My daughter submit her life to God
My 17 year old (Madisen) has rejected her faithful Christian upbringing, opting for an open minded worldly view of life, gender, and faith. She has told us she is gay but would date a boy. She is celibate and is deathly afraid of intimacy and abandonment. She has Asperger's Syndrome, an autistic spectrum disorder, which makes navigating the social landscape difficult to begin with. A boy at school whom sheadmires and adores has admitted he has feelings for her. She admitted she has feelings for him too. He is a Christian boy and knows everything about her. They have been good friends for a while.I believe they discussed pursing dating. At first sh e was giddy, an very joyful. Then one day she began feeling scared and tormented by thoughts that she was going to get hurt or hurt him. She is convinced that the closer someone gets to her the more she wants to push them away. She calls it. 'Splitting'. She believes she intentionally hurts those she cares about and puts them through an emotional roller coaster of the more I want you the more I can't stand you.. So, she ended the relationship before it could ever begin. I believe this boy was put in my dtr's life to challenge her beliefs and doubt. Please pray with us that this boy (Jackson is his name) not rely on his own understanding but would seek God for the answer about what to do next. Madisen was prophesied over as a baby that she would lead many to Christ through her song and her voice. She loved the Lord genuinely as a child but became disillusioned with God's people as she grew uo. Her Asperger's I had given he a very black and white, all or nothing outlook of the world. So we know Christian's aren't perfect. We have bsent praying that God would arrest her as He did Saul on the road. And then this happened. Thank you for this opportunity ask others to pray.Donna - Chesapeake 2017-04-12 19:14:54 0 Replies
A Third tumor, surgery, laid off, family far removed, offended at church!
I am a 42.5 yr old, divorced, disabled veteran. I was outed by my sister September 25, 2000, and my life as I once knew it was over. I was five months out of the military, after 5 years of honorable service. Fast forward about 17 years, I am broken, alone, alienated by my family, laid off, and about to have a third tumor from my left hip. I left Baptist 3.5 years ago for Missionary Baptist and I love the anointing and the platform of our Presiding Prelate. I am the odd man out because of my lifestyle choice.
I am not out or flamboyant. I was a member of the choir, even tried to serve in other capacities; yet I continued to find myself on the defensive. A personality conflict with the male Minister of Music, a Prophetic First Lady, a choir member who came from another church, etc. The most disrespectful moment was Marriage Talk sunday, when a couple on the panel shared that a man was trying to interfere with their marriage. As I listened further, the context contained church and choir. Add the date, March 6, 2016, and the fact that my eldest aunt passed; it took a lot to get over that issue.
I have a third Large Osteochondroma of the Left Iliac crest (Growth plate). Two bone grafts for surgeries(1998&1999), two previous surgeries (December 16, 2016)(November 12, 2015); this will be the 5th procedure on my hip! I am facing homelessness again, with a $3245 eviction debt and $1225 electric bill. I require 6 weeks to recover, need a place for at home nursing care, home based physical therapy and occupational therapy. Please cover me in prayer.David C Mayo - Newport News 2017-02-12 21:18:59 1 Replies

Hi I need prayer for forgiveness and for me to receive the Holy Spirit fully into my life. I've been feeling depressed and lost. To Jesus restore my relationship with my sister Bruna, asking for her forgiveness and break her silence towards me amen. She just won't talk to me. Please let the Lord open up her lips and talk to me so I can have peace. I need the Lord to break her silence. Everyone deserves a second chance or what's the point of forgiveness? She's making of my life like Hell. She called me names and threw her car at me. She's just angry and that's exactly what the devil wants. Cause he knows she's my only family and wants me to live on my own all my life with no sister and no one. I just can't sleep have no peace in reason of her silence. I don't understand. I feel pain in my heart all the time missing her. I want to see her talking to me so we can work it out as adults. The whole church and the pastors want me to leave the church so it will cover up the sin we both committed together. Even tonight the pastor humiliated me in front of the whole church saying if someone's sitting by the stairs or leave the church or get inside. But when others do it they don't say anything. They're just picking on me, hate me worried about the church's image reputation while they stick up for her and bless her. They don't even get the anointing oil in my head but to others they do it. They're not acting like 1conrinthians13 at all. They are horrible people. They make me feel angry when they won't allow me talking to her and treat me badly on purpose to make me look for another church so at the end of each worship I don't feel I've received anything good from god because they treat me bad and treat Bruna like an angel. I feel something really bad when I get home like if they're cursing me. And I'm worried they made Bruna's mind to report me to the police. She said she did it but I don't know. Help me pray she didn't do that please. Help please. All I do is cry why are they doing this to me. Pray to god to protect her and release her form a man who's getting her out of the church and the presence of the holy spirit a boyfriend please. She's hit her car because she's commit a sin inside her can with this man. Jesus already told her that but she won't listen. The devil is just anxious to kill her in that car. And help me pray for Bruna to have real friends in her life, after her "best friend" the music minister found out about her sin she's got cold and turned her back on Bruna's, so let's pray shell have real blessed friendships cause not even Jesus did that to her why a human think she should be acting like this towards Bruna. And tonight her step dad threatened me showing his gun. He is crazy his sister is a witch. Please do not pray for me mostly some people are writing to me saying they're focusing their prayer on me. Pray for Bruna more please. She needs it more. It's her the one who won't forgive and doing horrible things against me. Amen. God bless u all.

Also id like to ask you all to pray for her to come into her senses in the sexual area, she needs protection in this area so badly, im worried about her. she just goes out with any boy.she keepseven inside the church looking for attention from boys,even men in relationships,and the single ones she gets their focus out of the word of god when theyr preaching in the church and thats wrong cause she needs to focus on getting attention from god and not men. shes an atttention seeker. ask the lord to keep her more than anything please.its too hard worrying about someone who wont let u help them anymore ;( i do not want her to make the same mistakes in relationships again cause thats the reason they dont allow her to play in the church anymore. and she wants to go back at playing in the church. and i also pray to god she will cause thats her life and the reason why she cant forgive me i suppose.please do not pray if not going to ask god to rebuild my friendship,cause that friendship its my hearts desire. really.

I need deliverance
I'm a single mother of four boys. I was raised in the church as both my parents are preachers. However I lived a life of secrets, lies, pornography, mental illness and so fourth. I really want to be saved but can't seem to stop doing negative things. I know if I give my life to God things will be better. I just can't stay saved. I know God wants better life for me and my children whom my parent have custody of. It also seems that out of no where I've been meeting people who don't believe in God and therefore I often become afraid to say I do, but then again I'm afraid of everything. So today my hr office sent me an email about something that unbeknownst to them-I lied about. Lord knows I need my job however while I was sitting down thinking the spirit said to me, don't worry just fast for three days. Now I know I'm a sinner so maybe this was all in my head but for some reason I'm just not worried. Something is actually showing me someone at my job fishing for something but at the same time I see that person leaving the job and leaving me alone. I wish these things could be true but I'm such a liar and loser that God can't use me. Please pray that I get saved, find a church, find a saved husband and friends. Please pray that i keep my job as well. Thank you.Tiffany - Brooklyn 2016-06-03 20:34:17 3 Replies

Consumers in Connecticut are joining more than 1,500 others across the nation who are complaining about an online retail business accused of bad business practices.
SaveMore.com is a Texas-based company that offered daily deals to its customers. The website is no longer accessible.
Theodore Bartkoski of Rocky Hill told the NBC Connecticut Troubleshooters he was looking for a birthday present for his girlfriend in late 2011 when he purchased a gift card from SaveMore.com.
But there was a problem. He said the gift card never arrived.
"I waited. Tried to call back. Couldn't get a response from anybody," Bartkoski said.
Christina Wall of New Britain purchased two gift cards at about the same time. She needed a Christmas present for a family member.
Wall's purchases from SaveMore.com did not arrive, either.
"We didn't have anything to give them at Christmas because we were waiting on these gift cards in the mail," Wall said.
SaveMore.com's Addision, Texas location appeared vacant and no one was around when NBC Connecticut sister station KXAS' cameras arrived.
The online retailer is facing 1,581 customer complaints with the Better Business Bureau. The Texas Attorney General has also received 126 complaints about SaveMore.com. Hundreds more complaints about the business can be found on consumer websites like Ripoff Report, Scambook, Complaints Board and Site Jabber.
Consumers complain about poor customer service, difficulty with refunds and problems cancelling accounts. There is also a Facebook page dedicated to customers who can't stand SaveMore.com.
According to BBB files, the owner of the company that manages SaveMore.com is Doug Van Arsdale, who runs Credit Solutions of America. The debt relief business has been sued by several states for failing to deliver on debt relief promises. Connecticut's attorney general is also looking into Credit Solutions of America, although the office declined to give details.
NBC Connecticut tried contacting SaveMore.com and Credit Solutions of America with no luck.
However, if you purchased something from SaveMore.com and never received it, your credit card company may be able to help you find relief. The BBB said a little research before handing over a credit card online can prevent these kinds of problems you are hearing about.
The Texas Attorney General wants to hear your complaint about SaveMore.com, even if you live in Connecticut.

Marla Wood--Managing director, Keshet Dance Company
Best Dance Company
Well, Keshet, of course!
Best Theatre Company
Tricklock—and not just because they are Keshet's sister company but because they are responsible for starting revolutions! Well, that and the fact that Joe Pesce is such a hottie.
Best Musical Experience That Makes It Really Difficult to Stand Still on Wednesday and Thursday Nights
500 Second Street. But there's a $5 cover and you should probably know something about drawing or painting from the figure.

Couldn't possibly choose.(But I do have some serious soft spots for Duvian, Jeffri, Jeremy and Dennis. Check them out at the above musical experience.)
Best Sculptor
Van Tate--KRQE-13 sportscaster, voice of Lobo football
Best Dessert
The German Chocolate Cake at Flying Star. It has to be the best in the world. I've had it several times and I still can't believe how good it tastes. It reminds me of the old Mary's Muffins that once was on Central across from UNM. When that place closed a lot of us felt like crying.
Best Thai Food
Thai Cuisine at Montaño and Coors. Once you taste #87 or #74 you will pack your belongings and try to move into the restaurant. The 87 is spicy ground chicken over rice. The 74 is a spicy fried rice with your choice of tofu or chicken. The lunch buffet left a brother speechless.
Chaz Malibu--Morning radio host, The New Hot 95.1 FM
Best Margarita
Garduño's. If you're looking for a flavored one, you have to try my personal favorite, the Coconut Margarita. Don't order a pitcher, just a glass (they're almost the same size anyway).
Best Female TV Personality
Diane Anderson. Not only is she damn good at what she does, she's also a hottie!
Best Place to Find Old School Music
Christy's Records and Tapes. Been around since I was a kid when I was looking for hard-to-find music.
Robin Brown--Senior, Monzano High School
Best Reason to Vote Bush in 2004
To piss off Don Schrader. Other than that, I can't think of a thing.
Best Radio Station
KUNM. Although its extreme variety is bound to be displeasing in some instances, it is the only radio station that plays anything quite original. Why, it's not even run by Clear Channel.
Best Place to Buy Used Music
Charlie's has loads of used CD's and vinyl, they play interesting music on the speakers, and the people are nice. Besides, they have ice cream. Natural Sound has a good selection, but anytime I go in there the people who work there kind of seem to growl.
Best Place to Rent Videos
Kristi Trujillo--Associate Manager at Buffalo Exchange/clothing fiend
Best Way to Spend a Monday Night
Head over to Atomic Cantina and see Heather and Suni host their pop quiz night. If you buy them shots, they might let you win.
The Best Way to Spend the Day After You've Ditched Work/School
First, call a friend who drives a Vespa so that you guys have a mode of transportation on a nice, sunny day. Next have lunch at, let's say, El Patio. Get some margaritas on this hot afternoon and talk about how you want to start your own revolution.
Best Cure-All for Being Sick, Hung Over, Having Allergies, etc.
Go to Frontier and order hash browns with cheese, a side of tortillas, extra honey and get some stew from the pot. Make some mini burritos and you've got instant relief—don't forget the large water.
Mele Martinez--Manager, The National Conservatory of Flamenco Arts
Best Local Hero
Eva Encinias-Sandoval for her incredible work providing and educating the community in our flamenco heritage.

Worst Legislation Proposed in 2004 Session
"Dooby's Law" which would have made it easier to hire cops with a history of marijuana use.
Martin Heinrich and Julie Hicks—Rookie City Councilor, Web Designer
Best Day Trip
One of the best, yet least known, day trips from Albuquerque is the Ojito Wilderness Study Area. Less than an hour from Albuquerque and closer than the Jemez Mountains, Ojito is the perfect place to explore on a weekend outing. You won't find babbling mountain brooks here, just New Mexico desert at its best. Parched, yet sublime landscapes made up of broken mesas and undulating badlands capped with twisted and ancient junipers that may predate the arrival of the Spanish. Ojito is truly unlike any other place we know and it keeps us coming back. Combining elements of the Bisti badlands with Santa Fe skies, Abique fossils, and southern Utah redrock, this is a place more than worth the short drive from Albuquerque.
Best Ethnic Supermarket
Dede Feldman—State senator from the North Valley
Best Community Action Group
You gotta realize that I'm partial to the North Valley, having vowed long ago never to go east of San Mateo. I'm so proud of the fighting spirit of Sawmill Advisory Council and later the Sawmill Land Trust that I'm beaming at their success. Also, the folks at the Rio Grande Community Farms who are trying to introduce urban kids to traditional valley agriculture on the old Anderson Fields are pretty cool, too. Common Cause, PIRG and the American Cancer Society are friends in the legislative arena.
Best Local Heros
Carla Aragon--KOB-TV Eyewitness News 4 anchorwoman
Best Salsa
505. I'm addicted to this stuff. It's so good, you don't even need the chips! Just drink it!
Best Bargain Store
Big Lots. It's like a treasure hunt ... and best of all, you can walk away from the place with a bag full of goodies for under $20.
Kenn Rodriguez--Philologist
What do I love about Albuquerque? Well, first the sky. That's the number one thing visiting poets comment on—some have said that it seems endless. I tell them it is. No one has ever argued.
Arcie Chapa--Host, KUNM Call-in Show
Best Place To Take Kids Out For A Stroll
Farmer's Markets. My kids get good exercise, they get to meet the folks that grow the food they eat, and I get to support local farmers who provide the freshest produce in town. Arts and crafts add to the colorful experience.
Best Place To Take Kids Out For A Hike
Rio Grande Nature Center. I get good exercise, my kids get to see the resident ducks and turtles, and point out the migratory visitors (we saw sandhill cranes earlier this year). The view of the Sandia Mountains is spectacular.
Best Venue in Which to Hear Live Music With The Kids
Kate Garduño--Librarian
Best Day Trip
El Malpais—It's just far enough to make you feel like you've gone somewhere, but it's still an easy day trip. There's amazing stuff to see, and it's a real kick to just wander around for hours. Also, my dog threw up an apple there. Yup.
Best Place To Get A Chocolate Fix
Dan Solis--Veteran Slam Poet
Best Local Politician to Go Bar Hopping With
It's gotta be Manny Aragon. I imagine Manny would have the hookup wherever we went, no waiting for a table. Hell, we probably wouldn't even have to pay for a drink in most places. He's sure to know and tell stories about New Mexico politics and politicians that would never even be hinted at by the press. And if we did have to pay, hopefully he would pick up the tab cause he would be loaded with dough from all, the, uh 'political gifts' he has received over the years.
Best Reason To Vote Bush in 2004
If you're rich, white and you love sexist, racist, homophobic, hypocritical, avaricious, moronic, liars and murderers.
Soobin Hur--Alibi intern and Korean exchange student, Menaul School
Best Bowling Alley
Leisure Bowl. This place is about more than just bowling. If you're planning a birthday party for your kid, Leisure Bowl offers pop-up Bumper Bowling on every lane. They will even supply the invitations! For adults, they also have drinks and karaoke.
Best Radio Station
88.3 FM. Compared to 90.5 FM, this Christian Rock music station has more information about Christian concert dates and new Christian CDs. It also offers a good variety of Christian music 24 hours a day.
Best Korean Restaurant
Yen Ching. Yen Ching serves both Chinese and Korean food. They have an excellent daily lunch buffet from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. You can try all kinds of authentic Korean dishes here. Some famous Korean dishes are Bul Gal Bi (barbecue rib), Bul Go Ki (barbecued beef), Dae Ji Bul Go Ki (barbecued pork), Dak Bul Go Gi (barbecued chicken) and Gob Chang Gui (barbecued marinated tripe). They also have a delicious Japanese sushi bar.
Laura A. Smigielski--Marketing Solutions
Best City Political Stinkeroo
Sally Mayer squashing the green cone art scheduled for the new I-40 Louisiana Interchange. She missed the public meeting when her constituents spoke in favor of it, sneaks it into a City Council meeting around the City Arts Board and made sure it was vetoed soundly. Now she's trying to appoint herself to the Arts Board—if that happens we'll probably end up with a giant cowboy boot as an Uptown landmark.
Amy Johnson--Indian Pueblo Cultural Center
Best Cultural Bargain
Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. That's right kids, there are 19 pueblos in our beautiful state. Can't make it out to each pueblo for Feast Day dances? This place has free traditional dances every weekend. Check it out.
Best Place to Fall in Love with New Mexico All Over Again
Chaco Canyon, a.k.a. Chaco Culture National Historical Park. Sure the last 20 or so miles to get there are marked by washboard dirt road madness, but once you catch site of Fajada Butte ... ah. A place not to be missed.
John Traub--Albuquerque Isotopes General Manager

Martin J. Chavez--Mayor
There's a lot to like about Albuquerque, from our fabulous weather and scenic vistas to our friendly, multicultural atmosphere and terrific cuisine. From our visual and performance arts communities to our historic and contemporary neighborhoods, our recreational opportunities and special events, Albuquerque is truly unique and I am always proud to be part of it. One area where I have been getting a lot of positive feedback lately, in the Biopark: our Rio Grande Zoo, Botanic Gardens and Aquarium. I went with my family last weekend, and the facilities continue to be clean, user-friendly and fascinating. This is a great set of amenities with a lot of new attractions, so it's no wonder the Biopark is the state's number one attraction.
BOB: Night Life
Gone (forever, we hope) are the days when whiners can complain that there's nothing to do in Albuquerque after dark. As you're about to discover, there's more than enough nightlife to go around in this city—from live music and dancing to fine dining and drinking, you can't swing a dead cat in Albuquerque without hitting something fun to do with your leisure time. Furthermore, Weekly Alibi's very own Arts, Naked City (live music and entertainment) and Community and Events calendars are jam-packed with great stuff to do every day of every week. If you're not satisfied with your social life, it's only because you're not willing to miss an episode of "Cops" every now and then. We hope our readers' choices in the following categories will inspire you to have fun, relax, make new friends and become part of our vibrant community.
BOB: Intro
Best of Burque 2004
Every year, our Best of Burque issue is built on some crazy theme. In the early days, this practice proved to be a lot of fun. But in recent years, our thematic presentations have become, well, progressively more clichéd and downright cheesy. Take last year, for instance: What the hell did pirates have to do with Albuquerque in any way, shape or form, past or present? Similarly, this year we've packaged our Best of Burque issue in an undersea treasure/adventure theme. Someone apparently forgot to tell the Marketing Department there's no water here. So as I sat down to scribe this introduction to our most gargantuan issue of the year, I found myself having a hard time separating the pirate and undersea treasure themes. I did the best I could, but forgive me for occasionally straying into pirate mode. Here goes:
BOB: Consumption
If there's one thing we've figured out about Burqueños, it's that we like to stockpile our crap. And lots of it. Whether it's a backyard collection of rust-eaten Buicks or the latest gadget from Williams and Sonoma, the cult of objects is as New Mexican as a plate of huevos on Sunday morning. You can see it for yourself, too. Every weekend we spill out from our homes, money in hand, on a mission from God to scour the desert for the best deal, the biggest piece or the rarest find. Sometimes we actually find it and, miraculously, it's just a few bucks less than we expected to pay. But even if we come away empty handed, it's that satisfaction of a full-day's hunt that sends us blissfully to bed, where we dream again of acquiring junk. Blessed, beautiful junk.
BOB: Eats and Drinks
First, an explanation. While you will find, within these pages, information that will help you locate the best micro-brew/Celtic music experience or to scout locations for your Vietnamese-language remake of The Godfather, we want to remind you that we're saving the best for later. Later this year, that is, when the annual Readers' Choice Restaurant Poll hits the stands with hundreds and hundreds of ooey-gooey, scrum-diddly-umptious restaurants that have been tried and tested by our readers. So consider the "Eats and Drinks" section of our Best of Burque poll to be a mere appetizer for the very big meal to come in October.
BOB: Featured Night Life
Best Waiter/Waitress for a One-Night Stand
Uh, congratulations to Amanda, Rory at Applebee's and Virginia at the Ranchers' Club. Remember ... safety first.
BOB: Life in Burque
The people, places and sights in Albuquerque make our fair city one of the finest places to live regardless of the studies that paint a gloomy picture. Just recap the past 12 months and there's plenty to cheer about. Downtown continues its revival, the media didn't uncover a single fundraising scam at the mayor's office, the Isotopes brought baseball back with a bang, Tingely Beach is finally getting a makeover and the arts are thriving like never before. And that's only a quick sample. But there are always things to gripe about and we like to do that too once in a while. So here's this year's Life in Burque winners (and losers), so one way or another, we can all feel better about ourselves. Enjoy!
BOB: Featured Consumption
Best Video Store for Foreign Films
If by "foreign" you mean "arty" then by all means our winner is your one stop shop. But if you translate "foreign" as "Japanese science-fiction with lots of monsters and martial arts too" then newcomer Burning Paradise is where you should be paying late fees. For a wide selection of new releases (if nothing else) Hastings hits the spot.
BOB: Featured Eats and Drinks
Best Breakfast
Still winner and champ-een! For the buhzillionth year in a row, Frontier has smothered the competition like a goopy blanket of red chile and cheese. Thanks to the 'Tier, nothing says New Mexico like eating your breakfast at 11 p.m., surrounded by epic pastels of John Wayne's likeness and, apparently, people you're scared of or scaring. For those who actually eat breakfast in the a.m., there's Flying Star Café's turkey sausage and pristine pastries, or the unbeatable slabs of bacon and drool-inducing queso at The Range Cafés. You also report that the grub at Weck's gets you out of bed on your coveted weekend morning.
BOB: Arts
We live in a city that prides itself on its skin-searing quantum creative energy. Stand on almost any street corner—especially in neighborhoods like Downtown, Barelas and Nob Hill—swing your purse in a nice wide arc, and you'll more likely than not hit an artist, an actor or a musician squarely in the jaw.
BOB: Featured Arts
Best Public Sculpture
As long-time readers of the Alibi already know, Chevy on a Stick (a.k.a. "Cruising San Mateo I") always wins this category. It's some kind of law of nature. Yes, our city is filled with great and diverse pieces of monumental public art, but something about that delicious Chevy on a Stick, located at the corner of San Mateo and Gibson, perfectly symbolizes the thriving neon auto culture that has defined Albuquerque for the last 60-odd years.
BOB: Community Picks
Ambrosia Ortiz--UNM student
Best Movie Theater
Madstone. I have never been disappointed by a film experience there. Nice people, weird movies and alcohol. Who can beat that?
Best Coconut Drink
Annapurna on Yale. I have to stop myself from humming "Kokomo" every time.
Best Extinct Bookstore
Sisters and Brothers. We will miss you.
Best Looking Staff
Flying Star on Central. Damn!
Best Cheesecake
You would be surprised ... PF Chang! So Good! (In my best Teen Girl Squad voice.)
BOB: Featured Life in Burque
Best Local Politician to Go Bar Hopping With
The big guy wins this one for the second year in a row. Seriously, who wouldn't love to go bar hopping with the guv. He's gotta have a few good stories to tell. Mayor Chavez took second, and City Councilor Eric Griego and former city councilor turned Alibi columnist Greg Payne tied for fourth. To be fair Griego probably deserved one extra vote for the entry that said, "the guy who thinks he's funny," but the judges said no. Of course, Payne learned the virtues of sobriety the hard way, so perhaps folks thought he might be useful as a designated driver.

13 March 2008, Lisbon, Portugal - "The Path of Princes: Masterpieces of the Aga Khan Museum Collection" exhibition at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon was officially opened today by Emílio Rui Vilar, President of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Prince Amyn Aga Khan, who was representing his brother, His Highness the Aga Khan. Portugal's Minister of Culture, José António Pinto Ribeiro also attended the event. The exhibition comprises works of Islamic art, spanning over a thousand years of history, from the collection of the future Aga Khan Museum, due to open in 2011 in Toronto, Canada.
Comprising works of art in stone, wood, ivory and glass, metalwork, ceramics, rare works on paper and parchment, the items in the collection create an overview of the artistic accomplishments of Muslim civilisations from the Iberian Peninsula to China and from the 8th to the 18th centuries. The collection contains some of the world's most important masterpieces of Islamic art, including items from the collection of miniatures and manuscripts formed by the late Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan (uncle of His Highness the Aga Khan).
Speaking at the opening of the exhibition, Prince Amyn thanked the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum for their generosity in hosting the works of the Aga Khan Museum. "I hope this is the beginning of a long term collaboration between the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and the Gulbenkian Museum," he said. "Exhibitions such as this one play an important role in promoting understanding, respect and appreciation for different cultures and traditions," he said.
"Beyond the intrinsic value of this encounter between two significant art collections, the exhibition's symbolic value is of added importance at the present time for the role that institutions like the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture may take in furthering the understanding of diversity, a condition conducive to the opening of dialogue between peoples and cultures," said Emílio Rui Vilar, President of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
The exhibition is organised along two main themes: "The Word of God" and "The Power of the Sovereign". "The Word of God" presents Qur'ans from different periods of history, illustrating how the sacred text inspired works in both art and architecture. "The Power of the Sovereign" presents works of art from some of the major courts of Islamic history, ranging from precious gold and rock crystal objects produced for the Fatimids in the tenth and eleventh centuries to portraits of Ottoman Sultans and Qajar Shahs. It includes objects that illustrate medieval and early modern Islamic court life, ranging from education to statesmanship, through a series of scientific texts, books of fables, miniaturist paintings and drawings, albums of calligraphy, pen cases, stringed instruments, wood panels, tile ceramics and metalwork.
The exhibition is held under the patronage of His Highness the Aga Khan, founder and Chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), and His Excellency the President of the Republic of Portugal, Anibal Cavaco Silva. Previously exhibited in Parma, Italy, London, United Kingdom and in Paris, France, the Museum's collections are expected to be on show in several other European cities prior to the opening of the museum in Toronto.
The Aga Khan intends the museum to be a centre of education and learning dedicated to the presentation of Muslim arts and culture in all their historic, cultural and geographical diversity. It is one of three museum projects currently under development by the AKTC. The other two are the Museum of Historic Cairo, in Egypt, and the Indian Ocean Maritime Museum in Zanzibar.
The Museum of Historic Cairo is designed to give both Cairenes and foreigners insights into the cultural and architectural heritage of the Egyptian capital's historic area. The Museum will be complemented by exhibition spaces within the neighbouring 12th Century Ayyubid wall and within recently restored cultural buildings in the historic city, which visitors will be encouraged to discover as they leave the Museum.
The Indian Ocean Maritime Museum in Zanzibar is part of the Trust's long-standing revitalisation work in Zanzibar's Stone Town, which is a World Heritage Site. The Museum is dedicated to illustrating the exchange of goods, ideas and myths that took place between the diverse coastal civilisations of the Indian Ocean.
The museums are part of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture's wide range of activities aimed at the preservation and promotion of the material and spiritual heritage of Muslim societies. As the cultural agency of the Aga Khan Development Network, AKTC leverages cultural heritage as a means of supporting and catalysing development.

His Highness the Aga Khan is the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Ismaili Muslims and a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). A Harvard graduate in Islamic history, the Aga Khan succeeded his grandfather as Imam of the Ismailis in 1957. He is the founder and chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network.
The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) is a group of private, non-denominational development agencies working to empower communities and individuals to improve living conditions and opportunities, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East. The Network's nine development agencies focus on social, cultural and economic development for all citizens, regardless of gender, origin or religion.

Priorities: What Your Soundbreaking Contribution to Berklee Supports
No matter the amount, your contribution to Berklee's Soundbreaking campaign will make a major impact. Half of the campaign's target goal—or $50 million—will be allocated towards scholarship programs, enabling extraordinary musicians from all over the world to study at Berklee, where they will work to make their dreams come true. These scholarships are designed to attract and retain deserving students by reducing financial barriers and rewarding exceptional talent. Scholarship funds, as well as the other $50 million to be raised, will be distributed to address the campaign's three main priorities:
- Create a global laboratory for musical discovery and artistry. The journey toward the music of tomorrow begins here, fueled by creative collisions between brilliant faculty and talented students. Through our music institutes and online offerings, our growing global presence, and new facilities in Boston and Valencia, Spain, Berklee remains at the vanguard of music education.
- Promote the power of music to change people's lives for the better. We teach our students to use their artistry to inspire individuals and strengthen communities. Through initiatives such as Berklee City Music, Amp Up NYC, and PULSE, Berklee brings music instruction to urban schoolchildren; through our music therapy program, we promote the healing power of music.
- Transform the current model of higher education. Spiraling costs make higher education increasingly difficult for many talented young musicians; those who graduate often find themselves burdened with debt. Through a range of strategies—including scholarships, online education, and articulation agreements—Berklee is opening doors and toppling barriers.
The Berklee Fund, which provides essential financial support for student scholarships, faculty retention, procurement of equipment and technology, and performances and special events, is an important component of the Soundbreaking campaign. Donors who prefer giving to Berklee's annual fund can be assured that their gifts will be put to immediate use and that their contributions are instrumental in helping us reach our campaign goals. For more information about the Berklee Fund, contact Marissa Finer at 617-747-2450 or email@example.com.

The New York Times Undermines its Narrative
The New York Times has an odd story today on campaign finance on its front page. The story argues that organizations which do not have to identify their donors are sponsoring ads that criticize candidates for office. Complaints about secrecy notwithstanding, the third paragraph of the story discloses one of the major contributors to a group and reveals his putative interests in becoming involved. It also goes into great detail about the donor, his political associates, and even meetings his associates attended and what decisions were made therein. Later parts of the story recount the already disclosed names of supporters of Karl Rove's efforts in this cycle. True, the story does not reveal everything the reporters believe should be disclosed about donors. But the groups and their donors are hardly secret given what is revealed in the story itself.
The story also cannot get its story straight. The Times' reporters evidently wanted to fit what they have found into a standard, "special interest" template: the organization in question — the American Future Fund — as a front for energy interests. The story also says the group has sponsored ads on general themes like too much spending, Obamacare, and another stimulus. But the reporters are determined to see "suggestions of an energy‐related agenda," their own reporting notwithstanding. This forcing of facts into a template comes along with a recognition that the politics of energy and ethanol have become more complicated making it difficult to say what interests are actually being advanced in the American Future Fund effort.
So the story discloses, while decrying secrecy, and both asserts and denies the domination of special interests. In the end, the story holds fast to a simple, conventional theme which is then undermined by its reporting. We should admire, I guess, that the Times' reporters were willing to undermine their own narrative. But why not just embrace complexity? They are writing the first, not the final, draft of history.
The story also reports that donors desire anonymity because they wish to avoid taking sides in political disputes in public. The story does not say why they desire to avoid taking sides. Perhaps a quick call to the Koch family or George Soros might have provided an answer to that question.

The past few weekends offered several more reasons why Colorado has to be the best place in the world to be an endurance athlete.
On Saturday, nearly 1,000 took part in the Leadville 100 mountain bike race won by Lance Armstrong (who, let us not forget, competed in it last year and did not win).
Also on Saturday, more than 1,600 completed the 13.3-mile Pikes Peak Ascent. On Sunday more than 800 did the Pikes Peak Marathon.
The previous weekend, the venerable Georgetown-Idaho Springs Half Marathon had a record 3,000 entrants with a massive late registration of some 400 over the last 36 hours before the race.
Then you have the Wild West Relay, held this month, and the Colorado Relay, coming up next month. Plus the great bike tours like the Triple Bypass and Copper Triangle. Next weekend offers the Leadville 100 Trail Run and the six-day, 113-mile Transrockies Run from Buena Vista to Beaver Creek.
Apart from organized events, Front Range canyons and Lookout Mountain attract hundreds if not thousands of cyclists every day. As I write this, I'm in a Colorado Springs Starbucks, planning a ride in the geological wonderland of the Garden of the Gods as soon as I finish writing about the Pikes Peak Marathon. This is the day after doing a long run in Washington Park, which was teeming with runners and cyclists.
'Tis a privilege to live in Colorado, indeed.

Just wanted to say hi. 40 years old,grew up in the Pentecostal, apostolic faith. The last 3 years I have bounced from church to church trying to make sense of things I did not understand. Well it just caused more questions to the point I realized I could not believe anymore. I will be honest just now coming to grips with the fact I do not believe is still a bit scary and as much as I wish something would just click to where I could believe again. I m starting to realize it is not happening
Dont want to ramle too much. Thanks for the group here

Hey Tricia! I hate to say it, but Jesus doesn't love you. He's too busy being dead. But we all do! (Or, I do, anyhow!)
I know it's a hard process. You probably feel like you've lost a good friend. But I know that, now that you have put away your old superstitions, you will be able to make new and better ones, rather than the imaginary friends you used to keep. :D
Thanks everyone
Mike TY. I actually have him on my FB now, Has been very interesting listening to him. Coming from the same denomination as him I can relate to some of his stories. :)
Thanks again everyone
Welcome Tricia,

I've skimmed through the threads in this forum, and I haven't seen a topic like this, so I figured I'd post it here! If that's okay... The forum rules do say you can talk about superheroes... (That's a pretty general topic there...)... And the forum is kind of, well, slow... So I figured a new topic wouldn't hurt anything. (It's actually kind of surprising it is slow, I would've thought Linkara's internet celebrity status would've made this forum a little more lively... Ah well.)
Anyway! I'm sure everyone here has wanted superpowers at some point...
So without further ado... You have been bitten by a radioactive flower... Or zapped by the Magical Ray of Awesomeness... Or experimented on by The Secret Government Agency of Doom!!! SUPERPOWERS! YES!
Okay, so let's do some self-examining here... Being a superhero IS a big responsibility. I'm not so sure if every person who gets superpowers would be able to handle being a superhero... (or a supervillain). Truthfully, we couldn't know with certainty whether we could handle being superheroes or not without actually being put in that kind of situation... But let's speculate.
Think about what makes a superhero a hero. What are some qualities a superhero has that you can find in yourself? Are there some qualities in a superhero that you don't have? Is there enough flexibility in your life to allow for "hero time?" Are there other things that you can think of that could interfere with your heroic work? What would be your motivation for being a hero?
... All right. I know you all want to do it... ... If you had a choice, what would your superpower be? //^_^\\'
I'd go first, but since I am new here and all, I wouldn't want anyone to think that this post is being directed by my huge ego. (Even though, I do have a rather large ego... It's about the size of a few universes and has absorbed several galaxies by now... But it's the price I have to pay for being the cutest person in existence, for being so very intelligent, being so awesome, and so modest! )
And hey... Maybe after all is said and done... We can compare each other's super-powered selves to everyone else's super-powered selves... and then to known superheroes... And then we could have a massive all-out forum superhero brawl that would be totally awesome!!!
... Or not. //^_^\\'

If Lady Gaga Owned a T-Shirt Label
You just know that any t-shirts designed by Lady Gaga would be the most eye-catching, creative and provocative items on the market. As an ever-changing chameleon of artistic expression, she would perhaps produce a new design every few months - always eagerly awaited and snapped up by the fashion pack.
Lady Gaga might create a t-shirt from a bizarre fabric, made from meshed metal, or plastic pellets, or spider's silk. The cut and shape of one of her t-shirt would of course be dramatic and not very comfortable to wear. But that isn't the point - wearing one of her t-shirts would be all about making a statement, without investing in a complete designer outfit.
In another range from the imaginary Lady Gaga t-shirt label, I'm sure there would be a series of visual jokes to play on. Perhaps a t-shirt which looks as if it is made from raw meat, and one which looks as if the wearer has a torso covered in tattoos or livid scars. That is the kind of design which would stop the traffic if you wore it on the High Street. Just the sort of shocking effect that Lady Gaga likes.
The lady herself would, of course, always be at least one step ahead of her t-shirt wearing followers. Each design would be relevant to a persona she had created in the past, while she herself moves on to the next look. The t-shirt designs would be given names, just like those coveted designer handbags for which there are always waiting lists before they come into the shops. The Lady Gaga t-shirts would have names like "The Diabolical", "The Insanity" and "The Desecration."
Perhaps another idea for such a t-shirt label would be to make t-shirts that change colour. So, for example, you might put on a red t-shirt in the morning but by lunchtime it has become blue, and then green for the evening. You would have no control over the colour changes, the material would simply react to external influences such as light or oxygen. This might be called "The Feeder" as it feeds off everything around it, adapting in response to its environment.
Although technically these would just be humble t-shirts- a basic piece of clothing that we all know and love - they would become high art if they were made by Lady Gaga. Sold only through the most exclusive outlets, or possibly only available direct from the label, they would become instant collector's items. One-off designs may be exhibited reverentially behind glass in a gallery, achieving the same legendary status as Kylie's gold disco shorts (which can also be seen proudly displayed in a gallery somewhere right now).
Having created such a powerful image for herself it would make complete sense to market some of that creative energy through a t-shirt label. You could argue that selling t-shirts would be watering down a powerful brand, but it would enable us, the general public, to share in the Gaga vision.
T-shirt aficionado Cameron Cole lives in Australia and loves t-shirts.

Taipei prosecutors yesterday released on bail a girlfriend of British businessman Zain Dean, who fled Taiwan following his conviction in a fatal hit-and-run case, after detaining her on suspicion that she may have been involved in Dean's escape, as foreign supporters of the fugitive came under fire.
Tung Yu-chi (董玉琪) was released on NT$50,000 bail yesterday afternoon and barred from leaving the country.
Dean was sentenced to four years in prison in July last year on charges of killing a newspaper delivery man in a drunk driving accident in March 2010.
The court said that after drinking with friends in the early hours of March 25, 2010, Dean decided to drive home in his black Mercedes-Benz. On the way, he allegedly hit a scooter from behind, striking its rider, Huang Chun-te (黃俊德), so hard that Huang's neck was broken, leaving him paralyzed for several minutes before he died.
Dean, who denied he was at the wheel and maintained he was being driven by an employee of the KTV lounge where he had been entertaining customers, then allegedly fled the scene.
Members of Huang's family and netizens have been criticizing Linda Gail Arrigo, a US human rights advocate and long-term resident of Taiwan, for making remarks in defense of Dean last week.
Arrigo, who last week represented Dean in issuing a statement critical of Taiwan's judicial system, said the case showed discrimination among some Taiwanese, particularly toward people with darker skin.
In a statement last week, Dean, who is of Indian descent, set four conditions for his return to Taiwan, which he said would ensure a fair trial. Prosecutors have rejected the demands and said they would seek his extradition if Dean is in a country that has an extradition treaty with Taiwan.
Arrigo said there was no need for Dean to return to Taiwan to face justice, prompting a sharp rebuke from Huang's family and supporters, who said she should leave Taiwan.
In response, Arrigo said she had the right to freedom of speech and that she had an Alien Permanent Resident Certificate.
Meanwhile, Jerome Keating, a Taipei-based writer who supported Dean at a press conference in June 2010 chaired by Dean's lawyer in his first trial, Billy Chen (陳達成), told the Taipei Times yesterday that the case was suspicious and should be looked deeply into.
During that press conference, Keating — who himself had a brush with the judicial system and Taiwan's media over allegations of sexual harassment in 2009 — said the expatriate community in Taiwan and abroad thought Dean's case had been manipulated and turned into a social event, which was unfair to Dean's trial and reputation.
"We know there was a death, we know it was caused by Dean's car, we know the man's family is deprived of income and should have recompense," but the case is in question, he said yesterday.
"Video evidence of the accident, which was used to convict Dean was not presented in the trials, and there were two parking lot attendants of the nightclub, but investigators decided one did not drive Dean's car home, and avoided looking into the other," he said.
In a separate e-mail to a mailing group on Sunday, Keating offered "brief knowledge" of the case and wrote: "There are regular deaths by scooters; and then there is Zain's case [,] which of course involves a foreigner."
Investigations found that Dean fled Taiwan on Aug. 14 last year using a friend's passport. The friend, a Caucasian identified only as David, is an English teacher in Taiwan and is also a British citizen.

Original article on my blog @ http://imdsm.blogspo...css-aspnet.html
Detecting printing isn't exactly something which is offered, well, anywhere. It's not exactly supposed to be possible, for privacy reasons and whatnot, and there aren't really any triggers in html, css, asp.net or javascript (that I know of). But at work I _had_ to detect it, and as Google came up trumps for me, it probably has for you too. So I'm going to show you a REALLY simple way to detect printing.
Firstly, you need to know about cascading stylesheets (css files), if you're attempting this then you will already know about these. Well, you can tell the browser to use certain stylesheets for different media types, for example, you can set one stylesheet for the screen, one for printing and even a stylesheet for braille readers for blind folks.
I initially tried to put a file inbetween the print media css file, and then forward the stream on, this worked great except every browser nowadays requests -all- the stylesheets on page load, privacy and all that palava. So that didn't work, but then I had a great idea!
"Surely it won't download all the images unless they're needed?" I thought, and I was right (as usual ).
So, all you simply have to do is have script (either ASP.NET or PHP will do, and another if you have one), and set that as an image in the print media css file! Simples? Simples!
Anyway, I will stop babbling now and show you the code. I have included the screen css, as you probably will want to separate them. That one isn't required though.
In the page, put these inbetween <head> and </head>:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="screen.css" media="screen" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" media="print" type="text/css" />
And in the print.css file, for ASP.NET, put this:
body { background: url(PrintTracker.aspx); }
Or for PHP:
body { background: url(PrintTracker.php); }
And then in that file, you can put your tracking code.
That's it, easy peasy when you think about it!
So, just to recap, what happens is this:
- You have two css files, one for the screen and one for printing.
- The web browser goes to your page and downloads both.
- It then processes the screen one and downloads resources to show on the screen.
- The client then prints, at which point it goes through the already downloaded css and downloads any resources needed to print. This only happens ONCE they have tried to print the page, therefore, you can count it as a print.
If you have any questions, or problems, just send me a message, I'll be happy to help!
