If your summer air show plans include shopping for a Light Sport Aircraft, picking up gadgets that enhance your aviation experience, admiring rare warbirds or basking in the glory of record setting aircraft, you'll want to be at Wittman Regional Airport (OSH) in Oshkosh, Wis., July 25-31. This year's EAA AirVenture promises all that, and more.
Start your day with a visit to AeroShell Square to see SpaceShip One/The White Knight, the first successful civilian aircraft to reach the edge of space and return. This may be the last public appearance of SpaceShip One/The White Knight as it is on its way to the Smithsonian for permanent display. Also slated for display at AirVenture is Steve Fossett's Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer, in which he flew around the world, solo and non-stop, in March.
It would not be AirVenture without some classic warbirds on the ramp. As part of the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, Glacier Girl, the P-38 dug out of the ice in Greenland and so painstakingly restored, will be on display. The last time the twin-tailed beauty was at the show was before the restoration, when it was nothing more than a pile of parts.
AirVenture 2005 marks the first year ready to fly, certified Light Sport Aircraft are available. According to AirVenture spokesman Dick Knapinski, LSAs will be prominently displayed.
"This year we plan to have a large display area located just south of AeroShell Square where we hope to have 25 to 50 Light Sport Aircraft, along with representatives from the companies that build and import them," he said. "We think of it as a shopping mall type concept where people can see the different designs next to each other and get an idea of what is out there."
For the junior pilots in the family, EAA KidVenture has added kite construction and model spacecraft and aircraft building.
For the more kinetic big kid in all of us, the Armed Forces will have their simulators back for wanna-be fighter pilots, while the smallest aviators can fly pedal planes.
If you're in the market for aircraft parts, electronic navigation goodies, or aviation inspired novelty items, you'll probably find someone selling it in one of the four exhibitor hangars or outdoor display areas.

Robert Pattinson has packed his bags.
Following Kristen Stewart's public apology for having a fling with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, the 26-year-old actor has left the Los Angeles home he shared with Stewart, PEOPLE has confirmed.
"I'm not sure they'll be able to recover from this," a source says of the couple of three years, who met making the Twilight trilogy.
In seclusion and not in contact with Stewart, 22, the British star "is heartbroken and angry," says the source.
A "devastated" Stewart, meanwhile, described Pattinson as "the person I love and respect the most" in her apology following revelations of her indiscretion with Sanders, 41, a married father of two.
"Kristen really loves Rob more than anything," says an insider. "He's all that matters to her right now."

Krstic could return to action as soon as tonight agains the Sixers. In the WEEI video above he asserts that he thinks he will be ready for at least the playoffs.
The Serbian seven-footer also sees a bit of a silver lining to his injury. After a strong start to his Celtics career, Krstic had tapered off. When he first got to the team he didn't know the system very well. He was just playing and not worrying if he made any mistakes because he had that excuse. However, after learning the system he began to do more thinking than acting and it effected his performance.
Since being sidelined last Thursday against the Spurs, Krstic had taken on the role of a back up quarterback, watching and learning from the bench. He think it's helped a lot.
"Maybe these two games I missed are a good thing," said Krstic after Monday's practice. "Everything is going to settle down in my head. I was on the side, watching plays and watching how guys play. We'll see. I have six more games to pick it up. I think I'll be ready for the playoffs."
As for the injury itself, Nenad thinks all he has left are some mental hurdles.
"Mentally, I'm not 100 percent," said Krstic after Monday's practice. "My knee, I still feel pain but MRI showed it's nothing really serious so I can get through that pain. I know it's not going to get serious. Mentally, it's just the first practice after. It was really tough for me. I was thinking it was more serious when it [happened] but maybe it's still in my head."
If Nenad truly has learned a lot from being a spectator, that's a great sign for the Celtics. With Shaq unaccountable and Jermaine just returning from his own injury, Krstic could lend a big hand in a playoff run.
6 Responses so far.
Norman D says:
Krstic should stayed glued to the bench, he's awful. Give me Joe Kleine now over him.
semioticus (shelbyl) says:
"When he first got to the team he didn't know the system very well. He was just playing and not worrying if he made any mistakes because he had that excuse. However, after learning the system he began to do more thinking than acting and it effected his performance."
Never thought about it this way, and this makes sense.
Bohemian says:
Joe Kleine was much worse than Nenad. It shows people haven't really seen Krstic play. Plus, why do fans always compare white players with other white guys? Kleine and Krstic couldn't be more different.
Norman D says:
Nenad was a better offensive player than Kleine, but Joe would be a much better fit for this team. He was a tougher defender, wouldn't back down from Gasol or Bynum, had the good mid range shot and was solid on the defensive glass.
He would've picked up the defensive rotations quicker and he would've fit his role better.
Krstic looks like Luc Longley during his Timberwolf days; timid around the basket, dropping passes, messing up constantly.
And who else should I have compared him to Bohomian? A washed-up James Buddha Edwards? Herb Williams? Wayne Cooper? Benoit Benjamin? Because they're NOT white? None of their games match his. He's not identical to Kleine but I was thinking of ex-Celtics. Otherwise I would've thrown out there Slava Medvedenko or Željko Rebrača (without the 3 point range). Oh but they're white too. So I guess I can't mention them
tb727 says:
Fuck off Norman
Bohemian says:
Kleine would do what? Please... and I suppose you dislike Jermaine O'Neal too. Is Kleine also better than JO?
Benoit Benjamin, Buddha Edwards?? Are you serious? Jeez. Are you comparing them to Eddy Curry or Olowokandi?
Krstic is just not very good defensively. He has problems defending and blocking but at least he tries.

The Flower Wasp here is commonly know as Blue-black Flower Wasp or Hairy Flower Wasp belong to family Scoliidae. It has a black hairy body, orange colored antennae and shiny blue wings. The adult wasp feeds upon nectar and thus helps in pollination. The larvae act as important bio-control agents, feeding upon beetle larvae in the ground.

Stereotypically, educatorrs aren't necessarily known for their teacher fashion sense but those of us walking the hallways everyday know plenty of teachers who belong on the style honor roll.
Looking good does not come easily for those of us at the head of the class. Classroom dwellers can face some serious teacher fashion challenges. Full days on your feet surrounded by dry erase markers, crowded hallways and dirty students' hands don't bode well for high-priced, high-concept style. Nor does a teacher salary or insanely busy schedules. It's hard to find time to think much less plan the perfect outfit.
To help, we've collected the Top 12 Tips just for teacher fashion. Break out of your wardrobe rut this fall and bring practical and affordable style back into the classroom!
School ID Discount
Several stores offer discounts just for being a teacher. J.Crew and Ann Taylor are two major retailers that offer teacher deals, but I'd suggest asking at the register wherever you're shopping.
If a brand wants to celebrate our profession with lower cost clothing options, I say embrace it as a not-so-minor perk of the job! (Can you name another career where you get summer vacations and 20% off at J.Crew? I didn't think so).
Build on the Basics
Create a wardrobe with classic pieces that can be worn a multitude of ways. I know buying a plain dress or white button-up blouse doesn't sound terribly exciting, but if you think of these staple pieces as canvases that can be styled an infinite number of ways, it opens up a world of opportunity.
Dallas Stylist, Valerie Elizabeth's "little black dress experiment" illustrates how easy it is to look chic without spending a fortune.
Elizabeth wore the same dress for 30 days and, by using different accessories, shoes and layers, was able to create a new look each day of the challenge. I am not advocating wearing the same article for an entire semester or anything (I think our students would catch on), but I encourage you to look to Elizabeth for inspiration on getting maximum mileage out of great basics.
Target is Your Friend
I love Target. I do. I am consistently impressed by the high-quality, fashion-conscious items that are available at your local Target or online at Target.com. You can find everything from statement pieces (Check out the Mossimo, Merona and Designers for Target lines) to great versatile layering tops.
Bonus tip: Shop the Target junior's department for the softer, lighter weight cotton tees.
Vintage Values
It seems like fashionistas everywhere salivate upon the mere mention of the word "vintage." Lucky for us, vintage is (more or less) a fancy way of saying thrifted finds, so why not head over to your local thrift shop to find your own low-cost treasures!
While thrifting, read the labels! You will be amazed by the number of items you find by major fashion houses – not to mention, all of the pieces that come from Italy or France. Oooh lala. To make the search easier, try the touch test. Run your hand down the rack and you'll easily feel the difference between the high quality fabrics and the polyblends.
Not sure about how to incorporate vintage pieces without looking like you raided your mother's closet? Check out the blog, What I Wore, for daily photos and advice on how to successfully integrate older pieces into a contemporary wardrobe!
We Can't Afford Designer Clothes… or Can We?
Gone are the days when the only people with access to designer clothes are the insanely wealthy and the handful of New Yorkers with the time to visit midday (midweek) sample sales held in designers showrooms.
Designers are increasingly turning to online sale sites to clear out their fancy-fancy merchandise, which is basically awesome news for us common folk! Sites such as Gilt Groupe, Rue La La, and Hautelook host clearance sales with up to 80% off of apparel and accessories from designers such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs, Juicy Couture and Theory.
Be a Fashion Student
Turn to the professionals to track the season's hottest trends. There are hundreds of free online fashion resources, meaning you can get cutting-edge style advice without shelling out the $6 for your copy of Vogue. You just have to do your research!
Sites such as Who What Wear, Intermix and Shopbop all have well-styled (free) lookbooks for you to study.
And my favorite fashion learning aid definitely comes from celebrity stylist, Rachel Zoe. Ms. Zoe just launched The Zoe Report, a daily newsletter with her recommendations on hot products, brands and pieces. Her selections are often under the radar, but are always exquisite.
Lucky for us, every edition of the Zoe Report also features a low-cost alternative to that day's highlighted trend.
Teacher-Appropriate Trends
Once you begin to study the great stylists, certain trends will emerge that inspire and excite you. Go for it! Embrace the trends, but please, please look age-appropriate. We don't, after all, want to be confused with (gasp!) one of our students!
Go Librarian Chic
We all know how the temperature in our classrooms can vacillate between Dante's inferno and arctic blast over the course of one period. Embrace your inner librarian and layer, layer, layer! Oversized cardigans paired with belts, scarves and tights will help you seamlessly navigate the change in seasons, not to mention the schizophrenic in-school climate.
Button-up collars and long skirts/dresses are also in this season, so your first librarian layer will give you a fashion-forward look!
Fall for the "Boyfriend Blazer"
Last fall's big hit, the boyfriend blazer, is still very much in fashion. To keep it fresh and new, add hanging earrings, an architectural choker or other statement-making accessories.
Oversized jackets are getting a lot of attention. We are seeing the traditional blazer look being shaken up with a disregard for structure and an appreciation for unexpected editing. To find the right relaxed jacket, shop in your closet.
Take advantage of this professional yet trendy look by throwing a boyfriend blazer over almost any outfit!
Make a Statement with Accessories!
This fall, jewelry is big, bold and ornate and is designed to bring flair to even the most basic of outfits. Have fun with it! There is no reason to spend a lot of money on pieces that will inevitably go out of style next season, so I say turn to less expensive stores and let your imagination run wild! Forever 21, H&M and Topshop (the chic & cheap British store is now available online) are my go-to places to find maximum impact bling
A warning: the opulent statement necklaces (like these expensive, but to-die-for pieces from Anthropologie) may be hard to pull off at work, but would be a great way to transition some of your basics from day-to-night, if you have after work plans.
Comfortable Shoes Don't Have To Be Ugly
Being on our feet for most of the day means comfortable shoes are imperative. But please don't let that be an excuse for sporting busted footwear! I am not saying you should try and suffer through the day in high heels – not at all. Instead, I encourage you to think sensibly AND stylishly, by turning to wedges, flat boots and ballet flats to complete your outfits.
It is worth noting, that all hopes for high heels are not lost. Cole Haan makes an incredible line of beautiful shoes with Nike Air technology built into each one. These shoes can only be described as magical – pumps, flats and boots that look extremely luxe while feeling like a sneaker.

6-3-11 PNC Park
It's been about 10 days since my last game. I've cut down on the road trips since last year, as an average trip to Cleveland costs $75 a game, and a trip to Washington or Baltimore averages about $100 a game in gas and tolls. It wasn't worth it to me.
Amy and I have spent the last ten days scouring the housing market. I've decided that I want to have a nice house for my baby daughter (due in August) to grow up in. Our current one bed room apartment just isn't cutting it.
Amy and I have been putting together lists, driving around, and scratching off 80% of the houses we drive by. We've toured six solid contenders so far, and are looking at houses in the $150,000-$200,000 range. All of the ones we like are 200k, which is a huge commitment. So, as you can see, at least for the time being, I would rather spend my money on a house than ballhawking trips as I have in the past.
Anyhow, my first two balls of the day came from Brandon Wood. The first one was thrown to me from left field, but fell well short. The ball rested on the warning track, where I glove tricked it for ball #1.
I usually do not use my glove trick during the Pirates batting practice. I figure that if I am seen using the glove trick it will make the Pirates pitchers less likely to want to toss me a ball. However, since many of the Pirates pitchers seem to dislike the fact that I am there every game, I just went for it.
Wood did not see me use the glove trick, and turned and threw a perfect strike to me for ball #2 at the end of the Pirates batting practice.
My third ball was glove tricked during the Phillies BP in left field, and my fourth ball was a clean catch of a home run here:
My fifth and final ball was glove tricked in right field.
It wasn't any usual glove trick. It was the first time I ever glove tricked a ball from a top the Clemente wall.
I spent the last twenty minutes in left field, but didn't get anything. It was just too crowded.
Game: 5 balls (1 hit, 1 thrown, 3 device)
Season: 167 balls (64 hit, 38 thrown, 41 device, 23 found)
Games: 27 games
Average: 6.19 balls per game
Career: 1,289 balls
Attendance: 33,861

A bipartisan proposal to expand background checks for gun sales failed in part due to Republicans' desire to prevent President Barack Obama from winning a victory on a major policy initiative, the gun proposal's chief GOP proponent said Wednesday.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who crafted a proposal with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., to extend background checks to firearms purchased at gun shows and online, said the measure failed to win the 60 votes it needed to win passage due to Republican politics.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., joins Morning Joe to discuss the defeat of the Toomey-Manchin amendment to expand gun background checks and the impact sequester cuts are having on flight delays.
"In the end it didn't pass because we're so politicized," Toomey told editors from Digital First Media in an interview published Wednesday by the Norristown Times Herald.
"There were some on my side who did not want to be seen helping the president do something he wanted to get done, just because the president wanted to do it," Toomey added.
His comments suggest that his fellow Republicans' votes weren't governed so much by judgment of good policy so much as a desire to deprive Obama of a political and legislative victory.
It's a phenomenon to which the president himself alluded on Tuesday when speaking at a news conference about the parts of his agenda that have stalled in Congress.
"Their base thinks that compromise with me is somehow a betrayal. They're worried about primaries," Obama said. "And I understand all that. And we're going to try to do everything we can to create a permission structure for them to be able to do what's going to be best for the country. But it's going to take some time."
The sentiment could infect other second term priorities of Obama's currently before Congress, like comprehensive immigration reform or a broader agreement with Republicans on taxes and entitlements.

Microsoft's Surface Headed to Japan
Surface RT, the consumer version of Microsoft's new tablet, is headed to another important market. After debuting the RT in the U.S., Canada and a few other countries last fall, Microsoft is preparing to release the device in Japan — perhaps as early as next month. Sources close to Microsoft tell the Nikkei that Microsoft intends to bring Surface RT to Japan in March, a move that will pit the Microsoft-designed device against competing offerings from local manufacturing partners like Sony and Fujitsu.

The sport of college has evolved to the point where offenses tend to favor the passing game more than the running game, but once a team penetrates the red zone there are some dependable options carrying the football. Perhaps none are better right now than Arizona State running back Marion Grice.
Arizona State has been inside the red zone 43 times this season. The Sun Devils still get pass-happy inside the 20-yard line but Grice has carried the football 31 times through seven games and has scored a touchdown a little more than a third of the time. That is a pretty good ratio, and among the best in the country.
Here is a list of the top ten running backs with red zone touchdowns, according to CFBStats.com (as of October 23, 2013). No running back in the country has more red zone touchdowns than Grice, but Boise State's Jay Ajayi is right in the conversation.
Red Zone Rushing Touchdowns
- Marion Grice (Arizona State) – 11
- Jay Ajayi (Boise State) – 10
Keenan Reynolds (Navy) – 10
- Antonio Andrews (Western Kentucky) – 9
Tyler Gaffney (Stanford) – 9
Dallas Crawford (Miami) – 9
Fitzgerald Toussaint (Michigan) – 9
- Jahwan Edwards (Ball State) – 8
Ben Malena (Texas A&M) – 8
Zach Zwinak (Penn State) – 8
Ajayi and Western Kentucky's Antonio Andrews have really been carrying the load for their teams inside the red zone. Of the players listed above, only Ajayi, Andrews and Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds have carried the football more than 31 times inside the red zone.

Hugh Cornwell Gives Thumbs-Up
To Free Downloading
and Offers Latest Release, Hooverdam, On Website
"Please Don't Put Me On A Slow Boat To Trowbridge"
MP3 Download Available Now!
In a recent BBC News interview, former Stranglers frontman Hugh Cornwell endorsed free music downloading, coming just as the British government plans to crack down on illegal downloaders. Hugh, currently touring the United States, argues that a new generation is exposed to his music through the Internet and they, in turn, spend more money on his live performances.
"There's a whole generation of people who have never heard of me or the band I used to be in, The Stranglers. The question is, how do I reach them?" Huh asks in the video. "As far as I'm concerned, the free downloading of music is something we should embrace and not fear… People introduced to my music free online are more likely to buy my records and come to my live shows."
Hugh is pioneering free downloads as his latest album, Hooverdam, is available for free download at his website, Hughcornwell.com which is available for viewing in twelve languages.
He has also released the MP3 for single "Please Don't Put Me On A Slow Boat To Trowbridge" from the new record which you can download here.
Hugh Cornwell is continues to tour the U.S. in support of Hooverdam. The tour kicked off March 24 in Tuscon, Arizona and continues throughout the country until wrapping up April 10 in Chicago.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Thanks to this new ScotTV , I feel like I know everything about Scotty McCreery and, most importantly, about his next album. In the webisode series' first installment, there is some behind-the-scenes footage of McCreery rehearsing for his Weekend Road Trip tour. He says he only has college classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, so his plan is to be on the road Thursday through Sunday. Then he says of the album he has in the works now, "I think it's definitely a huge step up from where we were two years ago with Clear as Day." That album gave us two Top 20 singles and a bunch of other amazing country songs, like "Write My Number on Your Hand," "Dirty Dishes," "Back on the Ground" and the title track. So I hope McCreery doesn't stray too far from the sound of his that we've grown to know and love.

"Hot Cross Buns are a real food? It's not just a song?"
I heard this several times at a party with friends on Sunday, and I couldn't help but laugh. I think just about every kid who owned a recorder learned how to play Hot Cross Buns. It also made me realize that as much as hot cross buns are considered an Easter tradition, not a lot of people actually make them. My family never did, so I've decided to start the tradition myself.
I really loved the buns, especially straight from the oven when they were soft and piping hot, sticky with the orange marmalade I brushed over the top - for my previous post with a recipe for the buns, click here.
After making the hot cross buns, I knew we were going to have leftovers, since there was so much delicious ham and other things to eat. And as homemade yeast bread without preservatives tends to do, I knew these would be getting stale as soon as the next day. Stale bread is perfect for re-purposing in dishes like strata and bread pudding. With the raisins and sweet spices already in the bread, I tossed the buns with an egg and milk custard to make bread pudding for breakfast.
To drizzle over the bread pudding, I made a sauce of orange juice, honey, vanilla and nutmeg, simmered and reduced until syrupy. Orange slices added a nice freshness. The flavors were reminiscent of the dinner we'd eaten the day before, the kind of dinner where you can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch.
This post is coming a little late, as I've been visiting my sister and her family this week, and having so much fun with my nieces. I'm missing Colorado, though, especially Jamie, and can't wait to see him waiting for me at the airport tomorrow...
Hot Cross Bun Bread Pudding
printable recipe
- 4 day-old hot cross buns, cut into cubes (about 6 cups)
- 2 whole eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 350. Spray 4 ramekins or oven-safe bowls with non-stick spray. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and set aside.
Place the bread cubes in a large bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and yolks, milk, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla and brown sugar. Pour mixture over the bread and toss with a spatula. Let sit for a few minutes until the bread absorbs the liquid. Divide mixture between the ramekins.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the all the ingredients for the sauce. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Pour the sauce over the bread pudding before serving.
Yields 4 servings.

Grizzlies and Teddy Bears rule ice at LaHaye Friday
February 8, 2013 | Lynchburg, Va.
When Lindsay LeBlanc scored a power-play goal on the follow of a shot by Scott Morongell, knotting the score at 1-1 just 3 minutes, 34 seconds into Friday night's game, fans of Liberty University's Division I men's hockey team threw 537 stuffed animals onto the rink of the LaHaye Ice Center.
"That was awesome," Flames head coach Kirk Handy said. "It was something we started last year, for Gleaning for the World, and we got 100 more (animals) this year than we did last year."
Unfortunately, the good will gesture in support of the Teddy Bear Brigade didn't have the same effect as Detroit Red Wings fans hurling an octopus onto the ice during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Oakland (Mich.) University, located just north of Detroit, responded with the next three scores to seize leads of 3-1 going into the second period and 4-1 heading into the third. The Grizzlies then countered a Flames goal with less than nine minutes left in regulation with their fifth and final score in a 5-2 conquest in the rematch of the 2006 DII championship game, also won by Oakland.
"The tide turned … when we gave up three goals in the first period, which isn't definitely how you want to start the game," Handy said, noting the Grizzlies got on the scoreboard first on a breakaway by Adam Novak just 21 seconds after the faceoff. "We got away from our game plan."
Liberty got back in the game midway through the third period when Morongell's slap shot from near the right side of the blue line was deflected in off assists from Matt Sherry (his second of the game) and Christian Garland.
"In the third, when we changed up the lines a little bit, I thought we put on our hardhats and started working again," Handy said.
However, Oakland padded its lead back to three goals just a minute and 18 seconds later when Anthony Colizza completed his hat trick with 7:35 to play.
Grizzlies' goalie Matt Toter, a transfer from Liberty, evened his record at 7-7-1 and lowered his goals-against average from 2.92 with the win, stopping 24 shots. For the game, Oakland outshot the Flames 38-26.
"They outworked us tonight and if they outwork us, those guys deserve to win," Handy said. "We have to change our work ethic for (Saturday) and come back ready to go."
It was the second win in three tries this season for the 12th-ranked Grizzles (19-15-2) against the 10th-ranked Flames (21-12-2), who will look to even the score Saturday at LaHaye when the puck again drops at 7 p.m.
"They're a good team," Handy said. "We're a good team, too, and we're going to come back (Saturday) ready to play … an overall better team game. We have some injuries where guys are out for the year, Blair (Bennett) and (Luke) Baumgarten and so on and so forth. But we're not going to hold that as an excuse. We're excited that (Saturday) night will be another game and we're going to have to play well."

In his last season, Ted Williams went out in style and hit a home run in his last-bat on September 28 at Fenway Park. In early August, the ballpark hosted a group of Jehovah's Witnesses who convened for a four-day assembly.
In his last season, Ted Williams went out in style and hit a home run in his last-bat on September 28 at Fenway Park. In early August, the ballpark hosted a group of Jehovah's Witnesses who convened for a four-day assembly.
Record: 65-89, 7th in American League
Manager: William F. Jurges (15-27), Michael F. Higgins (48-57), Del Baker (2-5)
Attendance: 1,129,866
After their fifth place finish the year before, the Red Sox entered the 1960 season without much hope. The team ended up at 65-89, 32 games behind New York.
With the end of Ted Williams' career, Jackie Jensen's offseason retirement and Pinky Higgins' deterioration, rumors swirled that the club could be sold. A group headed by Leo Durocher made a multi-million offer but Tom Yawkey squelched the rumors. Yawkey saved a little money when Williams, following his poor season in 1959, asked for a nearly 30% pay cut heading into 1960.
A year after integrating themselves, the Red Sox played the Indians in two spring training games in New Orleans, desegregating baseball in the city.
Manager Billy Jurges was frustrated and took a leave of absence on June 10, replaced by GM Pinky Higgins. One week later, Ted Williams hit the 500th home run of his career. Williams also drew his 2,000th career walk during the 1960 season, setting the career mark for patience at the plate by walking in 20.64% of his plate appearances.
Second baseman Pete Runnels hit .320, capturing the American League batting title that had eluded him when Williams beat him out on the final day of the 1958 campaign. Boston's pitching staff was led Medford, MA native Bill Monbouquette, who was an All-Star Game starter in 1960 at the age of 23.
But it was Ted Williams who stole the show in 1960. On September 24 on Jimmy Fund Day at Fenway Park, Archbishop of Boston Richard Cushing stood on the field with Williams as Ted was honored for his efforts to help fight childhood cancer. Four days later, on September 28, the Red Sox faced Baltimore in their last home game of the season. In the eighth inning, Williams stepped to the plate against Baltimore starter Jack Fisher and hammered the third pitch he saw into the Red Sox bullpen for his 521st career home run. It was Williams' final career at-bat.
Though Red Sox fans expected Ted Williams to end his outstanding career on the final weekend of the 1960 regular season in New York, Williams privately told the team that he preferred to conclude his career in Boston. On a cold and damp Wednesday afternoon on September 28, Williams labored mightily to end with a flourish before just 10,454 fans. A deep drive off the slugger's bat in the fifth inning went a long way, but the heavy air knocked the ball down and kept it in the park. With the Red Sox trailing 4-2 in the eighth inning, Williams stepped into the batter's box against Baltimore starter Jack Fisher. On Fisher's third pitch, the Splendid Splinter hammered the ball into the Red Sox bullpen for a home run in his final major league at-bat.
The Fenway Park crowd stood and cheered hoping that Williams would tip his hat, but the Red Sox left fielder couldn't do something he had refused to do for the last 20 years. He crossed home with his head down and disappeared into the dugout. Manager Pinky Higgins sent Williams out to left field to start the ninth but quickly replaced him with Carroll Hardy before the inning started. This switch provided Williams with one last opportunity to tip his cap but again he refused and jogged into the dugout for the last time.
Williams only collected 310 at-bats in 1960 but he finished his prolific career in style thanks to a lofty 1.096 OPS. He also hit 29 home runs - one per 10.7 at bats - in his farewell season.
As part of the 1960 Mayor's Charity Field Day at Fenway Park, Eddie Pellagrini's Major League All-Stars were scheduled to play a team of Greater Boston College All-Stars. In spite of a heavy rain, the field day was still held but the baseball game was cancelled. In August, two William Randolph Hearst Sandlot tournament games were held, with Bob Guindon and Mike Ryan taking home MVP honors in the first contest. The next day, Tony Conigliaro and Walt Hriniak played for the Record All-Stars team.

*For many years, the City of Boston regularly held a summertime Mayor's Charity Field Day. Many of these field days took place at Fenway Park, with a variety of sports, games, activities and other amusements for the crowds. In certain years, the Mayor's Charity Field Day even included an abbreviated baseball game at Fenway Park that was usually played between local teams.
In August 1960, a group of Jehovah's Witnesses assembled at Fenway Park for a four-day Bible research and training assembly. August 14, the fourth and final day of activities, drew the largest crowd, with 28,468 people in attendance according to the Boston Globe. In October, a pair of local football clubs played a relatively low-scoring game.

Here we have a square LED clock kit. Square not because it's so much more interesting than circular, but because there is no way I could have designed it to fit in 60 LEDs going around the circumference of a circle inscribed in a 5 cm square, it was a very close thing as it was, with it going around the perimeter of a square of length L=5 cm, 4*L distance, without it being only pi*L in length. This time, it comes with a tiny, tiny 5 cm (1.95 inch) board. Sure, it's bigger than a wristwatch display, but it's pretty darned small for fitting 89 normal sized LEDs on it, and a full-sized DIP chip, and the other components. At this size, it does not have room for an alarm speaker. It is thus the revision of the clock which does not contain an alarm. Another thing this board does not have, by necessity, is a voltage regulator. Consider this a project for someone who is starting out powering the thing from a more regulated power supply. The chip works with anything from 3 to 6 volts DC, it's not TTL, but still, you wouldn't want to directly give it the output of an unregulated transformer-rectifier nominally putting out 9 or 12 or 15 volts DC. But it does have 2 advantages over the version with the alarm in exchange - be sure to read the long second-to-last paragraph for an explanation of them. But in addition to saving me a speaker in the kit, it was also less expensive to have the circuit boards made for me because they are smaller, and so the price is less on this one. Other than the lack of an alarm feature, it is much the same type of clock which is shown here, it's just that this time it comes with an actual board! And no alarm. The first version of the program, written in 2002, before the alarm was added to it in 2003. It's cramped as it is, trying to fit in room for a speaker would be impossible. But you get some extra other features in exchange for not having an alarm. Read the long 2nd to last paragraph to find out about them.
Other clock kits with boards (more expensive):
Circular ring (3.9 inch board) (click here)Zig-zag ring (3.9 inch board) (click here)Infinity (1.95 x 3.9 inch board) (click here)Tiny 5 cm square ring (1.95 inch board) (you are here)Dice clock (1.95 x 3.9 inch board) (click here)
Other clock kits without boards (less expensive, but in some ways better because the board is less personal and rather small):
The same type of clock as this but with an alarm and without the green board (click here)The dice clock (click here)
The green board you see there is a square which is 1.95 inches on a side. Click on the picture to see it big, and use the left and right arrow keys to move around.First of all, I want to make 2 things clear:1. You are not buying the clock in the picture. That one is my demonstration piece. It took me too long to solder together for me to throw around that with a 20 or even 30 dollar pricetag. That would be half minimum wage or less. It took long enough just to get the components together to make the kit.2. You are buying a kit. You get 90 LEDs (one spare), a programmed microcontroller, resistors, capacitors, a crystal, etcetera, a circuit board, and an information sheet on specifics you'll need to get it right. This does NOT include a power supply. You need to give it 3 to 6 volts DC from somewhere. You also need a soldering iron and solder.
By the way, there are 2 completely different versions of the program, one which controls a "AM" LED which is on in the morning and a "PM" LED which is on in the evening, and a different version which controls only the PM LED, which is off in the morning. If you only want one LED to denote AM/PM, you can't use the version that controls them both, because it will turn on other LEDs when it tries to turn on the AM LED which won't be there. Please tell me which version you want or I will choose for you.A demonstration of the version of this clock with the alarm can be seen here (make sure to be patient when downloading this, and make sure to have some kind of pop-up ad killer in place: mediafire will definitely zap you if you don't):
It is not only a clock but a calendar too. You give it the year modulo 4, the month, the day in month, the day in week, hour, minute, second. Press one of the 2 buttons to get it to show you the date (the 5th picture shows this - it displays the date March 1 - today as of when I wrote this), where the 12 hours represent the month and the minutes/seconds represents the day in the month. All LEDs flash 11 times per second. That really gets your attention, and epileptics beware. The ring of 60 LEDs shows you the minutes AND the seconds. The seconds flash twice a second on top of the 11 cycle per second flashing. Also they advance one per second. It also automatically adjusts for daylight saving time as it is right now in the US. So beware if you're in a place that doesn't do daylight/standard transitions or does it at a different time. When you first turn it on, it also asks you if you want it to run clockwise or counterclockwise (as if flashing 11 times a second wasn't trippy enough) and then it asks you for a "fudge factor" to make it more precisely keep time. I threw it in there because I found the 32768 Hz crystals aren't particularly accurate. It's a parameter that starts at 1:59 (no adjustment) and has 240 possible values and is shown by the times 12:00 through 3:59. Each one forward adds 1/8192 of a second to the clock every 15 seconds. What it amounts to is that each one makes it get faster by 4.921875 seconds per week. In other words, if you ran it for a week and it got 2 minutes slow with this starting parameter set to "1:59", you could turn it off and back on and set it to "2:23" at the beginning, and then it will get 1.875 seconds slow every week. The version with the alarm has neither of these features, where you can make it go clockwise or counterclockwise, or this settable time accuracy calibration parameter, so those are advantages that only this version without the alarm have. To see a demonstration of this version of the clock, without the alarm (it's a big clock, made by hand on a big slab of cardboard and not a 5 cm machine-made circuit board, but aside from being before the addition where you get to choose whether it's clockwise or counterclockwise, it behaves the same as the program on the microcontroller in this kit), watch this:

There is as yet no word on when or if the remaining eight unaired episodes of Don't Trust the B will air. This move comes after ABC briefly aired extra, out-of-sequence episodes of both comedies on Sunday from 10-11PM, before yanking them off the schedule due to low ratings.

Wayland SIFE team brings home gold
PLAINVIEW – The Students in Free Enterprise team from Wayland Baptist University swept its opponents yesterday at the SIFE regional competition held in Dallas. The win advances the WBU team to the 2005 National Competition slated for May 22-24 in Kansas City, Mo.
The regional competition is a chance for the SIFE teams to showcase the projects they've completed during the school year. SIFE teams create economic opportunities in their communities by organizing outreach projects that teach market economics, entrepreneurship, personal financial success skills and business ethics. Projects are judged on creativity, innovation and effectiveness, requiring advance research and measurement by team members.
This is the second consecutive regional championship for Wayland SIFE, which is in its third year of existence. This is the first time Wayland SIFE has won individual top competitions which are awarded for outstanding projects in the four categories.
The WBU SIFE team completed 38 projects in Plainview and surrounding communities which impacted persons ranging in age from elementary school students to senior adults. SIFE students gave a combined 2,017 volunteer hours to these projects, ranging from computer literacy classes conducted in cooperation with the Plainview and Lockney school systems to "Free Enterprise Moments," a series of public service announcements aired on radio stations reaching 25,000 square miles of West Texas. Wayland SIFE students also designed an online membership survey for the Plainview Chamber of Commerce, taught college students how to invest for retirement and conducted mock interviews and resume reviews for graduating seniors at three area high schools.
WBU Assistant Executive Vice President Bobby Hall said this year's experience has been a rewarding one.
"The voluntary commitment of these students, who are among the best Wayland has to offer and are involved in many different levels of university life, is remarkable," Hall said. "SIFE is the most demanding and rewarding student organization that I have had personal involvement with. The competition is keen and our students were flawless in their delivery."
Wayland's SIFE team is led by Hall and Sam Van Hoose, assistant professor of management information systems. The team includes Bryan Anderson, Will Barnes, Amber Barrera, Kay Burge, Priscilla Edwards, JoAnn Holloway, Kim McCasland, Jason Morgan, Rosa Maria Padilla, Ragan Spradling, Tyler Topper and Chad Whisenant.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Citigroup announced it will cut 11,000 jobs as part of plan to cut costs, the first major initiative from the bank's new CEO, Michael Corbat.
The bank will also take a $1 billion pre-tax charge during the fourth quarter, and approximately $100 million in related charges during the first half of 2013 as part of the plan, which is expected to save $900 million in in 2013 and more than $1.1 billion annually beginning in 2014.
"These actions are logical next steps in Citi's transformation," said Corbat, who took the help after former CEO Vikram Pandit stunned investors when he announced his immediate departure in mid-October. "While we are committed to — and our strategy continues to leverage — our unparalleled global network and footprint, we have identified areas and products where our scale does not provide for meaningful returns."
The bank's streamlining plans will impact about 1,900 jobs in the institutional clients group and 6,200 positions in the global consumer banking division, which includes scaling back operations in Pakistan, Paraguay, Romania, Turkey and Uruguay. Citi said it will also close some of its bank branches in Brazil, Hong Kong, Hungary, Korea and United States.
The bank will also eliminate 350 positions from Citi Holdings, while the remaining jobs reductions will be in the company's operations and technology division and global positions.
The total reductions impact about 4% of Citigroup's workforce, which stood at 261,000 full-time employees at the end of September.
Shares of Citigroup were up about 4% in early trading. Other bank stocks, including Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley were also up sharply.

After how I did last week, picking incorrectly in both semifinals in the Central and Eastern Division, I'm pretty sure no one wants the endorsement of this blog. But they are going to get it.
Colton at Rancho Verde
The Yellowjackets played an instant classic last week to get to their first final in 29 years, outpointing Cajon 42-41 in overtime on Randy Valdez's leaping 35-yard, 3rd-and-20 touchdown reception. But Colton has itself a task in front of it. Rancho Verde seems to be beating all of the ghosts of its previous playoff flameouts into submission, scoring 161 points in three games coming into this one. I think Colton will test the Mustangs for a while, but Rancho Verde is a bit too deep for the Yellowjackets.
Rancho Verde 35, Colton 21
Summit at Elsinore
Besides Yucca Valley's first-round victory over Aquinas in the East Valley Division, Elsinore's victory at Kaiser last week might have been the biggest surprise of the playoffs to date. Summit's win at Serrano last week wasn't shocking, but it was an impressive upset. Can Summit hold up to Elsinore's physicality and make some big plays with Devon Blackmon and Montigo Alford. I'm going yes. I'll take the SkyHawks to win the school's first-ever CIF title in any sport.
Summit 28, Elsinore 22
Paraclete 35, Sierra Canyon 30
Vista Murrieta at Corona Centennial
These teams aren't in our coverage area, but this game should be a dandy. The Inland Valley's best pushed these two top seeds hard last week, with Rancho Cucamonga taking Vista Murrieta to overtime before falling 35-28 and Chino Hills entering the fourth quarter only down 28-23 to top-seeded Centennial before losing 42-23. I was at the Chino Hills-Centennial game last week and was extremely impressed by Centennial's fearless, quick-strike offense. They'll be too much for the Broncos in my opinion.
Centennial 48, Vista Murrieta 27

Palestine Liberation Organization
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), coordinating council for Palestinian organizations, founded (1964) by Egypt and the Arab League and initially controlled by Egypt. Composed of various guerrilla groups and political factions, the PLO is dominated by Al Fatah, the largest group, whose leader, Yasir Arafat, was chairman of the PLO from 1969 to 2004 and established Palestinian control over the organization. Other groups in the PLO include the Syrian-backed As Saiqa and the Marxist-oriented Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
The PLO was initially committed to the dissolution of Israel, mainly through the use of armed force. Since its founding, the organization has sponsored innumerable guerrilla raids on Israeli civilian and military targets. although it has disclaimed responsibility for many of the Palestinian movement's more spectacular acts of terror. In 1974 the PLO received UN recognition, and a government in exile was recognized by Arab nations as a basis for a future Palestinian state, to be formed from land regained from Israel along the west bank of the Jordan River. In 1976 the PLO was granted full membership in the Arab League.
In 1982 the PLO was weakened when, after the Israeli siege of Beirut, Lebanon (see Arab-Israeli Wars), PLO guerrillas in West Beirut were dispersed to other Arab countries. In 1988 the PLO responded to the Palestinian uprising, or Intifada, in the West Bank and Gaza Strip by proclaiming the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. The PLO also equivocally recognized Israel's right to exist and renounced terrorism.
In 1991 the Lebanese army, with Syrian backing, forced the PLO out of its strongholds in S Lebanon, and PLO relations with the West deteriorated because of PLO support of Iraq in the Persian Gulf War. In 1993, a peace agreement between the PLO and Israel was reached providing for mutual recognition and a transition to a degree of Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In 1994, Arafat appointed an interim 19-member Palestinian Authority (PA), under his direction, to administer Palestinian affairs in the areas of self-rule; the Palestinian Authority has since become independent of the PLO. Under a 1995 accord, self-rule was extended over a two-year period to all major Arab cities and villages in the West Bank, except East Jerusalem.
Arafat was elected president of the Palestinian-controlled territory in 1996. In the same year the PLO formally revoked all clauses in its founding charter that called for the dissolution of Israel, and Arafat pledged to fight terrorism. Agreements in the late 1990s gradually increased the area of the West Bank under Palestinian control, but violence resumed in 2000 after further negotiations with Israel stalled. Following Arafat's death in 2004, Mahmoud Abbas succeeded him as PLO chairman and in 2005 as Palestinian president. In the Palestinian legislative council elections in 2006, Hamas won a majority of the seats in a victory that in part was a rejection of the corruption and failures associated with the PLO. Subsequently there was fighting between Al Fatah and Hamas forces in 2006 and 2007, and when Hamas seized control in Gaza in June, 2007, Abbas dismissed the Hamas-led government, accusing it of an attempted coup. Attempts since then to establish a national unity government including both Al Fatah and Hamas have been unsuccessful, and tensions between the two continued. In 2017 negotiations led to a preliminary deal between Hamas and Al Fatah to return the Gaza Strip to PA control, but progress on the agreement subsequently stalled.

The Sox executive told me he's pretty sure the 25-man roster for 2010 is complete.
"I think at this point of the offseason, you're looking at more free agents than trades," Williams said. "That probably means we're beyond [looking at any deals], and there are other teams still talking about some things, but I would doubt it. "
And Kenny downplayed the Ozzie Guillen-Bobby Jenks exchanges:
"Open and honest comments have been inflammatory as they've come out to the public, but it's really men being men, and Ozzie and I being ourselves," he said. "It's about us being honest with our guys first,and honest with you guys and the public second. We had many, many instances where we had differences with our players, and then the next day it's over and done with, and back to business as usual."

Potential New York Senate candidate Harold Ford Jr—the conservative former Tennessee congressman boasting the lengthy anti-gay record who now says he is pro-gay rights—has been invited to speak next Wednesday at the Stonewall Democratic Club in New York City. Ford is in for a "rude awakening", reports Elizabeth Benjamin at the Daily News.
Junior will have a lot of explaining to do. After voting twice for Bush's odious Federal Marriage Amendment, voting against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), voting against needle exchanges, voting against extending hate crime protections to gays and lesbians and voting against gay adoptions, Ford left Congress in 2006 with a "25" (out of 100) rating from the Human Rights Campaign. The former congressman now claims to have supported "civil unions" since he was "elected to Congress in 1996" ... but there is no record of Ford publicly expressing support for civil unions until after his retirement in 2007.
Gay activists in New York City are already mobilizing a protest against Ford's address, reports OnTopMag. "Seventy people have already accepted a Facebook invitation from New York-based gay rights group The Power to protest Ford's appearance. 'Stop this anti-gay candidate fromrunning for Senate in New York,' the group Crash Harold Ford, Jr.'s Address to Stonewall Democrats NYC says."

Surely one amongst the Best Indicators To Use For 60 Sec Trading methods found on computer network.opzionibinarie60.com, that's the foremost authoritative italian methods web site of binary choices, is that the retest on Bollinger bands with ADX indicator. This strategy shows a series of spectacular achievements. Let's see the way to use it.
Click Here to Download A NEW Trading Tool and Strategy For FREE
You should initial analyse a Japanese holder chart with time frame of sixty seconds (m1). Then you wish to pick associate plus, and associate thereto the bollinger bands 20-2 front-weighted. currently you want to add the ADX generator. At this time it ought to be expected that the extent of the worth goes to create a retest on bollinger bands and invest to rebound with a maturity of a hundred and twenty seconds. So, if the extent of the worth touches the lower Bollinger Band you may invest upward (call, up), and once it touches the band bollinger higher you've got to speculate downward (put, down).
But what will the ADX indicator? it's wont to delimit the world wherever we will trade. Since we have a tendency to square measure craving for a cross-market, it's necessary that the ADX is below thirty, ideally below twenty. within the pictures shown below you'll see the unimaginable range of successes you'll get in one mercantilism section of roughly three hours. It's extremely spectacular to examine the results of applying this strategy daily.

'67 Chevy
One Step at a Time
If youre a Chevy truck fanatic, or even a part-time truck enthusiast, youve likely noticed how 67 to 72 Chevy trucks have exploded in popularityespecially among owners who build and modify their toys. And why not? Enough trucks are around to keep prices affordable (theyre the right age, too), and tons of quality parts are also available. When the work is complete, they can look very good. With that said, its no accident that Rick Dyer chose a 67 Chevy C-10 as his project vehicleone that, as it sits finished, can be described as awesome. Starting with something straight only helps matters, but, as Rick learned, it takes vision and dedication to see your project through to completion.
A resident of Science Hill, Kentucky, Rick was inspired while checking out the competitive show trucks featured in various magazines. Although he hadnt previously built a truck, he was ready for a new challenge. After collecting his thoughts, carefully contemplating his ideas, and visualizing his goals, Rick found himself neck deep in grime during a three-year endeavor that now can be described as exceptional.
This tasteful truck begins with the prize located under the hood. Having previously built a 76 Corvette, Ricks no newcomer to Chevy high-performance. Corvette engines must have grown on him, because his first act was replacing the trucks stock motor with a 93 Chevy LT-1. The LT-1s reputation for quality, power, and reliability cannot be overstated, and, along with Street Performance valve covers and Hooker headers, this trucks engine compartment slowly became a treasure chest of performance partsa package that has been dyno-tested at 347 hp.
Once the powertrain was established, only minor changes to the chassis and suspension were made. Chassis Tech dropped spindles improved the stance, while Rick fabricated adjustable trailing arms for the rearend. Stock tubular A-arms were replaced to accommodate the front and rear Firestone airbags, which also contribute to the trucks lower stance. Traction is courtesy of BFGoodrich Radial TAs mounted on 17-inch Billet Specialties Vision wheels. To ensure confident stops, Rick installed disc brakes at the corners.
At this point, many folks would be at the mercy of their paint and body shop. Rick, who possesses no professional prep and painting experience, rose to the task and revealed some very impressive skillsnot to mention a certain amount of perfectionism. After mulling over paint possibilities, he selected GM Fleet Red, a color that not only complements the classic body, it captures the attention of anyone who comes within a half-mile. Picking the right color, Rick reports, was a lucky guess and the most difficult aspect of building the truck. (What color to paint is often a builders most difficult decision.) The fact that Ricks truck retains its original side-trim improves the visual statement.
As it stands, Dyers truck is a testament to the abilities of its creator. He has this advice for those who wish to undertake a similar project, Visualize what you want thoroughly before you begin. Then take things one step at a time. Ricks vision, dedication, and talent, plus plenty of effort, have resulted in an exceptional vehicle that performs in all departments. Its a classic with modifications that add to its timeless beauty and style.

Lesson 9: Allah's Omniscience More knowledge - more benefit?
Mighty and powerful bulldozers which are used in building, and which have various important uses, testify to the knowledge of their designer and manufacturers. We must agree that the inventor was very well acquainted with the laws of mechanics the various alloys of metals and the formula of physics. All that is made by man reflects the intelligence and knowledge of its maker. The better and more efficient the product the wider and more complete the knowledge of its maker.
Something beyond compare
The grandeur and mystery of creation cannot be compared to a bulldozer or other man-made artifacts. The infinite details seen in the beings and objects of the universe indicate the unlimited knowledge of God. Let us examine the following:
1. Newton said that a study of the components of the ear and the eye would lead us to understand that the maker of the ear was thoroughly acquainted with the laws of acoustics, and that the maker of the eye was thoroughly acquainted with the laws of light and vision. A study of the heavenly bodies, he said, would lead us to understand the Truth, which governs the universe.
2. The physiology of the bat is full of amazing things. In order to be able to find its way in the dark without running into obstacles, the animal sends out ultrasonic waves in front of itself rather like radar. If there is an obstacle in the way the sound waves reach it and are reflected back, and thus the bat can steer clear of the obstacle.
3. Although insects are very small, they are very delicate and wonderful in their structure. For example, some of them, instead of eyes with one lens, have compound eyes made up of individual visual units called ommatids every one of which has three parts: a cornea, a lens and a retina.
The number of ommatids varies between trisects. Glow-worms have about 2,500, but in others there can be between 10,000 and 28,000. Because insects cannot rotate their heads, they can be permitted, by these compound eyes, to see things, which happen, beside them or behind them.
The above examples show that the creator of the world undertook His creation in His perfect wisdom and infinite knowledge.
Does God know all the things after He has created them? And the answer is, yes, of course He does. God knows about things, whatever their place and whenever they happen. He is aware of the shining of the furthest star in the highest heaven.
The tempestuousness of the foaming blue waves breaking on the furthest shores of the ocean, of the most mysterious hollows of the most remote valleys in the folds of the mountains of the rustling of even one leaf in the gentle breeze. He is aware of the doleful coo of the owl in the deepest silence of tile forest. He is also aware of the flicker of the glow-worm among the leaves, of the innumerable fish with their infinite colors and variety in all the waters of the world. He is aware, of the birth of the fawn of the honey-colored gazelle, in the depths of the forest. He is aware, of the falling of the clear, pearly dewdrop from the petal of the half-opened rosebud, in the recess of the rocks. He knows the height of the mountains, the covering of the sky, the expanse of the lands and the seas and the treasures of the mines, the hidden depths of the caves and of all and everything.
How beautiful is the word of God!
He knows what is in the land and sea; not a leaf falls, but He knows it. Not a grain in the earths shadows, Not a thing, fresh or withered, but it is in a Book Manifest. (ch. 6. V. 59)
The evidence of God's knowledge
He who creates and gives existence is aware of His creation and always attends to it, in the same way, as we are not unaware of the forms we create in our own imaginations. As long as we wish them to exist, they remain in our minds, but when we turn our attention away from them, they cease to exist. If you imagine a person, you are necessarily aware of all his movements and his resting. His actions are never hidden from your mind, because this imaginary person is your creation, that is, he was not in your mind before you thought of him, and you brought him into you mind by your imagination.
God, who created the world and all of creation, whose existence comes from Him, oversees it all and is never unaware of it. There is a great difference between us who imagine various forms in our minds and God, who created the universe. We ourselves depend on God for our existence, and our existence comes from Him. However, God is independent of all things and has given existence to all things. It is for this reason that He is called the real creator.
The difference between Creator and Maker
The maker of the computer is not the creator and did not give it its existence; his only skill was that he gave a new form to what was already in existence. He was not aware of the computations and the information that will be stored in it in the future.
Similarly, other inventors, discoverers and artisans are not informed of all the minutiae of the movements and resting of what they have made, because they have not given existence to them, they have not brought them from non-existence into existence.
The raw materials were already in existence in the world. Only, by analyzing and constructing, they have changed their form. Take the case of the airplane, which is made from raw materials in mines, which were extracted, smelted and forged and made into the finished product.
Clearly, then, the makers did not create what they made; they only changed the form of the materials. For this reason they are not permanently aware of their artifacts, and one cannot, therefore, properly call them creators. If, in some cases they have to be called creators, they have only been called so figuratively, not literally.
But God, Who has given existence to all things, is always aware and knowledgeable of their, actions, because He is the real and true creator. The Holy Qur'an says:
"Shall He not know who created?" (67:14)
Now we have understood that we, ourselves and all the creatures of this world are not separated from the glorious presence of God. Wherever we are, and to whatever land we travel, in the depths of the oceans, in the outer reaches of space, in the narrow places of the valleys, we are not hidden from Him. He sees the smallest of our good or bad deeds, and rewards and punishes accordingly.
Can someone who knows God and believes in Him fall prey to sin?
1. What type of things indicates the ultimate knowledge of God?
2. The maker of the car was familiar with the laws of acoustics?

The Google+ team is pumping out feature upon feature, making the service a go-to for video conferencing.
That said, you can only call one person at a time, but, come one, most everyone is going to be in a hotspot and using their phone's camera anyway, right?
Google Voice is plugged into G+ functionality, apparently, and it's another step in a Google-Only approach to connectivity and utility on the web.
U.S. & World
Remember, it was not terribly long ago that Google Docs was folded into the G+ folder, too.
Here's what the G+ team unleashed on its blog:
To dial in someone:
- When you're in a hangout, click on the "Invite" button and then on the "+telephone" link.
- Enter the number you want to dial, and hit "Add." (Note: You can only call one number at a time. Dialing a second phone number will replace the existing call.)

The Deer Park at Martin's Haven, near Marloes, which overlooks the point of embarkation for pleasure boats taking visitors out to Skomer Island or round Grassholm, is a favourite grandstand for bird and seal watching.
Separated from the mainland by a deep ravine, It is almost an island, and its name is somewhat misleading since it is not recorded that any deer ever populated it and the terrain does not seem capable of sustaining any.
It was intended as a embellishment of the nearby Edwardes estate, from which family the wealthy Kensington dynasty stemmed, and who built St Brides Castle. The Edwardes also had a large mansion at Sealyham where one of the family bred the famous Sealyham Terrier, designed specifically for hunting badgers. The Kensingtons also owned large and valuable estates in London, notably Kensington, where Pembrokeshire names like Edwardes Square and Marloes Road reflect places in their Welsh estate.
The Deer Park has a flourishing seal colony and many visitors use the viewing point on the high western cliffs to watch seals and their pups on the inaccessible pebbly beaches in the rocky coves below, Seals are there all year round, and usual oblige observers by popping their sleek heads above water to watch the watchers watching them. October is the best time not only to see them suckling their young but to hear their mournful songs, seemingly in close harmony, wafting up from beneath the cliffs on a cold and windy autumn day.
Choughs nest and feed on the cliffs, which are also the breeding site for gliding fulmars. People unversed in things ornithological can miss seeing the choughs, for they closely resemble their cousins the jackdaws at a distance, except that their calls are more asthmatic and their flight more erratic. At close quarters there can be no mistaking them, for the chough has a vivid red downward-curving beak and orange legs. From the cifftop at Wooltack Point or Anvil Head views of the bird-sanctuary islands Skokholm and Skomer are visible and, on clear days, distant Grassholm and the candy-striped lighthouse on The Smalls rock.
The rocks, cliffs and seascapes all around have been immortalised by a former war artist, who lived at Martin's Haven, first in a caravan and then in a cottage nearby. Ray Howard-Jones, who lived well into her nineties, was an eccentric lady who haunted the area, in summer clad in the briefest bikini, her skin tanned to a mahogany hue. With her partner, the London artist David Jones, she also lived on Skomer for long periods, and the two thought nothing of clambering up and down the cliffs, finding their subjects, which included a virtual bestiary of animal-shaped rocks. Ray Howard-Jones lived very basically in the cottage once owned by the last Skomer farmer Reuben Codd. Her table was an orange box and she shared her food with the mice that were her only companions. Many of her paintings - including the mice sharing her plate - are on display in Tenby Museum.
