As we've watched the profession evolve over the past 15 years, these means and methods have migrated from the fringes to the center of architecture's arsenal of best practices.
design/build Updating the time-honored master builder model, architect-led design/build firms offer clients an experience that is integrated from start to finish. The arrangement forgoes some checks and balances of the conventional approach, but it allows accurate job costing earlier in the design process and can put more design talent out on the jobsite.
new modernism
Once reserved for the homes of movie villains, modern residential architecture has gone mainstream. The kinder, gentler Modernism of the 21st century uses agricultural and industrial references to connect with its region. And its popularity continues to grow among younger generations.
common grounds
Gen-X and Gen-Y city dwellers are looking for a sense of community, even within their apartment or condominium buildings. New and recent multifamily projects feature gyms, courtyards, movie rooms, rooftop decks, and even lobby coffee bars—all serving as layers of shared space between the street and the unit.
new urbanism
New Urbanism began as an insurgent movement against the car-centered orthodoxy of conventional planning wisdom. By resurrecting and codifying old-fashioned ideas about mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly communities—and by persuading developers of their value—New Urbanists have transformed the real estate landscape.
disaster relief housing
News of natural and man-made disasters now spreads with a speed that was unthinkable 15 years ago. Architects have responded accordingly, using their unique skills to provide post-disaster design and rebuilding help—especially through Architecture for Humanity, which started in 1999 and now has 70 chapters in 25 countries.
prefabricated housing The dream of high-design prefab housing picked up steam during the boom, as a clutch of innovative firms drew international acclaim for their sophisticated prefab plans and manufacturing methods. Despite a housing bust-induced slowdown, consumer awareness of architect-led prefab is now higher than ever.
collaborative practice
Traditional hierarchies have given way to newly democratic firm structures, heralded by open workspaces and abstract company names. Today's firms often work across disciplines, incorporating interiors, landscape, construction, and furniture—and they're ready and willing to team up with other designers.
new traditional architecture
With mass market housing mired in a historical pastiche, a cadre of dedicated classicists and masters of regional vernacular hold the line on authenticity in traditional architecture.
information technology and tools
Email and digital photography have transformed communication among architects, clients, and builders. Meanwhile, the Internet has given practices that before were strictly local access to national—and even international—markets.
environmental accountability Structured sustainability programs like LEED and Passive House apply objective standards to the ideal of green design, giving architects verifiable paths to high-performance, environmentally responsible buildings.
small house consciousness
Doing more with less has always been at the heart of architecture. Now environmental awareness and a reset in the economics of homeownership have given minimalist housing mainstream cachet.
social media Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and other social media have provided architects with potent new marketing tools. Their casual nature enables companies to connect with people quickly and informally, and to reveal more about the personalities behind the firm.
design software
Extending the dominance of CAD, building information modeling, or BIM, has expanded the capability of architectural documents to include not only the third spatial dimension, but also light and the crucial element of performance over time.
strong indoor/outdoor connections
Sunbelt climates invited architects to dissolve the exterior wall, while improvements in glazing gave them the means to do so. Temperate regions got in on the act, too; every house can use a little more nature.
open floor plans
Modernism introduced open-plan living, but the concept has become virtually universal. Neo-traditional detailing may rule the suburbs, but only the most hidebound traditionalist would tolerate a door between the kitchen and dining area.

text: http://winter.sport-express.ru/figureskating/reviews/26463/ Tuktamysheva Ekaterina Kulinicheva (EK): Elizaveta Tuktamysheva has finished the Grand Prix series on a positive note - with a brilliant performance of the long program and second place in Paris. After that skate, didn't you think that she might win the event? Alexei Mishin (AM): I think that she certainly should have placed first. No one, even among our girls, has shown recently such jump set and such quality of jumps, but ... Looking at all the manipulations with program components that take place today in figure skating, you cannot help but think: was the judging system change even worth it? EK: At her other Grand Prix, Skate Canada, Tuktamysheva was 0.03 points away from the third place. If she ended up on the podium, she would have a very good chance of making the second Grand Prix final in a row ... AM: Maybe. But I'm not sure if she needs this final or not. Last year, we've been in the final, which resulted in failed Russian National Championship. I wouldn't want this story to repeat itself. EK: Elizaveta was not upset? AM: Girls like her, who had made their way from periphery, have certain resilience. Furthermore, Liza has been training for many years in good company of elite male skaters. When you see an Olympic champion not in the movies or on YouTube, but "live" when he is talking to you, making jokes, it means a lot. In general, Tuktamysheva is not that easy to upset. By the way, I want to thank all the experts who work with Liza. Coach Svetlana Veretennikova, choreographer Tatiana Prokofieva, general physical preparation coach Andrey Milonov, basic skating coach Vlad Vladimirov. Because I, as a public person, am being the only one getting all praise. I would like to share it with these people. Also special thanks to Liza's mother. She raised a girl with a true fighting spirit. EK: How difficult was the growth spurt for Tuktamysheva? AM: It's not that difficult. Maybe it is not easy sometimes for Svetlana Veretennikova and me (smiles). In fact, except for the weight gain, Liza has no problems associated with growing up. Her coordination is still all right. Her jumping technique is all right, like all the athletes' in our group. She is not falling apart because of height and weight changes. If the same Plushenko had incorrect technique, he would never be able to make a comeback, let alone to do it twice. So let's go easy on Liza and just wait. If this girl has already defeated the strongest adult skaters in the world, it means she has something in her. EK: You once said that when you were a young coach you were in a hurry to prove that you are capable of much, and made mistakes because of it. Isn't the same thing happening with Liza? AM: Why would she be in a hurry? She has a correct understanding of the situation. Sometimes, skater in the transition period starts falling on all jumps. But Liza has the ability to get everything together and fight. Even at the Grand Prix in Canada, she did not get on the podium, but, considering the condition she was in there, she did an A+ job. Plushenko EK: Will Evgeni Plushenko skate in Dortmund? AM: The decision is still pending. Recently, Zhenya underwent a preventive procedure under general anesthesia in Germany, after which he missed a week of training. We understand perfectly well that we need this event - both for ranking points and for competitive experience. And just to show that he is alive. After all, he hadn't shown up anywhere, except the test skates. But on the other hand, I do not want to let him in the battle unprepared. It is one thing to show fragments in a show, and quite another to skate the entire program. This requires a different level of preparation. Actually, I plan to organize a special event later here in St. Petersburg. Invite serious athletes, judges, and give Evgeni a test run. EK: Recently, Plushenko celebrated an anniversary. And at the celebration in St. Petersburg you presented your student with a portrait of himself and his wife. AM: Evgeni is a wealthy man. It's pointless to give him a watch, a ring, or even a car. He is having a time of his life when he does not have to buy cars - companies themselves are fighting for the right to give it to him. Why I gave him such a picture? His wife Yana is portrayed on it as a guardian angel. Due to the anniversary I was often asked what I wish Zhenya. As an athlete, I wish him victories, there is nothing to explain. And as a man and a person, I wish him a good family - and certainly with Yana. Of all the women he met in life, she is the right one. EK: They say you have not been in Moscow for his birthday party. AM: I just arrived from Canada, and on Saturday I had a practice to attend. That's why I didn't go. I considered it would be wrong. EK: You weren't afraid that Evgeni might be offended? AM: Time of taking offense for us has long ago passed. Actually, there never even was such time, I think. Most people, in case of failure, tend to blame it on the timing, on the music, on the ice, on the pants that got in the way. Evgeni lacks this tendency completely. A rare quality for an elite athlete, and for a person. Even at such difficult time that was for us, for example, Salt Lake City, I have not heard from him a single reproach. EK: And after Vancouver? AM: After Vancouver either. EK: Does he tend to blame himself, then? AM: If he blames himself, he doesn't to it in the form of public statements. Each difficulty generates additional forces in him. Now, for example, Zhenya understands perfectly well what high a level of competition waits him in Sochi, and therefore he increases his demands to himself, working ability. I would also like to say about age. 30 years seem like a lot, as far as athletes go. But I still cannot find in him any indication of coordination aging. And if you look at his attitude to sport, what is called the fun of skating - he is really having fun. Often, if something does not work out in practice, Zhenya starts jumping on two feet, fooling around, teasing. You can see the unspent youth. And now, maybe, you see it even more than during the Turin Games. Then he was less cheerful and dynamic. EK: You said you do not like parties and celebrations. But Plushenko seems to like being in the spotlight. Was there any tension because of that? AM: It's a wrong impression. It's just that his wife belongs to show business world, where one cannot just go into the woods and live in a tent. In this world, you cannot exist without a certain number of magazine articles, television stories and so on. But as an athlete Plushenko is very tough in selecting the communication channels. EK: Is it final, that he will skip the Worlds this season? AM: If possible, I wouldn't answer this question yet. EK: Then I will ask a different one. Russia will be represented by only one skater at Worlds. And the Olympic quota in Sochi will depend on the result of said skater. Naturally, many people hope that Plushenko changes his mind and will get us two or even three places at home games. Do you and he feel any pressure because of that? AM: We need one good place, not two or three bad ones. This is our position. Gachinski EK: Is there any news about Artur Gachinsky's health? Not long ago, you said that he has problems with immunity. AM: There really are problems. Perhaps this is due to the second wave of adolescence. We thoroughly examine Artur, looking for reasons why he lacks stamina. After all, this leads to mistakes, and they, in turn, lead to psychological insecurity. Artur is in a difficult situation. His current mistakes are, of course, inexcusable, and I am dissatisfied with his performance. But he's a very gifted athlete. Recently his was doing quadruple Salchow jump in practices - I've never seen such a performance of this jump of anyone in the world. At the Grand Prix in Canada Gachinski did two quads, and only the winner, Javier Fernandez, did the same. I'm sure Artur will overcome the current difficulties. He's got everything for it. EK: How is Gachinski coping with the current situation? AM: Human body is a whole. When he feels that due to lack of physical strength he cannot do something, it messes up his head, too. Now Gachinski is stressed psychologically. Because of the contradiction between his potential, which he is aware of, and his current results. After all, Artur is able to do quadruple toe loop, quad Salchow and quad loop. In addition, he is very gifted artistically. I repeat: I believe in Artur. I believe, that for him there are no insurmountable barriers. And, I, of course, like everyone else, want everything to go back to normal as soon as possible. EK: Last year you were saying that it was too early to give Sochi 2014 gold medal the two-time world champion Patrick Chan of Canada, and to pay attention, for example, to young Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu, who has already updated the world record in the short program this year. And what about Javier Fernandez, who beat Chan in Canada, could he be a potential "king of Sochi"? AM: Yes. Fernandez, and another Japanese - Tatsuki Machida. At recent meeting with the Minister of Sport Vitaly Mutko, I said that the main danger in Sochi will come not from the well-known ones, but from those whose names are just beginning to appear at top positions in protocols.

Choosing a major is a difficult decision. We spend most of our waking life working, so there are a lot of pressures that ride on the choice you make, such as how much education you'll need, how much money you can expect to make, how in love with the work you will be, and how satisfied your parents will be with your choice. That's a lot to think about, so let's make it a little bit more simple by focusing on the most important aspect of that decision-making process: how in love with the work you will be. That's right. How passionate you are about what you'll be doing. Your best decision won't come from pleasing your parents or following the money. The best way to make a decision you won't regret is to choose a career in something that you truly love, and here are 3 reasons why:

Regulations on Administering Sponsored Programs
The UNC Policy Manual
Adopted 11/17/00
Regulations on Administering Sponsored Programs
1. Purpose
This administrative memorandum establishes the general requirements, responsibilities, and relationships, with respect to sponsored programs, of the University of North Carolina Office of the President and the 16 constituent institutions (together referred to as the "University"), and its faculty, staff, and students. "Sponsored programs" refers to scholarly, professional, and creative activities that University personnel conduct with support from external funding instruments such as grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, or other agreements deemed appropriate by the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina. Sponsored programs, therefore, are key instruments through which the University fulfills its diverse mission; efficient and effective administration of sponsored programs is imperative.
2. Sponsored Programs and Research Council
The University Council on Research is hereby reconstituted as the University of North Carolina Sponsored Programs and Research Council (SPARC). The council will consist of one or more representatives from the Office of the President and one or more representatives from each constituent institution. The Office of the President shall have one voting member on the council who shall serve as its chair, as appointed by the President. Each constituent institution shall have one voting member on the council, as appointed by the institution's chancellor and confirmed by the President. SPARC is authorized to adopt bylaws, not inconsistent with this or other University policies, to govern its administration.
3. Delegation of Authority
The Board of Governors retains overall policy-making authority with respect to sponsored programs. SPARC may recommend revisions of this guidance pursuant to procedures outlined in its bylaws. The President delegates to SPARC the authority to create guidelines and procedures, ancillary to this administrative memorandum, which shall govern the administration of sponsored programs within the University. The authority not delegated, nor prohibited herein, is reserved to the institutions.
4. Guidelines
Generally, two basic features define sponsored programs: (1) they are separately supported in whole or in part by external sponsors, and (2) they are executed under the terms of agreement between the University and sponsors. While the specific instruments (e.g., grant, contract, cooperative agreement) authorizing sponsored programs typically are associated with specific individuals or groups, those instruments legally are awarded to the University. Information about all sponsored programs will be compiled according to guidelines established by SPARC for submission to and approval by the Office of the President. General criteria that must be considered in the development of sponsored programs include:
a. Adequate budgetary support, both direct and indirect, is to be provided by the sponsor or other appropriate sources. No unauthorized obligations are to be assumed by the University.
b. Sponsored programs must be compatible with the overall mission of the University.
c. Sponsored programs must be consistent with federal and state laws and University policies.
5. Office of the President Requirements and Responsibilities
The Office of the President will:
a. Collect and review sponsored programs data from the constituent institutions and disseminate reports.
b. Advocate for sponsored programs support.
c. Maintain sponsored programs information resources.
d. Provide leadership in the professional development of faculty and staff concerning sponsored programs.
e. Maintain and disseminate guidelines and procedures related to sponsored programs.
f. Resolve disputes among constituent institutions.
g. Interface with state and federal governmental entities on behalf of the constituent institutions.
h. Facilitate interinstitutional collaboration on sponsored program activities.
6. Constituent Institution Requirements and Responsibilities
Each constituent institution will:
a. Report sponsored programs submission, award, and expenditure data to the Office of the President.
b. Ensure that sponsored programs are conducted and funds are used in a manner consistent with federal and state laws and University policies.
c. Ensure that sponsored programs funds reside in a designated University account.
d. Ensure that a statement of work and budget exists explaining the purpose and use of each sponsored program's funds.
e. Ensure that only those with delegated authority enter into agreements that commit the University to provide for the delivery of goods or services.
f. Ensure that prior approval from the Office of the President is obtained for the following:
i. Commitment to continue an activity, retain personnel, provide cash matching/cost sharing funds, or provide capital improvements or equipment beyond the expiration of sponsored support or in excess of institutional resource levels.
ii. Creation of a new organizational unit within the institution or the University.
iii. Creation of a new degree program.
7. Faculty and Staff Requirements and Responsibilities
Each faculty or staff member involved with sponsored programs will:
a. Submit all requests for support of sponsored programs through the appropriate institutional office for review and approval prior to submission to the sponsor.
b. Adhere to all federal and state laws and University policies.
c. Conduct sponsored program activities in accordance with the highest ethical standards.

Once upon a time there was a magical fairy land in the center of Africa that was ruled by a man named St. Bobby who loved his people so much that he would not allow any interloper to have a voice in the government because they might do things to stimulate the economy or provide jobs and food to the people. In the fantasy land of Mugabeland, everyone is happy because they don't have to waste energy on eating food or working, they can lounge around and watch St. Bobby on television. The beloved president of the land is so concerned about the welfare of its people that he has decided the best way to get food to the populace is to allow a whole bunch of shiftless people to die which means there is more left for those who are still alive.
In the enchanted Mugabeland, there are still some malcontents who refuse to believe if one eats the words spoken by St. Bobby, there is not need for that colonial idea of bread and milk and meat since ten words spoken by our enchanted prince are equivalent to a meal of rice and meat.
OK, so 50,023 people have cholera and 2,773 have died, but look at the bright side– none of the dead or infected people are those who surround the beloved St. Bobby. When St. Bobby says he cares about "the people of Zimbabwe," he never said he was referring to anyone other than the lackeys and sycophants who surround him.
So, let's give a cheer for St. Bobby, if he can achieve his dream there will be no one left in Mugabeland but those who like him.

I went the little extra expense and use Titebond III, I'm early in but have no complaints so for...General consensus seems to be that it's ALL THAT!Some will say that Titebond III is overkill and Titebond II is plenty sufficient...they very well may be right, but I like overkill. :)
Oh, and don't be bashful with the glue. What squeezes out of the joints I smear across the end grain of the wood helping to weatherproof it. Naturally this wouldn't work well if you were using a stain of some type, but for painting it works good. A little sawdust mixed with the glue makes some pretty good "filler", too. ;)Ed

Hey guys. I've been looking into doing a bit of a smaller project: an Olive Drab Imperial Officer Uniform.
I was just wondering if anyone knew a good place or person to obtain this costume from. I know there are Fett wannabe's and I don't want to get a low quality Uniform either, lol. And I'm definitely not good enough to sew it myself.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
My 2009 Ford Focus is a Black lemon on 4 wheels
I have had a problem similar on and off for the past year with my 2009 ford focus. It started around 30,000 miles and has continued for the past two years. I've had it in the dealership twice, but they could never reproduce it or find anything wrong with it. Last week the stupid wrench light came on and stayed on for four hours. Was hoping that finally something broke but no such luck. Turning the key off/on reset the code. No PCM codes were ever recorded in the computer. Complained to the dealership and they put on a new throttle body and motor servo assembly. This car never limps though, it only jerks as it is a 5 speed manual. Three days after getting it back from the dealership, the car is exhibiting the same problem. Here is a clue to the problem -- when it is super humid, rainy, snowy or slick out the car acts shows this behavior and sometimes the wrench light comes on.
My extended warranty will be ending soon and need to have this problem fixed. Did I mention I bought this car "A Plan" as well? The dealership that installed the new throttle body when I took it back recommended that I take it to another Ford dealer because there was nothing they could do further to help me. Also had to replace the clutch pedal spring four times and the master/slave cylinder at about 20k miles. I still have a slow leak in the hydraulic clutch system as well. When it's cold out, the car will creep forward in neutral on it's own. If any Ford CSRs are reading this out there, this should become a case study of how not to treat your A plan customers. For those of you not familiar with A plan, it's Ford's employee purchase plan.
2009 focus ses
I am also having this same issue, again. I replaced my throttle body about a year ago because of this. Now it is happening again. Buying a new throttle body every couple years is utterly ridiculous. Does anyone know what is actually causing the tps to fail.
2010 Focus SE
I am having the problem with the wrench light coming on. This problem is ridiculous.
There are 18,000 miles on the car, and it is 2 months out of 3 year warranty.
I have owned this car for 6 months, and the wrench light has come on at least 30 times. Each & every time i turn the car off, turn it back on again, and away I drive.
Last night on a highway under construction, the wrench light came on 13 times!!!
The car is currently at the dealership. If an Ford Service Rep could PM me regarding this problem, i would appreciate it.
I had a wrench light come on while driving about a year ago when I was still working at the dealership.
I had the TSB performed a couple of days later, even though the symptom didn't re-occur, hoping that the new part might be updated and not have the same issue come back
My 2011 did this today.
Very sad.
|Needles to say I have this problem and I'm not even going explain cause I don't want to be Repiticious. My girlfriend owns a 08 focus and I believe if I'm not mistaken this is the second time it has happened. I'm not a Ford fan at all I've had GM cars all my life and had not many problems with them. I just wanted to post so that all would know our 08 focus SES has same issue and the customer Service would see that there is a pattern and fix there issues before they sell the cars. I'm going to YouTube or google for the fix myself and if it seems easy I'm going to to the work myself if not mechanic will. I'm inclined but these new cars these days are getting very complicated. Switches and bulbs and stuff. Ok being sarcastic but good luck to all on your repairs!
Loss of power caused me an accident
Last night driving to football my wrench light came on this we the 2 md time this has happened once a few weeks ago stopped it and started it and worked fine... Last night I lost power and hit someone in the rearend. Is this going to be on a recall? I am not under warrantie that expired 5k miles ago. I am afraid to drive my car!!
|My 2011 Fiesta also has what seems to be the SAME issue. It has been back to the dealer no less than 6 times for the wrench light coming on and going into limp mode. The dealer first couldn't find a code, then after getting a code (the next time the light came on a couple weeks later) replaced parts that did not fix it. They are working on the problem but can't get it right. We are thinking that maybe we need to look into the lemon law on this as the car had less than 36000 miles on it when the problem started and we have had it in the shop 6 times related to this same problem and it is in no better shape today then the first time we took it in. We have 4 Fords right now and have always bought Fords but a issue like this makes you want to look into other options.
Focus wrench light and chugging!
I have a 09 focus with 57,000 miles doing the same thing. I took it to the dealer and they said that no code was stored in the computer. They drove the vehicle and could not duplicate the problem. Charged me $75 and sent me on my way. The vehicle losses all power, pull over turn off and then turn on and it drives fine. The vehicle also is chugging at highway speeds. I have had my vehicle at the dealer now for two days and guess what they can't duplicate the problem so nothing is wrong. They have a TSB for this issue which states it is most likely a throttle body. Thet read it to me! They don't want to replace it because they have never had to replace one before. This vehicle is under warranty. I am totally frustrated at this point and I ready to get rid of all 3 of my ford vehicles. Any suggestions!

I decided to take a decent picture. I used some wool to knock down the brightness of the mandibles. Still sooooo much to do, but I was really happy with the 'new look' that the steel wool gave it.
Bravo dude. Bravo.
Trade ya
OK ,OK...now I'll shut up about the green. If this is the way it looks in person you'd be a fool or a glutton for punishment to repaint it. Really looks amazingly similar to the ESB pic that was posted up. What's left to so other than scratches, more scratches, and dullcote?
There's actually a TON more to do. I have all the splatters, the misting, another light coat of gray here and there, and I need to almost RE-DO the entire dent lol! And THEN wash the whole thing to get the dome and cheeks to where I want them. This is the shot I'm trying to replicate:
I think I have the color tone pretty close, but it will take a few washes to get the colors to match (my color needs SHADOW). Still sooooo much to do, but THANK YOU for the compliments!!! It REALLY helps me to stay positive, since I'm sure at least half of TDH thinks I'm crazy for going this route!
I think it looks great man!
Looks great fella, amazing job
Are you just planning on doing the helmet, or are you doing armor as well? I'd be interested to see how/if the paint colors would change based on this interpretation.
New boards are in for the RF, and they work. PM me when you get a chance.

Well, I got my feet wet with washes. I used Vallejo Black Grey, and gave the lower cheeks and dome a few generous washes. It may or may not come across well in the pictures, but it's quite noticeable in person, and it's really helping me feel more comfortable about my custom green. I may buy another color and try some more. It was fun!
Also added a few bits of Caboose Red to the mandibles.
Having fun!
Dude...wow. I love that color!
Would be cool to see this on an ESB costume, or an ROTJ SE would be better! Can be very proud to put this thing on display....
Once you git your ears done we will need to do a side b side with my FPH2.
But I really want to have it side-by-side with yours. To really get a feel for how my color choices pan out next to the tried-and-true colors.
Added some detail to the right mandible. After it dries fully, I'll wetsand to even out the paint/tone with the existing color.
More and more, I'm beginning to this that the original helmets were painted mostly topically...
I'd imagine you're right about the topical thing...But think how much more realistic this looks with the majority being layered. Probably a good balance of both for a perfect paint up.
Smudge me!
Truly outstanding paint up so far.
Looks great man.
Looks great, can't wait to get a kit built for it.
Ear me!

The Ruger SR22 comes immediately to mind. Same manufacturer, very similar design, and seems to be getting good reviews. Personally, I have shot neither of these guns, but I do have a 22LR pistol for the same reason -- inexpensive range practice. However, as much as you want the same feel as your SR40 -- you won't get the same level of recoil or feel, even if the 22LR is identical. What you do get is continued practice with sight alignment, trigger pull, and form. -- plus more shooting on the cheap.
That said, it seems obvious that you would want to at least check out the SR22. Or, recognizing that you won't get the exact feel of your SR40 in a 22LR, you might want to find something else that feels similar and shoots well. I like the Ruger MkIII Target, but there are lots of other Ruger 22LRs and other reliable 22LRs for that matter. Rent and shoot some if you can to find one that you like the best.

- The happiness
- Islam means "submission to God in peace". Islam teaches there is only One God, whose primary name is "Allah" in the Arabic language. Islam is the same essential message given to all the prophets, from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and finally to the Last Prophet, Muhammad, (peace be upon them all). They all proclaimed the same basic Divine message: worship only God, stop worshipping human beings and other created things There's a different between Islam and Muslims!! What's the purpose of life? What Do You Know About Islam? Not what you have heard about Islam, not what you have seen in the actions of some Muslims, but what do you really know about Islam?

I am in my early 30's and re-evaluated what I want out of life. I have quite a bit of work experience but it is not related to teaching. Let me summarize:
B.A. Anthropology U.Texas at Austin
Just finished 120 hour TEFL/TESOL course from tesolexpressonline.com
I am an Army Reserve Officer
I have 5 years as an investment advisor plus 1 year of international banking.
Plus 1 year working for the IRS.
I assume that my experience could be helpful teaching professionals but I am not sure if it will help me to qualify for higher than what seems to be average starting salary around US$1,600. Of course I would prefer at least $2,000 take-home pay.
Has anyone seen a monetary value trend of non-education professional experience?
Also, I am looking at Korea, since I am in the Army Reserve we have units there I could drill with. This ads a concern though of having to cancel a contract should I need to spend some time in Afghanistan. Does anyone know the penalty for breaking a contract and if military duty affects it?
Also, finding a job in the US has been hard for reservists. Most of us are unemployed or underemployed. I assume because companies like us leaving for a year or so at a time. Does anyone know if being a reservist would make it harder to be accepted for a teaching position in Korea?

Nevertheless, there are some espresso machines which is highly rated and in demand because of its satisfying performance –Gaggia Classic.

This also includes frothing wan that is designed for the creamer and cup warmer.
Does Gaggia espresso machines can easily be cleaned and maintained?
This Gaggia Classic Review discovers that the exterior area of the machine appears to be made using brushed stainless steel which can easily be cleaned by wiping it out using damp cloth. The group head and porta-filters are trouble-free to clean since it is made with chrome plating durable marine grade brass. The temperature is also durable and stable. Gaggia espresso machines water tank can hold up to 72-ounces which can be disconnected for an easy filling and cleaning. This also includes single plus double shots filter stainless baskets, measuring scoop and coffee tamper.
Gaggia Classic Review: Gaggia Classic Possess Industrial Appearance
While some of other coffee maker machines claim that users will get perfect espresso without the need for knowledge, with Classic –it's not! This Gaggia Classic Review will make you think that mainly from its appearance; this item can easily tell you that you will need to learn more on how to properly use this machine. But don't be disappointed since it is not complicated. Once you have done some shots of your favorite espresso, you will definitely pin it down to fine are.
This Gaggia Classic Review can testify that Gaggia is the only coffee machine that could provide you the finest coffee made at home. Classic operation is very easy and simple since it only revolves more concerning o techniques. The machine have a light that will automatically lit once its turned on to let the user know that the water inside is arrange at the right temperature. For much better result, user needs to warm their cup on the cup warmer at the top. it is also worthy to run the hot water all the way through the group handle and filter to pre warm and prime the machine parts.
Once ready, it is time for your coffee to go in, it needs to be tamped-down which require less pressure to compress and flatten the coffee ground. Coffee pouring is just like flicking the switch of hot water for the Classic to kick into action. You can pour the espresso into desire number of servicing: single or double according to the coffee amount that was put in.
Gaggia Espresso Ability
In this Gaggia Classic Review, I would go over 4 viewpoints in terms of ability as followings:
- Brewing: Good espresso relies initially on the temperature consistency of the brew. With smaller fluctuation of shot to shot; the more it will likely to develop great brewing shot. This classic coffee maker is considered as one of the best and reliable with regards to this point. This could not be as best as the pro-summer model bit this does not cost a lot either. The coffee grind of this Classic is much sensitive to particle sizes. This establishes fun and enjoyable activity if user loves to try-out one variable simultaneously while holding other constant. Once you finally get hold of your favorite grinder dialled-in, you can easily continue for the rest of your adventures like brew pressure and tamping. It is very essential to preheat coffee machine accordingly and avoid being impatient. Seven minutes is the suggested time for it. You can run some shot without the coffer to warm-up the porta-filter, cup and group head. Your shot will come out with one hole which will split evenly into 2 channels flowing directly into your cups. ESE pods and coffee grounds can both be utilized in this espresso machine.
- Steaming: You will need 35 second of time to wait for it to steam. This cannot be similar to double boiler machine without waiting time. However half minute is surely not n issue. 8 oz. of milk will only take 96 seconds to steam. Your ultimate test is Gaggia Classic creamy froth able to attain without much knowledge or fuss. Your waiting time can be minimal annoyance if you're about to host a party were in there are six visitors are waiting and hanging around for their espresso simultaneously.
- Control and Display: This retains the traditional look with trendier style of display panel along with proper switch that is position on the left. This is flowed by brew and steam switches at the middle of the right area. This contains indicator light which illuminated once boil reaches the operating temperature.
- Additional Feature: This contains 7×5 inches of passive cup warmer which can carry up to five espresso cups. the heat residue is being generating from its boiler while cup clearance consist of 3.25 inches with height that only allow lower shot glasses and cups. The chrome plated drip tray also catches espresso drips and automatically dried the coffee grounds.
Gaggia Espresso Machines Pros
- Steady brew stability and temperature with commercial grade brass porta-filter with group head that ensured ensures reliable espressos during the whole day.
- The 55 watts pump of Gaggia is too powerful in pumping water during steaming and brewing with minimal recovery time and wait needed.
- The switch which possesses rocker style that easily minimizes problems frequently occurred on push buttons.
Gaggia Classic Review: Verdict
To summarize this Gaggia Classic Review, right after exploring and going over this product, I can conclude that the Gaggia Classic is excellent, high quality espresso machine to buy if you intend to make Italian-inspired espresso. The Gaggia Classic provides you with all of the features needed to brew up espresso on your own or even to share with people you love. Also, from this Gaggia Classic Review, I can say that the more attractive design and a lot of mentioned-above highlights are worth the overall cost. Not only the taste of coffee this Gaggia Classic providing to you but the SPECIAL PROMOTION of this product nowadays as well; both are the strong points pushing me to give this product as high recommendation from this Gaggia Classic Review.

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday and our Talking Heads for this game were former Gunner Kenny Sansom and David Faber of Goonerholic.
Read on for their views on the Gunners' trip to Anfield.
It wasn't a classic match but Arsenal have now gone three games without conceding, so thank you very much Mr Stevie Bould. Everyone might say it is too early to put it all down to him, but he was a great player and a fantastic coach so hopefully if we don't concede goals this year we will win a lot of matches. If you look at the whole game, it was comfortable for Arsenal. It was a fantastic result and I predicted 3-1 so I wasn't too far away. It was a great win.
Arsenal would love to get their first win of the season this weekend but you can be sure that Liverpool won't make it easy for them. Although we have looked solid at the back so far, it would be great to see the new signings get their first goals. There are big shoes to fill up front but I'm confident Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski can lead from the front once they've found their feet. I was impressed with Liverpool against Manchester City last weekend and they do appear to have strengthened well this summer. But Arsenal have it in them to go to Anfield and claim all three points. Taking our chances is essential because Liverpool will not give away a great deal anywhere on the pitch.
This turned out to be the day that the new-look Arsenal gave us a clue as to what they are capable of. A couple of early misplaced passes apart, this was a masterclass in playing away to opponents of some stature. Abou Diaby rightly earned the plaudits. He has missed so much through injury that he deserves enormous credit for his display at Anfield. Alongside him Mikel Arteta and Santi Cazorla helped him dictate the pace and direction of play. Lukas Podolski impressed too, working hard at both ends of the pitch and scoring the opener after fashioning a lightning fast break with Cazorla. The German international repaid the compliment for the second and both will surely score many more this season. A word too for Per Mertesacker who, after a harsh early yellow card, timed each ensuing challenge to perfection. After the frustrations of the opening two fixtures this was indeed a good day to be a Gooner. Well played lads.
This is a fascinating match-up between two managers attempting to shape new-look sides. After facing two clubs who primarily defended the point they started with, Arsenal will hope to benefit from facing a team who are sure to show more ambition. Don't get me wrong, Liverpool away will never be an easy fixture, but there will hopefully be more opportunity for Arsenal to find space and exploit them. The midfield trio appears to be settled for now, but Arsène faces interesting choices at the back, where Laurent Koscielny returns after injury, and up front where Gervinho's place will surely be under threat from both Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The defence, rock-solid but hardly overworked thus far, will do well to rack up a third consecutive clean sheet, while the excellent travelling support will be hoping to see Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud, or Santi Cazorla break their Premier League ducks. Liverpool have just one point from their opening two fixtures, but that was at the expense of champions Manchester City in a game they might well have won. I am hoping the experience in the Arsenal midfield will shade the possession on the day and that we will convert that into points. One-nil to the Arsenal, anybody?

FLASHBACK: Fox News Championed BP In Wake Of Massive Oil Spill
Oil Giant Agrees To Pay $4.5 Billion, Plead Guilty To 12 Felonies
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
BP announced that they will settle with the federal government for $4.5 billion and plead guilty to 12 felony counts related to the massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. At the time, the company received a vigorous defense from Fox News and others in the conservative media, which accused President Obama of "demonizing" the company for its role in the environmental disaster which killed 11 workers and caused billions of dollars in damage.
CBS News reported November 15:
Oil giant BP said Thursday it has agreed to pay the largest criminal penalty in U.S. history for the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The company announced that it will pay $4.5 billion to settle with the federal government. The largest previous corporate criminal penalty assessed by the Department of Justice was the $1.2 billion fine imposed on drug maker Pfizer in 2009.
Meanwhile, a source close to the case confirmed to CBS News Thursday that two BP employees face manslaughter charges over the death of 11 people in the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that triggered the massive spill.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record about the deal, also confirmed that BP will plead guilty to obstruction for lying to Congress for its statements on the size of the leak.
At the time, right-wing media figures attacked congressional hearings on the spill as, in the words of Rush Limbaugh, "a show trial" similar to "what happened in Stalinist Russia." Fox's Charles Krauthammer compared the congressional hearings to "Incan ritual slaughter," while Glenn Beck called them "Salem witch trials." Bill Kristol said that BP was being "persecuted by a demagogic congressional committee chairman."
Fox figures also repeatedly expressed concern that the congressional hearings might have hurt BP's stock price.
Soon after the oil rig explosion, media outlets began drawing a link between BP management failures and corner-cutting on the Deepwater Horizon and the accident -- links subsequently confirmed in a September 2011 report from federal investigators, which found that "BP was solely to blame for 21 of 35 contributing causes to the Macondo well blowout, and shared blame for 8 more."
As oil continued to gush from the ruins of the oil platform, however, several Fox figures criticized not BP, but Obama's administration for trying to hold the company responsible. Stuart Varney, Monica Crowley, Sarah Palin, and Fred Barnes all accused Obama of "demonizing BP," while Krauthammer said that Attorney General Eric Holder's announcement of the criminal investigation into the oil spill amounted to "declaring war on the oil company," which he termed "distasteful."
Fox made every effort to avoid pinning responsibility for the accident on BP. In the early days of the leak, Fox invented conspiracy theories, with Dana Perino suggesting that there might have been "sabotage" involved and Eric Bolling suggesting that the administration might have deliberately allowed the oil rig to leak so Obama "could renege on his promise to allow some offshore drilling." Later on, the network and others in the conservative media turned to false claims that environmentalists were to blame for the disaster, pretending that oil companies were only drilling in deep water because regulations prevented them from doing so closer to shore.

I was looking at the oklahoma regs. All it takes here is a fishing license and you can shoot non game fish. Some lakes let you shoot bass
