 1,075 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

TAIPEI: Tens of thousands of people marched through Taipei yesterday to push for the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Taiwan as the island marked its 10th annual Gay Pride event in colourful fashion.
“The theme this year is to fight for equal rights on marriage. Gay people are also tax-paying citizens and we demand the same basic right as any heterosexual couples,” said Mu Chuan, one of the organisers of the rally.
The parade saw revellers in flamboyant costumes, big feathered hats and swimming trunks waving placards reading “marriage” and “equal rights”.
“Even though marriage is a very personal choice, I think gay people should not be stripped of the right to choose to get married,” said Mi Feng, a software programmer from Taipei dressed in white and holding a bridal bouquet.
Taiwan is one of the most culturally liberal societies in Asia.
Thai man nabbed with 16 tiger cubs in truck
BANGKOK: A Thai man has been arrested with 16 tiger cubs in his pick-up truck while driving near the kingdom’s border with Laos, police said yesterday.
The 52-year-old was arrested Friday afternoon in Khon Kaen province in northeastern Thailand during a routine check by authorities, who found the cats, aged between six weeks and two months, in cages in the back of the vehicle.
Police said the man was paid 15,000 baht (500 dollars) to transport the tigers from Bangkok, but he denied knowing the identity of the animals’ owners.
“He said he only talked to them on the telephone not in person,” Lieutenant Colonel Kusol Pongbunchan, chief investigator of the local district police said. | <urn:uuid:8d6f9e41-4b32-442a-bd6d-83e00f262ba3> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://thepeninsulaqatar.com/asia/212349-thousands-in-taiwan-rally-for-gay-marriage.html | 2013-05-22T01:04:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954736 | 378 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

PREPARED REMARKS FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO R. GONZALES AT THE SIXTEENTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH NATIONAL LANDMARK DESIGNATION CEREMONY
Thank you and good morning.
I'd like to thank Secretary Norton for inviting me to be a part of this celebration. It's an honor for me to join all of you to enshrine this house of worship in our nation's heritage and among our historic landmarks.
It is essential that we protect and preserve the history and aesthetics of this beautiful church for generations to come - her pews and pulpit, her bricks and mortar, her stained glass and vaulted ceilings.
The reasons, of course, reach far beyond the structure itself, beyond a building…beyond, even, a basement lounge or a Sunday school room. We protect this place for the people…not only those who've worshipped here in the past, but for those who worship today, tomorrow, and into the future.
Four young girls, smiling in their Sunday best and preparing to sing for the Lord, instead were taken to His comforting embrace forever. We protect this place for them.
A leader of faith, whose confidence in his country defied all practical experience, still dreamed of an America that would judge him on the content of his character. We honor this place for him.
The men and women who sat in these pews and preached from this pulpit - or who set out from this place to dramatize their condition at lunch counters and picket lines - endured police brutality and racial hatred, but still loved their God and each other. We safeguard this place as their lasting legacy.
And for so many more - citizens of every skin color and nationality - whose rights and liberties are stronger today on account of sacrifices made here and elsewhere…we preserve this place as a reminder that civil rights are a fundamental American promise.
In a powerful eulogy for three of the four girls, Dr. Martin Luther King told the congregation of this church - and I quote - "their death says to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly for the realization of the American dream."
It was only two weeks earlier that Dr. King had described to the world his dream of equality. And it was just several months after the tragedy here that Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, followed by the Voting Rights Act and other statements consistent with our charter creed.
This building was a catalyst for the cause of justice. It gave those who worshipped here the will and hope to persevere. As the staging ground for the Birmingham non-violent movement, and later as the site of an unspeakable evil, this church was the backdrop to important changes in our nation's laws and our neighbors' respect for the rule of law.
The Justice Department is charged with enforcing those laws, and I have always believed that we play an important role in safeguarding the American dream of which Dr. King spoke. It's the dream of living and prospering in a secure, lawful, hopeful, and safe society. It's the dream pursued by my parents and grandparents. It's the dream imagined in the pews of this church, voiced on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, echoed louder and longer than a blast of dynamite, and fulfilled - still today - in the actions of the Justice Department and the hearts of every American.
After nearly a half century of healing, we are still ever-mindful of a painful past.
That's why we are here today to preserve for future generations the stories of history. It's why we are here to mark this church as a tangible reminder of the sacrifices of our ancestors. And it is why we are pursuing a civil rights agenda that is as vital today as it was on September 15th, 1963. In doing so, we are carrying forward the work of leaders and parishioners of the 16th Street Baptist Church - a lasting testament to the sea change they began in this humble House of God.
As the first Hispanic Attorney General, I am personally concerned about the struggle for civil rights. Discrimination is against the law and will not be tolerated. This year, especially, we will renew our commitment to voting rights and fair housing - key elements of the American dream.
I recall my mother - the poor daughter of migrants - being denied entry to a restaurant in a small, west-Texas town. In one generation, she went from being forced to the back door by a restaurant owner, to walking in the front door of the White House to visit the President. The story is even more powerful when you consider that she never voted until she was 50 years old because, as she said, it was a different time for people of color in America.
Similar stories were common in Birmingham forty-five years ago. And, while the American dream is alive in Alabama today, there is still work left undone. It's why we must keep safe this historic landmark.
While the motives are not yet clear, the series of church fires across Alabama in the past few weeks remind us of the work to be done. The Department of Justice's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is leading a massive federal response to these violent crimes. All of our specialists - from forensic scientists to detection canines - are helping to follow every lead, listen to every tip, and track every possible clue to solve these arsons.
ATF has established a tip line and a reward for information that helps crack this case. Someone must have seen something or know something that could help investigators find those responsible for these heinous, premeditated crimes.
This isn't only a problem here in Alabama. Just ten days ago, a man was sentenced to 63 months in prison for setting fires in two churches in Wisconsin and Michigan. The Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division helped handle this racially motivated case. The defendant pleaded guilty, saying that he set fire to what he believed were African-American churches in order to get revenge for a physical altercation he had with two black men a few days earlier.
As long as houses of worship are targeted and attacked - for any reason - the Justice Department will enforce our laws to keep every church, mosque, and synagogue safe from violent crime.
The many brave and dedicated parishioners here in Birmingham set out from this sacred place to preserve the American dream by confronting fire hoses and vicious dogs…and they came inside this sanctuary to pray for understanding and grace.
As we remember their contributions to the great social cause of our lifetime…and mark forever this place of national significance…let us - each of us no matter our race or creed, no matter our profession or passion - let us redouble our efforts to labor in the work begun here at the 16th Street Baptist Church.
If we do, four young girls will not have died in vain on this hallowed ground. If we do, we will bring forth the Beloved Community conceived by Dr. King and pursued by his departed wife. And if we do, the American dream will be more readily available to more people than ever before in our history. | <urn:uuid:55be0859-5f48-4b32-863c-e37a13f1f6f2> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.atf.gov/press/releases/2006/02/022006-speech-doj-ag-gonzales-landmark-ceremony.html | 2013-05-22T00:50:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96635 | 1,461 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Were Thomas Jefferson to walk the grounds of Monticello today, he would no doubt feel fully at home in the 1,000-foot terraced vegetable garden where the very vegetables and herbs he favored are thriving. Extensively and painstakingly restored under Peter J. Hatch's brilliant direction, Jefferson's unique vegetable garden now boasts the same medley of plants he enthusiastically cultivated in the early nineteenth century. The garden is a living expression of Jefferson's genius and his distinctly American attitudes. Its impact on the culinary, garden, and landscape history of the United States continues to the present day.
Graced with nearly 200 full-color illustrations, ""A Rich Spot of Earth"" is the first book devoted to all aspects of the Monticello vegetable garden. Hatch guides us from the asparagus and artichokes first planted in 1770 through the horticultural experiments of Jefferson's retirement years (1809-1826). The author explores topics ranging from labor in the garden, garden pests of the time, and seed saving practices to contemporary African American gardens. He also discusses Jefferson's favorite vegetables and the hundreds of varieties he grew, the half-Virginian half-French cuisine he developed, and the gardening traditions he adapted from many other countries.

Responses to baseless and unfounded accusations hurled at Ulamah of Deoband!
After reading your fatawa on the Salafis could you please answer the following question? Was Maulana Rashid Ahmed Ghangohi a Wahabbi and what are your views on him? As he issued the following fatwa:
Question: Who are the Wahabis and what was the belief of Abdul Wahab al-Najdi? What was his madhab and what type of person was he? What is the difference in belief between the people of Najd and Sunni Hanafi?
Answer: The followers of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab are called "Wahabis" and they had good ( umdah) beliefs and their school of thought was Hanbali. Although his attitude was very extravagant (shidatt) he and his followers were good people. But, yes, those who exceeded the limits were overcome by roguishness (fassad). And their basic belief are all united, the difference they have is in actions is (like that) of Shafi'i, Hanafi, Maaliki and Hanbali?
Central-Mosque Admin: The Fatwas referred to in the question are as follows:
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
Shaykh Mawlana Rashid Ahmad al-Gangohi (Allah have mercy on him) was a great scholar of recent times in the Indian Subcontinent. He was a Muhaddith (scholar of Hadith), faqih ( jurist), Mufassir (exegete), Sufi and a follower of the Hanafi School of Sunni Islamic law and the Matrudi Aqidah. He was an avid follower of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ( Allah bless him & give him peace) and immensely engrossed in his love (Allah bless him & give him peace).
He spent all his life studying, teaching and benefiting thousands of thirsty students of sacred knowledge. There was no one like him in his time in piety, knowledge, chastity and being steadfast on religion.
His teachers include Shaykh Mamluk al-Ali al-Nanotwi, Mufti Sadr al-Din al-Dehlawi, Shaykh Abd al-Ghani al-Dehlawi and others (Allah have mercy on them all). He took allegiance (bay' a) with the great Shaykh of Tasawwuf, Haji Imdad Allah al-Makki in the Chishtiyya spiritual order.
In the latter years of his life, he began teaching all the six books of Hadith (kutub al- Sittah) himself in one year with chains of transmission (isnad) going back to their authors. When he lost his eyesight, he stopped teaching and concentrated more on spiritually reforming his disciples (murids) in a manner that adhered to the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
He students number many, who themselves went on to become great scholars of their time. Scholars such as: Shaykh Khalil Ahmad al-Saharanfuri (author of the renowned commentary of Sunan Abu Dawud in 20 volumes, Bazl al-Majhud), Shaykh al-Hind Mahmud Hasan, Shaykh Abd al- Rahim Raifuri, Shaykh Yahya al-Kandahlawi, Imam Anwar Shah al-Kashmiri (Allah have mercy on them all) and many others were privileged to have studied by him.
His works include: Imdad al-Suluk, Tasfiyat al-Qulub (both in the science of Tasawwuf), Zubdat al-Manasic (rules pertaining to the ritual of Hajj), Sabil al-Rashad and Hidayat al- Shi'a (in refutation of Shi'as). His Fatawa were collected and compiled in a book known as Fatawa Rashidiyya, regarding which you have also asked.
He passed away to the mercy of Allah on Friday after the Jumu'ah Adhan in 1323 A.H. May Allah Almighty sanctify his secret and shower him with mercy and His pleasure, Ameen. (See: al-I'lam bi man fi tarikh al-hind min al-A'lam, 3/1229, Dar Ibn Hazm, Beirut print)
The above clearly demonstrates that Shaykh Rashid Ahmad al-Gangohi was a great scholar of traditional Sunni Islam, follower of the Matrudi Aqidah and the Hanafi School of Islamic law. He was in no way a follower of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab al-Najdi and was not in any way from those who reject the four Schools of Sunni Islamic law and condone Taqlid.
As far as what you have quoted from his Fatawa regarding Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab al- Najdi, it is true indeed. He answers two questions with regards to him. Below is the translation of each of the two questions and their answers:
"Question: What kind of a person was (Muhammad ibn) Abd al-Wahhab al-Najdi?"
"Answer: People call Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab a Wahhabi. He was a good person, and I have heard that he was a follower of the Hanbali School of Islamic law and acted upon the Hadith. He used to prevent people from Shirk and innovation (bid'a), but he was harsh (shadid) in his attitude."
"Question: Who are the Wahhabis and what was the belief of Abd al-Wahhab al-Najdi? What was his Madhhab and what type of person was he? What is the difference in belief between the people of Najd and Sunni Hanafis?"
"Answer: The followers of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab are called Wahhabis. They had good ( umdah) beliefs and their school of thought was Hanbali. However, they were very stringent in their attitude but he and his followers were good people. But, yes, those who exceeded the limits were overcome by wrongness (fasad). And basic beliefs of everyone are united. The difference they have in actions is (like that) of Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali." ( Fatawa Rashidiyya, P. 241-242)
The above is what the respected Shaykh wrote about Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab al-Najdi and his followers. However, one must understand the background of the Shaykh's statements.
The great Faqih of recent times in the Indian Subcontinent, Shaykh Mufti Mahmud al-Hasan al -Gangohi (Allah have mercy on him) who passed away in 1994 A.D, the grand Mufti of India whose Fatawa are gathered and compiled in 17 volumes discusses the reason behind Shaykh Rashid Ahmad (Allah have mercy on him) mentioning this in his Fatawa.
Note that, these two scholars are two different people and not related to one another, though they both have the same last name, namely Gangohi, which is an attribution to a village known as Gangoh in India. Shaykh Rashid Ahmad (Allah have mercy on him) was the great grand-teacher of the more recent Mufti Mahmud al-Hasan (Allah have mercy on him), hence the latter holds the former in great regard and respect. This humble writer was also privileged to have received Ijazah in Hadith from Mufti Mahmud al-Hasan al-Gangohi.
Nevertheless, Mufti Mahmud al-Hasan al-Gangohi (Allah have mercy on him) states in his Fatawa that, Shaykh Rashid Ahmad (Allah have mercy on him) was initially unaware of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab al-Najdi's position, because al-Najdi was initially known in the Subcontinent as a reformer of Sunnah, and the one who strived greatly in rejecting Bid'a and establishing the Sunnah. As such, the respected Shaykh also said what he had heard, for a Muslim should always hold good opinions about other Muslims until it is proven otherwise.
Thereafter, the respected Shaykh's mentor and teacher sent him the copy of Radd al-Muhtar wherein Allama Ibn Abidin (Allah have mercy on him) clearly refuted Muhammad ibn Abd al- Wahhab. Allama Ibn Abidin states:
"...As it has occurred in our times with the followers of Abd al-Wahhab al-Najdi, who appeared from Najd and imposed their control over the two sacred Harams. They used to attribute themselves to the Hanbali School but they believed that only they were Muslims and that who ever opposed their beliefs were polytheists (mushrik), thus theyconsidered the killing of those who were from the Ahl al-Sunnah and their scholars to be legitimate, until Allah Most High destroyed their might and power." (Radd al-Muhtar, 3/339-340, chapter regarding the followers of Abd al-Wahhab, the Khawarij of our times)
Mufti Mahmud al-Hasan states that had Shaykh Rashid Ahmad read what Allama Ibn Abidin stated in his Radd al-Muhtar regarding the Wahhabis, he would surely not have stated what he had in his Fatawa.
He states that this does not in any way demean the status and rank of Shaykh Mawlana Rashid Ahmad al-Gangohi, for he had said what he had heard. He did not have knowledge of the unseen, thus he cannot be blamed. Allama Ibn Abidin (Allah have mercy on him) was geographically closer to Najd, thus he was aware at first hand of what Shaykh Rashid Ahmad, who was living in India, was unaware of. (See: Fatawa Mahmudiyya, 13/411-412)
I would like to add here that this is clearly the case when we look at Shaykh Rashid Ahmad's first Fatwa wherein he states "I have heard that he was a follower of the Hanbali School....." stipulating that his information was purely based on what he had heard. This was not a matter of Fiqh or Shariah as such in which he needed to investigate, and anyway, a Muslim should always have good opinion (husn al-Zann) about fellow Muslims until the contrary is proven.
Moreover, the students of Shaykh Rashid Ahmad al-Gangohi (Allah have mercy on them all) clearly refuted the ideologies and actions of the Najdis. Shaykh Khalil Ahmad al-Saharanfuri (Allah have mercy on him), a student of theShaykh, stated in his renowned al-Muhannad ala al-Mufannad that he and his teachers hold the same view as Allama Ibn Abidin regarding Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab al-Najdi and his followers. This was agreed upon and signed by almost all of the major scholars of the Indian subcontinent.
Finally before parting, I would like to say that I dislike the idea of dwelling over people 's personalities. Unfortunately, many of us are involved in debating about those who have passed away to the mercy of Allah; hence we have become negligent with actions (a'mal) and preparing one's self for the hereafter. We will not be asked on the day of Judgment as to what opinion we held about such and such person, but what we will be questioned regarding is our own actions.
"That was a people that have passed away. They shall reap the fruit of what they did, and you of what you do! Of their actions there is no question in your case." (Surah al-Baqarah, V. 134)
Therefore, do not dwell too much into personalities and names; rather, exceed them to conduct and deeds. Unfortunately, many Muslims argue and debate about these petty issues and leave the important aspects of Deen. Today, Muslims are being attacked in all fields by the enemies of Islam, yet here we are busy fighting amongst ourselves. Thus, we need to leave these issues to one side and concentrate on the things that unite us. May Allah Almighty bless this Ummah with unity, Ameen.
I was reluctant to answer this question and write on this subject, for there were far more important questions that needed answering. However, due to this question being posed repeatedly, I had no choice but to compile an answer. But we must remember that this is not something we need to dwell into, thus the matter is closed here, and I will not be answering any more questions on this topic. .
And Allah knows best

The false propaganda against and blatant fabrications about our highly acclaimed and respected Ulama of Deoband by the ignorant must be refuted at all costs. Numerous pamphlets and booklets have been written distorting the truth about and writings of our distinguished Ulama.
Among the most common pamphlets displayed is "Tabliqism - one way ticket to Hell". "Are these Islamic Beliefs": in one column is the 'Deobandi Tabliqi Beliefs' and next to it is the 'Islamic beliefs'. However, answers to the allegations have been given in various publications. Therefore, this publication will attempt to print all the false allegations and the correct views.
Rashid Ahmed Gangohi, a founder of Deobandi Movement has the following beliefs:
1 The Almighty Allah can speak a lie. (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 1 pg. 20)
2 Allah has already spoken a lie (Taqseedul Qadeer pg. 79).
The view of Hadhrat Moulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi Saheb is that Allah is far above and pure from being attributed with falsehood. There is no blemish of falsehood in His words at all for Allah says, 'Who is more truthful than Allah in speech.' He who believes that Allah speaks a lie is an accursed outright Kaafir and opposed to the Qurãn and Sunnah. (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 1 pg. 3)
Fataawa Rashidiyya pg. 84: 'From servant Rashid Ahmed Gangohi, after Salaam Masnoon, you have inquired concerning the Masalah 'Imkaane Kizb' (possibility of falsehood). But 'Imkaane Kizb' in the sense that Allah Taãla has the power to act contrary to what He has ordered, but will not to do with His Free Will, is the belief of this servant. The Qurãn Shareef and the Sahih Ahaadith bear testimony to this belief, and this is the belief of all the Ulama of the Ummah too. For example, Firáwn is promised to be thrown into Hell, but Allah Taãla has the power to enter him into paradise, although He will never give him paradise. And this is the Masalah under discussion at the moment. This is the belief of all my friends. The enemies must have related it differently. Referring to this Power and the non-occurrence of it is termed 'Imkaane Zaati' and 'Mumtana bi Ghayr' Was salaam Rashid Ahmad Gangohi.
Look, how they lay waiting with vicious, malicious attempts to defame this noble personality. If it is not slander then what is it?
To distort the above mentioned Masalah and refer it to Hadhrat Moulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi Saheb is totally evil and wrong. It is a slander and slander is worse than back-biting,
Fataawa Rashidiyya pg. 90: 'That person who believes or utters with the tongue concerning Allah Taãla that "He spoke a lie", is positively a Kaafir, an accursed and opposed to the Qurãn, Hadith and the unanimity of the Ummah. He is definitely not a Mu'min. Taãlallaahu ammaa yaqoolu dhaalimoona oluwwan kabeeraa. (Allah is far above from what the transgressors are saying).'
The misrepresenter, besides being involved with misrepresentation, has earned the wrath of Allah. Let the Hadith of the Master of the Green Dome once again ring in his ears. 'A person does not target another with impiety or a person does not target another with Kufr, but it returns to the former if the latter is not guilty of it.' (Bukhari)
Taqdeesul Qadeer is not compiled by the Ulama of Deoband. In fact there is no such Kitaab by this name.
The Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) is not the only Rahmatullil Aalameen. (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 2 pg. 19)
The view of Hadhrat Moulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi is that: ''One should know that the attribute of being Omnipresent is the quality of Allah Taãla alone, like All-Knowing, Creator of the Skies and Earths and so forth. Therefore to attribute this quality of being Omnipresent to someone else, though it be a 'Nabi', 'Wali', or Saint, is to ascribe Partners to Allah in His Qualities, which is termed as 'Shirk-fis-Sifaat."
The word 'Rahmatullil Aalameen' is not a characteristic only of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam). In fact other Awliyaa, Ambiyaa and Ulamaa-e-Rabbaniyyeena are also a means of mercy unto the world, although Rasululla (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) is the highest of them all. Therefore, if it is used for others with 'Taaweel' (by elucidation) it is permissible.' (Fataawa Rashidiyya pg. 96/97)
To lecture on or discuss the Shahaadat of Hadhrat Imaam Hussayn (Radhiallaahu Ánhu) is Haraam even if the stories are true. (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 3 pg. 113)
The incident of the martyrdom of Hadhrat Hussayn (Radhiallaahu Ánhu) who sacrificed his life for the sake of Truth, is surely very important. But the method adopted, like beating the chest, tearing the garment, pulling the hair, slapping the face, shouting slogans of 'Yaa Hussayn, Yaa Hussayn' and taking out processions to parade in the streets, is what Hadhrat Moulana has stopped and said is Haraam.'
The reason for stopping this is that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) has forbidden the slapping of faces and the tearing of garments.
Therefore to lecture on or discuss the Shahaadat of Hadhrat Hussayn in the abovementioned fashion, with that type of pomp and show, is forbidden in the light of the Hadith. (Fataawa Rashidiyya pg. 104/105)
In the month of Muharram, providing free water and feeding people with milk or Sharbat is Haraam. (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 3 pg. 113)
To feed the poor and needy and to distribute water free to quench their thirst as 'Isaale Sawaab' is no sin. Neither did Moulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi nor anyone else say it is Haraam.
The Barelvis belief is this, that on the plains of Karbala the martyrs sacrificed their life in thirst. Therefore, the water that is given here as a drink, reaches them.
It is common sense, that this water does not reach them, nor are they in need of it. They are in Jannat. If the whole idea is to convey the reward (Isaale Sawaab), the whole year is available for that. No question arises then whether to make 'Isaale Sawaab' or not. The practice mentioned above similitudes the practices of the Rawaafidh; therefore it is Haraam.' (Fataawa Rashidiyya pg. 147/148)
Ashraf Ali Thanvi, a founder member of Deoband says: 'The Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) has an education like that of children, lunatics and animals of every category.' (Hifzul Imaan pg. 7)
The view of Hadhrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi is that: Hadhrat Moulana was asked, 'Did you in Hifzul Imaan or any other book write anything directly or indirectly comparing the education of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) to that of children, lunatics and animals? If not then what is your ruling regarding a person who holds such a belief?' In reply to that Moulana states, 'Let alone writing such falsehood and filth, my heart had never even perceived such falsehood and verily if anyone holds such a belief he is out of the fold of Islam.' (Faisal-e-Khusoomat pg. 21)
Hadhrat Hakimul Ummah, Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (author of the famous 'Bahishti Zewar') did not write the abovementioned statement in Hifzul Imaan. Nor is it his belief. It is a slander on the said Moulana. In fact Hadhrat Moulana has stated clearly in 'Hifzul Imaan' that, 'Knowledge with regard to the Excellence of Prophethood has been bestowed totally upon Rasul (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) (Hifzul Imaan pg. 12)
Prophets are not free from sins. (Tasfiyatul Aqaaid pg. 24 - Cassim Nanotwi, a founder of Deoband)
The topic under discussion in 'Tasfiyatul Aqaaid' was this: It was mentioned in the Hadith, in Shaf'at that on the plain of resurrection people will gather with great fear, perturbed and disturbed. They will go to Hadhrat Aadam (Álayhis salaam) and request him to intercede on their behalf in front of Allah Taãla. Hadhrat Aadam (Álayhis salaam) will refuse and say that it is beyond his influence, because of the incident that he ate from the tree of Jannah which was forbidden to him. Hadhrat Aadam (Álayhis salaam) will say, 'Today Allah's wrath is so great that His anger was never great before and will never be so great after' (though Allah Taãla has forgiven him). He will advise them to go to Hadhrat Nuh (Álayhis salaam). In this way people will flock to the other Ambiyaa (Álayhimus salaam). Each one will be fearful and reluctant, for some reason or the other to intercede on behalf of man. At the end when the people will come to Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam), Rasul (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) will say, 'Very well, I will intercede on your behalf. I will take permission from my Sustainer and He will grant me that permission.'
Hadhrat Moulana wrote that, which was mentioned in the Hadith and not that, 'Prophets (Álayhimus salaam) are not free from sins,' as mentioned in the said leaflet.
Shaytaan has more education than our Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam). (Barahine Qatia pg. 51 - Khalil Ahmad Ambhetwi)
We strongly believe and openly claim that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was given more knowledge than the entire creation of Allah and it is our belief that whosoever says that anyone has more knowledge than Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) then such a person is a Kaafir. Our great Úlama have already given a Fatwa of Kufr upon a person who says Shaytaan has more knowledge than Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) then how could I ever have written such a thing. (Al Muhnad Allal Mufannad Q&A 18-19)
It is totally incorrect. This sentence is not written anywhere in 'Baraahine Qaati'ah', that 'Shaytaan has more knowledge than Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam).'
Moulana Khalil Ahmad (RA) was asked whether he wrote such a statement or not? He replied, 'I did not write such a statement anywhere. It is an open slander on me. On the day of Qiyaamat account will be taken with Ahmad Raza Khan.'
To read Alhamdu Fateha before eating food is Bidat (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 2 pg. 150)
In order to establish anything in Islam, it is necessary that it be verified in the light of the Shariáh. Unless it is not proven by the Shariáh, it cannot be regarded as Deen. Yes, one may call it a matter of convenience. For example, the use of an electric fan, motor vehicle, etc. The moment a person wants to make it part and parcel of Deen, immediately it will need verification from the Shariáh, whether it be Meelaad, Fateha, Giyaarwi, Urs, Dua-e-Thani, Dua immediately after Janaaza prayer or any other ritual for that matter. And on failing to be verified, it will be regarded as Bidat - innovation. The wickedness of being involved in Bidat is that the Sunnats are automatically left out. As darkness spreads, light vanishes.
To read Al-Hamd, Fateha before eating food is not verified and proven in the Shariáh, therefore, it is a Bidat.
Regarding Bidat, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) has decreed:
1. "He who innovates something in this matter of ours that is not of it will have it rejected." (Bukhari)
2. "Beware of newly-invented matters! For every invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is leading astray and every leading astray is in Hell-Fire." (Abu Dawud; Tirmidhi)
The 'Masnoon' Duas read by Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) before meals and after meals, should surely be read. Hadhrat Moulana Rashid Ahmed Gangohi (RA) did not stop anyone from this.
We cannot make Nikah with any person who takes part in Urs, etc. (Fataawa Rashidiya part 2 pg. 142)
Moulana Rashid Ahmed says in Fataawa Rashidiya, "Taking part in Urs is not an act of Kufr therefore Nikah with a person who takes part in Urs is valid."
Those who go to the Urs and make Sajdah (prostrate) to the graves, pray for boon or ask for a favour from the inmates of the graves, and make Tawaaf of the graves; to solemnise marriages with them will inculcate these Shirk practices in them and others as well. Therefore, unless they don't make Tawbah and refrain from such Shirk practices, Nikah is not allowed until then.
Giyaarwi Shareef is Haraam and Kufr, even if Qur'an is read. (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 1 pg. 95)
Anything in the name of 'Ghayrullah' (someone other than Allah), whether it be Giyarwi Shareef' or 'Baarwi', is Haraam. This Masalah is found in Shaami, Tahtaawi, Bahrur Raaiq and in many other Kitaabs.
On the other hand, Esaale Sawaab is permissible. No one prohibited Esaale Sawaab provided it is done without specifications of time, place and invitation. But look at the beliefs of these people. They have this belief that the distribution of sustenance is entrusted to Peerane Peer (RA). If the Giyaarwi is held back, he will stop the food.
It is Sawaab to eat crows (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 2 pg. 130)
Crows are of three types: The first type is that which feeds only on grain. It is exactly like a wild pigeon. It is Halaal according to all Jurists. The second type is that which only feeds on excreta, and prey on other animals. It is exactly like a vulture. It is Haraam according to all Jurists. The third type is that which feeds on grain, eats excreta and it catches and eats mice as well. It is like an uncaged fowl, which feeds on grain, worms and even on mice.
Hadhrat Moulana wrote concerning this third type of crow that it is not Haraam. This Masalah of the crow is found in Hidaaya, Durre Mukhtaar, Fataawa Aalamghiri, as well as the other 'Kitaabs' of Fiqh (Jurisprudence).
Therefore, should anyone not eat a crow or a fowl for the rest of his life, there is no criticism and blame on him according to the Shariáh. Yes, if he takes it to be Haraam then he will be answerable. Thus whosoever takes it to beHaraam, in order to correct his belief it is a 'Sawaab' and reward to eat it.' (Fataawa Rashidiyya pg. 492 Rahimia print)
Almighty Allah Taãla is not always 'all knowing'. He finds out whenever necessary. (Taqwiyatul Eemaan pg. 26).
This is an open Calumny and a False Accusation. This sentence is not written at all in 'Tawiyatul Eemaan' that 'Allah Taãla is not always "all knowing". He finds out when necessary.
The Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) will die and become sand one day. (Taqwiyatul Imaan pg. 69)
The view of Hadhrat Moulana Rashid Ahmed Saheb is that: The meaning of the (phrase) 'to lie on sand' has two meanings. The one is to become soil, the other is the body touches the sand. The latter meaning is meant, and the
Moulana (author of Taqwiyatul Imaan) also believes that the bodies of the Anbiyaa (Álayhimus salaam) do not turn to dust. Because a deceased is buried in a grave and he is surrounded with soil all over, his body together with the 'Kafn' touches the sand beneath him is called 'Mitti me milnaa' - to lie on sand. Hence, there is no point of objection. (Fataawa Rashidiyya pg.s 83/84)
In Taqwiyatul Imaan, a Hadith is mentioned in which a Sahaabi (Radhiallaahu Ánhu) told Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) that the people of other places bow out of respect to their Rulers; whereas Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) is more worthy of being bowed to. At this, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, 'Look if you happen to pass by my grave, will you bow to it?' The Sahaabi (Radhiallaahu Ánhu) said 'No, I will not do so.' On this, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, 'So do not bow to me ...' (A Sajdah Taazimi is also forbidden).
Commentary: 'I will also die one day and lie on sand (buried); therefore am I worthy to be prostated to?' This phrase 'Mitti me milne waalaa hoo - I will lie on sand' (meaning to be buried one day), became the bone of contention for the Barelvis.
To think of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) in Salaat is worse than thinking of cows and donkeys. (Siraate Mustaqeem pg. 150)
The abovementioned statement is not found anywhere in 'Siraate Mustaqeem' that, 'To think of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) in Salaat is worse than thinking of cows and donkeys.'
That which was written in 'Sarfe Himmat'. This is terminology used by the Sufis in Tasawwuf (the spiritual field). 'Sarfe Himmat' in 'Tasawwuf' means that a person's meditation over a thing becomes so overpowering and predominant that no other thoughts penetrate into the mind and soul. Like a mirror, if a person does not want any person's reflection to come into it, he covers it with a black cloth and thus no reflection will appear. To contemplate over a figure so that no other thing is contemplated is called 'Sarfe Himmat'.
This has been forbidden in Salaat, that besides Allah, 'Sarfe Himmat' should not be done towards anyone. Salaat should purely and solely be for Allah alone. If 'Sarfe Himmat' is done towards Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam), then the entire Salaat and Ibaadat will be for him.
On the other hand, if any thoughts of cows, donkeys, business, etc. come to mind, or a person gets drowned in these thoughts whilst in Salaat, it is regrettable. There is no fear of it being worshipped. In fact the person regrets that in the course of an esteem Ibaadat like Salaat, he should have such thoughts, Astaghfirullah.
The Kitaab, 'Siraate Mustaqeem' is based on 'Tasawwuf'. The objector is not versed in Tasawwuf'. Therefore, he has translated 'Sarfe Himmat' to mean a mere thought.
What comes to mind is this; that the Objector presents a picture of a Grade One child, learning to read and write ABC and wishing to interpret the writings of Shakespeare.
Moreover, it is stated in the Hadith that Salaat should be performed with full attention. Therefore, when the name of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) is recited in 'Tashahhud' the thought of the Rasul (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) will come and should come. The Salaat will not be rendered incorrect and this is not unlawful at all.

Bourne Trilogy, The (US - BD RA)
Gabe revisits all the punching, kicking, jumping, and running adventures...
Many say that the silly excesses of Die Another Day killed the James Bond franchise. This is only a partial truth, just as much responsibility lies on the shoulders of the Bourne franchise. Jason Bourne was the ideal hero for the post-9/11 era. Unlike Pierce Brosnan’s Bond, Bourne was not a cocksure lady killer, with dozens of gadgets and gizmos at his disposal; he doesn’t even know who he is. His skills are instinctual, his attitude is weary, and his motives are realistic, even vengeful. Jason Bourne is a superhero on the same level as Bond (he’s virtually unkillable, he can commit superhuman feats), but he’s so far removed from his secret agent preparations that we can all relate to him. At the point of his first theatrical release, The Bourne Identity, he was the audiences’ brutal anti-Bond.
The Bourne Identity is a perfectly classy thriller, put together by energetic and slick director Doug Liman, who had worked his way to the Hollywood mainstream though R-rated cult comedies Swingers and Go. This was Liman’s first big-budget, non-comedy release, and as such is a rather resounding success. I might even argue that the director hasn’t managed to develop beyond The Bourne Identity, as his follow-ups Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Jumper, were generally well made disappointments. Stylistically Identity recalls the best ‘90s action and political thrillers, most specifically it reminds me of Andrew Davis’ The Fugitive (a personal favourite), and Phillip Noyce’s Tom Clancy adaptations. After one film though, Liman would stay on the series as producer, but stepped aside as director, which would open up the floor for the improved direction of Paul Greengrass.
One of Identity’s greatest strengths, beyond its general realism (which was expanded upon for the sequels), is the love story between the amnesiac superhero and the put upon girl. Franka Potente’s Marie isn’t a naive and helpless damsel, but she’s also normal enough to buy the relationship. Realistically speaking, the psychologically stricken Jason Bourne would likely fall in love with the least CIA-ish girl in the world, and that relatable love gives the character a sturdy anchor. Interestingly enough, this love affair also affords the story a definitive ending, and Identity worked just fine as a standalone film. I initially assumed the first sequel, The Bourne Supremacy, was uncalled for, and that the story had run its natural course (as had author Robert Ludlum when he wrote the first book, apparently).
The fact that Supremacy jettisons the love story so quickly initially looks like it’s going to be a problem, likely robbing the character of what made him special, and turning him into just another two-dimensional vengeance machine. The assumption was half correct—there is an oversimplification to Bourne’s mission in the second film. The plot is a vastly complicated labyrinth of spy movie gobbly-gook, of course, but the base of the story is quite slighted. I was also right to assume Potente would be missed (the trailers quickly gave away her character death, spoiler Nazis), but I was wrong considering the manner in which she’s missed. Her death is such an emotionally overwhelming moment that it colours the mood of the film, in a critically positive fashion.
The simplifying of the character leads to a more visceral film, and Greengrass, who at the time hadn’t any proof he could handle fisticuffs or car chases, helms the action with an abrasive style. Bourne is an efficient man, and when an efficient man wants to get something done, he does it… efficiently. Sometimes it seems that the camera itself can’t even keep up with Bourne, let alone film him, and the final film has been culled from the fleeting images camera operators were able to grab before Bourne knocked them unconscious. It’s abrasive, but effective, and very true to the character. Greengrass and DP Oliver Wood over-do the camera shake, and ‘70s style crash zoom a little bit, but the style is potent, and along with television cop shows like The Shield has changed the look of modern thrillers.
Supremacy is the weaker film on most practical levels, but the visceral intensity is too hard for this viewer to ignore, and I find myself preferring the non-stop trouble to the more intellectual and quieted Identity. But surely, figuring out his real name, showing the old bosses who’s really boss, and avenging his girl was the end for Jason Bourne, and surely there was nothing new to do with the character. Apparently no, there was plenty left to do with the character, because The Bourn Ultimatum is the standout of the series. It features the same gritty action and complicated plotting that Greengrass utilized so effectively in Supremacy, and the same emotional ambiguity that made Liman’s film a better story. The character is allowed to move full circle, and Greengrass is allowed to get a better handle on his shaky-cam style.
Ultimatum is likely the most intense practice in visceral mainstream action since The French Connection. Other films have found unbearable emotional intensity that Ultimatum can’t touch (Greengrass’ own United 93 for example), but the film has an uncanny ability to push even jaded filmgoers to the edge of their seat. While Identity is a more traditional stand-off view of action, and Supremacy is a documentarian’s look, Ultimatum is as close to being placed in the action as a modern audience is likely to find. It’s hard to place importance on a single set piece because the whole of the film blends into a single, unflappable action sequence.
Tonally Ultimatum is the perfect finally to a trilogy. The main character is more systematic, and more jaded with his situation. The third film brings Bourne the closest to his dark and villainous pre-series persona, but also brings him back around to the good hearted hero of the first film. The antagonists are twice as capable as they were the last go around, and their ‘villainous’ loyalties are even shakier. Seeing the hero assisted by his former enemies is a thrilling fashion to conclude any series (unless, of course, the filmmaker fails to set up the dynamic, as in Spider-Man 3). There is a relentless darkness to Ultimatum, but it ends as an almost cheesy audience pleaser, which would’ve felt out of place in the second film. In this case the uplift marks a perfect ending for one of the best third films in a series I’ve ever seen.
As Bourne, Matt Damon was thrown into a pretty thankless hero role. Bourne’s a badass, but he doesn’t get any tough-guy one liners, or many big emotional moments. The plots of all three films dictate a very matter of fact character that can’t stop for comedy or drama. Damon could’ve been a simply effective character, but he finds his moments, and plays Bourne as a fully fleshed human being in all three films. His supporting cast is incredibly capable throughout the series, including Potente as the moral center, and a revolving door of adversaries including a pre-star Clive Owen, Chris Cooper, Brian Cox, Karl Urbane, Joan Allen, Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, and Albert Finney. Without this constant stream of pitch-perfect performance I think the Bourne movies would be a simple mass of style over substance.
The Bourne Identity is the least theatrical looking of the trilogy overall. Liman and his DP Oliver wood opt mostly for an overcast European look, leading to many grey backgrounds. The majority of the film follows suit, including a lot of colourless outfits (excepting Franka Potente, who is often visually represented as the shining light among the grayness), but there are some scenes that utilize more colourful lighting, leading to some nice warm tones. In all the disc is a bit dull, and some of the colours are a bit muddied. The transfer’s details are generally sharper than the DVD release, but not overtly impressive, and the problem of edge-enhancement in dark and light contrast is still an issue.
The Bourne Supremacy is a sizable visual improvement in high definition over the first film, due in no small part to director Paul Greengrass’ filming style. Most of the film is shot like a documentary, and often the lighting is all natural, but the saturation is cranked much higher than that in Liman’s film. There’s a slight greenish/yellowish tint to the entire film (which is a nice change-up from the all too common steal blue, which is still sometimes present), but most of the colours are still rich, natural, and relatively clean. Most of the exceptions to this rule pertain to night shots, and the opening car chase’s underwater climax, which is abstractly green. The high saturation leads to high contrast, which leads to some perfectly cut blacks. The whole of the print is pretty grainy, thanks likely to some kind of photography process I’m not smart enough to know about, but the grain is fine, and adds some effective texture to the proceedings.
The Bourne Ultimatum sits somewhere between the other two films stylistically. Greengrass goes for a slightly more natural look in his colour pallet, but the high contrast is arguably pushed even further. Ultimatum has a bluish-aqua tinting overall, forgoing many of the punchier warm high lights found in Supremacy (even during the daylight Tangiers shots). The transfer is almost relentlessly realistic besides the cool tinting, and probably the one videophiles would chose to show off their new hi-def set. There is noticeably less grain from the previous outing, and excepting the super-stylized flashbacks, the look is sharp, the focus is broad, and the details are lifelike.
The Bourne Trilogy comes fitted with three aggressive and exciting DTS-HD Master Audio tracks, likely the ideal way to hear the adventures of a melancholy secret agent. Car chases are usually the biggest and best audio moments in the series, utilizing aggressive rhythmic music, a lot of directional effective, revving engines, and bone-crunching crashes to tell their violent little stories. Identity also features the more subtle countryside gun battle between Damon and Clive Owen. But the two sequels have obvious sound design advantages over Identity almost right off the bat. Greengrass’ films are brutal in their hyper-realistic soundscapes. Punches connect with more bass, tires squeal with more high end, and even simple actions will often take several channels to complete. Liman has mastered the play between silence and sound, Greengrass prefers consistent noise for his films.
Supremacy and Ultimatum have more aggressive scores and soundtracks than Identity, and the music rarely lets up through either film. Composer John Powell worked on all three films, but seems to have geared the first film more towards Liman’s techno-sensibilities, which may have been left over from Go. The Greengrass films are a little more melancholy, and structured sort of like free-form jazz (especially Supremacy, which is a bit less single-minded than Ultimatum). They’re fantastic and emotionally grabbing scores, but you probably aren’t going to be humming any of the themes on the way home from the theatre.
Each disc's extras begin with a director’s commentary. Doug Liman isn’t doesn’t have the most pleasant speaking voice in the world, but his track is consistent and informative beyond many of my expectations. My favourite factoids include information about Liman’s former NSA father, and a rather lengthy discussion about which actor to give the PG-13’s only f-word to (Damon got it). Paul Greengrass is a very inclusive commentator, and I’m a big fan of his work, but there’s something about his tone that strikes me as placating, like a grandfather telling an unsolicited fairy tale. Greengrass’ actual fact count is pretty low, considering all the talking he does, but you’re likely to learn something amongst all the flowery language. The Ultimatum track is a vast improvement, and almost worth the time, but it’s still a bit tedious in tone.
The ‘Bourne Orientation’ extra looks fantastic, continuing the film while showing clips and text in alternating corners, but serves little purpose for anyone actually paying attention to the screen. I couldn’t get the ‘Treadstone Files’ to work on my Profile 1.0 player, nor could I view the PiP options, which are apparently taken from the previously available behind the scenes footage. Ultimatum has a few more U-Control features, including the strangely ad-centric ‘Volkswagen Get More Info’ option, and the ‘Blackbrair Files’.
It appears that all the non-PiP extras are ported directly from the old special edition DVDs and HD-DVDs, so no surprises, but I’ll quickly run through them anyway. Identity (which has no hi-def extras outside of the U-Control options) begins with a three part look at writer Robert Ludlum, ‘The Ludlum Identity’, ‘The Ludlum Supremacy’, and ‘The Ludlum Ultimatum’ (clever titles, eh?). The experts run down the writer’s history, the character’s history, the novels’ history, and the early history of the adaptation with an eye for the intellectual. The featurettes, totalling about fifty minutes, includes older television interviews with Ludlum, new filmed interviews with his publishers and friends, images of the books, and scenes from the movies.
Next up are a series of alternate scenes, deleted scenes, and extended scenes. The extended opening and ending feature an introduction from producer Frank Marshal, actor Brian Cox and scripter Tony Gilroy, who discuss how 9/11 lead them to change bits of the film. Ironically they didn’t use these bookends they struggled to create after the towers went down. The deleted scenes total four, with no introduction or commentary, and only really add a little character development to the film. The extended version of the farmhouse scene is a very minor extension.
‘The Birth of The Bourne Identity’ appears to be a made for television EPK, which gives some real behind the scenes information, but mostly just celebrates the film, and shows clips. It runs less than fifteen minutes. ‘The Bourne Mastermind’ is even more information about author Ludlum. In fact, it’s pretty much the same information about Ludlum. At five minutes, it’s entirely skippable. ‘Access Granted’ is a four minute interview with the film’s co-writer Tony Gilroy, who runs through the process of culling one hundred and twenty pages out of a five hundred-plus page book. ‘From Identity to Supremacy’ is a four minute look at the character developments of Bourne and Marie between films one and two. ‘The Bourne Diagnosis’ is a Cliff’s Notes look at Jason Bourne’s psychological issues. ‘Cloak and Dagger: Covert Ops’ is the Cliff’s Notes look at the real life CIA. ‘Inside a Fight Sequence’ sort of speaks for itself, and the whole thing comes to a close with a Moby music video.
Bourne Supremacy continues first with a series of deleted scenes, presented in a rough-cut form. The scenes play as a reel with no chapter stops, mostly consist of small plot connections and character moments, and total about 11 minutes. They are followed by a series of behind the scenes featurettes, which are all presented in non-anamorphic standard definition.
‘Matching Identities’ concerns the cast of the second film, with special emphasis on Damon, Joan Allen, Brian Cox (who has a much larger role than he did in the first film), Julia Stiles, and Karl Urbane. It runs five and a half minutes. ‘Keeping it Real’ is a five minute exploration of Greengrass’ super-kinetic documentary film style. ‘Blowing Things Up’ speaks for itself if you’ve seen the film, as there’s only one explosion in the entire film. This is a four minute exploration of that sequence. ‘On the Move with Jason Bourne’ is another look at the various locations the crew visited, running five minutes. ‘Bourne to be Wild’ explores the behind the scenes process of films big fist-fight for four plus minutes. ‘Crash Cam’ runs through the film’s brutal car chase in six minutes, while ‘Anatomy of a Scene’ explores the specifics a little closer for an additional five minutes. ‘Go Mobile Revs Up the Action’ is some kind of elongated ad, I guess. Things wrap up with ‘Scoring with John Powell’ (04:46), ‘The Bourne Mastermind Part 2’ (04:42), and ‘The Bourne Diagnosis Part 2’ (05:40).
Ultimatum also starts with a collection of deleted scenes, which are again presented as a solid reel, with no chapter stops, director commentary or introduction, and again they’re without hi-def or anamorphic enhancement. These scenes almost exclusively deal with the back-stories of the supporting characters, and/or mostly unexplored side-plots. The scenes total about twelve and a half minutes, and given the final film’s near perfect pacing, I think they all deserved to be excised.
Next up is an interactive feature, ‘Be Bourne Spy Training’, which is an audio/visual test of sorts. In it, the viewer is shown scenes from the film, then asked on-screen questions to see how closely they were paying attention. At three for five I, apparently, would make a shit spy.
The featurette collection (which this time is anamorphically enhanced, but isn’t HD) begins with ‘Man on the Move’, yet another look behind the scenes of the major geographical movements of Jason Bourne. The location shooting glances total about twenty four minutes (presented in five parts), and does not cover the New York leg of the shoot. ‘Rooftop Pursuit’ is a five and a half minute behind the scenes exploration of the film’s spectacular Tangier foot chase, which culminates in a stuntman jumping through a closed window, followed closely by another stuntman carrying a camera. ‘Planning the Punches’ looks at the film’s big fist-fight, which takes place directly after the rooftop chase. In five minutes we get a glance at the choreography, the practice, the props, and the filming. ‘Driving School’ is, unsurprisingly, a three plus minute look at the planning behind the film’s car chase, which includes a trip to stunt driving school, and some rough behind the scenes footage. ‘New York Chase’ then divulges some of the finer details of physically filming the car chase, giving due credit to the film’s second unit director Dan Bradley, which is pretty unusual for a behind the scenes featurette. It runs almost eleven minutes.
Re-watching the Bourne Trilogy was a great exercise for me. I haven’t seen any of these films since their initial DVD releases, and I’d only seen them once a piece. There was quite a bit for me to pick up on a second viewing. I also wasn’t an initial fan of the initial film, or the sequel, but looking back I see that the third and strongest film doesn’t work without the other two. With all three films in the same place, this is a good time for non-fans like me to give these films a second chance. Also, you know, Blu-ray exclusive content, hi-def video, and DTS-MA sound. Those help.

LAWRENCEVILLE - You never know what goes behind closed doors in even the quietest neighborhoods - something Primrose Parc residents discovered firsthand Monday night when police seized more than $5 million in drugs from a townhome.
Officers were summoned about 5:45 p.m. to investigate a woman who reportedly needed protection screaming inside a residence. The caller provided 911 dispatchers with a street address of 1202 Primrose View Circle but didn't want to talk with police, said Cpl. Darren Moloney, spokesman for the Gwinnett County Police Department.
Jorge Moreno Marciel, 28, answered the door at the town house and allowed officers inside to investigate the complaint. Through an interpreter, Marciel told police that a man and woman had been fighting there earlier, but they left just prior to police arrival. While talking to Marciel, the uniform officers noticed several items of drug paraphernalia sitting out in the open.
The house was locked down and a search warrant obtained.
Scattered in several rooms throughout the house, investigators found 51,306 grams of methamphetamine with a street value of approximately $5.1 million and 8,566 grams of marijuana worth about $85,660. Some of the drugs packaged in bricks and other containers were lying in plain sight, said Maj. Bart Hulsey, who heads the Gwinnett County Multi-Agency Drug Task Force.
Police believe the townhome served as a "breakdown house," where meth is taken after being cooked to be cleaned and packaged. The drugs are then shipped elsewhere.
Marciel was arrested on charges of trafficking in meth and marijuana. Police never found the couple that was allegedly arguing at the residence.
"This is not the biggest drug bust in Gwinnett County history, but it is a large one," Hulsey said. "It shows that if citizens are vigilant and pay attention to what is going on in their area and let us know, there's no telling what kind of small information they give us could lead to a major bust like this."
Investigators will be following up on leads in the coming weeks to identify other possible suspects in the drug trafficking operation.
Primrose Parc is a small community off Cruse Road and Old Shackleford Road. Built in 2003, the two-story townhomes sell for about $140,000, according to real estate listings.
A neighbor across the street from the town house, 20-year-old Donald Makonye, was still stunned Tuesday morning about the drug activity that had been going on under his nose just a few doors down. He recalled arriving home from a class Monday night to find police surrounding area, some officers with their hands on their holsters as if ready to draw their gun at any time, Makonye said.
"Wow. That's amazing," Makonye said. "It's kind of scary that such things go on behind closed doors right next door. I had no idea."
Task force diligent
A coalition of Gwinnett law enforcement agencies in 2005 more than tripled the amount of narcotics seizures from the previous year and also arrested a record number of drug offenders.
The Gwinnett County Multi-Agency Drug Task Force locked up 1,475 alleged drug offenders in 2005, up from 1,314 the previous year. Police also confiscated $34 million worth of narcotics last year, more than triple the $9,543,268 in narcotics that was seized in 2004, Moloney said.
In another drug raid earlier this month, four people were arrested and more than $1 million worth of cocaine and other drugs were seized as a result of a police investigation into Hometown Title Loan, a Lawrenceville pawn shop. | <urn:uuid:5fa1aa65-6919-4d93-9d10-fda7de04817c> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/news/2006/feb/22/police-stumble-upon-5m-in-meth/ | 2013-05-22T00:50:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974123 | 765 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
This is a ToH method for install your update:
UPDATE: Doesn't work with Software Update, need to have .dmg / .pkg file.
Is recommended make backup of your /System/Library/Extension folder in case of nedded restore some modified .kext
Common problem: "I lost QE on 10.5.5 update. What do i need to do again? Been using this stable 10.5 box for ages now forgot the kexts I need to look at"
Well, I tell to make backup of Extensions folder, if you don't have it, search on usual places for re-download needed kexts.
This method works for OS X Desktop and OS X Server, remember, OS X Server needs a valid serial number to work. Don't ask-me for serial numbers here or in private messages.
This method has tested on 10.5.3 to 10.5.4 and to 10.5.5 and worked without problems.
For 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 This method require some modifications to use on 10.5.6. Don't try it on 10.5.6 until I have updated all the necessary changes!
-> Download 10.5.5 Desktop Delta Update
-> Download 10.5.5 Desktop Combo Update
-> Download 10.5.5 Server Delta Update
-> Download 10.5.5 Server Combo Update
Open Terminal/Finder/etc, go to System/Library/Extensions;
Start installing Combo Update;
Monitore /System/Library/Extensions folder, once AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext appears there - remove it immediatly.
You can use this little script for it, run as root, before starting upgrade:
Once update finished, press ctrl-c in Terminal window, to stop script, don’t press restart!Code:while sleep 1 ; do rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext ; done
After it, open this file in Textedit - /System/InstallAtStartup/scripts/1
Find there string /System/Library/Extensions/Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext
And replace with this string /System/Library/Extensions/dsmos.kext or r3d3.kext / AppleDecrypt.kext if you use this.
Then save it.
Now you can recover your AppleSMBIOS/AppleHDA/etc (didn’t you forget to make backups before running update ?)
And finaly press restart.
On first start it will do something, without booting to gui (graphical), then it will reboot, it can take about 3-4 mins, then it shuld boot normaly, if you didn't forget something.
Of course it’s all for Intel Core 2 based CPUS and Intel chipset (945 and superior) and Chameleon/pc_efi/ToH CDBoot.
Other users can use 10.5.4 kernel/System.kext with 10.5.4 system (like AMD users or PentiumD users)
For news about new kernels for NonHPET/NX Systems and AMD Systems check this first post, or go irc://irc.osx86.hu room #leopard for chat and more infos about this update.
Goodluck @ all!

Willie says early spring 0
An early spring, Mayor John Close announced to an anxious crowd of over 350 at Bluewater Park this morning as Wiarton Willie huddled in his cage. There couldn't have been a different forecast with -9 temperatures, a stiff breeze and some blowing snow. Willie did not see his shadow signifying an early spring. After a January of snow, rain, frigid weather, a thaw and more snow, it was a welcome prediction. Festival events continue today, tonight and Sunday. | <urn:uuid:971bf98a-a329-4e01-910d-659d44db094d> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.lfpress.com/2013/02/02/willie-sees-shadow | 2013-05-22T01:05:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976782 | 105 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley takes to Twitter to respond to article calling for Magpies to sack Dane Swan
- From: News Limited Network
- November 29, 2012
COLLINGWOOD coach Nathan Buckley has taken to social media to defend his club and Brownlow medallist Dane Swan after a newspaper report questioned the star's influence on the player group.
And Pies president Eddie McGuire joined the defence of Swan on radio this morning, declaring there should not be witch-hunt over the serious issue of possible drug use by AFL players.
As Magpies CEO Gary Pert yesterday used the term "volcanic" to describe the behaviour of some players during the off-season, a newspaper report this morning suggested the Magpies should consider dumping Swan, saying he had been a "law unto himself".
Pert was adamant he was talking about players in general, and Buckley, who has previously defended Swan and his relationship with the ball magnet, was clearly riled by the article, with the coach taking to Twitter on Thursday morning to give his view.
"Still waiting for your call Caroline ... not a quote in sight. Don't ever presume to speak on Collingwood's behalf," Buckley's tweet read.
The report said the Pies were big enough to withstand any potential fallout from dumping a player.
McGuire said the report did not give any examples of unlawful behaviour.
Buckley supports AFL's drugs fight
"What we don’t want to start doing is having a witch-hunt. We don’t want to start having the burning at Salem, but we do want to take action to eradicate this issue," McGuire told Triple M.
"People like Caroline today have made a quantum leap from turning this into a police issue if you like, or a sanction issue, this is still a health issue.
"I don’t know if there’s been any strikes against any players at Collingwood, certainly we don’t have any players on three strikes because we’d know about that."
Picture gallery: Magpies at the beach
McGuire said Swan, who was pictured in the report, could have been substituted for "a number of players" and urged clubs and the AFL to look into the issue collectively.
He defended chief executive Pert speaking out in The Herald Sun yesterday, which put the issue on the map, saying he did so with the support of the Magpies board.
McGuire said Collingwood would not comment further on the issue. | <urn:uuid:950b4f6a-682d-4e53-a0bc-c91c051cc6e2> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/collingwood-coach-nathan-buckley-takes-to-twitter-to-respond-to-article/story-e6frg1x3-1226526330559 | 2013-05-22T01:11:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979083 | 528 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

"MTBF" doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. The military has a formula, and some - maybe most - component manufacturers have their own formulas and data. Your first choice is to get failure data from the manufacturer, along with how they figure it. (You just can't wait for 100,000 hours for a life test - that's 12.5 years!)
Your second choice is the use of handbook formulas. That is definitely a far second. | <urn:uuid:63d5acfa-87d0-4243-9e9b-1d30fa20b2c8> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.rfcafe.com/forums/circuits-components/MEAN%20TIME%20BETWEEN%20FAILURE.htm | 2013-05-22T01:10:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.914414 | 333 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
CBS News recently published this article that reports that many of those in the tech fields show autism-like characteristics and that large numbers of "geeks" find solace and shelter in the Internet.
It's been said that people with autism invented the Internet," Eric Hollander, M.D., director of the Seaver and New York Autism Center of Excellence at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, tells WebMD. "By e-mail, you don't have to read people's nonverbal social cues. You don't have to look at body language or facial expressions. It's just the verbal content of communication." Not only does the Internet downplay autistic social deficits, but the language of computers also allows some people with autism to give full expression to their exceptional abilities.
They also tell us that
That means people with Asperger's and high-functioning autism often have great talents for creating and analyzing mechanical systems, such as engines, or abstract systems, like mathematics and computer programs. Baron-Cohen recently surveyed undergrads at Cambridge and found significantly more math majors diagnosed with autism compared with students majoring in other disciplines, such as medicine, law, and social science. These are all brainy subjects, but mathematics is best suited to a systemizing mind."
There is just one problem with this article. They are about 5 years too late. Wired magazine broke this trend back in 2001, long before CBS News had probably ever heard of it.Said Wired:
It's a familiar joke in the industry that many of the hardcore programmers in IT strongholds like Intel, Adobe, and Silicon Graphics - coming to work early, leaving late, sucking down Big Gulps in their cubicles while they code for hours - are residing somewhere in Asperger's domain. Kathryn Stewart, director of the Orion Academy, a high school for high-functioning kids in Moraga, California, calls Asperger's syndrome "the engineers' disorder."
Wired is famous for the A.Q. Test, a test designed to get you thinking about autism and whether or not you have autistic traits. To some degree, we all do. While the test is not a scientific measurement, it certainly started a dialogue and opened some eyes to a brilliant but misunderstood group.
While I applaud the efforts of CBS News in trying to make this mainstream news, I do think they were a day late and a dollar short on that one.
I often wonder if my son will gravitate towards some sort of engineering; if he will find his place among the slightly autistic group of the Technical Elite. He is a very visual-spatial thinker, much like his father, in that respect. Will he parlay that bent into a career where he is pretty much accepted for who he is? A mother can only hope.
J, that guy I am married to. is a computer engineer in a prominent company. He is very good at what he does. He also has some Aspergerish tendencies. Much of it he has self-taught himself to overcome. Through college classes where interviewing skills were practiced, seminars that taught how to read others as a part of behavioral interviewing, and careful attention to detail, he has managed to pass as just about normal.
He also has me to keep him social. The joke was his friends told him to get a life, he thought they said "wife" and went out and married me. In the early years, I was the Social Director.

Audit to benchmark and identify improvements to your SEO
- Author: Dave Chaffey
- Last updated: March 2012
- Format: Excel spreadsheet with a checklist of 130+ SEO activities to consider to improve your SEO
- Use with: Our 7 Steps to Successful SEO Success Guide
How will our SEO audit help me and my business?
It’s easy to get lost within the details of SEO, meaning that while you may be working on improving SEO, the big picture and long-term plan to improve the contribution of SEO is missing.
This lack of an SEO strategy can be a problem, particularly if you are responsible for setting strategy or managing SEO through other people like an in-house specialist or agency. It can also be a missed opportunity; the latest Google Analytics benchmark data shows that, on average, 27% of site traffic is driven through search engines. Yet many companies can attract 50% or more of visitors through search depending on the strength of their brand and how good their SEO capabilities are.
The idea of our audit is to give you a framework to review capabilities and activities to improve SEO and then create a longer-term plan where you need to “up your game”.
Although the “100+” label may seem scary, we’re showing there are a lot of issues to cover and we break them down into 6 clear areas and a further 5-10 within that from which you can drill down further through the outline in the spreadsheet if you need to.
What’s included in the SEO strategy audit
We’ve made the strategy audit easy to scan and complete a quick review. The main sections are:
- 1. Auditing value of current SEO and identifying goals.
- 2. Search indexing for maximum visibility.
- 3. On-page optimisation – checking the pages work for SEO.
- 4. Content strategy – managing the right type of content to attract links and visitors
- 5. Link-building – lots of ideas for link-building.
- 6. Internal linking – often a missed opportunity to improve SEO.
We try to keep the jargon and buzzwords to a minimum, but they’re inevitable with SEO, so we recommend using this spreadsheet checklist alongside our straightforward 7 Steps guide if you need to.

As the craft closet gets more and more cramped and our household
cleaning supplies cry out for a hiding place, I have started plotting out
a storage overhaul. It requires moving things around between five
spaces in our home but will hopefully end with a nicely organized
storage system (for the first time ever) and some breathing room
for painting and sewing. I was very excited about leaping into this
before the coming of the summer heat until I got the flu last weekend
and landed flat on my face. But like the dandelion, I will rise.
Speaking of which, I just finished the 100 Cupboards trilogy, by
N. D. Wilson. I highly recommend it, but only if you have either a
great deal of discipline or some time on your hands -- it's hard to set down! | <urn:uuid:d0ed1da2-f588-4d66-9f9f-42df004a56cf> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.susansketches.blogspot.com/ | 2013-05-22T00:48:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953407 | 169 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Yesterday as my mother and I loaded up the van after a shopping trip at Zellers a 60-something-year-old lady ran across the parking lot to catch us. I thought we must have left something behind at the cash.
“You’re the ones with the bobble-head moose on the dash,” she said. Her breath came in short gasps, so anxious was she not to miss us before we drove away.
“I was going to leave a note on your windshield.”
Turns out she had been searching for a bobble-head moose to bring back to her grand-son in Nova Scotia who had specifically asked for one.
Now our bobble-head had only been on the dash a week. We picked him up for $3.99 at the Dollar Shop in Flowers Cove on the Northern Peninsula. As we have had a moose-filled spring and summer — all safe encounters, thank God — I thought the bobble-head a fitting trophy for our van.
We had stopped in driving rain to eat lunch at L and E Restaurant in Flower’s Cove. After a scrumptious meal of hot chowder and Caesar salad, we all ambled across the dirt lot to the Dollar Shop. Surprise Baby knew what he wanted instantaneously — a set of tacky plastic golf clubs, which he waved around at the Vikings we met later in the day. The two teenagers shared a headphone splitter so they could watch their endless movies in the back of the van with two earphones each instead of just one. For me it was a toss-up between a licence plate and the moose. Lucky for the lady in the Zeller’s lot, I settled on the moose. I doubt her grandchild had a Dead Man’s Cove Come Home Year licence plate on his souvenir list.
When I told the lady where the nearest dollar stores were, it dawned on me it would be a lot easier to just give her the moose rather than send her on a potential wild goose chase. After all, who knew if Townie dollar shops stock bobble-head moose. When I picked up old Moosey off the dash, a glazed look came across her eyes. She seemed in shock. I thought Surprise Baby, belted in his booster seat in the back, might protest to see Moosey leave with this lady. But even he knew a good thing when he saw it.
“She really wanted our moose, didn’t she, Susan?” He quit calling me Mommy out of the blue one day on the Northern Peninsula.
“Yes, she did,” I answered as the lady and her friend jigged their way to their vehicle, big smiles on their faces.
If I had handed her a million dollars cash, she wouldn’t have been any happier.
Sometimes it doesn’t take a heck of a lot to make someone’s day.
Susan can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.org
Leigh with Multi Materials Stewardship Board writes: “Nice article in the Telegram this morning. We talked with SIFE when they were developing their program and offered some suggestions and cautions. Hopefully their program will work well for the professional recyclers, although we did warn them it had the potential to cause trouble for those who don’t follow the rules and decide to poach another’s turf, if it becomes more lucrative due to the higher number of containers being collected. We had suggested they work to pair these guys with businesses, who likely have more containers at one location (meaning fewer pick-ups and less work for more return), and which would likely increase the overall rate of recycling in the city, since many businesses are not participating at all (as opposed to homeowners, most of whom already recycle, and many of whom already donate their bottles to schools or other charitable groups.) Hopefully they can add that focus as they expand their efforts. As well, not sure if you saw in Saturday’s Telegram, but they are also working with the engineering faculty to design a better cart for these guys that would be easier to use than grocery carts... Hopefully these guys can make that happen, as I think it would be a big help.
Anyway, the main reason for me writing you was because you mentioned the guy who used to come around to your house was Roy… we used to have … Roy come around and collect bottles from us, as well as rake leaves, shovel, etc. If he’s the same guy (tall man, gruff voice, thick glasses), then I’m sorry to let you know he passed away about a year and a half ago, from cancer. It was very sad when we heard, and even worse that we didn’t hear until well after the funeral. I don’t think he had much family and we really would have liked to have said goodbye. I think about him every time I mow my lawn and shovel my steps.”
Susan’s Note: I think about Roy often as well. I hope his family and loved ones read this to know that people cared about him and miss his visits. May he rest in peace.
Gordon writes: “SIFE seems to be promoting and organizing welfare fraud. I’ll support this program when the can collectors start reporting their income.”
Pat writes: “Just read your article in today’s paper and thought I would update you on Roy, if you do not know by now… Unfortunately Roy passed away from cancer about 18 months ago (could be wrong on the time). We knew Roy Humber as he would stop in for a break during his rounds. He was sick for a while, then recovered but finally passed. He was at the Miller Center.
Unfortunately, we do not know the name of his “replacement” so we are not sure if it is Carter. I think I’ll ask him the next time I see him but he is elusive. He is quieter than Roy but there was a time when both of them would compete for our recycles. Hopefully this new program will help everyone.” | <urn:uuid:16f89d66-4f97-4ed3-9a0e-4dcad3144274> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.thetelegram.com/Arts%20-%20Life/2012-08-14/article-3052045/The-BobbleHead-moose/1 | 2013-05-22T01:17:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700984410/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516104304-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986192 | 1,294 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Plot? Who cares? But thanks for the Ringworld I'll keep it.

Wanted: Science Fiction Books moved by a great central idea such as: Ringworld by Larry Niven or The Forever War by Joe Haldeman.
posted by MasonDixon to writing & language (34 answers total) 36 users marked this as a favorite
The common trait of both of these I would argue is that the central concept is way more interesting than the plot. I don't even remember the plot of Ringworld even though I'm still fascinated by the concept of that kind of massive world. And could a war possibly be more boring than the one depicted in the Forever War? What is really interesting is the notion of "Time Travel" and the subsequent loss of home, family, lover, identity etc. due to extensive travel at relativistic speeds.
is out there, but it degenerates into debate and its from 2006. If you think my question is flawed, do me a favor and just keep moving along.

Euro zone finance ministers believe that Spain's budget cuts should take into account its weak economy, Spain's economy minister said on Tuesday, adding Madrid would work to limit economic recession.
The International Monetary Fund forecast late on Monday that Spain will miss its deficit targets in 2012 and 2013 as the economic contraction next year will be much bigger than the Spanish government has forecast.
"There was a positive evaluation (by euro zone finance ministers of Spain's 2013 budget on Monday), of Spain's economic policy and the need to carry out a fiscal adjustment that is sensitive to the economic situation in the country," Luis de Guindos told reporters at a European Union finance ministers' meeting in Luxembourg.
The IMF said in its fiscal monitor report that the country's deficit would reach 7 percent of GDP in 2012 and 5.7 percent in 2013, compared with European Union-agreed targets of 6.3 percent of GDP this year and 4.5 percent of GDP next year.
"The only thing I can say (about the IMF's forecasts for Spain) is to try to avoid that they happen," de Guindos said.
"Logically, we are working on the basis that such negative forecasts are not met," he said.
The government has based its budget plan for next year on a recession of 0.5 percent while the IMF forecast a recession of 1.3 percent in the country in 2013 after a 1.5 percent contraction in 2012.
Asked if euro zone finance ministers pressed Spain for more budget deficit cuts on Monday night to make sure the targets agreed with the European Union are met, de Guindos said: "No, absolutely not."
The IMF also said that Spain's debt will jump to more than 90 percent of gross domestic product in 2013 as the country recapitalises its banking sector [ID:nL6E8L92G6], but de Guindos again played down the forecasts.
"More than the projection, which is important, is to see how we are closing the Spanish macroeconomic imbalances."
Asked if the Spanish government would ask for financial aid from the euro zone, de Guindos said:
"At this moment, the Spanish government will continue with reforms, continue with cutting the public deficit and after that dissipate all the doubts that exist about the future of the euro zone."

If you need more than deathless prose to understand Monday’s Senate seating kerfuffle, watch the full video. The clip above is the full session; here’s a handy guide to the key moments:
38:40: Sen. Neil Breslin introduces his point of order objecting to the GOP majority’s decision to move the four members of the Independent Democratic Conference together. You can see breakaway Sens. Jeff Klein and David Carlucci seated behind Breslin.
43:10: Sen. Eric Adams rises to speak on the point of order.
45:55: Adams asks if Sens. Velmanette Montgomery or Suzi Oppenheimer are being discriminated against because of race or gender, and GOP Deputy Majority Leader Tom Libous takes exception.
49:55: Libous takes the floor and tells Adams he views his comments as an insult and inappropriate conduct for a lawmaker.
52:30: Breslin, attempting to return the toothpaste to the tube, rises to explain that his point of order was to help the chamber “rise above” the dispute.
54:35: Sen. Daniel Squadron — with Klein and Sen. Diane Savino behind him — weighs in, saying that the majority and minority need to clarify their respective roles.
55:20: Lt. Gov. Bob Duffy rules Breslin’s motion out of order, Squadron objects, his appeal is voted down.
1:01:18: Libous, his mic hot, murmurs, “That was waaay out of line, waaay out of line, Adams.” | <urn:uuid:beda7b27-e4f1-41f5-8db8-7b7ba9d24381> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol/archives/54612/video-watch-the-senate-seating-throwdown/ | 2013-05-24T09:39:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944299 | 338 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Starting out your morning… you shave, shower, and open up the morning dump
On tape, Corey Liuget was a fun guy to watch. He is a top competitor and a playmaker. He lacks ideal height but he has explosive quickness and great play strength. Many scouts felt Marcus Gilchrist was more of a safety than a corner. He has corner size and the physicality of a strong safety. He should be able to play over the slot. He is the type of energetic player you want on your team. When watching tape Jonas Mouton did not look like a second-round pick to me. He will have to be an inside linebacker in the Chargers 3-4 scheme. He lacks speed and is not real physical. Receiver Vincent Brown might not test as well as some of the receivers in the draft but he is a very productive player. He ran 4.57 at his pro day which is just average speed but he has very good body control, knows how to get open and has excellent hands.
In between moments managing facts4lance.com on Lance Armstrong’s behalf and dissing CBS for sensationalism, broken promises, false assurances and “selective reliance on witnesses upon whom no reputable journalist would rely,” Chargers spokesman Mark Fabiani found a half hour to drop in on Darren Smith’s XX1090 radio show to discuss the team’s stadium search Monday.
True, the San Diego Chargers missed the NFL playoffs for the first time in the last five years, but was the season really that bad? A 9-7 record isn’t the worst thing in the world and there were a lot of positives with the team last season. With a bit of fine tuning and some luck they could easily turn things around in 2011.

Microsoft’s $899+ Surface 8 Pro tablet will have roughly… four hours of battery life
Posted By Ashraf On November 30, 2012 @ 2:00 AM In Windows | 2 Comments
In a previous post today, I revealed Microsoft’s Windows 8 Pro Surface tablet will cost $899+. In my commentary, I mentioned the tablet is more of an Ultrabook than a tablet due to four main factors: full Windows (Windows 8 Pro), price ($899+), weight (2 lbs), and thickness (0.53 inches). We can now add another feature to the this-is-an-Ultrabook list — battery life.
If you look at battery life of various ARM-based tablets (e.g. Android tablets and iPad), you will note the top-of-the-line tablets get around 10 hours of battery life, give or take one or two hours. Surface RT, the Windows RT Surface tablet, gets about roughly eight hours. Surface 8 Pro, however, “will have approximately half the batter[y] life of Surface RT” according to an official tweet by Microsoft. That means after four hours of use, Surface 8 Pro tablet will be a really (really) expensive paperweight if you are unable to connect it to an outlet.
Of course, to compare Surface 8 Pro to ARM-based tablets isn’t fair. Surface 8 Pro runs full Windows 8 (not a mobile operating system) and runs on x86-64 architecture (not ARM). That means Surface 8 Pro is more powerful than ARM-based tablets. Combine that with the fact that Surface 8 Pro has a 1080p 1920×1080 display (the more pixels a screen has, the more power it consumes), and it makes sense that Surface 8 Pro has less battery life than other tablets. Still, however, it is hard to categorize four hours of battery life as anything above “average”.
See, I told you it is an Ultrabook.

In an advance that could help transform embryonic stem cells into a multipurpose medical tool, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have transformed these versatile cells into progenitors of white blood cells and into six types of mature white blood and immune cells.

This drink is based on an original recipe called the "Hilltop Special" passed down by Big Bob Schappert. It originated at his family's hotel, the Hilltop Lodge in New York. One night, while creating a Hilltop Special we realized that there was no simple syrup to be found, and so substituted Grenadine, yielding the blood-red color and inspiring the name.

There are no related records to this platform.
The ADvanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS) was developed by the National Space Development Agency (NASDA) of Japan to establish platform technology for Earth Observing System (EOS) spacecraft and ... inter-orbit communication technology for the transmission of Earth observation data. In addition, ADEOS contributed global observations of environmental change to the international community during the pre-EOS era. ADEOS was placed in a sun-synchronous, morning equator-crossing, polar orbiting spacecraft on August 17, 1996. ADEOS had a modular type shape with a deployable one wing solar paddle. The body measured 4 by 4 by 5 meters and the solar paddle was 3 by 13 meters in size. ADEOS was three-axis stabilized by a zero momentum strap-down attitude-control system. Attitude was maintained by four reaction wheels, two magnetometers, an inertial reference unit, and two hydrazine thrusters. Power was provided by a single gallium arsenide flexible solar paddle and five 35 Ahr NiCd batteries. Data was transmitted via direct transmission and inter-orbit communication through ETS-6. A Mission Data Recorder system onboard ADEOS stored high data rate and low data rate data on separate tape recorders.
Eight experiments on ADEOS included:
(1) Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (OCTS), a NASDA core instrument
(2) Advanced Visible and Near-Infrared Radiometer (AVNIR), a NASDA
(3) NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT), a NASA/MTPE-provided instrument
(4) Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), a NASA/MTPE provided
(5) Polarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances

(6) Interferometric Monitor for Greenhouse Gases (IMG), provided by
MITI of Japan
(7) Improved Limb Atmospheric Spectrometer (ILAS), provided by
Environmental Agency of Japan
(8) Retroreflector in Space (RIS), provided by the Environmental
Agency of Japan.
The design lifetime for this mission was expected to be three years. Subsequent flights of ADEOS are planned during the EOS-era. Signals from ADEOS were lost on June 30, 1997 and no futher contact with ADEOS has been made.

After seeing many of a card with a stick pin attached & plenty of discussion on the PTI Forum I decided to hunt out the pins and some beads to make my own, all materials used came from Jilly Beads
I started with a selection of beads and spacer beads.
Choose the beads you want to use and set them to the sideready to start adding them to your pin, The tiny lille silver tube that you can see is a crimping bead this will be the last bead you thread onto the pin shaft.
Start to thread the beads onto the hat pin shaft by adding the bead that you want at the top of the finished hat pin first, once you have all of the beads thread onto the pin shaft push them all to the top of the pin so that they sit tightly together.
The last thing to do is add a crimping beed to the pin, you push the crimping bead close up to the already added beads and nip it onto the hat pin with pliers this crimping bead will hold all of the other beads onto the pin and stop them from sliding on the pin shaft.
Here are 2 of the finished hat pins
A note from Julie :~ Thank you for a brilliant tutorial Jak
If you decide to use Jak's tutorial to make your own hat pins please leave a comment with a link to your creation so that we can have a look :) | <urn:uuid:2ce4287c-92f9-4f6f-a64b-622204fae383> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://inspirationaltechniquesandtutorials.blogspot.com/2008/06/lets-talk-hat-pins.html | 2013-05-24T09:10:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.930019 | 286 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
A series of events to explain more about the project to upgrade the Island’s highways network – including a groundbreaking ‘virtual public meeting’ – have drawn to a close with an overwhelmingly positive feedback received from residents.
Over four days last week, the council held three public meetings and one question and answer session on the social media site Facebook. The purpose of the engagement was to explain more about the Highways PFI scheme.
Under the project – the largest engineering scheme ever undertaken on the Island –£260 million of Government grant will enable the biggest investment in the county’s highways network ever undertaken. Around 800kms of existing Island highways, public pavements, footways and cycleways will be up-graded and maintained over a 25 year period. Other services such as street cleansing, roadside grass-cutting and winter maintenance will be carried out by one contractor increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
To explain more about the PFI, public meetings were held at West Wight Middle School on Monday, County Hall, Newport, on Tuesday and Ryde High School on Thursday last week.
On Wednesday, the council hosted a two-hour Q&A session on Facebook. It was the first time the authority has held a ‘virtual public meeting’ by Facebook. It attracted over 120 comments made up of questions from posters and real-time responses from senior council representatives.
In all, more than 50 people attended the public meetings. Of the feedback forms returned, 87 percent said they found the sessions informative or very informative.
Cllr Edward Giles, IW Council cabinet member responsible for environment, transport and waste, said: “I would like to thank those people who attended the meeting to learn more about the Highways PFI.
“Hopefully we were able to address some genuine questions that were raised and also counter some of the misconceptions that unfortunately exist about the scheme.
“From the feedback forms it was clear that the overwhelming majority found the sessions helpful.”
Cllr Giles said: “The numbers attending the sessions and contributing to the Facebook session were fairly small. I believe that the majority of Islanders – who for years have identified the condition of our roads as a major concern for them – now simply want us to get on and use this huge Government grant to give the Island a highways network of unprecedented quality.” | <urn:uuid:2d399002-fa5b-4716-b670-f10719e8700a> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://iwchronicle.co.uk/2011/06/highways-meetings-welcomed-by-residents/ | 2013-05-24T09:11:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961358 | 482 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
So are you going to be using screen shots of real people's profiles, or are you just going to create entirely new ones? Also, if you want the pages to feel realistic, make sure you consider that in facebook, basically all of your information is an active link. You don't use facebook so I'm not sure whether you know this, but whenever someone updates their profile it says what they updated on theirmini feed. As in "Becca updated her About Me section." Are you going to be using this when you make the subtle and not so subtle changes? Or are they even more subtle than that?
So I'm finishing my project right now (or at least trying to) and I'm sort of stuck. Like I said in class, I have 100 or so pages and not enough post-Little-Prince published works to post next to my entries. I know some of you suggested I write my own content, but I'm hesitant to do that. I started to write some, but it's sort of against my whole project idea, which is that this website is the entire intertextual work of The Little Prince. I guess I feel like my personal additions seem out of place.
So I was looking for more information on We Feel Fine and I stumbled upon this amazing website called Infosthetics that has an amazing library of online visualization projects. I think there are about 100 pages of archives and I looked at about 20, so there's much more for us to explore.
We need to make sure we don't forget about the wiki!!!! it needs some tender love and care, even though we are struggling with our projects. that's really all i had to say.
Borf is the tag of a graffiti artist who did most of his art in DC. His tag is supposed to be a reference to a friend of his, "Bobby Fisher" who committed suicide. I went to high school in the district and I remember everyone's excitement upon finding out that there was a Borf tag right next to our school.
Walker mentions a work called "The Unknown" in which the author encouraged inbound links so that readers would "stumble" upon the work, while on other websites. This made me think of an artist I was learning about in ceramics class (the name escapes me now, but I will post it on Tuesday) who would make really tiny models (I think of cities) and place them in random locations around cities like inside a phone booth or inside a museum stairwell. People who were going about their daily business would run into these really excquisite sculptures in the most mundane places.
In case you didn't check out my title, you should, because it is an example of why I disliked Lexia to perplexia. 31337 are numbers that are meant to represent the word "elite" and it is used on the internet along with other internet speak words like "pwn" and "n00b" to designate superiority. I only remembered the word "31337" because a guy I knew had it as his screen name and thoroughly enjoyed explaining to me what it meant.
I was reading in "Writing Machines" about Phillip's art book that was created from Mallock's novel. In one part she writes (I'm looking for the quote now but I can't seem to find it) that Phillips said that if the novel sold well he could do 12 new pages and substitute them in the book so that the nth edition might not include any pieces from the original.
I'm worried that the war part of the wiki is very text centered whereas the love part of the wiki is very link centered. my only worry is that the war one is setup for more growth right now... whereas the love one seems like a lot of the links are external so they sort of die (i guess?) and aren't easy to branch from. thoughts?
I really enjoyed reading "Kind of Blue." I thought the story itself was compelling and it was nice to have the reading broken up into little pieces (e-mails). E-mail is an interesting platform for a novel because it is virtually all dialogue. We only know what the characters themselves know (either they have written the e-mails or they have received them). Granted, we have acess to the e-mail boxes of many characters, so we have slightly more information, but all of the information we're reading was read by at least two characters. | <urn:uuid:bb7d76b2-d076-430c-9d24-9c118d4beecd> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://machines.pomona.edu/168-2007/blog/7/index.html | 2013-05-24T09:24:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981364 | 907 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

There's a general consensus that Sony stalled off the line with the PlayStation 3. Months of intense hype were followed by a late launch (fully a year after the Xbox 360) and a staggering £425 price tag for the deluxe model. Even worse, the PS3 didn't initially have any must-have exclusive titles, and despite the power of its vaunted Cell processor, multiplatform games from third-party developers didn't look appreciably better than they did on the Xbox 360.
Since then, the company's been modifying the PlayStation product line to better fit the competitive market landscape. A new PS3 is available with a larger, 80GB hard drive, and a deluxe model is due this autumn, doubling the capacity to 160GB. Both, however, lack backward compatibility with PS2 games and do not come with flash card readers. If those features are a must, it might be best to pick up an older model on eBay while they're still out there.
If you don't want to wait for the new 160GB (for which prices have yet to be announced), the £300 80GB version reviewed here might leave you short of space. Especially now that you can fill up that hard drive more easily with TV shows, games and movies from the PlayStation Store. Still, for those on a budget, the PS3 ups the hard-drive capacity from the older 40GB model and delivers nearly all the same gaming and home cinema features as its more expensive sibling.
The PS3's game drought has largely evaporated too, with popular titles such as Grand Theft Auto IV, Rock Band, Call of Duty 4 and BioShock all making their way to the console. While these titles are also available on the Xbox 360, the PS3 has exclusive dibs on Metal Gear and Uncharted, as well as the hotly anticipated LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 due to hit the console in upcoming months.
Yes, the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii also have their own handful of exclusive titles (Halo, Fable and Gears of War on the former, and all of the Mario, Metroid and Zelda games on the latter), but the PS3's HD graphics go far beyond those of the low-resolution Wii, and its stable hardware doesn't suffer from the Xbox 360's notorious red ring of death. Plus, now that Blu-ray Discs have become the de facto standard for high-definition media, the PS3 is still the only console able to play that format, and consequently is the best performing and affordable Blu-ray player on the market -- a great option if you want to introduce yourself to hi-def content.
Like the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii, the PS3 can stand vertically or lie horizontally in an AV rack, though because of its curved top, it's not meant to have any other components resting on top of it.
As for its dimensions, the PS3 measures 99 by 325 by 274mm, a similar size to the Xbox 360. The PS3 does weigh more, but there's no external power supply -- you just plug the power cable into the back of the unit and you're good to go. For those of us who own an Xbox 360, and have had to struggle with its massive brick of a power supply, this seems like a remarkable feat on Sony's part.
As opposed to the more typical tray loader, the PS3 has a slot-loading, Blu-ray optical-disc drive on the front, which contributes to the unit's slick appearance. Discs slide in and eject smoothly enough, but how the mechanism wears over time, we can't say -- but the odds of snapping off or damaging the Xbox 360's disc tray aren't exactly negligible. | <urn:uuid:378c20b1-6835-4081-a552-01a14addf735> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/games-consoles/sony-playstation-3-80gb-review-49299347/ | 2013-05-24T09:26:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957584 | 756 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Impact of a pharmacist-facilitated hospital discharge program: a quasi-experimental study - AHRQ Patient Safety Network
Impact of a pharmacist-facilitated hospital discharge program: a quasi-experimental study.
Walker PC, Bernstein SJ, Tucker Jones JN, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2009;169:2003-2010.
Medication errors are a leading contributor to adverse events after hospital discharge, and prior studies have demonstrated a high incidence of inadvertent medication discrepancies at the time of discharge. Pharmacist involvement in inpatient care is a proven strategy to improve safety, and a pharmacist-led medication reconciliation and education process successfully reduced medication errors and hospital readmissions in a prior study. In this trial, while the involvement of a pharmacist in medication teaching, medication reconciliation, communication of medication changes to outpatient physicians, and post-discharge telephone follow-up with patients did appear to reduce medication discrepancies, it had no impact on rates of readmissions and emergency department visits. This finding may indicate that more comprehensive discharge interventions may be necessary in order to reduce the risk of readmission.

SQL Server instance on my server is using almost full memory available in my Physical Server. Say if i am having 8GB of RAM than SQL Server is using 7.8 GB of RAM from system. I also have read articles and also read many similar questions regarding same on this forum and i understand that memory is reserved and it is using memory.
But i have 2 same servers and 2 SQL Servers, why this is happening on a single SQL Instance not on other. Also when i run DBCC MemoryStatus than it is showing up...
VM Reserved 8282008 VM Committed 537936
so from this we know that SQL reserved whole 8GB memory, but why this VM Committed keeps increasing. What i understand is VM Committed is:
VM Committed: This value shows the overall amount of VAS that SQL Server has committed. VAS that is committed has been associated with physical memory.
So this is the memory SQL Server has committed (from this i understand that physical memory actually SQL Server is using at instance).
So like to know the reason behind this ever increasing VM Committed memory on my server and not on another.

A character I made for my god/goddess rp. She lives in the human world and pretends to be a human, but is really a fallen angel, a demon. She goes to Negami's school and befriends her, Neniji, and Kurina (although Kurina is a bit suspicious of her) and fights the demons with them, despite being one herself. She has red angel wings which she can show when she wants them to, or under physical pressure (such as she's struggling figting an enemy, they'll appear automatically). With her wings shown she can fly, teleport, and activate her angelic and demonic powers.
I havent come up with a name for her, but upon entering in a title for this drawing (which means 'dark angel') I think her first name will be Kurai. She likes to cross-dress and pretend to be a boy, although her feminine face sometimes gives her away. She often wears a (what do you call that, the thing that girls use under their clothes to flatten their chests?) to make herself look even more like a boy and wears the guys school uniform instead of the girls.
Because she was an angel, she still wears the cross (which is probably a sin, but she doesnt care x3). She has a spiked collar and a cross necklace, but you cant see them over her jacket in the pic. Her scythe is a special type of weapon given to her by the demon king (that makes me want to say Nobunaga xD). It can take many forms, and was originally black, but it turned red when she was reborn as a demon and went on what the demons call a "newborn killing-spree", and her scythe was stained red with blood. Her scythe can take the form of a scythe, a rod, a curved blade, and a keychain with the wing on it for easy carrying.
Kurai (yes, that is officially her name now) is on what you would call the "FBIs most wanted list" by the other angels. All rogue, fallen angels get on the angels bad side and are hunted by them. Thats partially why she lives in the human world, its easier to hide from the angels.
Also, her red wings were originally white, but turned red when she became a demon.
Her history when living in heaven with the rest of the angels goes like this:
Kurai was born an angel, a servant of the gods/goddessess. However, when she was born, she had black hair, which to the angels is a bad omen of terrible things to come, so for all her life she has always been looked down upon. Since the other angels (except for her friends and mother) always thought bad of her, she disliked being in heaven and often would visit the human world. One day while she was in the human world, she met a demon who tricked her into going into hell and was then transformed against her will into a demon. She didnt know what to think, only of what had happened. Kurai was taken to the demon lord, who accepted her into the demons (demons accept anyone as a demon, angel, human, god) and gave her a weapon, her scythe, and told her that she should go out and kill something (demons are also fine with killing demons, as long as their not someone important, which is why Kurai can kill them along with Negami and not be punished). So she went out and killed a low ranked demon, and on her first taste of blood, went kill-crazy for it. Kurai then went killing tons of demons, until a general stopped her by placing a temporary spell (or such) on her, so she could learn to control her demon powers better.
When the angels heard she had been turned against them, she became a target. The angels hate anyone who turns against them, so they want to bring judgement upon her and kill her. Staying in hell is too easy for them to find her, for the angels can just go there and find her. So she goes to live in the human world, since its harder to find an demon acting as a human there. And thats when she attends Negami's school, befriending her and her friends, and helping them fight the demons, without letting them know shes a demonic angel. | <urn:uuid:8a937301-0c4a-44f0-9ffb-ef928b3ca62a> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://theotaku.com/fanart/view/381497/kurai_no_tenshi | 2013-05-24T09:31:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985766 | 908 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
I can't. Not at all. I mean other people's I'm fine with, but not mine.
Originally this blog was gong to be totally anonymous, a chance to vent with no fears about how people would judge me.
But I had to tell the husband, otherwise he'd assume the constant tap-tap-tapping on the keyboard was some recently kindled internet romance.
Then my twin, my womb-mate, she's been with me from the start (quite literally) she had to know.
If she knew my older sister couldn't be kept in the dark.
But that was it.
OK, just one more, the friend going through the same experiences but has been trying for even longer than me, who told me the first year was the worst.
The four girls I went to school with, my best friends who I have known since I was 11, I have been their bridesmaids and they have always been my confidants, and I tell them as much as is in the blog anyway – this way I don’t have to repeat it lots of times.

South-west urged to cash in on carbon credits
The Conservation Council of Western Australia says the south-west could reap the benefits of carbon sequestration which is set to begin next year.
The Commonwealth last week announced Australia would sign up to the second phase of the Kyoto Protocol.
The decision means Australia will be able to trade in carbon credits generated by protecting forests that would otherwise be logged.
Piers Verstegen says the arrangement creates real economic potential, through forest management, for south-west communities.
"Our logging industry is in a state of collapse and Australia's largest logging industry has gone into receivership but at the same time there's huge growth in the carbon credits industry globally," he said.
"That's the kind of industry that the south-west needs to be plugging into.
"The logging industry is clear-felling and wood chipping giant 600-year-old karri trees in our south-west for next to no economic return but the decision to allow forest carbon credits means the forest will be worth much more economically if we protect them from logging and instead manage them to preserve their capacity to take carbon pollution out of the atmosphere." | <urn:uuid:94541e86-8299-437c-86e1-71d0919d35a0> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-11-12/south-west-urged-to-cash-in-on-carbon-credits/4367040 | 2013-05-24T09:20:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963636 | 241 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

You'll notice, in a separate building, the McFadden Art Glass studios, which holds classes, demonstrations and events such as "date nights" on the first and third Friday of the month. Only then, back at your table in the dining room does it hit you: oh, the Glass Grill.
The menu is not fancy. The appetizers are modern pub standards like mozzarella sticks, steamed shrimp, chicken wings, creamy crab dip, quesadillas and onion rings. Squeezed in there, though, is a very likable garlic grilled shrimp appetizer. These were big, plump and nicely seasoned shrimp layered over a half-loaf of buttery toasted bread. The onion rings we tried were good, too - crispy and obviously home-battered.
The entrees are mostly pub fare and comfort food as well, but all just a bit more ambitious than you'd expect. So, in addition to fish and chips, crab cakes and ribs, there are bourbon-glazed salmon, a half-roasted chicken and a grilled shrimp and pasta dish: nothing elaborate, but things that call for some kitchen skills. Similarly, among the burgers and chicken melts there are several kinds of panini and a salmon club.
We enjoyed our food, which was served on pretty colored-glass plates, and everything tasted homemade. The broccoli served with our entrees was fresh, bright and crunchy, and the french fries were crispy, salty and hand-cut. The ribs were meaty, tender and natural-tasting; some kitchens let the sauce do too much talking. A salmon club sandwich is well put together, with crispy bacon. But because it only cost $7.99, we weren't too surprised that the salmon wasn't loaded with wild flavor. I didn't quite take to the Glass Grill's meatloaf, comfort food that sounded perfect for a cold winter's night, but we all like our meatloaf a certain way, and I like mine fluffier.
There was only one other table with diners on the Thursday night when we visited, and the cook was doubling as the food runner and a backup for the bartender/waiter. He half-smiled when we ordered noodles and butter from the menu; he seemed to know that we were ordering it partly out of fun. It's like ordering a bowl of cereal. He brought it out to us when it was done, and he had garnished it with fresh parsley. It was the best dish of noodles and butter you could ever want.

How to Lose Weight on Your Next Holiday
When you take a vacation, you subject yourself to the potential of serious weight gain. Leaving your diet behind can be a tough choice to make when you’ve been working so hard towards the body that you’ve only dreamed about until recently, and the last thing you want to do is ruin a good thing. So rather than gaining the weight that normally comes with a holiday or other getaway, here’s a few ideas to keep you on the right track and actually lose weight while you’re away from home.
Run in the Morning
A mile or more of running in the morning before breakfast is going to kick start your metabolism like nothing else. Consider it a pre-burn for your day. By getting rid of fat or stored energy, you’ll be saving yourself a little bit of trouble when it comes time to consume the calories. You could substitute a nice long swim for running as well if the blue water is too tempting to skip out on.
Take Your Meals with You
Believe it or not, you can pack your meals if you’re on a diet. Save part of your suitcase for the various meals that you’ll need to last you for the length of your trip. We know this might not seem ideal to some, but if you’re truly looking to keep your carbs low and your calories down is to dodge most of the food that’s available during a holiday.
Cut out the Appetizers
If you must eat out during your holiday, make sure to minimize how much you eat. Restaurants at tourist-friendly locations generally have very large portions regardless of whether you’re eating an appetizer or main course, so do yourself a favor and skip out on the appetizers altogether. If you must eat something before your meal, go for a salad with a light dressing and either chicken or pepperoni. Keep the cooked meats off of your salad at all costs.
Ditch the Bread
Another way the restaurants get you at a holiday destination is to serve up warm bread. Bread is the enemy of your diet and it’s loaded with carbohydrates, which will quickly turn themselves into stored energy, or fat. Keep away from the bread and let your mouth water for your main course. Yes, the temptation is tough to resist, but the reward is well worth holding out for.
Easy on the those Exotic Drinks
The umbrellas and nice color might look good to you, but those exotic frozen drinks that are generally served in a tall glass are loaded with sugar and bundled with lots of calories. You’ll get just as much taste out of a gin and tonic with some sweetened lime juice, and you’ll be cutting out everything that’s absolutely going to turn your diet to a wasted of time.
Hit the Gym
If you’ve got downtime at your hotel that you’re staying at, see if they have a gym for guests. A few minutes on the treadmill or hitting the weights is going to pay off big. Normally during a holiday, we don’t do much to get our cardio levels up, and this is the perfect combatant of weight gain for you. No need to spend your entire holiday locked in that little room, but you’ll like the results of a few visits.
Take Advantage of Excursions
Rather than laying on the beach all day, try out excursions like four-wheeling or jet skiing. Getting your heart racing a little bit is going to contribute to keeping your metabolism rushing, allowing you to get rid of the fat that’s building up with every meal you eat.

The giant image of Ennis, the size of 15 tennis courts, includes the words "welcome to our turf" and aims to spark a Twitter buzz via a #homeadvantage hashtag.
Cake created the concept as part of activity to draw attention to the role of British Airways as the official airline partner of London 2012.
The campaign is also aimed at welcoming home Team GB and ParalympicsGB supporters as the airline estimates 50,000 ex-pats will return to the UK this summer.
Luisa Fernandez, British Airways sponsorship manager, said: "Whether you're a Brit coming home, or an athlete arriving in for the London 2012 Games, this celebratory message reminds us all of the power of the home crowd and how important it is to get behind Team GB and ParalympicsGB."
British Airways claims to have supported over 1,500 UK Sport athletes and their families from 28 Olympic and 20 Paralympic sports with flights to train and compete abroad.
During the Games the airline will host 'Park Live presented by British Airways' at the Olympic Park, which is being positioned as a place for fans to go before or after watching an event or as a destination in itself, in a similar manner to Henman Hill at Wimbledon.
The parkland area can accommodate up to 10,000 visitors and will feature giant screens showing the live action, as well as a British Airways stage for interviews with athletes.

Video marketing for businesses can be a tough game to play. The video landscape is full of funny pranks and comedy acts, so finding an area to put your real content where it will be viewed is difficult. Many businesses are attracted to YouTube, as they boast six billion hours of video viewed. So, they figure, hey why can’t I get some of those hours. The problem is: YouTube’s viewed content is dominated by shows and comedy. | <urn:uuid:afd6c97c-3655-478f-8ff3-60c6aba3a21c> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/news/1136715/BA-psyches-overseas-athletes-giant-Jessica-Ennis-image/?HAYILC=RELATED | 2013-05-24T09:13:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946427 | 412 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
On The Land
A play by The Lions Part
Produced by Fresh Glory Productions
Directed by Sonia Ritter
7th - 9th April 2011
This is an affectionate and poignant tribute to the invaluable role of
the Women's Land Army (The Land Girls) during the Second World War.
The play is based on hundreds of letters from, and detailed interviews,
with original Land Girls, together with excerpts of songs of the period
and snatches of famous (or in the case of 'Bomber Harris') infamous radio
broadcasts. Harris spoke about the bombing of Dresden as being part of
an "experiment". Chilling.
Although the role of the Land Girls was romanticised to some extent,
their work was often back-breaking and unpleasant, working in all sorts
of extreme weather, including blistering heat and in snow- ridden fields.
and shoveling manure and deep mud.
There are a wide range of human emotions and experiences evoked in the
From humour - with Peggy (Kali Peacock) being the most comical - especially
in her attempts to plough a field without her glasses- to more serious
times, involving sexual harrassment by Italians POW's bullying and acute
The outstanding four-women cast (who all interplay different characters
- men and women) deliver their lines with panache, with their choreography
being equally impressive. the scene when they all tobogganed down a hill
was very funny.
To finish on a sad note, the sterling efforts of the Women's Land Army
was only officially recognised with medals in 2008. | <urn:uuid:d1a94aa6-35df-4af3-8d02-a5d7fb29aa97> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.catalystmedia.org.uk/reviews/lilies_on_land.php | 2013-05-24T09:17:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944929 | 337 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
It was like thinking you'd pay $60 for a doctor's office visit to have your blood pressure checked — and finding out you need a $100,000 heart surgery.
Monday's news that it would cost Memorial Health System $246 million to leave the Public Employees' Retirement Association left everyone with a coronary, and raised questions about why that number wasn't known months ago. As it was, the figure doomed a possible April 5 ballot measure to convert the city-owned system into a nonprofit, and might doom any such conversion, period.
However, backers of the nonprofit idea, while sobered by the PERA price tag, sound undeterred.
"At the end of the day, it's still going to be a 501(c)(3)," says James Moore, Memorial's board of trustees vice chair, citing IRS lingo for nonprofit status.
Nobody accepts responsibility for not having secured the figure long ago, and several members of the Citizens Commission on Ownership/Governance of Memorial Health System, which recommended converting Memorial to a nonprofit, say they raised the question early on. Commission chair Bob Lally says a $30 million to $50 million estimate was accepted by everyone involved, including lawyers, consultants and hospital officials. Those estimates came from Memorial, which had worked with consultants on the figures, says Carm Moceri, Memorial's chief strategy officer.
Moceri notes that the estimate wasn't far from PERA's partial figure of $58.3 million. Problem is, the pension fund's actuary did a second calculation to determine PERA's need for a reserve, which will allow the association to pay benefits years into the future.
"That total, which we never expected," Moceri says, "is $159,152,472." On top of that, PERA added $28.8 million for PERA's health care trust fund, a cost-sharing, multiple-employer health care trust.
Moceri notes that Memorial's obligation likely will be much less when an actual figure is calculated with 2010 numbers. Monday's figure was based on 2009 numbers; 2010 saw robust earnings in the stock market, where PERA has money invested.
So the next step is for Memorial to hire its own actuary to come up with a figure, then visit the PERA board to open negotiations. But Moceri says the wrangling could lead to legislation or litigation.
"We're questioning how they came up with their figures," Moceri says, "and whether it truly, legally is applicable."
He also notes that when entities like Memorial want to convert into nonprofits, "PERA should not be the reason the hospital stays as a city-owned asset. Yet, the way they do the calculations, they most assuredly are saying, 'We will determine whether you leave or not.'"
Commission member and former Indy employee Jay Patel says the $246 million figure will scare off potential buyers, such as Denver hospital giant HCA-HealthOne. For now, a HealthOne representative is saying only that it's good to postpone a ballot measure to allow "many creative solutions" to surface.
Steve Hyde, a health care policy and strategy consultant who resigned as commission chair in its early weeks, thinks the hospital is worth enough that even with the PERA payment, the city could walk away with $100 million to $150 million for a community foundation. "The only way to find out is to have people come in and make offers," he says.
Mayor Lionel Rivera says the hospital probably will have to save for a while if it wants to pay off PERA. Meantime, several observers say Memorial should immediately convert non-vested workers to a defined contribution plan, like a 401(k), instead of continuing to rack up liability in PERA.
As Moore says, "All possibilities are on the table."
Council OKs two ballot issues
City Council gave its blessing this week to move forward with two of six questions Mayor Lionel Rivera proposed for the April ballot, in hopes of tweaking the new strong-mayor government.
One will ask voters to change Council from four district and five at-large seats to six district and three at-large seats, giving neighborhoods more representation (effective in April 2013). The second would allow the new mayor to attend Council's executive sessions. Under the new system approved in November, the mayor is only allowed to attend Council's open sessions. However, some key decisions are made in executive session, so a 5-4 majority of Councilors felt it was important for the mayor to attend them, if voters approve.
Councilors Randy Purvis and Tom Gallagher refused to support any of the mayor's proposals, saying a charter-review committee should be formed, making possible recommendations for the November ballot.
Purvis called the mayor's plan, intended to fix immediate problems, a "piecemeal approach." Gallagher said Council's efforts "look a lot like a lame-duck Congress trying to shove things through."
With no petition-driven ballot questions, those two will be the only questions on the April ballot aside from the mayoral and Council races.
Rivera says a charter advisory committee will be set up soon.

It was recently claimed that director Christopher Nolan is looking to employ IMAX technology for the whole of the next Batman movie, instead of the approach taken in The Dark Knight, in which only certain scenes were shot for IMAX cinemas.
However, director of photography Pfister - who worked with Nolan on the two previous Batman films - denied the rumors in a question-and-answer session for The Wrap.
The 49-year-old also supported Nolan's decision not to shoot the picture in 3D, saying: "I'm not a big fan of 3D.
"I think one of the biggest problems for Chris, and I would second this, in doing a film in 3D, is it has to be shot in a video process, and we're film people to the end. You'll have to pry that film camera out of my dead hands. Chris wasn't interested in doing post-effect on the film in 3D.
"The so-called digital revolution is great. If you have no money and you want to shoot it on your Canon 5D - fantastic. If that's the only way you can make the movie, great. But if we're putting movies up on a screen this size... we need to deliver the best image quality there. And there's nothing better than film."
Last month, Nolan said that he hopes to achieve new levels of "extraordinarily sharp, high-resolution" image quality in The Dark Knight Rises. | <urn:uuid:753591e1-ef55-455f-a1b9-08f8dfd01791> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/news/a287790/dark-knight-rises-not-entirely-in-imax.html | 2013-05-24T09:18:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966736 | 301 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

What game genres do you associate with Facebook gaming? Puzzle games perhaps? Maybe strategy games, or match-3 games? Cow clicking simulators? Most likely, the racing genre didn't come to mind at all, with a distinct lack of driving titles on the social platform.
A team of former Midnight Club veterans is looking to fill that gap, with its upcoming game Carnage Racing. Notably, they've taken the Jagex name, and are now working out of Jagex's new California studio.
"I don't think there is anything magic about making a racing game that runs as a Facebook app in the browser," explains Michael Currington, technical director at Jagex California.
"Our advantage may be that we started this project with a huge amount of experience of making driving games, but without a pre-existing technology base that we had to build on. So when making our game we were not trying to shoe-horn a C++ engine into a custom browser plug-in and could instead start from scratch on a browser friendly technology."
Of course, coming from a retail-driven environment, these developers are having to learn to adapt to the social gaming model fast.
"We were very aware that our players have nothing invested in the game when they start playing," Currington continues. "The initial 20 minutes are crucial to a free-to-play game, whereas you can force your player to sit through an intro cutscene for 20 minutes in a console game without losing most of your players."
Browser games offer numerous advantages over console games too -- sharing and viral options are notably far easier to integrate than in the console world.
"We spent a lot of time determining the ways we wanted our game to interact with players and their friends through Facebook," he adds. "I think it is very easy to use Facebook in an entirely obnoxious way, but there are also some great ways to use Open Graph and the Facebook APIs to enhance the game experience."
Despite all the graphs, DAU counts and "share to wall" opportunities that Facebook throws at a developer, Currington believes that the core principle behind game design never changes, no matter what platform you're building for.
"A fun game is a fun game irrespective of platform," he says. "The importance of creating a game that is really enjoyable and that people will want to play, time and time again, is the most important design focus by far. After all, there is no point having a game with excellent monetization if it isn't fun because nobody will play."
Carnage Racing will allow non-paying players to continue racing forever with no restrictions. "Pay-to-win" is a dirty term at Jagex, and the only in-app purchases you'll find in a Jagex game are extra content to enhance the experience, rather than giving players an unfair advantage.
The big question is, can Jagex appeal to more hardcore players on Facebook, with a racing title that is a console-like experience? Currington believes that the game's matchmaking facilities, which allow skilled players to compete with more social gamers via special strategic elements, will help to draw in every type of racing fan.
As he points out, "With more than 1 billion users on Facebook, I doubt there are very many hardcore game players who don't already use Facebook every day" -- it's simply all about offering these players something that they actually want to try.
And what of the current Facebook and social game exodus, with players (and in turn developers) moving across to mobile games? Says the Jagex man, he's not worried, as his team is being careful to stay open to as many platforms as possible.
"I think anyone who is completely married to a particular platform should be worried, irrespective of who they are," he adds. "The marketplace is moving so quickly that you have to leave as many options open as possible should you want to expand your platform base in the future." | <urn:uuid:c8c5572d-a8fd-4aa6-894b-dc39b2054003> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/179747/Midnight_Club_veterans_look_to_fill_Facebooks_racing_game_gap.php | 2013-05-24T09:24:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976495 | 812 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
It is great to have friends that aren’t afraid to speak the truth in love! One year ago, my two girlfriends sat me down and surprised me with an “Augie” intervention. As a mother of three, a student in early childhood studies, and an in-home childcare giver, I think I had begun to feel immune to any problems my “sweet little boy,” Augie, might be causing.
One would think that after I found blueberries all over his bedroom carpet and toothpaste in my hairbrush, that I might have been clued in to the fact that he needed an outlet. However it took a couple embarrassing incidents of him “using the potty” in the front yard in front of the neighbors to help me see that maybe he did need some other activities!
The real problem was that I was not willing to trust anyone else in his care. I knew that he was acting out, but wasn’t ready to give him up! That was when my good friends hit me with the hard truth, “Oh, so you’re not staying home for his sake… you’re staying at home for yourself.” Ouch!
Well, much to my sweet satisfaction, the search for a preschool has ended in a commendable school for Augie and an amazing job for me at the Grove School. My fears of Augie being unloved or misunderstood have been laid to rest as I have been witness to great love for him from his teachers and his new “best buddies” at school. In one month, he has learned to write his name, count to twenty without saying “thirteen, fifteen, fifteen,” and he actually participates in art! He rolls around on the eco-turf hills and is constantly hugging on his friends at school.
His little mind is busy all day and he gets quality time outdoors. This has ended our blueberry and toothpaste episodes! We have been so pleased to have the chance to soar with the Grove School. I am pretty sure the neighbors are pleased too! | <urn:uuid:840074a5-0090-4c20-be5d-0ce78b7b9f6b> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.groveschool.com/author/lisa-wohlschlaeger/ | 2013-05-24T09:38:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990425 | 433 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Naomi Sims, 'First Black Supermodel,' Dead At 61 (PHOTOS)
The New York Times reports that model Naomi Sims died on Saturday at age 61. The cause of death was cancer.
Sims was considered the "first black supermodel" for appearing on the cover of Ladies Home Journal in November 1968, a time when African-American models were few and far between. She subsequently modeled for designers like Halston, Fernando Sánchez, Teal Traina, and Giorgio di Sant'Angelo. She also appeared on many other magazine covers, and two images-- a 1969 cover of LIFE and a 1967 New York Times fashion magazine over--are on display in the Metropolitan Museum's "The Model As Muse" exhibit.
After five years, Sims retired from modeling and started a multimillion-dollar wig-making business that specialized in designs for black women. Sims also penned at least five books on beauty and modeling.
Naomi Campbell told Essence.com "She broke through the glass ceiling to lead the way for those models and business women of color, who followed in her footsteps." | <urn:uuid:fe57e26b-a91e-4b98-8950-171800703c8a> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/04/naomi-sims-first-black-su_n_250340.html | 2013-05-24T09:47:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955951 | 225 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Go to: Green Ideas
Sustainable development means satisfying the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
This does not mean going back in time and doing without the benefits of modern society. On the contrary we need to make greater use of our human inventiveness to create technologies which are environmentally friendly. Farming methods should strike a balance between the use of renewable resources and their replacement. Where resources do not renew themselves quickly or easily such as tropical hardwood trees, which take many years to grow, alternatives should be developed. We can develop low energy utilising methods of existence based on renewable sources.
Science is concerned with factual information. The truth is the sum total of many facts. We manipulate facts and science to suit our beliefs. We can use science foolishly or wisely. We can apply science to building weapons or we can apply science to solving important ecological problems. Science is a tool. We choose how and when to use it. We can strengthen our procedures for screening new products. CFCs and the thalidomide drug are examples of how lax screening has been disastrous for the environment and people. We must remove any man-made chemicals which have potential for damaging the environment.
Growth in Human Population, Energy Consumption, Information and Mobility
New chemicals need to be subjected to a more rigorous scrutiny before they may be supplied for use. They should not be available for a period of at least 20 years during which tests and a graduated introduction into the environment can be made. This may frustrate some people but it will have a tempering effect on development which is currently too rapid and riddled with safety problems.
We do not understand the complex relationship between human activities (including the synthetic chemicals we produce) and the environment and need more research in this field. We need greater caution. We should not wait until we have 100% scientific proof that a material is dangerous. The discovery of the ozone hole in 1975 and its link with CFCs is a case in point. On the contrary we should have 100% conclusive knowledge that a chemical or genetically modified organism is safe before releasing it on the environment. We need efficient monitoring of the environment for changes in air, water, soil and numbers of flora and fauna. | <urn:uuid:1f0a21d8-6f2b-4d49-890b-2b9a3a68d86e> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.informaction.org/index.php&main=ch_greenhouse_form&lang=chinese&encoding=utf8&letter=chinese_gen_gre_pol&subject=%E6%B8%A9%E5%AE%A4%E6%95%88%E5%BA%94%20/index.php?main=greenideas_science&bg=Image33.jpg | 2013-05-24T09:32:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95527 | 457 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

You’re not ugly.
Not in the least. Don’t make those videos. Take them down if they are up. You don’t need people to tell you how beautiful you are on there. You don’t need to put yourself in the position to be judged that way. You are better than that and you deserve the very best in life. If I could come through this screen and tell you and show you and bolster you and buoy you up and raise you high above all the bad shit you are going through – so your spirit is free and you feel like you are flying, I would. I’d give anything if I could find a way to show you how lovely and perfect you are. If you’d believe me when I say you are amazing, you are the only you in the world and that makes you special and precious and holy, truly one of a kind – it would make me the happiest.

New Zealand's Manuka Honey is a natural healing agent that may benefit your overall health and stimulate natural healing.
Manuka Honey is a natural healing agent widely revered for its antiseptic and antibacterial qualities. It has been used for centuries to heal and repair damaged skin and wounds and for the general maintenance of health and wellbeing.
Manuka honey is sourced from the Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium), native only to New Zealand. Naturally made by bees,pure Manuka Honey differs from other types of honey because it contains more antibacterial qualities than any other variety. The antibacterial activity of Manuka Honey is tested and rated according to strength, with variance from 5+ to 40+.
There has been a recent resurgence in the popularity of Manuka Honey, mostly as due to greater demand for natural, organic health products. In response, Manuka Honey is making an appearance in many supermarket brands and products, however, for optimum health benefits, it is best to consume pure Manuka Honey.
In its pure form, Manuka Honey is a powerhouse for fighting infections, healing and repairin. It was used by conventional medical practitioners up until the 1940s and 50s, when it was replaced by the introduction of antibiotics and other synthetic treatments.
The antibacterial and antimicrobial properties in pure Manuka Honey benefit by helping to heal cuts, wounds and abrasions, and even fungal conditions such as athlete’s foot and ringworm. Manuka Honey has been used for the treatment of skin conditions such as exzema, psoriasis, dermatitis and dry skin and is said to assist in re-building damaged skin.
This amazing natural health product is antioxidant-rich and active in reducing inflammation, so it’s also beneficial for resisting disease, ageing, and the maintenance of general wellbeing.
Manuka Honey can be used as a supplement, added to foods or applied like a balm, but however used, its natural health benefits will have a lasting effect on your wellbeing. | <urn:uuid:2902d0aa-d648-4e72-9f4b-3938fd658703> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.lifetimehealth.com/articles.php?article_id=60 | 2013-05-24T09:18:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962786 | 412 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
The Body Shop • Seaweed Starter Kit • Skincare - Face
|Would buy this product again.||69%|
Age: 19-24 Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium Hair: Black Eyes: Brown
I switched to this from Proactive after 8 years. I just wanted to find something new. DEAR GOD! it broke me out everywhere! I even got pimples on my eyebrows that it was hard to fill them in!! I got big old red pimples on the side of my face that eventually left a big acne scar. I will never ever buy this again! this was horrible! and I don't even have sensitive skin. Plus, it did not help with oil control.
Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Brown
I bought this simply because I needed a skin care system that I could use every day without having to worry about harsh chemicals that wouldn't even help my skin/acne problems. I have combination skin and it's hard to find something that works, but I can say this seaweed starter kit did wonders for my skin! I got less acne and my black heads were 10X easier to remove which was a huge plus for me. I really like the Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash. You don't need to use much and it soaps up really nice and makes your face feel really clean and fresh. I also really like the Seaweed Clarifying Toner. It gets rid of anything left on my face that the facial wash left behind and gets my face ready for either my day cream or my night cream. It also makes your face feel tingly which means it's working! I do like the Seaweed Clarifying Night Treatment, it feels really nice and fresh on my face and almost feels like it sets everything for when I'm sleeping; but it didn't seem to do anything for my skin but moisturize (I would like a bit more out of a night treatment; possibly the Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion.) The only thing I didn't like was the Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream. Every time I put it on; especially around my nose and chin area, it always seemed to get oily. I'm not sure why because I made sure to only use a little bit and even tried using less and less and that didn't even help with the oiliness. For a day cream, I think I would need to go with the Tea Tree line as well.
I got my starter kit when it was on sale for $12 which was a great deal! Regular price in Canada is $25 plus tax. I wouldn't buy the kit again because I don't travel much; and after trying it, I now know that I have to mix and match by using the Seaweed products and the Tea Tree products. I will continue to buy these two product lines though. They work great, they are all natural, good for your skin and a decent price.
Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Medium Hair: Brown Eyes: Black
I tried this one when i went to Singapore next summer.I heard many good raves about this and i bought a travel set with cleanser,this toner,day and night cream. Well,when i first used the cleanser& toner,i feel refresh and love its smell.But i found it make my skin drier,and my skin became oilier after 2 hours. The day cream is more better,it is lightweight so absorb very quickly but my skin still oilier after few hours.I did not use the night cream so i cant review it .Btw,i still like the body shop brand b/c they have starter kit in all line for us to try.
Age: 19-24 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium Eyes: Green
This is a good value for the price (I believe it was around 18.50?) and a great way to try this line.
I was excited to buy this and give it a whirl to help my minor acne and dryness. Unfortunately, it reacted badly with my combo skin and caused a terrible breakout explosion on my forehead.
I wanted to love this... back to the drawing board.
Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Olive Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Brown
I never had much luck with any of the facial systems I purchased in the past, but the seaweed line works perfect for my combination skin and leaves it feeling clean and fresh. I love the smell of it and I am sure, if I would keep up with it religiously every morning "and" evening, I would get even better results, but whatever.
I remember buying the Starter Kit for a rather expensive price, but it's worth it. After using it I just had to buy the actual products! Now, I have the whole seaweed line and totally swear by it! Nothing else will ever touch my skin, unless I find something better.
I think this kit would be a great gift to any friend or family member with combination skin. And a friend of mine was actually going to buy it for me, but I had been faster than her. Dang it! ;)
Age: 30-35 Skin: Dry, Dark, Warm Hair: Black, Kinky, Coarse Eyes: Black
What'a thre bog deal about this product? I couldn't find my beloved drug store moisturizing soap anywhere so asked what they had for dry skin. The face wash still made my skin dry so I threw it in with my regular hand wash gel to use it up. The clarifying toner is OK, nothing special for the skin but I do like to throw some on my hands and rub it over my neck with my lotion for the scent alone. Its basically just scented water. The clarifying night treatment gel after cleansing my face left it as dry as if I hadn't used lotion at all. The whole package i sbasically a sweet smelling gimmick. I would have rather spent my money on a perfume that had the same fragrance. Definitely not for dry skin. I;m guessing it;s better for oily skin.
Age: 19-24 Skin: Very Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine Eyes: Brown
I love this line and I am very thankful for body shop that they have this in starter set for us to try on the majority of their seaweed line. This one contains the Facial Cleanser, Toner, Night Treatment and Mattifying day cream. I find everything useful except for the mattifying day cream (I have a review on this). Plus the cyanic mesh pouch is soooo cute! I kept all the tiny bottles so I can use this whenever I travel.
Age: 30-35 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium Hair: Black Eyes: Brown
I bought this trial set. Glad that this range is available on sample size. I have tons of TBS skincare at home, so bought this to try. I hate it at first, just started using it again cos I have lots of clogs on my nose area. It works very well, my clogs seems lesser, skin also less oily. I uses few range together, Vit E, Seaweed, Aloe, TTO, all works quite well for my skin needs. I really love the foaming cleanser, the toner and the day cream the best for Seaweed range. Would get the trial set again once I am done with my current set cos it is really good for travelling. I am super nuts about TBS stuff now:):)
Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Medium Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown
I have got soo many skin care products that i never knew which to settle with. so i used a different one everyday. then one day i decided to take a quick glance in The Body Shop n see what sales i can find. the Lady there helped me out so much in chosing this line for me.
I've been using it for a week now. n its unbelieveable how incredible my skin feels. I've used the most organic products i could fine. but nothing like this. I have acne prone skin. n believe it or not. ever since i started using this product, no breakouts. except for the ones that already started on my face, that this product help to deminish. it's amazing.
i also think the little wand helps alot. to brush away the dry skin from the face. n the way your skin feels soo alive and tingly after the wash, n then the toner refreshes the skin, does not leave it with a dry feeling what so ever. and the day lotion is ooo sooo soft n light.. i just LOVE LOVE LOVE itt!!! :)
if your very disisive about the product you use, TRY THIS!! believe me, you'll be inpressed.

I move around a lot due to being in the military so I have to get used to different climates. I cannot tell you how well this line works everywhere I go! I love it! For Arizona or the desert I use the day cream, but when I'm in more humid places like Georgia or Florida I use the day lotion instead. Also they just came out with a new mask and I got a sample of it before they could actually sell it. LOVE! It is like your typical clay type mask but not nearly as drying. I only have to use it maybe once or twice a week and it is amazing! It really zaps blackheads too. And the little kit is great because you can refill it with the larger sizes. Some other lines make the packaging more difficult so you can't do this. My combo/oily skin has never been clearer and I get soooo many compliments on my complexion. I highly recommend this to everyone with combination/oily skin because you can tweak the regimen just slightly to make it perfect for you. Hope this helps. Have a great day!
Side note: Holy crap my skin hates this during the winter. Not moisturizing enough. I will only repurchase this in the summer time.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE TBS new seaweed line!!!!!!!! I have basically oily skin, and this stuff rocks in every way. The facial wash gets ALL my makeup off and leaves such a nice tingle behind, as does the toner. Cleans SO well, my face feels squeaky clean but not stripped and dry. The mattifying moisture lotion is the BEST and leaves my skin so soft. I have found my skincare line!!! I hope they continue making it forever.......

Let me start by saying I LOVE the Seaweed line…and here’s why: After purchasing TBS’s Tea Tree Oil Blemish Stick and absolutely fell in love with its performance (it will dry up a blemish over night), I thought the rest of the Tea Tree Oil line must be just as good, so I bought it (cleanser, toner, moisturizer and scrub) and YUCK! What a disappointment. The Tea Tree Oil line broke me out and made me super oily! When I took the Tea Tree Oil prods back the very helpful sales rep steered me in the direction of the Seaweed line. I reluctantly bought the starter kit (smaller sizes of the Purifying Face Wash, Purifying Toner, Shine Control Moisturizer and sample packets of the Foaming Facial Scrub) and to my surprise, I absolutely LOVE this line. I have sensitive, breakout-prone skin and the only thing I had found to keep the breakouts in check was Pro Activ Solution (which stops working over time and leaves my skin somewhat dehydrated). The Seaweed line covers all the bases…it’s gentle, cleans well without over drying, clears up and prevents breakouts…and without dehydrating my skin. I have tried and spent a fortune on MANY skin care lines only to be disappointed. The nominal cost of this line and the fact it works has made me a believer in the benefits of seaweed. It’s definitely worth a try…IMHO. | <urn:uuid:6d524835-9da1-4f0c-b3a2-2be93b4cd188> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.makeupalley.com/product/x_showreview.asp/ItemId=56275/Seaweed-Starter-Kit/The-Body-Shop/Skincare---Face | 2013-05-24T09:18:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962368 | 2,835 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Tewa (also known as Tano) is one of three Kiowa-Tanoan languages spoken by the
Pueblo people of New Mexico.
Though these three languages are closely related, speakers of
one cannot fully understand speakers of another (similar to German and English speakers).
The six Tewa-speaking pueblos are Nambe, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, San Juan, Santa Clara, and Tesuque.
As with Tiwa, Towa and Keres, there is some disagreement among the Tewa people as to whether Tewa should be a written language or not. Some Pueblo elders
feel that their languages should be preserved by oral traditions alone. However, many Tewa speakers have decided that Tewa literacy is important for passing the
language on to the children. The Tewa pueblos developed their own orthography (spelling system) for their language, San Juan Pueblo has published a dictionary
of Tewa, and today there are Tewa language programs teaching children to read and write in most of the Tewa-speaking pueblos. | <urn:uuid:4532e36c-700b-44e6-9f9c-dbea58a76772> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.native-languages.org/tewa.htm | 2013-05-24T09:25:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955146 | 240 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
This resource is hosted by the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, but was compiled and authored by Padraig O’Malley. It is the product of almost two decades of research and includes analyses, chronologies, historical documents, and interviews from the apartheid and post-apartheid eras.
This report summarises a larger study of levels and sources of regional inequality in South Africa. Inequality is analysed both across regions nationally and within former development regions E (KwaZulu/Natal) and F (Eastern Transvaal). The two regions chosen for detailed examination illustrate several regional implications of national policy. For example, growth in the two regions has been at opposite ends of the national spectrum, with KwaZulu/Natal experiencing low growth relative to the national average and Eastern Transvaal showing unusually strong growth. Population distributions in the two regions are divergent as well, in that Region E has a very high proportion of population in former homelands and Region F a low proportion. The sectoral composition of the regions is also dissimilar, with Region E abnormally concentrated in manufacturing and Region F uniquely tied to extractive and energy sectors. Comparing these two regions highlights how distinct population and sectoral structures have affected growth and hence inequality among regions. National employment and industrial policy will have very different effects on these two regions due to their varied structures. | <urn:uuid:8d0b8f58-9276-4c40-8bad-2fa4442d4329> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.nelsonmandela.org/omalley/index.php/site/q/03lv02167/04lv02218/05lv02219/06lv02222.htm | 2013-05-24T09:38:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950898 | 277 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
English Studies/Communication and Entrepreneurship
Year of graduation
Web Projects Assistant
The University of Nottingham
When I started applying to universities I had no idea what kind of career I wanted, so I decided to pursue a subject that I loved and see where it took me! During my degree I studied a variety of literature – everything from Beowulf to Virginia Woolf – explored linguistic approaches and even directed a play.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and while not every module suited me, the variety really helped me to discover more about my own interests and strengths. In fact, after graduating I pursued my interest in linguistics by doing a masters degree in Communication and Entrepreneurship.
I was surprised to find a course that combined linguistics and business studies, as the subjects seemed so dissimilar – but I soon found that my knowledge of linguistics was indispensible for evaluating advertisements and business communications.
After graduating with my masters, I undertook a University-run work experience placement at a local business, where I worked in a marketing and communications role. The language skills I gained from my degree in English Studies were put to good use as the placement involved a lot of copywriting. I was also taught to use a content management system, which helped me to get my current role as Web Projects Assistant.
My advice is to grab the opportunities The University gives you while you can. Do a work placement, volunteer at a charity, study abroad, present a show on URN, write for Impact – these are all opportunities to find out what interests you and to prove that you can transfer skills from your degree to real-life situations. | <urn:uuid:d11b3134-2706-43ba-89dd-f83e514ffa8d> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/studywithus/studywhatyoulove/whatgraduatessay/peggy-mcgregor-profile.aspx | 2013-05-24T09:35:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972449 | 331 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Deming Jarves, Manufacture Of Pressed Glass
During the War of 1812 to 1814, Anglo-Irish glasshouses stored up a quantity of glass which was dumped on the American market in the years immediately following the peace treaty. This supplied the immediate demands. By 1820, however, industries of the new republic had partially recovered and measures were taken to encourage manufacturers. Legislators were urged to protect the young industries by passing high tariffs. The Franklin Institute was formed in Philadelphia to encourage American production. Emigration went westward and industries expanded in that direction. Glass manufacturers sought cheaper processes to satisfy the ever increasing American demand. Blown Three-mold glass was probably the first successful line of American glassware to reach extensive production. It was less expensive than imported cut ware, but still not cheap enough.Pressed glass was the answer.
In the early nineteenth century both in American and foreign glasshouses a hand press was in use. Pressed feet were attached to such blown articles as bowls and candlesticks. A few small items, such as salts and stoppers, were completely pressed. Deming Jarves himself mentions the importation of salts pressed in "metallic molds." Although a hand press was used in Europe, records point to this country as the place where it was mechanized.
Whether an American glassworker, moldmaker, carpenter, or the glasshouse owner himself, whether the inventor was alone or had a partner, just who was the first to mechanically press glass we do not know. As so often happens, experiments with the pressing machine may have been simultaneously successful in several factories. Certainly from 1825 on there was a plethora of patents for the pressing of glass, most of them stating the claim as an "improvement."
Regardless of the inventor, it was Jarves who first saw the possibilities of the glass press. By the time he had obtained his first patent in December, 1828, for an improved glass press, there were a number of companies using the new method. By 1830 so many improvements had been made that mass production of pressed glass was well underway. Pressed glass is characterized by a smooth surface (made by the plunger) opposite the patterned surface (made by the mold).
Deming Jarves was responsible for a great deal of beautiful glass prized by modern collectors. In 1825 he founded the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company on Cape Cod. Although blown and cut ware was made there from the beginning, the idea of pressing articles larger than salts was in Jarves's mind. Other glasshouse owners were also thinking about pressed glass, for patents were taken out in successive years by Bakewell's of Pittsburgh, the New England Glass Company at Cambridge, Massachusetts, as well as the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company. Jarves patented many improvements and his factory produced greater and greater quantities of it, eventuallv including sets of stemware and tableware, as well as candlesticks, vases, lamps, bowls, and souvenirs, in clear and colored glass. | <urn:uuid:a04ab967-fec5-452f-9c07-07762ed43ada> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.oldandsold.com/articles01/article634.shtml | 2013-05-24T09:17:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983306 | 638 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Last month over 700 artists competed for a shot at being featured on VIBE.com in the “Your Music on VIBE.com” Channel. Holding the Number 2 spot on the charts was an action-packed NYC hip hop band by the name of Dujueos with their track “Spectacular.” The group has a solid record on OurStage’s Alternative Hip Hop Channel with two Number 1 monthly titles and a Number 1 hip hop video. It’s no surprise that this band, who’s opened for the likes of Kanye West, Busta Rhymes, Funkadelic and John Legend, would catch the eyes (and ears) of the editorial staff at VIBE. After finding out about their big win Taylor, the band’s guitarist, was bursting with excitement: “OurStage is a great place for indie artists to get discovered. We are really happy about winning the upcoming Vibe.com feature and are glad that people are hearing and feeling our music.” Keep checking VIBE.com for more on Dujueous.
Wait, there’s more! VIBE is returning to OurStage again this month to scout for more new rising superstars in the urban music scene. Hip hop and R&B artists should enter their original songs the “Your Music on VIBE.com” Channel for a chance to be featured in one of the urban music scene’s most popular online destinations. One artist will be selected from the Top 10 by staff at VIBE to receive a Q&A and streaming music premiere on VIBE.com in addition to a music critique from the president of G-Unit Records, Sha Money XL, and the all-star producer Hi-Tek (Talib Kweli, Common, 50 Cent)
For more information visit www.ourstage.com/go/vibe.
As you likely already know, OurStage is a music discovery platform serving all sorts of great musical artists. Sometimes, though, there are bands that people should know about but, for whatever reason, don’t. Here are five awesome metal bands to put on your radar. They’re not OurStage bands (yet) but could very well be future superstars.
If there’s a benefit to touring 245 days out of the year, living in a van with your two bandmates for most of that time and staying in a remote cabin with the same two bandmates for the remaining 120 days, then that benefit can be heard on Vs. Wilderness by Finn Riggins. The Idaho trio purvey rangy, lo-fi, quirky pop marked by odd time signatures and mercurial arrangements. On “Dali,” instruments sound as if they’ve been run through Fischer-Price speakers, with the low, cool vocals of singer Lisa Simpson applied to smooth the grit. It’s a playful tune, but Finn Riggins are multiple-trick ponies. “Blackrock” is anti-pop — atonal and dark — while “A Whale, A Fish,” is a shimmering, haunting, seaside elegy. And while the band’s good at ambitious, beautiful songcraft, they’re excellent at spastic melodies. So put on “Wake (Keep This Town Alive)” and let the frayed guitars and hyperkinetic drums lure you into the wild.
Video games, superheroes and infectiously catchy power pop are the fuel behind Chicago’s I Fight Dragons journey from obscurity to the national spotlight as this week’s Needle in the Haystack featured artist. Armed with Game Boys and guitars, the group spearheaded their way into the OurStage and CMJ charts this past summer with tracks off their stellar Cool Is Just a Number EP. However, the band isn’t just a treat for the ears — they’ve earned quite the local rep for their live show playing old school video game controllers, like the beloved Nintendo powerglove, alongside traditional tools of the trade. After a recent signing to Photo Finish Records, the Nintedo-crazed six piece is gearing up to share the bill with 3OH!3, Cobra Starship, and Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes on the Too Fast For Love Tour starting in April. Give a listen to this week’s free track, “Heads Up, Hearts Down” and see what all the buzz is about for yourself. Keep your eyes peeled to OurStage and the MTV Music blog to get better acquainted with the I Fight Dragons crew.
To wrap up this weeks Needle in the Haystack with the Shotgun Crackers, we have a quick video interview with the band. The Swedish rockstars took time out of their busy tour schedule to answer a few questions. Take a look at the video below!
Among the hundreds of new acts getting exposure at SXSW, some artists stand apart from the crowd as having more showcase experience. Tigercity, long standing veterans of SXSW, are back for more festival action this year. As Brooklyn underground rockers, the band could be mistaken for a cliché group of hipsters attempting to make music in NY. However, Tigercity maintains an electric pop tendency entirely unironic and an honest sound reminiscent of The Police and Talking Heads.
Formed in Northampton, MA in 2004, Tigercity has been on a roll. They’ve been touring nonstop, garnering over 11,000 MySpace friends and being named an “Artist to Watch” by Rolling Stone. Now living in New York with successful shows up and down the east coast, the band is eager to bring their sound out west yet again. This year’s showcase marks Tigercity’s fourth year at SXSW and the band is gearing up for more fun than ever.
Bill Gillim of Tigercity caught up with OurStage to talk about his dreams, BBQ and Tigercity’s plans for SXSW.

“Spurs of the Moment” is your up-to-date source for all happenings in the country music community. Make sure to check in bi-weekly to see just what’s going on with your favorite country singers and stars!
This week has been a big week for country music. The Academy of Country Music Award nominees were announced on The Early Show on Tuesday by Reba McIntire and Blake Shelton. The leaders of the pack include some names you were fully expecting— Taylor Swift (ehem), Carrie Underwood and Lady Antebellum. But Miranda Lambert and The Zac Brown Band snuck up on viewers as 2 of the top contenders, with six and four nominations respectively. This year will be a big year for the ACM’s, and with Kenny Chesney only releasing his last record over a year ago, the male category awards are a toss up. Personally, it would be great to see nominee Darius Rucker walk away with Male Vocalist of the Year considering the album and singles he’s released in the last ACM calendar year. However, I have to admit, some categories are pretty predictable if you look at other award show wins. For example, I don’t think there’s much question about who’s going to nab Entertainer of the Year or Album of the Year. If you’ve paid any attention to country music for the past 2 years, you know as well as I do that Taylor Swift has those awards on lockdown, and good for her. I do wonder how many mantels she’ll need to display her awards after the year she’s had, but what’s a couple more from the 2010 ACM’s?
A day has come that few country fans looked forward to. We all knew it was coming, but without a definite end in sight, I think country lovers half-hoped that Brooks & Dunn were only kidding about hanging up their hats in 2010. But, as of August 10, 2010, there will never be another Brooks & Dunn performance to look forward to. The concert, taking place in Nashville, will occur one year after Kix and Ronnie’s announcement that they were parting ways. As much of a loss as this is to country music, the appreciation and love for Brooks & Dunn in the hearts and radios of country listeners will hopefully go on forever.
Jessica Harp, former member of The Wreckers with Michelle Branch, is “leaving the pieces” of her singing career behind, according to a letter posted on her Web site. Harp, who has released two singles since leaving The Wreckers, says that songwriting is her new focus. The lyrical content and emotion of the songs Harp has been a part of indicate that writing is truly where her talent lies, so she deserves the best of luck in this new adventure. Hopefully, “things are sweeter in Tennessee” for Jessica as a songwriter.
Stay tuned for more news and events that are inevitably going to be grabbing headlines, courtesy of our favorite country superstars!
Last week, we took a look at singer/songwriter Kelsey Wild’s highly-anticipated debut at SXSW, the famous Austin-based festival where artists from around the globe converge for a “Texas-sized” week of music and media. Since 1987, a lot of deserving, indie acts such as Wild have been given the chance to show industry players what they’ve got as well as build their fanbase. Another deserving group making the trek this year is Denver’s A Shoreline Dream.
A Shoreline Dream has been making their own success for years now. Formed in 2005, the group created their own label and released albums on their own dime. This melodipsych/post rock band is now set to take SXSW by storm, combining thick textures with synths and dreamlike dynamics. With a new bassist, a killer producer and more steam than ever, A Shoreline Dream is ready to rock it.
OurStage caught up with guitarist Ryan Policky to talk about the festival, his previous performances there and the band’s plans to get loud. | <urn:uuid:42a0dd27-6e63-428a-9376-8cf929bfe9e4> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.ourstage.com/blog?page=500 | 2013-05-24T09:12:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950099 | 2,225 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

San Francisco is known for many things: a place where you can enjoy the best parks, satisfy your hunger for culture, find the best in food and entertainment, and so on. What some may not know, though, is that you can also find the scariest attractions here.
Those who are all for the spirit of Halloween should visit San Francisco Bay Area to honor those who have passed away and have good fun with spooky activities.
Celebrate the day of the dead
The Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration will be held at the Gourmet Ghetto in Shattuck Avenue on Wednesday, November 2, 2011.
Community members will create an altar where they can put flowers and candles along with photos of their loved ones. They may also share stories about them. (more…)
“We are not an island on the campus — we are in the larger community in the city of Berkeley. All of the various partnerships that we have … are important in order for us to be good neighbors and citizens of the community,” said Lisa McNeilly (campus director of sustainability) in The Daily Californian.
McNeilly’s belief is shared by many in UC Berkeley and the City of Berkeley. And to make something concrete and beneficial out of the relationship between the campus and the city, a succession of dialogues between them is currently taking place.
San Francisco Bay area is much loved by people with a strong sense of culture and passion for learning. One of its top attractions and greatest pride is the University of California, where both students and visitors can immensely enjoy an enlightening and stimulating experience. For sure, you will never run out of museums to visit here. So put your geek hat on and check out some of the museums around the area.
Up in the sky
To the young and old, those magnificent flying machines never fail to enchant. In the Oakland Aviation Museum “where West Coast aviation began”, flying fanatics can sit in the cockpit of an actual aircraft and have dinner at the Solent flying boat. Other than their regular tours, the museum also holds a speaker series where those who would like to go deeper into anything aviation can hear stories and get information from the best resource persons.
If you would like to go farther into the sky, you may visit the Cabot Space & Science Center. In it are Nellie, Rachel and Leah (three glorious telescopes) and the largest public telescope facility in the country. (more…)
Our humble suggestion is to welcome the coming month by indulging yourselves in nothing less than august music. Any casual or serious music fan will have something to appreciate in the concerts kicking off on the first week of August.
Foxtail Brigade, a San Francisco music collective headed by Laura Weinbach, will perform at the Botanical Garden on August 4 (Thursday). The heavenly venue matches the heavenly music this quartet creates. If you love the sound of strings (from the guitar to the violin to the upright bass) accompanying a delicate voice, this performance is not to be missed. (more…)
One way to test the quality of a playground or any space dedicated to children is when adults come to it and the child in them magically comes out. Luckily, in Berkeley, kids and their parents–the children and the children at heart–will not run out of places to visit when they would like to have fun together. West Berkeley has two of the most exciting playgrounds in the globe while Downtown Berkeley is home to an award-winning children’s museum. (more…)
The bay area is a diverse and interesting place, with no lack of amazing landmarks to go see. There’s way too many sights for us to list here, but here’s a few that you should definitely not miss on your next trip through the bay.
Part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Alcatraz Island is one of San Francisco’s (and California’s) most famous landmarks. Rich in history, Alcatraz is home to the famous prison that once housed the likes of Al Capone and George “Machine Gun” Kelly. Alcatraz also features a lighthouse and a historic U.S. military fort, plus one of the best views in the Bay Area–if it’s not foggy. Catch a ride on Alcatraz Cruises and learn all about the Rock’s famous residents.
You’ll also find rotating exhibits, including information on historic events such as the American Indian occupation of Alcatraz in the 1970s, fascinating military history, and stories about the island’s challenging living conditions. Audio tours are excellent.
Finals are coming up soon, which means the Spring school session is almost over! That makes it prime time to come out and enjoy the fantastic weather and great events that the bay area has to offer. Summer is a great time to visit Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, and of course San Francisco. Here’s a sampling of what you should be looking forward to this summer in the bay area:
Second Annual Berkeley Wine Festival
The Claremont will host the second annual Berkeley Wine Festival celebrating wines from California, Oregon, Italy and France beginning Friday, March 11, 2011. (more…)
Spring is upon us and the weather is changing. It’s a beautiful time to get outside and take in some fresh air and sunshine!
On your visit to Berkeley, why not take a trip down to Golden Gate Fields? This beautiful race track located right on the shore of the gorgeous SF bay is a great place to enjoy a bright bay area Spring day.
Afraid that it might be expensive? Fear not! Try checking out Golden Gate Fields during one of their fantastic Dollar Days. Easy on the wallet, fun and exciting for the whole family, and what a location!
It’s that time of year! Spring is upon us and that means that graduations are soon to come. Are you and your family prepared for this momentous event? Remember, as the dates get closer, the best lodgings are filling up around the Berkeley area. Make sure that you have your reservations in place!
But where should you stay? Good question! The first thought is to stay as close to the university as possible, but beware that you will be forced to pay a premium price. Traffic congestion and lack of parking can be a real problem. The savvy Berkeley visitor knows that the best places to stay are nearby but slightly outside of downtown Berkeley. Here you can get a real value on hotel accommodations and avoid some of the common troubles that come with staying right next to a bustling public university like UC Berkeley!
The east bay is just chock full of interesting and exciting things to see! Now that the stormy weather has passed (for now!) it’s time to get out into the city, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley… there are plenty of wild events coming up that you shouldn’t miss!
It’s easy to get around in the SF Bay Area. Ideally, you’ll want to stay in the East Bay (rates are much more affordable and hey, East Bay has Berkeley!) and use the BART/Muni to travel around between all your destinations. This is a great way to save money and still take in all the excitement that the bay area has to offer. | <urn:uuid:fda0099f-b291-462a-b52c-c3b11bfa69af> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.sfbaylodgings.com/wordpress/?cat=4 | 2013-05-24T09:12:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95367 | 1,517 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

When one retail worker speaks out and takes public action against unfair scheduling practices, it’s a media story. When his coworkers stand with him and speak with one voice, they’ve got a union, and that’s the best way to make real change.
Anthony Hardwick, a retail worker at a North Omaha Target store, has drawn headlines by petitioning his employer to return to traditional opening hours on Black Friday instead of pushing up the opening to Thanksgiving Day. Across the country, thousands of retail workers at stores like Target and Walmart are facing a Black Friday work schedule that leaves them with no time to sit down for Thanksgiving dinner with their families.
Scheduling issues are consistently a top concern for retail workers. Many workers want more hours and a consistent, full-time schedule they can count on to support their families. But there’s a double-edged sword for workers who put in long hours and forego family time over the holiday weekend: instead of seeing a reward for their hard work and loyalty in their paychecks, many will see their hours cut back in the days following the holiday so retailers can avoid paying overtime.
Even though their on-the-job conditions are often overlooked, retail workers are the backbone of our service economy. Millions of Americans work these jobs, and retail is one of the only sectors of our economy that is growing. Retail jobs are going to define how it is to live and work in America the way that manufacturing jobs once did. It is vital that retail jobs are secure, full-time jobs that pay the bills and allow people to live a middle class life.
That’s why it matters for all of us when Anthony Hardwick has no voice to make holiday scheduling work for his family or demand fair compensation for working on a holiday. Americans know the way Anthony and his co-workers are being treated is unfair and wrong; over 175,000 people have signed a petition in support of Anthony. But for real change, Anthony’s concerns over scheduling and holiday pay need to be heard by his managers. The best way that retail workers can have a say over holiday scheduling is by sticking together in a union and negotiating for those changes directly from their employer.
The UFCW and the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Council of the UFCW represent workers at grocery stores, but also at stores like Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Modell’s and H&M. Union retail workers earn premium pay for work on holidays. Their union contract guides fair scheduling. In these stores, many workers choose to take holiday shifts that might pay time-and-a-half or double-time union wages; as opposed to workers at stores like Target or Walmart who often work holiday shifts out of fear of losing their jobs and may not earn premium pay for these grueling shifts.
We all make compromises with our time over the busy holiday season. Sometimes it is traveling to see the in-laws. Other times it is working long hours over Thanksgiving weekend so that we can provide a magical Christmas morning for our children. When retail workers are given a voice in holiday scheduling, they can respect the needs of their families; whether that need is a loved one’s presence at home or the need to earn additional income over the holidays.
Respect for the retail workers who are the heart of events like Black Friday means fair compensation for holiday hours and a voice in scheduling. When we support workers coming together to make positive changes in the workplace, we all win. | <urn:uuid:342f39c2-24a1-46e7-a37d-fd2f69163a6d> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.ufcw.org/2011/11/ | 2013-05-24T09:31:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704433753/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114033-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965126 | 721 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

There was once a time when the infamous doll Chucky was a scary horror icon. I remember growing up fearing the doll was hiding under my bed; ready to strike at any moment. Times have changed and obviously so have the movies. It was obvious in the third film that the doll was losing its scare-factor and with its lack of box office $$ it was once thought to be the final installment in the series.
Seven years later the doll returned, but this time with a Bride and a new twist in the same-old story. In Bride of Chucky writer Don Mancini and director Ronny Yu went towards a more comedic route and spoofed not only itself, but a number of the horror films. I personally thought the new twist in the series was an interesting and fairly enjoyable one.
The film ended with a cliffhanger after Tiffany (Chucky's "bride") gave birth to what seemed to be some sort of sharp-toothed little doll-creature. It was obviously apparent from that silly ending that another sequel was on the way. Thus, Seed of Chucky was (inserts witty pun here) "born" (bwaahahahaha!) six-years later. In this film writer Don Mancini goes behind the camera to direct his first feature film.
The movie obviously attempted to bring back the spoofing humor that Bride had, but with even more comedic undertones. Hell, it even spoofed actress Jennifer Tilly, who does the voice of Chucky's bride Tiffany. I figured that since I enjoyed Bride that I would also enjoy this movie -- wrong. This movie not only seemed to be thrown together with little talent behind it, but most of the spoofs ended up being total flops. Sure there were some funny moments, but I think it was an overall disappointment.
The look of "Glen" or "Glenda" which is the gender-confused offspring of the two murderous dolls is shown early in the film; and what an odd-looking doll it is. It looked like it was taken straight from an 80's rock video. So let’s go over the "story" and how Chucky once again returns from the dead. In this movie the offspring "grows up" as an attraction in a traveling ventriloquist act. The doll knows nothing of its parents until one day it watches the news and notices a report on the notorious chucky doll and spots a "made in Japan" marking in the footage.
The marking also happens to be on the offspring, so naturally it means they're related right? Well anyway, Chucky and Tiffany are both rebuilt as model-replicates of the old look of the dolls from Bride. Apparently Hollywood (of course) is making a movie about the two killer dolls. The kid somehow makes its way to Hollywood and onto the set of the film and resurrects the two dolls using his old pendant that was the only token from his parents. *yawn*.
It really seems as though writer Don Mancini threw this script together in 10 minutes, because it's as though there's no actual thought process behind it what-so-ever. Aside from the gore; some funny scenes; and a gratuitous amount of cleavage from actress Jennifer Tilly; the movie really isn't very good. I really hope this is the last installment in the series, because I honestly don't think there's any more killing left in Chucky. R.I.P. Chuckster -- I'll always remember those late nights laying wide awake, hoping you'd never find a way into my room.
Fans of the series will seriously be disappointed in this. I personally thought Bride was a better and more entertaining film. Worth a check if you're into Chucky, but don't expect much at all.

Where can I find statistics about education and career attainment for individuals with disabilities?
Research has shown that people with disabilities achieve at lower levels in education and employment when compared to their peers without disabilities. Below are some sources that have compiled some of these statistics.
- Disability Statistics provides disability related statistics from data collected in the United States.
- Disability Statistics Center provides information on the demographics and status of people with disabilities in the United States. They focus on reporting data relevant to the changes over time in employment, access to technology, health care, community-based services, and other aspects of independent living and participation in society.
- Census Bureau Disability Website reports disability related data taken from the Census2000 statistics and annual statistics on prevalence, demographics, employment and earnings.
- Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides data, statistics and research on disability related issues.
- Social Security Administration (SSA) is a source for statistics concerning Social Security disability-related programs.
International disability statistics are also available. Some of the sources for this data include:
- United Nations Statistics Division - Disability Statistics provides a statistical reference and guide to national sources of disability, basic disability prevalence rates, and questions used in each national survey to identify persons with disabilities.
- Global Applied Disability Research and Information Network on Employment and Training (GLADNET) is a source of cross-national summaries and research on disability statistics and employment.
- Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) provides a review of sources of health and disability data.

The August 2010 issue of Wired magazine has an article called #ATTFAIL Inside the iPhone Network Meltdown and it's a fantastic read. Unfortunately it's not online (yet) so you'll have to venture outdoors and purchase some good old fashioned atoms to read it.
The article is filled with insights on how AT&T failed so spectacularly after the launch of the iPhone. Not surprisingly, it was largely due to the unfettered Internet access granted to millions of iPhone users who consumed bandwidth with reckless abandon. But to hear AT&T tell it, it's just as much Apple's fault.
Wired compared it to a loveless celebrity marriage, but it's more of a tragic love story. Apple and AT&T fell in love and quickly got hitched. Then after the honeymoon was over they started noticing each other's faults. Apple was staunch and unwilling to restrict the iPhone's Internet access, AT&T couldn't build its network out fast enough to accomodate them. Then came the finger pointing. But the two couldn't divorce, for the the sake of the kids. So they ended up tolerating each other, for the time being.
It's filled with fun anecdotes too, like early on when an AT&T representative suggested to one of Jobs' deputies that the Apple CEO wear a suit to meet with the AT&T board, he was told "We're Apple. We don't wear suits. We don't even own suits."
One of the iPhone's problems was that Apple had chosen to source the radio from Infineon, whose hardware was used widely in Europe but rarely in the US, where cell towers are placed farther apart and reception was therefore less forgiving. AT&T would say "Let's resolve these issues together" and Apple would say "No, you resolve them. They're not our problem. They're your problem."
One Apple source told Wired that Jobs has discussed dropping AT&T at least a half a dozen times. Despite the problems, the iPhone's meteoric rise to stardom has helped both companies. It represents over $13B in annual revenue for Apple, the company's profit has doubled since 2007 and its stock price has nearly tripled since the end of 2006. Since early 2007 AT&T's wireless revenue is up 43 percent, profit is up roughly 200 percent and subscribers have grown 40 percent.
On the two-year tethering impasse: Apple wanted it included in the data plan, AT&T wanted to charge extra.
Apple also heavily considered switching to Verizon numerous times. Around the end of 2007, at Jobs' behest, Apple engineers (including Scott Forstall) visited the headquarters of Qualcomm - the primary supplier of the chips in Verizon's phones. It concluded that switching to Verizon would be too complicated and expensive because the chips were different sizes and would necessitate rebuilding the iPhone from scratch. Apple also wasn't convinced that Verizon's network would fare much better and let's not forget the nasty lawsuit that voiding its exclusive pact with AT&T would invite.
But there's hope yet. According to the article Qualcomm began working with Apple on a chip that could allow the iPhone to work on both the AT&T and Verizon networks. WSJ has reported that a Verizon iPhone could debut in the fall, while Bloomberg says that it'll happen in January 2011. For many a Verizon iPhone can't come soon enough.
Why can't Apple release the iPhone to all mobile carriers? Wouldn't that help it achieve the global dominance it desires?
When iPhone eventually jumps carriers, will you switch from AT&T? Will the Verizon network fare any better?

As an Angry Birds fan, I am doubly happy to feature these cute creations from La Popshop, a baker located in Montreal. I put her on my local watch list.
We are behind when it comes to creative bakers in Montreal. This fact troubled me even more since I became a mom. I would need access to talented suppliers with flair to celebrate in style my son’s birthdays. Plus, it does not help matters that many bakers lack a proper online presence. It is sad because all they need to do would be to start a blog and to keep a Facebook page plus a Twitter account.
If you are interested, her cake pops start at $30 for a dozen of classic cake pops and at $35 for a dozen deluxe cake pops. The Angry Birds are a deluxe version.

I’m an Essie girl, but I’m dying to try the Nicki Minaj for OPI line launching January 2012. I found out about Nicki’s new beauty venture while reading The Sophisicated Society of Belles and Gents this morning. (BTW, have you noticed that Nicki is building quite the beauty resume. She recently signed on as MAC’s newest spokesperson for the Viva Glam campaign.)
The line is adorable and includes a pink lacquer named Pink Friday, a green color dubbed Did it On Em, a blue polish is known as Fly, a glitter lacquer named Save Me and last but not least the violet is called Super Base Shatter, because its a crackle nail lacquer. This collection is to cute for words! | <urn:uuid:5abb06a4-3245-4751-ac99-0f414610fef9> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://beyondblackbeauty.com/2011/12/21/nicki-minaj-for-opi/ | 2013-06-18T23:19:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368707436332/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516123036-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956179 | 164 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Felger and Massarotti were joined by Boston Bruins President Cam Neely to talk about the Bruin recent run in the past month.
What has changed this past month for the Bruins? Can you judge this Bruins team by their performance against the Red Wings?
The guys went on to discuss the shoot-out. Is Cam a fan of the shoot-out? What kind of thought goes into choosing your shoot-out shooters?
How much has the play of Chris Kelly impressed Neely?
It turns out that Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller does not have a concussion from his collision with Milan Lucic. What does Cam think of this interesting development? Did the NHL get the Pacioretty ruling correct? How has Brenden Shannahan done so far?
