Is Islam Opposed to Freedom of Belief?
- Islam guarantees the freedom of belief and this is verified in the following Quranic verse:
"Let there be no compulsion in religion''
Accordingly, no one is forced to renounce his religion in favour of another faith. One's freedom to adhere to the religion of one's choice establishes the base of his belief. And this is emphasized in the following Quranic verse:
"Let him who will, believe, and let him who will, reject (it)."
- Declaring the freedom of belief means accepting that there is more than one religion. This was stressed by the prophet in the first Constitution of the Islamic state in Al Madina when he acknowledged Judaism and declared that the Jews and the Muslims in Al Madina formed one nation. An example of Islam's granting freedom of belief is Umar ibn Al-Khattab's treatment of the Christians of Jerusalem whom he guaranteed the safety of their lives. Their churches, and their crosses assuring them that none of them would be harmed on account of his religion.
- Islam also grants freedom of thought and opinion provided that discussions on religion are of an objective nature and are not a pretext for abuse and ridicule. This is referred to in the following Quranic verse:
" Invite (all) to the way of your creator with wisdom and beautiful preaching ; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious."
In the light of this tolerance, discussions may take place between Muslims and Non–Muslims. The Quran invites the Muslims to discuss matters with the people of the Book in the following Quranic verse:
"O people of the Book, come to common terms as between us and you: that we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with him; that we elect not from among ourselves lords and patrons other than God, If they turn back say you: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to the will of God )."
This verifies that should the discussion between both parties fail to accomplish its aim, each person is entitled to adhere to the faith in which he believes. This is also what the following Quranic verse expressed concerning the prophet Muhammad's final remarks to the pagans of Mecca namely:
"You have your religion and I have mine."
- Belief is based upon one's conviction, and sincere belief is therefore based on indisputable conviction and is not the result of blind imitation or compulsion. Every individual is free to choose or adopt the faith in which he believes and to exercise his free thought even if he is an atheist. No one has the right to interfere with his beliefs provided that he keeps his beliefs to himself and does not spread them among the people in order to confuse them regarding their moral values. If he deliberately does so, and spreads his false beliefs which reject the beliefs of the people, he will have opposed the regime of the state in which he lives and will have stirred sedition in the hearts of the people. Any person who acts in such a manner will be accused of treason and condemned to death.
The execution of a person who renounces his faith in Islam is not just due to the renouncing of his religion in which he had believed of his own free will, but also the punishment for inciting sedition against the established religious authority of the Islamic state.
If he should renounce his religion without spreading his views among the people and without shaking the peoples belief, he is immune against all harm. Some Muslim scholars are of the opinion that the person who renounces his faith does not meet his punishment in this world but would be punished in the Hereafter on the Day of Judgement. They also declared that the execution of those who renounced Islam according to the sayings of the prophet, was not for renouncing Islam, but for being enemies of Islam who had fought the Muslims on the battle ground

How was your experience?
While Hershey Felder put forth a great effort, the show was too long (approximately two and a half hours without an intermission) and not well edited. Believe it or not, the show did not have much of Liszt's beautiful music, but a lot of history subsequent to Liszt's death.

The Bills have announced that seven players have been signed to the team's practice squad:
WR Kamar Aiken
QB Levi Brown
TE Mike Caussin
DE Lionel Dotson
NT Michael Jasper
DB Joshua Nesbitt
C Michael Switzer
No huge surprises there, although I'm fairly surprised that WR Naaman Roosevelt was not added to the squad. I really have to wonder how badly he's hurt. LB Antonio Coleman – who played with the Bills last season – is also not on the squad as of now. Of course, it's possible other teams have claimed Roosevelt or Coleman. NFL teams are allowed eight on the practice squad, so the Bills have room for one more.
The Bills also announced that the team has released undrafted rookie TE Zach Pianalto, who made the original 53-man squad yesterday. You have to wonder if the Bills holding that open practice squad spot for him. (He'll have to clear waivers first.)

No one can tell you how your first code will make you feel. No one can tell you how you will react or respond, only that you better respond or move out of the way. Today I experienced my first code blue. I have been an RN for two months now and have worked on a surgical floor for about 3 weeks. I received report on patient X in the morning, told them I would return to complete an assessment and give the patient's medication, asked if they needed anything right now, and smiled happily as I exited the room to see my next patient. It was like every other morning. Nothing alerted me to anything out of the ordinary with this patient. I had a rhythm…I get report on all of my patients, collect their medications and I'm off to complete my assessment on the patient I feel needed addressing first. I looked at my preceptor and said "I'd like to see patient X first since I need to address some things that the previous nurse did not get to, but since patient Y is due for meds first I will go see patient Y first." Assessment and medication for patient Y complete….well since patient Z is on my way to patient X's room, I guess I can stop there next……I wish I would have went to patient X first. Maybe I could have seen through a shift assessment that there was something wrong. As I walked down the hall, excited that I was actually making good timing this morning, I heard a scream from my patient's room "I need help PLEASE!!" The physical therapist was calling out from MY patient's room. I ran to the bedside and the patient was sitting at the side of the bed slouched over and unresponsive. The physical therapist was pale and holding her up. She said the was assisting the patient to walk to the bathroom before therapy and as she was walking back to the bed the patient loss consciousness. My face froze and for a second I forgot everything I have been trained to do. "Call Code BLUE!!", yelled my preceptor and as I snapped back into reality just a second later I was pushing frantically at the blue button on the wall. I have ACLS training and I graduated from nursing school, this should be like clockwork…..but it wasn't. Before I could regain my wits to run for the crash cart, the crash cart was running me over followed by nurses and doctors more experienced than myself piling into this tiny room. Everything happened so fast from that moment. And I thought to myself as I was pushed out of the way by the growing number of people who entered the room….why didn't I react more quickly? I know what to do….I've never done it on a human before….but I know what to do none-the-less. At that point I was running trying to find where I could help and what supplies I could gather. Answering questions about this patient that I had met for 5 minutes this morning. Feeling like I failed the patient. I wish I had more time to speak to her and make her laugh, to give her one more smile, to ask if there was anything else I could do for her. No one tells you how gut-wrenching it is to watch a patient fight to survive, have every avenue pursued to save them, and watch them die. No book can describe the agony you feel when a code is called. No one tells you how you fight with your own mortality and the mortality of your loved ones as you clean the cold, lifeless body that just moments ago was "warm, dry, and intact". And no one prepares you to see the heartache in the family's eyes as you watch someone tell them that their loved one did not make it. I've heard from other nurses about the guilt that you feel when your patient dies. I always thought, "well, if you did everything you could do, what else could you have done? You shouldn't feel guilty about that." Now I understand. You can always find something that you "could have done better". But you learn from each situation and you move on. And the hardest thing is to go about your day caring for your other patients with a smile, because they deserve it, without them knowing that your heart was just broken a few seconds ago. And just like that you must move on……and just that fast you must move on.
Just applied for 4 positions in Virginia. Ahh!
Where in VA? I live in VA. Good luck!
Hello, I know a couple of you who follow my blog are nurses or have a medical profession, and I just wanted to see if I could get some advice. I am graduating from nursing school in 3 weeks (Yay!) and I already started applying for jobs. I received my first call back and will be going on my first interview next friday. Do you have any advice on how to prepare for an interview for an RN position? Do you recommend having a nurse portfolio? Do you have any ideas on what types of questions I should prepare for?
Thank you so much for following me. I'm sorry I never post anything, but I really enjoy reading all of your blogs. Thanks in advance for the advice as well.
Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us…
Love this!
I joined tumblr never having any intention of posting or blogging about anything. I saw some blogs that seemed interesting and decided to join so I could follow them. I am in my last semester of nursing school and I love science, so most of the blogs I follow are medical or science related, with the occasional fitblr so I can attempt to motivate myself into exercising and eating healthier. It's a failed attempt more days than not!
I decided I wanted to say something since I have a couple of followers, who I assume are following me because I follow them. Thanks! I hate to disappoint by never saying anything. All of your blogs are great and I enjoy reading all of your posts.
Maybe I will start to have something to say, maybe not. We'll see how this whole blogging thing turns out. It is nice to have someone to "talk" to even if you are all complete strangers.
Until we meet again…..

11:50 AM PT -- TMZ has obtained NEW VIDEO of the Chris Brown valet incident ... in which it's clear -- BROWN THREATENED THE VALET.
Chris Brown turned his anger issues on a valet parker at a bowling alley in L.A. last night ... cussing at the guy over the $10 service charge ... and TMZ caught the whole thing on tape.
It all went down at PINZ bowling alley in Studio City ... where CB had been attending a charity event with his posse.
But when Chris went to get his car from the valet, the guy working the parking lot asked for the $10 charge ... and Chris got PISSED.
After the valet made it clear he couldn't release the car without the cash ... the singer and his posse surrounded the guy ... and at one point you can hear Chris say, "F*ck ten dollars."
Sources at the scene tell us Brown was angry because he was only at the event for 30 minutes and felt like he was getting ripped off by the valet.
As tensions grew, someone in Chris' posse can be heard saying. "We got the money ... don't worry about it."
But Chris DID worry about it ... and in a threatening manner, told the valet, "We gonna turn this whole thing on out."
A short time later, Brown shouted a last insult at the valet ... it sounded like he said, "Funk ass ten dollars" ... before walking away with his posse.
Brown ultimately got his keys and drove off -- it's unclear if he ever paid the $10 fee.
Ha ha ha... They toll gay brown to man up! Going Agains a old guy... What a *****! And he better take that L.A hat off too!
Chris Brown needs to sit, shut up and roll over like
the Dog he is. GROW THE HELL UP
I wish someone would knock his punk teeth out ! This guy is TRASH and he is the reason whites do not like blacks !
I see those anger management classes were effective....to predict future behavior-look at past behaviors
Some of you think this is a joke. But add in the ...oh...lets be conservative and say, add in the 1-2 million more like him walking the streets, and a civil war cannot be that far away. You all may think I have lost iot....but thats exacty how they treated everyone who thought ethere would be a civil war just days before it happened. Read the history "events leading up to the civil war."
And look at all the vulgar trash taking nonsense we get on threeads like these. Im only here because I havent been on yahoo in 6 months BECAUSE of constant "news" like this and bam! I get hit with it in the face, once again. Naturally this happens in all cultures,right? Im sure in Sweden this happens every day, yah? LOL
I predict its going to happen like 9/11. Just one combustible event /riot/killing spree after another ,inside of 2 weeks. National guard and Army will be brought in. It wont be the whole country like last time, but its going to scare many people from leaving their houses for a good while. Im crazy? It is only the events that seem the most insane to happen that seem to happen in this new century. What do we do? Load up on glocks and shotguns? Or actually refuse service to people who cant act right? Or what? I almost give up. America has just about thrown in the towel anyway, it seems. In 1965 that event would be all over the news. But because it "aint no big deal", now we have kids shooting other kids. How far do we let the envelope get pushed. Even Rhianna must think this kind of behavior is acceptable, if she really is dating the guy. I don't keep up with gossip so I dont know. I'd just settle to find one thread about a racial or inter-racial incident where no one calls another person a bitch. That would raise the IQ of a few people,no? So, how can we all act so a terrible event does not befall this country? Black, white or red. Makes no difference. Just a dfew people who organize and get a tiny bit of publicity at the right time is all it ever took to brink change.......
Damn, I saw the headline and was really hoping for an interesting story about how Chris Brown spontaneously exploded..... maybe next time.
$10?? Are you serious, dude? I actually think $10 for VALET is actually a deal. He should've given him a $20 bill to cover that plus a tip; it's called common courtesy. Those guys don't earn standard wages; they run around & valet your car, depending on tips to make a living. And this jerk a*s dude is being a cheap b*tch for what reason? Then he wonders why more & more people hate him. Clown.
He can't handle paying $10 and that's pretty embarrassing. It does not matter how long his car was there, the company provided a service. Had the company not provided their service, his car could have been vandalized or stolen. It's worth the $10 Cheap Brown. Or Cheapie Brown as in Charlie Brown. Cheapstopher Brown I left one out out of respect.
Just another talentless, attention starved, Hollywood twit.
I would have tazed him.
Plazzzzz! ALL YOU CHRIS BROWN HATERS(WHITE PEOPLE) MIGHT AS WELL JUST START BURNING YOUR TORCHES AND WEARING YOUR WHITE SHEETS AND GO AND START THE LET'S GET RID OF CHRIS BROWN CAMPAIGN!!! REALLY IF ONE WAS TO LOOK INTO YOUR LIFE WHAT ON EARTH WILL THEY FIND HMMMMM!.......ALL YOU HYPOCRITES STOP JUDGING AND LEARN LOVE INSTEAD OF HATE!!!

Probably pissed because he doesn't have ten dollars, wasted it " making it rain" at strip clubs < eye roll>
Jerk. And this was at a CHARITY EVENT. And he just paid $65,000 for earrings for Rhiannon. Idiot. If you buy his music, stop. This guy needs to lose all his money and work for others in customer service..that'll teach him. Rhiannon you are a fool for being with this guy!
Even if he won, I'd love to fight that piece of ****. I promise, he'd remember me. Cheap ass rich prick. Pay for your ****ing vallet, stop acting like your still a broke ass ****** in the hood. You drive $250k cars and can't spend $10 to park. What a ****ing ridiculous clown.

Friends, as you are getting yourself sexified to go to work/school/wherever life takes you during your day…I'd like to remind you of the words of one Kyan Douglas of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy:
"Spray, delay, and walk away (through the spray)."
You spray THREE times in the air and walk through it. Do not spray on yourself. Do not bathe in it.
I say this as someone with a sensitivity to flowery or baby powder perfumes (remember Baby Soft?!). Usually, it triggers some minor coughing with a special dose of migraine fun. Today, I enjoyed an hour long coughing/choking/gagging/hairball affair with the addition of a migraine.
I've spent money on perfume that's made me ill and I could never wear. Vera Wang! Shit's expensive!
We all wanna smell good but there is nothing worse than being in an enclosed space with someone who put all the AXE body spray on prior to rollin' into the bar. You smell him before you see him. Ladies, you're not exempt. You don't need to use the Bath & Body Works Lotion and Body Spray for the same fragrance. That just amplifies the smell. Rule of thumb, if you can smell it, you've got on too much.
Please, think of the children and their fragile little noses. Remember the wise words of Mr. Douglas: "SPRAY, DELAY, AND WALK AWAY!!"
Thank you.

One of my favorite quotes has come true!!!!
I started Weight Watchers last year in September and have been doing very well -- and I can honestly, without a doubt say that I am SO GLAD I STARTED THIS TIME LAST YEAR!!! I was not a happy person before I started --- I had little energy, my joints were starting to hurt, I had a hard time finding clothes that fit and were fashionable, I couldn't stay on my feet for long periods of time --- and on and on and on ---
I'm not sure exactly what made me go to that first meeting, but whatever it was that finally clicked, I am so thankful for that moment. I have a "weigh" to go yet, but I feel SO much better! For some odd reason, fall seems to be my best losing weight season! Summer was harder - I didn't gain - I actually lost a little - so I'm not complaining, but I'm really glad that September starts tomorrow and I plan to have a repeat performance of last year!!! I want to wake up on September 1, 2015 and be able to re-post this blog again! Well, maybe I can make one revision and that would be that I got the summer bummer figured out!!!
I'm joining a challenge on the Weight Watcher Team that's called "Make SEPTEMBER a Month to REMEMBER!" I want everyone to have this feeling of looking back without regret --- and looking to the future with excitement -- it's the only WEIGH to go!
Looking forward to 30 days of well planned, goal focused, happy, healthy living!!! Welcome September!
I've joined the Weight Watcher Team challenge for the month of August --- it's all about staying On Program and within my Daily Points Target for the 31 days in August --- A.C.E. --- that stands for August Challenge Event and the word ACE means to get the best grade/score -- to get a hole-in-one -- to serve the tennis ball so well that the opponent can't even touch it ---- it's good! it's all very, very good! and that's just what I plan to do for August --- I'm going to be very, very good and in 31 days I want to be able to say that I "ACED" August!!!
Monday through Friday --- piece of cake! (not literally, mind you!)
Friday night --- Saturday --- Sunday ------- well ------ that's another story!!!
I'm doing very well on my weight loss journey --- but lately, I've found the weekends becoming difficult for me to stay on program. Up until the summer, I did fine on the weekends --- but now that I'm off for the summer, I'm finding that I'm wanting to go "off" my finely tuned weight loss program! The biggest reason is that I'm around others who can eat, love to eat, or just eat to eat ----- and they don't gain weight when they do! I, on the other hand, can become a big ballooned elephant in a matter of hours!!!
Well this weekend is going to be different! I'm on the Weight Watcher Team and we are having a mini challenge for this weekend --- it's designed to help us STOP messing around with our weight loss program just because its the weekend --- thought I would share the info and invite anyone on spark to join us! Here are the details:
Need help staying STRONG and ON PROGRAM over the weekend??? Do you find your weekends sometimes becoming WEAKends??? I know I do -- and in the summer it's even harder for me!
This mini challenge is to help us make ourselves STOP!!!!!
S tay
T otally
O n
P rogram
that's it STAY TOTALLY ON PROGRAM!!! S.T.O.P.!!!! for the next couple of days -- Friday night through Sunday bedtime --- we will S.T.O.P. ---- easy peasy (hold the full fat cheesey!!) --- no excuses --- no weaknesses --- no hit & miss --- no forgetting to plan ahead --- no trashing the tracker --- no sneaking --- no cheating --- no nothing that will keep us from having a successful weekend!!! We will just say NO!!! to anything that will throw us off track and say YES!!! to making good healthy choices and STAYING TOTALLY ON PROGRAM!!!
So -- who's in?? who needs to STOP??? who could use some extra support and strength from the WW Team???
here's what you need to do:
**post a comment right here on my blog saying that you're going to STOP this weekend
**make yourself some sticky notes that have the word STOP written on them in big letters - preferably in red ink!! and place them around your living spaces so you SEE them!
**then just DO IT!!!!
won't you join me???? We CAN do this --- we can STOP!!!!
I've got melon - I've got blueberries - I've got cool whip - I've got bananas - and now, I've got some ideas!!! Thought I'd share!
HAPPY and HEALTHY 4th of JULY to all spark peeps!!!
I had a very nice surprise just now as I was getting ready to call it a night ----- I took my pedometer out of my pocket and I had reached an all time HIGH total for steps today!!!! I was 1500 steps over where I usually would be for a Sunday (the day of rest, you know!!) I was totally amazed b/c I really didn't do anything on purpose to increase my number - it just happened! Which means that I'm getting more active w/o even thinking about it --- and that, my dear friends, just MAKES MY DAY!!! So excited about this --- I have suffered with bursitis in both Achilles Tendons for several years now and had pretty much given up on the idea of ever getting more active w/o a huge effort on my part and/or some added pain --- so this was such a nice surprise to see that larger number. It feels so good to see success in areas other than the scale -- although I sure am enjoying seeing those LOWER numbers there! Funny how some numbers are exciting LOWER while other numbers are exciting HIGHER!!!! This weight loss journey is just one interesting trip!

- Provide funding for comfortable environments for autistics in public schools, where they can recover from the stress of being in a neurotypical environment. Features would include stimming toys, "squeeze machines", weighted blankets, and noise-cancelling scarves/headphones.
- Provide funding for more aides and counselors in public schools with comprehensive backgrounds in social/emotional issues rather than behavioral ones. Instead of one or two such counselors per school, how about five or six?
- Mandate a less bureaucratically inflexible, faster path towards obtaining 504 accommodations and IEP's. Also mandate effective special education environments to help autistic students achieve their goals effectively.
- For autistics on IEP's, mandate a more accommodating standard curriculum, which allows motivated, academically-oriented autistics to succeed in higher level classes.
- Close loopholes in the Americans with Disabilities Act, fully preventing discrimination in jobs, healthcare, housing, and applying for federal aid.
- Mandate more competent advocates and caretakers by requiring at minimum a bachelor's degree in psychology and a license. Encourage people to acquire certifications by raising wages for social workers as incentive.
- Create college scholarships for autistics, and require all colleges to provide necessary accommodations for students.
- Encourage the creation of paid internships in diverse fields for autistics.
There are a lot more things that I can't think of right now, so please add things as you will.

Challenges For Saudi Arabia At Home And Abroad
This weekend, dozens of women drove in a protest to win greater rights in Saudi Arabia -- the only country that does not issue driver's licenses to women. While the kingdom's human rights record recently came under fire from the U.N., the organization offered Saudi Arabia a seat on its Security Council. In a surprise move, the Saudis declined the offer, sending a message about the effectiveness of the Council and recent U.S. Middle East policy. The Saudis are said to be angry over the Obama administration's perceived weakness in dealing with Syria and its recent overtures toward Saudi's arch-enemy, Iran. Diane and her guests discuss new pressures on Saudi Arabia at home and abroad.

Cadillac Ranch, Marsh insists, is the most popular piece of art in America, built for the price of a week's vacation for a family of four. Local Cadillac dealers, he contends, hold secret "worship rituals" involving fresh gladiolas at the Ranch. "If I knew how to make something that popular," Marsh says, "I'd make one a year."
After the success of Cadillac Ranch, Ant Farm continued the hit parade in rapid succession, pausing only to recap their activities in an exhibit at the Contemporary Arts Museum titled "20/20 Vision." Media Burn happened in 1975, followed by The Eternal Frame, a bizarrely obsessive reenactment of the Kennedy assassination in which Michels, dressed in a pink suit and pillbox hat, played Jackie. The reenactment, performed at Dealey Plaza, entranced tourists, who watched as Ant Farm repeated the assassination again and again, precisely following the action recorded on the famous Zapruder film. "I can't believe it happened to somebody so wonderful," said one coiffed blond onlooker, brushing away tears. "I'm glad we were here, I really am.It was too beautiful."
By the late '70s Ant Farm had scattered, and Michels had a new fascination: dolphins. He decided that establishing communication with the ancient order of cetaceans should be a primary goal. "The presence of a mammal on earth with intelligence equal to man is a reality which modifies every notion in our current belief structure," he wrote at the time.
Funded by a Rockefeller Foundation grant, Michels went to Australia, where on a previous trip he had fallen in love with an art student named Alex Morphett. With Morphett and Australian architect Robert Perry, he started an experiment in "trans-species diplomacy" called the Dolphin Embassy. The centerpiece of the project was a ship, the Oceania, designed to promote interspecies communication. The Oceania, intended to be staffed by scientists and artists, and decked out with state-of-the-art communications equipment, featured an internal pool that dolphins could swim into at will. Instead of being studied in captivity, the theory went, dolphins could self-select their "ambassadors" to the human race.
Michels's friends thought he had lost it. Even Ant Farm's antics seemed perfectly sane compared to an interspecies diplomatic mission. "I just thought he was over the deep end with the dolphins," says Chip Lord. "There was going to be a Dolphin Embassy in D.C., a landlocked city. I don't know who was going to be the ambassador."
Oceania was never built, and Michels returned to the United States. But his Delphic obsession only grew. He now claims, in fact, that Cadillac Ranch was "a dolphin idea," comparing the cars' tail fins in their ocean of waving wheat to Flipper cavorting at sea. Michels began to think that maybe certain coincidences in his life weren't coincidences after all. Maybe the dolphins had a plan for him. It was no accident, he thought, that when he wrote to all the dolphinariums in the United States asking for work, the only one that offered him a job was Sea World in Galveston.
He worked there, feeding dolphins and cleaning tanks, until 1978, when a commission from Houston investment banker Rudge Allen and his wife, Nancy, brought Michels back to the world of architecture. Allen, intrigued by the Dolphin Embassy's communications room, wanted a state-of-the-art media room, complete with big-screen TV, video player, stereo and what is said to be the first Apple home computer in Houston. Michels, with the help of Morphett and Richard Jost, who had worked on the House of the Century, designed a sleek gray pod with a magnet-shaped sectional couch and a hidden sound system. Articles about the Teleport touted it as ahead of its time, positing a future where commuting to the office would not be necessary. Describing Michels's design, Newsweek coined the term "compunications."
While he was working on the Teleport, Michels was invited to tour NASA. There he learned that in zero gravity, water forms a perfect sphere, a concept that soon inspired another "dolphin idea." He went home and drew Bluestar, a "think tank in space." The centerpiece of the Saturn-shaped space station is a giant globe of water encased in glass, an extraterrestrial home for dolphins. To this day, Michels marvels that Bluestar sprang into his head fully formed. In two decades of refinement, he says, the basic design has not changed.
If the dolphin obsession was far-out, then Michels's next move may have been even weirder. He went straight, applying for a job in the corporate offices of Philip Johnson in New York. When Michels went to see Johnson, who had just been on the cover of Time magazine, the eminent architect said, as Doug recalls, "You want to come work for me and make fun of me in some artwork?"
"He was quick," Michels says. "He knew Ant Farm." Michels assured Johnson that he simply wanted to learn more about designing buildings, and soon he was working on the least glorious jobs the firm could offer: parking garages and bathrooms. Almost a year passed before he got his chance to move up. He ran into Johnson in the elevator and ventured to ask his boss how he planned to resolve a design problem for his house in California. "You tell me, you're from California," Johnson said imperiously, as Michels recalls.

DoE Offers $11 Million for LED Manufacturing, R&D
The US Department of Energy is making up to $11 million in new funding available to support research, development, and commercialization of solid-state lighting (SSL) manufacturing technologies.
The DoE will select up to six projects to accelerate the development of light-emitting diode (LED) and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) products that can significantly reduce energy costs for residences and businesses.
SSL technologies like LEDs and OLEDs are about ten times more energy efficient than conventional incandescent lighting and can last up to 25 times longer. The projects selected to receive funding will help reduce the cost of SSL products and expand technological expertise in SSL manufacturing and deployment.
The funding is open to applications in the following areas:
- LED Luminaire/Module Manufacturing
- LED Test and Inspection Equipment
- OLED Deposition Equipment
- OLED Materials Manufacturing.
In other energy efficient lighting news, iLumi Solutions says it will begin, in spring 2013, to offer a series of Bluetooth-enabled LED light bulbs, which are controlled wirelessly from a mobile app for iOS and Android.
Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth 4.0) are inside every iLumi, as well as a processor, memory and real-time clock, giving users the following features and capabilities:
- Millions of color and brightness combinations are available.
- iLumis can turn on or off, dim or brighten, or run programs at set dates and times based on scheduling preferences.
- With proximity and geo-location recognition, iLumis can turn on and off as they tell detect the presence of people.
- iLumis can synchronize to music or create effects like light strobes, fire or flickering candlelight.
- iLumis can provide alerts, ranging from weather and temperature, to incoming calls, emails and social media messages, to stock price movements and news.
- With Bluetooth there are no routers or master/slave dependencies.
- Multiple iLumis communicate with each other to create a dynamic wireless mesh network that supports up to 100 bulbs.
One comment on "DoE Offers $11 Million for LED Manufacturing, R&D"
I read that OLED is more natural, sun-like lighting than conventional LED.
All this effort for LED technology improvement is a good thing for sure.

Air(o) on the Wrist
Airo Health has released its AIRO, a next-generation health-monitoring device that can be worn as a sleek wristband to automatically monitor nutrition, stress, exercise and sleep. It can also analyze caloric consumption, stress patterns, daily exertion and sleep quality to help wearers obtain better overall health.
It can monitor nutrition by looking at different wavelengths of light to look into the blood stream and detect metabolites as they are released while and after a user eats; while it also measure calorie intake and determines the quality of meals consumed. From here it can provide recommendations on how to improve one's diet.
On the stress end AIRO utilizes heart rate variability (HRV) to monitor micro-fluctuations in stress throughout the day, and can notifies users when their stress level is on the rise. It can work like other sleep monitors as well, as it looks at the autonomic nervous system to notice distinct sleep cycles; and from here can recognize when the body is in deep sleep, light sleep or REM sleep and can calculate how much of a user's night was restorative.
As an exercise tracker the AIRO monitors daily exertion through heart rate and caloric burn, and from here it uses these metrics to detect how intense the activity has been, and even checks to see how the body has recovered from activity over the course of the following days. Video after the jump

Cedar home with guest cottage 2 miles from down town Lincoln City and wonderful Pacific Ocean beaches. We are on beautiful Devils Lake, which you can enjoy with our row boat included with the rooms. Quite and relaxing with beautiful landscape, flowers, trees and a large lawn. Two of the rooms have balconies with a great view of the lake and wonderful Oregon sunsets. The Lake Side room has a 2 person hot tub on the balcony. I am able to take childen because the cottage and rooms are not together. I can have a honeymoon couple in one room and a family in other and only at breakfast do they share space, which has worked so well. Devils Lake is a great lake for all water sports, fishing and swimming. The best thing about the Lake House is the quite and relaxing area but only a few miles to shopping and some of the best restaurants in Oregon.

My husband and I were taken back by how relaxing of an experience it truly was. Mary and Red make you feel right at home- it was like we have always known them. We had great conversations with them over amazing breakfasts! The room was super clean and very cozy! I lived the fact from my bed I could see the lake. My husband had a little boat and we docked it right there. The hot tub was my favorite! Thank you for a blessed weekend!

My new husband and I so enjoyed our stay. Very private and romantic. The house is right on the lake and our room had a lake view. We had a private entrance with deck/balcony and 2-person jacuzzi. Breakfast was exceptional. We will definitely return.

My son and I had a wonderful stay in the Cottage. It was perfect for taking a small human to a B&B since we did not have to worry about disturbing the other guests. Red and Mary made us both very welcome at the table and we will definitely be returning!

This B&B is a little gem near Lincoln City. It is far enough from the city to be away from the busy tourists, but close enough to drive to an Outlet Mall or the coastal highway. Rooms: The "Rose Garden Room" was nice & cozy. Though a bit small for some, it was perfect for my wife and my self. The pictures online made the room look a little older fashioned than desired, but we found it a lot nicer in person (FYI: the walls are white instead of the green you see in some of their websites' pictures). I also took a peek at the "Lakeside Room" when it was unoccupied and it was nice and spacious. Personally, I think it also looked much better in person! Services: Mary & Red were excellent hosts. They know the area very well, had excellent suggestions for shopping/eating, and were talkative enough to be approachable- but they gave enough space to be alone. They allowed us use of their boat, canoe, and life vests. Breakfast: Mary & Red made an amazing bread pudding with whiskey sauce. It came with an orange smoothie, orange juice and fruit. Following it came pancakes, a strawberry topping, hashbrowns, and sausage (NOT like those from a frozen box). The guests in the Cabin had to leave before breakfast to join their family in town, so Red & Mary ate with us. They were very sociable and all of us at the table had a great time! Planning on going back someday :D

There were a kayak and a row boat at our disposal and a private deck on which to read. We had coffee and a refrigerator right outside our room. It was a lovely stay. We hope to go back in the near future. The two breakfasts we had were both delicious and pleasant sitting around the table with the owners and the other guests. I highly recommend this B&B to anyone wanting a relaxing and pleasant time away.

Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 £149
16th Jun 2011 | 14:37
Z68 motherboards don't come much more attractive
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3: Overview
Astoundingly, while some other manufacturers have yet to get one out the door, there are 12 different variations on the Z68 theme from Gigabyte already, including this, the Z68X-UD3H-B3.
That's a lot of numbers and letters which basically tell us that this is a good looking board – dressed as it is, all in black – which has some high-end features that you won't find on a cheaper example such as ASRock's Z68 Pro 3.
For example, there are two PCI-Express slots for graphics cards, premium grade components for stability and overclocking and a back-up BIOS for restoring things if it all goes wrong.
Add in the standards, including two USB 3.0 ports and support for SATA 3 drives, and it's tempting not to bother waiting to see what rivals can produce.
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3: Benchmarks
Compared to the older P67 chipset there's not a lot to distinguish Gigabyte's Z68X-UD3H-B3 in terms of raw performance. It's the extra features such as Lucid's Virtu and Intel's Smart Response Technology that make it the more futureproof platform.
Video encoding
Cyberlink MediaEspresso (1080p clip with QuickSync) - Time: quicker is better
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3: 18secs
ASUS P8P67Pro: 90secs
X264 V3 (no QuickSync) - Frames per second: higher is better
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3: 32.5fps
ASUS P8P67Pro: 36.0fps
Overall platform performance
PCMark Vantage - Index score: higher is better
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3: 10967
ASUS P8P67Pro: 11362
1080p gaming performance
Just Cause 2 (high) - Frames per second: higher is better
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3: 54.87FPS
ASUS P8P67Pro: 54.92FPS
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3: Verdict
Bundled along with the usual suites of overclocking tools there's an app which we particularly liked for the Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3, although we're not entirely sure when we'd make use of it.
Cloud OC enables you to take control of BIOS settings remotely via Bluetooth (if you have a separate adaptor) or the web. It's a neat trick, similar to that pioneered by Asus on its ultra-high end Republic of Gamers' boards.
But the real star of the show here, as it will be for all Z68 motherboards, is Lucid's Virtu technology. Once again this deceptively simple piece of software, which enables you to use the integrated graphics core without removing your gaming GPU, proves itself to be a reliable and invaluable tool.
At least, it is if you do any video editing, where it can accelerate certain encoding applications by stupid amounts. In our tests, it was almost five times faster than encoding by CPU alone.
But even if you don't do video editing it will still power-down your discrete card when its 3D chops aren't needed, making for a much greener gaming machine anyway.
Elsewhere, Gigabyte's Z68X-UD3H-B3 puts in an equally solid performance. We could wish for more USB ports and SATA slots, but we'd probably have to pay a lot more for them. We also quite like the familiar feeling old school BIOS option, though the lack of UEFI is still rather strange.
There is one issue, however. The PCIe slots scale back to just 8x, rather than 16x lanes if both are used at the same time. SLI or Crossfire should be fine for most purposes, but you might start to see that bandwidth bottleneck kicking in if you're planning to set up dual graphics for multi-monitor resolutions with lots of image quality settings turned on.
But if you're only planning to use one card, you might want to look at the ASRock Z68 Pro 3. The Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 is the better-built board, but ASRock's is almost £40 cheaper.
We liked
At less than £150 this seems like a good value board, considering it has Gigabyte's Ultra Durable three components and lots of flexibility for overclocking. Lucid's Virtu application for switching between integrated and discrete graphics again proves itself admirably, and extras such as Cloud OC are fun to have.
We disliked
It's probably going to be worth waiting to see how prices calm down around the Z68 chipset. There are other, cheaper examples available already, and the eight lane PCI-Express limitation here might be a cost cutting measure too far if you're planning for dual GPUs in the future.
Two USB 3.0 ports, support for SATA 3 drives, PCI-Express slots, premium grade components and a back-up BIOS combine with slick extras in the shape of Lucid's Virtu and Intel's Smart Response Technology to make the Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 a very tempting offering indeed.

TWiBJJ Wrap-Up: Episode 3
Well, Readers … this is a bittersweet day. It's a day of Farewell and Hello (Farelo, as I've come to know it). We are now on our third episode of our weekly BJJ News podcast called This Week in BJJ as you may or may not know (but should), and it's been exciting to participate in it. Unfortunately, TWiBJJ makes the FWU somewhat redundant (and infinitely less compelling). After much soul searching (the time it took for me to drink a coconut water), I've decided to transition the Friday Wrap-Up to a TWiBJJ Wrap-Up. I'll still add newsworthy items under the errata section as I see fit, but the FWU will cease to exist as it was – a standalone entity.
Rafael & Guilherme Mendes – on Top of the World
This interview was conducted by Budo staff writer Erin Herle.
How long have you been training and how did you get started?
We started training jiu jitsu in 2001. Our cousin used to train us in a small gym in the city. He used to give classes in a social project for children so we started training with him. We stayed training there for a few months however he needed to stop giving classes so we began to train with professor Ramon Lemos, who during that time was giving classes with Professor Leonardo Santos. They always encouraged us to compete a lot. We always knew what we wanted to become since we started training and we dedicated ourselves to training. It was never just for fun; we always had goals to train and be the best at what we do.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Crest Hill police say a house fire last weekend was set to cover up a murder.
In the ruins of the burned home on Caton Farm Road, firefighters found the body of 89-year-old Dorothy Dumyahn, a widowed mother and grandmother.
The Will County coroner says an autopsy concluded she didn't die in the fire but apparently had been killed before that.
Pathologists are waiting for further test results before ruling just how she died.
The Crest Hill police chief says it's a very active investigation and was not a random attack.

Preliminary Report: GPWS warning preceded approach crash
BOMBARDIER CL-600-2B19 CRJ-100ER, BREST, FRANCE, JUNE 22, 2003–Air France Flight 5672 departed Nantes Atlantique Airport (NTE) in France at 11:15 p.m. with a planned destination of Brest-Guipavas Airport (BES). As the Canadair Regional Jet 100ER (F-GRJS) approached Brest, the crew was cleared for a Runway 26L approach. The aircraft was seen deviating to the left of the runway centerline and above and below the glideslope. Approximately 25 seconds before impact the aircraft was well below the published glideslope and the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) activated. The pilot increased engine power but the aircraft touched down in a field and collided with several obstacles at 11:55 p.m. The captain was killed and the copilot and two passengers were injured. Everyone but the captain was able to exit the aircraft before the subsequent post-crash fire. Weather at the time of the accident was wind 320 degrees at nine knots, varying between 280 and 360 degrees. The visibility was 2,625 feet, with the Runway 26 RVR varying between 4,600 feet and 5,000 feet in fog and broken clouds at 200 feet.

October 25, 2014
The idea of a Staunton Teen Center has been kicked around many times in the past. Now, with the cooperation of some creative kids, supportive parents and committed staff, the program is pulling together. And the city is floating the bill.
The city has owned the Nelson Street building since 1994, but it's only now that local teens are taking charge. With some help from the Staunton Parks and Recreation Department, they're planning to start decorating at the end of the month.
"They want to do it themselves and I think that's an important part of the process because then they're going to respect the building and the program and everything that goes with it," said volunteer Amanda Myers.
So far, teens have done some serious brainstorming. They want a place to display their artwork and photography, a place to have workshops and learn, a place they can decorate themselves and simply hang out with friends.
Though the city is backing the project financially, your time and ideas are still needed. Decorating is set to start at the end of the month, so consider donating some paint brushes. And before you throw away that old sofa, call the Staunton Parks and Rec Department at (540) 332-3945 to see how you can help.
And kids, mark your calendars for Superbowl Sunday. That's when the Teen Center is planning on celebrating its Grand Opening.

the fine for failing to appear was $400. i paid $200. i was unable to pay the rest off now it is at $560. Next month they are placing a suspension on my license. what can i do to get more time to pay it off? after it is suspended can i apply for a restricted to and from work license?
Unfortunately, at this point it seems like the matter was adjudicated by the court and a final judgment was entered. You do not have the option of asking the court to lower or dismiss some of the civil assessments. What you need to do is contact the DMV directly and go to the court and make arrangements to make payments on these civil judgments. Good luck.
You need to go to the court where the ticket was issued and go to the GC services window to request that the matter be placed on calendar. The GC services may ask you to post the bail (if you hire an attorney you may be able to avoid posting bail first). Then you need to go to the traffic window and give the traffic window clerk your citation number or driver's license information and ask for an abstract, which will cost you $10. Once you obtain an abstract the DMV will be notified within 24 hours by the court and the hold on your license should be lifted. You then need to appear in court on your arraignment date to plead guilty/not guilty. I would advise hiring an attorney to do this for you - you should be able to find one to do all this for you for less than $500 and it will save you a ton of time and possibly money by getting the fines/penalties reduced. A Failure to Appear is a minor misdemeanor in most courts so get this taken care of as soon as possible.
You need to contact a lawyer. The license suspension will go into effect for the failure to pay unless the entire balance is paid off. The Court's lose jurisdiction over the payments once you have missed a payment. You can try to get a walk in appointment and explain to the Court what happened and try to get the court to reinstate your payments, but if it has been more than a few days they most likely won't. If you can borrow money or pay with a credit card, that will work also. Contact a lawyer.
