Mumbai remembers 26/11 victims four years on
Mumbai: Mumbai paused in its busy tracks on Monday to remember the 166 people who fell to the indiscriminate bullets of 10 Pakistani terrorists during a 60-hour siege, India's most wounding terrorist attack, that began this day four years ago.
Brief commemoration events were held at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, Oberoi Trident, Leopold Cafe and Nariman House, some of Mumbai's most loved landmarks that were targeted by the 10 terrorists who sneaked into Mumbai on the night of November 26, 2008 through the Arabian Sea route and landed at Colaba.
The main function to remember martyrs and victims of the terror strike was held at the Mumbai Police Gymkhana where a permanent 26/11 memorial has been erected.
Maharashtra Governor K. Sankaranarayanan, Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar and union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde laid wreaths and offered their homage at the memorial.

Badgers Pull Away From Panthers In Season Opener
Nov. 14, 2013
MILWAUKEE - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's basketball team could not build on a solid first-half effort in its season opener, allowing the University of Wisconsin to pull away after halftime in recording an 85-60 victory Thursday night at the Klotsche Center.
The Panthers (0-1) battled the Badgers (2-0) tightly through the first 25 minutes of the contest, but a 16-2 scoring run by the visitors decided the contest.
"I thought we came out in the first half and did everything that we had in our game plan," UWM head coach Kyle Rechlicz said. "We attacked them first and really had the energy that we needed to win the game in the first half. I believe it was a tale of two halves - if we can consistently play like we did in the first half, we have a chance to really make a run in our conference this year. If we play like we did in the second half, it could be a really long season."
Senior Angela Rodriguez led Milwaukee with 18 points. Freshman Bre'Zall Warren was the only other player in double-figures with 11 in her collegiate debut.
"This is a growing game for us - it was our first game of the season," Rechlicz said. "I thought that it was excellent that we were able to get some really good minutes from our freshmen and see them really step up in big situations. And Angela was Angela. She played another great game for us and really led us at the point guard position. The ball is going to be in her hands a lot this year, so we need her to continue to step up."
Five players netted double-figures for Wisconsin, led by 21 from Michala Johnson and a double-double of 14 points and 13 rebounds by Jacki Gulczynski. Taylor Wurtz also had a double-double for the Badgers, finishing with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Freshman Christina Wakeman also had a solid debut for UWM, finishing with nine points and seven rebounds in just 16 minutes of playing time.
The Panthers came out of the gates strong, scoring the first five points and nine of the first 11 to lead, 9-2, on a layup by sophomore Avyanna Young at the 16:02 mark.
Back-and-forth for a bit, the Panthers still held a 14-7 lead on a three-pointer by Warren at the 13:13 mark before the Badgers would turn the tide. Eight points in a row as part of a 12-2 scoring run gave UW its first lead, which it built to a 19-16 cushion on a Johnson hoop with just over five minutes to play in the first half.
The Panthers found themselves down by six at 28-22, but scored six in a row to tie it up before a UW three at the buzzer gave the visitors a 32-28 lead at the break. After trading baskets for the first five minutes of the second half, Wisconsin started its decisive run courtesy of three-straight possessions that each netted three points. A pair of and-one shots with a three pointer in between started the surge and it was all Wisconsin from there. The lead grew to 18 after the run and UWM could get no closer than 15 the rest of the way.
For the game, Milwaukee shot 33.3 percent from the floor and never got its potent three-point attack going. The team made just 3-of-16 attempts from long range, but held its own on the boards with UW holding a slim 52-46 edge. The Badgers finished at 45.2 percent from the floor for the contest.
Junior Janna Swopshire chipped in with six points and six rebounds for UWM, with Young contributing eight points and a team-high nine rebounds. The third freshman on the roster, Sydney Snower, had three points and two rebounds as well.
The Panthers remain at home, welcoming Western Illinois to the Klotsche Center Sunday. Tip time is set for 2 p.m.

CHICAGO — Educators in Los Angeles just signed a new deal with the city's school district. So, too, did teachers in Boston. Both require performance evaluations based in part on how well students succeed, a system that's making its debut in Cleveland.
So what's the problem in Chicago, where 25,000 teachers in the nation's third-largest district have responded to an impatient mayor's demand that teacher evaluations be tied to student performance by walking off the job for the first time in 25 years?Subscribe to Read!

BONNERS FERRY, Idaho.—A small group of students at Bonner's Ferry High School are building robots and using them in the classroom.
The robots allow the Absolute Zero science club to build machines and even design computer code used by the International Space Station.
Their work was recently put to the test at MIT, where members of the club pitted their code against other schools across the nation. The codes were used by astronauts at the ISS.
Their teacher, Ed Katz, says the group is gaining experience not many students get to have.

PAT Mission Statement:
"Working together with families to ensure that young children are competent, self-assured, and ready for school!"
Parents as Teachers
The Parents as Teachers (PAT) Program is a free service that is offered to families in Berrien County who are pregnant or have children under the age of three. The first three years of a child's life are ESSENTIAL for laying a strong and positive foundation in all areas of their lives - education, health, behavior, and relationships. Because those first few years are so important, parents are a child's FIRST and MOST INFLUENTIAL teachers!
PAT offers two types of services:
Personal Home Visits and Group Connections
Personal Home Visits are an opportunity to receive information that is individualized to your child and family. A Certified Parent Educator would visit you at your home and bring information and activity ideas specific for your young child's age and development. The visits usually last about one hour and can occur weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Visits are an opportunity for parents to look closely at their child's development, enhance the ways they promote their child's learning, problem-solve any of the usual parenting concerns that arise, and increase their confidence that they are providing a strong and positive foundation for their child's learning. If you are interested in hearing more about PAT Personal Home Visits, please either fill out the on-line referal form or call Kerenda Applebey at 269-471-7725, ext. 1330.
Group Connections are playgroups and events offered throughout the year to provide families opportunities to make connections with other families. All Group Connections are free and registration is not required. Listed below are the Group Connections we offer.
Read, Play, & Learn Playgroups
Playgroups are offered during the school year at 15 different locations throughout Berrien County each month. You do NOT have to register or sign-up to attend these groups. You also do NOT have to be enrolled in PAT (receiving Personal Home Visits) to attend.
The playgroups are a chance for parents with young children (infants - age 5) to get together with other parents and young children and have some fun! Each month we choose a children's book as the theme for the playgroup activities. At the beginning of the group, the story is read during circie time. Then parents can play together with their children through a variety of activities. At the end of the group, every family gets a copy of the book to take home and enjoy over and over again. Each group also has a parenting education topic and additional information is available on that topic for parents to take home. Here is this month's schedule, or you can sign up to receive email updates and calendars.
The Read-Around-the-County is an outdoor story hour for preschoolers, their parents, and daycare providers. Bring a blanket and find a cozy place to sit. and listen to a variety of stories read by community leaders and costumed characters that will move from group to group. Families are welcome to bring a picnic lunch, a snack and water will be provided. Each family will receive a free book.
- This event will take place in two locations:
- St. Joseph Lake Bluff Park (across from the Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library)
Tuesday, May 13, 2014 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Niles Riverfront Park (by the amphitheater)
Wednesday, May 14, 2014 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

This family fun Holiday Open-House features preschool activities, that include: sensory play, gross motor games, an art project, and the "snow drift". Children will also enjoy snacks and stories with Santa and Mrs. Claus! Each family will receive a gift book.
- December 9, 2014 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Berrien RESA 711 St. Joseph Avenue Berrien Springs MI

Just something I tossed together in AutoCAD for an online game I'm running. Forgive the lack of detail.
Printable View
Just something I tossed together in AutoCAD for an online game I'm running. Forgive the lack of detail.
Nothing wrong with simple - sometimes it's all you need.
Easy enough to bring into graphic editor of your choice and pretty up with a bit of effort if you chose to.
I like the layout of the chapel. Personally, I often favour the simple maps over the over-detailed maps (which are fine in their own way - don't get me wrong). A simple map tends to spark my imagination much more than one with every little detail spelled out, but I'm funny that way. ;) Do you plan on rendering this map with Google Sketchup?
Thanks Turgenev!
If I can find time I'll see what I can do, my Sketchup skills are sadly rather weak compared to what I can do in CAD, though I could do 3D CAD... hmmm
Tried to see how the same kind of map would look like with the tools I used before, but I used a metric template and a have an 1m grid instead of the 5' one. Sorry, it is my mistake :)
Sorry for just copying your content (and adjusting where it was important) and not coming up with something original, but I thought this way I could show some of the differences between tools and also I could offer some feedback about your maps.
Attachment 9315
As you see this image is more like a simple handout, no grid or anything like that. As you can see I done some very quick draft sp the stairs aren't that nice. But tried to answer something.
When I seen your draft, I asked: People who go "upstaris", how they leave stairs? One of the sofas seems to be in the way, and the other one would be in the way of the people who try to use it. Right now, you see how I would try to fix it. of course, if you would make the 2nd part of stairs 1 square wide, it would be easier to make enough space for everything.
I think I should have made my stairs even longer (and a bit more narrow).
But the real difference is visible on the 2nd map.
Attachment 9316
It is easier to see the difference between grid lines and the walls! I think most CAD programs could do something like this :)
I have used Microsoft Visio to make these maps, but I am sure the same thing is possible with both Campaing Cartographer (Symbol set 3?) if you want more artistic apperance, and any kind of CAD program that can be used to design floorplans.
I think both Microsoft Visio and Campaign Cartographer can be easy to use if you are used to CAD software (and the rest of the office suite if we speak about Visio). And Visio seems to be affordable (and part of the office family).
Hmmm...never even considered Visio for this - great idea!
For modern day gaming it is very good. Why?
If a company in real world would use Visio for some floorplans, site plans, etc. why wouldn't a company in a "modern day earth" setting (Like World of Darkness, etc) use something else? And if they would use Visio for floorplans, how could you represent a Visio drawing with a handout?
By using a Visio drawing.
If you don't add a background or grid, but make it look like "real" floor plan, and print it on a few sheets (luckily I have a printer that can handle up to A3+ in size), that can be a perfect handout.
Add a few buttons on it, a background, etc? It can look like they found the floorplan on a web site.
And you can have many options, and it is easy to copy / paste, to offer different sheets / drawings for different kinds of handout.
If you play online (virtual tabletop, etc), and want to show the handout as "part of a program" or something interactive: Save as Web Site is a valuable tool you will love.
Wow... that's quite impressive. Mine is just a 'stick drawing' (all lines) but you have definitely developed it quite nicely.
As for the upstairs you're quite right I should shorten 'long' pew and shift both down 1 square. But as the place is an abandoned chapel its not overly important as my would be heroes are going to move things about a bit.
Only place I'd change yours is the steps leading to the pulpit, as the pulpit (to me) should be centered towards bottom right corner and generally square up the pulpit area. It actually has a secret stair case leading down (shhh don't tell my players!) to an area which was previously where the church kept important records and such.
Pulpit can be placed elsewhere.
If you see it on my version of map, I didn't have to make any pew short, I just moved them a bit.
As you can guess: in this floorplan stairs are one source of problems. If we can keep the 1 m grid, I would redesign the place a bit. I will post an updated version :)
Here it is:

A mom got two life sentences for killing her kids this week in what is simultaneously the best and worst news of the week. The worst, of course, because Kelli Murphy murdered her two children in cold blood. Two children are gone in an act that's completely senseless. But as the family of little Liam and Madigan Murphy said in a statement to the media, the jurors did their job here.
Kelli Murphy could have been convicted of reckless manslaughter. She could have gotten off with just parole. Instead, we were reminded this week by a Colorado court that children matter, that their lives have as much value as an adult's.
Murphy was instead found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree murder by a person in a position of trust. The mother who strangled her 9- and 6-year-old children so her soon-to-be ex-husband wouldn't get custody will spend the rest of her life in prison, the result of two consecutive life sentences handed down by the courts this week.
This can't erase the tragedy of two children being murdered by their own mother. But there's something to be said for justice here.
Two children are dead. For a mother to have the hubris to expect probation when she did the deed is unthinkable. I hate to bring out the "real mother" card here, but I'm going to. A real mother would be so angry at herself for such a crime that she'd want more punishment, not less.
That alone speaks to success in that courtroom.
And there's more. There's the fact that the sentence is indicative of the way a person will be treated for doing something so heinous to children. We don't brush it under the rug because, hey now, motherhood is tough and blah, blah, blah.
Kelli Murphy may have wanted the jury to care about her and how prison would affect her life, but the rights of her poor kids won out here. Two life sentences for this woman is just about right, don't you think?
What do you think of the sentence for Kelli Murphy?

A "real mother" would not have even killed her children in the first place. I am glad she gets to spend the rest of her life in prison with nothing but thinking about what she did.
This is just awful! She does not deserve to be called a mother anymore. No mother kills their own children! and for what, so her ex doesn't get custody! ridiculous! What were those poor children thinking when she was strangling them, where they looking right in her eyes at their moment of death? How can she kill one, then still have the strength to go and kill the other?! Awful, AWFUL, AWFUL. Rot in hell!
She may get free room and board in prison, but she'll have to be segregated from the rest of the female inmates. If they find out she murdered her children, they'll rip her hair out. She will die in prison completely alone. To me, that is a good punishment but it won't bring back her innocent children.
i guess the saying is true "i bought them in this world, and i can take them out". so so so so sad. i had issues with my kids father trying to get custody. not once the idea of killing my kids went through my head. ppls keep an open mind, she might go for insanity. this is coming from a person with a mental disability. i have bipolar disorder type I. so i really don't wanna hear the her mental statues made her do it. so that just keeps the stigma going instead of stopping the stigma. i hate it when ppls blame it on their issues.

I'm Not Okay, I Promise0 Reviews
Down hill from here
"Mom?" I said walking into the kitchen. One arm still wrapped around Helena's waist, the other holding what was left of my bloody school shirt. "Mom?" I shouted again; typical, the one time I need something, she isn't here. "Okay, um... wait in my room, and I'll get some bandaids" I started for the stairs but noticed she hadn't moved. "Where's you room?" she looked so innocent at that moment, so breakable. "Oh, yeah! Straight down those stairs" I pointed to my bedroom door, it rocked having a basement bedroom. She shrugged, still holding her injured hand she walked the way I told her to go. Right so bandaids, bandaids... Bandaids! I grabbed a handful from the cabinet and sprinted down the stairs, two at a time. I ran down the stairs to my room where Helena waited for me. But she wasn't sat on the bed as I thought she would be; in the darkest corner, cramped between the wall and desk, she sat cradling herself. "Hey" I whispered, sitting on the edge of my bed "I got the bandaids if you want them" Best to let her take her time, not to rush her. I began sorting through the handful of supplies I'd grabbed; her dancer's step was difficult to hear over the quiet crackle of the wrappers, yet her head on my shoulder didn't startle me. I turned, taking her sticky blood stained hand in mine. "Now, tell me if it's too tight ok?" she nodded, a torn expression in her eyes I couldn't understand.
I'd tried to be as quick as I could bandaging her hand, so the time afterwards was... tense. She sat cradling herself in the middle of my bed, one side of her spattered in blood from the waist down. Whereas I was sat shirtless, due to the fact I'd used it on her hand; we were both sat alone, in an empty house, on my bed. Of course that started the daydreaming... not the time or place for that I reminded myself. The silence was piercing, every inch of my body had electric running through it. The quiet stabbed like daggers.
"Aren't you going to shout at me?" she asked confusion clear in her voice. "Why?" I asked over my shoulder, we'd kept eye contact to a minimum. "For being the stupid little girl I am. For even thinking of... for trying to hurt myself?" I stayed quiet for amoment; if I said she was stupid for thinking of hurting herself, of trying to escape, wouldn't that make me a hypocrite? "Nope" another awkward silence."Why?"
"'cause I kinda understand where you're coming from, I guess" it was true, I did know what she was going through, more than she knew.
Her arms slowly wound around my neck. "Thank you" she whispered kissing my cheek. I couldn't help but turn, our lips almost meeting; should I, shouldn't I?
I didn't need to decide. Her lips met mine; slow and serious.
My lips moved to her neck, her skin burned under my touch. Thank God we were alone. I'd probably die of embarrassment if we were found like this; our naked bodies intertwined, her hands knotted in my hair... pretty compromising if you saw the whole picture."Hey Gee, can I..." God I hadn't even heard the door open over our breathing. My cheeks burned. I couldn't pull on my trousers to get up and lock the door; they were somewhere on the floor with Helena's clothes. I pulled my lips from her neck. "Give me a minute..." I mumbled, moving my lips back to hers. 'How'd this happen?' I thought to myself, holding her body closer to mine. A cough; was Mikey still in the room? "What?" why didn't he just leave already. "Um... sorry but Mom's gonna be home soon and you're... just hurry up and get dressed" Crap Mom!
"I'm so sorry" I repeated over and over again as I did the fly on my jeans. She just giggled; what was so funny? Mom would kill me if she found out. "WHERE THE HELLS MY SHIRT!?" I shouted running my hands through my hair. She burst into laughter; was she bipolar or something, one minute she was gonna slit her wrists the next thing...
I turned around; she was still sat on my bed. Her face practically glowing. "Helena, babes. My Mom's home soon and she will kill us if she finds out ok?" she pouted, god she was hot "please".
"Gee!" Mikey's voice echoed down to my room; he was getting a bit annoying today. Kissing Helena once more I ran up the stairs: Mikey stood holding the phone out a guilty look on his face "what?" I mouthed, taking the phone from Mikey's hand. "Hello?"
"Hey, baby" Mom, crap"listen I'm running late today. Will you and Mikey be ok on your own tonight?" Running late? And not coming home tonight? Today seemed to be my lucky break. "Sure"
Placing the phone down on the table I stared into empty space. "Um... Gee? What did Mom say?" Mikey bowed his head to look at me; damn being shorter, I was older I should be the tallest.
"She's gonna be home late" he seemed to think there was more to my reluctance, "that was it". He just shrugged and walked up to his room.
"Gee!" My name echoed from the basement; I'd kinda forgotten about Helena still being here. Isighed.
"I'm making coffee, who wants one?" my voice echoed around the house.
"ME!" the voices came from both directions. Yay!
After that first attempt Helena carried on trying to hurt herself; she jumped from her bedroom window twice; knocking herself unconscious the first time and breaking her foot the second, and so many times after that. The booze didn't numb my pain anymore; the aching for her pain, dragging me slowly to the end. No the booze wasn't enough, I turned to the pills. So calming, like a tranquilizer to some animal. They were so very sweet to me; whispering sweet thoughts, connecting my two torn parts together. Maybe Helena was right, maybe the only way to cope was through death.

This week, a Romanian design house broke the World Record when it debuted an almost 2 mile long bridal train.
To put that in perspective, as mentioned in Yahoo Shine "News", that's roughly the width of Manhattan. It would take an aisle the size of 4 football fields for a bride to actually wear the dress.
Think about that! That is several hundred feet longer than the Golden Gate Bridge, the length of over 9 Eiffel Towers and almost 2 miles worth of part of the Grand Canyon. Sounds great… until of course you trip on it, fall on your face, break your nose, stain the gown with blood and have to spend your honeymoon with two black eyes.

Spray tanning is the perfect accessory for your wedding. It means you can spend less money on your dress, since no one will notice it anyways. It's a great backup in case there's a power outage and you need a glowing entity to light the way. And it'll make your wedding night wild, since your fiance has an Oompa Loopa fetish.
And is turned on by Orangutans.

From the time Babylonia (yes, Babylonia) Aivaz was a little girl, she dreamed of the beautiful wedding she'd have with a building. Yesterday, that dream came true. Family, friends and neighbors were supportive of this warehouse-on-woman relationship. Though they do have their doubts on how long the relationship will last, because the warehouse is 107 years old and is about to be torn down to make room for condos.
Babylonia refused to find a new fiance. She didn't want a younger building in her life, she wanted HER warehouse, because when you know, you just know. Though they moved fast (they just met last month), she couldn't help but fall in love with this community space. She pictured the years they'd spend together, raising babies and/or bungalows, and having a wonderful life together.
Of course the mother-of-the-bride, aka the city of Seattle, tried to run the wedding its way. They've already torn down parts of the warehouse. Babylonia however, said it didn't matter. Her betrothed was as beautiful as ever.
Babylonia wore a beautiful white gown with headband-style veil and the warehouse wore drywall and brick, with a traditional roof. The two will be honeymooning in a scrap yard.

When I got engaged, I had a thunder stealing coworker. We'll call her Schmennifer - because her real name was Jennifer. She went from congratulating me, to planning her own wedding.
Schmennifer: "Are you going to have a photo booth?"
Me: "I don't know yet…"
Schmennifer: "Chocolate fountain? Live doves? Petting zoo?"
Me: "Umm…"
Schmennifer: "When I get married, I'm going to have an ice sculpture and a 12 piece string quartet. Did you get that link to the Vera Wang dress I'm getting?"
Me: "It's beautiful. So are you seeing someone?"
Schmennifer: "No, but might as well plan now so I don't have to skimp… no offense."
I wasn't offended by her continuous one-upping me with a pretend wedding, because my real wedding was between me and my fiance (and, sigh - our mothers). But then one particularly rainy Monday, she got super bitchy.
Schmennifer: "Your ring is dull because it's white gold. I only wear platinum."
I'd had it, "Bitch, back off!" Only it was just in my head. I never actually got the nerve to stand up for myself, because Schmennifer was hit by a car that very night.*
I planned my wedding without listening to any of Schmennifer's jealous advice. And I felt bad, not because she wasn't engaged, but because if she ever does get engaged, some poor sap will have to deal with her for the rest of his life.
* Unfortunately only in my dreams.

Less than a month later, Aretha Franklin is calling off her engagement to her hilariously named fiance, William "Willie" Wilkerson. In a press release she said the reason was because they were moving too fast.
What? At 69 years old, how is anything moving too fast for you Aretha? And no offense, moving… moving at all, could do you some good. Maybe you should think twice before ending things. We were all so looking forward to seeing you in whatever ridiculous wedding gown you chose.

Not wow related but since you got me thinking about it :P
Fringe freakin rocks, finale opens up for a ton of mind boggling things come season 4.
I cant understand how Fox could even think about canceling it. Its a funny, well written, with great acting and best of all it makes you think. (guess that alot of the people who watch it get turned off because they dont like using their brain when watching TV)
Its like that kid in class who is different from everyone else, but also smarter than anyone else. Theres so much more i could'a wrote about what makes Fringe so great.
To me, its a masterpiece
jishdefish said...
I was going to say something witty about Fox cancelling Sci Fi shows, but I won't because they seem to be improving.
Let's recap:
Sliders: First season with marred continuity caused by airing episodes out of order, so-so second season, main writers were fired for the crap lets-rip-off-of-horror-movies third season. Cancelled, redeemed slightly by SciFi Channel for seasons 4 & 5.
Firefly: First and only season marred by airing episodes out-of-order and constantly switching air times and dates. Cancelled, picked up by Universal for a movie deal.
Sarah Connor Chronicles: Cancelled on its second season. Continuity respected and preserved.
Dollhouse: Cancelled on its second season. Continuity respected and preserved.
Fringe: Lasts four seasons. Continuity respected and preserved.
It seems like Fox Network is improving over time. I still mourn Firefly though, and hope Science channel decides to make new episodes seeing as how the reruns are one of their top shows right now.

Keeping cows in adequate body condition is key in maintaining breed-back times. Reproductive efficiency is directly correlated to cow body condition.
The main reproductive problem is failure of the cow to return to estrus or "heat." Body condition scoring of cows will help determine if they are at an adequate nutrition level. Cows within the correct range of body condition are most likely to return to estrus in a timely fashion and breed back early in the breeding season.
Body condition scoring is an ongoing process, as body condition cannot be changed overnight. Beef cows are assigned a numerical value between 1 and 9 for body condition. A cow with a score of 1 is severely thin and a 9 is obese. Cows should be in body condition 5 or 6 going into breeding season.
Cows require around 1.25% of their body weight in protein. They will consume 2% to 4% of their weight in forage. Poor-quality forages leave cows needing more protein but exhibiting lower consumption rates. Quality-test hay to ensure adequate nutrition.
Feed efficiency and frame size. Bigger is not always better in regard to the size of your cows. The most important number to the producer is the relationship of cost to pounds weaned by the herd.
One way to evaluate cow efficiency is to look at the ratio of calf weaning weight to cow body weight. A cow should be able wean a calf that is 50% of her weight. To compare, calves from smaller mature-size cows need to weigh 500 lb. and calves from larger-framed cows need to weigh 750 lb. The 1,500-lb. cow must wean a calf 50% bigger to break even with her 1,000-lb. counterpart.
Producers have to ask themselves if a herd of 30 cows that weigh 1,000 lb. will wean more weight than a herd of 20 1,500-lb. cows.
I also urge you to weigh your cows. Many producers think they have 1,000-lb. to 1,200-lb. cows, but when they put them on a scale find they weigh over 1,500 lb.

Quick facts about Echoing Green:
• founded by Joey Belville in 1992
• based in Albuquerque, NM
• 12 full-length releases under their belt since 1994
• toured the country extensively (over 500+ shows since 1995) as well as the European festival circuit.
• have had a strong internet presence since 1995 and have enjoyed one of the most devoted underground followings in the history of American synthpop.
• got their start in the Christian music scene and garnered a Dove Award nomination for "Best Rhythmic Song" in 1998.
• Joey received "Producer of the Year" award from the New Mexico Music Industry Coalition in 2002
The Echoing Green has going through many phases since 1994. Joey & Co. have always tried to push the envelopes of electronic music - from minimal synthpop, to industrial rock, to techno/trance, to downtempo - all the while remaining consistent in their diversity.
Joey feels their newest album, The Winter of Our Discontent, is their most important release to date.
"I fell in love with my machines again on this album. With the exception of one song, this is a guitarless record. The goal this time was not making danceable music, although some songs definitely fall in to that category, it was about making textural and emotional music... and I think we succeeded in making an artistically, yet technically beautiful record."
"I never thought I would say this - but I'm completely virtual now. Both Reason and ReCycle have played a pivotal part in the making and writing of this record. M-Audio have raised a bar in pro-audio that I think will be hard for other companies to match. It's obvious that their main priorities are product innovation and customer satisfaction. From the Tampa, to Reason, to the Radium controller, to the Delta series of I/O cards, to the BX monitors - I'm blown away. I'm an M-Audio freak."

Dubai Duty Free has been an extremely generous supporter of Smile Train since 2008. In 2009, Dubai Duty Free announced a donation of $1.5 million to be used over a three-year period at Smile Train partner centers in the Philippines. The funds are being used to recruit additional staff, purchase vehicles and equipment, and to perform 3,800 cleft surgeries. Without the support of Dubai Duty Free, Smile Train's program in the Philippines would not be what it is today.

LOST 6.7: The Magic Word
- Thursday, March 18, 2010
Greetings, Loyal Reader. As you know by now, loyalty was a big theme in this week's episode, and I intend to test yours just like Flocke and Widmore tested Sawyer's. I write to you from vacation this week, from not having had a chance to watch Pop-Up LOST of last week's episode, and from only one viewing of "Recon" before posting this blog (usually I watch an episode twice before writing these recaps). So I'll probably sound a little dumber than usual and be a little more scattered this week. Please forgive. If Smokey's willing to let stabs in the chest go, can you do less?
When first we met new-2004 Side-Verse Sawyer in the season premier, he was one grinning dude. Recommending to Hurley not to flash his cash around… helping Kate escape airport security (so, knowing now that he's a cop, how does this sit with you?). We even wondered if he might not have lived the same tortured past. Alas, he did, and it's what pushed him to police work, where he would be ideally placed to research the whereabouts of the original Sawyer. It doesn't appear as if he ever assumed this man's pseudonym. What I want to know is if he ever wrote his letter. I think I'm leaning towards no, as I'm starting to doubt whether Jacob ever touched any of our Losties (or presented them with a pen and the encouragement to keep writing) in this timeline.
There are, of course, two meanings of the episode's title, "Recon" for us to consider. The first obviously refers to the fake job Flocke gives Sawyer in going to
Same: James Ford knows cons; works in a close partnership with Miles; their jobs involve "security;" he makes good use of the word "LaFleur" (gotta admit, though, this whole scene seemed contrived and all-too-Hollywood (making it all the more appropriate that this word shows up on Sawyer's coffee mug later); he is searching for the man who killed his parents; he has the same tortured past; he brings a sunflower to a woman
Different: James Ford is a cop instead of a con man; he knows the name of the man he's looking for is Anthony Cooper; he hooks up with a very-hot Charlotte (who else thought / was hoping it would be Juliet?) in another scene that was all-too-easy and all-too-Hollywood; I didn't notice any direct references to Miles having any dead-communing powers, except that Miles makes a point to remind Sawyer how he can always tell him the truth (because he knows when people are lying, like he did the first time he met Michael on the freighter?).
There wasn't too much else I got out of this timeline other than noting greater (more black-and-white, if you will) extremes of timeline sames-and-differents. Nice to see
Little House on the Prairie. What was weird for me is when Sawyer sat down to watch TV I didn't question this show being on, as if I was still assuming Sawyer was living in 1977 when he was happy and when this show was in its prime. Except he's not. It's 2004. How is it that James Ford's television is set to a channel where reruns of old shows like this come on? Does it have anything to do with his past? Is he stuck watching the shows that young James liked when his childhood was unfairly and cruelly ended with two gunshots? What's more, good ol' Michael Landon says things that not only comfort Sawyer about perhaps seeing his dead loves ones again someday, they quite possibly serve to tell us that we are going to see our favorite LOST characters some day on the other side (we've long discussed the sub-theme of "sides," too). The words are enough to remind James to get busy living and trying to make things right with
Then of course our 2004 story ended with Kate being on the run, and captured by Sawyer, who recognizes her from 815 and the airport. Their paths cross yet again. And we wonder again at why policeman Sawyer would have so nonchalantly helped this woman escape federal Marshals and airport security.
Speaking of Kate, I thought of her most of this past week in relation to something I wrote about Richard last week:
Richard did indeed arrive on the Black Rock. In fact, he hasn't been back to that ship in all the time he's been on the island (must have some bad memories associated with it?). As speculated several postings ago, Richard was once in chains on that ship, and this would appear to be confirmed by the way he walks right up to a set of shackles and has a moment of reflection and recognizance. Of course, you don't usually chain up good and innocent men, so one has to wonder about Richard's past, and wait patiently for the Richard-centric episode we all have been anticipating for so long.
Where I was busy last week comparing how Jack and Richard had switched places, I was ignoring how similarly Richard Alpert and Kate Austen came to the island. Both strike me as good people chained up for perhaps-misunderstood or justified wrongdoings. We know that both were touched by Jacob, but also, that despite this touching neither has - as far as we know - been marked as a candidate. Jacob's touch turned Richard into not a candidate but an unaging advisor. If you continue the parallel, you could argue that this will then be Kate's fate as well. She is quite possibly the next Richard.
That is, considering she survives the assault we all know is coming from Claire. How did you interpret Claire's hand-hold of Kate just as Flocke is explaining how the Black Smoke killed everyone who failed to leave the
And sure enough, she tries, as Blankface Sayid just looks on, doing nothing. She gets her knife to Kate's throat before Flocke pulls her off and speaks to her about her "inappropriate" actions. Ask my wife, I hate this word "inappropriate." It smacks of someone who isn't your parent acting like your parent. And that's how it sounded to me here as well. Not so much like Flocke sees himself as Claire's daddy (though he probably has some traces of that left from times he assumed the form of Christian), but maybe more that he sees Claire as a child. It could be that the "sickness" has the effect of causing one to break with reality in a way that takes you back to a more childlike state of mind. Consider what we saw in this episode: Claire plays with dolls, holds people's hands, shows intense swings of emotion. Sayid views violence without acting to further or prevent it. Sawyer watches TV programs from his traumatic childhood.
We got a hint from Ben last week that "it's about the kids," and here, sure enough, EVEN THE MAN IN BLACK bares a wounded soul when confiding in Kate about how he had an unnecessarily crazy mother, one who warped his soul, and now Aaron (very key and creepy Aaron reference if you ask me) also has a crazy mother. I assume he was referring to Claire, though I couldn't be 100% sure of that. Allowing myself to think that he might just be talking about Carole Littleton gave me even more creepy vibes, knowing that's who Aaron is currently with. Either way, this brought straight to mind the "prophecy" of not letting Aaron be "raised by another." That damage would seem to have been done. Aaron's now on his third mom, and if he ever makes it back to either or both of his first two mommies, they're probably not going to just be one big happy family. Flocke seems to suggest that he and Aaron already therefore have a kinship. This is really giving me more weird Antichrist feelings every episode. I do hope I'm way off. But back to Flocke pulling Claire off of Kate - my main question in the entire episode was why it was okay for him to wipe out Jacob's bodyguards at the statue and the folks who remained at the Temple (Dogen was dead; sure this is the fact that allowed him to enter, but it's also the reason he could have just walked away. Not like anyone else there was any threat to him any longer), but it's not okay for Claire or anyone else to do any killing. Is it because he knows Kate has been touched by Jacob, so he needs to come up with a reason to give Claire because he knows that's a rule that can't be broken (maybe the same reason he didn't/couldn't kill Richard?). I never bought for a second his whole "kill-or-be-killed, and I don't want to be killed" explanation (how DO you kill him anyway? Stab him with sacred knife before he can speak? Seems like you could live a long time and find ways to prevent that), nor did I find any logic whatsoever to his reasoning of "I gave people a chance to join me, when they didn't, they obviously deserved squishing." He says Sawyer is the best liar he ever saw. I'm going with the takes-one-to-know-one theory on this, Mr. Father of Lies.
I said I hope I'm wrong about any Damien/Omen type theories about Aaron. Not like it hasn't happened before, me being wrong. Just last week I rejoiced over having nailed Dr. Linus's bent toward Napoleon and Machiavelli, so this week I must do the reverse and mention how wrong I was in assuming in multiple past recaps that Jin had joined the Dark Side. And I love that the reason I am wrong boils down to the one factor that is the real and true wildcard in all major stories, the one anomaly that can not be explained in the Matrix, the one weakness that Voldemort can not foresee in the Harry Potter series, and the one inexplicability that atheistic philosophies can not account for: love. Jin's love for Sun gives him purpose beyond joining any side or group that doesn't have as it's main objective the reunification of those who belong together but have been split apart. Good for him.
When Sawyer gets to Hydra Island, we get an answer about what happened to the remaining Ajira 316 survivors who were not: Flashed out to 1977 (Hurley, Jack, Kate, Sayid), part of our group that traveled to the main island (Ben, Sun, Lapidus), part of Jacob's crew of bodyguards (Ilana, Bram, their cronies), already killed (Cesar). I mean, there were others on that plane as well. What happened to them? Well, they were unimportant to the plot, see, and a great inconvenice / plot hole to leave sitting there, so… I know - the Smoke Monster crept over to that island at some point when he wasn't killing people on the main island and squished them all into jelly. Or not. Really, we don't know what happened, since the only story we get on this is from new character Zoe (I understand that this introduction of what was seemingly another tangential character with so little time left frustrated many of you), who turns out to simply be one of Charles Widmore's soldiers. Did Widmore's group perhaps kill the 316 survivors and tell Sawyer a tale that they knew would cause him to think of Smokey?
What side is Widmore on anyway? We can still make a case for any of the following:
Jacob's Side: Jacob told Hurley he was trying to bring someone to the island; Widmore would seem to suggest to Sawyer (without actually saying so, Sawyer just assumes) that he wants to fight it out with Smokey; Widmore had previously told Locke that if Locke did not return to the island, the wrong side would win (well, Locke DIDN'T return to the island); Widmore's crew set up an anti-Smokey Sonic Fence Jr. kit.
Smokey's Side: See that last point about what Widmore told Locke. Perhaps instead, Widmore knew that Locke had to die, and that Locke needed to return to the island DEAD… or the wrong side would win; Widmore has been associated with Abaddon (angel of death); Widmore has shown up with a vehicle of transport, and MIB's primary goal is getting off the island.
His Own Side: I like this one least of all, because I don't like this 3-sidedness, even though I admit I think the story, just like Myst, will come down to a third choice of choosing to believe neither of the warring "brothers," but instead trust to a third possibility that neither of them are any good and they both are lying. I also have an idea that the theology of the show may just be set up to take us into philosophical territory "Beyond Good and Evil" (apologies to Nietzsche) where another choice becomes clear in a rejection of what had previously been considered the only two; the one scene I did catch of the previous week's Pop-Up LOST told us that "Widmore will do anything in his power to possess the island."
We know that Widmore has something under heavy guard, lock-and-key on his sub. What could it be? Another big MacGuffin or Deus Ex Machina, no doubt? Some doomsday device? We've already seen a nuclear warhead and a cargo hold full of C-4 and an island station with more poison gas than I've been experiencing during this Man-Cation in a mansion filled with 14 dudes who have eaten too much steak and bean dip. Please tell me this new WMD is going to be cooler and more original than any of those. Similarly, something has been bugging me about Flocke for a long time that I never could put my finger on until my astute co-worker Kelly Good mentioned it in a Facebook posting yesterday - why does Flocke carry that backpack everywhere? What could he possibly have in it? What does he possibly need? Survival gear? He's a SMOKE MONSTER (something he even comes clear about to Sawyer, though not entirely to the rest of his followers). Oh, and about those followers…
Last week, I pondered the following:
Flocke's group is hanging out on
This week we were presented with some more material on which to build theories to answer these questions. We are reminded both directly and indirectly that there are now two mass-transport vehicles over on Hydra - a submarine and an airplane (good luck getting that plane turned around in the sand and fueled up and directed down that jungle runway). Oh, and Sawyer's escape plan? Kate reminds him he can't fly the plane… oh, but he can pilot a sub? Now, I do love the mirroring of how Locke once blew up the sub, but now, the weirdo in his skin is likely going to attempt to steal it to get his way off the island… but I still can't fathom what he's going to do when and if he succeeds. Go into business? Reunite with his family? Come on. At least the reason for needing followers to get off the island is perhaps becoming more clear - that is, he's probably going to have to fight his way off through Team Jacob and Team Widmore. So a few pawns, maybe a rook and a bishop too, will come in handy.
This Flocke character sure drones on and on about protecting people, even little Zach and Emma (lose the Teddy Bear, Zach), and giving people answers, though he really never does much. He gives more truth than we've been accustomed to, but it's often half or three-quarters truth, and it's usually only spoken with an aim to motivate people to certain behaviors, understandings, or tasks. I question his loyalty despite (because of?) his ongoing pledges of it. In a show where we explored loyalty (Jin to Sun, Sawyer and Miles as cop partners, Widmore to the island, Smokey to his followers, Sawyer - as always - to no side but himself and maybe his friends (like Kate, who he might be thinking fondly of again after finding her old delicious sun dress in their Love Cage)), there is also disloyalty, which is usually a punishable offense. But we also must consider what is going on when individuals or groups give off the perception of loyalty to a group, cause, or system of beliefs. Perception of loyalty usually boils down to one thing: Selfishness. Personal motives that actually stand opposed to the best interests of the group to which you are pledging or offering fealty.
The most interesting part of the episode for me was the idea that the MIB has a mother. Ummmm… okay… Well, let's say for a second he does. He has, after all, told us he's a man. A mother assumes a father. It also suggests the possibility of siblings. Is Jacob perhaps his brother? Did they perhaps have different mothers? Are they perhaps less like Jacob & Esau of biblical fame, and more like Jacob's father Isaac and his half-brother Ishmael, whose mother Hagar was cast out by Isaac's mother Sarah? The enmity between these two Sons of Abraham continues to this day in the conflicts between Jews and Muslims. Or is the connection to MIB's mother more mythological? I think back to the time Ben went to be judged in the caverns below the
Until then, the magic word is LaFleur (lit. the Flower).

My husband and I made this with some fresh asparagus from the local farmer's market. It was fabulous. We love to make asparagus, and this was one of the best that we've ever made. The lemon flavor isn't overpowering, but brightens the flavors.

Stirring in the lemon juice and thyme right at the end gives an incredible fresh pop of both! Beautiful lemon flavor, creamy risotto, and tender asparagus. A very nice harbinger of spring.

I didn't have the rice, so tried with orzo pasta. It worked out great. Just skip the second step where you microwave the rice before adding the broth.
EllenDeller Posted: 06/19/13
This is so delicious--my favorite risotto recipe of all time. I've made it several times with parmesan and tonight substituted goat cheese--even more luscious. This one is fantastic! Served with white wine, an orange & red onion salad and a turkey Italian sausage.

January Tax Collections Fall Short
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee Finance Commissioner Larry Martin said the state's overall tax collections fell below budgeted expectations in January.
The commissioner said in a news release on Wednesday that collections were $52 million less than the state budgeted.
State sales tax collections grew by 5 percent in January, but state revenues still fell short of predictions because of another poor month of corporate tax collections.
Franchise and excise taxes came in at $49 million below estimates in January, which reflects economic activity in the previous month.
Corporate taxes have come in $207 million below projections through the first six months of the budget year, accounting for nearly all of the $220 million shortfall in the state's general fund.

We volley with sketchy returns
each moment of empathy mirrored
in cough or laugh,
toothy smile or nod
to prod hundreds of
muscles in chase,
scrambling for that
elusive reciprocal
that binds us in effort,
a hiccup of reactive
responses contrary
to conscience or will
to fill yawning mendacity
while locking journeys
in mutual discord
behind the mask
of ordinary compassion
banishing inner calm.

marry me1 Reviews
ryan asks camryn to marry him :)
we decided to go see a movie. all the movies looked good but we finally chose TMNT. we had to be kids again at least for 2 hours :) me and him were the only two in there so we had a popcorn fight. i felt sorry for the people who had to clean up our mess. we stopped by dairy queen on the way back and i got a strawberry shortcake blizzard. as we walked back eating our ice-cream goodness, we told eachother about the past two months. he told me he took tons of pictures and that he'd get them developed later so i could see them. we finally got back to the bus and it was empty. "looks like everyone left" i said to derek turning around to find him gone. 'great, make me looke stupid, talking to myself' i thought. i walked on the bus and heard something coming from the back. i walked back there but i didn't see anything or anyone. i turned around and there was ryan. "oh geez ryan! give me a heart attack" i said grabbing my heart. "aww babe i didn't mean to" he said hugging me. "where's everyone at" i asked sitting on the couch. "they decided to go out to eat" he said sitting next to me. "and what about derek" "he went with them, duh" "ok, no need to get an attitude" i started to tickle him. "oh no fair camryn! you know i'm ticklish" he said squirming under my touch. "i know, that's why i'm doing it" he somehow got a hold of my arms and held them over my head with one arm while he stroked my sides with the other. "oh kinky. i like the way you think mr. ross" i said winking. "marry me." "what?" i asked shocked. he got off me and got on one knee. "i love you camryn. i want to spend the rest of my life with you and only you. i want to have lots of babies with you. i want to grow old with you. will you marry me" he looked like he was gonna be sick. "uhh, umm...OF COURSE I WILL!" i said jumping on him and knocking him flat on his back. "i love you ryan ross. and there's no one else in the world i would rather be with. besides james dean but he's dead" i said laughing. "way to kill the moment cam" he said kissing me, leading to a huuuge make out session.
the others got back a couple of hours later. "what'd she say" brendon asked bounding onto the bus. i held my hand out and showed him the ring. "SHE SAID YES!!" he yelled to others as they got on the bus. "omg camryn, we gotta start planning a wedding!" kk screamed, grabbing mine and danny's hands and dragged us to her laptop. "i can't believe it. my baby sister is getting married and having a baby" pete said. "mom and dad always thought you would first" derek said, earning a punch from pete. "haha very funny little bro" with that, all the guys decided to play mario kart.
(later that night around 2)
"geez those guys just don't know when to stop" ryan said coming to bed. "are they still playing" i asked, snuggling into him. "yeah, they'll be at that for a while" he said putting his arms around me. "so i was thinking. i don't really want a big wedding. just close friends and family. and maybe we could have it towards the end of october. it's the end of july so that would give us about 3 months to plan it" i said, hoping he would say yes. "sure, whatever you want. as long as i get married to you, i don't care what we do" he kissed my lips and we went to sleep.
whoo! chapter 9 is done :)) what'd you think?

I bought a used Cummins truck and just sold it this past year...it was in great shape when I bought it and I feel when I sold it in was in better than good shape. Sure people can neglect them but they are really robust....and not that big a deal to service...my local HVAC commercial guy took care of me if I had a cooling problem....which I did once in 3 years.
I had more problems with mix than I did with the truck when it gets down to it. If the inside is neglected....yes stay away....then likely the soft serve machine was also.

The Habits of Highly Effective Security Awareness Programs
Security culture is essentially defined as how people behave from a security perspective. Do they behave securely out of habit, or do they despise the thought of security? What's your organization's idea of successful security awareness programs? How does your organization's cyber security posture measure up? Chances are the perception of your security awareness program is affecting your security posture. Is the program viewed as an enabler allowing your organization to thrive while maintaining their security? Or is it viewed as an inhibitor, a set or rules and regulations that get in the way of the organization's success?
Security staff and general employees across Fortune 500 companies were surveyed in order to gain information about what makes a cyber security awareness program successful. The results of the survey were compiled into a whitepaper which highlights seven factors which can make your security awareness programs successful.

The story of two brothers martyrs
Gracious, Most Merciful, the Creator of heaven and earth. Blessing and Peace Messenger of Allah, his companions, his family and those who follow him until the Day of Judgment
Assalyamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu with the blessing of land Shama. I wanted to tell the story of our brothers, of which it is difficult to remain silent. And indeed, our Ummah there are heroes and we need to know and remember them. They are the ones with whom we take the example today. The names of those heroes - Abu Asadullah (pictured left) and Abu Ali (pictured right), which influenced the brothers and others have left traces that are difficult to forget. Two siblings were born on the same day, fighting in the way of Allah in a row and were martyred (Insha'Allah) together. When I went to Jihad, the brothers met and fell in love with them so much as whether we all knew each other before long. Let me just brothers, in this story, I will mainly affect the life of Abu Asadullah, because I had to see him and talk more often, though both fell in love during this time. He stood out because on his forehead were marks of obedience to Allah, those traces of prostrations Our Lord to whom he was so anxious.
Best Chef
Abu Asadullah was a cook mojoheadteen. Preparation of this character perfectly and was very worried that it was all done during. He loved brothers the Mujahideen. We - the brothers who lived with him and did not see him to be angry at myself, but have seen him to be angry for the religion of Allah. When the children came from the street and asked for food, he urged the brethren to give them their own hands. I remember his words as he said, "Brother, we have a meal and eat too much, because the Day of Judgment will be responsible for this food which Allah has given to us." He fed the cats around the house, hoping to gain reward from Allah.
Fasting during the day, praying at night
The life of this beautiful mojohead consisted of prayers and fasting. He fasted fasting Daoud, that is, every other day.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best post - post Daud" (Bukhari, Muslim)
Constantly prayed to the last third of the night. Many of the brothers took his example, just started fasting fasting Daoud. And out of his brother Abu Ali. We ask Allah that for every post brother, who took him as an example, he raised his level in Paradise.
Abu Mas'ud narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and salute) said: "Pointing to the good - like the doer of it" (Muslim)
Disobeys the Amir
Allah said Great
"O you who believe! Obey Allah and His Messenger and those in authority among you "
Abu Huraira narrated that the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah and peace) said: "Whoever obeys the Amir, obeys me, and whoever disobeys Amir - disobeys me" (Bukhari, Muslim)
He obeyed the orders in big and small. Here is a simple home primer.Kogda Amir told the brethren that did not go to the kitchen except Abu Asadullah and his assistant, or as needed. When I went into the kitchen, he told me, "Ahhh, I love you and I do not want to keep you from the entrance to the kitchen, but Amir prohibited except when necessary. I brought you up, and you will have to answer before God on Judgment Day.
Humble to the believers
Allah said in the Qur'an: "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and those who are with him are harsh to unbelievers and merciful among themselves"
Ibn Sam'an narrated that the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah and peace) said: "Piety - good temper" (Muslim)
Those who knew him remembered as a gentle attitude toward believers. mojoheadteen were with us not understanding Russian. When we teach them street dialect, he did not like it and said, "Teach them to profit, gentle words"
Attended lectures Said Buryat (rahimahullaah) in the kitchen, and then told us about the life of the companions and Taabi'een.
Best in training
Abu Huraira narrated that the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah and peace) said: "The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but in each (of them) is good" (Muslim)
Despite the fact that he was fasting fasting Daud, he had the power of those exercises in which we could not catch up with him and this is all that training was twice a day, and sometimes three.
One day, Amir said that the surgery will be tomorrow. Abu Asadullah that day was holding the post.Before the morning prayer, he used to eat before the azan. Brother wants to keep the post, I thought, and decided to ask him why you are fasting today because yesterday was the day? His answer surprised me and left a profound mark on my heart
"Ahhh, I want to become a martyr fasting to stand before Allah in this position"
Jabir narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every slave will be resurrected on the fact on which he died" (Muslim)
Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah) said:"Whoever fasts one day in the way of Allah, Allah will alienate his face from the fire for 70 years" (Bukhari, Muslim)
Despite all these qualities Abu Asadullah was not arrogant, on the contrary, he is the one who knew how to humiliate your nafs before the Great Allah. One day, in the bathroom and the toilet was burnt plastic, everything was black room with the smell of smoke. While the brothers decided who will clean it all and chose a few people for the job, he is not saying anything to anyone cleaned the room.
Abu Huraira narrated that the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah and peace) said: "Do not humiliate myself a slave to Allah, except vozvyshet on him" (Muslim)
The last operation
Amir ordered to storm the house at the airport Minnag. The main assault brigade was assigned to Abu Asadullah. He and Abu Ali were fasting on this day. The road to surgery was on the runway. The group had to get a runway through the tall grass, the way took about 4 hours. When the invaders left home to 500 meters, the Emir ordered the attack. Abu Asadullah shared the Jamaat, which consisted of 44 people - 4 group, set the distance between them is 30 meters and 2 meters from the brothers. The assault began. As they approached to a distance of 100 meters, the enemies of Allah opened fire. They fired on them with automatic weapons, machine guns, anti-aircraft installation. The brothers were able to drown out the heavy fire. The entire group scattered. Prior to the intended purpose only got Abu Asadullah with the Mujahideen of 6 people.
Says one of the brothers who were close to him.
"We've seen people who were close to us and thought it was ours, but it was basharovtsy. Brother grabbed one of them and began to ask for the password, but he was silent, then he was shot. Then went to the house where huddled asadovtsy. They lure the brothers shouted, "Ewha (brothers)." Opening the door, the infidels began to shoot, but did not hit him. He fell and dropped his gun. Then, after waiting a little, he took his gun and ran to the first house, but wrong already retreated. From another house, went out one of them, shining lantern and holding a helmet, the mojoheadteen killed him.
Soon, Abu Asadullah with some brothers went to the next house, he noticed a disbeliever on the stairs and headed there with Abu Ali. Infidels threw a grenade, but it has not got to them, and the second fell near them, but they did not hear the sound of its fall, and both fell to the ground. "
The next day, the Syrian news was told that the military airport killed 20 people, including a general.
Four days before the operation, one of the brothers saw Abu Asadullah dream like this brother came to the military training camp and asked him about the coach, he replied: "Abu Asadullah was martyred."Also, several mojoheadteen saw him in a dream that he was martyred. The one who was with him the day of surgery narrated that he said to him: "InshaAllah, Allah will take me today"
We ask Allah the Great, the Mighty, the Merciful, that he introduced him to the gates of Paradise by those who wish it. Also ask Allah that this story was for the edification of the faithful.
O Allah, accept our martyrs!
O Allah, humiliate unbelievers and shirk!
O Allah, glorify Islam and believers!
Blessing and Peace Messenger of Allah, his companions and those who followed them till the Day of Judgment

Good Questions: Modern Storage Beds?
Hi AT,
My bedroom is 11x12 feet, ie small, with a small closet. Do you have any tips for a queen sized bed with drawers underneath in a clean "modern" style without breaking the apartment sized budget?
Thanks, Adda
Email questions & pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to: sf(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com
Link To All Good Questions
Dear Adda,
The best-looking bed-with-drawers we know of is the bamboo John Kelly Tau platform bed, but it's not exactly cheap. (The best price we've seen is $2,209, at USMatttress.com.) A more affordable option is a "Captain's Bed." FoamOrder, which has a showroom in SOMA, makes an unusual one that's Japanese-inspired. It's $780 and can be topped with either a conventional mattress or with tatami mats and a thick futon, a combo that's super comfy if you like a firm bed.
Anyone else?

How about www.flou.com.
They are pricey (like the John Kelly bed, I suspect) BUT this is a company that only make (relatively) stylish storage beds. So they have a heap of designs. Also storage beds that flip up using a hydrolic hinge (so you don't have to struggle). If you have a seriously small bedroom this may be the best bet since there is no clearance to open deep drawers.
Otherwise, you could always make your own flip up bed with a kit. I read about this on the NY site. Search for it there.
I saw a beautiful bed at LIMN by flou that had great storage options, and came with a great sizable pricetag. I think it was copied by EQ3 in the Bossa platform bed, with side storage and a lift mechanism. Not as stylish as flou, but likely much more affordable. EQ3 also has a store in SF SOMA.
Not quite cheap but BLUDOT has a queen bed with storage.
PotteryBarn Teen also has beds with storage for le$$.
I've been looking into all kind of bed solutions for my upcoming move to NY... Here are some storage beds I came across:
My favorite, the Serendipity in White Lacquer from the Door Store.. no price on the website yet, but I called and the full will be $600 and the queen $700. No idea what shipping to the West Coast would be though.
The Door Stoor also has another bed with drawers called the Tranquility.. but at least from the picture the drawers look a bit small.
The Limo bed which you can get at bo concept and a few other places is really sleek and low, and actually seems like a great bargain. It comes in a few different finishes, and you can get it with or without a headboard:
Another bed I really liked was Iris from A2Z furbniture, and has one of those lift mechanisms:
Comcore21 has a lift bed called Lombardia for a little over $800:
Foamorder.com has a few options with both underbed drawers and lift mechanisms. I don't know anyone who has ever bought anything from them, so can't vouch for quality.
Or, you could get any kind of bed and just use underbed drawers.. here are some simple ones from the Container Store:
Hope this helps.
ikea has drawers on casters too. IVAR drawer on casters.
also if you're a DIY-er, Martha Stewart has the same project with instructions on her site. "Under Bed Storage Box" in "Good Things" crafts:
I found a site that sells kits to storage beds. They use the hydrolic lifts. Pretty good deal!!
I had a terrible fiasco involving an order from FoamOrder.com, and I wouldn't advie anyone to deal with them in the future. Awful, incompetent, and rude customer service.
I found one of the most user friendly furniture site on the net http://www.totallyfurniture.com/
with beds and all the stuff you need for your home
the ultimate folding bed:
cool and looks comfy
I visited the site Nili, and I do agree with you it is very "comfy".
Any way, I placed and order for the jewelry armoire that my wife wanted it is the one by powell furniture located in this page:
I also noticed that they are the only ones with these type of jewelry box there are some more out there but they have much more to choose from.
i did a lot of research on storage beds and the best deal i actually found is at wickes furniture. it may not look the nicest but it is the best price with the best storage.
I recently came across one folding bed. So far i think their deal better if not best.
The Tranquility bed from the Door Store looks like it might be the nicest one.
Has anyone seen it? How does the amount of storage compare to that in the storage bed from West Elm and the platform storage bed from Gothic?
I saw a great idea in, I think, the Pottery Barn storage & organization book, if you're handy and so inclined -- the higher your bed, the better:
Get a piece of plywood roughly the size of the space under your bed (allowing for the legs) and screw four castors on each corner. Attach a drawer pull to the front. Whenever you need to access the storage under your bed, you just pull it out - you can store your things in baskets or rubbermaid containers or whatever you like.
Castors have solved many a storage problem in our place.
Try any of the storage beds at Click 4 Beds theres some innovative storage mechanisms in there from the standard pull out drawers to high frames that support loose boxes underneath and some nice gas lift storage beds that make use of the entire space beneath the mattress (the whole bed lifts up)
hope that helps.
