acording hazir imam's 2008 farman and Sir Sultan mohammad sha's book ( islam is relegion of my anccestor) there is no option to compromise our religion.
You will have problems when
You will have problems when your kids grow up and are completely confused about what is faith and what is the Sirat al Mustaqueem. You know that a kid can not have 2 fathers nor 2 religions. You will have to be prepared to loose your children. Are you prepared for that possibility?
Hi. Thanks for your reply.
Hi. Thanks for your reply. It's an extremely difficult situation as I believe she's the right girl for me and I'm the right guy for her. We have a wonderful relationship and it seems like a great shame to throw it all away because of the fact we're different types of Muslims, even though I understand our beliefs and cultures are very different. I'm not ready to loose my kids. It's my biggest concern which is why I haven't yet committed to go further. I wanted to know if there was a way around it so that somehow both faiths could be practiced or if it had been done before and worked out.

I don't know of any case
I don't know of any case where it worked out the way you suggest.
What may work is if she agrees to become Ismailis and that the children also become Ismaili but remember she also has a background and her parents may not agree.
I know of few non-Ismailis marrying Ismailis and converting and their kids are regular in JK and as volunteer. The mother became even more loyal to Hazar Imam than some born Ismailis...
Another case I know is a Sunni girl marrying an Ismaili, within 3 years she was reciting a Qasida in front of the Imam in Montreal and at the next Didar in Toronto, The Imam mentioned in Toronto Farman about the Syrian Qasida he heard from that girl in Montreal.
Thank you for your responses
In Theory if this could work then things may work out but practically I'm not so sure it could.

General Question
Ya Ali Madad , a very close friend of mine just converted out of ismailism unfortunately. On arguing with him he had a couple of questions. I was able to answer few but few of them got me stuck , can you please enlighten me "What is the purpose of Awul Sufra, Nandi and Mehmani, all of which involves money and if a person is poor what is his fault. Thank you very much.
general question
To understand this concept your friend has to go back to time of Prophet Mohamed(SAS) times where these Awal Sufro,Mehmani,Nandi originated. Otherwise his parents never ever tried to teach him Bait ul Ilm.
and he has to understand the Baitul Ilm to understand why our Noor e Paak Khudawind is allowing them till date.
We used to offer such from heart to our beloved Prophet and we cannot stop them now for satisfying whims of others. At time even one date offering was blessed as much as a bunch of dates offered. And what is wrong with this ex Ismaili, when what we accumulate goes to Mowla's good for the world as a whole? We, be rich or poor, will support Him till Day of Judgment. INSHALLAH
Like in all religion, the
Like in all religion, the intention is what counts. If your friend can not understand that concept, there is no use to try to explain to him anything. God is not interested in your money, he decides who will be rich and who will be poor. The only thing God wants is your love and your trust.. neither of which your friend seems to have.

Meaning of a Tasbeeh
YAM Everyone,
I would really appreciate if anyone of you could eleborate the meaning and the significance of the following Tasbeeh which is in Persian (Farsi).
"Ya Rabala Be Garda By Haq e Shah e Mardan"
Moreover, when this tasbeeh to be recited.
Appreciate the answer.
Ya Ali Madad Shah. This excerpt is from an old book, which I am not aware is the same as what you have stated: Ya Rabb Bala Birgada Ba-Haqqe Shahe Marda'n, which I can translate it in English. "O Sustainer Drive Away My Problems, For The Sake Of Maula Ali". Personally, I always recite what Our Beloved Hazar Imam has always guided us that, "When you are in difficulty in a worldy way, for time or work, take your Tasbih, take your Tasbih call: Ya Allah, Ya Mohammed, Ya Ali". Thanks.
The history n meanin of tasbeeh ya rabala be garda
meaning of the above tasbih. Oh Rab remove my calamities in the name of my Master Ali. or O Allah I ask you for your help - please come to my help and I am beseeching you in the name of my Master Ali ! Imam Aga Aly Shah stated that between morning Khane uthapanji and kayamkaranji ghatpath dua if a person is in dire straits and repeats a tasbih of "Ya Raballah be garda, kuwat e parwardigar something ................." 40 times for 40 consecutive days he/she will have that problem solved. This is only to be done when the problem is unsurmountable. For regular problems Ya Aly x 14 and Salwat X 14.
reply to shah
SHAH I dnt know whats the meaning of that tasbih but it was recited in India in jamatkhana when there was heavy rain fall in India

Amina the adopted daughter of Missionary Ghulam Ali Shah
Help me find my relatives
I shall be grateful if I can get some information and contact of Amina the adopted daughter of Missionary Ghulam Ali Shah.
My grandfather Zakir Hussain, left two of his children Safia and Mohsin with missionary Syed Muhammad Shah, the father of Missionary Ghulam Ali Shah, in Hyderabad Sind in 1928. May be Ms. Amina, the adopted daughter of missionary Ghulam Ali Shah knows about my relatives whom we are trying to search since many years.

Mourning for the Ismaili victims in Nairobi
I saw in the newspaper there are innocent Ismaili victims in Nairobi because of the al-Qaeda attack.
I just want to say I mourn with you.
May the Merciful heal your sadness and this sick world we live in.
I am Unitarian Universalist, we respect all faith traditions.
Thanks. Yes so many innocent
Thanks. Yes so many innocent people died there. Two of the kids were my daughters class-mate, the mother of one of them was my wife's friend, all three were lovely persons. My daughter did not sleep the night we got the sad news because she never thought young kids can die and she had a chat with one of her friend with her ipad just a week before her death.
We used to go to Westgate Mall frequently when we lived in Nairobi. We still can not understand why this happened and how people can do this. This is so evil that there is no word strong enough to condemn these terrorists.
Bt we should also recognise that there are good people in this world. many unknown heroes risked their lives to save the people trapped inside the Mall. This barbaric acts of few ended uniting Kenyans of all tribes and also people of all faiths which condemned the act with ONE united voice.
My daughter told me that hundreds of people have given blood to save the victims. She said blood of poor people was given to rich and blood of rich to poor, and blood of Africans to Asians and blood of Asians to Europeans and in this process the unity of mankind was given more importance than the acts of the barbarians. That is the Power of Humanity which is still strong in this sick world.
Information Sharing.
Ijamaluddin zindani from karachi- pakistan, first ever join this web page and find it not only interested but very helpful to our jamat. As Ismaili jamat that is Global jamat and there ismuch mobility trend.
My suggestion is to make more usefull this site that jamat settelled in the different region of the world should share their experience ,opportunities, and some advise about to settelled over their.
For example now many Bohra's brothers are thinking but moving to settelled in different parts of Africa to explore opportunities from pakistan.my email address is : jamalzindani [at] gmail.com
thanks and regards,
jamaluddin zindani.

Jamatkhana on Moi Avenue in Nairobi, Kenya
Ya Ali Madad. A friend of mine mentioned to me that the above Jamatkhana will be closed soon for congregation, etc. I wonder whether it is true, and I hope not otherwise it will be so sad? Thank You.
It would indeed be a mistake
It would indeed be a mistake to close such a historic Jamatkhana, even Hazar Imam has mentioned this Jamatkhana's importance in his Farmans.
Ya Ali Madad. Thank You. Born in Kenya, I had spent many years in Nairobi my education, my work, etc. I was always attending this Jamatkhana morning/evening known at that time Darkhana Jamatkhana. Even now whenever I am in Nairobi my first and last Jamatkhana attendance is at this Jamatkhana. I do hope it does not close. Thank You.

You are right but the way
You are right but the way this module is programmed, it goes to fetch random files from all of the files tagged as ginans so sometimes ginans with music pops up, it can not be avoided, maybe in a later stage of programing, this flaw will disappear. There will be major changes when we move our data to a new server later this year.

A basic metabolic panel (BMP) is a set of eight tests that gives information about:
A BMP is commonly ordered as part of routine medical exam or physical. It's also often ordered for emergency room patients because it can provide information on medical problems causing chemical imbalances in the body that may need immediate attention.
The BMP evaluates:
The BMP may be performed without any preparation in an emergency, or it may be done after fasting. Your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking for 8 to 12 hours before this blood test.
On the day of the test, it may help to have your child wear a short-sleeve shirt to allow easier access for the technician who will be drawing the blood.
A health professional will usually draw the blood from a vein. For an infant, the blood may be obtained by puncturing the heel with a small needle (lancet). If the blood is being drawn from a vein, the skin surface is cleaned with antiseptic, and an elastic band (tourniquet) is placed around the upper arm to apply pressure and cause the vein to swell with blood. A needle is inserted into a vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand) and blood is withdrawn and collected in a vial or syringe.
After the procedure, the elastic band is removed. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed and the area is covered with cotton or a bandage to stop the bleeding. The entire test will only take a few minutes.
Either method (heel or vein withdrawal) of collecting a sample of blood is only temporarily uncomfortable and can feel like a quick pinprick. Afterward, there may be some mild bruising, which should go away in a few days.
The blood sample will be processed by a machine. Parts of a BMP may be available in minutes in an emergency, but more commonly, the full test results come after a few hours or the next day.
If any of the BMP results appear to be abnormal, further testing may be necessary to determine what's causing the problem and how to treat it.
The BMP test is considered a safe procedure. However, as with many medical tests, some problems can occur with having blood drawn, such as:
Having a blood test is relatively painless. Still, many kids are afraid of needles. Explaining the test in terms your child can understand might help ease some of the fear.
Allow your child to ask the technician any questions he or she might have. Tell your child to try to relax and stay still during the procedure, as tensing muscles and moving can make it harder and more painful to draw blood. It also may help if your child looks away when the needle is being inserted into the skin.
If you have questions about the BMP test, speak with your doctor.

Today Miles has been really independent; he was playing in his room earlier without me prompting him to do so, and has been really good about letting me sit at the computer and get work done.
So I took video of him eating his cheese like a child possessed and doodling with crayons. Also: I thought my microphone wasn't working, so herein we learn that I don't cull my music selection for child appropriateness. When he gets older maybe we'll cut down on some of the raunchier stuff, but for now? Not so worried.
For one, the child LOVES to dance the Lady GaGa, and I can't rightly deprive him of that.

Let your imagination roll with the Big Muddy as America's only authentic overnight paddlewheel steamboat ties up in sleepy towns and historic cities. Each day, hop-on/hop-off coaches whisk you to cultural sites and antebellum plantations. In the evenings, enjoy gourmet cuisine, premium wines and lively regional entertainment. See more journeys in our eCatalog! [1]
Highlights include:
• Sail aboard the only authentic overnight paddlewheel steamboat in America.
• Daily lectures by the "Riverlorian," the onboard river historian.
• Enjoy complimentary shore excursions.
• One of the best values in all-American vacations.
$140 per cabin shipboard credit
There's no more unique way to enjoy a Mississippi River cruise and experience the history, heritage and culture of America's heartland than a voyage aboard a genuine steamboat like the American Queen. The largest steamboat ever built, this beautiful lady of the river epitomizes the grace and grandeur that has made steamboating a cherished American tradition for more than two centuries. Though equipped with all the modern conveniences, American Queen displays the opulent elegance of the American Victorian era. Select a volume from the vast Mark Twain Gallery collection, the boat's library; enjoy a sing-along in the Main Deck Lounge; or tap your toes to a lavish show in the two-deck-tall Grand Saloon, the most elegant showplace on the river.
Explore historic ports of call like New Orleans, Natchez, Mark Twain's Hannibal, Chattanooga and Pittsburgh, just to name a few. Visit magnolia-filled squares, gracious mansions, sculptured gardens and historic landmarks - all infused with the charming allure of a bygone era. Along the way, you'll learn about the great events and people that have contributed to America's history and culture.
Choose from a variety of itineraries on the Upper Mississippi, Lower Mississippi and Ohio & Tennessee Rivers. On the Upper Mississippi: Early explorers and native tribes left their legacy behind in town names here: Joliet. Red Wing. Dubuque. Rolling farmland stretches out to the horizon, barges are measured in acres, and man-made lakes and locks channel the river's flow.
Lower Mississippi: When cotton was king and the plantation lifestyle was at its zenith, the North and South were at war, each armed with conflicting visions for the country. Look back as each battlefield and grave marker has a story to tell. Then celebrate the living, breathing places where Southern culture continues to enjoy a modern-day renaissance.
Ohio & Tennessee Rivers: Coursing nearly 1,000 miles with a watershed encompassing 14 states, the Ohio River opened up America's movement West. Here too are the great Tennessee and other wilderness rivers coursing through Bluegrass country, conjuring up tales of Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone.
Or follow your passion on a Theme Voyage: Pick a theme and embark on a cruise that will steep you in history and regional culture. Civil War: Visit battlefields and learn the history of a conflict that almost tore the country apart. Big Band Swing: Sail to the rhythms of familiar classic tunes everyone can sing along to. Old-Fashioned Holidays: Sip eggnog, sing carols and celebrate Christmas on the Big Muddy. Southern Culture: Savor Southern food, hear Delta blues and visit places that inspired writers like William Faulkner.
Price for all itineraries includes:
• 1-night luxury hotel stay with full American breakfast and transfers before or after your voyage
• Cruise accommodations aboard American Queen
• All onboard meals plus complimentary wines and beers at dinner
• Complimentary bottled water and soft drinks throughout the voyage
• Daily lectures by the "Riverlorian," an onboard river historian
• Nightly showboat-style entertainment, calliope concerts and more
• Complimentary shore excursions offering in-depth immersion into the history, culture and cuisine of America's heartland

Peanut-Free/Nut-Free Directory
Our directory is intended as a resource for people with peanut and nut allergies. It contains foods, helpful products, and much more.
I confess. I'm scared of epinephrine. Yes, I know, I know. It can save my son's life, so for this I'm grateful. And I will use it if needed, as I have done before during his first anaphylactic experience. But I still am fearful of using it. There are many reasons, which I won't go into, but ultimately I know it's super critical to use it at the first signs of anaphylaxis.
But here's my problem.
Today my son's allergist told me that I should use epinephrine ANY time my son starts to show signs of breathing distress after exposure to a known food allergen. And I should use it first, before Benedryl or Ventolin. And if he's going into an asthma crisis unrelated to food, to go ahead and use epinephrine as well.
I was totally shocked. I mean, everything I'd ever heard or read was that epinephrine should be used at the first signs of anaphylaxis, which technically means two bodily systems are compromised after exposure to an allergen. So, trouble breathing and hives or vomiting and itchy skin. But to use epinephrine if only one bodily system is involved, wow. Ok, I needed some time to wrap my mind around that. The doctor went on to say that he's never liked to be a negative nellie or to strike fear in his patient's parents, but the children at most risk for a severe or truly life threatening allergic reaction are those that are asthmatic. And especially those with chronic asthma, as my son has been suffering lately. You can read more about that here.
It's ironic because Amanda at the Eczema Society of Canada had recently told me about some studies done on the benefits of using epinephrine to treat asthma attacks. The information had surprised me, but I figured it didn't apply to my son, but still it was good to know. Then, the doctor hit me the same thing and wow. Just wow.
Given my son's history with asthma and allergic reactions, I'd say epinephrine and I are about to get more personal. I'm not sure I'm ok with this, but what are the alternatives? I just don't want to go there.
So, yes, I'm scared of epinephrine, but our lives have crossed paths and there is no going back. We'll surely be forced friends for live. If you're like me and have a fear of epinephrine, first it's good to admit how you feel as it will help you move past that fear and secondly, take a look at this post from my friend Elizabeth over at Easy Breezy Food Allergies. I hope it will give you the courage to look past your fears and use epinephrine without second guessing yourself.

More Americans Oppose HHS Mandate
After the President announced last week his alleged accommodation of religious beliefs over the HHS mandate, the administration went into overdrive to convince Americans that the issue is not about religious freedom, but access to health services.
According to the most recent poll on the issue, Americans don't seem to buying the White House spin.
As is being reported, CNN found that those polled oppose the HHS mandate 50% to 44%.
While civil liberties and constitutional rights are not subject to a popularity vote, these are encouraging numbers.
Also, another new poll reveals a substantial hit in the president's job performance -- tied directly to the flawed mandate and disturbing compromise. According to Rasmussen, 59% of Catholic voters expressed disapproval with the president's job performance, while 61% of Evangelical voters expressed disapproval. For other Protestant voters, the disapproval stands at 52%.
Senator Reid's decision not to allow a vote on Senator Blunt's amendment to restore conscience rights (after Reid said he would) may very well come back to haunt him. The longer Reid stalls, the stronger the opposition is sure to grow.

Tully's new drive-thru is great. This will slow down everyone's pace; cars, bicycles and pedestrians. When returning to the Island, Tully's coffee, service and laid-back atmosphere always make me feel at home. It's where the locals go.

Cal MacDonnell is a happily married New York City cop with a loving family. Seth Raincrest is a washed-up photographer who has alienated even his closest friends. The two have nothing in common—except that they both suffer from retrograde amnesia. It's as if they just appeared out of thin air thirteen years ago, and nothing has been able to restore their memories. Now their forgotten past has caught up to them with a vengeance.
Cal's and Seth's lives are turned upside down as they are stalked by otherworldly beings who know about the men's past lives. But these creatures aren't here to help; they're intent on killing anyone who gets in their way. In the balance hangs the life of a child who might someday restore a broken empire to peace and prosperity. With no clue why they're being hunted, Cal and Seth must accept the aid of a strange and beautiful woman who has promised to unlock their secrets. The two must stay alive long enough to protect their loved ones, recover their true selves—and save two worlds from tyranny and destruction.

It's too bad you can't bottle and sell irony. John Allison's problems would be solved.
In a blog post on his site today, the cartoonist writes, "In the last few years, the Internet has begun to change fundamentally." Worrisome, definitely, and Allison has made his living based on what I suppose we call the "webcomic model" of selling t-shirts and ancillary merchandise through his site (which we do a small amount of here). It's worked for some, but is apparently in danger because of changes in how people read and share media. He singles out Tumblr.
There are people who put all their work up on Tumblr, and don't put it anywhere else. It's so easy! Drag and drop! Their comics exist, contextless, in a stream of other people's work. They're measured by a meritocracy of Notes, Re-blogs and hearts. They have little control over the environment in which their work is displayed. Pageviews on a website are how you make money. A website is a venue to curate your work. It's how you get someone to PAY ATTENTION TO YOU AND ONLY YOU.
Tumblr is the "that's funny" archetype writ large. A million bells and whistles going off at once. To attempt to "win" on Tumblr, you have to drive your work down to the lowest common denominator, collect your "that's funny", and then, that's it! It's the equivalent of pasting your work up on bus shelter glass in a rainstorm. The sun comes out, your work is gone, no matter how many people laughed at it.
Yes, Tumblr is the new "Internet."(Follow me here!) I'm old enough to remember–I am in my twenties here, folks–when only print cartoonists talked like this. Back then a few particular cartoonists who had blazed a trail for themselves online loved to laugh publicly at people who lost their jobs in print. The web was democratic, they said, and if you can't make it work you should go die in a corner. If you followed that whole "debate," you know what I'm referring to. If not, you didn't miss out on anything that made you a smarter or better human being and I envy you.
I don't bring this up to mock Allison's financial troubles. If he's struggling, that's bad for all cartoonists and I'm in this boat with him. I have a sense of solidarity and constant dread about what is happening. But if your model can be completely undone by a new website you need to be more nimble. "The future's uncertain and the end is always near," a belligerent drug addict once sang before he abruptly died. People are raking it in on Kickstarter these days. No doubt that well will eventually dry up and we'll move on to the next platform kids with their gizmos seem to grasp while the old and out-of-it Millennials struggle to keep up.
An aspiring cartoonist wrote me for advice recently and I don't know what to tell her. How do you make a living at this? The only known step in how to achieve success in comics remains "draw comics." The rest I'm still trying to figure out.
A few signs of promise arise amid the crumbling economic models of our times. A reader bought me a bottle of whiskey yesterday, which sure was nice. If we moved to a whiskey and cartoon based economy I'd be a baron. Can't we do something simple like that?

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Your comments seem to be contradicting themselves. At the start you seem to say that the only reason you do raids is for the accomplisment of killing a boss, not gear, then later you state that doing the blizz accomplishments isnt what you want. Why exactly?
I dont get that you WANT the accomplishment of killing stuff, but to get a 'recognised' achievement, one that even gives u a 'shiney' to show off, and will make it a hard fight - yet you brush it off as not what you want. So what exactly do you want? Something to challenge the very top HC raiders in the TRAINING raid for Wrath? Do you not see the problems that would cause? New players now have to START learning in Nax, so lets not just make it a complete roadblock eh?
Whilst i personally an not HC (causual guild - raided upto MH (pre nurf) and BT (post)), i DO sympathise with them to the point that they have had no major gear reset - so have flown through the content so far, and the training raid (naxx) will provide them with no significant challenge, BUT they are the ones CHOOSING to do it this way, and im dammed if im gonna jump on the 'well blizz should have made it harder' bandwagon. I still have many many quests to complete, lore to find, and tonnes of achievements to complete. Theres new alts to lvl and gear, rep to grind, mats to farm, pvp to do, and i can do this all whilst chatting to my guild mates. If nothing in those floats your boat, then MAKE UP A CHALLENGE that YOU will find rewarding - it doesnt matter if noone else wants to do it, its YOUR game and only YOU can make it fun.

Any team in Region 6-AAAA has the toughest schedule. The region always has at least two teams ranked in the top ten (there have cases where there were three). The region includes perennial powerhouses Tucker, Marist, and Southwest Dekalb. Other teams in the region Mays (always a good football team), Dunwoody, Lithonia, Redan, Carver, and upstart Miller Grove. Every game is a region game. Region 6-AAAA is arguably the toughest football region in the state regardless of class.

The Italian Roman Catholic Diocese of Trieste (Latin: Dioecesis Tergestinus) in the Triveneto, has existed since no later than 524, and in its current form since 1977. The bishop's seat is in Trieste Cathedral. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Gorizia.[1]
Saint Frugifer, consecrated in 524, was the first bishop of Trieste; the diocese was then a suffragan of the archdiocese of Aquileia.
Among the bishops were:
- Enea Silvio de' Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II;
- Pietro Bonomo, a secretary of Emperor Frederick III and Emperor Maximilian I, bishop in 1502, and known as pater concilii in the Fifth Lateran Council (1512);
- Giovanni Bogarino, teacher of Archduke Charles of Styria, bishop from 1591.
From 1787 a series of administrative changes took place, beginning with the suppression of the diocese of Pedena, which was added to that of Trieste. Emperor Joseph II then abolished the diocese of Trieste in 1788, merging it into the archdiocese of Gradisca. In 1791 Joseph's brother, Emperor Leopold II, divided the archdiocese of Gradisca into the newly created diocese of Gorizia-Gradisca, or Görz-Gradisca, and a re-created diocese of Trieste, appointing as its bishop the tutor of his children Sigismund Anton, Count of Hohenwart. Later attempts were made to suppress the see again, but the emperor decreed its preservation, appointing Ignatius Cajetanus von Buset zu Faistenberg bishop.[2] After his death in 1803 the see remained vacant for eighteen years, because of the disorders caused by Napoleon.
Emperor Franz II finally appointed Antonio Leonardis da Lucinico as the new bishop of Trieste in 1821. In 1828 the Slovenian diocese of Koper, or Capodistria-Koper, was united with Trieste, after which it was known as the Diocese of Trieste-Koper (Capodistria),[3] or Triest-Capo d'Istria (in the German spelling).
Bishop Bartholomew Legat was present at the Synod of Vienna in 1849, where he defended the views of the minority in the First Vatican Council. In 1909 Bishop Franz Xaver Nagl was appointed coadjutor cum jure successionis to the ninety-year-old Cardinal Prince-Archbishop Anton Gruscha of Vienna.
In 1977 Koper / Capodistria became an independent diocese once more, leaving the diocese of Trieste in its present state.[4]

The Future King of the Smartphone Industry
Mohsin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are currently the largest technology companies in the world. Each of these giants has its own domain where it is the leader and pioneer. Microsoft is the leader in software operating systems and Google absolutely dominates the search arena. Apple has developed itself into the world's largest technology company due to the immense success of its iPad and iPhone. The two devices have triggered a technology revolution which has totally transformed the computing and 'phone' industry. Apple has not just provided revolutionary hardware to its customers but a comprehensive eco system as well.
The Industry
Since the launch of iPhone, a number of companies have come up with their own take on a smartphone. The most successful in these attempts has been the Samsung and Google partnership. The hardware of Samsung combined with Google's Android has given Apple a run for its money. The real power of Google's Android is not only its visual beauty, but in fact the Google's ecosystem. Recent trends in the smartphone industry show that manufacturers and consumers are placing more emphasis on the capability and price than design only. These are signs of a maturing industry because customers are less willing to pay for a brand name only and want their money's worth.
Like other technology industries, the smartphone industry also relies on specialized semiconductor companies. Therefore, every manufacturer almost has the same capability to load more power and speed into their device. This makes it very hard for companies to create a competitive advantage based only on their hardware offerings. That is the very reason that ecosystems are the future of smartphone industry and all major players have to further enrich their respective ecosystems if they want to dominate the handheld arena.
Microsoft currently has the largest ecosystem in the world, primarily due to their Windows presence. On the other hand Android and iOS dominate the smartphones and tablets. The Android is currently the largest handheld ecosystem in the world and offers itself to handheld manufacturers all around the world. Therefore, Android users have tons of choices when it comes to selecting handheld hardware and Google ensures that Android gives a uniform experience across those devices.
While the dominance of Android and iOS is absolute in the smartphone industry, Windows might find a way through tablets and hybrids. Android and iOS are currently the first user choice for leisure computing but Windows is universally accepting as the leading 'work' operating system. The software giant is trying to bank on this and has already launched Windows 8; its first touch based operating system. The software giant has also taken a leaf out of Apple's book and is offerings its own Surface Pro and Surface RT tablets. The Windows 8 is also available on hybrid devices of partner OEM's such as Samsung, Lenovo, Asus, Dell, HP etc.
Google's Cloud
The 'cloud' is one of the primary component of future ecosystems because handheld devices have limited space onboard. According to recent reports, Google is doubling its office space Seattle to further improve its cloud offerings. Amazon's cloud services are currently the most widely recognized in the industry with Microsoft's the second biggest player. Google already has a significant presence in could and enterprise services but lags behind both industry leaders. This expansion is aimed at reducing this gap and giving Google a large control over Cloud. According to analyst, a stronger Google Cloud will encourage businesses and developers to become more invested in Google products as compared to other offerings. A lot of Android applications are developed on Amazon's cloud and Google plans to wrest back control.
This move will also increase the ability of Android to significantly strengthen its ecosystem. The company will be in a better position to offer more Cloud based Product' on Android and indirectly control the development process as well. As compared to other players in the Cloud arena, Google has the unique ability to offer its service for lower prices or even free. This is because a very large portion of Google revenues comes from online advertisement, reducing the pressure on the search giant to be profitable from all its ventures.
In conclusion I believe Google and Microsoft are neck to neck into this rapidly evolving industry. Microsoft plans to attract its current Windows consumers to shift to hybrid Windows 8 devices and this transition to fuel its revenue growth. On the other Google sees its ecosystem future in its cloud services and Cloud based application. Apple is currently plagued by slowing growth and contracting margins, but the company certainly has enough resources to make a comeback. The route that Apple takes now to reclaim its top spot can be the deciding factor in this industry.

Sparkling wines are made throughout the world and the most famous are from the region in France known as Champagne.
To be called Champagne, the wine has to have had a second fermentation in the bottle to create the fizz (known as Methode Champenoise or Methode Traditionelle) and to have been grown and produced within the boarders of the Champagne region.
This is why sparkling wine such as Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Pinot Noir, which has been made using the same grape varieties and techniques as employed in Champagne, cannot be called Champagne.
Bottle fermented wines have great acidity and lovely biscuit, brioche and marmite flavours. These are clean refreshing and seriously well made wines. As a cool climate producer, New Zealand has the near perfect climate for the production of bottle fermented wines.
Two great examples are the Morton Estate Blanc de Blanc 2000, a sparkling wine made from Chardonnay grapes. It has eleven years of bottle age and all the hallmarks of a spectacular wine for a special occasion. The other good example is the Lindauer Classic Rosé which is a fantastic price and displays lovely bottle fermented characters.
Another method of producing sparkling wines is by carbonation, which maintains the fresh fruit flavours of the wine. A beautiful wine for summer is Moscato, a wine style that has its origins in Italy. Light, low alcohol and bursting with the flavours of freshly crushed Muscat grapes. My suggestion is to try the [yellow tail] Moscato, well chilled, with a ripe peach on a hot Summer's day.

IOC Blogging Guidelines for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
|Reading - Sports
|April 03 2008
IOC Blogging Guidelines
These Guidelines have been developed for persons accredited (Accredited Persons) at the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, Beijing 2008 (the Games) who maintain personal blogs, accessible by the general public, that contain any content related to their personal experiences at, and participation in, the Games (Olympic Content) upon the occasion of the Games, namely, from 8 days prior to the Opening Ceremony of the Games until 3 days after the Closing Ceremony of the Games. They are also applicable to Accredited Persons who post Olympic Content on the websites of others.
The IOC considers blogging, in accordance with these Guidelines, as a legitimate form of personal expression and not as a form of journalism. Therefore, the IOC does not consider that blogs by Accredited Persons, in accordance with these Guidelines, will compromise Paragraph 3 of Bye-law to Rule 49 of the Olympic Charter which states that Only those persons accredited as media may act as journalists, reporters or in any other media capacity.
Additionally, accredited persons at the Games must abide by the Olympic Charter.
1. Definition of a Blog
A blog is a type of website where entries are made (such as in a journal or diary), usually displayed in a reverse chronological order.
2. Personal Information
Accredited Persons should not disclose any information that is confidential or private in relation to any third party including, without limitation, information which may compromise the security, staging and organisation of the Games and, where relevant, the accredited persons respective Olympic Team or the privacy of any other Accredited Person.
In any event, blogs of Accredited Persons containing Olympic Content should at all times conform to the Olympic spirit and the fundamental principles of Olympism as contained in the Olympic Charter, and be dignified and in good taste.
3. No Sound or Moving Images of the Games
The dissemination of moving images of the Games through any media, including display on the Internet, is a part of the IOCs intellectual property rights. No sound or moving images (including sequences of still photographs which simulate moving images) of any Olympic events, including sporting action, Opening, Closing and Medal Ceremonies or other activities which occur within any zone which requires an Olympic identity and accreditation card (or ticket) for entry - e.g. competition and practice venues, Olympic Village, Main Press Centre - (Accredited Zones) may be made available, whether on a live or delayed basis, regardless of source.
4. Still Pictures
As a general rule, blogs by Accredited Persons containing Olympic Content must not include any still picture taken within Accredited Zones at the Games. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Accredited Persons may feature still pictures taken of themselves within Accredited Zones provided that such pictures do not contain any sporting action of the Games or the Opening, Closing or Medal Ceremonies of the Games. It is the Accredited Persons responsibility to obtain the consent of other persons appearing in any pictures which may featured in accordance with this Section.
5. Olympic Marks
The Olympic symbol, the word Olympic and other Olympic related words, including, but not limited to Olympic Games, Olympiad(s), Olympics and Olympic Team(s) and designs (the Olympic Marks) may be used solely for editorial purposes in conjunction with Olympic Content. Under no circumstances may the Olympic Marks be associated with any third party or any third partys products or services in any way that may give the impression that such third party or such third partys products or services have an official relationship with the IOC, the Beijing Organising Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG), the Games, any National Olympic Committee and/or the Olympic Movement.
6. Advertising and Sponsorship
As a general rule, Accredited Persons must not include any commercial reference in connection with any Olympic Content posted on their blogs. Specifically, this means that no advertising and/or sponsorship may be visible on screen at the same time as Olympic Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, advertising and/or sponsorship on the screen at the same time as Olympic Content is allowed only if it is of the IOC TOP Partners (listed on http://www.olympic.org/marketing).
Subject to the foregoing, any advertising and/or sponsorship must not be intrusive (i.e. no pop-ups nor expandable banners) and, in any event, must not take up more than 15 per cent of the screen at any given time. In addition, the websites of BOCOG, other Organising Committees of the Olympic Games and the National Olympic Committees, as well as the websites of the official broadcast rights holders of the Games, may contain advertising and sponsorship as permitted by the IOC.
Accredited Persons may not post Olympic Content on the websites of third parties, and should take all reasonable steps to stop third parties from doing so, if there is any association being made between such third parties or other advertising and/or sponsorship and, on the other hand, the Olympic Content.
7. No Exclusivity
Accredited Persons should not enter into any exclusive agreement with any company with respect to the posting of any Olympic Content.
8. Domain Names/URLs/Page Naming
Domain Names including the word Olympic or Olympics or similar are not permitted (e.g. [myname]olympic.com would not be permitted while [myname].com/olympic would be allowed but only during the period in which these Guidelines are applicable).
9. Links
In order to facilitate access to pertinent Olympic information, Accredited Persons posting Olympic Content pursuant to these Guidelines are encouraged to link their blogs to various official Olympic websites including, where relevant, the website of the accredited persons respective Olympic Team or NOC. Useful addresses include:
www.olympic.org the official website of the Olympic Movement
10. Liability
It is brought to your attention that, when Accredited Persons choose to go public with their opinions on a blog, they are responsible for their commentary. Bloggers can be held personally liable for any commentary deemed to be defamatory, obscene or proprietary. In essence, bloggers post their blogs at their own risk and they should make it clear that the views expressed are their own.
11. Responsibility and Further Restrictions
BOCOG, the National Olympic Committees, the International Federations and other entities present at the Games (e.g. media and sponsors) are in charge of ensuring that their respective delegations (i.e. those persons to whom they grant accreditation to the Games) are informed of the content of these Guidelines and agree to fully comply with them. The above-mentioned entities may also impose upon their respective delegations more restrictive blogging guidelines relating to the Games.
12. Prior or Subsequent Agreements entered into by the IOC
Nothing in these Guidelines shall be interpreted as amending or superseding the terms and conditions set forth in any agreement entered into, or to be entered into, by the IOC.
13. Infringement of Guidelines
Violation of these Guidelines by an Accredited Person may lead to the withdrawal of such persons Olympic identity and accreditation card, as foreseen in the Olympic Charter. The IOC reserves the right to take any and all other measure(s) it deems fit with respect to infringements of these Guidelines, including taking legal action for monetary damages and imposing other sanctions.

When and Where
Zazen(seated meditation) begins at the times listed below.
The sessions are broken up into 25 minutes blocks of zazen followed by 5 minutes of kinhin (walking meditation). The first block usually begins with a period devoted to sutra chanting.
Longer periods of meditation (called zazenkai) are held on the last Saturday of the month from 9am to 1pm. These sometimes include either a talk, or a discussion led by an experienced member of the group.
The group also sits from 7pm-10pm on the Friday closest to the full moon. Full moon sits include a brief ceremonial reflection on the Ten Grave Precepts, and a half hour period of free-form kinhin. See the Calendar for dates.
Donation: we recommend $5 per session ($3 concession) or $6 per week ($4 concession) if you are sitting more than once a week.
Tuesday evening zazen: 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
*On the first Tuesday of every month, zazen finishes at 8pm to allow time for Dharma Sharing.
Saturday morning zazen: 10am to 12pm.
*Saturday zazenkai (last Saturday of every month): 9am to 1pm. Dates for the following year are listed in the Calendar.
Friday evening full moon zazen: 7pm-10pm (only on the Friday closest to the full moon. See Calendar for the dates).
The Melbourne Zen Group dojo is located in the Learning Centre at the CERES Environment Park, East Brunswick (Melways ref 30 B7, Whereis map and directions).

i used to believe that the reason behind an action is what dictated that actions moral value. This is false too, because when it comes down to it all that matters is results. people do not care about reason, or method, just results. Your cause is corrupted by the very people who fight for it. just remember no matter how right you are, no matter how many lives you save, or how many people you change. no matter how many individuals collectivize for a greater cause all of your carefully picked arguments can easily be ignored. this country entitles your reason, your cause, your ideas to sit ontop of my tv like dust. anyone can ignore them for the rest of their lives, and they will. fuck change watch tv!
