Those who anticipate the worst for you say, "Were we not with you?" whenever you gain a victory from Allah, but if the disbelievers have a success they say, "Did we not have the upper hand over you and yet in spite of that keep the believers away from you?" Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection. Allah will not give the disbelievers any way against the believers. (Surat an-Nisa': 141)
All through history, hypocrites have rebelled against the truth and waged a war against believers from inside their community. As revealed in the verse ". . . But all might belongs to Allah and to His messenger and the believers. But the hypocrites do not know this" (Surat al-Munafiqun: 8), hypocrites have always claimed that they are superior to believers and will overcome them. Yet despite all these baseless claims, they have never been able to vanquish the believers. Messengers and the believers around them have always emerged victorious. This situation has persisted, just like a law, throughout history.
When events are viewed through the perspective of the Qur'an, the reason for this is easy to see. Allah never permits hypocrites to gain an advantage over the faithful. On the contrary, He overthrows them by means of the messenger and the faithful. Allah reveals in the Qur'an that He has warned all deniers, hypocrites included, who engage in actions aimed against believers and that He will punish them unless they put an end to their cunning activities:
If the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts and the rumor-mongers in Madina do not desist, We will set you onto them. Then they will only be your neighbors there a very short time. (Surat al-Ahzab: 60)
Allah also reveals, with examples, how He will always support sincere believers who turn to Him in all they do against the deniers. By means of Allah's help and support, His messengers have always secured victory, even under the most seemingly difficult conditions.
This is described with several examples in the Qur'an. One of these is Talut, who assumed command of the army in a war waged against the deniers in the time of the Prophet Dawud (as). Talut, placed in command of the believers due to his superior military abilities, made a number of recommendations to the army. However, a number of people of weak faith turned their backs on this advice, though they should have obeyed him, and acted in accordance with their own desires:
When Talut marched out with the army, he said, "Allah will test you with a river. Anyone who drinks from it is not with me. But anyone who does not taste it is with me—except for him who merely scoops up a little in his hand." But they drank from it—except for a few of them. Then when he and those who believed with him had crossed it, they said, "We do not have the strength to face Goliath and his troops today." But those who were sure that they were going to meet Allah said, "How many a small force has triumphed over a much greater one by Allah's permission! Allah is with the steadfast." (Surat al-Baqara: 249)
At the moment of battle, the hypocrites sought to create difficulties for the faithful by their sudden disobedience, though the believers displayed not the slightest disobedience and supported the messenger in the fighting:
When they came out against Goliath and his troops, they said, "Our Lord, pour down steadfastness upon us, and make our feet firm, and help us against this disbelieving people." And with Allah's permission they routed them. . . . (Surat al-Baqara: 250-251)
Allah grants success to believers and victory over the deniers in response to their sincerity and determination. While they enjoy great success in this world, and the approval and paradise of Allah in the Hereafter, deniers are cursed and punished by Him.2009-02-12 14:46:54

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Midori Sour! Green and delicious.
Green beer and wine is just plain wrong. Car bombs are offensive to the Irish. I'll stick with Guinness and Redbreast.
torturegarden wrote:Green beer and wine is just plain wrong. Car bombs are offensive to the Irish. I'll stick with Guinness and Redbreast.
What he said. Irish car bomb is offensive! Guinness!!! not green beer or wine!!
Non-green beer.
Obvious answer is obvious: Shamrock Shake.
Second only to the Harlem Shake.
torturegarden wrote:.......Car bombs are offensive to the Irish......
It would appear that you have never been to an IRA wedding because the car bombs flow like water at those things, and no one appeared to be offended.
Don't have one. Who cares? ;)
Guinness + Harp
The Irish Beer Shake at Red Robin is pretty awesome!
Many Bushmill shots!!!
Erin go braless!!!
curtisuxor wrote:Obvious answer is obvious: Shamrock Shake.

Can't beat a Shamrock Shake.
Peppermint Patty's.
(Coffee, ??, mint, whipped cream)
Jameson's Irish whisky.
Irish Coffee. Black Bush + Tanzanian Peaberry.
Jameson's and Guinness - Irish boilermaker.

Ok, it's not so much irish as south african drink... But it's green!
creme de menthe and amarula layered.
what can I say, I know a bunch of south africans.
Smithwick's and Tullamore Dew. But I won't say no to a car bomb or two. =)
It's Paddy, not Patty, ye goat!
To assemble an Irish Car Bomb:
Gather components...
3/4 pint Guinness® stout
1/2 shot Bailey's® Irish cream
1/2 shot Jameson® Irish whiskey
Add the Bailey's and Jameson to a shot glass, layering the Bailey's on the bottom. Pour the Guinness into a pint glass or beer mug 3/4 of the way full and let settle. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and chug. If you don't drink it fast enough it will curdle and increasingly taste worse.
The above taken from:
Never had one but I like all the ingredients separately so this year I'll give it a go.
Whiskey any which way. Excellent time to try new brands and enjoy your favorites. Plus some good ole fashioned Whiskey Sours always goes well for any occasion!
Black & tan beer. (Not sure if it's irish, but I sure do love it)
What's with all these "offended" namby pambys. Obviously, car bombs win. The only question is, what kind of detonator??
For the scientists (or not) out there:
Best drinking song since, perhaps, ever.
Ditto ! Well the Shamrock Shake part anyways. Second to none.
Bailey's and coffee!!
It's all about the green water. Healthy and green for St. Paddy's
Black and Tan
Highland Brewing's Gaelic Ale, very tasty.

"These were exactly what I was expecting and arrived faster than I thought they would. I bought them as my first Tiny Prints purchase and will DEFINITELY be buying more in the future. I highly recommend them!"
"My first ever tiny prints labels order and they look great! Love the colors and quality of the labels. Will definitely be ordering more."
"I LOVE THESE LABELS. They are just precious! They're so whimsical and happy and just great! I changed the font of the name so it's a little girlier and will probably get these same labels every time I move haha :) If you have a very long street address, you may have to shorten some things, cause there's no way to add a 4th line for apartment numbers or anything but it worked out great. So happy. Happiest around! :)"
"I'm not a huge fan of chevron, but these labels stuck out to me so I bought a sheet (I couldn't pick one design so I got 3 that order!). They are very cute! The fonts and colors work well with the design and they are perfect. :)"
"The quality was great! The labels were adorable, I used them to send out my baby's birth announcements but I plan to order more just to have for other occasions."

A source close to the Philadelphia Eagles told Yahoo! Sports that head coach Andy Reid will keep his job through Week 11. It is expected however that as soon as Philly is officially eliminated from playoff contention, Reid's job could end at any time. The source also added that Reid will "probably" be fired after the season is over and the tentative plan is to overhaul the entire coaching staff. General manager Howie Roseman is likely to be retained.
Fantasy Analysis:
The Eagles' ineffective offensive line has been their Achilles' heel all season long. OLs Demetress Bell, Danny Watkins, Dallas Reynolds, and Dennis Kelly have all struggled in pass blocking according to Pro Football Focus' analysis. Their run-blocking has not been much better either. To the Eagles credit, all of these players are still pretty young and may just need more time. If they can continue to improve as a unit, anything is possible in the future. In the here and now though, injuries to OLs Jason Peters, Jason Kelce, and the aforementioned Watkins has only made matters worse. Reid was given plenty of time to guide this team and he will land on his feet somewhere else, whether it is as a head coach or offensive coordinator.

Mephisto Men's Baduard Dark Brown Nubuck/Black Leather - The Mephisto Men's Black Nubuck Baduard is hard to describe, for its style is unique. It looks like a traditional moccasin mixed with a casual boat loafer. This shoe is constructed from soft black nubuck leather, the shoe's upper features distinctive white stitching that wind its way around a square moccasin toe. The shoe welcomes the tired and aching foot with calfskin linings and a roomy interior. The foot rests on top of a midsole made from latex and injected with air for improved cushioning. Dubbed Soft-Air technology, this system of injecting air into the midsole is popular among many styles of Mephisto shoes. The technology provides pressure point relief so that the body's joints remain protected through long hours out and about. A rubber outsole assists the latex insole in this important job. The durable outsole also features traction pattern for protection against potential slips.

Think you can't afford to go to college? Think again! IUPUC is one of the state's best educational values.
Even with the cost of tuition, books, transportation, and other expenses, the investment you make in your education will pay off in higher income over the course of your lifetime. On average, adults with a bachelor's degree will earn more than $1 million more than those with a high school diploma alone. In fact, those who have bachelor's degrees will earn about $2.27 million during their life, compared with $1.3 million for those who only have high school diplomas (The College Payoff, 2011).
We want you to concentrate on your studies—not worry about how to pay for them. When you have decided IUPUC is the right university for you, we can help you find the resources you need to earn a degree, like need-based financial aid, scholarships, student loans, grants, or work-study employment.
As you explore how to plan and pay for your education, we are here to assist you every step of the way.
Financial aid is available from the federal government, the state, the university, or nonprofit and private organizations. You may also be eligible for aid if you have served in the military, or if you are the spouse or a child of a veteran.
There is no age limit when it comes to receiving federal aid and most students are eligible. In general, you must demonstrate you have financial need, are a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen, and are enrolled in an eligible degree program. For details, review the basic eligibility criteria.
The Office of Federal Student Aid provides more than $150 billion in grants, loans, and work-study funds each year. To determine whether you are eligible for these funds, the first step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Be aware of important details and due dates for being admitted to IUPUC. Provide additional documentation that may be required as requested. Once we have reviewed your FAFSA information, application for admission, and other material, we can combine various types of aid into a package that will help you meet your educational expenses.
If you have questions, can't find the information you need, or want a personal appointment with a financial aid staff member, contact us.

Hellloooo. My name is William Barry. hehe. You can call me will.
I've been sitting for about 5 years now and wow what a trip. I sit everyday....well almost everyday, except for those mornings when I go "I'll have breakfast and then sit later." Well that usually just doesn't happen.
I live in Dalian, China, so there really isn't any zen centre anywhere. The closest one is Hong Kong I think.
Anyway, I enjoy painting and am currently going to start a watercolor comicbook(atleast that's what my ego tells me). HeHe. Maybe some of you like to paint too or do art.
I also teach English at a University Here. I have been teaching English in China for about 5 years aswell.
Ok. Talk to you later.

Alpari Grain Outlook 11/20
First things first, markets are closed Thursday day session and night for our Thanksgiving holiday and Fridays grains open at 9:30 central time and close at noon central time. It's a difficult week as we have a short holiday schedule as month-end winds down creating a lot of daily volatility.
Monday's first report was on the demand side with our weekly export inspections report. Wheat inspected for near-term shipment was 11.1 million bushels versus 10 the week prior, 13.7 a year ago and four week average of 12.5. Very weak demand signal as 25 m.b. or more is needed to push prices higher from a demand perspective. Corn inspections were 14.3 m.b. versus 9 the week prior, 37.8 year ago and four week average of 12. Slight improvement on the four-week average, but 30+ is needed to be price bullish. Bean inspections came in at 61.9m.b. versus 64.6 the week prior, 40 a year ago and four week average of 61.7. Exports remained good but leveling off even though we have dropped 1.70 the last two weeks. They should be better.
China was in for 46.8 of the total down from 47.2 last week and four week China average 47.5. Thinking is China is slowing US purchases as record bean planting winds down in South America. WXRISK.com the AG weather site has the next 6 to 10 day period in Brazil with widespread rain coverage with talk in the market China is canceling previous US purchases with intent to shift to South American ports from late February on out delivery, possibly dollars cheaper. Countries who gambled on good weather in South America and the US last year lost out and had to pay up big time as drought abound everywhere. It does appear to be different this year with above normal rainfall in Argentina and adequate in Brazil and longer-term forecasts are for a wetter weather pattern.
Wheat's crop condition report came out Monday after the close. It put our early emerging wheat crop at 34% good to excellent condition down 2% from the week prior, 50% a year ago and ten-year average of 57%. Needless to say this crop will go dormant among the poorest condition crops ever. Our four biggest winter wheat states all came in under the average with Colorado 19%, Oklahoma 13%, Texas 30 and number one winter wheat producing state Kansas 30% good to excellent. If this were a April report when yields are made or lost, we would be up on the day measurably but it's early emergence when wheat is in its weed stage and pretty sturdy and hard to kill. Demand is weak and looks to continue until year-end. The poor condition now only means we will be challenged when dormancy breaks next spring to find perfect weather to improve on. For now it's about demand.
It's a short week. Markets closed Thursday. Friday grains open at 9:30 central time and close at 12 noon. From Wednesday's close to our Sunday night openers there is only 2.5 hours for grains to trade and Friday is month-end. The squeeze usually creates one big up day as shorts balance out and one big down day as longs balance out and one choppy two sided day. So far shorts covered Monday and Longs were getting out into Monday night and Tuesday at midsession but then more short covering. Wednesday looks to be the choppy day. Friday is to be watched carefully as we have our weekly export sales report out ahead of the open and its week and month end all colliding to trade. Technicals read like this entering Tuesday. December corn support is 7.30 then 7.05. Resistance 7.45, 7.60 then 7.75. January bean support is 13.70, 13.20 then 13.00. Resistance 14.15 then 14.90. December wheat support is 8.30, 8.15. Resistance 8.50.

Talus Wind Ranch's heritage turkeys
Timothy Willms is one of a handful of ranchers across the country who are bringing back humanely raised heritage breeds, which live pretty much as they would in nature. Timothy's turkeys bear little relation to the typical factory-raised supermarket bird. His sleek Standard Bronzes and Rio Grande Wilds strut their stuff all over the enclosed pasture at his ranch, foraging and even flying when they feel like it.
The vigorous outdoor living, and the fact that they grow relatively slow, result in white meat that Timothy describes as a "beautiful soft almond" (versus pasty white). The dark meat is rich, moist, and the color of chocolate. "There's a truthfulness to them that we can taste," he says.

These players have dominated the game, made the game exciting and made it a lot more dramatic than it was in the past."'

Join us in April to Support the Sport
A Weekend to Support the Sport
Mark your calendars and join us April 21st and 22nd for two great events.
First Event - Day One
Saturday, April 21st, the Two Trackers Four Wheel Drive Club is hosting their 9th Annual Trail Clean Up in the Manistee National Forest of Muskegon County. This event serves two-fold. It aids the development of positive, collaborative, relationships between the National Forest Service, the Department of Natural Resources, and the four-wheel drive community, as well as removing tons of illegally dumped refuse from public lands.
This area is hit hard by illegal dumping because it acts as an urban interface between the Forest and the city of Muskegon. The Two Trackers and assisting volunteers from as far as Toledo, Ohio have already removed over 460 cubic yards of waste, 1,500 tires, over 60,000 lbs. of shingles, 3 abandoned vehicles (one stolen), and the makings of a meth lab. Come on out and have some fun while getting a dirty job done! See the EVENT FLYER (below) for details.
Second Event - Day Two
Sunday, April 22nd, the Two Trackers Four Wheel Drive Club and Great Lakes Four Wheel Drive Association are proud to welcome United Four Wheel Drive Associations Land Use Attorney, Carla Boucher to Michigan! She will speak about the top four-wheel drive issues facing Michigan and the Nation, the need for unification, support for the three-tiered system of representation, and address questions that enthusiasts may have, in an open forum, following the presentations.
Carla is deeply committed to the future of four-wheel drive opportunities in Michigan. She is currently assisting with the Appeal of the Huron-Manistee National Forest Plan to gain a more favorable position for our sport for the next twenty-plus years, opposing the unnecessary closure of roads through the Baldwin Ranger Districts M-37 Project, and the development of the FIRST 4x4 Route within National Forest lands in Michigan. See the EVENT FLYER (below) for additional information.
Support the Sport
Take a weekend off from wheeling to support the future of wheeling in Michigan.
Join us April 21st and 22nd

The National Forest Service LOVES the Clean Up event.
It's been a GREAT way to let them know we're 'good guys' too.
It helps them get to 'know' us in another context, other than just the guys who write those loonnggg trail proposals in response to their projects.
The NFS 'guy' who handles our Clean Up is also the 'guy' I dealt with for the M-37 Project comments and one of the Baldwin District personnel I brought out on a trail ride to show them our chosen form of recreation first hand. His attitude toward us had been determined years before I took him out into the woods. It was formed through my continued yearly contact with him setting up this event. He (and MANY more, now) knows we're here to stay and are the type of people who can get things done.
In other words, the perfect candidates for a collaborative effort to get meaningful 4x4 trails designated in the Forest.

Don't know for sure that I can make it, but I'd definitely like to help. If I can make it, I'll need to find some kind of trailer though, don't think it'd be much fun with a bunch of trash inside the XJ.
A stock XJ should be fine, right?

Show up, even if you can't come up with a little utility trailer. SOMEONE will have extra room, I'm sure. It always works out that way.
Even if you just follow their trailer and help them fill it.

Working on it, but I'm pretty sure I'll be there. Pat, I know last year you had a story in the Grand Rapids Press. Is TT or GLFWDA doing any kind of larger media promotion this year? PM me if you want some help with this.

As 3G becomes a staple part of every dumb and smartphone worth its salt the question has started to arise: what's next? The short answer is 'LTE' or 'Long Term Evolution' and the first commercial roll-out has already begun in Sweden.
The premise is phenomenal: the theoretical maximum of HSDPA will be raised from 7.2Mbit to LTE's remarkable 160Mbit - and that's just the first iteration. That said, there is much confusion about what this exciting successor can and can't do and when it might arrive to a wider audience. Consequently, I sat down with Jean-Pierre Bienaimé, chairman of the UMTS Forum, and Chris Solbe, communications manager at the UMTS Forum, to try and definitively sort fact from fiction.
Jean-Pierre, Chris the talk about LTE is starting to build. What should people expect?
CS: "As you say LTE is what people are beginning to talk about and rightly so. It is interesting in on lot of levels as delivery proposition broadband experience - we will finally get proper megabits on move and that's when mobiles get interesting with audio and video streaming experiences. LTE also has much better latency than 3G, it will bring another jump forward in terms of the user experience."
JPB "We prefer speaking of a typical average data rate than theoretical peak rates, HSDPA can go up to 14.4Mbits but it never delivers and LTE will begin at up to 160Mbits but what is interesting is to get the typical minimum rate and that will be reached by the customer."
I think this is where the excitement comes from. With so much more bandwidth available surely we should get a base speed that will reliably handle most things and perhaps better coverage?
CS "{Regarding coverage} Not in itself but so much more comes with the LTE experience to make it better. For instance LTE can be used over lots and lots of different frequency bands which make it a very flexible technology. GSM or 3G operate in much narrower bands."
JPB "When you look at the trials, the tests by which networks measure throughputs and users per cell. Just one user on a cell would get 160Mbits but this has to be divided by the number of users. Most important is that the minimum is insured for the customer. Say 2Mbit is ensured with an average of 4/5Mbit all the time, not the 160Mbit you will get in ideal conditions. What is very important is the end to end communication."
This is the issue. If HSDPA really ran at 7.2Mbit there would be no worries, if Wireless G actually produced 50Mbit there'd be no need for Wireless N. You need a bigger pipe. Will LTE scale as HSDPA did from 1.8Mbit to 3.2Mbit to 7.2Mbit?
JPB "Yes, there are several levels, 300Mbit is the theoretical top. With this type of technology beyond that you begin to hit the limits of physics. For full performance LTE needs the widest bandwidth possible. The benefit is its spectrum efficiency and spectrum flexibility. It can operate all the way from 1.4MHz up to 20MHz."
CS "It's a big chunk of contiguous bandwidth which means more users can get a better quality of service. If you're an operator you want the biggest amount of spectrum space possible and the beauty of LTE is it scales so you can prioritise it differently for speed or coverage depending on whether you are in a city or more rural area. And don't forget LTE can help decongest the 3G network by moving away the heaviest users so the benefits can be two fold in both the new standard and for the existing one."

Employees participating in phased retirement will be paid for the part-time service they continue to provide the government and will receive additional credit for that service toward their full retirement. These employees will also begin receiving annuity payments, consistent with the retirement benefits they were entitled to prior to entering phased retirement status, pro-rated for the portion of the workweek they spend in retirement.
When the Phased Retiree fully retires, the revised annuity calculation will provide pro-rated service credit for additional time worked during phased retirement.
This law incents participants with valuable experience to phase into retirement by providing phased retirees with more income than they would earn working part time, and more income than they would earn by fully retiring. Once these individuals fully retire, they will be entitled to a greater annuity than if they had fully retired at the time of transition to Phased Retirement, but less than if they had continued employment on a full-time basis during the period of Phased Retirement.

Limbaugh lied about 9-11 Commission report, Atta meeting in Prague
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
Radio host Rush Limbaugh lied about a recently released report by the 9-11 Commission: He falsely claimed that the report confirms Vice President Dick Cheney's claim that September 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta may have met with an Iraqi intelligence officer in April 2001. Limbaugh directly contradicted the report while purporting to summarize it.
From the June 17 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: The [9-11 Commission] report said that Mohamed Atta did meet with an Iraqi Intelligence Agency, or agent, in Prague on April 9th of 2001. We've known this for a long time.
From the 9-11 Commission "Staff Statement 16":
We have examined the allegation that Atta met with an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague on April 9. Based on the evidence available -- including investigation by Czech and U.S. authorities plus detainee reporting -- we do not believe that such a meeting occurred.

The author of the best-selling Java in a Nutshell has created an entire book of real-world Java programming examples that you can learn from. If you learn best "by example," this is the book for you.This third edition covers Java 1.4 and contains 193 complete, practical examples: over 21,900 lines of densely commented, professionally written Java code, covering 20 distinct client-side and server-side APIs. It includes new chapters on the Java Sound API and the New I/O API. The chapters on XML and servlets have been rewritten to cover the latest versions of the specifications and to demonstrate best practices for Java 1.4. New and updated examples throughout the book demonstrate many other new Java features and APIs.Java Examples in a Nutshell is a companion volume to Java in a Nutshell, Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell, and Java Enterprise in a Nutshell. It picks up where those quick references leave off, providing a wealth of examples for both novices and experts. This book doesn't hold your hand; it simply delivers well-commented working examples with succinct explanations to help you learn and explore Java and its APIs.Java Examples in a Nutshell contains examples that demonstrate:

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Java Examples in a Nutshell, Third Edition, is an alligator. There are only two species of alligator: the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), found in the southeastern coastal plain of the United States, and the smaller Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis), found in the lower valley of the Yangtze River. Both alligators are related to the more widely distributed crocodile.The alligator is a much-studied animal, so a great deal is known about its life cycle. Female alligators lay 30 to 80 eggs at a time. The mother allows the sun to incubate the eggs, but stays nearby. After about 60 days the eggs hatch, and the young call out for their mother. The mother then carries or leads them to the water, where they live with her for a year.Alligators eat a varied diet of insects, fish, shellfish, frogs, water birds, and small mammals. Alligator attacks on humans are rare. Although normally slow-moving animals, alligators can charge quickly for short distances when they or their young are in danger.Alligators have been hunted extensively for their skin. The American alligator was placed on the endangered species list in 1969, then declared to be out of danger in 1987. The Chinese alligator remains on the endangered list. Genevieve d'Entremont was the production editor and copyeditor for Java Examples in a Nutshell, Third Edition. Emily Quill, Reg Aubry, and Claire Cloutier provided quality control.

Comments about oreilly Java Examples in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition:
I read this book way back in 2007. I think it is a great book with lot of code, that is practical and can be used directly, most of the time. From GUI in Swing to database access using JDBC the author covers a good range of topics in java development. I surely wish to see an updated version covering Java 8.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very good, even without Java In a Nutshell as a companion!
By Anonymous
from Undisclosed
I think that this is a very good book. I do not yet have the original Java in a Nutshell book (just ordered it), and yet, I can still learn very effectively with this book. this goes to show that these examples are so exemplary that i can learn Java solely by studying them. A must have!

Great Britain has for centuries actively fought for the rights of oppressed people, but hidden within the exterior sight of a nation dedicated to freedom, there has always been a hidden racism and disdain for those who are different. Oxford University is investigating a student party organized by the rugby squad at which others were invited to attend as a Jew. Now, what does it mean to Oxford students to "bring a fit Jew?" In their ignorant biased minds, that means come dressed as an Orthodox Jew and carry a bag filled with money. After all, Jews have money, don't they? In fairness, the Oxford University Student Union tried persuading the schmucks on the rugby team to change the theme to "bring a fit girl."
The captain of the rugby team, Phil Boon, said, he "didn't see what the problem was. I can understand why it might have offended some people, but it would have been an awesome party." It is amazing how historic stereotypes of Jews remain embedded in the minds of well educated members of the British elite.
Oxford University has launched an investigation into the party. How about expelling a few of these spoiled rich brats!! After all, they shouldn't have any financial problems if everyone brought a bag filled with Jew money!

Canadiens coach Michel Therrien was asked after Thursday's practice in Brossard if he would use defenceman P.K. Subban more if he were coaching Team Canada in Sochi.
"I don't want to second-guess the coaches there because I've been second-guessed enough," Therrien said.
Therrien added that he's rooting for Team Canada.
"In situations like this, I'm just a fan, and it's Canada all the way," the coach said.
The Canadiens players who aren't in Sochi practised for the second straight day Thursday in Brossard and for the second day the club recruited some extra players to join them.
After former Hab Jocelyn Thibault was in goal Wednesday, Jimmy Waite – the brother of Canadiens goalie coach Stephane Waite – put on the pads Thursday along with former minor-leaguer Martin Houle. Former Habs forward Sebastien Bordeleau also took part in the practice along with three members of the NAHL's Laval Braves.
Jimmy Waite was the Chicago Blackhawks' first-round pick (eighth overall) at the 1987 NHL entry draft and played with the Blackhawks, San Jose Sharks and Phoenix Coyotes.
Michael Bournival, who continues to suffer from concussion-like symptoms, didn't take part in the practice, and neither did Brandon Prust, who has an upper-body injury. Both are listed as day-to-day. Davis Drewiske was also absent after his mother died on Wednesday.
Alex Galchenyuk is fully recovered from his broken hand and has been cleared for contact.
"We brought in the extra players to help us in practice," Therrien said.
"The one thing that has impressed me is that the (Canadiens) players showed a lot of discipline during the time off and they all came back in good shape."
The four Canadiens players who were already eliminated at the Sochi Olympics – Peter Budaj, Andrei Markov, Alexei Emelin and Tomas Plekanec – were expected to arrive back in Montreal on Thursday, but won't practise with the Habs until Monday. Carey Price and Subban remain in Sochi with Team Canada, while Max Pacioretty is with Team USA. Canada faces the U.S. in the Olympic semifinals Friday at noon ET.
The non-Olympic Habs will practise Friday and Saturday in Brossard at 11 a.m. – with no media availability – then have a day off Sunday before taking to the ice again Monday at 11 a.m.
The Canadiens' first post-Olympic game will be Wednesday night at the Bell Centre against the Detroit Red Wings. The next night the Canadiens will face the Penguins in Pittsburgh.
The AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs are at the Bell Centre Friday night at 7:30 p.m. to take on the Binghamton Senators.

|Glad we arent the only ones! Atlas will freak out if one of us goes ahead on a walk, he gets a shrieky whine going and we look crazy. He also does this is one of us gets out the car. I went to get coffe while Atlas and my bf stayed in the car and he freaks out when I leave, people look at us funny :/ any advice does help!
|I also glad to have found this thread i have this same problem. He heels so nice on a leash but if we are all together and a family member walks to far ahead he looks like a out of control nut. Pulling, wining, jumping up in the air. I put him at a sit stay but the minute we start moving its the same thing. If i take him and wAlk him in a different direction he calms down but sometimes that is not an option. He now starts jumping up on the kids when they leave for school. I have to put him a sit stay or on the leash or in the crate. When we all leave the house he is fine in his crate and does not fuss.
|Studleys mum
|I have the same issue with my 12 month old, I'm so glad it isn't just us, it's really hard to take him to the park with the kids as when the kids go off and play he is just besides himself, pulling, winging and tries anything to get to them people look at us as if he's crazy he just can't stand to when someone leaves his "pack" but he is totally fine being left at home, so can't work out is it really separation anxiety?
I just started trying something tonight with our 9 month old.
If someone leaves the group or comes back she pulls in their direction like a freight train, if I leave the group with her she carries on the same way or makes a whiney I'm worried for them type of bark.
So tonight when the family went for a walk, I walked ahead with her at heel at a nice pace and kept her attention forward when ever she tried to look back, at each corner we stopped and sat in a heel position while we watched them walk towards us.
1st corner as the family got closer I praised, and kept repeating stay and rubbed her between the ears and just before they got near us, I about turned and heeled away to the next corner. 2nd corner same deal, except she broke as my son ran up and she started pulling towards him, I corrected her and brought her back to a sitting heel, as the rest of the family got closer she broke again but I corrected her and when she was calm we moved on, 3rd corner we sat and waited and I let the family know to keep walking and not look at her, she tried to break but nothing to bad she wanted to watch them walk away while sitting in a heel and then we followed and she pulled like a train as normal, but I just corrected her and heeled and she settled down and then we picked up the pace and caught up, and sorry for a bit of gloating here but I'm very proud of her atm and how quickly she learnt to control herself, coz the 4th corner she actually sat and waited, didn't break, the mrs and I talked and she said hello to Belle and when I released her from the heel sit she went and said hello to the family, normally she would of been going crazy like she hadn't seen them in months.
I'm going to keep doing it each time more then one of us go on a walk, let her get more relaxed with me leading her away, waiting etc, and then let the wife or eldest lead her while they walk away from me, because after the last corner the wife took her and walked ahead as we got closer to home, Belle did go a bit stupid when they came walking back to us, but she said her pulling wasn't as full power as normal. I'm still chuffed at how quickly she did catch on and settle herself down though
Thanks. I'm going to try that.
You're right, he whines a bit when we leave him by himself but I think he is actually worse when one person leaves.
Im not sure this is true separation anxiety, just a natural response to wanting to keep the pack together. I believe this is also sort of a herding behavior, but don't quote me on that one. Does your dog exhibit any other anxiety when you leave him home alone?
I would just keep practicing. Have another pack member hold him, then walk a short distance away. Reward and engage him when he's calm. Then practice going a bit further/out of sight/for longer periods of time. He should get better.
|I'm glad it's not just Apollo
|I will be watching too. I have a 12 month old that whines, cries really loud if either of us walks away. In fact we have to stay within the leash's reach so he can go check on everyone with his nose. It's cute but can become annoying when two of the boys want to go running ahead. I've tried letting them take him, but then he will look back and discover I'm not behind them and then cry to come back. My other two dogs, small breeds, couldn't care less.
|We have the same issue with our 11 mo. old. Sometimes it's very hard to deal with her if one of us has to leave the pack when we are out. We haven't found a good working solution yet, either. So, I will be watching this thread to see what others have to offer.
|Harry and Lola
|I think with time and the wisdom of age, he may settle down. They hate their pack separating, my 2 are 5yo and 3yo and if one of us ventures off, they will still be very alert to the fact and if possible go looking or just sit and wait. With the vocal part, imo it is nerves/anxiety at the pack member leaving the group, with trust and experience he will settle down - but they don't like it.

'"We drafted him because he is a smart hockey player," said Jim Benning, Buffalo's director of amateur scouting. Benning played for the Winter Hawks from 1979-81 and spent nine years as an NHL defenseman for Toronto and Vancouver. "Hockey sense is something that can't be taught," Benning said. "You can get stronger or develop a harder shot, but there's nothing you can do to make yourself a smarter player. And Mike has that."'

As I mentioned on twitter, my peer Jeanne Murray and I are presenting a session at the Enterprise2.0 conference in Boston next week that describes an overall view of how we think e2.0 has evolved in our organization. The focus here is not on the technologies themselves but on the human capabilities, interests, and mindset as it has evolved over time. It talks about what we used to think about social computing and how that as changed or evolved with each stage.
This sort of view on evolution is not something that is absolutely decisive. With a multinational organization such as ours, it does not necessarily mean that every corner of the organization is at the same level. The reality is that many locations are still at Stage 1 while others are very well into the later stages. We use the stages to describe how some groups have progressed in their thinking and approach to how they employ social computing in their work.
I don't plan to describe the entire presentation here but I wanted to share the intention of our session and give an example of a stage. In discussing the idea, Jeanne and I formulated five stages of this evolution:
- Stage 1 – Seeing a need for social computing in business
- Stage 2 – Recognizing the business uses and value
- Stage 3 – Bringing people together into a common frame
- Stage 4 – Building better social-enabled processes
- Stage 5 – Shifting the overall perspective to a dynamic, agile mindset
For example, we entered Stage 2 when the mindset (in stage 1) progressed beyond thinking of social computing as something just for personal entertainment or for kids into recognizing the business potential. Within this stage, people have accepted there is a business need, but are still unsure about how or where it applies in specific use.
The focus in stage 2 is to articulate value and use cases. To do so, we needed to connect people's expertise and collect stories of their successful use cases. The glories of reaching this stage is that people are starting to become more connected beyond the possibilities of their existing location and organizational position; there are open networks and freer exchange of ideas; and new social-enabled tasks are vetted simply the degree of their adoption.
However, we also saw in this stage that the number of repositories and ways of describing and sharing expertise were exploding. There were multiple options for doing tasks in social tools, and people needed guidance on which ones made most sense. Our wide diversity of tools simply increased the many streams of information, and often randomness of information and people.
Stage 2 has some people starting to connect, but a recognition that for enterprise 2.0 to be valuable to the company itself (and not just on an individual level), we need to consider how we get the larger organization to do this all together (stage 3). This next transformation requires looking beyond how individuals benefit from social computing, to how groups and org units can work as a whole with this system.
Stage 3 then picks up from trying to unite the infrastructure and tooling, as well as clarifying what to use when.
I hope to see some of you at Enterprise 2.0. Our
session is on Wednesday June 16th at 1-2pm (twitter hashtag #e2conf-34).
We will post the slides next week for others to see as well.

2. Breckenridge, Colorado
Breckenridge, Colorado's recently relocated Park Lane park on Peak 8 is so primo-just as Donny Stevens. PHOTO: Chris Wellhausen
Early snowfall, that crisp Colorado cold, and a reputation backed by years of sculpting experience has the Freeway Superpipe sending riders through some of the best ivory-smooth transitions in the country. Terrain Park Manager Eric Armfield credits cutter Nick Symon for his tedious commitment to every aspect of the pipe (flat bottom, vert walls, deck, et cetera), while Nick adds that working alongside riders to perfect the transitions and vert is what makes the pipe so fun. Breck's pipe reputation is legendary and its quiver of pipes (four on-hill) delivers an array of tranny to suit any rider. Lighting up the U-jump kicks off early with the first big contest of the season, the Chevy Grand Prix (December 13–14, 2008), which rolls out with some of the best riders on the globe.

Canisius College and the National Hockey League's Buffalo Sabres announced on Tuesday a unique partnership where the school's Golden Griffin hockey program will compete and practice in the newly-constructed HARBORcenter, beginning with the 2014-15 season.
"This is an exciting day for Canisius College," said Canisius College President John J. Hurley. "We make yet another big investment in the city we have called home since 1870 as we join with Terry and Kim Pegula and the Buffalo Sabres to help revitalize Buffalo's downtown, advance the Canalside District and take our championship-hockey program to a whole new level of excellence. It's a tremendous opportunity for our student-athletes, alumni and fans to be part of this world-class facility."
HARBORcenter, which is scheduled to open in September 2014, is a $172 million multipurpose hockey and entertainment complex that will sit directly across from the First Niagara Center in Buffalo's Canalside District. Featured inside the HARBORcenter will be two NHL-size rinks, including a 1,800-seat arena where Canisius will serve as the primary tenant.
The Griffs, Buffalo's only Division I hockey program, will have their own 1,300-square foot state-of-the-art locker room in addition to separate athletic training areas and access to the building's Center of Excellence, a high-performance training facility which is designed specifically for development in the sport of hockey.
The 700,000-square foot structure will be connected to First Niagara Center by a pedestrian bridge that will span Perry Street. HARBORcenter will also feature a hockey-themed sports bar and restaurant, a full-service Marriott hotel, an 850-space parking structure and additional retail space.
"This is an exciting day for our hockey program," said Canisius College head coach Dave Smith. "Partnering with the Buffalo Sabres in a world-class hockey facility further illustrates the commitment to Division I college hockey by Canisius. This top-notch arena will expose fans to a high level of hockey at a number of levels. It will be a tremendous resource with which to recruit, train and develop hockey players. I look forward to the day when a Western New York hockey player competes for the Buffalo Sabres after developing at the HARBORcenter."
"This is a historical day for our hockey program and represents another strong commitment to the growth and importance of intercollegiate athletics at Canisius College," said Canisius College Director of Athletics Bill Maher. "The opportunity to have a world-class facility like the HARBORcenter as our home venue is outstanding and will be a critical piece for Dave Smith and his coaching staff to continue to build a championship-level program. Our goal is always to recruit and develop the best student-athletes we can at Canisius College, and we believe that playing in the HARBORcenter is another important part in realizing this goal."
Canisius, which has sponsored varsity hockey since the 1980-81 season and began competing at the Division I level during the 1998-99 campaign, has played its home games in the 1,800-seat Buffalo State Sports Arena since 1999.
The Griffs compete in the Atlantic Hockey Association and won their first conference championship during the 2012-13 season with a 7-2 victory against Mercyhurst on March 23. Canisius then advanced to its first NCAA Tournament before finishing the season ranked 19th in the final USCHO.com national poll.

Theo Walcott has the instinct and finishing ability to be a successful striker, according to Arsène Wenger.
The England international scored his second hat-trick for the Club on Tuesday night as Arsenal recovered from a four-goal first-half deficit to beat Reading 7-5 after extra time in the Capital One Cup.
Walcott sparked the comeback with a well-taken opener and made it 4-4 in stoppage time before firing the visitors ahead as penalties loomed. The 23-year-old has made no secret of his desire to play as a centre forward and Wenger believes he can do a job there.
"I always said that he will be a striker, so we are on the same wavelength there," said the manager.
"First of all he is a good finisher now - the way he scored the first goal. Secondly, I believe he knows where to be in the box on the rebounds. I like that - that's a quality of a striker that you cannot give to anybody. You feel it or you don't. He has the qualities to play there and he was superb [on Tuesday night]."
Wenger reiterated his desire to keep Walcott at Emirates Stadium and praised him for his attitude while negotiations continue.
"That's what I hope [that he is a striker at Arsenal]," said Wenger. "I always said that I want to keep him. Apart from [the] contract talks, you have to give him credit for the way he is committed for the team and the way he behaves."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The media daily reports stories not founded in the realm of factual data, but attractive and beguiling to attract the attention of readers and viewers. A group of French students decided to show Paris Match how they could match it in the prostitution of responsible journalism. They concocted a series of photographs which depicted a study on student poverty in the nation. Black and white photographs showed students prostituting themselves for money or searching dustbins for scraps of food. The photographs were entirely fake and sent into a contest by the magazine. The students won the $7,500 prize but will not be allowed to collect the money because there photos were based on falsehoods.
The students said their professors approved of the fake footage and noted, "there was nothing in the rules of the competition to say that rigged photos were banned." They simply wanted to show up the media for what it is — printing hearsay or forcing people into embarrassing photos.

Hi everybody!
I just got my starwars.com newsletter and there is a han solo throw announced. im not so interested since i think it is not acurate in size.
But wouldn't it be great to have a life size cardboard version? I know there was somebody on the board who made an awesome silicon version, but that is to expensive for me. I just thought it would be nice to have a cardboard version behind my boba on the wall. Any ideas? Maybe somebody could send me a high resoultion picture and i will try to print it with a plotter.

(Published in LINKS: Minority Research & Training - Spring 2011 [1])
When award-winning actor and advocate for clear science communication, Alan Alda, talks to young scientists about ways to effectively describe their work to a nonscientist, Alda advises them to make their research personal: How does it relate to their lives and the lives of others? Why should the listener care? For Gerardo Moreno, M.D., M.S.H.S., answering these questions is easy. In fact, personal experience may be the most important driving force for his research.
Growing up in California's Central Valley, Moreno witnessed the health challenges facing migrant farm workers, including his own parents. In college at San Jose State University, he was struck by the disparities between the largely poor, medically underserved people living in the agricultural valley and the wealth of the people in Silicon Valley. It was around that time that Moreno started thinking maybe there was something he could do to support the medical needs of his community.
"Becoming a doctor seemed almost out of the realm of possibility. My brother and I were the first of our family to ever attend college. But during a summer enrichment program, I had an opportunity to shadow a Latino doctor in my home town. It made me realize that with hard work I could achieve anything," Moreno recalls.
Moreno received his medical degree from the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), did his residency at the University of California-San Francisco, and returned to UCLA for a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars postdoctoral research fellowship. Today, Moreno is an assistant professor of family medicine at UCLA and a research scientist with the UCLA/Charles R. Drew University Resource Center for Minority Aging Research, funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA).
In a recent publication in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, Moreno and colleague Leo Morales, M.D., Ph.D., present their findings about how Spanish-language interpreters affect patient satisfaction with their care. "In this study we focused on a national demonstration project to improve doctor-patient communication by increasing access to and quality of interpreter services called Hablamos Juntos – Together We Speak," explains Moreno. "We surveyed Latinos at clinical sites in eight states to determine if people who used interpreters reported better experience with care than those for whom an interpreter was unavailable."
As Moreno and Morales suspected, Spanish-speaking Latinos who needed and used an interpreter expressed higher satisfaction with doctor communication than those who did not have an interpreter. They also regarded the office staff as more helpful. People who needed an interpreter but did not have access to one had a much more negative perspective of their health care. The researchers evaluated doctor-patient communication in four areas: listening carefully to patients, explaining things in ways patients understand, showing respect for what patients say, and spending enough time with patients. Office staff communication was analyzed in two areas: (1) being courteous/respectful and (2) being helpful.
The researchers note that their study provides further incentives to comply with laws that require healthcare providers who receive federal funds to offer language interpreting services when needed. "Latinos represent one-half of the population growth in the U.S.," says Morales, associate investigator at Seattle-based Group Health Research Institute. "In light of this trend, hospitals and clinics should strongly consider investing in a professional interpreter service. It will better position them to provide high-quality care to linguistically diverse audiences and may result in happier, healthier patients."
Moreno's personal experiences continue to inform his research directions and clinical choices. Research that supports better health care for traditionally medically underserved populations remains at the heart of his professional interests, "My hope is that we can identify ways of removing barriers to positive health outcomes and minimize—or, even better, eliminate—the health disparities facing our rapidly growing Latino communities."

Michaela Franklin was tabbed as the fourth head coach of the Green Bay volleyball program on Jan. 8, 2013. Franklin joined the program after spending the previous four seasons as an assistant coach at Marquette.
"First, I would like to thank (Director of Athletics) Ken Bothof and the entire hiring committee for their time and dedication," said Franklin. "I am ecstatic for the opportunity of becoming the next leader of the Green Bay volleyball program. As I went through the process, it was made very clear to me that everyone at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has the same passion, intensity and drive as I do in assisting the student-athletes in being successful both academically and athletically. I look forward to competing in the Kress Center, one of the nation's premier athletics facilities."
During Franklin's time at Marquette, she helped the Golden Eagles to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in 2011 and 2012 while also serving as the recruiting coordinator. Franklin assisted Marquette to a 27-7 record in 2012, including a 13-2 mark and a second place finish in the BIG EAST Conference. She also trained the outside hitters and worked as the program's defensive coordinator. Prior to Marquette, Franklin was an assistant coach at Northern Illinois from 2006-08.
A native of Lincoln, Neb., Franklin played her collegiate volleyball at Kansas State University, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in family studies and human services in 2005. While at KSU, Franklin helped the Wildcats capture a Big XII Championship and win four matches in three NCAA Tournament appearances.
Franklin takes the reins of the program from Debbie Kirch, who resigned from the position after 16 seasons in November to take an Assistant AD role in the athletics department and will serve as the sport supervisor for the program.
"We are excited to have Michaela join our staff," said Kirch. "I truly appreciate the professionalism and passion for the sport of volleyball that she displayed throughout the search and screen process. She is going to be a great fit, not only for our volleyball program and athletics department, but for our University as well."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Appeals courts this week dealt blows to plaintiffs in two cases seeking to recover millions of dollars from an alleged "pay-to-play" scheme involving supporters of former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.
The state Court of Appeals on Wednesday upheld a ruling that invalidated portions of two lawsuits brought by whistleblower Frank Foy, the former chief investment officer for the Education Retirement Board. Foy's lawsuits alleged a scheme in which Richardson appointees steered the awarding of investment business to political supporters. Richardson has denied any wrongdoing and was never named as a defendant.
Separately, the 10th Court of Appeals in Denver declined a request to move from state to federal court a separate suit brought on behalf of retirees.
The suits were filed against Wall Street firms, investment advisers and state officials.

Wheel Bearing? Rubbing noise. Also, steering issue?
My name says what car I'm talking about. I just want to say thanks for taking the time to hopefully help me out, and if you need any specific details just ask and I can do my best to answer. And I am very sorry if these have been asked/answered or if this thread is in the wrong area...
When I am moving, no matter what speed, there is a "rubbing" noise. It sounds like a tire rubbing but I honestly don't think my tire is rubbing anything because there is no smell in the wheel wells. I think it might be the wheel bearing because I had a tie rod bent really bad after hitting a curb, so bad that one tire was actually pointed out the other way at almost a 45 degree angle, jamming in one spot while driving forward and just dragging on the ground unless at a lucky odd angle when moving. I was really smart and drove the car to work (about 2-3 miles), constantly turning the wheel one side to the other bouncing the car back and forth a constant squealing of the tires just burning away. I didn't think about it at the time but I probably did some serious damage by driving my car like that and I believe I may have worn the bearing/s. But I might be completely wrong because I've never had a worn bearing before.
It gets louder the faster I go. Again, no smell. It wasn't there before I replaced the rack & pinion (replaced the whole thing instead of just the one bent tie rod, got new tires, and got an alignment) And I parked the car right after that day I drove it for 4 months until I replaced the rack.
If I'm wrong and I am destroying my new tires please tell me.
Another question: After the steering rack replacement my steering wheel moves before engaging the steering wheel, like it doesn't grab either way for about and inch and a half. A mechanic said a bolt is probably loose? Is this correct and how do I check? (I paid a guy to do the rack for me) before I hit the curb my steering was GREAT. The most responsive clean steering I'd ever had easily. And I've never experienced this in another vehicle. Whatever it is please don't tell me the rack is bad. Lol.
THANKS TO ANYONE WHO TAKES THE TIME TO READ AND HELP ME WITH THIS or THESE PROBLEMS!!
Just brought it to a shop. Thanks for all the replies

The "recovered diameters" compared to original and recovered weight? It would seem possible that some of the diameter may have been shed if the bullet fragmented. The .357 Magnum did what it was supposed to do ~ penetrate. Bodies vary, human or animal, in density and bone structure.
And, clothed ~ what type of clothing, summer, or bitter cold winter?
