I left my husband 18 months ago due to his unreasonable behaviour. He has beat me, spat on me, given me his urine to put in my mouth, put chilli in my eyes, put a knife to my neck and told me to say the shahada because he was going to kill me.
Before I left him, he told me on two occasions Talaq (divorce), you are not my wife and we are finished. After I left him he told me on the phone you are talaq (divorced), and after a few months he said again I divorce you 10 times. But after each time he would after a while kiss or touch me sexually. About two months ago he said he wanted us to get back together. I said no, I want to divorce and go to the mosque to end the marriage. His reply was, I divorce you and I am not going to any mosque ever, then 10 minutes after saying this he sexually grabs me in public. Although he hid it, I moved away from him and he said I want you and I replied I will never return back to live with him. We have a little girl together who is very hurt by his actions. Am I divorced from him by all the times he has announced talaq. I took him to court and was granted a 3 year restraining order against him. Thank you and may Allah bless you for all the good you are doing for many oppressed Muslim women who like myself are reverts and have no family to protect and defend them.
Praise be to Allaah.
The husband's saying "you are not my wife" and "we are finished" is not from the explicit wordings of divorce and so divorce does not take effect unless that was the intent of the husband. He must be consulted to know this.
It appears from your question that your husband explicitly divorced you three times on separate occasions. The first of them was when he said: "you are divorced" over the phone, the second was when he said "I divorce you ten times" and the third was when he said "I divorce you" after he learned that you wanted to get a divorce through the mosque.
Based on this, your divorce from your husband is final and you are not permitted to return to him until after you marry someone else genuinely, not for the sake of becoming lawful for your first husband again, and that second husband were to either die or divorce you. Allah says (what means): "Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment. And it is not lawful for you to take anything of what you have given them unless both fear that they will not be able to keep [within] the limits of Allah. But if you fear that they will not keep [within] the limits of Allah, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself. These are the limits of Allah, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah – it is those who are the wrongdoers. And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until [after] she marries a husband other than him. And if the latter husband divorces her [or dies], there is no blame upon the woman and her former husband for returning to each other if they think that they can keep [within] the limits of Allah. These are the limits of Allah, which He makes clear to a people who know." [2:229-230]
However, if the husband claims the marriage is still valid and contests the validity of one of the pronouncements of divorce, then you must refer to one of the people of knowledge at an Islamic Centre or elsewhere so they can listen to all the details from both of you.
You must be aware that what counts is the execution of divorce according to Islamic Law and not the judgement of the civil court. Refer to the answer to question 127179.
We ask Allah to guide you to good, obedience and repentance.
And Allah knows best.

The name "Crown Victoria" first appeared on a Ford in 1955, then reemerged after a decades-long absence on the 1979 Ford LTD. While it was often used by law enforcement and other agencies in its original form, in 1998 Ford offered a special version of the Crown Victoria especially for that market. The Crown Victoria Police Interceptor is designed and produced exclusively for police and other law enforcement organizations.
It's just about impossible to discuss the American automotive tradition without mentioning the Ford Motor Company. This company was among the first in the Detroit area to start down the path of automotive excellence. Even with the good reputation Ford has now, the beginning wasn't all smooth sailing. The story begins in 1899 with the Detroit Automobile Company. This company was Henry Ford's first foray into the new world of automobile design, production, and sales. The company never took off the way it needed to, and Ford turned his attention elsewhere.
In 1901, Henry Ford teamed up with financial investors and started the Henry Ford Company. It wasn't long before Ford had serious disagreements with his backers and left the company with only the rights to use his own name and about 900 dollars. With these tools, he started the Ford Motor Company in 1903. Fortunately, with hard work and a good team of engineers and designers, he was able to make his company a success.
The Ford Motor Company is family owned and has survived various financial ups and downs, like the Great Depression. Ford continues to offer a wide range of cars, trucks, and SUVs to the world's markets.
Soon after the first Crown Victoria rolled off the assembly line, a large number of law enforcement agencies recognized how effective the heavy, well-made car would be as police cruisers. Other official agencies chose to adopt the car as well.
With its heavy, steel body and powerhouse engine and transmission, the Crown Victoria is a natural choice for this kind of work. The Police Interceptor edition comes equipped with updated safety features as well as heavier-duty mechanisms throughout the car to enhance performance in stressful situations. Though Ford discontinued the Crown Victoria in 2007, the car is still produced for law enforcement and official uses.
The 2007 Ford Crown Victoria is the last model available for civilian use. The Police Interceptor is still available to law enforcement and government agencies. The public edition resembles the Crown Victoria of years past. It is a six-seater, heavy-duty sedan made with a heavy body style for its frame. Despite the Crown Victoria's tremendous weight, Ford still makes the car to be relatively light on its feet, or wheels, so to speak.
The standard motor for one of these beasts is a 4.6-liter V-8, capable of 224 horsepower. The upgraded trim levels offer the option of an improved performance package that provides 239 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque. In terms of transmission, the 2007 Crown Victoria only offers a four-speed automatic.
Again, much like past Crown Victoria models, the interior of the 2007 lacks somewhat. These cars are made to be as reliable and dependable as possible for an affordable price. As a result, the interior suffers a bit. The dash is outdated, and some of the materials used for the interior are not of the highest grade. Still, it does live up to its promise to be a reliable, secure car for the buyer.
The Crown Victoria from Ford has enjoyed a long history. The first cars with this name appeared in the 1955 model year and were received as a good economical car for families and those who preferred reliability over high-performance or speed.
The Crown Victoria LTD editions were made from 1979 to 1991. These cars are sought after for their shortened body styles that provided greater fuel efficiency as well as easier parking. Unbelievably, this new body style does not limit the interior space at all. The Crown Victoria still features plenty of room in the front and back seats in terms of head and leg space.
The LTD Crown Victoria models were discontinued in 1992, and Ford offered a newly updated car to the public. This Crown Victoria model features a more streamlined, modern look. Ford made moderate changes to the design over the next two generations. In 2003, the chassis of the Crown Victoria was overhauled using hydro formed steel. That year also brought improved front and rear suspension systems. The suspension improvements are standard for both commercial and law enforcement models of the car.

Employers who thought finding great employees was their biggest staffing need are quickly realizing holding on to them once they have them is of much greater concern, new research shows.
A study by staffing firm Robert Half revealed that nearly 40 percent of chief financial officers consider retaining valuable staff members to be their biggest challenge over the next year, even more so than maintaining employee productivity.
"Though general unemployment levels remain high, professionals with specialized skills have more opportunities available to them, which has led to talent shortages in some areas and made replacing valuable employees even more difficult," said Paul McDonald, Robert Half senior executive director. "Employers will need to pull out all the stops to retain their best and brightest, including ensuring compensation is competitive and top performers know there's a career path available to them with the company."
[10 Personality Types Most Likely to Get Hired]
Robert Half offers employers several tips for retaining their key workers:
- Maintain an open-door policy: Employees should feel comfortable voicing ideas and concerns. Unhappiness with their boss is one reason many people leave their jobs. Building strong working relationships with amongst the employees should be a priority.
- Promote from within: Employees will grow discouraged if they feel advancement opportunities aren't available. Managers should meet with staff members to review their career paths and discuss how they can move up in the organization.
- Provide competitive compensation: While money isn't everything, it is important. Make sure employees' salaries and benefits are at or slightly above the market rates.
- Recognize outstanding work: Whether it's a story in the company newsletter or a spot bonus, actions and achievements that warrant special acknowledgment should be rewarded promptly. The recognition doesn't need to be expensive. Saying "thank you" and praising individuals in front of their peers are powerful motivators.
- Offer professional development opportunities: Training programs help people expand their skills and boost productivity. This will also create versatility amongst the employees.
McDonald also warned against companies relying on counteroffers to avoid losing key players. Instead, he advises hiring managers focus on improving aspects of the work environment that are contributing to the turnover.
"Counteroffers rarely fix the underlying reasons a professional decides to leave the company, such as a lack of challenge or a desire for advancement," McDonald said. "An employee's resignation can be used by the organization as an opportunity to make improvements benefiting its remaining staff."
The study was based on surveys of more than 2,100 chief financial officers from a random sample of companies in more than 20 of the largest U.S. markets.

How to Effectively Track and Accomplish Your GoalsThursday, November 12th, 2009
When it comes to accomplishing goals, one thing that many people tend to neglect is that goals must be consistently tracked and reviewed. This article suggests four different approaches for effectively tracking your goals.
One of the most common reasons that people don't get to accomplish their goals is that we tend to get distracted, and we lose track of important things that need to be done consistently in order to move forward towards our goals.
Maybe you have set a perfectly achievable goal and planned every detailed step, but without effectively tracking your goal and knowing your progress, most certainly you will get discouraged when the first obstacle gets in the way and end up giving up on your goal eventually.

Homework practice on slashing: Photo
Thanks for the help, explaining and incouragement 'dmsnyder' from your post on this subject......I was having a little practice run on slashing...on Susan's Sourdough little boules...I was asked earlier to post before bake photo's..they were beginning to open up on the slashes from sitting to get this photo...the only thing I have maybe improved a little on is I'm slashing without much hesitation...I would like to take a loaf and make about 20 slashes in it just for practice... it's one of my favorite things to do when making bread!! I haven't decided if I like my little red tomato knife or my double edge razor best for slashing...I'am leaning towards the razor...because I don't tend to go as deep...the knife seems to make the slashes a little wider and I tend to go cut deeper!! And then there's all the other things that come in to play with how the slashing turns out...steaming, dough ect., ect....practice!! : )
MEOW!!! I still need a lot of practice!! Looks like two cats ears!! : ) Sylvia

8 'Bad' Habits That Are Good for You
There are certain habits that just aren't polite to do in public — or at all. How many times have you winced at an acquaintance's knuckle cracking, or been disgusted by a stranger picking their nose in traffic? The truth is, though, that many of these habits are cultural. What's normal in one country or century may be disgusting and rude in another. If manners are little more than a social construct, then it makes sense that some of the habits we view as 'bad' really, actually, aren't that bad at all. Click through to check out some of them.
1. Cracking Your Knuckles.
Though it may not win you any friends, the arthritis warnings surrounding cracking your knuckles aren't, well, all they're cracked up to be. In a large study following people that did and didn't crack their knuckles over a five year period found that knuckle crackers' joints were just as healthy as those who didn't. It can even be good for you: cracking your knuckles is actually healthy for your joints, giving you more flexibility and movement.
2. Biting Your Nails.
Who knew — biting your nails can actually boost your immune system! Chomping on your nails exposes you to trace amounts of bugs that can make you sick. Your immune system is powerful, remembering bugs it encountered before and unleashing the right weapons to attack it. As long as your nails aren't very dirty, biting them isn't bad for you.
3. Watching Cute Animal Videos — When you Should be Working.
Research has shown that watching videos or looking at photos of cute baby animals is actually good for our productivity. After viewing cute baby animals, we are more focused and perform tasks more carefully. Why? It's been suggested that just viewing baby animals triggers our caregiving impulses, which require more intensive focus and care.
4. Skipping a Workout or Three.
Let's face it: most of us aren't professional athletes, movie stars or fitness instructors. And, if you don't fall into one of those categories, well, it's really not essential to workout every day. In fact, waiting a day between exercises can actually be more beneficial than exercising every day, because it gives your muscles time to repair themselves and get stronger.
5. Burping.
Though most of us consider burping to be impolite, suppressing one of your body's natural processes can actually be bad for you. In fact, it can actually trigger heart burn and chest pain! If you can't let go of a burp in public, try changing your diet — certain foods cause us to burp more than others, like carbonated beverages, beans and, for some people, sugarless candies. If you think you're burping too much, see a doctor.
6. Eating in Bed.
The best time to eat is when you're relaxed — and what's more relaxing than bed? If you're eating in stressful or rushed situations or mindsets, you're more prone to stomach problems. Aside from a meal with loved ones, bed is a fine place to eat. Just make sure not to spill on the sheets!
7. Fidgeting.
This may be some relief to all of my fellow fidgeters out there: we tend to have faster metabolisms, better circulation, and less joint and back pain. And it's not just the physical stuff- fidgeters also tend to have stronger memories, more effective thought processes, and lower stress levels when we're in the act.
8. Spitting.
As weird — and gross! — as it sounds, there actually are times when it is beneficial to spit. When you're exercising, your body produces more saliva than it normally does. Sometimes, this extra saliva can build up to the point that it can interfere with our breathing and, yes, make it necessary to spit out the excess.

When done right, terrain provides a smooth-surface model of mountains, rivers, cliffs, hills, and other geographic phenomena. The point of terrain is that it gives users the impression they are traversing the real world. From a more abstract perspective, however, terrain really only involves variations in height. For instance, a grassy plain is a terrain with constant height (except for maybe some bumps and hills). On the other hand, a mountain region is a terrain that has significant height variations, creating large glyphs between areas that lend the illusion of mountains. Rivers are plains combined with curves that contain lower heights than the surrounding plain. For example, the terrain in Figure 1 is described by three areas of greater heightthe three green hillsand the rest is a deep gorge filled with water.
Heightmaps let you create natural terrain by providing an elegant solution to storing variations in height and smoothing surfaces. To illustrate, Figure 2 is a grayscale image that looks like a donut with a white speck in the middle. A grayscale image is a collection of pixels where each pixel goes from 0 to 255, where 0 is black and 255 white. What if you could use each pixel to determine height? If a black pixel (value 0) could be the lowest height and a white pixel (value 255) the highest, you'd have a map that depicts heighta heightmap. Another great thing about this is that since pixels go from 0 to 255, you get automatic interpolation of the terrain (thus creating smooth terrain) if you just blur images.
In this article, I examine how to use heightmaps for creating realistic 3D graphics. For purposes of illustration, the platform I use is the Java ME JSR 184 specification (www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=184), the Mobile 3D Graphics (M3G) API that provides a scalable, small-footprint, interactive 3D API for mobile devices such as cell phones from Sony Ericsson.

Bayer CropScience recently announced that its new Equip corn herbicide has received U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approval in time for the 2003 growing season. The company claims Equip provides the broadest-spectrum weed control of any conventional postemergence corn herbicide.
One of the active ingredients of Equip is foramsulfuron — the same active ingredient found in Bayer's Option corn herbicide. Equip also contains iodosulfuron, a new herbicide for targeted residual control of small-seeded broadleaves such as lambsquarters, pigweed and smartweed. Both of these sulfonylurea chemistries have been shown to be effective at very low rates. The recommended rate of Equip is 1.5 oz./acre applied with 10 to 20 gal. of water/acre.
As a broad-spectrum postemergence herbicide, Equip controls grasses such as foxtails, johnsongrass and shattercane. It also controls broadleaf weeds such as cocklebur, morningglory, ragweed, sunflower and velvetleaf. Bayer says Equip can be used on all field corn, including herbicide-resistant varieties.
The preferred adjuvant system for Equip is 1.5 pt. MSO + 1.5 to 2 qt. UAN (28 to 32%) or AMS. The Equip formulation also contains isoxadifen, a safener that allows tank mixing with MSO + nitrogen and herbicides such as Marksman.

Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
What's really the problem?
So.. If it was Debian it would end up in contrib, but there really aren't any Debians for Windows, and there can't be. And since compilers especially outside the Cygwin-distribution are expensive and rare on windows, I can't see the point of distributing the source-code for windows-users.
By Allan S. at Tue, 2004/07/27 - 5:00am
Availability of compilers for Windows
That's simply not true. MinGW and Cygwin both provide GCC, and Microsoft's compiler (not the IDE) is available for download gratis.

Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
> As you said, you can't do it on a GPL'd package
But it is possible, and has already been done with one large KDE app (KOrganizer).
> Further, it destroys the package's free software
The QT binaries can be redistributed without problem.
I'm not sure about the headers, but if you see a karm.exe appear in the next few months, the answer is yes. ;)

Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
Please, I don't wish this to sound like a troll, but I have to point this out.
Without a GPL software licence for QT on all platforms, QT is eventually going to loose out to GTK. Just look at the most popular open apps (OO.org, Mozilla, Evolution, Gimp); none of these are based on QT, and this is for a reason; IBM/Novell/Sun all want to develop cross platform solutions for business. QT doesn't allow them to develop 'free' cross platform solutions. I love KDE/QT and have been using it for over five years now, but GTK is getting a lot more money poured into it now.
I just hope the powers that be can find a way to GPL QT on all platforms.
BTW, how much is the estimated market value of Trolltec? Could Novell just buy them out and completely GPL QT?

Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
> weaning the Windows masses by gradually replacing their
this is rather OT, but..... i don't agree. most computer users don't notice or care about the relative freedom afforded them. all they know is how well (or not well) their current system works. if we work hard to provide quality Free(dom) software on non-Free platforms, all it does it make the pain of those non-Free(dom) platforms lessen while removing much of the strategic advantage of running Free(dom) OSes. this will result in people sticking with the devil they know (e.g. Windows) because it's now "cheap enough" and does what they need. this in turn allows those who maintain those non-Free systems (e.g. Microsoft) to once again work their way up from the OS to the application space by changing APIs, giving their products efficiency advantages through internal knowledge of non-published APIs, etc. while sucking resources from the Open Source development community.
i'm starting to hear people who say they wish certain apps (e.g. K3B, Apollon, Scribus, etc...) ran on Windows. these applications are a REASON to switch to a Free OS. if they existed on Windows, they would stay with that non-Free system.
you know: competitive advantage. unique sales proposition. supporting the development ecosystem. and other such marketing phrases that have an actual basis in reality.

Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
These free apps have other advantages, though; they keep a singly commercial entity from controlling computers on the small and large scale (locally and on the internet). BY supporting open standards and cheap or free software, we are giving power to the people and basically democratizing the whole process.

Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
To explain myself better:
I meant that not everybody running mozilla or open offices knows and care about the freedom behind the apps, but they are nonetheless encouraging open standards, thus making things better for everybody.
By Mikhail Capone at Sat, 2004/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
I doubt that somebody who doesn't care about Free Software will care about open standards at all.

Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
That's really true - creating free software (or any other free support) for non-free (M$-) OS is nothing else than just feeding the Bosses of the evil empire for free.

Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
Well, there are cases where you *have* to use windows, and then it is very nice to be able to run at least some of the software you're used to from linux. (e.g. at work where can't simply replace your windows with linux, because there are some proprietary apps essential for the job where no replacement exists)
At least I am happy that I can use cygwin, mozilla, doxygen and OOo on my windows box at work.
By aleXXX at Sun, 2004/07/25 - 5:00am
I agree
That's exactly my point of view. Most users are pragmatic. If they can install k3b, scribus and the gimp on Microsoft, they'll do it (if they don't manage to suck a spyware-contaminated WaReZ Photoshop, Corel, whatever..) and won't ever start to think about _what_ they're using.

I'm curious; what's your opinion on proprietary Unix? Should we all be removing Solaris and AIX support from our software? Why or why not?
By brion at Sat, 2004/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
How many proprietary Unix vendors fit the following descriptions?
You might be able to alledge some degree of the above on some proprietary Unix vendor, but this and more is largely the exclusive domain of one company and product line. If a single proprietary Unix vendor were doing all these things and putting our freedoms at risk there would be reason for concern, but as it happens proprietary Unix is getting it's butt kicked up around it's ears by Linux. Just ask Sun.
Of course if they are doing commercial development with Qt they will be buying license that are very reasonably priced (as evidenced by the health of Trolltech). The reality though is Sun is talking about open sourcing Solaris to a collective yawn and IBM is pushing Linux on the mainframe because it delivers better tools then AIX and saves them billions in development. Any support for these fading OS's is on GNU tools by people adapting the software and is a non issue.

Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
I would argue that the best way to defeat those evil vendor lock-in schemes is probably _not_ to guarantee the lock-in wedge applications a large market share by not providing any competition for them in the biggest OS market.
Maybe I'm wrong, though. Maybe turning the OS into a commodity to resist lock-in schemes is counterproductive. Maybe we should *encourage* people to use Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office and all those DRM technologies so it'll be as hard as possible for them to to make the switch to a free OS... I'm not sure I understand how that would help, though.
By brion at Sun, 2004/07/25 - 5:00am
Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
You encourage people to do that by making people look at applications like K3B and others, and giving people a great alternative environment to run them in - that isn't Windows. If you like applications like K3B and others, you can move - it's that simple. That is the attitude Microsoft has taken with Windows over the years, and we can't be any different. You don't give people an excuse to keep using Windows by expending massive amounts of needless effort to port applications to it. I think Microsoft has enough resources to do that for themselves.
The commodity desktop does not mean accepting, and porting to, Windows.
By David at Sun, 2004/07/25 - 5:00am
Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
what props up OSes are the apps and 3rd party development. which is why i'd much rather see proprietary apps (inc MS apps) join the mix of Free Software on Free OSes than Free Software applications join the mix of proprietary apps on proprietary OSes.
moving from IE to something not IE is going to be as expensive whether you do it on Windows or not on Windows. the only IE issue, really, is ActiveX components (and other such Windows specific technologies). this isn't helped whether they stage their move or do it all at once.
moving from MS Office to something not MS Office is going to be as expensive whether you do it on Windows or not on Windows since it's all about the file formats and not much else. moving things like Access databases is more troublesome because those file formats are weakly supported by Free Software apps.
just as important as the browser or Office switches, however, are the supporting apps. these are applications to which there is little to no data issues: music, CD / DVD authoring, desktop publishing (there are no switching alternatives here, usually; it's often "recreate everything"), graphics, file management, educational software, etc...
if we have nothing but a bunch of apps can also get where you already are (e.g. Windows or MacOS X) and they run just as well there, why would people switch? meanwhile, Microsoft will take advantage of this lead time and once again mess with APIs to give their application software a competitive edge landing us right back at square one.

Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
i don't think removing people's hard work is a useful approach, and i wouldn't want to dictate what other people can or can not work on when it comes to Free Software. however, i do think it's important to keep the focus and direction moving towards Free software rather than away from it. the proprietary UNIX world is already well on its way in that direction, and the proprietary UNIX world has been much more accepting and supportive of the Free / Open Source community. usually it's people running those proprietary UNIXes that do the porting (if at all necessary) so they can run Open Source software (this includes the MacOS X ppl); whereas it has been my observation that on Windows it's often people on Free systems hoping to dangle a carrot out to Windows users who then spend their time doing just that.
our priority (and by "our" i mean the whole Open Source community, not "KDE") should be on Open Source systems first and foremost. non-Free OSes which are no t providing support for themselves should be a distant second concern.
By Aaron J. Seigo at Mon, 2004/07/26 - 5:00am
Re: Qt-based Free Software on Windows?
The hypocrite of the repeated request for removal of the already reasonable per-developer license in favor of a market dominating proprietary system which is only available with per-machine licenses plus lots of additional EULA restrictions is not even funny anymore.

A few questions
Trolltech can put the price they want to the qpl license? They can put a special price for a particular company?. If KDE take over the desktop this can be a problem?
By I at Sat, 2004/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: A few questions
Well, in this case just use the GPL'ed version, that's the correct licence anyway...
By Tobias König at Sat, 2004/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: A few questions
and if your company depend on a propietary program? you want to say that qpl license is useless? all the world must embrace GPL? is Windows more free? you can use the license you want
By I at Sat, 2004/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: A few questions
Right. Trolltech will start charging $1billion for Qt commercial license to screw KDE...
Do understand the concept of making money at all? Let me explain this to you:

By Reality Check at Tue, 2004/07/27 - 5:00am
Re: A few questions
KDEs developer-base is many times larger than Qts. If it really became an issue and they somehow circumvented the FreeQt agreement (can't see how it can be done though), Qt would be reimplemented in half a year or so.
It's not like there are secret undocumented API calls we could be strugling to implement for a decade like win32.
By Allan S. at Tue, 2004/07/27 - 5:00am
Re: A few questions
How is Windows more free? You can distribute software by any license (same as Linux), but you can't bundle dependencies without legal action. I really hate this business about more choices being a bad thing; a license is a license is a license, and if you can't abide by it, you're breaking the law. The difference is that licenses like the GPL give you the freedom, but I guess it's like the old saying about giving an inch: give a user a little freedom and they whine about little restrictions.
Rant finsished.
By Keith at Mon, 2004/07/26 - 5:00am
Re: A few questions
Windows is there, users pay the libraries. Windows is more free as in free beer for developers, OK?
By I at Mon, 2004/07/26 - 5:00am
What is it worth?
First, it is a nice move from Trolltech to renew the agreement and Trolltech has shown that it really cares about Free Software when it GPLed Qt.
But what is the agreement really worth when Trolltech gets bough up?
"... should Trolltech ever discontinue making regular releases of the Qt Free Edition for any reason - ... - the Qt Free Edition will be released under the BSD license ..."
What is regular? Every 10 years?
What is a release? Change a few bits and delete a method and give it a new number?
"... the Qt Free Edition will be released under the BSD license ..."
Who will release if Trolltech does not exist anymore and the company which has bought it doesn't want to?
I do not want to be negative as this encouragement to use Qt is a positive act. But could it have real legal consiquences when I want to develop non-free software, and make sure that another (not too small) company cannot severely hurt my business by buying Trolltech and let Qt practically die?
By guenther.palfinger at Mon, 2004/07/26 - 5:00am
Re: What is it worth?
"What is regular? Every 10 years?"
The agreement spells these things out, see the links at the bottom of http://www.kde.org/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation.php#updated_agreement
"Who will release if Trolltech does not exist anymore and the company which has bought it doesn't want to?"
If they stop releasing either Qt altogether or just Qt Free Edition (which continuing to release non-free Qt), then the provisions of the agreement kick in in 12 months and the KDE Free Qt Foundation has the right to make the BSD-licensed release. "Doesn't want to" would be followed by a lawsuit if necessary, and a court will order them to fulfill the obligations they took on by their purchase.
By brion at Mon, 2004/07/26 - 5:00am
Re: What is it worth?
Thank's for the link. I don't know why I didn't find it myself, although looking for it.
IMHO, it is really very well phrased - one couldn't ask for more.

More renders of the Lumia 720 and Lumia 520 Windows Phones from Nokia have surfaced on Twitter. Both smartphones have yet to be announced by the company, but that hasn't halted @evleaks in publishing more renders. We previously looked at images shared by the Twitter account yesterday. We were impressed by how Nokia appears to be continuing down its current design path.
Check out a further render above of the Lumia 520 ("Zeal") in multiple colours. To recap on specifications, we're looking at a reported 4-inch super sensitive screen, 1Ghz dual-core processor, 512MB RAM, 8GB of storage, HSPA+, and a 5MP rear camera to boot. Not a bad feature set for another seemingly low-end Windows Phone.
Speaking of leaked renders, we've also got some more Lumia 720 colours to show off:
If you've somehow forgotten (or aren't sure about) what we're looking at for the Lumia 720 Windows Phone, it's reported the device will feature a 4.3-inch ClearBlack display, 1Ghz dual-core processor, 512MB RAM, 8GB of storage, HSPA+, micro-SD card expansion, and 6MP / 2MP rear / front camera combination. The device was recently spotted in AdDuplex data.
Not only have we been able to see new renders of both Windows Phones, MyNokiaBlog notes that such images may have been leaked 5 months prior, which were believed to resemble the Lumia 820. The likes of WPDang published some hands-on photos of a device that now looks like the Lumia 520.

Control-Arm Endlinks 101- Suspension ConnectionPosted in How To: Suspension Brakes on April 18, 2014
Whether you're running an independent, leaf-sprung, or multilink suspension, each system has a joint at which it pivots or flexes. These suspension joints are what allow items like your control arms and leaf springs to cycle without binding or breaking. Just like trucks, not all joints are built alike. If you've been in the market for a new suspension kit, you've likely noticed that many aftermarket companies offer its own brand-specific joint variation.
Rod Ends
Spherical rod-ends are one of the most commonly used joints in the aftermarket. From sway bar endlinks to long-travel A-arms, these non-rebuildable joints range drastically in strength and size. A rod-end's basic design consists of a swiveling steel ball that's pressed inside a forged-steel body. Many rod-ends will also have some type of injected plastic filler or Teflon liner to help the ball rotate freely.
The misalignment spacers that accompany the joints can center the rod-end, so it can have a high degree of rotation. This generally equates to an increased range of motion and reduced bind during articulation. Desert-bound and go-fast Trophy Trucks and Ultra4 race buggies often use rod-ends on their suspensions because high-quality versions can be incredibly durable and survive well in the dry desert conditions. Right- and left-hand thread variants of the joints make them easy for the user to adjust.
We've had great luck using rod-ends as steering endlinks on our trail rigs. This isn't a universally embraced practice for daily driven vehicles, but when used with a high-quality rod-end, can be a very simple, strong, and effective way to finish out the steering system on your 4x4. Rod-ends are sometimes hard to find in a pinch, which makes it a part you definitely want to keep a spare of. There are some schools of thought that suggest only running right-hand joints, so you only need to carry one spare. The downside is a link with two right-hand joints can't be as easily adjusted as a link with left- and right-hand fittings.
Panhard or track bars are also another place rod-ends work well, but given the steel joints have virtually no way of absorbing vibrations, more of it will be transmitted throughout the rig. This harsh transmittal-vibration and solid-mount can lead to bracket fatigue, and in some cases, complete failure. A wet and muddy climate will also prematurely wear rod-ends, requiring you to replace them more often. For the most part, rod-ends are ideally better suited for competition and off-road-only vehicles.
At the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) level, most companies use compound-rubber bushings as the pivot joint of choice. This is largely due to its durability, vibration damping, and low manufacturing cost. Compound-rubber bushings are the most widely used, cost-effective, and easy-to-come-by joints. They are inexpensive and generally easy to replace and tend to be a great joint for the vast majority of 'wheelers. However, as with the other joint options, not all rubber bushings are created equal.
Vibration absorption may be the rubber bushings biggest claim to success. Less vibration equates to less strain and wear and tear on your rigs parts. While they do provide ample movement for most suspension systems, they typically do not have as much range-of-motion as rod-ends. In terms of cost and availability, bushings rank the highest on our list, as they are the most easily purchased. From car dealerships to auto-parts houses, sourcing a replacement bushing is usually a much easier endeavor than scouting for a rod-end or flex joint.
One of the most durable bushings we've found on the market is located under the Jeep Wrangler TJ and JK. In a world where aftermarket suspensions are at the top of most 'wheelers must-have list, it's sometimes hard to fathom that stock is what works best. What is often forgotten or overlooked is the massive amount of money, time, and research that has gone into making OE control arm bushings what they are today. Some aftermarket companies even use the factory control arm bushings in their suspension systems.
In the aftermarket suspension world, you'll often see urethane bushings as an option or factory-replacement upgrade. Urethane bushings are generally more durable than factory-style bushings but can be a touch stiffer. This stiffer compound will often tighten the feel of your suspension by removing the unwanted play that rubber bushings, especially when well-worn, can deliver. The urethane joints' oil-resistant composition prevent them from breaking down as easily as their rubber counterparts but often require more servicing (grease) to prevent squeaking. Both urethane and compound-rubber joints are more accommodating to harsh or wet climates.
For a daily driven vehicle, it is hard to beat a bushing for cost and value. Sure, your rig's articulation may be more limited, but a set of lockers will take care of the need for all your wheels to be planted. We're perfectly happy running bushings in our rig's control arms, and occasionally, use them for sway-bar endlinks and track bars. With leaf-sprung rigs, urethane bushings work well in both the springs and shackles when greased regularly.
Rebuildable Flex Joints
OK, you've read about bushings and rod-ends and you're probably piling up the pros and cons of each. If your next thought is you need something in-between, well, here it is. A rebuildable flex-style joint, such as the Currie Enterprises Johnny Joint, has been one of the most popular joints in recent years. Mostly due to their ability to absorb vibration better than a rod-end, while maintaining a durable, and often competition-proven, design.
Each rebuildable-style flex joint has its own way of securing inside the link end, but most companies choose a polyurethane insert for the spherical ball to rotate on. The flex joints are usually forged and can range in price, quality, and longevity. For avid 'wheelers who still drive their vehicles a fair amount on the street, flex joints offer a sweet spot between OE bushings and rod-ends. This happy medium does come at a premium, though.
Rebuildable flex joints can be just as expensive, sometimes more so, than rod-ends, and are often available as special order only. You can most likely forget about your local parts store keeping them in stock. It's wise to carry a spare, or at the very least, spare parts, since they are rebuildable. Even though the entry price may be steep, the cost to rebuild an average joint is generally fairly inexpensive and it's something you can easily do at home.
As is the theme with the flex joints, they fall somewhere in the middle when it comes to climate survival. Assuming they are serviced regularly (greased around every oil change), they should last quite a while. Some bodies are more susceptible to rust than others. When used in control arms, the joints simply work great and are often fitted with a urethane or compound-rubber bushing at the opposing end of the link. Track bars are another acceptable use, and we've even seen them used with great results in anti-wrap bars.
Tie-Rod Ends
If you take a peek under your stock 4x4, you'll likely find an assortment of tie-rod ends. Mostly used on steering links, tie-rod ends have made appearances as track-bar ends over the years, as well. For steering systems, they are about as safe and versatile as you can get. The ease of availability, wide range of styles, and fact that they are greaseable -- though some are not -- make them an easy choice for factory and aftermarket steering manufactures.
The downside: Tie-rod ends are more prone to wearing out when mixed with large tires and heavy use off-road. As they wear, tie-rod ends can create slop in your steering, which is never a good feeling. There are a few tricks of the trade for removing them, but the dust boot is usually a mangled mess after an encounter with a pickle-fork tool. For custom applications, you must purchase a reamer or insert to create the tapered fit tie-rod ends require.
Reamers are not cheap, but the cost offset over high-end rod-ends is pretty close. Ultimately, tie-rod ends serve most rigs well, but like every joint on our list, they have their plusses and minuses. They are tops in our books for steering, but track bars are no place for them.

Council members voted unanimously Tuesday, March 19, to grant a conditional use permit to build the facility at 3641 S. U.S. 191.
"I think it's going to be a great addition for folks out in the valley," council chairman Gene Ciarus said after the decision.
The council's approval includes a requirement that lights be turned off at 10:30 p.m.
The $2.1 million facility will include two adult softball fields, two soccer fields, a multi-use pavilion and other items. The Grand County Recreation Special Service District will operate the park and pay $1.2 million of construction costs, with the Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board providing a $923,500 grant.
Duane Stewart, representing the nearby Rim Village condominium complex, said during a public hearing that residents support the park concept.
Grand County would own the park and its maintenance equipment.
The Grand County Planning and Zoning Commission previously recommended approval of the project, which has been discussed for the past decade.
Mike Steele, chairman of the recreation district's board of directors, has said the facility could open as early as this fall. In addition to sports fields and the pavilion, there will be picnic shelters, an extra toilet to comply with land use regulations, and a future playground, according to plans.

I'll be up front, I'm not the biggest supporter of charities and causes, I've seen first hand how the people they usually benefit most are the administrators who run the thing, most of the money never makes it the people or the causes they claim to want to help.
Riders For Health is different. It's a small organization where most of the money DOES make it to the people it wants to help. The other thing that I like is that it appeals to my libertarian bent in that it uses local people to build up local infrastructures in Africa, no well healed do gooders swoop in to claim accolades they don't deserve.
One of the main people behind this organization is Randy Mamola, four times a runner up in the 500GP championship, he works tirelessly in raising awareness and getting people he knows in the motorcycle industry to donate things for the big auction they have at the "Day Of Champions" before the Donnington MotoGP race, which is hosted by our friend Toby Moody and his announcing partner Julian Ryder.
This week at the MotoGP race at Laguna Seca, they will also be doing something similar here in having an auction to raise money for the organization, calling it, "The Day Of Stars". Have a look at Scott Jones' write up of an auction Riders For Health did leading up to the MotoGP race at Laguna
Rather than me try to explain exactly what and how they do, Riders For Health produced this video that is quite good.
If you'd like to find out more information you can read up on them on their website www.riders.org

First time in Miami and it was nice to see Markus at Space after hearing all of the old GDJB's from 93.1 back in the day. The DJ booth is pretty dark so you cannot see much so the videos are more to hear some tracks he played that night. Change to 1080p for best quality and please ID any of the tracks if you know them. I am behind on my GDJB's so I don't think I've heard that new Remember Magnetic North remix before this night?
I also attached some pictures but the upload size limit is 97.7Kb so I had to make them smaller.
Full playlist - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...ature=view_all

Live Video of the Republican National Convention
Technology, I believe, accelerates the growth of knowledge and action needed to solve the problems in our society. Less than a decade ago, YouTube did not exist. Today, YouTube streams live coverage of the Republican National Convention to the entire world. Do the Republicans have the answers our country needs? Watch the convention yourself and you decide.
I was hoping to find a lot more info on the RNC website, but I find a lot of finger pointing but hardly any ideas or solutions. Maybe the smart minds of our nation are waiting for a grand finale on the 30th. I'll stay tuned to see what arises.

More quick notes...
Here is the news of the day.
*I brought the cabbage from my house, isn't it pretty?
*Thank you all so much for your kind words on the blog, I read them all throughout the day and they keep me smiling. I am so touched and can't believe how many people actually take the time to read this blog.
*I have a coffee-grinder-savior. Many thanks to Eric for loaning me this great machine until I can buy one myself... I will be using his fair-trade organic coffee.
*Two fantastic people came by and brought flowers. G&A, you are beyond. BEYOND.
This reminds me that I need to say that I am so so lucky to be surrounded by incredible people. Really. I can't believe how generous people have been with their time and words and resources.
*I made 3 soups during today's crazystorm: chipotle chicken with black beans and corn. broccoli and cheddar. sweet potato, lemongrass and coconut.
*My neighbors saw me (sitting on the grass), early morning, trying to get my tall grass out of the planters, pulling with my hands, pushing with my feet, huffing and puffing. Man, what a sight.
*Gas stove = Charred green peppers = burrito love.
*Apparently, I have the same flooring as Play. Some people from the neighborhood came in and told us. And they also told us that we need a liquor license, asap.
*I need a double. Any of you read Calvin and Hobbes? I want a cardboard box that duplicates me.

Iowa Tax Credit Claimsdata.iowa.gov | Last Updated 2018-03-28T18:14:02.000Z
The data includes information on tax credit claims in Iowa reported on the IA 148 Tax Credits Schedule. The tax credits were claimed against the individual income, corporate income, franchise, and insurance premiums tax types. The IA 148 was introduced in tax year 2006. The most recent tax year with complete and verified data is 2012. There were over 30 tax credit types that could be claimed on the IA 148 in tax years 2006 through 2012. Some credits are awarded, the year of the award is included when available, while others require no award. Tax credits are nonrefundable or refundable. If a nonrefundable tax credit amount exceeds tax liability, the amount applied will be limited to tax liability and the balance of the credit either expires or becomes carry forward for the next tax year. Refundable tax credits can be claimed for the full amount regardless of tax liability. Because taxpayers can file amended returns, the tax credit claim data are subject to change. For individual income taxpayers, data on the county of residence and the adjusted gross income of the taxpayer are included.

This dataset contains aggregate Medicaid payments, and counts for eligible recipients and recipients served by month and county in Iowa, starting with month ending 1/31/2011. Eligibility groups are a category of people who meet certain common eligibility requirements. Some Medicaid eligibility groups cover additional services, such as nursing facility care and care received in the home. Others have higher income and resource limits, charge a premium, only pay the Medicare premium or cover only expenses also paid by Medicare, or require the recipient to pay a specific dollar amount of their medical expenses. Eligible Medicaid recipients may be considered medically needy if their medical costs are so high that they use up most of their income. Those considered medically needy are responsible for paying some of their medical expenses. This is called meeting a spend down. Then Medicaid would start to pay for the rest. Think of the spend down like a deductible that people pay as part of a private insurance plan.

For Women the HIFU treatment is perfect for Anti Aging. Our treatment offer the latest, non surgical, proven technology for lifting and tightening the face and neck. Contact us today!
Non surgical facelift – Women
So, if you want to look your best and be admired for your youthful looks, this is the treatment for you.
When you come to the clinic for consultation, the staff will ask about your needs and wishes and what areas of treatment you require.
Our experts will take some details about you and your health in order to ensure that the procedure is right for you. You can ask questions and get honest advice about your needs and the results that you are looking for.
And with clinics nationwide, there is likely to be a clinic in your area or within a convenient travelling distance.
You will need to discuss with the clinic how many treatments you may need in order to get the results you are aiming for, as well as the costs and payment options.
Most major credit and debit cards are accepted and a competitive price is offered.
All consultations and enquiries are in complete confidence and you will be treated with respect and professionalism. Each client has individual needs and a plan will be arranged accordingly.
But what is this non-surgical facelift? What is HIFU? And how does it work? Is it safe? Is it permanent?
The treatment works by ultrasound stimulating the natural anti-ageing product, collagen in the body, leading to the reversal of signs of ageing such as lines, wrinkles and sagging, and resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin.
Ultrasound is used to reach deep skin layers and change them in ways that other anti-ageing treatments can't. We can stimulate the body's healing mechanisms by bringing targeted heat to deep tissue.
Consequently, the skin is revived, appears smoother and more sculpted around the jaw, nose, mouth and eyes. The treatment can also remove sagging jowls and heavy eyelids and tighten the jaw and neck skin.
Although the effects are noticeable after one session, it can take a while to start seeing the final results. So this treatment is ideal for anyone who is self-conscious about their appearance and wants to look their best.
The treatment can also be repeated if necessary as time goes on and signs of ageing start to return. Each treatment is estimated to take between 30 and 90 minutes and is carried out in a sterile, clinic and professional environment by trained and insured professionals.
There is no anaesthetic involved, and you can return to work immediately after treatment. The area may be a few weeks of sensitivity in the treated area with some temporary redness and tenderness but normally no risk and no infection. But generally, it is a safe procedure as well as fast, convenient and affordable. The risks of procedures going wrong, which are very real with surgical facelifts, are completely absent with this procedure. So relax and look forward to the new, more youthful you.
Treatment is suitable for anyone aged 30 or over, but more usually 40s and 50s, or even 60s, who have noticed sagging and lines on their facial and neck skin and who are unhappy about it. The results can vary from person to person and can depend on the laxity of the skin, and their health, every person is different but generally, results tend to be satisfactory and noticeable.
The procedures are carried out by highly skilled and trained professionals, who want what is best for you and for you to be happy and satisfied with the results of the procedure. If you are considering treatment, don't get stressed about the possibilities, contact our clinic. We will be happy to clarify anything that you are unsure about.
The end result should be a firmer and more youthful profile, you'll be proud of.
The end result should be a firmer and more youthful profile, you'll be proud of.

For over fifty years, the Type Directors Club has encouraged the worldwide graphic arts community to achieve excellence in typography through its annual international competitions. Typography 33 is the only annual devoted exclusively to typography and presents the finest work in the field for the year 2011. Selected from approximately 2300 international submissions to the annual Type Directors Club competition, the winning designs are models of excellence and innovation in the use of type design, representing a wide range of categories including books, magazines, corporate identities, logos, stationery, annual reports, video and web graphics, and posters.
About the Author
Each year, the Type Directors Club selects a prominent design studio or designer for the latest Typography book, which showcases the winners of their annual typography competition. Tremendous creative freedom is given to each studio, which is why this annual book evolves and varies from year to year.
The designer of Typography 31 is Paul Sahre. Paul is a well-known graphic designer, illustrator, educator, author and former World Graphic Design Foosball Champion. Paul established his New York studio in 1997. The balance he strikes between commercial and personal projects is evident in the physical layout of his workspace: part design studio, part silkscreen lab, part classroom. In one room he designs and prints posters (some now in the permanent collection at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum) for various off-off Broadway theaters, while in the other room he is busy designing book covers for authors such as Rick Moody, Chuck Klosterman, Ben Marcus and Victor Pelevin.
Paul received his BFA and MFA in graphic design from Kent State and teaches graphic design at the School of Visual Arts. He is a frequent contributor to the New York Times Op-Ed page, a member of Alliance Graphic International, and the author of Leisurama Now: The Beach House for Everyone, 1964-, a loving look at a short-lived product of early '60s consumer optimism: affordable middle-class summer homes.
