Kocaeli TV, 25 February 2011
As you know, 19 years ago, on 25-26 February, 1992, Armenian fascists martyred 613 people, mainly women and children, in the Karabagh region of Azerbaijan. Why did they do that? So that fascist thinking would grow stronger, so people would become enemies and so that Azeris and Armenians would hate one another until the Day of Reckoning and so they would never love, watch over or protect one another. So they took precautionary measures to prevent Islamic Union and Turkish-Islamic Union 19 years ago. They foolishly imagined that it would be impossible for Azerbaijan to unite with Turkey. And that it would be impossible for it to unite with Iran. This is what they thought; if we can create a breach between them, it will be enormously difficult for Azerbaijan and Turkey to unite. It would be enormously difficult for Armenia to join the Turkish-Islamic Union. This was one of the most ruthless measures they adopted. The people who did it must all be sentenced to punishments appropriate to their crimes. The killers must all be identified and punished accordingly. But apart from that, we must not fall into the trap. It would be stupid to sit down and declare that Armenian children, women and old people and all those who had nothing to do with it are our enemies. That would mean falling for the traps set by communists and fascists. But we are going to foil those traps. We will do that by including both Azerbaijan and Armenia in the Turkish-Islamic Union.
It is a mistake to regard America as being behind everything. The events in the Islamic world are not things brought about by America. America is hugely surprised by them. America is not powerful enough to do that. It has its own problems. Some people there cannot find enough to eat and are sleeping in the streets. America has collapsed economically. The events going on are directly related to the way of the Mahdi. Do you think America waited and waited until exactly the time of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as)? Why did it not do these things 10 years ago? These are things gradually brought about by the way of the Mahdi. These events are set out in detail in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas). They are in complete agreement with the dates given.
The movements going on are phenomena of the way of the Mahdi. They are movements behind which lie Islamic belief. Are people in Egypt uprising for democracy? Is it a Muslim's aim to achieve democracy? A Muslim's aim is Islam. Democracy is also rooted in the true faiths. Social justice is also an idea that draws on Islam. It is therefore Islam that lies behind the events going on. It is not due to intervention by America. It is metaphysical entities that some people do not know, do not want to know or else that they know but wish they did not, that are directing these events. First and foremost Hazrat Khidr (as). He has hundreds and thousands of his own people and they are managing events, that is what is happening. They say the Arab light has begun shining. It is not the Arab Sun that is rising, but the Sun of Islam. Islam has a Sun that will shine on all mankind. It is the Sun that Bediuzzaman spoke of at the al-Amawi Mosque in Damascus many years before. Martial law is being lifted and democracy is coming. He says that the more democracy comes, the wider the gate to the way of the Mahdi will be opened and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear. He says this will start in 30 or 40 years or after half a century. And things are happening just as he said and at the time he said.
I do not like the style of architecture in modern mosques. Old mosques in the Ottoman style are lovely, especially the Salah ad-Din [Ayyubi] mosques. A mosque is a delightful environment where the human soul finds peace. Praying there is a very different delight and blessing. But there is still a way to go to a climate in which we can pray freely in mosques and walk freely in the streets. Many Muslims are faced by great numbers of plots and trickery. There are all kinds of assassinations, plots and slanders flying about. We are in a difficult time. It may be a good idea not to be seen too much in such a climate.
Atheist masons believe in satan. But there are also religious masons who love and fear Allah. There is a struggle between them and atheist masons. I support the religious masons. I support those masons who believe in the existence and oneness of Allah and who love Islam. We have a due to strive against atheist masons, insha'Allah.
There will also be a rise in earthquakes. That is a feature of the time of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Earthquakes will suddenly cease when Hazrat Mahdi (as) appears, and people will see that. This is a great miracle. From a huge rise they will suddenly come calm with the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Tsunamis and floods and earthquakes will all stop. This is by the blessing of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Allah will make him His instrument, insha'Allah.
Our Prophet (saas) set out the qualities of Hazrat Mahdi (as) who will assume the leadership. People will know everything about Hazrat Mahdi (as); what he will do, his character, his moral values and the comfort he will bestow on people's hearts. They will know Hazrat Mahdi (as) as they do their own children.
Religion and science go hand in hand. The religion commands science. Allah commands us to examine the artistry He has created in the skies. He says we will know the signs He created in the sky and the outside world and in our own bodies. There are many verses about that. I say that science and religion go hand in hand and are not distinct entities. There is no need for religion to be compatible with anything. Allah creates science and scientific findings. Allah created the laws of physics. Scientists discover the laws created by Allah. That is a feature of scientists. A scientist is like a man who finds a gold coin on the street. Allah puts the coin there. He puts gold coins here, there and everywhere. And people find them as they walk around. They discover the laws of Allah. People do not make or invent laws. All physical laws are concealed by Allah. People discover them where they are hidden when the time comes, by Allah's command. Science serves religion. Allah causes science to serve it as He causes people to serve it. He causes technical equipment to serve it.
The Prophet Solomon (as) was a prophet who loved beauty. "O Lord, Your approval is the reason for delight in these objects, in the entities You create" he says. There were all kinds of animals in his palace. There were wild animals and birds and pheasants in his palace. He liked them very much. He even loved ants. He was very affectionate towards them and careful never to tread on them. He was full of love. There were birds and horses he fed. When the horses came he would stroke their necks and legs, Allah tells us. Almighty Allah provides details. Allah shows us how to love. He bestows this love in our souls. The soul is structured to love. Allah creates necks, and the stroking of necks and the delight taken in stroking necks. Why should Allah create it if it is not pleasurable? Allah says he [the Prophet Solomon (as)] strokes their legs. Allah creates that in such a way as to be pleasurable. This is in human nature, the human soul. Allah speaks of the strolling of necks in human nature, in the soul, in the Qur'an. The Prophet Solomon (as) says, "
My Lord, forgive me and give me a kingdom the like of which will never be granted to anyone after me
". And Allah bestows a magnificent beauty on the Prophet Solomon (as). The Prophet Solomon's (as) palace was plated with fine gold. Gold was everywhere. And there were fine tones created by semi-precious stones such as agate and amethyst. These were used in great quantities. The whole palace was decorated with them. Then there were adornments of cloth, curtains of fine fabric. He made a wondrous palace. He was a very tasteful and lovely person. Allah told him what the palace should be like through revelation, how he should make his palace. He built a wide-ranging and lovely palace. He made it into a place of worship, praying there five times a day. All Muslims and he himself used to pray there. He built enormous kitchens for poor there. The spread of cooking meat would radiate for many kilometers around every day. There were barbecues all along the front of his palace. The lovely smell of cooking meat went on all day, and it was handed out to the poor. They slaughtered animals in a lawful manner, pronouncing the name of Allah. His servants had special clothing. All the servants were very elegant. The Prophet Solomon (as) was also very elegant. Everywhere was very clean and sparkling. Allah says there were djinn who obeyed his commands. Millions of djinn were at his command. If he wanted to learn something, he would tell the djinn to find out and come and tell him, and they would tell him what was happening. There were djinn who took pearls out of oysters for him. They produced coral from under the sea. They brought them to the Prophet Solomon (as). There was much detailed work. Allah says he [the Prophet Solomon (as)] built cauldrons that could not be moved. He decorated places with pools and towers, and wonderful works of art and statues. The Prophet Solomon's (as) palace was wonderfully decorated. He constantly gave thanks to Allah. He had 300 wives and 700 concubines. He had a thousand women in total. They dressed very beautifully and were immaculate, and the Prophet Solomon (as) delighted in them. They were by his side in the palace. He looked from one to the other and constantly gave thanks to Allah. He had birds and horses he loved and all kinds of animals. There were trees and flowers, it was a kind of paradise. The whole city of Jerusalem smelt of flowers. Our Prophet (saas) says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will resemble the Prophet Solomon (as) since their times will resemble one another. He will resemble the Prophet in terms of character and a tendency to wealth. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will ask for wealth for Allah. We are talking of a glorious wealth. Our prophet (saas) says he also resembles the Prophet Dhu'lQarnayn (as). The Prophets Solomon (as) and Dhu'lQarnayn (as) are described in the Qur'an in order to describe Hazrat Mahdi (as). I am a great admirer of the Prophet Solomon (as). Of course, Rasulullah (saas) is above them all. He is the greatest Prophet there has ever been. But Allah did not give our Prophet (saas) global dominion. His dominion is in the Hereafter. But Allah gives that sovereignty to his son, to his grandson, to one from his line. What He gives Hazrat Mahdi (as) is much greater than what gave to the Prophet Solomon (as). Therefore, Allah has given the Prophet (saas) more possessions, by bestowing them on his descendant.
But things were gradually distorted, despite there being a true prophet and the true faith. We can see this when we look. He speaks of the coming of a Mahdi (as). He speaks of a single faith ruling the world, of love and affection. There is fasting and giving alms and prayer. One can see when one looks that there is a true faith and that there will be severe distortion in his time. What they must of course do is turn to Islam. Islam is the clearest and purest religion. The others have been corrupted. Changed. I am writing a book that shows where this corruption and change has happened. I show the parts of Christianity and Judaism that have been distorted, insha'Allah. They also contain true parts, and I accept those. I read the Torah and the Gospels every day, with great love and passion, but those parts in agreement with the Qur'an. Allah says it is a light and that it is instrumental in leading people to happiness. It opens up the heart. It is unacceptable for a person to change it and write something entirely different. That is superstition.
Kaçkar TV, 25 February 2011
If Muslims loom rationally and honestly, I think they will see the truth very clearly. There is nothing complex here. The Muslim world are brothers. Sectarian divisions must first be eliminated. There can be no divisions between Nurcus, Nakshibendis, Qadiria, Alawites and Sunnis. They must love one another. Every Muslim must investigate Hazrat Mahdi (as). That is what our Prophet (saas) commands. Our Prophet (saas) describes his activities and the relevant time and place. Activities are described in order to pin down a time and place. Our Prophet (saas) tells us to find Hazrat Mahdi (as) and join him. Even if we have to crawl over snow. We must not ask what good will come from our service. What does that mean? It means we must tell people of the signs leading to faith, of the invalidity of Darwinism and materialism, it means treating all sects with love and telling people of the miracles of the Qur'an. The followers of the Nur are also followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as). The existing system is not to be eliminated. But the way of the Mahdi must take preference over it. You give preference to one form of beauty over another. The way of the Mahdi must be built on that system.
People are not flawless. They have defects. I regard it is as irrational to work against Muslims. No rational person would do that. It is cheap heroism to target Muslims when there are so many irreligious people, materialists and hypocrites around. All those who say 'La ilaha illalAllah Muhammadan Rasulullah' are brothers. Errors can be corrected once we have Islamic Union. From what I can tell, Haydar Baş and his colleagues also know about Hazrat Mahdi (as). They love him. But everyone has defects, of course. If they oppose Darwinism and materialism, that is good. But it would be incompatible with the spirit of the way of the Mahdi for me to stop what I am doing and worry about a few minor errors. I am one of the vanguards of Hazrat Mahdi (as), insha'Allah. Our (intellectual) enemies are Darwinism, materialism and atheism. Bediuzzaman says we have three foes; ignorance, poverty and division. He says we must oppose these with three things: art, knowledge and alliance. By making everyone united as brothers, in other words. In short, Bediuzzaman describes the style of Hazrat Mahdi (as).

CP Railway plans Calgary HQ move to cut costs say unions, source
By Susan Taylor and Nicole Mordant
(Reuters) - Canadian Pacific Railway is planning to relocate much of its head office from downtown Calgary, union officials and a source close to the company said, under a restructuring plan that its new chief executive will detail to investors in early December.
Chief Executive Hunter Harrison told U.S. union leaders and a Canadian union president that Canada's second-biggest railroad will move employees out of its glass-towered headquarters as part of an ambitious cost-cutting plan.
Harrison, a hard-driving, 50-year veteran of the rail industry, was appointed CEO in June to turn around the underperforming railway after a bruising proxy battle ousted his predecessor, as well as the previous chairman and several directors. He is the hand-picked choice of CP's biggest shareholder, William Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management, who launched the proxy fight.
One union official said the head office move was to a nearby Calgary rail yard that CP owns. Details are expected Dec 4 and 5, along with an announcement of further job cuts, when Harrison outlines his plan to improve efficiency at CP.
"They're moving the headquarters to Ogden, which just makes sense," said Bill Brehl, president of the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way union.
"We're a railroad. What were we doing downtown hanging out with the oil barons? Our place is to be in a rail yard," said Brehl, who was told of the plan by Harrison.
Brehl said the company will rebuild the century-old Ogden yard, constructing offices there. CP decided last year to close the Ogden repair shop, constructed in 1912 on land south east of Calgary's city center. It moved locomotive and train car repair elsewhere.
A CP spokesman declined to comment when asked to confirm the move. Continued...

Facebook's acquisition of the immensely popular photo-sharing service Instagram for $1 billion is far and away the largest acquisition in the history of the world's largest social network. But for CEO Kevin Systrom and company, it's a windfall payday like none other.
CEO Systrom owns 40 percent of Instagram, according to a source close to the company, who provided Wired with figures from 2011. That will net Systrom $400 million to take home as a result of the deal. Co-founder Mike Krieger holds about a 10 percent stake, and will net around $100 million. Benchmark Capital, the venture capital firm which led Instagram's Series A funding round in 2011, has about an 18 percent stake, netting roughly $180 million from the deal. Andreessen Horowitz and Baseline Ventures, two investment firms backing Instagram, each have about a 10 percent stake, netting just under $100 million apiece.
The rest of the company's 13 full-time employees will each get a portion of a nearly $100 million pool, with specific amounts awarded by how long the employee has worked at Instagram.
Announced early Monday, Instagram's acquisition by Facebook is a huge win for a small, young company with a massive user base. In the two years since Systrom and Krieger founded Instagram, the photo-sharing app has exploded to a user base of over 30 million on iOS alone. Last week, the app finally became available to Android users for the first time, prompting over 1 million new user signups in the first 12 hours of release.
"This is an important milestone for Facebook because it's the first time we've ever acquired a product and company with so many users," Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his own Facebook page. "But providing the best photo sharing experience is one reason why so many people love Facebook and we knew it would be worth bringing these two companies together."
Facebook was also quick to insist that it would not just make Instagram an appendage of Facebook, anticipating the consternation of the photo-sharing service's legions of fans. "[W]e're committed to building and growing Instagram independently," Zuckerberg wrote. "Millions of people around the world love the Instagram app and the brand associated with it, and our goal is to help spread this app and brand to even more people.
Instagram echoed the message: "It's important to be clear that Instagram is not going away."
It's an unprecedented acquisition for Facebook, and one that Zuckerberg says likely won't happen again. "We don't plan on doing many more of these, if any at all," the CEO wrote in his Facebook status update. Though Facebook is certainly not shy to talent acquisitions; among others, Facebook purchased Gowalla late last year, as well as social service Hot Potato in 2010. However, Facebook only had to spend in the tens of millions on both acquisitions — nothing like the cool billion it dropped on Instagram.
Facebook users have long complained that the company's mobile application for the iPhone, Android and other mobile OSes was terrible, and popular speculation suggested that the company would one day acquire a more polished mobile app. Many assumed that Path — the social app created by former Facebooker Dave Morin — would be the app Facebook would acquire, as it encompassed photo sharing, social discovery and check-ins in a well-designed mobile interface. Morin even turned down a $100 million dollar acquisition offer from Google at one point, reportedly because of unfavorable terms in the deal as requested by Google.Go Back to Top.

Police search for two men after shots fired in Manchester
Lt. Jim Flanagan said the shots were reported at 10:43 p.m. Wednesday, and officers found several shell casings from a .40-caliber pistol.
He said witnesses reported seeing two men, each about 6 feet tall, in their late teens or early 20s, fire off several rounds before fleeing the area.
Nobody was injured and "there is no indication that this was an attempted assault," Flanagan said.
He said a white car with temporary registration plates was seen leaving the area at a high rate of speed and was possibly related to the gunshots.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 668-8711.

Unmarried Father's Parental Rights
Full Video Transcript
When a man and a woman are married and have a child, the man is automatically presumed to be the father. However, a man who was not married to a child's mother does not have any parental rights until his paternity has been legally established. Paternity may be established by the father's acknowledgement or by a paternity test. Once paternity is established, the father obtains legal rights, including the right to petition for custody and visitation and the right to participate in decisions about the child's life. Unfortunately, sometimes unmarried couples don't go through the process of establishing the father's paternity only to find themselves later in legal battles over the father's legal rights. If you are a father with more questions about how assert your rights, contact an attorney today.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice....
I have recently applied to do a CELTA course in Valencia in May however the course is already full so can only do it there in July. I had a look at courses in Madrid and there is a full time CELTA course but not until June. Is Madid still busy in June? Im not sure if everyone leaves for the summer for places nearer to the coast. Also is it unbearably hot at this time?
However there is a part time CELTA course starting in Madrid at the end of March, it lasts for 10 weeks but I think it would end up costing too much to live there for that long so was wondering if anyone knew how easy it is to get a bar job, I have experience and can speak some Spanish?
Anyway if anyone could answer any of my questions or suggest what they think is the best to do I ould be very grateful.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|IMHO ported for the street. none for every thing else.
I agree with Old Bogie, it really depends on all of the car/motor/drive train specifics to determine which of the two ports many possible different benefits are most needed...
here's a Pontiac 455 side by side (different build's) article link on manifold versus ported to add some insight....
|Regal Beagle
|Thanks everyone for the replies. Its amazing how much I have learned over the last 2 days.
Stiffer gearing has less need for vacuum advance as the engine is revving higher which makes it easier to have the centrifugal do the work. Higher gears and a heavier vehicle can use vacuum advance if street driven as the engine isn't spinning so fast. But you will need to customize the vacuum advance.
You can push vacuum advance further into a long duration cam, but you need to have an adjustable "can" so you can make it sensitive to the realistic manifold vacuum numbers. There's no sense in having a vacuum advance that functions with 18 inches of vacuum on idle when you have an engine that only makes 10.
A loose converter lets the engine rev up which once again allows the use of the centrifugal system at low speeds that also allow high engine RPMs.
However, regardless of cam, if you spend a lot of time cruising low and slow and don't want to constantly run in the lower gears to keep the revs up, a vacuum advance can be effective to squeeze the best performance possible under these conditions. But again, as the cam gets bigger, the vacuum will be less, which means the systems response needs to be customized to reality.
Whether or not to use manifold direct or ported vacuum is really dependent on set up. A lot of factors become involved these include the effectiveness of squish/quench, better needs less advance; location of the spark plug, centered in the chamber needs less; mixture turbulence, more needs less, mixture ratio, to a point more needs less, the weakest mixture in a cylinder needs more, this is usually the lower plane of a two plane manifold, single plane manifolds require specific solutions; headers will want more advance as they tend to over-scavenge the cylinder, however, with anti-reversion cones probably less is best. All these kind of things come into play, which makes exact specifics a learning situation.
Full up race engines tend to dispense with advance mechanisms starting with vacuum not because they have some trick unknown to Detroit' engineers, rather it's because as manifold vacuum goes down a vacuum system becomes less and less functional and it brings durability problems and failure modes that out weight it's usefulness. In far out motors, the mechanical advance can be eliminated again for durability and reliability issues that out weigh the usefulness of an engine that runs so fast so much of the time it just needs full advance. These type engines usually separate ignition and fuel flow from cranking, such that at start-up the starter is just spinning the motor without fuel or ignition. This eliminates the chance of backfire when just starting to crank it. Then the fuel is turned on to prime the motor then spark is added to fire it. With modern electronics the choice is there to have a starting retard or running full advance, or to even have electronic advance which has proven to be much less failure prone than mechanical mechanisms on the race track.
|Regal Beagle
And do you hook your advance to ported or manifold vacuum?
Vacuum advance is not a part of "maximum performance" if by that you mean most horsepower at WOT. Vacuum advance is there to increase performance and efficiency at part throttle cruise where the mixture density in the cylinder is low. This causes the burn to proceed to slowly and the exhaust valves open before max temp and pressure is achieved. This throws unburnt fuel out the exhaust. The vacuum advance is intended to provide a longer burn time so combustion can be completed before the e-valve opens.
This is a subject that always draws out both sides.
Personally, I always ran ported on my truck. When I really got into researching it, I decided to do some real world testing. I "T'd" in a vacuum gauge and went for a long drive. Up some hills, down some hills, mild acceleration and hard acceleration. I took good notes on speed and my best guess on pedal position and vacuum readings on hills and cruising, following the same route one time on ported and one time on manifold vacuum.
My bottom line was that at cruise, I had almost identical vacuum readings, and identical timing added, whether on ported or manifold. During idle, of course I had max advance on manifold and no added advance on ported. At WOT, there was no vacuum signal so neither added anything.
When going from an easy cruise to a harder acceleration, on manifold vacuum, the vac. signal falls off very quickly, which is good since the mix goes rich quickly once the metering rods OR power valve are now open and giving a rich mixture.
From all I could tell, the biggest advantage is the added timing at idle, which, depending on cam selection, can be a great bonus in idle quality and a boost in idle vacuum. For me, the biggest drawback is when emissions testing comes around. Idling with 18 degrees of combined timing, my HC% levels are through the roof. If I just pull over before going in and yank the hose, my HC% is always within spec.
So for now, i'm running manifold vacuum for a little better idle quality since my cam is a tad tall for my converter stall.
and now back to work!
|To give a slight explanation of it, I have delt with some GM vehicles that ran better with it on a ported source, but most ran best with manifold. Idle and off idle cruise mixtures are lean, and lean mixtures burn slower than rich mixtures, this is where the extra advance comes into play. When I was running my cutlass, I had it on a ported vacuum running a mild 350 chevy. The thing was a slug on low end, I kept wondering why it had no bottom end power, it had a RV cam and 9.5:1 compression, headers, a dual plane intake and a small 625 demon jr carb. it had really poor throttle response and drank gas. Then one day on here I complained about it and was told to set the base timing with the vac advance disconnected and plugged to 12 degrees, then reconnect the vac advance to a manifold source, I did so and it felt like it picked up 50 horses, it was really sensitive throttle response wise and a pleasure to drive. Fuel economy went up as well. Since then I`ve stuck to manifold vacuum unless it runs better on a ported.
|Regal Beagle
Thanks for the help fellas.
|Irelands child
In general, and my rule of thumb - a Ford=ported vacuum. A GM=manifold vacuum. But of course there are exceptions just to make life interesting
Dave W
|Greg T
|Full manifold vac will aid in cooler city driving and better throttle response because your low speed and idle timing will be more advanced. Use manifold vacuum.
At WOT it doesn't matter which way it's hooked up. The ported side just keeps the vacuum advance from moving the spark until you move the throttle. This will help part throttle drive-ability and economy and provide a more stable idle. When you are at WOT engine vacuum is at zero.
The vacuum adv. canister should only see vacuum at off idle cruise speeds.
This is my take...
Go with manifold vacuum
Here's a quote from a posting on this forum:
For peak engine performance, driveability, idle cooling and efficiency in a street-driven car, you need vacuum advance, connected to full manifold vacuum. Absolutely. Positively.

Ported Vacuum or Manifold Vacuum?
I was adjusting my idle mixture today and speaking to a mechanic friend for some assistance to be sure I got it right. My distributer was hooked up to the ported vacuum port but my friend says it needs to be hooked up to the manifold vacuum side of my Edelbrock Performer. I switched it over and adjusted the idle and got the car running and performing well much the same as when it was hooked up to the ported side.
My question is which side do I need to have my distributer hooked up to for maximum performance?

Hi Everyone,
I am posting about a dilemma written many times over. I have searched through the forum and read everything I could, to find answers to my ? prior to making this post.
So here is the issue, I have contacted Joey at CA Boots about fitting me with some boots, the smallest he has is a womans size 9 (a bit too big), I am looking for a 7.5. Or should I get the larger size and adapt them some how?He is still looking into it. :thumbup
Any suggestions as to where I can find a reputable pair made or where would be a good starting point at least. I know Wes has done some and MC is no longer doing them so where is a girl to turn?
I read, someone had some made in the U.K. and I pm'd that person.
I am not opposed to trying my hand at making some with the right base, as many have done due to the fact that suppliers are slim.
So any help is much needed and appreciated.
All of you are a great help and there is tons of info here, I just am stuck.
I've have referenced this forum many times.
Thanks again,

This web site is intended to provide information to the public concerning snakes native to Louisiana. Much of the content has been taken from Snakes of Louisiana by Jeff Boundy. This book provides a more detailed analysis of the subject and is available from the Office of the Louisiana Conservationist
For more informtion contact Jeff Boundy firstname.lastname@example.com
Snakes are a fascinating part of Louisiana's natural heritage, but are also a source of much worry and fear among Louisiana residents and visitors. Most of Louisiana's snakes are harmless, and many are beneficial as predators of insects and rodents, as a source of income for reptile collectors, and as a necessary component of the food chain or "balance of nature." The fear of snakes in general, and particularly the venomous species, can be alleviated by understanding the behavior of snakes, and the limits of the threat they may pose to humans.
Snakes are an important component of the ecosystem as predators and as prey for other wildlife. They tend to be secretive, and when not searching for food or mates will usually remain hidden. Some snakes, particularly small ones, will feed almost daily, while large snakes may feed only once every week or two. During the mating season, usually in spring or early fall, male snakes may travel extensively to search for mates. During the warmer part of the year many snakes become nocturnal and are infrequently encountered by humans.
Snakes are not aggressive except when defending themselves. They do not pursue people, although they may swim or crawl toward someone they don't recognize as a threat. Venomous snakes are unable to strike a distance more than their body length, even less for large rattlesnakes. Thus, a distance of only five or six feet can be considered "safe" for any venomous snake in Louisiana. Despite the quickness of some snakes such as racers and coachwhips, they cannot crawl faster than five miles per hour, and can be easily outdistanced by a person.
The chief enemies of snakes are predators (hawks, owls, wild pigs, skunks, etc.), humans, automobiles, and habitat destruction. Snake populations can be maintained against any of these odds except for the latter.

Sorry women, but this is not over yet. Other concerns that need to take some prescience in a home remodeling project are electrical wiring and plumbing. If you live in a new home and know that these two issues are good, then perhaps a quick inspection of your home's plumbing and electrical is all you will need.
Most utility companies are encouraging homeowners practice risk awareness for their household electricity usage. You can do this best by being aware of the changing costs of energy and make sure your home is as up to date as possible. This starts with the roof, foundation cracks, gradually sinking foundations, insulation and electrical systems.
If you have a home, but little knowledge of either of these issues, then you really do need to call in an electrician and plumber for a home inspection. If you live in an older home and it has been several years since you have had an inspection done, then this is the time to get it done. Some older homes are not up to the city or county code and have an array of fire hazard risks.
Sustain your family safe year around knowing that your electrical system and plumbing system is up to date and within code. Everything these days is Eco-friendly and energy efficient. Both of these probably cannot be done all at one time unless you have unlimited funds to make the necessary changes. However, little by little these changes can be made to insure you are not overpaying on any of them and your family is comfortable and cozy.
It is recommended to have your water tested at intervals, regardless of where your water supply comes. It is recommended by the EPA/government,Windows,to test drinking water for lead. Every homeowner needs to be aware of what they are drinking in their water supply. Certified filters on faucets that you drink from should be on your list of things to replace in the home when remodeling. Special water pictures kept in the refrigerator with filters are another answer to drinking lead-free water. Homeowners need to know some basic facts first about the water they are drinking and if there is an odor, taste, color, or rust present. Know what your plumbing system is made out of and if this is not up to date this change needs to be done for the health and wellness of the home's occupants.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
thanks for the link.....the reason i need to find a sealent for it is cause i need a TEMPORARY solution to it leaking...i just spent dang near six hundred dollar on a complete custom stereo and realized it was leaking right after that....normally i could get by with just tarping it till i had the money to fix it its just i dont want any moisture getting into the interior cause it could ruin the new audio stuff...i know it may sound like i blew it off but i really didnt realize it was leaking till all of the stereo was installed and it got rained on for the first time...talk about a bad suprise...i guess if anyone can think of anything then please drop me a line...thanks,
First read this post . When you're done and if you still have specific questions ask them then.
When it comes to sealing your windshield, I would have it removed and resealed by a professional. Modern vehicles use the windshield as part of the structure of the car and if the seal has failed it could be dangerous in an accident and effect your built in crumple zone's strength.
GOT two questions...a leaking windsheild and primer
Ok guys heres my situation...i have a 1986 grand am that every time it rains the entire top of the windsheild leaks and its causing my headline to fall down...i was wondering if there was some kinda cheap sealer i can use to fix it for the time being till i have the money to get the windsheild resealed....my other question is about my grand am used to be blue and it looks like absolute dog crap because it had a cheap paint job over the original blue paint and its pealing off in place and just genrally looks like crap....what i was planning to do is start out with like the rear trunk lid and work my way around and just spray it with rattle can primer...what should i do as far as prep...and keep in mind i got alot of free time...any help will be greatly apreciated,

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 261, January 10, 2003
MPI Programming Class on AGN
All local ARSC users are invited to participate in the following class:
Intermediate MPI Programming February 6, 13, 20, and 27, 2003 (Every Thursday in February) 9am - 12noon, Alaska Time, each day. Butrovich 109, on the UAF campus
The instructors will start with material beyond the basics. This is an chance to expand your MPI skills past send and recv, e.g.:
- Perform *true* parallel I/O with MPI at both the basic and advanced levels.
- Determine which parallel tasks require the use of Intercommunicators vs. Intracommunicators and what is the difference between them?
- How to define your own operators in the generic MPI_Reduce() routine. (A powerful capability)
- Distinguish between Probing and Receiving messages. For example, probing can allow you to dynamically allocate the exact memory needed.
- Create general (i.e., non-Cartesian) virtual topologies. Intermix the C++ and Fortran 90 languages with the MPI Library calls.
For more details, see:
ARSC will participate over the Access Grid, along with thirteen other Universities and computing centers. ARSC users register at:
http://www.arsc.edu/calendar/mpiworkshop.html ( Past Event )
If you're a novice MPI user or just wondering whether (or how) to parallelize your code, you're always invited to contact ARSC consulting ( firstname.lastname@example.com ).
ARSC consultants and specialists are available for quick advice via email or phone as well as one-on-one appointments to discuss your application and help you get off to a good start.
Disk Quotas and Checking them on SP & Regatta
Disk quotas have been implemented on ARSC's two large IBM systems, icehawk and iceflyer. As on other ARSC systems, quotas help prevent overfilling disks and suffering the consequences. This is also a step in preparation for conversion to ARSC's new storage servers.
The "qcheck" script on both icehawk and iceflyer makes it trivial to determine your current quota and usage on all available file systems. Simply type:
icehawk2$ qcheck FILESYSTEM KBused SOFTLIMIT HARDLIMIT GRACE local:$WRKDIR 6004464 10240000 10342400 local:$HOME 90816 1024000 1126400 chilkoot:/viztmp 8364 1843200 2048000 chilkoot:/allsys/$HOME 2542592 9216000 10240000
Here's what the columns are:
- HARDLIMIT: Maximum storage you're permitted. The system will not let you write more than this.
- SOFTLIMIT: If you exceed this amount, you have a limited time to get back under this limit before the system will block future attempts to write.
- GRACE: The time remaining to get usage back under the soft limit.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ A reader asked this... more of a poll than a quick-tip, but might [[ be interesting: [[ [[ "Do people use .f versus .f90 for free/fixed format? or do they use [[ the -free and -fixed sort of compiler arguments? Is anyone writing [[ free format?" # # Thanks to Tom Logan of ARSC: # Being a C programmer, I would prefer to convert all Fortran code into that language. Failing that, at least one has free format to work with. I use .f90 as much as possible. I find the fixed format rather confining whenever I try to use variables with meaningful names. Often, I convert .f files into .f90 files when I first get them. Conversion for fixed to free format is a simple process - yet it can be time consuming. In my experience, this conversion only requires changing all comment lines to use '!' as the sentinel and changing all continuation lines to use an '&' at the end of the line and nothing at the beginning of the next line. I will often just try to compile the code as .f90 and look for compiler errors. This shows exactly which lines of source code need to be changed. # # Thanks to Jeff McAllister of ARSC: # Free format is great! I've always disliked that time-warp sensation that comes from simulating punched cards with a modern text editor. It just made my brain hurt to think of all that effort counting character positions just to fit some obsolete standard. Reformatting is easy. For shorter programs the compiler will quickly find the multi-line statements that need to be changed. For longer programs there are several conversion utilities (I just wrote my own in a few lines of perl). Once you make the switch you'll never want to go back. Unfortunately, the problem isn't always as simple as format. Attempting conversion is a great way to find places with convoluted, ugly code that a) is really hard to understand and b) probably isn't working the way you think it is. These subroutines can be kept in old fixed-form format while you rewrite them. You'll need to sooner or later anyway. These sections of code are likely to cause problems when compilers get upgraded or you move to a new system. Q: Perl should make this easy... but it's driving me nuts! In this example, I want to use search and replace to eliminate the bold html tags from some lyrics I've been working on, replacing the formerly emboldened text with the same text, prefaced by the word "really". E.g.: The weather is here, I wish you were mine, the sky is so cloudy, I sleep and I pine. Here's my perl script: #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w $all = join '', <>; $all =~ s (.*) really $1 gsi; print "$all"; The script puts the entire file into one string so it can search across line breaks. The modifiers to "s" are: g : match every occurance (not just the first) s : match newline characters with "." i : ignore case Here's the output: The weather is here, I really wish you were mine, the sky is so cloudy, I sleep and I pine. You can see for yourself what happened. Has anyone else ever had this problem? What can I do?

They have been with us throughout the ages: the "Invisible College" of wisdom and their adversaries, the destroyers. The history of the world is their story - a conspiracy as vast as time itself.
Naples, Italy, circa 1764: A young aristocrat is about to stumble onto one piece of the great pattern. As witness to a vicious assassination and victim of his passion for the beautiful daughter of his enemy, young Sigismundo Celine is forced to begin a mystical odyssey amidst an ageless clash of Freemasons, Mafia, and the Illuminati.
Sigismundo begins his journey of discovery accompanied by the boy Mozart, the immortal Dr. Frankenstein, and the infamous Casanova as the forces of light and darkness seek to claim him for their own. For all are certain that he is the long-awaited one whose powers - can he but master them - will remold the destiny of the entire world.
Before Dan Brown, Umberto Eco, and The X-Files, there was Robert Anton Wilson and The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles. Beginning in 1982 with The Earth Will Shake, Wilson set out to trace the conspiratorial and philosophical underpinnings of Western history. By the third and final novel, the Chronicles expose the historical cross-currents of Freemasonry, the American Revolution, Rosicrucians, the Marquis de Sade, and the Illuminati, revealing a saga as elaborate and startling as history ought to be!
©1982 Robert Anton Wilson; (P)2006 Deepleaf Productions Inc.
"A delicious treat....Wilson is a vivid portraitist with a perfervid imagination, and he regales his readers with occasional infusions of wit. Buy and enjoy." (Analog)
"More important than Ulysses or Finnegan's Wake" (Timothy Leary)
Management consultant, video game player, avid reader of all types of books, and happily married father of four. I'll read just about anything, from Fantasy and SciFi, to mysteries and ChickLit.
"A powerful start to the series"
While starting out a little slowly (not for lack of drama - the book starts with a murder during Sunday mass in the church), the book steadily builds up momentum while weaving together narrative threads like the complementary harmonics of a sonata.
Intrigue, murder, lust, revenge, class conflict, conspiracy, the book covers the gamut of topics and ties them together in the central character of a somewhat likeable, but very human, Napoli musician - Sigismundo. Starting with the character aged 14 years, and following him for the next six to seven years, the book takes him through his slow maturation while introducing an increasingly complex series of plot elements.
Where is the rest of the series, I need closure!
"Not for Everyone"
If you are easily offended by material which questions orthodoxy, stay away from this book, but if you are interested in alternative views of the Universe and the nature of gods and men in the Universe, this book may be for you. While the narration could have been better, it didn't undermine an interesting and thought-provoking story.
Another thing to consider is that this story ends very abruptly just about the time that it gets going strong. Considering that the sequel, The Widow's Son, has been out for awhile and has yet to make an appearance on Audible, don't expect to get closure any time soon.
I wish the rest of this series as well as the Schroedinger's Cat trilogy were currently available. Oh, well, a boy can dream.
"Great second look at history and philosophy"
Very engrossing tale; VERY disappointing at the end - it ended quite abruptly and the next book in the series is not yet available!
"Hugely entertaining and informative."
Robert Anton Wilson described himself as "agnostic about everything" and called his writing an attempt to break down conditioned associations and look at the world in new ways. It is with this understanding tucked under our hats that we approach "The Earth will Shake". This is the first of three books in a series called the "The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles" and follows the adventures of a young Neapolitan noble, Sigismundo Celine. Set in the late 18th century, Sigismundo is a young man perfectly conditioned to his station in life. A member of a wealthy aristocratic family, he is dutiful to the codes and expectations of his class and is a devout and obedient catholic. Piece by piece Sigismundo is impelled by circumstance to begin questioning everything he believes. Beneath a worldview dominated by the Church of Rome and policed by the brutal Dominican's he discovers a subculture of secret societies and heretical thinking, but even here truth is difficult to determine. In his search Sigismundo must explore deep within himself and learn to question everything he is told. Along the way there is plenty of adventure, a swift flowing plot and a bounty of interesting and complex characters to keep the listener engaged. For those who enjoyed John Crowley's "Aeygpt", this novel covers similar ground but is an eminently easier listen. Wilson was an erudite writer with a great skill for disseminating psychological and esoteric concepts within the framework of a fictional story. This is a superior audio production with an excellent narrator. A hugely entertaining and profound work. Well written and deeply appreciated by this reviewer.
This book is a slow starter but it will teach and entertain you to the very end. I cannot wait for the next part!
"Tedious and downright boring..."
This adolescent journal of a young man's rather hallucinational state of mind is not at all what I expected from the description of this novel. I suppose there's some insight into the secret society of freemasonry and its influence, but the author has chosen to follow the main character's emotional state rather than developing a strong story line. The story is, in fact, virtually non-existant and you reach the end wondering what message the author wished to convey. The narrator speaks so dully that he sounds bored, too.
I am not expecting great literature from a book about the Illuminati... but I did expect something a *little* more interesting. Perhaps I just didn't get that far, but the earth never even trembled a little for me. I am willing to put up with adolescent self-absorption, and the author's occasional preciousness, and even when my attention wandered, I could pick the story back up again when something happened. It was the second interminable day of unrelieved sermonizing by a sanctimonious Dominican priest that did me in. My iPod battery ran down at that point, and I was not in the least bit tempted to continue listening. Yes, I understand that the priest's point of view represents the church, and its expression is necessary to delineate the moral choices faced by the protagonist -- but do we have to be clubbed into unconsciousness with it?
Unless you're looking for something to put you to sleep, pass on this one...
"Very disapointed"
I read a number of very positive reviews, and that was the only reason I saw this one through to the end. The story was tedious and uninteresting. Aside from mentioning that the characters had ties to masons and illuminati, there was really no insight into either. The narration is what ultimately did me in; at no point did the narrator attempt to to give voice to any of the characters. I've heard more enthusiasm in a Librivox recording, and that is saying a lot. It ended abruptly in a very aggravating way, and there was nothing about this book that made me interested in moving on to book two.
More depth to the secret organizations was needed, not just depth in characters.
Paul Michael may have assisted in making the story more audibly appealing. He has a great voice and I believe could accomplish the period speak much more successfully, and he definitely would have given the characters their own personalities, which this book needed.
Interesting, great narration, great book that offers something different, i have now got his trilogy,fantastic.

Evil Bia Games (Not a registered business yet but once complete team is in place will be registered as an LLC)
Project name:
Hedron Online
Brief description:
Hedron Online is an MMORPG in creation. It will feature 4 levels of PvP including Kingdom vs Kingdom with 4 Kingdoms. It will also be very heavily guild oriented with built in guilds as well as the opportunity to integrate an outside guild fully into the game permanently with a guild village, house, merchants, quests, trade, and other perks. It will offer niche quests (i.e. race, deity, guild specific quests) and moving quests as well as be group and team oriented. It will also offer in-game events which will permanently alter the game. These things give a gaming experience that will be different each time you play with a new character as opposed to an "assembly line" style of play. The goal is to integrate some old school gaming style with newer gaming style in order to recapture the fun factor that has been lost in some games of today. You can find much more information on our website and blog.

Snippet of the backstory which can be read in its entirety on the blog:
...Once their creation was complete they were exhausted of most of their Immortal powers. They needed a long and deep slumber to replenish their powers or they could die and Hedronasar would falter. Death was very much capable of meeting the two as they were too young still to have true immortality. They decided to use the last of their power to create demigods from some of the most respected and achieved inhabitants of their land. They charged these demigods with overseeing various aspects of the land as well as its inhabitants while they slept. These aspects were Life, Death, Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Sun, Moon, Time, Energy, Pain, Fate, Mind, Body, Spirit, and Soul. These demigods had Immortal powers similar to Hedronyra and Asarki. They could create, intervene, and had instant Immortal knowledge of all things and histories concerning the world of An that were known to Hedronyra and Asarki. They could not damage, destroy, or kill anyone or anything in Hedronasar unless it be by a mortal method. They were also granted immortality so that they could not die.
The first three years were rather smooth. Hedronasar flourished and held no conflict. But all good things never seem to last. Greed set into some of the demigods and they began to abuse their powers. The demigods of the elements earth, air, fire, and water were the first to rebel. It started with simple things-creating new breeds of insects, animals, and plant life. Once they discovered how polished their abilities had become they began to yearn for the devotion that Hedronyra and Asarki had from Hedronasar's inhabitants. With this greed for power they did the unspeakable. They altered the race of Giants by rooting their elemental aspects within them and demanded to be worshipped by them...
