Bismil-Laahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. 'Assalaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatul-laahi wa barakaatuh,
I. It is mentioned on this site in the chapter "Tafkheem and Tarqeeq Part 2" in the section "Letters that are Lightened Sometimes and are Made Heavy Other Times" that the 'alif follows the letter preceding it as to tafkheem or tarqeeq. Does a fat-hah (without 'alif) also follow the letter beneath it as to tafkheem or tarqeeq?
II. In 41 : 44 the second hamzah of 'a'a'jamiyyun is to be read with tas-heel. I know the definition of tas-heel: easy articulation, midway between 'alif and hamzah, but I do not understand it. Is there anything between 'alif, a vowel, and hamzah, a consonant? Perhaps what is meant, is that the hamzah is lightened. Maybe a transcription or even a phonetical explanation would be helpful, as recordings go very fast.
III. When is the publication of Part 3 of "Tajweed Rules of the Qur'an" planned?
Jazaakal-laah. Salaamun 'alaikum wa rahmatul-laahi wa barakaatuh.
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
1. Yes, the vowels on the tafkheem letter also have tafkheem and this is a very good question. The sound of a voweled letter comes out with the vowel, so the vowel must have all of the characteristics that the letter has, otherwise it will not have the true sound required. This is most notable when a letter has a shaddah on it.
2. It is not possible to the best of our knowledge to give a phonetical explanation of . The learning of the Qur'an rules is a face to face learning, and we are only assisting in this by writing down rules and explanations in English. The true learning is done by reciting to a mastered teacher who corrects the student and recites to the student correctly. In , the hamzah is lightened in that there is a minimum dependence on its articulation point, and thus the word . The sound is half way in between a true hamzah and an alif, or as we sometimes explain to students, a "dead" or "sleeping" hamzah.
3. Tajweed Rules of the Qur'an Part three by Sister Kareema Czerepinski has been submitted to the publisher and it is awaiting approval from the Ministry of Information, then insha' Allah will be printed.
Wa iyyaakum. Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

The Rockstar Energy Triple Crown series nears the end of its championship battle and only eight points separated first and second place in the chase for the 100k Triple Crown prize money. Round 3 of the Championship battle was hosted inside the Videotron Centre in Quebec City.
Dylan Wright #12 – SX1:
After a disappointing opening round of the SX Tour in Montreal, Dylan Wright was sidelined for round two and made his return to racing at round three in the SX1 class. With SX1 teammate in a championship battle, the added competition would prove to be a factor. Qualifying for the night show in 9th place, speculations that Dylan's motives for the night's racing were in question so the GDR Honda team decided to have Dylan sit out from the night's racing to avoid any discrepancies.
Colton Facciotti #45 – SX1:
The tension around the points battle between Facciotti and Triple Crown Series leader, Cole Thompson was peaking in Quebec City. The gap was only 8 points with two main events left to go. With aggressive riding coming into play several times earlier in the Triple Crown series, Facciotti's strategy was to get the holeshot and check out for the Main Event win and avoid drama. Getting another Royal Distributing Holeshot, Colton clicked off clean laps while leading the entire main event until disaster struck in the last corner from a charging Cole Thompson. Facciotti was ejected across the finish line, but did not remount and went to the hospital for further evaluation. This now drops Facciotti down 11 points from the Triple Crown title with one main event left. At this time, it's unknown if Colton will be recovered to race round 4.

Domination. Fox riders Brett Rheeder, Andreu Lacondeguy and Ethan Nell sweep the podium at the world's toughest mountain bike event!
In his sixth trip to Red Bull Rampage, Brett Rheeder showed the perfect combination of speed, amplitude, and his patented style to take the top step of the podium and his first Rampage win. His huge styled out flat 360 was done on a line only he attempted and helped to separate him from the competition with a final score of 89.66. He only needed that first run score and his second became a victory lap after waiting out the runs of his competitors. Brett adds this victory to a stunning list of achievements in the sport of Freestyle Mountain Biking. Congrats Brett!
Watch Brett Rheeder Winning Run
Always a fan favorite, 2014 Redbull Rampage winner and Mountain Bike legend Andreu Lacondeguy showed passion and precision as he pulled out all the stops and pushed his Fox teammate Brett Rheeder to the limits with his final run. Adding his iconic style to giant airs during his second run he was on a burner until a late crash cemented his second place position with his incredible first run score of 87.33 - only 2 points behind Rheeder. Another Rampage podium adds to his already astonishing competition history, and you can bet he'll be back with his eyes on the top step for 2019!
Watch Andreu Lacondeguy Second Place Run
At only 21 years of age, Ethan Nell has already positioned himself as one of the most exciting new stars in the world of Freestyle Mountain Biking with his second podium at Rampage. Only 2 years ago, Ethan was digging for competitors like Andreu Lacondeguy. He got his first shot at the event in 2017 and made the most of it with a 3rd place finish. He had to up his game dramatically this year to maintain that podium position. His aggressive riding style and in-depth knowledge of the terrain in Virgin, Utah set his first run apart and came in at 86.33 - good enough to best everyone except his two Fox teammates. Big things are on the horizon for Ethan, and we expect him to keep climbing that podium in 2019 and beyond!
Watch Ethan Nell's Third Place Run
Brett, Andreu, and Ethan are part of the Fox MTB Global Freestyle team and compete in our podium proven products including the Rampage Pro Carbon helmet and Flexair jersey's, pants and gloves.

Bike crusty
Artist Sollars created a waterfront studio in the Bayview and repurposed a series of barnacle-encrusted objects pulled in from the bay for use back in town, including this bike. A bike from Davey Jones locker with a crusty, patinaed finish has us wondering what bikes are at the bottom of Elliott Bay in Seattle or the canals in Amsterdam.
What steel survives the bay?
In 2010, FITC commissioned art bikes we rode them around Amsterdam, and left them behind in a bike rack.
Art bikes in a rack
Wonder where those are now?

A summary of today's roster analysis:
@2ksports couldnt get even get trades right after THE TRADE DEADLINE. @nba2kinsider should be ashamed. @ronnie2k will surely back him up tho
— Rashidi (@Real2KInsider) February 22, 2013
I wasn't wrong.
Looks like someone can't handle the truth.@ronnie2k @2ksports @nba2kinsider #NBA2K13 twitter.com/Real2KInsider/…
— Rashidi (@Real2KInsider) February 23, 2013
There are four players on the wrong teams. THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE. Read a transaction list for christ's sake. There is simply no justifiable reason why rosters shouldn't be 100% accurate on a day all fans expect them to be.
...Or maybe this IS rocket science? That makes me a mother ****ing genius since I CAN keep up with trades, signings, and the player ratings of an entire league. I'm starting to like this irrational world 2K Sports lives in.

Monthly Edits
Nov: 16
Dec: 39
Jan: 44
Feb: 18
Kyrie Irving
89 Overall (+1)
99 Handle (+5)
96 Security (+8)
2K Sports now seems to be changing ratings based on Rising Stars game performances. God forbid someone on the Cavaliers besides Kyrie Irving get a player edit either. I'm half surprised that they didn't give him Ankle Breaker signature skill either, but that would have required slighty more effort or ingenuity. We can't have that going around the company!
Courtney Lee
74 Overall (+2)
57 OffAwr (+5)
81 DefAwr (+11)
I suppose Lee deserved this, but he also deserved many decreases as well, particularly to his 85 3pt rating (35% down from 40%) which is quite overpowered in conjunction with his Spot Up Shooter and Corner Specialist signature skills.
Editor's Note: I have Lee at 57/80 Off/DefAwr in my "Real NBA 2K13" roster.
Terrence Williams
73 Overall (-3)
80 Close (-10)
74 Medium (-3)
74 OBDef (-6)
56 OffAwr (-4)
52 DefAwr (-6)
Williams was re-added to the game after being removed when he signed in China. His ratings have dropped since then as 76 Overall was obviously way too high for a guy that couldn't even crack the Detroit Pistons out of training camp. Williams should get the chance of a lifetime on a depleted Celtics squad, but he still has to earn a contract for the rest of the season.
Danilo Gallinari
77 Overall (+1)
80 Medium (+4)
84 3pt (+3)
72 Traffic (+3)
58 OffReb (+7)
Over Gallinari's last 10 games he is averaging 21.8 points and 6.0 rebounds. However going by Gallinari's season numbers there wasn't much of an incentive to upgrade these. Given that Gallinari was already edited in-depth a few weeks ago, it would be nice if 2K Sports would get around to the HUNDREDS of players who haven't gotten a single update all season.
Josh McRoberts (64/PF) from Magic
J.J. Redick (72/SG) from Magic
Ishmael Smith (71/PG) from Magic
Gustavo Ayon (64/C) from Magic
Jordan Crawford (75/SG) from Wizards
Dexter Pittman (55/C) from Heat
Dahntay Jones (73/SF) from Mavericks
Patrick Patterson (75/PF) from Rockets
Toney Douglas (72/PG) from Rockets
Cole Aldrich (59/C) from Rockets
Beno Udrih (68/PG) from Bucks
Tobias Harris (68/SF) from Bucks

Hakim Warrick (65/PF) Magic (Waived on 2/21)
Charles Jenkins (62/PG) Warriors (Traded to 76ers on 2/21)
Jeremy Tyler (61/PF) Warriors (Traded to Hawks on 2/21)
Kenyon Martin (76/PF) Free Agents (Signed 10-day contract with Knicks on 2/21)
Editor's note: Jenkins, Tyler, and Martin were placed on their respective teams in a 2/23 update. These were the sole changes in that roster.
Kevin Jones (PF) - Cavaliers (17 games, 9.5 mpg)
Jarvis Varnado (PF) - Heat (9 games, 3.8 mpg)
Kevin Murphy (SG) - Jazz (12 games, 3.1 mpg)
Mike James (PG) - Mavericks (16 games, 9.6 mpg, played 539 games prior to this season)
Julyan Stone (PG/SG) - Nuggets (2 games, 5.5 mpg, played 22 games prior to this season)
Ben Hansbrough (PG/SG) - Pacers (20 games, 7.4 mpg)
Patrick Beverley (PG) - Rockets (15 games, 13.7 mpg)
Aron Baynes (C) - Spurs (6 games, 5.8 mpg)
Diante Garrett (SG) - Suns (7 games, 4.7 mpg)
Mickael Gelabale (SF) Timberwolves (15 games, 21.1 mpg, played 109 games prior to this season)
Chris Johnson (C/PF) - Timberwolves (10 games, 12.0 mpg, played 41 games prior to this season)
Kent Bazemore (SG/SF) - Warriors (37 games, 4.9 mpg)
It has been months since a missing player has been added to the game, and there is no excuse for many of these players to be missing especially at this point in the season.
Patrick Beverley recently tweeted Ronnie Singh (Ronnie2K), asking if he was going to be added to the roster. Ronnie lied to Beverley (or perhaps was misinformed) about being included in the 2/12 update.
@ronnie2k I hope I'm on there!!!!
— Patrick Beverley (@patbev21) February 12, 2013
Rather than be honest with Beverley, Ronnie instead covered his ass and lied about the reason why Beverley was absent from the 2/12 roster.
@patbev21 You are!
— Ronnie 2K 2K13 (@Ronnie2K) February 12, 2013
Fast-forward three days to the following update, and it's clear Beverley wasn't "pulled" last minute. This was a cop-out by a 2K Sports employee who has no idea what is going on with the actual product, and perfectly illustrates the lack of professionalism that has gone into 2K's rosters over the past decade, and more prominently, the last five.
@patbev21 was told this morning that you were pulled from update. Sorry dude but I told Insider to prioritize you
— Ronnie 2K 2K13 (@Ronnie2K) February 12, 2013
We have been marketed "Living Rosters", the "NBA Today", and an NBA "Insider" as key features within the game. Yet it's more apparent than ever that 2K simply doesn't take any of this seriously even though the majority of their fanbase does... and it irks me that 2K employees still pretend to treat the Insider as an actual person we can pass information along to. You'd have a better chance convincing me that CORPORATIONS are people, much less the 2K Insider.
Danny Granger is back in advance of his return from injury. Granger is expected to return within the next couple days and will immediately make the Pacers an elite online team.
Deron Williams returns from an injury he never should have had in the first place, returning the Nets to online respectability.

A Day with Gwen
Gwen and Tonya are buddies. So I brought one of my blocks from Tonya's book, Word Play Quilts.
Here's the piece I started in class. I thought I was going to make something else, but I was so inspired by Gwen's work and the older applique she showed.
When Gwen suggested we start with a vase, this picture came to mind. Can you tell?
Meanwhile, the Pojagi is growing. I'm thinking about adding a few more inches so it will fit in the back door window.

Glad you had a fantastic time! I love the piece that you started, strikingly similar to the actual vase. The Pojagi is fantastic!

Oh you are a lucky duck!!
That class with Gwen must have been fun. I like your tulips and vase. And all the great quilts in your slideshow in the sidebar too.
I'm so glad we got to hang out and do our quilty stuff together at Victoria's place.
Helen and I went back to the American Folk Art Museum on Saturday to see part 2 of the quilt show, and we saw a green eyelash quilt. We looked at each other and said "Nifty!" I'll email you some photos.
Hugs, Karen

What fun you must have had playing with Gwennie. I love your applique and YES I can easily see where you derived your inspiration. Love the growing Pojagi. How do you plan to hang it? Or have you decided that yet? Rather than buying a blind for my back door window, I am inspired to create a Pojagi.

Jack Warner says FIFA will 'never change' under Blatter as president seeks fifth term
- Sepp Blatter set to stand for a fifth term as FIFA president
- Jack Warner a former ally of Blatter's before resigning from FIFA in disgrace
- Warner warns that FIFA will not change with Blatter in charge
FIFA will 'never change' while Sepp Blatter remains president, according to his former ally Jack Warner.
Warner quit FIFA in disgrace following a corruption scandal in 2011, after three decades as an executive committee member.
The Trinidadian politician has continued to be caught in allegations surrounding payments made by another ex-FIFA member, Qatar's Mohamed Bin Hammam.
Hitting out: Jack Warner has slammed his former ally at FIFA Sepp Blatter
Blatter is expected to announce on Wednesday at FIFA's Congress in Sao Paulo that he will stand for a fifth term as president. But Warner, who played a key role in securing Blatter's original election, said it was time he stepped down.
Warner told ITV News: 'If Blatter had one modicum of decency he wouldn't even be at FIFA still.
'I have been with FIFA for 30 years... I am still the longest serving elected officer of FIFA, and under Mr Blatter? I am saying to you under Mr Blatter, FIFA will never change.'
Meanwhile, on Monday Blatter claimed allegations of corruption surrounding the Qatar 2022 World Cup bid have been steered by 'discrimination and racism'.
The Sunday Times published further allegations this week regarding Bin Hammam, claiming it has received 'hundreds of millions' of documents some of which show payments he authorised to football officials during the bidding process for the tournament.
However, Blatter told the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Congress in Sao Paulo on Monday that the media reports are a 'storm against FIFA'.
Revelations: The Trinidadian reveals all to ITV News in a new TV interview
The Swiss added: 'Sadly there's a great deal of discrimination and racism and this hurts me. It really makes me sad.'
African officials were among those alleged to have taken payments from Bin Hammam, according to the Sunday Times.
CAF responded by issuing a resolution on its website Monday condemning the claims as 'deliberately hateful, defamatory and degrading'.
All smiles: Blatter with disgraced former AFC president Mohamed bin Hammam
Bin Hammam was banned from football for life by FIFA in December 2012 over 'conflicts of interest' while president of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
FIFA's chief investigator, Michael Garcia, has this week completed his assessment of the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, due to be finished this week - although the findings will not be made public until later this summer.

Sandy • That all-too-familiar feeling hovered over Rio Tinto Stadium.
And it set in when the whistle blew final.
The tournament final bugaboo. It was back.
Rewinding in time to 2008 when the New York Red Bulls came to Rio Tinto Stadium and topped RSL in the Eastern Conference Finals 1-0, to Monterrey shutting out RSL 1-0 in the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League final, to Tuesday night in Sandy at home again in the final of the 2013 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, RSL couldn't cross the line.
Another loss. At home. No goals. So many chances.
On the heels of their 1-0 loss to D.C. United, the worst team in MLS this season, the final scoreless streak added up to be 270 minutes.
And, like the previous finals, the shutouts came in the most dramatic fashion. Crossbars pinged, loose balls cleared, no goals.
"You're just left searching for answers a little bit," said midfielder Ned Grabavoy. "You can't find the words."
In the 2008 final, in which RSL was 90 minutes away from advancing to the MLS Cup, they hit the crossbar often, and were so nearly close to equalizing. Javier Morales hit the post in extra time.
In 2011 against Monterrey, to be crowned the top club team on the North American continent, RSL created more chances, but fell.
On Tuesday night, the chances were there. RSL created chaos in the box as it pushed for an equalizer.
Midfielder Sebastian Velasquez struck the crossbar in the 59th minute on a left-footed shot from distance.
Forward Alvaro Saborio's stoppage-time header hit the post.
"You scratch your head," said RSL coach Jason Kreis. "We did everything necessary to get to the point where we should have goal-scoring chances and we just seem like every single time … it just wasn't going to happen."
For the third time in five years, Rio Tinto was left deflated, no goal by the home side, and another team celebrating a storied accomplishment in Sandy.
"You can have so many chances … it just has to go in," Velasquez said. "It has to touch the net."

Have always liked the Merbabies. The underwater feel is very realistic... quite an achievement for 1938. With Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs under their belt, the animators were well on their way to creating the "golden age".

Merbabies is one of my favorites too even though Disney farmed it out to the Harman-Ising studio.
Thank you so much for posting the backgrounds!! Is it okay if I link to this post from my blog?

Nocebo Director: Faraz Alam Czech Republic | SF | Germen | 2016 | 00:10:00 Synopsis:How far can the hunger for revenge go for a woman who feels she was the victim of a violence that took away her dignity and her sense of dedication in taking care of the others? Based on a true story told over decades by word of mouth, the nameless Czech nurse became history for being considered both as a whore and a heroine as she decided to take her revenge over all the Nazi soldiers admitted in the same hospital where she was raped.

- Nice looking crowd, right? Especially the cuties in the front row: Eric (my spouse on the left) and Milo (QZAP co-founder and zine reading MC on the right, in the hat).
- We read at the Tool Shed, an erotic boutique. Other venues included an academic library archives, an art gallery, a public library, a coffee shop, a tavern, an anarchist collective house store front, a restaurant, and a zine store, so a sex toy shop was about the only thing left.
- The zine reading kicked off the Zine Librarians (un)Conference, an awesome event, which was the only thing that saved me from crying my eyes out as the zine mobile left me behind.
Author: lowereastsidelibrarian
Penultimate stop: Chicago
I just love the word "penultimate," don't you?
- I described John taking a picture of me taking a picture of the audience as meta. Only the librarians laughed.
- This was Celia's last reading, which made me very sad. She read a list of lessons learned on zine tour, which I loved. The final one goes something like, "One person's douche is another person's hero," which I believe was a zine mobile quote from Debbie. At least we left her in the loving arms of her son, Emiliano.
- It was nice to have Dave Roche in attendance and to go out with Liz Mason after. I've read at Quimby's (which Liz manages) three times, am Facebook friends with Liz and have read most of her zines, but have never hung out with her.
- We parked the zine mobile around the corner from Quimby's, next to a restaurant with outdoor seating. People hung out on the street with us for a long time.
7th stop: Detroit
Jami Sailor (pictured), originally one of the group's core participants was finally able to meet up with us in Detroit, at the reading she organized at Cass Cafe.
- It would be impossible to report on this event without mentioning the noise. It was really really loud, which was a problem for the early readers, including Celia. A few more people in, readers realized they had to change their strategy and read short, punchy pieces that wouldn't be hurt by a little shouting.
- I'm sorry I didn't make it to the Trumbullplex Zine Library work day with the others. I skipped out on that to hang out with my friend Julie Herrada, who curates the Labadie Collection at the University of Michigan.
- I loved guest reader and librarian Andrea Perez's first piece.
- We had a great visit with Debbie's friend Angela Watrous, who put us up in Ann Arbor and who made us the most delicious breakfast of our trip.
- I think this is the stop where I started to get serious about documenting everyone's footwear, or lack thereof.
6th stop: Toronto
July 4th–who scheduled a trip to Canada on America's birthday? Oh wait, that was me. We read at an anarchist collective house storefront. Dog bless America. Actually there were two cats, which is all the better for our 75% cat loving and 25% in the process of being converted zine tour crew. The locals were suitably impressed with the zine mobile:
Toronto also gave us the kitty that might have turned our one cat-curious person into a potential cat lover:
I shouldn't sign off on this post without saying how great the local readers were. Kisses to Clara
and Sarah
5th stop: Cleveland
My camera battery died before the reading even started, but fortunately the one shot I got was of our magnificently generous and kind host, Anastasia Diamond-Ortiz.
- It was John's 29th birthday, so we embarrassed him by serving him a cake before his reading. There was also singing.
- We should have asked the guy who performed before us to stick around for the singing. He probably could have serenaded John in several languages.
- The crowd was small, but incredibly generous and with a high per capita cat count. Three of us stayed with Bill, the crazy cat lady (man) with four cats. We didn't want to leave them, and almost couldn't because of a 4th of July parade blocking not only our way to Anastasia's house to pick up Celia, but our access to the road outta town.
4th stop: Pittsburgh
We arrived in Pittsburgh after a day off in Yellow Springs, OH (and visited some goats on the way).
But oh yeah, we also read, at the Lili Coffee Shop in Pittsburgh, and were introduced by letterpress goddess Artnoose:
- The coffee shop was a really nice reading spot and small enough that it looked packed without much effort. Maybe 20 people attended?
- It was a joy to see some library workers from the Carnegie Library's zine collection
- In PGH restaurants they ask you how hot you want your food on a scale of 1-10. Hint: 10 is not that hot. The scale really goes up to 50.
- We stayed at the Cyberpunk Apocalypse house
3rd stop: Murfreesboro
Reading at Linebaugh and spending time with zine librarian Jerianne Thompson and her family was a double treat.
- the audience was an interesting mix of the kind of folks who more ordinarily attend public library programs, local zine aficionados, a librarian who drove over from Nashville on company time, and some friends of Debbie's
- we got to see the library's zine collection
- we got to see Zine World headquarters and meet a 6-year-old science fiction geek in training
- had a neat conversation about zine union catalog ideas with a local coder
- Debbie was pre-enamored of Tennessee and not disappointed
- debriefing that night with Denny & Jerianne–one of the most enjoyable evenings of the tour
- John got to experience Cracker Barrel (he seems unimpressed with the southern phenomenon that is grits and was baffled by the whipped cream that was heaped generously on his pancakes)
- postcards from Walgreens

Today is the birthday of Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson (January 31, 1919 – October 24, 1972).
City Island Ball Park, renamed Jackie Robinson Ball Park in 1990, was built circa 1915. Daytona Beach was the first city in Florida that allowed Robinson to play during spring training in 1946 when he was a member of the Montreal Royals of the International League.
Both Sanford and Jacksonville, citing segregation laws, refused to let Montreal play an exhibition game against the Brooklyn Dodgers, parent club of Robinson's Royals. Daytona Beach agreed to the game, which was played on March 17, 1946.
As a result of the resistance by Jacksonville, the Dodgers moved spring training to City Island Ball Park, and in 1948 built Dodgertown in Vero Beach. Jackie Robinson Ball Park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler announced today that the City has selected a development team for the City-owned "Catalyst" site on the south side of "Q" Street between 13th and 14th streets. The Urban 38 team, which includes local developer WRK, submitted a plan that includes retail and residential space as well as public parking. Urban 38 also includes nationally known developers Woodbury Corporation and Colmena Capital.
After the City received a proposal from Urban 38 in August, additional proposals were accepted until October 30. A second proposal came from Synergie Group of Des Moines, and the City met with both groups before making its selection.
Urban 38 will work to revitalize this very important part of downtown with some much needed downtown housing and retail," Mayor Beutler said. "The project will include a City parking garage built along with the private project for a total investment of about $27.1 million. We believe this proposal fits the site well and also fits into the urban design character of downtown Lincoln.
Urban 38's proposal includes 20,000 square feet of retail space at the street level; five floors of parking with 547 stalls; and three floors of housing with 48 units. WRK and Woodbury are also partnering on a hotel project at 8th and "R" streets as well as a $100 million mixed-use development in conjunction with Lincoln Haymarket Arena.
Our team is very excited for the opportunity to collaborate with the City of Lincoln on a project that is so instrumental to the vitality of the area," said Zachary Wiegert, Woodbury lead developer. "This development will enhance the connectivity between our Capital City and flagship University. We hope this redevelopment will attract new investment and renewed interest in downtown Lincoln.
Colmena Capital's portfolio includes more than 9,000 residential units and $2 million square feet of office space. Other members of the Urban 38 team include Sinclair Hille Architects; Kiewit Building Group; Carl Walker Inc.; Engineering Technologies; and C & C Consultants.
This site was originally identified in the Downtown Master Plan for a major project that would tie into the proposed Civic Plaza at 13th and "P" streets. In 2007, the City began negotiations on a redevelopment agreement for the Catalyst site with the Lincoln Synergy Group, but negotiations ended due to the economic downturn.
The Mayor said the City will meet with the Urban 38 team next week to work on a project time line with the goal of beginning construction next year.

Taking Center Stage is the definitive print retrospective and musical documentation of the career of one of the greatest rock drummers of all time, Neil Peart of Rush. Originally conceived as a companion to the groundbreaking 2011 3-disc DVD set of the same name, this book combines astonishingly detailed musical transcriptions, historical writing, instructional text, and a beautiful collection of photographs to create a book that every drummer and every fan of Neil and Rush will want to add to their collection. At the heart of the book are note-for-note musical transcriptions of 17 songs that are included on the Taking Center Stage DVD. These transcriptions are exclusive to this book, since they are taken from the performances on the DVD, documenting how Neil currently approaches the songs. Some of the tracks included are Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, The Spirit of Radio, Free Will, Subdivisions, Time Stand Still, Marathon, La Villa Strangiato, The Trees, Caravan, BU2B, Far Cry, and many others. But this is much more than a mere transcription book. The book is divided into chapters corresponding to each and every Rush tour from the time Neil joined the band in 1975, up to the present. Each of these chapters contains extensive text discussing the musical approach of the band at the time, the construction of the drum parts, and Neil's set up. Accompanying this are exquisitely detailed diagrams of each of Neil's drumsets, produced after extensive research into the exact instruments that were used on every tour. Tying everything together is a beautiful collection of dozens of photographs taken over the past 30 years, including exclusive shots from the archives of Fin Costello and Andrew McNauhgtan, which show Neil and his drums in vivid detail. The book also contains color reproductions of just about every drum company advertisement that featured Neil during his career. Written, transcribed, and researched by well-known drummer, author, and educator Joe Bergamini (who also co-produced and appeared in the DVD), and overseen and edited by Neil himself, Taking Center Stage: A Lifetime of Live Performance is the most complete, accurate, and definitive work on Neil Peart's career as a drummer. New product for the week of Sept 24th, 2012.

As someone rightly said "White rice is nice, but yellow saffron rice is stunning".
There have been many versions of Saffron Rice, from the day Think Spice... Think Saffron was announced :) And now this is the time for my version :)
Basmati rice: 1 cup
Water: 2 cups
Saffron: 1/2 tsp
Cloves: 4 - 5
Cardamom: 2
Cumin: 1 tsp
Cashews: 1 Tbsp
Salt: to taste
Milk: 2 Tbsp
Curry Leaves: a few
Ghee: 1 Tbsp
Edible Saffron Color or Turmeric : a pinch (optional)
How I did it:
- Steep Saffron in warm milk for a few mins.
- Cook rice with water, cardamom, cloves, salt. Add even the saffron and milk and turmeric or color(if using).
- Take ghee in a small kadai and add cashews after golden, add jeera and curry leaves.
- Add this to the cooked rice.
- Serve hot!
And the Verdict:
It is a nice substitute for the routine jeera rice or ghee rice. Saffron adds the rich flavor and color.
I served this with butter chicken, and it was a nice combination!!
Food Event:
This is my entry for the Think Spice : Saffron event being hosted by dear Sunita of Sunita's World.

The V.3 gearbox is used to power the replica and is equipped with a set of reinforced steel thread-wheels that are located on steel slide bearings. A directional piston head, a stronger spring and a aluminum sleeve located in the piston were used in this replica.
The set of the RIS rails allows the attachment of different accessories: a laser target marker, a scope, a tactical flashlight and a tactical grip and so on…
The set includes:
- a replica
- a magazine
- a battery
- a battery charger

Students' biblical banners allowed for now
Cheerleaders in the southeast Texas town of Kountze may continue displaying banners with Bible verses during football games until a lawsuit over the issue is resolved, a judge ruled Thursday.
State District Judge Steve Thomas of Hardin County granted a temporary injunction in a lawsuit that put the town of 2,100 residents in the center of a national debate about religious freedom and the First Amendment.
Thomas ruled that a ban imposed by the Kountze Independent School District appears to have violated the cheerleaders' right to religious expression. Because the trial has been set for June 24, the outcome will be a moot point for this football season.
During this season's games, football players burst through signs hoisted by the cheerleading squad referencing Bible passages such as, "I can do all these through Christ who strengthens me," and "If God is for us, who can be against us?" The banners prompted a complaint on constitutional grounds from the Freedom from Religion Foundation, which said it was acting to protect the separation of church and state.
Schools Superintendent Kevin Weldon banned the signs based on advice from an attorney for the district. In response, the cheerleaders' families filed a lawsuit against Weldon and the district.
Gov. Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbott entered the dispute Wednesday, siding with the cheerleaders when Abbott filed a petition to intervene.
Abbott lambasted the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation, accusing it of using "menacing and misleading intimidation tactics."
"This is student-led expression, and that's perfectly constitutional," Abbott said.
The attorney general praised the court's decision Thursday, calling it a victory for religious freedom.
Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the foundation, said the signs were displayed at a school-sanctioned event and clearly represent school-sponsored, government speech.
"These cheerleaders represent the school district, and government speech may not endorse religion," she said. "They are supposed to represent school spirit. They are not supposed to represent the spirit of Jesus."
Tom Brandt, the Dallas-based attorney representing Kountze Independent School District, said the district's decision to ban the banners was a straightforward effort to interpret the law.
He cited the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in a case involving Texas' Santa Fe ISD, which held that student-led prayers at a public high school game violated the Establishment Clause.
"It's hard for us to figure out how the banners aren't analogous to the situation with speech in Santa Fe," Brandt said.
Brandt said the school superintendent and board members didn't want to violate anyone's rights by endorsing or being hostile toward a religion.
"We are trying to walk a thin line," Brandt said.
The Anti-Defamation League issued a statement Thursday criticizing Thomas' ruling.
"This misguided decision flies in the face of well-established U.S. Supreme Court precedent prohibiting school-sponsored religious activity," said Martin Cominsky, the organization's southwest regional director.

Many investigators believe that dietary modification does not lengthen life unnaturally, but rather that it allows humans and animals to reach something close to their normal potential life span; although there remains some controversy over what is and what is not 'normal'. Some argue that since the life expectancy of animals in the wild is shorter than that achieved under 'ideal' laboratory conditions, what the experiments are achieving is an extension beyond the natural term. However, another way of looking at it would be to say that if optimal conditions prevailed in the wild (adequate food and no dangers from predators and climatic extremes, for example), this would be even more 'natural' than laboratory conditions, no matter how ideal, and would probably lead to enhanced life spans so far achieved only under laboratory conditions.
What happens in the laboratory cannot be thought of as natural, but the results obtained surely point to ways in which everyday life and habits might be modified to produce the benefits of a longer, healthier life. It is, after all, hardly natural that we purify our drinking water. In just this sort of way modifications to our eating patterns might become the norm, and while seemingly 'unnatural' such changes might allow our true potential to emerge.
Places where restricted calories (and longevity) am the norm
Several population groups have long been reputed to be remarkably long-lived. These include the South American people of Vilcabamba, the central European Caucasian peoples and the Hunza people of the Himalayas. Apart from all being resident in inhospitable mountainous regions their diets seem similar in a number of respects, including the central issue of being lower in overall calorie content than 'normal' (usually around half that normally consumed by active adults in Europe and the US - 1,600 to 1,900 calories per day as against 3,300 for US males of all ages).
The truth of the claims of longevity of such populations is, admittedly, open to doubt, owing to the lack of well-documented legal records of births and deaths, but there is one population group where this is not the case, and where dietary restriction of calories has long been the norm, with quite startling and well recorded results in terms of longevity and health.
Human evidence from Japan
There exists a near perfect example of dietary restriction in action amongst humans. People living on the Japanese island of Okinawa come very close to living on a diet which fulfill the requirements of dietary restriction, as successfully applied to animals in life extension research, and doctors Weindruch and Walford (Retardation of Aging and Disease by Dietary Restriction, Charles Thomas, Springfield, Illinois, 1988) examined a particular group in detail in order to compare them with the studies they had conducted on animals. The evidence they accumulated is compelling.
There are excellent and accurate legal records of births and deaths on Okinawa, which have been kept since 1872, and this allows us to know exactly how long people are living. We are also fortunate that for many years the Japanese Ministry of Welfare and Health has evaluated the dietary habits of different households, chosen randomly, in all areas of the country. This provides us with another useful source of information as we compare the life expectancy of one group against another, especially as it is now known that the people of Okinawa produce centenarians up to 40 times more often than do other Japanese population groups.

Harper's Weekly, February 24, 1872
During slavery, free blacks had only nominal freedom and were restricted in their movement, education, and professions. They were also the victims of violence and could be enslaved if they could not pay their debts. Because of the insecurity of their status, some saw leaving the country as the best solution. After Emancipation, brutality against African Americans increased, and white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, founded in 1866, used terror to keep the black population in slavery-like conditions. Once again, emigrating appeared to some to be the only answer.

Claude Roy Truitt was my Boo's [Alice's] husband [my Gran's dad]. I know of not one single family story of good ol' Claude that's been handed down. Zilch. Nothing. Well, my mom did tell me "he was a jerk." Her words, not mine. Yikes! How would you like to be remembered like that by one of your grandchildren? I know that that thought gives me great pause, and I don't even have grandchildren yet [and won't for a very long time].
Of course, I've done a lil' work on his family story because if he is remembered as a "jerk," then his story has got to be good, right? [This is how my warped mind works...]
Well, Claude [who went by his inititals, C.R., which makes me wonder, did he not like his name?], was born 12 Aug 1875 as Claudius Roy Truitt in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky to LeRoy W. and Magdalen A. (McGee) Truitt. He is now buried in the section Bethany, once known as the Garden of Gethsemane, in Forest Park Lawndale Cemetery in Houston, Texas.
I find it interesting this pattern that I have found in my mom's maternal line. They are all Catholic, and after (apparently) marrying "jerks", they've all divorced them [except for my parents, of course]. Then, no one talks about the big "D" word, but indeed, they did get divorced. In fact, these women never remarried, and these "jerks" all remarried, including good ol' Claude/Claudius/C.R. What's so "funny" about him though is that he remarried someone with the same name as his first wife, Alice. This is not the first time I've seen this occur in my research, but it does get me to thinking. [Uh-oh.] What were they thinking? Did they think this was some kind of do-over, or something? To top it off this second Alice, who outlived him, is not buried near him. I find that interesting. Did she think he was a jerk, too? Well, one thing is for sure, he couldn't call her by the wrong name. You know, if he ever said something like, "One of these days, Alice, one of these days, Pow, right in the kisser." The question is, though, did she tell him, "aaaah, shyuuuddup"?

Even the photos of the country's leaders hanging on the wall of the captain's quarters are old — Kim Il-sung, who died in 1994, and his son Kim Jong-il, who died in 2011, but not his grandson and current ruler, Kim Jong-un.
"To call that thing filthy would be a compliment," said Security Minister José Raúl Mulino, waving his left hand toward the ship Chong Chon Gang, docked at the sprawling container port of Manzanillo on Panama's Atlantic coast.
But the ship also smells of scandal, for it was carrying 240 tons of contraband Cuban weapons to North Korea, in apparent violation of a 7-year-old U.N. arms embargo on Pyongyang for its nuclear weapons and long-range missile development programs.

While the contraband might cool Obama administration efforts to warm up relations with Havana, the United Nations may spare Cuba any significant sanctions because the weapons aboard the freighter are not directly related to the core issues of a U.N. arms embargo against North Korea.
Meanwhile, a knowledgeable source said Sunday that South Korean officials complained earlier this year that North Korea was smuggling cargo through the Panama Canal, but the complaint was dismissed as the result of the two nations' rivalry. Panama government officials also confirmed that a Cuban deputy foreign minister who rushed to Panama after the ship was seized but before Cuban weapons were found aboard had asserted that there were no drugs aboard and that its only cargo was a "humanitarian gift" of Cuban sugar to Pyongyang.
Other knowledgeable sources said the South Koreans complained to the Panamanian government sometime this spring that Pyongyang had been smuggling undeclared shipments through the Canal, which links the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. But Panamanian did not pay a lot of attention to the complaint, chalking it up to the bitter rivalry between Communist-ruled Pyongyang and democratic Seoul, said the source, who asked for anonymity to speak frankly about the issue.
On Sunday, more than 100 cadets from Panama's National Police Academy continued unloading the 10,000 tons of brown Cuban sugar used to hide the 40-foot steel shipping containers carrying the Cuban weapons, including two MiGs.
They work in teams, dressed in jeans and either black or grey T-shirts, wearing surgical gloves and carrying backpack water bags to prevent dehydration. Several have been stung by the millions of bees swarming around the sugar.
Some of the 100-pound sacks of sugar have been tested by the Central American nation's Public Health Department to make sure they contain the sweetener and not what one Panamanian official called "white powder of the non-fattening kind."
Yet at least the cadets don't have to go into the crew's quarters, where the fetid stench and overall decay appear to have grown worse in Panama's tropical heat and humidity since the ship was impounded July 15.
The smell of mold that dominates the quarters, which are not air conditioned, and undertones of urine and black cigarette tobacco have made some visitors cover their noses and hurry their steps.
Bedsheets look like they have not been washed in weeks, ashtrays everywhere overflow with butts, and bags of rice sit on the floor near what appear to be rat droppings, said journalists who toured the ship Tuesday with President Ricardo Martinelli.
Bits and pieces of crew gear and other equipment litter the narrow passageways, rusty pipes seem almost ready to burst, and exposed electrical wiring was visible in some of the crew compartments.
About the only thing looking fresh on the 510-foot bulk freighter is the red, white and blue flag of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the communist-ruled country's official name, painted across the ship's 30-foot wide black smokestack.
Health department crews cleaned out the worst of the filth on Friday, Mulino said, but the ship remains "a pigsty."
Attorney General Ana Belfon said Friday she has vetoed all further visits to the ship, arguing that the Chong Chon Gang is now a crime scene and that she is concerned about the safety of the ship and its visitors.
Its 35 crewmen, all North Koreans, are being detained at the home base of the paramilitary Air and Naval Service, "with air conditioning and much better conditions than they had in that thing," said Mulino, a lawyer who specializes in admiralty law.
They have been appointed a public defender, but have rejected all attempts to interview them and none have given any indication that they might want to defect, said chief narcotics prosecutor Javier Caraballo.
Caraballo said the crew rioted when Panamanian authorities boarded the ship last week because of "intelligence information we developed" that the Chong Chon Gang was carrying drugs as it waited to cross the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The crew has been charged with endangering Panama's security when they resisted the search of their ship.
As of Saturday, police cadets had uncovered seven 40-foot containers, Mulino told El Nuevo Herald, hidden under 220,000 sacks of sugar stacked "in an extreme or ill-intentioned manner" that makes it more difficult to search underneath.
Fearing that some of the containers are booby-trapped, the searchers have been waiting for explosives experts from the United States and other countries to open the last five containers found. The two containers found first were opened and contained fire control radars for SA-2 antiaircraft missiles.
The cadets so far have searched only one of the ship's five cargo holds — not four as previously reported. Each hold has three decks, separated by heavy steel floors that are moved into and out of place by massive electrical motors.
Havana has said the shipment was "obsolete" war materiel sent to be upgraded in North Korea, a long time ally. It described the equipment as antiaircraft missile systems, nine missiles in parts and spares, two MiG-21s and 15 motors for the MiGs. Five containers containing the fighters and other weapons were found Sunday. Some were still smelling of gasoline, indicating that they were being used until relatively recently, said Caraballo.
It has not explained why the weapons were not declared in the ship's manifest, why they were hidden under the tons of sugar and why they were being sent to Pyongyang instead of their manufacturers in the former Soviet bloc.
North Korea's foreign ministry said the weapons were shipped under a legitimate upgrade deal with Havana. But neither Pyongyang nor Havana officials have been in contact with the Panama government since the weapons were found on the freighter. Belfon said that if no drugs are found aboard the ship, the case will be transferred to a prosecutor in the organized crime section — smuggling weapons — while the possible violation of the arms embargo will be decided by the U.N. Security Council. Security Council experts are not expected to arrive until Aug. 5.
"We are still in the discovery process, and this will take several more days, to remove all the sugar and search the entire the ship, " said Carballo, "and that's without running into any more surprises."
