Imam Bukhari:
An Introduction For New Muslims and Western-educated Muslims
by Kaukab Siddique, Ph.D
Shawwal 13, 1421/January 8, 2001, is the anniversary of Imam Bukhari's birth in 194 Hijri. His name is Muhammad and he was known as Abu Abdullah. "Bukhari" refers to his place of birth, the city of Bukhara, located in Tajikistan, 38 miles west of Samarkand.
I'll begin with two authentic Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) collected by Imam Bukhari. These teachings are very important in the Islamic culture around the world:
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrates:
The messenger of Allah was asked: Who is deserving of loving care and concern? He (the Prophet) replied:
YOUR MOTHER. And then whom (he was asked). He said:
Your MOTHER. And then? (he was asked) Your Mother (he said). And then? (the questioner continued). He said:
Your father. (al-adab al-mufrad by Imam Bukhari)
(Abi Bakra, Allah be pleased with him, narrates about Prophet Muhammad):
He said:
Your blood, your goods and your honor are as much protected and safe (forever) as in this day (of Arafa) in this month (of Hajj). Be aware and those of you who are here (today) should pass this on to those who are not here.
(Sahih of Imam Bukhari)
The revolutionary impact of these teachings can be understood if one realizes that Arabia (and the world) was a male dominated society in which there was no concept of basic human rights. The first Hadith puts a woman (the mother) as three times more important than the dominant male. The second hadith gives the protection of Islamic law to life, property and honor (especially the rights of women) and makes these rights as sacred as the holiest days of the Islamic pilgrimage.
Who was the man who made sure that these were authentic teachings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and hence teachings which must be integral to any Islamic community?
Abu Abdullah Muhammad, son of Ismail, al-Bukhari was sharp of intellect with a memory which has had few equals. HE MEMORIZED THE ENTIRE QUR'AN at the AGE OF 9. At the age of 10, he turned his attention to the study of Hadith. At the age of 16, following the performance of Hajj, he decided to stay in Makka and make the holy city the center of his studies.
A remarkable fact about Imam Bukhari's early life is that his basic teacher was his mother, a woman of great learning and Islamic awareness. His father Ismail was also an Islamic teacher of piety and learning but he died when the Imam was little.
As he forayed into his study, research and collection of Hadith, Imam Bukhari studied in the schools of Hadith led by the greatest teachers of his era Later, he himself became the teacher of the greatest scholars of his era. His final book of Hadith, known as al-jami us-Sahih, has been recognized around the world as a source book of Islam SECOND ONLY TO THE QU'RAN.
At that time Islam was a world power and the great and the powerful wanted to use the Qur'an and the Hadith to support their own version of Islam. The last of the SAHABA (companions of the Prophet) died in the year 110 after Hijrah. Hence the possibility of people misquoting the Prophet became very real.
Imam Bukhari understood that sponsorship by vested interests is detrimental to objective Islamic teachings. HENCE THE IMAM STAYED STRICTLY AWAY FROM THE POWER STRUCTURE. He was never a servant or courtier of any ruler, local, regional or national.
Secondly, IMAM BUKHARI AVOIDED USING HIS KNOWLEDGE TO ENRICH HIMSELF. Like Allama Iqbal in our own times, he seemed to have lived in the light of a (not so well authenticated) hadith of the Prophet that:
"Poverty is my pride." This is a self-imposed poverty for the sake of independence and openness to all ways of thinking beyond the "party line."
He would earn his living by trade and as a merchant and then would give away his profits, thus returning to his meagre means. On some of his journeys, he almost died of starvation rather than beg the local bigwigs for help.
In his research on Hadith, he set standards which are stricter than any known even in our own times of immediate technologically available information. Some of these need to be mentioned here:
Did a person who narrated Hadith from a Companion of the Prophet actually meet the Companion, and was that Companion with the Prophet in such-and-such incident?
What was the character of a narrator of Hadith?
What was his/her memory like? What was his/her age at the time of narration?
Was the chain of narrators complete, had a missing link in it or was it fabricated?
Which Hadith are linked to which verses of the Qur'an?
Sometimes partisans can speak the truth. How does one accept Hadith from narrators who were Shi'ite, Khariji or pro-Caliph?
Honest collection of Hadith if objective rules apply but the content is not appealing. (Thus the Hadith literature is an uncensored account of how the SAHABA saw, heard and thought of the Prophet and his era. It leaves critical commentary to scholars and application/implementation to mujtahideen who use their reason to understand the Qur'an and the Hadith.)
The Zionist Jews who want to destroy Islam have been spreading doubts about Hadith. Goldziher and Schacht's work against Hadith has been fed into missionary publications. From here some sincere but mislead Muslim scholars picked up the attack on Hadith. One important misled but sincere person was Ghulam Ahmed Pervez who wrote extensively against Hadith. Dr. Fazlur Rahman sincerely believed that the ISNAD or chains of narration of Hadith had been invented in the third century of Islam. His work gained popularity among western-educated Muslims till Dr. Azmi published his research which showed not only authenticity of ISNAD but also that Hadith was written down in every era of early Islam, starting with the time of the Prophet and the Sahaba.
Some misled sectarians believe that Bukhari's Hadith narration was meant to help the Ummayed rulers who had, according to the sectarian line, "usurped the right of hazrat Ali" to be the Caliph. This idea is totally absurd because Imam Bukhari was not alive during the entire Ummayad dynasty. The Ummayeds ruled Rajab 60 hijri to zulhijjah 132 hijri and 4 years of turmoil after that. Imam Bukhari was born in 194. So he could not have been influenced by the political power of the "ruling Ummayads."
There are others who see traces of Shi'ism in Imam Bukhari's collection. These again are off the mark. The Abbasids established their regime in 136. When the greatest Abbasi, Haroon ar-Rasheed, began his rule, Imam Bukhari's birth was still one year away. When the powerful Mamun ar-Rasheed was ruling, Imam Bukhari had just started his studies and had moved to Makka, which was outside the Baghdad orbit of Abbasid influence.
Some misled people believe that most Hadith must have been false and hence Imam Bukhari selected so few out of "six million." This idea is based on total lack of understanding of Hadith. In Hadith studies, not only the mtn (the text) of what the Prophet said but also each chain of narration (sanad) of that hadith counts as one hadith. Thus the first text in Bukhari's SAHIH:
"Actions shall be judged by intentions ..." had 700 chains of narration; hence in Hadith literature that one text would count as 700 hadith.
Some people justify their own ignorance. They think that Bukhari was a narrator of Hadith which he was not. He was a researcher, compiler and collector.
Still others attack Bukhari to INDIRECTLY ABUSE, INSULT and DISCREDIT the sahaba (again a sectarian hand is often at work here). How come Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrated so many hadith? Didn't he live in Ameer Muawiyyah's palace? etc. The life of the Prophet (pbuh) (other than what Imam Bukhari compiled) shows that Abu Huraira used to spent a maximum of his time listening to and collecting the teachings of the Prophet, memorizing and writing down, while others lived more "normal" lives.
Hazrat 'Ayesha, Abu Huraira and other mukassirin (those who have narrated many hadith of the Prophet), lived for many more years than some of the key figures among the Prophet's companions. They were asked questions by newcomers who were flooding into Islam and hence taught much more. Other greats like Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali (Allah be pleased with them) were not available to so many people after the Prophet died. The last three were assassinated. Hence owing to historical reasons, some narrators narrated more than others.
Some readers among our westernized elites object to the pre-scientific and pre-"modern" lifestyle which often appears in the Hadith literature including that of Bukhari. The Prophet had to go out into the desert to urinate, etc. The Prophet bathed out of a bucket along with his wife (shocking! eh). The Prophet talked about women's menses and women among his companions talked about Muslim's duties related to sex and "private" life. On expeditions when food ran out, the Muslims had to decide whether to eat lizards. The Prophet had fine tastes but did not want his companions to starve. What happens if a fly falls into a bucket full of food or solid shortening? Worse, what if a rat falls in? Should the entire food supply be thrown away? (in a culture of scarcity).
Also many readers find Hadith irksome simply because they don't want to study patiently. They rush to the assumption that the headlines provided by Imam Bukhari are also Hadith. Or they take it that the words of a Sahabi and the words of the Prophet are supposedly of equal value because they are in Sahih Bukhari.
Where Imam Bukhari provides a narration which shows the low esteem in which women were held at that time and then a narration from the blessed 'Ayesha which shows the Prophet changing those attitudes with his authoritative words, our misled friends do not see the connection and consider it a "contradiction." Same applies to war time lack of rules in those days (taking slaves, taking part-time mistresses, muta', temporary marriage, etc.). The misled people see the narration about what used to happen and DO NOT SEE what the Prophet did to stop them and how he went about it stage by stage.
Scholarship of HADITH of course preceded Imam Bukhari and he was one of a galaxy of greats, even though the greatest. I am presenting Imam Bukhari because Shawwal 13 is coming up and because the misled people think they can destroy the entire corpus of Hadith by attacking Imam Bukhari.
(Note: The Jews think they have done enough against Hadith, leaving the Munkareene Hadith to do the rest. They have started concentrated attacks on the Qur'an. The Hindus have joined them.)
I offer this article to the Ummah with all humility. If you like it, please distribute it. If you find errors, do let me know.
And Allah is the only One Who knows all.

iPad – Why I Won't be Getting One
Image via CrunchBase
Yesterday, as everyone already knows, the iPad came out, to the excitement of millions of people. Now, I'll agree that this device is revolutionary, although I haven't actually laid my hands on one just yet. I decided not to go to the Apple store yesterday to try one out, despite my geek urges to touch the new Apple gadget. I also decided that in this first round of iPad releases, I won't be getting one. For one thing, this fingerprint resistant coating that is supposed to be on the iPad has been reported to be not fingerprint resistant. Also, I do not believe that I will be able to charge the thing on my early MacBook, because the USB ports may not be powered enough. I still think that this is a big mistake by Apple, as the majority of their users are still using these older Macs which may not be able to charge these devices. If I were to be planning to buy one, I would definitely be waiting for the 3G one anyways. And that's not supposed to ship for a while, so there's a major roadblock for me. It also has no camera, which I really want to see in this device. Until then, I probably won't be buying one. I expect a camera in the next iteration of the iPad, so then I may get one. We'll just have to wait and see.

Bird of paradise (Strelitzia) is an exotic tropical plant with flamboyant blooms that resemble the head of a colorful bird. A large, dramatic plant that can grow as tall and wide as 5 feet, bird of paradise is generally unsuitable for most indoor environments. However, dwarf or pygmy varieties that grow approximately 2 to 3 feet tall at maturity are ideal for the home environment, and will bring a bit of the tropics indoors.
Place bird of paradise where the plant will be exposed to at least eight hours of bright sunlight per day. If light levels are low during short winter days, supplement with a grow light.
Mist the foliage of the bird of paradise every day during spring and summer. Mist the plant two or three times every week during the winter months. Wipe the plant occasionally with a soft cloth to keep the leaves dust-free.
Keep the room moderately warm with temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees F and about 55 degrees at night. Don't allow temperatures to drop below 50 degrees F.
Feed bird of paradise twice monthly between March and September using a general purpose liquid fertilizer for indoor plants. Feed the plant only once every month during fall and winter.
Move the plant outdoors in a sunny location during the summer. Time outdoors will increase the chances that the bird of paradise will bloom.
Repot bird of paradise only when the plant becomes root bound and growth slows, or when the plant begins to require water more often than usual, as bird of paradise does best when the roots are slightly crowded. Move the plant into a container just one size larger. Fill the container with a high-quality, peat-based commercial potting soil.
Things You Will Need
- Grow light (optional)

The Child's Interests in Conflict
Volledige citeerwijze volume 41 European Family Law boekenreeks:
M.N. Jänterä-Jareborg (eds.), The Child's Interests in Conflict (2016, Intersentia, Antwerpen, ISBN 978-17-8068-346-1, xii + 206 p.)
The Child's Interests in Conflict addresses one of the most pressing issues of any multicultural society, namely the conflicting demands on children from minority groups or children born to parents of different cultural or religious backgrounds. What the family considers to be in the child's best interests and welfare in the studied situations is not shared by society at large. Each guided by faith, culture and tradition, society views the child to be exposed to a significant harm or risk of harm if certain traditions are followed, whereas in contrast the parents believe that their child is harmed or in harm's way if that tradition is not respected. Focusing primarily on Europe, the contributions in this book, written by internationally leading experts and with a interdisciplinary element, address situations of conflict regarding the child's upbringing and education in general, the shaping of the child's cultural or faith-based identity, underage marriages, circumcision of boys, the role of faith and culture in society's placements of children outside the care of their family, and the role of faith in cross-border child abduction and disputes over parental responsibilities. Attention is paid to the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and to less well-known national case law, as well as to recent national legislation, all of which show not only the complexity of the issues discussed but also the differing ways multicultural challenges are dealt with. The authors strive to answer, inter alia, how legal systems should navigate between the competing claims and conflicting interests without forgetting the main person to be protected, namely the child; and how the scope of tolerance, recognition and autonomy should be defined.

The size of a business is typically defined by its revenue, management and decision making structure, number of employees, level of output and number of customers served. However, the size of a business can also be deduced from its approach to financing and marketing.
Financing: Typically businesses are financed through loans (personal or business), venture capital, grants, personal savings and angel investors. The key difference between the options available to large and small businesses, however, is variety. Larger businesses tend to have access to a broader variety of financing options as they:
- Are often perceived to be less risky, since they've usually been in business longer and have developed reputations, and also have more assets that can be used as collateral. As a result the cost of borrowing (i.e. interest rates) for larger businesses tends to be be lower than it is for smaller businesses.
- Generally are better able to show that their idea is scalable and will generate large returns
Marketing: As with financing, both small and medium sized businesses tend to follow the same basic principles, the difference however lies in implementation. Differences in budget and approach for example are what differentiates small business marketing from that of larger businesses.
The figure above illustrates the business marketing cycle (How Small Business Marketing Differs from Big Business Marketing) for both small and large businesses.
What are some of the differences you've noticed between large and small businesses in your industry?

There's no doubting that Google's Project Glass is one of the best Geek toys that has yet to be released. Just the idea of the wearable technology being less than a year away has been a cause for constant and increasing fervor inside the tech world.
In an attempt to give everyone in the rest of the world a reason to start talking about Project Glass, Google has given a handful of DVF models one of the developer unit prototypes and had them walk out on stage during Fashion Week to show them off.
One of the least likely places you would expect to see anyone talking about Project Glass is inside the world of fashion. For these dedicated few, Fashion Week is one of the biggest events of the year. This week is one where models walk the stage and photographers from around the world capture them in the latest gear from every major designer. This year, equipped with the camera in a Project Glass unit, some of the models got to fire back.
The DVF Google+ page is filled with photos taken by the models wearing Project Glass. These photos have been uploaded straight from the units, and include a little bit more insight into how these units interact with Google+.
The photos are uploaded using the same rules as the Google+ app for iOS or Android, and the photo details are now completely filled in. Previous Glass photos were were missing any real information. These photos are published at 2048 x 1536, which is the default resolution for Google+, and the photos are labeled as having been taken from "Glass 1".
It looks like all the photos on the DVF page were uploaded straight from Glass devices, and there are no obvious signs of photo editing of any kind. It's not clear whether or not the models were intentionally taking the photos, or if the camera app was set to take the shots at pre-determined intervals as we've seen in previous Glass demonstrations.
Putting Project Glass into the mainstream for attention is an incredibly valuable experiment. The idea of a wearable computer is still pretty sci-fi to most people, and events like this will help raise overall awareness. For the moment, Google's Project Glass seems to be leading the charge, but I doubt it will be long before we see real competition in this emerging market.

I wouldn't have the life I have today if it were not for my great attorney and good friend, Mr. Paul Petruzzi
"When I first met with Mr. Paul Petruzzi I was at the end of my rope. I had already hired another defense attorney and had paid him thousands of dollars up front. He had done absolutely no work at all on my case and when I questioned him, he told me I needed to face the fact that I was going to prison. I couldn't believe it. Fortunately for me, I had a friend that knew Paul and suggested I go see him. (He actually had tried to get me to meet with Paul before I hired the other attorney but I thought I would be better off going with someone local). I drove three hours to Miami, Florida with the weight of the world on my shoulders. I left Paul's office that day with a renewed hope in my future. Paul didn't just tell me he would work hard on my case, he actually did it. He knew the law and had the experience to dig into the evidence of my case. He kept me informed at all times and never left me in the dark. The day that I walked out of the courtroom a free woman was the beginning of a new life for me. I wouldn't have the life I have today if it were not for my great attorney and good friend, Mr. Paul Petruzzi."
Paul is a great person and a great attorney.
"I met Paul in 2009 when I was charged in my federal criminal case. Initially I didn't know what to expect; this being my only experience with a lawyer. However, from the first time we met, he set my mind at ease and worked diligently to represent me. He kept me informed every step of the way all the way to my acquittal. Paul is a great person and a great attorney. He was truly my blessing from God."
We without any reservation recommend Petruzzi Law, to anyone who needs an attorney.
"Mr Petruzzi is a great attorney. We had never been in any kind of trouble with the law, less one that required his expertise, not only was he a great attorney, but he also is a wonderful person. He worked endlessly on Javier's case, and kept Javier and his family up to date on what was happening at all times. Needless to say, the outcome of his case was 100% better than expected. We without any reservation recommend Petruzzi Law, to anyone who needs an attorney."
I encourage anyone with a legal matter to hire Mr. Petruzzi
"My name is Laveaux and I am a client of Mr. Paul Petruzzi . Let me start out by saying that Mr Petruzzi is an excellent attorney . From the beginning of my legal situation, he was very helpful and informative about my case . He always answered my phone calls and my e- mails and also my family always got him over the phone , plus he has done great research concerning my case . While I was waiting to be sentenced he visited me numerous times to make sure I was up to date on my case and also to make sure that I was being treated fairly at the jail. He fought hard against the government to get me a fair sentence , and I must admit I am very happy with the outcome of my case . I encourage anyone with a legal matter to hire Mr. Petruzzi , he' s one of the top 3 lawyers in Florida."
We do not know where we would be today if it was not for him
"Life can sometimes throws you a curve ball and when you are up against the federal government you need someone you can trust in your corner. When my husband was arrested on federal charges we had no idea what to do and Paul Petruzzi came to our rescue. From the first day we walked into the office we knew that he would defend my husband vigorously with his passion and belief in the system. Paul was non-judgmental which helped us to feel at ease and comfortable. Paul kept us informed every step of the way adding to our confidence. The stress throughout this ordeal was enormous but Paul and his staff were always there to calm our nerves and get us through. We are thankful every day that our paths crossed with Paul because we do not know where we would be today if it was not for him."

Help me to love me
When I'm lumpy and depleted
When I can't help others
When I can't spread joy
When I don't laugh at myself
When I have lost perspective
Help me love me
I wrote that reflection this week when I was just 'out of sorts'.
(What the heck are 'sorts' to be out of?)
Anyway, I'm sure you know what I mean.
Stuck, nothing working, cranky with me.
No get up and go.
All of that.
I know exactly what to do when doldrums happen, but when you are in the 'doldrums' it's action that is the hard thing to do.
Two things work for me. Either I do something kind for someone else (like writing my former mother-in-law that I love and don't write) or doing something kind for me. This time I chose me. Even so, the hard part is to get in gear. It took me four hours of lolly gagging around until I dressed and walked to the center of town in San Miguel. Movement is the most important part to kill the doldrums. I walked and I started to see interesting houses and plants and colors. I stopped and had coffee and a Mexican cookie. I began to enjoy. What a relief. I could still enjoy! I wasn't stuck any more. I wandered in and out of stores and bought little gifts for people. I stopped and watched a wedding party leave the main church in the square. I sat on a bench and went into a trance and watched people. It was soothing.
It doesn't matter at all why the doldrums happen.
Treat it like an act of nature. Not your fault.
Only matters that you know the doldrums won't last if–
You get your rear in gear and do something very different for yourself or someone else. Always works.
Look up 'doldrums' in the dictionary. Great word.

The oval track puzzle (also known as Top Spin) is a game consisting of 20 numbered tiles in an oval shaped track. Also, there is a fixed window (the swapping window) of 4 tiles that reverses the order of the tiles within the window, leaving the other 16 tiles fixed. The object of the puzzle is to reorder the tiles into counting order using the mechanisms of the puzzle. Previously, conditions for both solvability and non-solvability for the generalized oval track puzzle with n total tiles and k tiles in the swapping window were shown. We will now prove tight asymptotic bounds on the number of swaps needed to solve any configuration of a puzzle with n total tiles and k tiles in the swapping window provided that n and k yield a solvable case to begin with. These bounds will be asymptotic because we will assume that n grows infinitely and k stays fixed.

This year saw the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights movement so as homage to those who fought so hard to change the face of American Society, we decided to follow the Civil Rights Trail before continuing on to visit our family. Split into three different parts, according to the different areas we visited, this is my all-American family journey to discovering more about the nation's interesting past and Civil rights history whilst sampling the region's best bites. Along the way I go into detail about the epicurean delights we encountered.
A taste of the South on our Civil Rights Trail
Our first stop was Atlanta, where we visited the Martin Luther King Jr. Visitor Centre and also the home of Margaret Mitchell, author of 'Gone with the Wind'. We stayed in the Georgian Terrace opposite the world famous Fox Theatre, and after a long flight we decided to eat very close to home.
Opposite the hotel, and adjacent to the theatre, we discovered the casual bar/restaurant, Publik Draft House. Much to my husband's joy, they served an array of beers and for me the most wonderful cocktails, particularly the Bloody Marys, which were the best I've ever sipped! The ambiance is friendly and welcoming and you can choose to sit on stools, at the curved bar or select a table by the window. It's roomy and a great venue for a drink and light lunch/ supper. It is a perfect venue for a pre/apres theatre bite to eat.
With over 15 brews to choose from, cocktails and an excellent wine list you can drink with small plates to soak up the alcohol. The menu included everything from a humus platter to a selection of sandwiches and burgers (including gluten free and vegetarian), salads, a charcuterie selection, falafels, oysters and hand cut sweet potato fries. The more substantial plates include old favourites such as Fish and chips, Georgia shrimp and grits, Pork tenderloin and Maple Bourbon salmon. We opted for the small plates on this occasion which were excellent.
South City Kitchen
The following evening we chose to sample the delights of real Southern Cooking so selected a popular restaurant, namely the South City Kitchen, located within walking distance of our hotel. South City Kitchen lived up to its fine reputation. We arrived and were seated on the outside covered patio which was perfect as the heat of the day was subsiding. Mint Julep and Country Thyme Lemonade cocktails went down a treat whilst we browsed the menu.
Our aim was to sample the grits and taste some southern dishes that the restaurant was known for. First on the extensive dinner menu was – fried green tomatoes with goat's cheese and red pepper coulis, followed by so many mouth watering dishes that it was difficult to choose. We opted for the tomatoes and Maryland crab cakes washed down with a crisp white sauvignon from the Napa Valley; all were delicious. I have tasted green tomatoes many times but these had that added extra flavour, which clearly makes them a recognized favourite with many of the restaurant's regulars.
I couldn't resist the shrimp with grits for my entree whilst my husband opted for the buttermilk fried Springer farm chicken which he washed down with a glass (or 2) of Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley – I continued with white. Every bite was delicious and melted in the mouth.
I felt I should stop there however it was impossible to resist sharing a desert so we decided on the pecan tart with caramel sauce which added the final touches to an amazing Southern Experience.
The Southern Kitchen also offers diners a Gluten Free menu, so no need to worry about food allergies here.
On to Birmingham, Selma and Montgomery in Alabama
The next stop on our tour was Birmingham in Alabama, made famous during the Civil Rights Campaign when four young girls were killed by the Ku Klux Klan, during a bombing at their church, as they prepared for the Sunday Service. It was also the place where the police released dogs on crowds of young students taking part in a peaceful march.
This was a fleeting stop with just a one night stay, so not sufficient time to sample many culinary delights. In fact our experience here was not one to recommend. The lure of a casual gastro pub with outdoor seating tempted us. We found the venue – the J Clyde and were seated in a comfortable area perfect for people watching, however not for the food served. The service was average, the food less than average so no more to be said!
We drove to Montgomery next, the State capital where we settled into a hotel in the now, quiet city centre. We wandered around to survey what was on offer. The city dates back to slavery when it was a centre for the cotton plantation elite. There were weekly slave markets and in more recent times, the city's reputation grew when, during segregation the black seamstress, Rosa Parks, refused to move to the back of the bus and give up her seat to a white person.
Civil Rights Memorial
The city houses a moving Civil Rights Memorial, a Museum for Rosa Parks and visitors can also visit the Dexter Road Baptist Church where Martin Luther King Jr. preached. This contrasts with the sentimental Confederate relics of the First White House of the Confederacy.
In terms of eating and drinking Montgomery offers some very good dining options. We wandered around looking at menus and prices before we selected Central, a fine dining restaurant that occupies a historic warehouse dating back to the 1890s. There is limited seating outside and we were fortunate enough to reserve a table in this area for the very same evening. It is wonderful to enjoy the balmy evenings which fortunately weren't uncomfortable.
On arrival, we were ushered to our table and from that point we experienced the most attentive service from a resident waiter and a new recruit to the job. The restaurant has a reputable chef and is known for wood-fired dishes. If you ever venture this way, don't miss this restaurant, it's in the heart of the city, close to the river.
For starters we can recommend the pork jowl on cornbread and the honey goat cheese appetiser. To follow we tried the hickory crisped duck and the catch of the day. I couldn't resist the house cut fries or the wood fired vegetables. Everything tasted so fresh and we were informed by our attentive waiter that the menu changes regularly to match what is in season. I would also comment on the excellent wines recommended which were mid priced and complemented the dishes well.
The desert we selected to share was the milk chocolate creme brulee – simply wonderful. This is clearly one of the city's little gems for food.
Next stop Selma and Philadelphia, then south to New Orleans
Before leaving this wonderful trail, we drove to Selma, known for the demonstrations, police brutality and murders which were publicised across the world. The historic march from Selma to Montgomery, led by Dr Martin Luther King Jr. was instrumental in the Voting Rights Act which was passed the following year.
Selma and Philadelphia, where the Ku Klux Klan shot and killed 3 civil rights workers, were quick passages on our journey so no food experiences to report here. This ended our amazing and emotional trail but led the way south to New Orleans and the delights, both culinary and musically, of this magical city.
Food and beverages in New Orleans are not to be missed. This city is awash with restaurants and bars. We stayed in the French Quarter, just off Bourbon Street where the nightly action is at its best.
Music to die for resounds from every bar, and it covers all genres from country to jazz to blues to whatever you fancy. I loved the cocktails, particularly the skinny — which were pretty strong and not too sweet.
K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen
On our first evening we dined at K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen, a traditional Cajun restaurant headed by the owner and award-winning chef Paul Prudhomme. Paul has combined the experiences of his youth in Louisiana; with the expertise he has gained working throughout the United States. The result is worth tasting.
In a delightful venue with a relaxed sophisticated atmosphere, we enjoyed a traditional Cajun dinner. Our starter choice was to share a Cajun Jambalaya, which had a touch of spice that didn't detract at all from the glorious flavours of the many other ingredients. A wonderful basket of different breads lay on the table to tempt so we were glad we had decided to share.
We were advised by the sommelier as to which wines would enhance the flavours, it was a wise move.
For my entree I chose the Classic Crawfish Etouffee and enjoyed every mouthful, the richness of the sauce complemented the rice veggies. My husband chose the Duck and Shrimp Dulac which was served in a sauce of leeks, sun-dried tomatoes, and mushrooms, and served with pasta, a perfect accompaniment to this amazing concoction.
There was little room left at the end, however we shared the special Louisiana Bread Pudding and returned home feeling more than satisfied with such a wonderful meal.
We wondered how the restaurant Galatoire's, our choice for the next evening would compare to K-Paul's. We booked a table and arrived to find that my husband did not adhere to the required dress code – he wasn't wearing a jacket. The temperature even at past 8 pm was still in the upper 20s C so we assumed a shirt with long trousers would be acceptable, but this wasn't the case. The restaurant did have several jackets to offer so with a borrowed jacket, with sleeves almost up to his elbows, we were shown to our table. He did look ridiculous so it gave us a source of amusement!
Galatoire's is one of the city's most established restaurants with a legendary reputation so we were excited to sample some old Creole favourites.
The food was excellent and I choose one of my favourites to start – Shrimp Remoulade followed by Soft Shell Crab with lump crabmeat – it was to die for. My husband tried the Duck Crepe, which he loved, and followed this with Grilled lemon fish on a bed of spinach, and the most delicious potato au gratin, again distinctive and unique. We chose wines from California and ended our meal with a Key Lime Tart. This restaurant is a must if visiting New Orleans, if dinner doesn't suit then try lunch on a Friday. Galatoire's is at the top, in my experiences of Cajun/Creole delights.
The perfect accompaniment to an enriching cultural journey
And thus ends my culinary journey of food temptations along the USA's historical southern gems. As you have probably read, my food encounters were just as delightful (in all but a few exceptions) as the cultural experience to be had and the Civil Rights history from which to learn. Now you know where to stop and have a bite if you ever find yourself following the same trail.

|Anyone using a CRM with built in campaigns that can shake leads and sort into hot warm and cold and market cold and warm into hot in time? PM me if you do.
Have a FB ads System in real estate that creates a ton of leads but they need to be sifted and worked into deals. I have real estate CRM but need Matterport Service Provider System of campaigns and settings. Not afraid to spend money if you have Turnkey System

|RealtyJuggler is a good low-cost CRM ($99/year). It's geared toward real estate agents but is completely customizable and could be set up to do Matterport campaigns. It also has generic animated e-cards for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and other special events. They also have a free 90 day trial that requires no credit card to test-drive.
I've been using it for 3+ years now and feel it's good value for the money.
If anyone wants to try it, use this referral link. It gives you an extra 2 months free if you choose to buy it after the 90 day free-trial.

|Thanks Dude. I use Lion Desk because it is going to be a part of a real estate theme and idx combo with someone at the end of the year but I am looking for the campaigns and drips for the Matterport industry.
I have something that should bring in 100 leads a month but they are not all ready to order so I need drips that talk to each group and warm them up to wanting to order HD photos, video, drone, matterport, iguide, threesixtytours, etc.
I have a registration , review, seo, social media and Ad system for MP almost dialed in but if I had this last part then its something I can offer WGA members that I could say is turnkey and not having Media Provider figuring out the geek stuff and work on talking to buyers.
Please skip the comments to anything other than helping. I don't believe matterport sucks or the sky is falling. This is the best time to be in this business and I am looking for those that are producers that HAVE this already that I would agree to not sell in your market and would pay for the work if its all done and worth it. I have a meeting with a Lion Desk expert next friday to have them give quote on what it would run to do from scratch but if I can have a tested system already working for someone I would prefer going for that.

Lion desk is great for real estate, but for running multiple business'not so much.
I use engagecrm.io - its based off infusionsoft, but without the custom build out and 10k needed for what I wwanted. I run 3, about to be 4, separate business' off of it - calls, text, email, custom campaigns however you want to contact the person. you can also use it as a list builder with the different widgets it has, and it connects to practically anything via webhooks.
I have unlimited contacts/emails and pay .002 cents a text/call, as I was part of the beta when it was first released-not sure if there are limits now.
It is nowhere near as user friendly as liondesk, the learning curve isnt that bad though once you use it everyday, and gives you much more functionality.
The only other one that I have heard nothing but good things about is hubspot

ISTANBUL: Toyota Motor Corp will begin production in Turkey this year of a new hybrid engine car model with an investment of more than 350 million euros ($396 million), the Japanese automaker said on Thursday.
The investment will create more than 1,000 jobs and Toyota's Turkish production capacity will rise to 280,000 vehicles from 150,000 currently, European chief executive Johan van Zyl told a news conference.
"This is the first time somebody will make a hybrid vehicle in Turkey," he said. "The new model will be a crossover, a kind of SUV (sport utility vehicle), the entire world is moving to this kind of body style."
The investment will increase to 1.7 billion euros the company's total investment in Turkey. It has a factory in the northwestern province of Sakarya, where it produces Corolla and Verso models.
The new model's name will be announced at the Geneva car show which begins in March, Toyota officials said. Van Zyl said the vehicle would be exported to 53 countries.
Hiroshi Kato, chief executive of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Turkey, said the company exports 80 percent of its production and this level would rise to around 90 percent once it is in full-year production in 2017.

Online scams and rip-offs are the fastest growing threats to consumers and businesses in the UK. So having an efficient intelligence function is essential for protecting consumers and strengthening businesses so they can trade safely online.
We work closely with a team of intelligence specialists who collect, and analyse intelligence in order to identify key threats and scams.
The NTSeCT uses a robust methodology to provide an intelligence led focus for its own national investigations and supports local and regional Trading Standards officers with their online investigations.
We also work closely with other law enforcement agencies to share and disseminate useful intelligence in the fight against e-crime.
Enforcing e-crime is about successfully prioritising and managing online consumer protection. It aims to create a safer online trading environment for both consumers and businesses and to reduce consumer detriment (the money or products that consumers and businesses lose to criminals and rogue traders online).
This involves identifying and limiting the activities of criminals and rogue traders who have moved online to exploit the economies of scale and speedof the internet, to make money at the expense of consumers and businesses.
As such intelligence lies at the heart of the National Trading Standard eCrime Team's strategic and operational planning processes. And it also takes into account central and local government objectives, as well as the ensuring we provide value for money.

In the year of 1840, Ohio resident William Henry Harrison was elected President of The United States. Since the day of his election the Ohioans have referred to themselves as Buckeyes! In 1953 legislature designated the Buckeye as the official Ohio State tree.
According to folklore, the buckeye resembles the eye of a deer and carrying a single buckeye in your left pocket is said to bring good luck. The stag is known to be the king of the forest, the protector of all creatures. Native tribes of North America depicted the deer as a messenger, an animal of power and a totem representing sensitivity, intuition and gentleness. This reminds us of our own innocence and the fundamental need to be nurtured and protected.
If you could take luck with you everywhere, if you could keep it in your pocket at all times, would you? The Buckeye is just that, a symbol of hope and luck that you can call on when you're in need of good fortune to shed warmth and light. When you keep a Buckeye in your pocket just give it a little twist and keep it close when your heart drifts, for the wrinkles and trenches will remind you of a gift that we've been given when life shifts.
Our philosophy is to give freedom from active addiction, the tools to carry with you during your recovery and knowledge that life can and will get better. The symbol of the Buckeye, we gift to you.
"Grace is beauty of form under the influence of freedom." – Friedrich Schriller
The Founders
Born and bred in Ohio, brothers Ryan and Brandon Stump embrace the Buckeye folklore as part of their heritage. They have built a unique partnership here in Southern California and have helped thousands of individuals achieve long-term sobriety. They believe that everyone who walks through their doors is family, living by their late grandfather's dying words "smile and be happy."

Enjoy the world, Enjoy in the sea. This morning I wake up early, as usual, and think about what I am going to do for the following week with my soon to hang out together, you know is twelve years old I better bring new ideas that we both like. Then I remembered that we are both live have a good to enjoy the world and we love going to the beach to enjoy the sea.
I know that every year when the weather is warm before the summer even starts, I visit often Nautica Mile at Freeport long Island New-York, to just hanging out and have fun, eat some good meal at one of the outdoor restaurants and ride a jet ski for a couple of hours, but I always do that in solo.
I was this morning thinking to share this moment this year with my son, so I went online to book a reservation for two rental Jet Sky, and by chance or by targeting marketing, I hand up on the YouTube channel of Stephen Sharer " Share to Love" doing something secular and wonderful they called it a Jet Sky wheelie.
The video is fun colorful and inspiring I am not surprised why this YouTube channel 2,667,900 subscribers, the team behind this YouTubers Media are doing a wonderful job and on top of that there are mad funny, they youngsters love it.
I pick the phone to call my son to ask him if he would like to try a Jet Sky Wheely experience with me he told dad that awesome, and he engaged a long conversation with about it he told me that he saw that on YouTube before on Stephen Sharer " Share to Love".
Apparently, I was late with my good news, the trends have already beat me, my son is one 2,667,900 subscribers and next one is me, for other Dad's or Mam's from my generation and beyond I share this Viral Youtube video with you that may avoid you what I experienced as a parent being uninformed about what happened on YouTube and as a blogger as I am that's a shame.
The phone conversation with my son ended with this sentence: " Dad we gonna be Late this weekend, that's awesome". I told him why should we be late.
He laughs at me because in this case be late means " Amazing" he said dad you are so old you do not even know when something is Late, you mean awesome he said yes. I said okay I have to upgrade my vocabulary to better communicate with your generation then.
He said yeah you late dad, I replied okay you mean awesome. He laughs again so I said why.
He told me your vocabulary is old fashion in this case late mean uninformed. I told him okay to much for me in one lesson of IGen that's mean generation post-millennial Generation Z people like my son or your kids.
We end the call by wishing goodbye to each other. I will see you Saturday to Enjoy the world, Enjoy in the sea.

Configuration and use of the SURT003 and SRT5KTF Transformers
Published date: 25 June 2018
Browse FAQs
Looking at the back of the transformer, there is an Input Voltage switch on the left hand side behind a cover plate. Remove the cover plate, then set the switch to either 208v or 240v, depending on what you are feeding the transformer. Having the switch in the improper setting will cause the output voltages of the transformer to be off by +/- 15%.
The nominal output voltages with either a 208v or 240v input are as follows:
L6-20R (Qty2) - 208v (120v Hot, 88v Hot, Ground)
L6-30R (Qty1) - 208v (120v Hot, 88v Hot, Ground)
L14-30R (Qty1)- 240v (120v Hot, 120v Hot, Ground, Neutral)
5-20R - (Qty8) 120v (120v Hot, Ground, Neutral)
Please note that once your input is correctly configured, the output voltages are a direct ratio of the input.
Example: If the input selector is set to 208v, but the actual input voltage is 210v, you would see 210v from your 208v L6-30 output. All voltage regulation is performed by the UPS feeding the transformer.
If there is no power output from the transformer:

Motive irrelevant
Reader comment on item: Sudden Jihad or "Inordinate Stress" at Ft. Hood?
Submitted by Nick. N. (United States), Nov 10, 2009 at 14:45
A religion based on tenets of superiority over non-Muslims and a religious duty to expand and convert anyone they can, does not need a "motive." A motive is personal and purely individual in nature. Koranic doctrines are general, and allow no room for individual thought. Even considering converting or leaving Islam is punishable by death.
Has anyone heard any Muslim -- peaceable, moderate, or radical -- ever condemn or criticize Palestinians for training their youngest children, 7-13, at summer camps, for no other purpose in life but to kill? Children are taught the philosophy of martyrdom and how to achieve it. Parents proudly hold up their babies wearing mock suicide belts at rallies. Mothers have gladly accepted $25,000 rewards from Saddam Hussein for sacrificing their children for the cause of martydom.
Nor is it necessary to be a Jew living in Israel, formerly an arid and empty wasteland unlivable except by a few hardy Beduins. Simply look at any Christian enclave or minority area within any Muslim country and you'll see the same behavior. Infidels are infidels, and location does not matter. From Africa to Asia, Sudan, China, India, Indonesia, etc. have the same fears. Even France, where Muslims only make up around 10% of the population, already has it's own "no-go zones" where police and fire departments won't travel. Any country in Europe can break out in riots from a cartoon or 10 minute documentary.
Western concepts of individual motive is not a requirement.

"Think of it like a movie. The Torah is the first one, and the New Testament is the sequel. Then the Qu'ran comes out, and it retcons the last one like it never happened. There's still Jesus, but he's not the main character anymore, and the messiah hasn't shown up, yet.
Jews like the first movie but ignored the sequels, Christians think you need to watch the first two, but the third movie doesn't count. Muslims think the third one was the best, and Mormons liked the second one so much they started writing fan fiction that doesn't fit with any of the series canon."

Should you see the Ordway's Pirates of Penzance? A one-question quiz.
Minnesota Theater Love 8/7/15
The question is this: Do you like to have fun? If you said yes, then you should absolutely see The Pirates of Penzance, showing now through August 16.
There is so much to love about this production that it's difficult to know where to begin! The 18-piece orchestra kicks it off with a sprightly overture, by the end of which we have already met the pirates, and the pace never lets up.
As the Pirate King, Brandon O'Neill combines swagger and silliness in perfect proportions, and the rest of the cast follows suit. Hunter Ryan Herdlicka as Frederic has a beautiful voice and an appealing earnestness, while the ragtag pirates have excellent timing. They execute director James Rocco's choreography with pinpoint precision, leading to big laughs.
Soon, the ladies flounce onto the stage in all their pastel finery, including Mabel, beautifully sung by Anne Eisendrath, who is well-matched with Herdlicka's Frederic. As Major General Stanley, Gary Briggle is wonderfully pompous, and Kersten Rodau shines as Frederic's devoted servant Ruth. Dieter Bierbrauer and his company of police bring even more hilarity, while dressed as Canadian Mounties. Why? Why not?
The talented and hard-working cast run and dance continuously across the storybook set (designed by Tom Struge), singing, dancing, and swordfighting their hearts out for just over two hours. If the script and songs have been shortened, I didn't miss anything. The story, slight to begin with, is just an excuse for the songs and silliness. Every last cast member has moments to shine, and watching their work in the background is very entertaining. Most, if not all, of the cast participates in some way in the excellent stage combat, which you can read about here.
I can't say enough about this production. I cannot imagine how it could be any better. There was not one bit of it that I found lacking. Any show that makes the audience laugh, smile, spontaneously clap, and cheer is to be experienced by as many people as possible in the short time it's playing. What are you waiting for? Go!

The Devastation DLC brings the second episode of the new Extinction campaign.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 02nd, Apr. 2014 Under Article, Video News
Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Ghosts is due to receive its second major expansion pack tomorrow, and while the appeal of playing as the Predator in Devastation is enticing, we're more looking forward to continuing the new Extinction campaign. Check out the second episode "Mayday" in a new trailer above.
Mayday follows the first episode (Onslaught's Nightfall) in which a Quick Reaction Force is investigating a high-tech ship in the South Pacific. Aliens aren't very far behind though with the Seeder and gargantuan Kraken looking to derail your progress. Luckily, you'll have five new weapons and items to help you and your allies out.
The Devastation DLC will also include four new maps, new weapons and the aforementioned Predator. It will release for Xbox One and Xbox 360 via Live on April 3rd while other platforms will see its release later.
