Data File Updated: Friday, August 23, 2013
Faster Than Light travel in Outsider is via "jump drive", which is a form of point-to-point hyperspace travel. A starship activates its jump field generator while on a vector from one star to another, and the ship is propelled into hyperspace, through which it travels (nearly) instantaneously on a ballistic trajectory and re-enters realspace within the gravity well of the destination star. There are no "gates", but the jumping starship must be within the proper outbound zone and have the correct velocity vector to escape from the originating star and to arrive safely at the destination star.
Optimal jump points tend to be located at significant distance from the system primary, so after jumping, the ship must travel through the normal space of the solar system (using conventional drives) before it can reach the next jump point and jump again to the next star. Jump drive only works between adjacent stars because the gravity wells are needed to govern the "pitch and catch" of the hyperspace transit. Other stars' gravity will interfere with this ballistic hyperspace trajectory, so it's usually not possible to jump "past" a nearby star to a more distant star. This effectively limits safe jump range to roughly 6-10 light years, depending upon the density and mass of stars in the area.
Jump Mechanics
A jump zone is a conical volume centered on the vector connecting two masses (Fig. I). The outbound jump zone is very wide, and extends some distance out into interstellar space; as long as your initial vector will carry you close enough to the destination star for its gravity well to pull you back out of hyperspace (and as long as you are far enough out / have enough velocity from the departure star to escape its own well), then you don't have to be exactly on the line (the "jump vector"). The inbound jump zone is much narrower; a ship coming out of hyperspace will appear fairly close to this jump vector. How far from the destination star it appears will depend on the ship's hyperspace momentum, which is increased by departure velocity and decreased by jumping from deeper within the departure star's gravity well.
As described in (Fig. II), gravity wells are necessary at the start and end points of the hyperspace jump to achieve proper entry and exit angles into hyperspace. The vessel's starting space-time velocity is added to the +hyperspace momentum provided by the jump drive to give the transiting vessel a ballistic trajectory through hyperspace. Gravity from the stars in realspace still acts on the ship in hyperspace, pulling it laterally between the stars but also "down" in the -hyperspace direction back towards realspace. If the trajectory of the transiting ship again intersects space-time at the proper angle, it will re-embed itself and return to normal space.
The more hyperspace momentum you have, the "deeper" into the well you travel and the closer you will appear to the arrival star. If you have too much momentum it's possible to exit hyperspace too close to or even inside the star, or to overshoot it entirely causing a hyperspace "miss." If you don't have enough momentum to escape the departure star's gravity well, you'll be pulled back in, either exiting hyperspace inside the star or popping out the other side still in hyperspace, again causing a miss. If you intersect space-time at an improper angle, you may bounce off or even punch through to the other side.
Safety Issues and Failed Jumps
Jumps and exit points can't be calculated with great accuracy, because the exact geometry of the hyperspace-time "curve" you'll be traveling on can't be directly measured. The n-dimensional curvature of hyperspace is chaotic and is affected by many sources, from the gravitation of nearby stars, planets and interstellar gas and dust, to the rotation of the stellar masses and their electromagnetic fields, not all of which you can measure accurately, so there is always an uncertainty factor to account for in your calculations. Therefore, a jumping ship must whenever possible allow for the largest safety margin that it can: it must endeavor to be as close on the vector between the stars as possible, be moving at the optimal escape velocity, and jump at the optimal slope in the departure star's gravity well.
If you jump close on the jump vector, you limit the perturbing influence of your departure star's gravity well to a linear quantity, meaning that it might only affect how deep into the destination star system you arrive. If you jump from a tangential point (Fig. III), then the departure star is pulling you laterally rather than directly back, increasing the chance that you might miss the target altogether. In theory, if your calculations are correct you can jump from a tangent point as illustrated above, but in practice it's extremely dangerous. Maximum arrival distance from the destination varies with the mass of the star, but a successful "short-jump" can often bring you in at the edge of system, outside the orbits of most of the planets. The deeper your jump starts in the departure gravity well, the shallower the exit point is likely to be (Fig. V). Greater starting velocity will also cause the vessel to exit deeper into the destination well.
Hyperspace jumps can be compared to putting a golf ball. In theory, if you hit the ball hard enough on the right trajectory, you should be able to get the ball in the (gravity well) hole from any distance... but in practice, the irregularity of the putting surface makes an accurate putt exponentially more difficult the farther you get away from the hole.
In most cases, the maximum jump distance between stars is about 10 light years, and preferable safe distance is about 6 light years or less. The limitation on jump ranges is based both on limited ability to calculate trajectories past a certain distance (the chaotic element causes the effect of tiny errors to increase geometrically with distance), but also on the interference of nearby stars. The farther you try to jump, the more likely that other stars are going to perturb your trajectory. Higher density of stars will reduce safe jump distance; lower density will increase it.
In a safe jump, the transiting ship reconnects with the space-time curve at the appropriate angle and successfully re-embeds into space-time, usually appearing 4-5 AU from the target star. In a "short jump," the vessel has less than optimal velocity, and so reenters at a more shallow point in the well, and appears farther from the star (often 6-10 AU). Short jumping risks reconnecting with the space-time curve at too steep an angle, causing the vessel to "skip" back into hyperspace. In a "deep jump," the vessel has more than optimal velocity, and so reenters deeper in the well and closer to the star (3 AU or less). Deep jumping risks being pulled directly into the star itself.
Jumping vessels that "miss" the target are rarely seen again in this universe. The various conditions of a failure on reentry into realspace illustrated in (Fig. IV) include:
Overshoot. If either the linear realspace velocity is too great, or the +hyperspace momentum is too great, the ship may miss the target well entirely ("whiff"). If the ship has achieved escape velocity in the +hyperspace direction, it may never return to realspace. Otherwise, gravity from realspace will eventually pull it back toward realspace, at which time one of the results below will occur.
Failure to re-embed into realspace because of angle of entry. This can result in the ship rebounding back into hyperspace ("doink"), or in rare cases punching through realspace altogether and being "liberated" into negative hyperspace. The result of a rebound is usually a series of subsequent further skips until the vessel happens along another gravity well, at which point it will have a chance to re-embed, but will most likely do so in an unsafe manner (see: Collision below). Negative hyperspace is an unknown quantity; objects that enter have never returned.
Collision. Objects in realspace do not physically interact with those in hyperspace (except gravitationally), but if the transiting object reenters realspace at the same location as another mass, the result is a high-energy collision. Matter returning from hyperspace does not "materialize," but rather pushes its way through an extra-dimensional portal. The transiting object may collide from "inside" the obstructing object (particularly if it is a star or planet), but it does not technically occupy the same space as the obstruction, but it treated as a normal kinetic impact. Since this entry is very rapid, and the preserved realspace momentum of the transiting ship is usually quite significant, the kinetic energy of any such collision is considerable and usually catastrophic. The most common collision is with the target star itself. Collisions with planets are rare, because inbound jump zones are seldom in the same plane as the planets' orbits, and if it is, then that jump link is probably too dangerous to be used for safe travel. Collisions with smaller objects are very unlikely; the volume of space is very large compared to the size of ships and debris, even in the restricted area of a jump zone.
Hazards Posed by Very Massive Objects
Very massive objects present a hazard to navigation because their mass can pull a ship off course in hyperspace. This can happen with any star, but a very massive star affects a larger area. In addition to making nearby stars more dangerous to hit, very massive star systems can be difficult to jump directly into, because the gravity well becomes so steep that it's hard to hit the target slope without being pulled all the way into the star. This is why the star-forming regions with star clusters and short-lived massive stars (such as the Gould belt surrounding the local bubble) form natural boundaries to safe jump travel.
Stellar remnants (black holes, pulsars, neutron stars) of very massive stars pose additional hazards to hyperspace travel; because they form through the collapse of a star, they usually have an incredibly high rate of spin, which causes gravitational waves. These waves propagate into hyperspace and have an unpredictable effect on the trajectory of objects transiting through nearby hyperspace, kind of like trying to putt a golf ball on an undulating surface.
Power and Scope of Jump Fields
Because of the high power requirements of the jump field, the field generator must usually be coupled with an array of capacitors (or "accumulators") that can build up the necessary charge over a period of time, usually several minutes. Combined with the requirement of an inertial damping system to protect the ship and crew from the extreme forces experienced when leaving and reentering space-time, this usually means that a jump-capable vessel can't be very much smaller (given Loroi or Umiak technology) than a ~100m gunboat-sized vessel. The smallest jump-capable scouts and couriers tend to be between 100-150m. There is no theoretical upper limit to the size of a starship, but the power required to jump increases with the mass of the vessel.
In order for an object to be successfully propelled into hyperspace, a jump field must be generated that encloses the object and is of sufficient intensity according to the object's mass that it overcomes the inertia that holds the object in realspace (which I suppose could be thought of as a kind of "surface tension" of space-time). If the field is not strong enough, nothing happens. If the field is strong enough to breach space-time but does not cover the entire object, then the forces acting on the part of the object covered by the jump field will attempt to rip it away from the rest of the object. If the object is not strong enough to withstand this tensile stress, then the object will be ripped apart, and the portion within the field will be pulled into hyperspace while the rest stays in realspace (though it is very likely that the retarding force of the object's structural failure may fatally reduce the jumping portion's hyperspace momentum). If the object can withstand this tensile stress (or if there is an inertial damping field in effect around the mass, as is likely in the case of a starship), then the field will try to push the whole object through the portal it has created, but if the energy of the field is not sufficient to propel the whole object through the portal, then the jump attempt will fail, and no part of the object will enter hyperspace.
Any jump-capable tug must therefore usually have jump field generators powerful enough for the total mass of both itself and any towed ship, and able to project the field to cover both ships.
Effects of Hyperspace on Biology
The experience of hyperspace transit has differing impact on various species. Humans are typical in this regard and experience transitory "jump sickness" which may include: vertigo, nausea, headache, disorientation, visual and auditory hallucinations, waking dreams, and nightmares (for those already asleep). These symptoms usually pass after several minutes. Some humans (especially civilian passengers) may resort to various drugs to help lessen the effect of these reactions.
Umiak can experience more severe reactions, including unconsciousness and sometimes mania, and so most Umiak must use drugs to mitigate these effects. Because of this, an Umiak crew will often be at reduced effectiveness for up to an hour after hyperspace transit.
Soia-Liron species (Loroi, Barsam, Neridi) have very little reaction to hyperspace transit.
it should be possible to go around the front lines, yes? there
are plenty of stars around after all....and everyone of 'em are a
potential jumpgate..... which effectively makes the jumpzone a
360x360 degree sphere..... yes?
Not really. Only nearby stars have workable jump links (max 10 light years, and
preferable safe distance is about 6 light years or less). Earth
has 7 possible jump points (Alpha Centauri, Sirius, Barnard's Star, Ross
154, Lalande 21185, Wolf 359 and Luyten 726-8, if you want to
know), but only the two shortest safe for use by most shipping
(Alpha Centauri and Barnard's). Most systems will have fewer
points. All the entry points must be accounted for in a defense
scheme; raiding aside, if an enemy can get a significant force
past your front lines into undefended territory, the war is
over. All borders must be guarded. That said, finding a new
"back door" into enemy territory is the Holy Grail of
a frustrated combatant. New systems that might offer
a new route to enemy territory are always being sought -- hence
the plight of the Humans and other would-be neutral entities.
humanity develop any slower-than-light travel methods before
they got Hyperspace? Say, for instance, Bussard ramjets?
Unlikely, but even if they had, they would have been
overtaken by the FTL ships that were developed soon after.
I'm in a jump zone, how easily and how accurately can I jump to
somewhere else in the same zone? If it's a field, can you 'jump'
photons, or other really fast particles?
Generally, you can't jump to somewhere else in the same system. To
escape being pulled into the primary star, you usually need to
have escape velocity out of the star's gravity well, on a
vector for another star. Entering "hyperspace" you're
hurled toward the other star, the gravity of which rips you back
out into normal space. If you try to jump say, from Jupiter to
Saturn, chances are you will either be pulled back into the Sun,
or you will overjump Saturn and end up who knows where.
How long does it take, in hyperspace, to go 1 ly? And
for in-system purposes, what's the max speed for most ships?
The jump is almost instantaneous, but since your jump range
is limited to about 10 LY, traveling a long way means making a
lot of jumps, and traveling in-system from one jump point to
another. There's no maximum in-system speed, but ships will very
rarely go more than 10% lightspeed (because it would take too
long to stop, otherwise) and even that is extreme; at 30g
it would take 28 hours to reach 10% c, and the ship would
displace some 10 AU during that time. A more reasonable
in-system speed is something closer to 1% lightspeed (3,000
km/s). So, It will generally take several
days to a week to transit each system. It took the Bellarmine
nearly two months to reach Loroi space from 82 Eridani, a
distance of some 200 LY.
if you miss, you may never drop out of FTL?
ships that have overjumped have never been seen again... so it's hard to say for
certain what happened to them. It is assumed that most
eventually dropped out of hyperspace far away, likely ending up
in the center of a star somewhere. Some might never have left
hyperspace. Some might have ended up in the same extradimensional place that the
Event Horizon went. Libera te
tutamet ex inferis!
you missed everything, then head in the only direction that is
truly up (up being opposite of down; down being towards matter)
The problem there is that the jump is nearly instantaneous,
and for the fragmentary moment you're in hyperspace, you're
ballistic. Either you hit the target, or you go bye-bye to
goodness knows where. Don't burn too many neurons over this...
it's completely inconsequential to the story.
Could something really weird like this
at right] happen? I know it's extremely unlikely, I'm just
curious if it would be possible to "glimpse the beyond".
Anything is possible, though this seems unlikely. But since the ship is completely blind during hyperspace transit, there's nothing to see, and it would be hard to know whether this really happened or not (though I suppose it might be a clue if the crew starts to gouge their eyes out and vivisect each other). But I think a more likely result of this scenario is illustrated in (Fig.VII) at right:
the above be an example of entering negative-hyperspace as
Yes, hence the screaming.
why is your jump range limited to 10 ly? If only a massive
gravity well can pull you out, then isn't it only limited by how
much risk you're willing to take?
right. Because stars are so densely packed, a "safe
jump" is usually 10 LY or less.
If you were trying to jump somewhere outside dense galactic
space, your safe range might be much longer, but that's outside
the scope of the story.
If you were trying to jump somewhere outside dense galactic space, your safe range might be much longer, but that's outside the scope of the story.
coming out of hyperspace makes a lot of light (right now I'm assuming all wavelengths), then
with a big enough mass coming
out of hyperspace, couldn't you fry a lot of things? And would it
also create an EM shockwave?
Not quite that much light. If you tossed a planet through hyperspace at them I'm sure you'd cause a great deal of havoc, but none of the combatants has access to quite that much energy.
Can you use one ship to throw another into
hyperspace without needing to actually follow?
It's not possible for one ship to "throw" another object into hyperspace without entering hyperspace itself. There is no method known to the major combatants to project an external jump field that does not include the generator itself. You can use another ship to tow the object into the correct vector, and perhaps use some kind of attachable "jump pack" to perform the jump, but whatever generator that creates the jump field is going into hyperspace along with the object.
Wouldn't a viable defensive tactic to deter invasion be to place
mines or debris around a jump point?
Space is big, and debris is small. The unpredictability inherent in a jump means that even the optimal jump "point" is really a zone almost 1 AU across. That's a lot of space to fill with debris, and there's no way to make the debris stay there; the gravity of the system primary will make it either fall in toward the star or orbit out of the zone.
A possible exploit would be trying to hit enemy planets with guided FTL missiles, in order to cause the previously-mentioned "high-energy explosion". That being said, this depends on three factors-- how high-energy is the high-energy explosion, how accurate your hyperspace drives are, and how cheap the drive is.
Such a collision delivers normal kinetic energy, determined by the hyperspace momentum of the transiting object plus the difference in velocity between the two objects. Since a typical pre-jump velocity is 3,000 km/s, that kinetic energy is usually enough to vaporize both objects if they are of a similar size. If the object in realspace is very large, however, like a planet, this damage is not likely to be significant, especially since the transiting object will usually impact somewhere deep inside the obstructing planet. Also, because it's not possible to accurately predict exactly where the transiting object will re-enter realspace, it's very difficult to hit a planet-sized target.

Another Former Inmate Becomes a Model
A former detainee was discovered by a modeling agency, thanks to his mug shot. At just 20 years old, this handsome man whose name is Mekhi Alante Lucky has switched to modeling after having been contacted by the New York based modeling agency, St. Claire Modeling. It's his very particular eyes that charmed us; he has one azure blue eye and the other is black. This rare asset is called heterochromia.
This bad boy isn't the only one to have been discovered by the world of fashion. In 2014, the mug shot of a man named Jeremy Meeks also crossed social media and eventually gained the attention of a modeling agency. The ex-convict appeared in several ads and collaborated with Hugo Boss, Philipp Plein, Bar Refaeli and many others.
The Daily Mail reveals that Mekhi was arrested five times in 2016 due to car burglary and speeding aboard a stolen car... a real bad boy!
Will he eventually steal Jeremy Meeks's fame? All we have to do is wait and see.

Protecting Your Toothbrush
Taking care of your teeth by brushing and flossing daily is probably second nature by now. You brush twice a day, floss at least once, and occasionally use an antiseptic mouthwash. All are helpful in keeping tooth decay and gum disease away.
So how should you best care for your toothbrush? You can toss the used floss, spit out the mouthwash when you rinse, but what about your trusty toothbrush? You will want to take care to rinse it thoroughly with warm water after every brushing, to get rid of toothpaste residue, oral bacteria, saliva, blood and oral debris that can transfer to your toothbrush.
Based on the American Dental Association's recommendations, you will want to incorporate the following when caring for your toothbrush.
- Only allow your toothbrush to be used by you, no sharing! Sharing toothbrushes allows the exchange of body fluids along with oral bacteria and allows cross-contamination if someone is sick. This is especially true if one of you has a compromised immune system.
- Keep your toothbrush uncovered. Only use toothbrush covers if you are traveling, otherwise, they trap moisture in them making them a breeding ground for bacteria. Let your toothbrush dry after each use to limit bacterial growth.
- Rinse your toothbrush after each use, leave your toothbrush upright in a container, preventing the bristles from touching anything (including another toothbrush, if you are sharing containers). The bristles need to dry in between use to lower bacterial growth.
- Bristles fray and splay over time, making them less effective for teeth cleaning. Inspect the bristles often to make sure they are in good shape. Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months, sooner if the bristles are worn down.
- Don't try to sanitize your toothbrush in a microwave or dishwasher. These appliances were not designed to protect toothbrushes and once they are damaged, will not clean your pearly whites effectively.
- You don't have to soak your toothbrush in a sanitizing solution after each use, but you can soak it in an antibacterial mouthwash once a week to reduce bacterial growth.
If you have questions or concerns, we invite you to reach out to our Sandpiper Dental team at 763-561-7000 today!

It's not every day a new species of insect is discovered. Even rarer is such a discovery occurring online while idly browsing a photo-sharing site. Against the odds, in May 2011 last year, entomologist Shaun Winterton spotted an unfamiliar insect on Flickr. In order to confirm the find, he'd need to enlist the help of the photographer, Guek Hock Ping, to capture a specimen for study.
As NPR writes, it would be an entire year before Guek would return to Malaysia, where he initially found the insect — an undiscovered sibling of the green lacewing. What separated it from a normal lacewing was a distinct pattern of blue and black on its wings, which can be seen in the photo above.
Guek managed to catch one and send it off to be studied at London's Natural History Museum, where it was confirmed by entomologist Stephen Brooks to be a new, uncatalogued species. It was dubbed Semachrysa jade, after Winterton's daughter.
Adding an extra level of geekiness to the proceedings, the official paper on the find, published last week, was co-authored using Google Docs by Winterton, Guek and Brooks.
More photos of the insect can be found on Guek's Flickr stream.

The recently launched website birthornot.com, inviting people to vote on whether a couple should abort their fetus, has caused quite a stir. But is it just a tasteless pro-life stunt?
Meet Pete and Alisha Arnold. They live in Minneapolis and work as tech professionals. They've been married 10 years, and they're both 30 years old. Seems like parenthood might be the next step for this couple? Alisha is actually pregnant, yet the Arnolds don't know whether they're ready to raise a child.
And so they've launched a disturbing website, birthornot.com, inviting the general public to vote on whether Alisha should give birth to the baby or abort.
Nearly 300,000 people have voted, and of those 50.8 percent think Alisha should have the baby and 49.2 percent are suggesting an abortion. (Keep in mind many of these votes likely came from the 4chan message board where visitors were encouraged to vote for the abortion.) Voting ends December 9, the last day Alisha can legally get an abortion in her state.
The Arnolds are blogging regularly, reporting on the progress of the fetus, breaking the news that it's a boy, and running ultrasound images, even a video.
Alisha and Pete share their uncertainties about parenthood in the blog. Alisha has had three prior unsuccessful pregnancies–and there was a time when she truly wanted a child. But now she's not so sure. She writes in a blog post:
Sure, Pete and I have been married for almost a decade now with no kids to show for it, but I'm not convinced that I want to change the status quo. I feel that as I age I've actually gotten more selfish and set in my ways. I'm afraid that I will eventually regret starting a family and "settling down", as they say. I fear that the constant pressure to be the perfect wife and mother while maintaining a full-time job will eventually cause my brain to implode and lead to a nervous breakdown. And the fact that this pregnancy puts a big hold on my weight-loss progress is disappointing. Add in the fact that I've had three unsuccessful pregnancies already and I'm sure you'll understand why my stress-level is going through the roof.
On the other hand I've always loved kids (okay, most kids) and encountering a baby in a store or a park will undoubtedly lead me to silly smiles and "baby talk". I enjoy attending baby showers for my friends and family and look forward to the opportunity to spend time with my young nephews. I glance wistfully at mothers pushing baby strollers at the fair and continually decorate our nursery in my mind. I imagine what it would look like to see Pete holding our son or daughter in his arms and the goofy smile that it would bring to his face.
It's not unusual for pregnant women to share their conflicting feelings about motherhood in blog posts these days but the fact that this mom (and her husband) are inviting the public to vote on whether they should abort is new (not to mention disturbing).
Gawker first broke the story of the Arnolds, and the site suspects this is a sick pro-life stunt. Yet Gawker reporter Adrian Chen apparently spoke with the Arnolds and Alisha said, "It's definitely not a pro-life campaign. I believe in a woman's right to choose."
Amanda Marcotte, a blogger for DoubleX also doesn't buy it and has done some smart detective work. For example, she notes that the reference to "The Pill" is put in quotes with capital letters on the About page, and this shows that the couple probably "spend a lot of time in spaces where the pill is treated like some scary, evil, world-changing object, like 'The Fascism.'"
Marcotte also points out that the Arnolds treat abortion as a lark. She writes: "The people who believe that abortion is treated like a lark aren't really pro-choicers. That women get abortions between getting their nails done and grabbing coffee like it's no big thing is a myth promoted by anti-choice activists. That this myth suddenly shows up as personified by these two isn't a coincidence."
Ministry of Truth has dug up even more proof that it's a hoax. They found evidence linking this site to the climate change denier site "The Church of Global Warming." Ministry of Truth reports: "Although both sites have been registered anonymously, examination of each site's source code shows that both sites have their web traffic monitored from the same Google Analytics account — UA-7524334."
Marcotte predicts how this will all end: "The voters will say they should have an abortion, and the follow-up post will be the couple rejecting the evils of abortion after taking one more look at the ultrasound and falling in love. Then this will become part of anti-choice folklore."

A hotel that's good for your health?
Michelle Cohan | 11/7/2016, 9:49 a.m.
(CNN) Vitamin C showers, circadian mood lighting and aromatherapy.
These sound like holistic amenities you'd find in a lush spa -- not your hotel room.
But the Stay Well hotel room, available at select Marriott and MGM Grand hotels across the United States, is designed to help guests breathe a little easier on their next business trip or vacation ... quite literally.
"We saw a gap in thought," says Paul Scialla, founder and CEO of Delos, creator of the Stay Well concept and specialist in what it calls Wellness Real Estate. "There was really not much being done to the room itself, where the guest is spending most of their time."
From air purifiers to organic mattresses, the rooms are equipped with the latest wellness features that aim to improve water and air quality, mitigate jet lag, enhance mood, ensure restful sleep and decrease exposure to germs.
And of course there's a Stay Well app replete with health-conscious content and meditation training.
Healthy from the ground up
But where Stay Well really stands out is in the offerings you can't see.
It's pioneered a "well" built environment that's healthier from the ground up by incorporating health-driven infrastructure during its construction and design process.
This includes everything from anti-microbial countertops to posture-supportive flooring. Its holistic offerings are supported by the Cleveland Clinic and Dr. Deepak Chopra.
Wellness-focused hotels aren't new.
IHG created the healthy hotel chain EVEN in 2012, offering nutritious food options, large gyms and group workouts.
Wyndham has a "fitness room" option at select Tryp hotels, with workout equipment in the room and other healthier on-site amenities.
"I spent about 18 years on Wall Street. During my final few years there, I took note of the sustainability movement in real estate, and wondered why most of the dialogue was surrounding the environmental impact, and not enough on the human condition: our cardiovascular health, respiratory health, cognitive health, what have you," says Scialla.
Merging assets with industry
From Wall Street... to wellness? An odd turn it might seem, but Scialla found a unique, untapped link between the two.
"The prospects of merging the world's largest asset class, real estate, a $180 trillion asset class, with the world's fastest-growing industry, health and wellness, a $4 trillion a year annual spend, made a lot of sense," he explains.
Today's hotels are very much aware of the need to create environments and rooms that promote wellness and healthy living.
But is it all just a gimmick?
The question becomes how costly these ventures are.
"These programs are exhibiting about a seven-week, break even, on the entire capital expense required to convert a room to a Stay Well room ... That's just an economic no-brainer," says Scialla.
And for the guest, for an upcharge of about $30 dollars a night, a Stay Well room is pretty affordable.

Riedel is the originator of the concept of having many different glasses with characteristics designed to enhance specific types of wines. These range from the short, narrow-mouthed port glass, holding around 250 mL, to the balloon-shaped Burgundy glass, capable of holding an entire bottle of wine.
In theory, the different shapes direct the wine to different parts of the mouth, emphasizing the best characteristics of the class of wines. Another characteristic of Riedel glasses is that they are designed to hold a small amount of wine relative to the volume of the glass, allowing the aroma of the wine to collect in the bowl.
The handmade mouth-blown crystal wine glass collection, Riedel Sommelier, is regarded as the finest in the world by many wine professionals.

Heavy Metal News
Coming In Issue 278 Out On December 30th: Court of the Dead, the Comic Book!
Here's a tip on yet another cool Heavy Metal project coming down the pike: Court of the Dead, a new comic book series we're creating in partnership with Sideshow Collectibles, who are introducing a line of high-end statues of the same name.
The December issue of Heavy Metal (that's #278) will contain Court of the Dead issue #0, which will set up the standalone series' debut in 2016. Heavy Metal #278 will also get a special Court of the Dead cover, which looks something like this:
The Court of the Dead collaboration was announced yesterday at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo, where Heavy Metal CEO Jeff Krelitz moderated a panel that featured Sideshow's Chief Creative Officer Tom Gilliland as well as Grant Morrison, who will take over as Editor in Chief of Heavy Metal starting with the April issue.
"Court of the Dead was the first property I've seen since The Lord of the Rings that had my mind racing about the world, the characters and the lore," Krelitz says. "It is a masterwork and Heavy Metal is proud to help launch Sideshow's beautiful and ambitious epic."
Here's how Sideshow Collectibles describes Court of the Dead:
The Court of the Dead is a dark fantasy epic in which Death, Lord of the Underworld, is mankind's only hope for deliverance from a never-ending war between Heaven and Hell. Death crafted the ghastly and glorious Court of the Dead to aide him in his crusade against the celestials, but the Court is divided into three conflicting factions: Bone, Flesh and Spirit. Will these factions destroy humanity's only hope to stop the celestial war machine, or can the Underworld unite to Rise, Conquer and Rule?

.:The Axe Falls:.
And now I know why there was an "urgent" matter that needed to be discussed "after" the anniversary. Apparenty, I am all set to receive my second memo, and this will result in a five-day suspension without pay from work.
I won't make any excuses for the fact that I have been delinquent with my work at WAVE as of late.
However, I will not sit idly by as they continue to let me languish in the graveyard shift and expect my health to keep up with it.
That being said, they have been adamant that unless I can find alternatives, then I have no choice except to either put up with my timeslot, or to simply leave the company. Well, guess what? I just decided that instead of letting my suspension roll by as a forced vacation for me, I'm going to use it as an opportunity to go job-hunting. I know I can find work, and I know I can do better than this.
Quite frankly, I don't care about "company loyalty" anymore when it comes to this company. It's been nothing but an excuse for them to treat their employees shabbily, and I am not going to be an idiot and take it all in blindly.
I've been put on notice, and now, WAVE is officially on notice from me, as far as I'm concerned. If it hasn't ocurred to them that they're almost literally killing me with these conditions, then I know I deserve better than this.

A beautiful, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime is our ultimate goal when treating patients. Your personal home care plays an important role in achieving that goal. Your personal home care starts by eating balanced meals, reducing the number of snacks you eat, and correctly using the various dental aids that help control the plaque and bacteria that cause dental disease.
Tooth brushing – Brush your teeth at least twice a day (especially before going to bed at night) with an ADA approved soft bristle brush and toothpaste.
Electric toothbrushes are also recommended. They are easy to use and can remove plaque efficiently. Simply place the bristles of the electric brush on your gums and teeth and allow the brush to do its job, several teeth at a time.
Flossing – Daily flossing is the best way to clean between the teeth and under the gumline. Flossing not only helps clean these spaces, it disrupts plaque colonies from building up, preventing damage to the gums, teeth, and bone.
Floss holders are recommended if you have difficulty using conventional floss.
Rinsing – It is important to rinse your mouth with water after brushing and after meals if you are unable to brush. If you are using an over-the-counter product for rinsing, it's a good idea to consult with your dentist or dental hygienist on its appropriateness for you.
Use other dental aids as recommended by your dentist or dental hygienist: interdental brushes, rubber tip stimulators, tongue cleaners, irrigation devices, fluoride, medicated rinses, etc., can all play a role in good dental home care.
If you would like to schedule an appointment or have any additional questions about dental implants, please contact Signature Dental Group at their Algonquin dental practice today!
This is one of the most accommodating medical practices I've worked with. Dr. Sherman and Staff are kind and the facility itself is calming. I feel this office has gone above and beyond to make sure my sleep apnea is corrected; and my oral appliance is comfortably functional.
Vicki T.
I used to have so much anxiety going to the dentist. Dr. Sherman and his staff have taken the anxiety away. They are so nice and calming. Very professional. I recommend them to everyone because everyone should have positive experiences at the dentist!

we have a Halfling fighter
an elven thief with a fixation for daggers
a halfling bard
the blue dragonborn priest of Protos

Here is my Callie.
I painted her as a second WIP for my BONES 1 attempts.
I really like the sculpt. I painted her as a half-orc or orc. She has some freckles, nice green gems, and some ivy freehand on the cloak.
Here is a link to the WIP.

PHOENIX — Statement from McSally Campaign CEO Jim Bognet on the current state of the Arizona senate race:
"Today our vote total grew at a greater rate than expected, and we expanded our vote margins in rural areas counting mail-in ballots dropped off on election day. The latest release provides compelling evidence that the remaining uncounted ballots are favorable to Martha. And we will continue our effort to make sure all lawful ballots are counted."
BACKGROUND: As county recorders across the state continue to report numbers, the largest remaining category of votes to be counted strongly favor Martha because significantly more high propensity Republican early voters had not turned in their early ballots as of Election Day.

"Great Wines Begin in the Vineyard"
Our small boutique winery realises the potential of the fruit in crafting excellent wines. All wine is made on the property and the majority of fruit used in the wines is from the property. Our vines are producing fruit primarily of Spanish and Italian origin. These varieties suit our Mediterranean climate and our wines and overall ethos reflect these Southern European characteristics.
Ashley, in conjunction with consultant winemaker Vanessa Carson, uses traditional European winemaking techniques and minimal intervention to ensure wine true to its original flavour. All fruit is handpicked so enters the winery in full bunches and is soft basket pressed.
The majority of our grapes are hand picked in the vineyard, and arrive in the winery after coming off the vine, ready for crushing or cold maceration.
Grapes are crushed or placed in cold maceration for up to 3 days.
Once complete ferments are soft basket pressed, using traditional methods which best express the natural characters of the fruit.
The fermentation process is carefully monitored and managed by our resident winemaker Ashley, in conjunction with consultant winemaker Vanessa Carson.

Climate Action Reserve: Mexico Forest Protocol
The Climate Action Reserve seeks to demonstrate that high-quality carbon offsets foster real reductions in GHG pollution, reduce local air pollution, spur growth in new green technologies and allow emission reduction goals to be met at lower cost. The Reserve establishes high quality standards for carbon offset projects, oversees third-party verification bodies, issues carbon credits generated from such projects and tracks the transactions of credits over time in a transparent, publicly-accessible system.
The Reserve is working with partners in Mexico to create a new protocol for forest projects in Mexico. The objective of the protocol is to produce quality offsets from project activities that enhance carbon stocks in forests with the intent to interface and reconcile with future accounting strategies developed at jurisdiction levels, where the focus is expected to be on avoiding emissions from deforestation and degradation (not covered under the protocol).
The Climate Action Reserve began as the California Climate Action Registry and was created by the State of California in 2001 to address climate change through voluntary calculation and public reporting of emissions. California's Air Resources Board, responsible for implementing the California cap-and-trade programme, has adapted the Reserves's Forest Project Protocol to create a Compliance Offset Protocol for US Forest Projects. Reserve offsets from certain domestic forestry projects are also eligible for early action crediting under California's cap-and-trade programme.
In 2013, the draft new Mexico Forest Protocol (MFP) was released, which focuses on enhancements (i.e. the "+" side of REDD+). The initial release of the draft MFP followed 14 months of meetings, consultations, and conference calls among an expansive list of Mexican and non-Mexican stakeholders including non-governmental organisations (NGOs), government agencies, project developers, and landowner representatives. The current draft was developed with a vision toward seeking synergies with a standard being developed in Mexico (Norma Mexicana (NMX) para el desarrollo de proyectos forestales de carbono) that will create an infrastructure for all forest project activities. The Reserve is currently partnering with various agencies, NGOs, and communities to develop pilot projects to field test the protocol prior to its general release.
The Reserve's MFPis designed to be versatile such that it could be adapted for use within sector-based crediting systems (when developed in Mexico) for use in the compliance market.
Design Features
Enhancement activities including Reforestation, Improved Forest Management, Agroforestry, and Urban Forestry.
Project baselines are developed to reflect a conservative estimate of business-as-usual practices and are determined through analysis of current forest conditions and indicators of threats to forest cover. Baselines must conform to legal constraints and financial constraints. Baselines do not include trends of forest carbon declines as, in Mexico, avoided emissions accounting will be conducted through jurisdictional frameworks. The crediting period for project baselines is 25 years and can be renewed indefinitely.
Additionality is a requirement of the MFP. Projects must demonstrate that emissions removals would not have otherwise occurred in a conservative business-as-usual scenario. The protocol includes a legal requirement test, such that GHG reductions or removals must be above and beyond any GHG reductions or removals that would result from compliance with any federal, state, or local law, statute, rule, regulation, or ordinance and a risk-based performance test indicating that the project goes beyond business-as-usual as defined in the protocol.
Leakage is managed through a standardised accounting of 'secondary effects,' including activity shifting and a standard deduction for market leakage in harvested wood products (20% of difference in harvested volume between baseline and project scenario). Additionally, landowners must monitor vegetation shifts throughout their ownership to ensure sustainable management in areas not directly associated with project activities.
Permanence is defined as 100 years (following the last issuance of offset credits for emissions reductions or removals from the project); therefore monitoring and verification activities must be maintained for at least 125 years (i.e. 100 years of monitoring and verification beyond the 25 year crediting period). The protocol allows for ton year accounting which recognises the temporal value of carbon out of the atmosphere. Credits are issued based on the portion of the 100-year permanence period landowners are able to secure the sequestered carbon. Recognizing that both natural and human-induced reversals can occur, forest owners are required to identify and quantify the risk of reversals from different agents based on project-specific circumstances. The resulting risk rating determines the quantity of Mexican Climate Reserve Tons (MCRTs) that the project must contribute to the Reserve Buffer Pool to insure against reversals. Unintentional reversals are mitigated through the Climate Action Reserve's buffer account (i.e., MCRTs are retired from the buffer account to cover such reversals). Intentional reversals (e.g., those caused by overharvesting for period in which the credits are secured through contractual agreement) must be compensated for by the project owner through the required retirement of MCRTs.
Projects on communally owned land must adhere to requirements that address free, prior, and informed consent to the project, proper meeting notification, participation, and documentation, and project governance. The protocol provides guidance for how project concepts are presented to the community, along with a discussion of costs and benefits associated with the project and the process for project approval by the community. Requirements exist to ensure the occurrence of periodic meetings, that those meetings are noticed, that opportunities for participation exist for all participants, and that the meetings are documented. Additionally, the MFP includes requirements for project governance, including the establishment and succession of a project coordinator, to assist in project administration and oversight.
The protocol has a goal that project activities will sustain and/or enhance forest ecosystem functions. All projects must promote and maintain native forests that, when managed, are comprised of multiple age classes and mixed native species. Projects must maintain or increase inventories of live and dead trees over time and do so using a variety of native tree species. The entire project area, including areas outside of activity centers, is monitored with criteria to ensure the composition of mature forest structure is maintained or is increased. Lastly, all areas identified as high conservation value stands must be conserved during the project life.
The protocol requires that each time the project is verified, evidence must be presented that the project is in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
The protocol defines monitoring and reporting requirements. Monitoring activities consist primarily of updating a project's forest carbon inventory and analysing the inventory for compliance with environmental safeguards and policies on reversals. The inventory must be reported annually, using a custom and standardised data management tool developed by the Climate Action Reserve. The tool provides a user-friend template for data entry, has embedded analytics which facilitates project monitoring, reporting, and verification. Projects are issued credits based on data from annual monitoring reports and only require verification if inventory reports exceed tolerance thresholds for normal annual forest change. Site verification is required at the project initiation and at regular 5-year intervals.
CAR administers the listing, reporting and verification of the MFP. Credits issued to projects using the protocol are registered and tracked on the CAR's registry system which ensures the integrity of credits issued through market transactions including retirement.
Mexican Forest Carbon Projects must undergo a site verification at the project initiation and site verification every 5-years hence. Verification activities are designed to ensure all protocol requirements are upheld. Site verification is designed to be efficient and robust and includes a random inspection of individual inventory plots and standardised statistical analysis.
Verification teams must include at least one forester with a degree in forestry. A Forest Project is considered automatically terminated if the Project Developer chooses not to report data and undergo verification at required intervals.

So, as you can see by our non-slick, unflowery, weblog- internet design isn't my thing. Flood waters might rise a number of meters below the 'Queenslander' before getting into the home. In addition, she has lavender sachets and scented collars to keep at bay fleas & tics in your pets. They might be there to reply the phone and discuss your own home with potential buyers and prepare a viewing. To put a house available on the market, higher than the market will bear just isn't good for the agent or the sellers. I'm hoping to marry a lady who is thrilled about traveling the world in humble fashion and visiting totally different places of historical curiosity as a lot as I am. Maybe we'll buy a home when it's time to retire from questing. House Party reveals new events frequently and you apply for those you're inquisitive about. You take a brief survey that covers both demographics in addition to purchasing/way of life.
At this point, the Astrologer knows what known as The Trinity", or three most necessary components in an individual's horoscope, the Sun Sign, Moon Sign, and Ascendant. House was a co-manufacturing of Heel and Toe Films , Shore Z Productions , and Bad Hat Harry Productions in association with Universal Media Studios for Fox. No matter what illness is thrown at him, regardless of how impossibly incurable it seems, House (usually) manages to avoid wasting the day.. If only he'd smile extra. Maybe you should look into the Baltimore Historical Society or The Sun archives for footage of these homes. There are no plans for making this stunning trying cat cocoon, nevertheless it's pretty self-explanatory.
The roof (part A) of the bat field was reduce slightly over-sized to permit secondary cut at a 22 half of degree angle to match the highest of the back (part C) and the sides (components B).Milling the again fringe of the roof to a 22 half degree angle improves the visible attraction and makes it simpler to remove drafts and to waterproof the joints between the roof, back and sides of the bat house.
This page highlights some of my favourite DIY birdhouse plans that I've made to date, and I plan to keep adding extra birdhouse projects. Moonlake – Yes, I've heard that that has occurred to others as well…but once more, you have to go off your experiences with a purpose to interpret hen omens & signs. The Doctor as a result of he is a time traveller who sometimes thinks he's seen every thing, however one thing new is simply ready behind the corner, like a city within the heart of a solar. At the time of writing, I can see that they've 7823 houses on the market and have had 2875 enquiries for viewings in the past 7 days. A little little bit of inventive framing then passed off to support the house end of the primary ridge pole, as there was no simple approach of connecting this in the same approach.
Run by a number of thrift stores to seek out the right piece that your cats will love— it would in all probability be cheaper than shopping for provides at the dwelling improvement store. The silver pound has contributed to greater than average house prices for the county, and it's consequently rare to find a habitable three bedroom home under £200,000 on this seaside city with its fantastic sandy seashore. The home has a grand spacious really feel with high ceilings and chandeliers, distinctive kitchen and living rooms have an open plan really feel which is ideal for families and enormous groups. We should be capable to set in a large tank by the barn (its up a hill from the house).

Technology is having a dramatic impact in how the faithful follow the coming election for pope, as AP notes:
A pastor in Ontario wondered about behind-the-scenes politicking ahead of the conclave to elect the next pope. He could have read news reports or listened to briefings by the Vatican spokesman. Instead, he asked a cardinal. Less than an hour later, the response arrived.
"What I see is a real desire to know, and so evaluate, the papabili against criteria of qualities demanded by situations," wrote Cardinal Wilfrid Napier of Durban, South Africa, using the term "papabili" for cardinals seen as papal contenders.
The exchange occurred on Twitter, one of many online interactions that have made this papal succession unlike any other for Roman Catholics and observers of the church. While the election starting Tuesday will remain strictly secret, social media is providing a direct link to the events surrounding the succession, creating a virtual conclave that involves lay people in everything from voting to prayer.
"I think it's fabulous for the church," said Brother Martin Browne, a Benedictine monk in County Limerick, Ireland, who is following Vatican analysts and reporters on Twitter instead of watching general news coverage. "I think more people understand what's going on now because there's greater access to good information."No one will be posting updates from inside the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican will activate electronic jamming devices so no one can listen in or report out. "You obviously can't have cardinals inside the conclave tweeting 'Uh-oh, trending right now: new young cardinal from wherever,'" said Greg Burke, a Vatican communications adviser.
But in the run-up to the ceremony, several cardinals have been interacting with the faithful on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere — in some cases even during the interview ban the College of Cardinals imposed last week to prevent leaks about their daily meetings.
Cardinal Ruben Salazar Gomez, archbishop of Bogota, Colombia, tweeted that although God would ultimately choose the next pontiff, he wanted to know what his followers hoped for in a new pope.
"I would very much like your feedback," he wrote in Spanish. On zulumissions.org, a site for the Archdiocese of Durban, church officials have been providing updates for parishioners leaving messages and prayers for Napier. Along with daily meetings and informal dinners, several of the 115 cardinal-electors, some of whom had never met, say they're using Google to research each others' writings and church works.

Hazoor Paak pbuh talked about racism in his final khutbah. And till today we are still suffering from rasicm between different ethnicities and different colors within the ummah. Being arab versus ajam.
Nowadays in some countries if an important person give his recomendations about a person for a position in a organisation, he will get employed. In some countries if people pay money to get hired, they get the job, even when other people are more qualified for the position. Hazoor Paak pbuh told his own daughter, Fatma raa, if you want to be granted jannah, don't rely on your lineage, but be consistent in doing good deeds. Imagine, his telling this to his pbuh own daughter.
Allah raised the rank of a black slave to stand on what is the most sanctified in Islam, the kaabah, to give a Bilali (raa) adhaan (call to prayer). His ranks were raised. His color didn't matter, his obedient mattered.
We should not avoid certain people just because they are weird or unusual people. Allah also told Hazoor Paak to not avoid certain companys, just because some of the chiefs, disliked being in their company of the poor and weird. That is what is happening today. People avoid each other because of what others own, and wear. Not realizing that the true person is not mere there outside, but it is their values, conduct, behaviour, character, god-consiousness/god-fearingness.
We have lost such an important part of the sunnah. We have become arrogant (arab). May Allah help us humble ourselves without becoming a dormat. Aameen
Most people talk bad about women that wear hijab. Without lifting an eyebrow about women in their life, who not only doesn`t wear hijab, but also pluck eyebrows and wear perfume. These women, girls are not looked by men with good intentions.
Most people talk bad about women that avoid mix gatherings or places where there is played music. Without lifting an eyebrow about the people who think that music uplifts them. Most of who seek places where they easily can interact with the other gender. This is most people idea of having fun.
Most people backbite women who avoid certain arrangements and tv-channels even if they are for women only. While they don`t mind that many of the places, even at islamic programs, there is a lot of noise and most people are backbiting and many muslims are making fun of others.
Most people talk bad about people who care about what they eat, every ingredients so that they don`t eat anything that is not allowed. They can use a lot of time finding the right restaurant or checking the ingredients in all foods. Or questioning the employee about this. While they care little of those who eat all kinds of meat, and all kinds of food, and never dare to question for a second time if the food actually is halal. Disregarding, caring little for that the food they eat has an impact on their behaviour.
Most people think those who are always speaking the truth, are foolish, because it gets them into trouble. While they don`t care for the fact that the angels doesn`t like to company people who lies.
Most people make fun of many sunnah`s of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. The sad part is that most of them doesn`t know that making fun of any parts of Islam, can take you/ and your children, further away from it. How can your claim of loving the prophet pbuh be true, while you make fun of his simple life-style.
Most people doesn`t like paying much money, when it comes to learning the deen, attending online courses or buying books. While they can utilize many thousands in buying a new car/ house/ vacation just to impress their friends.
Most people doesn`t get impressed by conduct/ knowledge/ hikmah/ in deen or people who takes practicing Islam seriously. They get impressed by bank-balance, expensive cars, big houses, mobile phones and clothing from expensive brands. Non of which will help them attain jannah.
Instead of looking with disgust at people who are trying to be more practicing, we should actually give these people a break. Today many people say that people force other muslims to practice Islam. Where? As I see it, the community, so-called muslims by name, are making it difficult for practicing muslims, to practice Islam, as it came. Instead of pointing fingers at people you don`t know. Try to understand certain people by what they are avoiding. Maybe we can understand them more after that.
Often when we like or love someone we often might be achieving some sort of benefit from them. Like parents love their children, but expect that they take care of them when they need them. Loving your spouse because he provided for you and takes care of everything for you. Friendships are maintained when people achieve some sort of benefit or help. There is no kind of relation with anyone without expecting anything in return. In every relation we are also giving and receiving something. In the love for the sake of Allah, we are giving un-conditional love to another person, because of our love for Allah. Not expecting anything from anyone, but only because we want to please Him.
There is nothing more pure
When we help and love other for the sake of Allah we fulfil commandments of Allah, that would be pleasing for His creation, in order to please the Creator. Being good to family, parents, friends and neighbours, and fulfilling our obligations. This motivation that keeps us inspired, receiving Allah`s love and never giving up, it`s like a candle that never stops spreading light.
Under His Shade on Judgment day
Those that love each other for Allah`s sake will be re-united with each other under His shade on Judgement day. There is no greater achievement. While others are being punished and questioned for their wrongs, the righteous ones are in calmness and joy and rejoicing under His shade. When we want to obey Allah and love His words to the extent that we would want to achieve His pleasure, we would want to find ways to make Him pleased with us. Pleasing His creation for His sake and being patient with them when they are difficult. Realizing that the reward will be given from Him. Even when we do the right thing, some people will hate us for it, other might love us for it. This will change all the time. Even the same person can`t always love us all the time. Therefor as long as we know we are behaving according to the Quran and Sunnah, don`t let people`s negative or positive remarks get us off the right path. Be persistent, and know that the One that will love us, no matter what, all the time, is Allah.
May Allah make us of those righteous people who love each other for the sake of Allah, and are re-united under His shade on Judgement day and in firdous. Aameen summa aameen.
I'm an extremely sensitive and intense person. That's what makes me so creepingly extreme. Though I don't like all extremes. But some extremes are actually worth sharing. Like being extremely happy. But that won't last until we are extremely grateful and extremely content with our life. We can only achieve an extremely content life by being extremely good to ourselves and all other extremely goodnatured people around the world. In case I might find other likeminded people with such extreme thoughts as me.
I love and adore extremely beautiful people. Those that have the extremely nice attitude that brings out extreme joy in an ever so extremely dark day. The ones that share smiles to the extreme, without making you feel bad about smiling back. The extremely including people, that talks with the outcasts, that sometimes feel extremely lonely. These extreme lovelies, knows how to be extremely joyous and give extremely good advice when needed. Most of them have this special extremely awsome sixth sence, that know when to talk and when to leave alone. These extremely beauties can be found everywhere in the world. And they help you forget your extreme problems, or they have such extreme good points on how to decrease the extreme world poverty or other issues, that our problems seems so extremely small, after their extremely intelligent and well-thought and extremely good Judgement for solutions. Some of them have such an extremely good behaviour, that they are only one sentence away from attaining the extreme felicity in Paradise. If they would accept the extremely beautiful Islam, they would understand, that they are living the extreme beautiful life of Muslims without being muslims. By saying one extremely awsome sentence, they will understand, that they're extreme beautiful behaviour is as extremely good as the behaviour of the most extremely beautiful man on earth (pbuh), that had the most extremely good manners, conduct and character that any extremely beautiful person can easily follow to the extreme. How is it possible that they are following his (pbuh) extremely beautiful quotes and actions without knowing them or knowing him (pbuh). That makes me extremely sad. May Allah help these extremely beauties and lovelies understand how extremely beautiful they are, inside out. Not because of their appearance. But because of their love to the extreme goodnatured mentality and behaviour that the world needs more of. Thanks to you extremes, we have understood, why it is not a bad thing to be intense. May Allah guide you to accept the most extremely truthful message for mankind: Islam. The extreme religion where extremely peaceful people, enjoy the fact that other people live in an extremely peaceful environment together. No matter what belief, color, gender, or culture they have. They are extremely happy when other people are also extremely happy. They are of the extreme joy-sharers. May Allah help us understand the extreme goodness of Islam and it's extremely beautiful message. Thank you for helping me understand, that being extreme is not a bad thing. It can actually be a good thing. Thanks for decreasing the stigma of the word "extreme". You guys and gals are extremely Ok people. 🙂 I am not going to say sorry for being extremely lovable muslimah again. I have realized through this extremely honest post that it is not a bad characteristic to be extremely good. 🙂 God Bless you 🙂
We are all in a race this month, the race to beat ourselves in doing better deeds each day, make the prayers that are accepted an achieve a better dunya and akhirah on the way. Most of us are. I wanted to share a few points for those whom are striving to improve their ibaadah and do as much good they can.
Only To Please Allah
Every action is given reward according to its intention. So if your deeds is not the grandest but the intention of what you are doing is grand, than you can reap great rewards. Similarly, if your deed is great, read 100 voluntary prayers in 1 hour just to beat my friends who only read 90. Your intention was not to solely do the ibaadah for Allah but to do better than others. The important point to understand is that we need to ask Allah to perfect our intentions and our sincerity, Ikhlaas. This is something we all are striving with. One cure can be to hide the good deeds we do, and keep them between us and Allah. On the day of Judgment Three people will be thrown in hell first. They are a martyr, a reciter of Quran, and a wealthy person. When they are asked what their intentions were for doing these deeds, they say to please Allah. Allah whom of course can see their intentions, says that these deeds were rather done to be called courageous for the martyr, the man of knowledge wanted the people to call him a good reciter, and the wealthy wanted to be called generous.
They Are Given Signs In Their Life
The heaviest on the scale of deed on Judgement Day is good manners. Our deeds are not going to be counted as of how many they are. But they are being weighed of sincerity, intention and if salah; the khusho. To have these great qualities we have to kill our ego and think less of ourselves and more of Allah and His Greatness. With our every action. We are nothing and Allah is everything. We need to fully understand whom we are doing it for and why. For instance, often people say, you were given that and that blessing because you deserved it. I don`t understand this as the pure truth. If you have a father that is a millionaire. Obviously when you have a lot of wealth you will live wealthy, with expensive things. If this father has a son, who lends his fathers expensive car and goes on a trip with his friends. Showing off that he can buy this car. He is ascribing the car to himself. The same way, if we are breathing right now, it is not because we have done something amazing in the eyes of Allah, that He is giving us these breaths. Allah has given us this life to test us, to see whom are His submissive slaves, that are patient when he withholds and grateful when He gives. Our vehicle, wealth, children, status, spouse, beauty is given from Allah. He wants to know if we will use it for good or bad. Can you say that Hitler deserved the breaths he was given by Allah, even though he killed so many jews? Can you say that Bush deserved his breath although he started a war against innocent people, just because of 9/11. I`m sure no religion justifies killing innocent people in their scriptures. These leaders were given the position they had because Allah was testing them. Allah gives wealth, livestock, beauty in abundance to people who doesn`t believe in Him. This is a test for them. They are given signs throughout their life to help them turn to Allah, some are put astray even more than before others are guided, even though they have failed sometimes.
We Are Forgiven Because Of Allah`s Rahma, Not Because Of Our Deeds
On judgement Day there will be two men that are going to be questioned in front of Allah. One of them has used all his life to do good deeds and is very proud of himself. As he is given Jannah, he walks were slowly towards his destination. Meanwhile another person has done wrong deeds all his life, and is sentenced to a life in Hell. This person is running towards hell with speed. So Allah stops both and asks them why they walk as they do. The one with great deeds comes in a discussion and says he deserves Jannah because of his good deeds. So Allah says, ok, lets weigh them. This is a person whom has utilized all his life doing good deeds. When his deeds are weighed they don`t even weigh as much as the blessing of the eyesight of one of his eyes. So he is thrown in Hell because he believed in himself rather than Allah`s Mercy. The other person will be asked why he was running so fast. He will answer that he is so ashamed of himself that he didn`t obey any of Allah's commandments in Dunya so he thinks for himself that, he will at least obey this command, so he hastened for his punishment in Hell. Because of this Allah forgave him and gave him Jannah. Even our Prophet Muhammad pbuh has said, if it wasn`t for Allah's rahma on him, even he wouldn`t be forgiven his sins. And he pbuh is the perfect of all people. Where do we stand whom disobey Allah and sometimes obey Him.
Praise Can Make Us Forget Our Faults
When shaytan can not make us sin, he makes us waste time or puts self-thoughts in our mind. A man once came to see the Prophet. He wasn`t let in to him at once. Ayesha raa told him pbuh who it was. Prophet Muhammad said: "that is a bad person". When he came in the Prophet pbuh was even nicer to him than the other people whom are good that he pbuh usually are nice to. So after he had left, the mother of believers, Ayesha raa asked him, why he was so well-treated when he was so bad. He pbuh answered because he could have harmed us by spreading bad stuff about us, through poetry or etc, so to prevent that from happening, he pbuh pleased him by his manners that he went happily. On the contrary there is another hadith that says that those that please other in their face, break their neck, in example make proudness grow in them and therefore destroy their deeds. If we want to praise some people because of their remarkable work, do it in a way that doesn`t make him/her feel proud, but at the same time makes them feel appreciated. When other praise us, it is important that we don`t get blind to what they say either, often it is sugar-coated. If we are sincere to ourselves and evaluate ourselves and know how we really are. Whenever some people praise us, we would actually hate them, because they don`t know us the way we know ourselves. We would rather love those who gently guide us to our faults because then we would find some points that needs improvement. Insight in our own deeds would never allow us to become proud. Knowing that good deeds come from Allah`s guidance and not necessarily because we are worthy of doing them, is also something that helps us keep us humble.
Make Dua In A Language You Understand
It is easy to understand that the more you know what you are reciting the more asr it would have on you. If we keep on reading the salah, without comprehending on the translation, we will not be able to build our khusho, concentration in salah. How can our intentions and our sincerity be on top if we don`t understand what we are saying. Making dua in your own language helps and taking baby-steps to understand what surah`s are saying will help also.
The Opposite Of Each Other
We have discussed that is not the deed itself but the intention behind it, that matters. One hadith that portrays that in a beautiful way is of a man who comes to a place with his camel and wants to pray. He is looking for something to tie his camel to. He doesn`t find it so he makes it himself, to help other that would need the same at this place. Some time after a man comes and sees this thing in the sand, where other might have tied their camel. He is afraid of it hurting some people if they don`t see it while they are passing it. So to save others for the hurt, he takes it out of the ground. Both are given a good deed for what they did, even though they did the opposite of each other. It is because of their intention for the deed was correct.
The Grandest Deed Can Be Rejected
Imagine you want to feed the poor and hungry, but you don`t have that much money. So instead of earning money, you steal from the rich to give to the poor, ala robin hood. Even though the deed is great, and has immense reward in the eyes of Allah, since it is forbidden to steal, you won`t get any reward, but rather bad deeds for it.
Few Points To Reap The Reward
- Intention for the deed. You are doing this only for Allah to please Him not so that other will praise you or think good of you.
- Avoid praising others. It can develop proudness in them.
- Sincerity. Our deeds are weighed not counted. It wouldn`t help to read fifty voluntary prayers if you don`t have any concentration in them. Rather read two with full concentration/khusho.
- The blessings in our life are from Allah, we are not given them because we deserve them, but because He will test us. The same way we are tested when He takes something away from us or afflicts us in a trial.
- Allah likes the repentant sinner more than those that are arrogant because they have done good deeds.
- Without Allah`s guidance and we having a heart that accepts guidance, we can become lost at any time.
- Understanding the meaning of the words in salah and supplications increases the sincerity and khusho. Being heedless of what we are reciting does the opposite.
- Even though the deed is seen as great, if the means of achieving it is haram, you won`t reap any reward, but rather bad deeds.
There can be said a lot about the difference between love and lust. Mix gender relationships nowadays are very normal these days. If you aren`t "with" anyone you are "gay". As long as you have friendships people are cool with you, you`re one of them. It isn`t difficult for anyone to find someone to be with or marry. What is difficult is to find that person you know is going to be with you even when your appearance isn`t like a 20-year-old or hold your hand on the way to Jannah.
Love versus Lust
Marriages are built on many qualities, and lust is not one of them. When you desire someone because of their physical beauty that is lust. When you put precedence to conduct and character before beauty, you are giving values more preference. When people marry someone because of their looks, they forget that looks will eventually fade in some years. When they no longer have the outer beauty, you start to look outside for those who have it.
Looks can lie
Most of the muslim marriages are arranged by a third-party. Love marriages are on the rise. As a muslim even if you know your fiancée before marriage, it will mostly only be based on what people have said about him/her. You won`t get to know the person before the couple gets married/nikah. Why you choose the spouse you choose will have a great effect on the marriage. When people look at beauty rather than conduct/character they miss the most essential part of that person. Looks can lie. You will have to live with the spouses character for the rest of your life.
Marriages that increases in love
Love that is build after marriage with good conduct, loyalty, trust, friendship, will increase with time. These spouses see the beauty in each other despite of their grey hair and wrinkles, or the extra pounds. Actually it increases them in beauty. They married each other for many years ago but fell in love with the same person every time. It is the small gestures, that builds the bond. Taking care of each other despite the fact that you just had a fight. Doing so many things for each other because you want to make your spouse happy, not to get something in return. The unconditional love. They know each other love language and how to express it. There is nothing more beautiful than an old couple that are in love, supporting each other. They have gone through good and bad times together, laughed and cried together, had their disagreements, but still been there for each other. That is beauty. They didn`t start praying for each other after marriage, but from their teens when other friends started making friendships, they started praying for a companion. Their death won`t depart them. They will meet again in Paradise to spend eternity together. Inspiring, motivating and striving to make each other better because you want to see each other in Jannah, that is real love.

Microsoft confirms it will not be releasing cheaper, or new Xbox One consoles anytime soon
By: Anthony Garreffa from Feb 5, 2014 @ 1:29 CST
It was only yesterday that we reported that Microsoft is working on a cheaper Xbox One, but the software giant has denied the rumors of a new Xbox One console, whether it arrive as a cheaper model, or price cuts to the current console.
Microsoft's Chief of Staff for Devices and Studios, Aaron Greenberg, said in a Twitter post when asked if the rumors were true: "No, you cannot believe everything you read on the internet". Well folks, it looks like we shouldn't expect a Blu-ray less Xbox One, or a cheaper model anytime soon.

I have never attended a Retreat before and just started my yoga exercise journey approximately 12 months ago, very serious and dedicated for the past 8-9 months. I have seen my body transform to a leaner, stronger and toned version with generally healthy eating. I also experienced a calmer mind. as a connection to my body.
I first hesitated to join Umang's Rereat but decided I needed some help to sort through some emotional and frustrating life challenges. After our first day of Retreat, , I felt so uplifted and relieved after meditating and learning ho to journal as writing down all of my life concerns, dreams and actions. After speaking with my daughter the first day, she could tell that I was so much calmer and content.
I made some wonderful new friends that opened their hearts and souls to me which I truly cherish.
I feel like I can take the tools I have learned in Umang's Retreat to take the next step out of my emotional grief and accomplish my life dreams.
Thank you to my wonderful new friends. Elaine Francisco
I went on Umang's Wellness Haven 2014 Spring Retreat to San Damiano in Danville, CA and had a wonderful time!

The intimate setting let me get to know some great omen I look forward to counting as friends. Thank you Umang for this opportunity.
Deborah Bennett
I attended Umang's Spring Cleansing Yoga Retreat with Umang and other wonderful ladies. We were focused on using journaling to help us start manifesting our dreams. This was an awesome experience, helping me find a doable, actionable path back to my dream. A path back to the song of my soul. Thank you, Umang, you are awesome, like a hummingbird dancing in the sky. Love you
Sara Kimber
I have been processing everything that happened on our retreat and it all boils down to blossoming for me. Like a flower bud, it takes time, patience, and the right elements for blossoming to occur. I believe everything we needed to blossom was there for us at the retreat and now the bud is opening to share its beautify with the world and spread the fragrance of love so it can pollinate and spread more.
It was such an honor to be in the presence of each of you beautiful ladies and watch the blossoming begin. I have taken each of you into my heart and will carry you with me. It was no coincidence that we came together that weekend and I look forward to seeing what God has planned for each of our blossoms as we share them with this world.Thank you Umang for making the retreat happen and for guiding us on our way. You are such a beautiful inspiration and I thank God for bringing us together. I look forward to seeing you all again soon!
Dana Leipold
I joined Umang's Wellness haven in Jan 2013 mainly to try out some yoga and see if it would make any difference in my life. Little did I know that it would completely transform my life. I have become an annual member now and can't wait to go to her studio for yoga classes. When I started, I could barely do some poses. Over time, my body has become quite flexible and I can't believe that I am able to do some advanced poses as well! It has also helped me with handling stress better. I used to feel rushed and overwhelmed all the time, trying to balance work and family life. I feel doing yoga regularly has helped me calm down and handle things better. I am so grateful to have met Umang as she is a constant source of inspiration and encourages to take one step further, whether it's a yoga pose or something else in life. I also took part in Umang's nutrition program earlier this year, which brought another revelation in my life. Not only was I able to reach my goal weight and fat percentage, this program also taught me a unique way to experience food. Even months after graduating from this program, I continue to follow the principles of healthy eating. Thank you Umang for bringing such a positive change in my life !!
