Please read the description carefully and do not rely on the picture. This product is for one 10lb weight. The picture is misleading in that they show multiple weights, but it is only one weight when you purchase it. I could not cancel my order so I had to wait untill it arrived and then return it.Read More
If you look at this one it is show that there are 8 piece of dumbells but after you order and receive it only one piece of 10 lb. So don't when you see the picture. Overstocks should change this picture to only one piece of dumbell instead of 8 pieces.Read More

About Human Germline Gene Editing
"Human germline modification" means deliberately changing
the genes passed on to children and future generations in other words,
creating genetically modified people. Human germline modification has for
many years been widely considered off-limits, for both safety and social
reasons. It is formally prohibited in more than 40 countries.
In recent years, a new generation of genetic engineering techniques,
known as "gene editing" or "genome editing," has
prompted speculation about their use in human embryos or gametes. In
2014, rumors intensified about researchers in the US and China working on
human embryos with the inexpensive, easy-to-use gene-editing tool
CRISPR. In April 2015, a research team at Sun Yat-sen University in China
published a report of an experiment in which they used CRISPR to edit a
gene associated with the blood disease beta- thalassemia in non-viable
human embryos.
The experiments were largely unsuccessful. But as gene editing tools
are refined in labs around the world, they are expected to allow easier,
cheaper, and more accurate insertion or deletion of genes than ever
This controversy marks a new chapter of a profoundly consequential
debate about the future of gene editing in humans. If perfected, somatic
gene editing (or "gene therapy") holds promise for helping
people who are sick, affecting only an individual consenting patient.
But editing the genes of human embryos in order to create genetically
modified people is very different, and raises grave safety, social, and
ethical concerns. These range from the prospect of irreversible harms to
the health of future children and generations, to concerns about opening
the door to new forms of social inequality, discrimination, and conflict.

What is Genome Editing?
Genome editing involves inserting, replacing or
removing DNA from a genome. These techniques use biologically engineered
nucleases that function as "molecular scissors" that can cut
the DNA at specified locations in the genome. Several genome-editing
techniques have been developed in recent years, beginning with ZFNs
(zinc-finger nucleases) and TALENs (transcription activator-like effector
nucleases). A significantly less expensive and easier to use technique
known as CRISPR was first widely noted in 2012.
CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic
Repeats) is the newest, simplest and least expensive genome-editing tool.
CRISPR was first identified in bacteria, where it functions as a defense
against foreign DNA, either viral or plasmid. Cas9 is an associated
protein. The CRISPR/Cas9 system relies on RNA-DNA base
pairing to identify the targeted location in a genome, to produce a
double-strand break in the existing DNA to disable the targeted gene, and to potentially insert new sequences at the point of the double-strand break.
Explanations of
What are ZFNs and
ZFNs (Zinc-Finger Nucleases) and TALENs (Transcription Activator-
Like Effector Nucleases) are other slightly older but still powerful
gene-editing tools. They are composed of programmable, DNA-binding modules
that enable a broad range of genetic modifications by inducing DNA
double-strand breaks at specific genomic locations. In other words, they
allow researchers to "cut out" specific genes, repair a
mutation, or incorporate a new stretch of DNA into a selected

Wanaka police issued $750 in fines to a tourist who was snapped crossing the centre line of the road 38 times while driving from Haast to Wanaka.
Constable Greg Nolet said police got a complaint about the person's driving on Monday night from a member of the public.
Officers found and followed the rental car in question near Wanaka and pulled it over once they saw it crossing the centre line.
The driver was issued with a $150 infringement notice.
However, yesterday, the member of the public who made the complaint showed Wanaka police photos of the car on their camera.
Police located the driver again who, "acknowledged themselves it was bad driving", Nolet said.
The driver was issued with a $600 fine for driving in a manner likely to cause damage, nuisance or injury.

Weather was beautiful today here in California and I was able to spend the morning down at San Onofre with a few great friends riding the new Canvas MNR`s! It was especially cool to see my friend Masa from Japan and Bucky(Uncle Buck Model) from Dana Point. The waves were in the one to two foot range but we had the perfect boards for the occasion. I rode the 6`12 today and was quite impressed by its glide in the less than perfect conditions. Great fun was had by all. Later after visiting a few of our surfboard designers/shapers around town I went up in the hills around Laguna Beach to run the dog and enjoy this beautiful state we live in!

WASHINGTON Ś The Internal Revenue Service did not follow the law when it failed to report the loss of records belonging to a senior IRS executive, the nationĺs top archivist told Congress Tuesday.
ôAny agency is required to notify us when they realize they have a problem,ö David Ferriero, archivist of the U.S. during a House Oversight and Government Reform committee hearing.
In June 2011, former IRS executive Lois Lernerĺs computer crashed, resulting in the loss of records that are sought in investigations into the agency targeting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. At the time, the agency tried to recover the records, but without success.
Republicans have questioned the timing of the hard drive crash, suggesting key records sought in the investigation have conveniently gone missing.
In a rare evening hearing before the same committee Monday, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said that he has seen no evidence anyone committed a crime when the agency lost emails that might shed light on the targeting of tea party and other political groups before the 2010 and 2012 elections.
Pressed by a congressman, Tuesday, Ferriero would not state that the IRS broke the law. He would only say that the agency didnĺt ôfollowö the law.
ôFederal agencies are responsible for preventing the unauthorized disposition of federal records, including their unlawful or accidental destruction, deletion, alteration, or removal from federal custody,ö he said. ôWhen an agency becomes aware of an incident of unauthorized destruction, they must report the incident to us.ö
The National Archives and Records Administration did not learn about the lost records until earlier this month, Ferriero said.
Tuesdayĺs was the third hearing held since it was disclosed on June 13 that some of Lernerĺs emails were missing due to a hard drive failure. Lerner has refused to answer questions, citing her Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself.
Monday night, committee chairman Darrell Issa, of California, subpoenaed White House counsel Jennifer OĺConnor to testify about her time at the IRS from May to November 2013. While at the IRS, OĺConnor helped the agency gather documents related to the congressional investigation.
On Tuesday, Issa called OĺConnor a ôhostile witness.ö
OĺConnor disagreed. ôIĺm definitely not hostile,ö she said.
Later in the hearing, Issa said he consulted with another member who is a former prosecutor and the proper term to describe OĺConnor is a ônon-cooperative witness.ö
House Speaker John Boehner, a Republican, on Tuesday said the Obama administration is not helping Congress get to the truth over the IRSĺ close scrutiny of conservative groups and the agencyĺs recent revelation that it lost emails related to that probe.
ôTheyĺve not only not fully cooperated, they havenĺt done a damn thing to help us get to the truth of what really happened,ö Boehner, of Ohio, said. ôLois Lerner refuses to tell us the truth, and then all of sudden, `Oh my goodness, we lose two yearsĺ worth emails.ĺ Listen, I grew up in a bar, this doesnĺt pass the straight face test.ö
Lerner headed the division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. The Oversight Committee is investigating the handling of applications from tea party and other political groups. In May, the House voted to hold Lerner in contempt of Congress. Congressional investigators want Lernerĺs emails to see if there is evidence that anyone outside the IRS was involved.
Koskinen said there was no evidence that Lerner intentionally destroyed the emails. To the contrary, he said the IRS went to great lengths trying to retrieve lost documents on Lernerĺs computer, even sending it to the agencyĺs forensic lab.
In 2011, the IRS had a policy of backing up emails on computer tapes, but the tapes were recycled every six months, Koskinen said. He said Lernerĺs hard drive was recycled and presumably destroyed.
The IRS was able to generate 24,000 Lerner emails from the 2009 to 2011 period because she had copied in other IRS employees. Overall, the IRS said it is producing a total of 67,000 emails to and from Lerner, covering the period from 2009 to 2013.
The IRS inspector general is investigating the lost emails, Koskinen said.

June 2016: TWO new LTB roadies born!!! Congrats to David & Toni and also to Eric & Dana. Still one more on the way at the end of summer, our band is fertile as hell right now.
We are really happy to announce that we have received our vinyl copies of our In Through the Red Door LP, in glorious red vinyl, they are for sale at Exclusive Co., at any local show, or email us to ask for shipping (email@example.com).
We had a blast once again at the Electric City festival in Kaukauna on 6/11, and we will be playing at Oshkosh's Main Street Music Festival on 7/30 . Three new songs recorded at Rock Garden, we may give one or two a go this summer at shows. Be looking for more dates after the baby break.
Kudos for our new album artwork to the legendary Chad Brady and Josh Martines, they gave us some stunning images for our album layout. Chad recently had his own DAY dedicated to him in Appleton, and there are guided walked scheduled around town to see all his famous murals around town. Definitely check out his amazing work. (www.facebook.com/cebradyart)
Also check out the new video shot by our recording wizard friend Marc Golde during our epic CD Release show, shot in the round in the very room that we recorded the new album
And a couple new live shots from Mill Creek thanks to Heather Landers
April 2015: Some great, new photos from our friend Joe Arena on the site, some new videos and some upcoming shows. Also this first new promo shot was done by none other than our friend David Jackson.
Working with Marc Golde at Rock Garden Studio in Appleton, WI the band completed it's latest CD "Into the Modern Wasteland" in late March 2013. Marc had an idea to make a music video while recording songs for the new album, this track called THE BLACK IN GREY was captured while we recorded the tracks and vocals. Much thanks to Marc for creating such a great capture of this new track written about the darker parts of our fair city. We had such a great experience that we are recording the new album at the new Rock Garden Studios this time around as well.

We found the room to have most everything that we needed. They are the processes of replacing the furniture and carpets...They are easily accessible to Rt. 87. The complimentary/continental breakfast was sufficient including sausage & scrambled eggs.
I did see '1' bug in the bathroom that appeared to be a bed-bug or tick...I checked the mattresses and found 'none'... I understand that is rather common these days. I would still stay there, again.

1. Introduction
[2] The difference between gross primary production (GPP) and total ecosystem respiration (TER) equals net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE), a commonly measured flux at eddy covariance tower sites across the globe [Baldocchi et al., 2001]. Investigation of GPP and TER provides important process-based information about biosphere-atmosphere carbon exchange. Unfortunately, GPP and TER cannot be measured directly during the daytime by eddy covariance and must be estimated using additional information from measurements and models. There are several methods available to estimate GPP and TER from NEE, including regression of nocturnal NEE with environmental driving variables (usually temperature) and extrapolation to daytime [Goulden et al., 1996; Reichstein et al., 2005]; prediction of TER from light response models [Lasslop et al., 2010; Yi et al., 2004]; scaling-up measurements made in leaf, stem, and soil chambers [Lavigne et al., 1997; Law et al., 1999; Zha et al., 2007]; calculation from ecosystem process models [Baldocchi and Wilson, 2001; Ogée et al., 2003a; Sacks et al., 2007]; and stable isotope approaches [Ogée et al., 2003b; Zobitz et al., 2008]. New methods are also emerging; for example, correlation analysis based on flux variance similarity [Scanlon and Kustas, 2010]. The most common NEE partitioning approach is to estimate TER using a regression of NEE on turbulent nights (assumed equal to TER) against temperature, then extrapolation of the TER-temperature relationship to daytime periods, where GPP is then calculated as NEE minus TER [Reichstein et al., 2005].
[3] Challenges and often large uncertainties are associated with each NEE partitioning method. For example, low nighttime turbulence and advection fluxes can result in problematic NEE measurements and make regression-based estimates uncertain [van Gorsel et al., 2009], light response models do not capture within-day variability [Reichstein et al., 2005], chamber measurements require scaling to represent the entire ecosystem [Lavigne et al., 1997], and stable isotope approaches are dependent on isotopic disequilibrium between GPP and TER, which is sometimes difficult to resolve [Ogée et al., 2004]. Additionally, different NEE partitioning methods provide different estimates of GPP and TER, leading to fundamental uncertainty about the process of interest [Desai et al., 2008; Griffis et al., 2004; Lasslop et al., 2010; Stoy et al., 2006]. Independent, measurement-based approaches to estimate GPP and TER are required.
[4] Recent studies have suggested the utility of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) uptake as a proxy for GPP, based on the close relationship between seasonal dynamics of OCS and CO2 mole fractions at regional and continental scales [Blake et al., 2008; Campbell et al., 2008; Montzka and Tans, 2004; Montzka et al., 2007; Sandoval-Soto et al., 2005] and the link between OCS and CO2 uptake at the leaf level [Seibt et al., 2010; Stimler et al., 2010a]. OCS is the most abundant reduced sulfur gas in the atmosphere, with mole fractions ranging from approximately 300–550 pmol mol−1 (pptv) near the surface, depending on season, and a global mean of approximately 500 pmol mol−1 [Montzka et al., 2007]. The tropospheric lifetime of OCS is relatively long, 2–4 years [Montzka et al., 2007; Suntharalingam et al., 2008], and the major OCS sinks are vegetation, soils, reaction with oxidizing radicals in the troposphere and stratosphere, and photolysis in the stratosphere; the major sources are oceans, volcanic eruptions, and anthropogenic emissions (e.g., biomass burning, coal-fired power plants, and certain industrial processes) [Watts, 2000]. Seasonal variation in the northern hemisphere is largely influenced by terrestrial vegetation uptake, while variation in the southern hemisphere is largely influenced by oceanic fluxes [Kettle et al., 2002; Montzka et al., 2007]. Studies of OCS aimed at understanding exchange in terrestrial ecosystems have measured OCS exchange in soils [Castro and Galloway, 1991; Kesselmeier et al., 1999; Liu et al., 2010; Simmons et al., 1999; Steinbacher et al., 2004; Van Diest and Kesselmeier, 2008] and vegetation [Brown and Bell, 1986; Goldan et al., 1988; Kesselmeier and Merk, 1993; Kluczewski et al., 1985; Sandoval-Soto et al., 2005; Yonemura et al., 2005].
[5] The few flux tower-scale OCS studies that have been conducted suggest linkage to GPP [Bartell et al., 1993; Mihalopoulos et al., 1989; Mihalopoulos and Nguyen, 2001; White et al., 2010; Xu et al., 2002], and thereby potential for OCS uptake as a proxy for GPP. Our goal is to explore the utility of OCS measurements as a means of quantitatively estimating GPP in micrometeorological studies. In the following theory section we provide a summary of relevant studies, including those conducted at the flux tower scale, and develop the theoretical framework to estimate GPP from OCS measurements. Then, we present measured vertical OCS mole fraction gradients from a temperate deciduous forest (Harvard Forest AmeriFlux site) and use them to estimate GPP by partitioning measured NEE (from eddy covariance). These GPP estimates are compared to GPP estimates from a widely used NEE partitioning method [Reichstein et al., 2005]. Finally, we evaluate the potential of OCS measurements for estimating GPP at other AmeriFlux sites, where OCS was not measured, by deriving vertical OCS mole fraction gradients from CO2 mole fraction profile measurements, and analyzing the relationship to GPP.

I have a Java servlet which calls another software (say S) over a TCP connection. This software S uses a network resource, and the output has to be retrived from a hyperlink(using wget).
Since it's the same hyperlink I need to download my result from (irrespective of the request), it results into incorrect results few requests. I basically need to lock the use of this network resource across different processes (I believe each call from the servlet is going to create a new process).
I tried to use ReentrantLock (but I guess it only works with threads and not accross processes).
Please let me know how can this be achieved.

Mejia to Minors; Will Return as Starter
When the New York Mets opened the 2010 season with top prospect Jenrry Mejia, a 20-year-old righty with scarce experience above A-Ball, in the big league bullpen instead of in a minor league rotation, the move was viewed as a short-sighted play by a GM and manager with tenuous job security.
The Mets have apparently changed course, however. According to ESPN New York's Adam Rubin, Mejia will return to the minors to get stretched out as a starter. With the oft-pummeled Oliver Perez banished to the 'pen and Jon Niese at least temporarily sidelined by a hamstring injury (R.A. Dickey to the rescue!), New York is short on starting options and hopes that Baseball America's #56 preseason prospect can return to take some turns later this summer.
Signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2007 for just $16,500, Mejia split the 2009 campaign between the High-A Florida State League and the Double-A Eastern League. The 6-0, 160 pound (listed) Mejia struck out 7.9 batters, walked 2.9 per nine and had a 61.7 percent ground ball rate in 50.1 FSL frames. In Double-A, he increased his whiff rate (9.5 K/9) and got plenty of grounders (56.3 GB%) in 44.1 innings, though Mejia issued more walks (4.7 BB/9).
Entering 2010, Baseball America described Mejia as possessing 90-96 MPH gas (touching 98 MPH) with "so much cutting and sinking action that it befuddles hitters." BA also liked his low-to-mid-80's changeup, while also noting that the off-speed pitch was inconsistent and that his breaking stuff needed plenty of work.
As a reliever in the majors with a praiseworthy fastball and rudimentary secondary stuff, Mejia did what you would expect: he reared back and fired. He used his heater (averaging 94.4 MPH on the radar gun) about 81 percent of the time, supplementing it with a high-70's curveball (10 percent) and a mid-80's change (nine percent).
In 17.1 low-leverage innings (0.84 Leverage Index), Mejia had 7.27 K/9, 4.15 BB/9 a 58.5 ground ball rate and a 4.23 expected FIP (xFIP). He had some issues getting ahead in the count, as a sub-50 first pitch strike percentage attests, but Mejia simply holding his own is a testament to his talent.
This is the right move for the Mets–Mejia's long-term value to the franchise is considerably higher as a potential front-line starter than it is as a reliever. He needs innings to build stamina, hone his control and develop his change and slider.
Similarly, Mejia's returning to a starting role should be viewed as a positive for fantasy owners. His high K/high ground ball skill set makes him highly coveted in keeper leagues. It's easier to scrounge for saves that it is to find a premium starting prospect.

there are no errors in log, server starts properly and all works fine, but killed by timeout by systemd. is this ok?
btw, `/opt/teamcity/bin/teamcity-server.sh start` starts teamcity and exit with 0 in 1-2 seconds, and all works ok

Can you change JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java to JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default or JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime ? The first one doesn't exist in arch (at least with OpenJDK) so it's not possible to run teamcity with default configuration.
Nowaker commented on 2014-12-18 19:26
@starquake Because my non-conflicting oraclejdk* AUR packages way predate how Java is handled today. You can make the package align with today's Java toolkit.
starquake commented on 2014-12-17 21:54
I'm preparing to make a pull request for version 9.0.0 but why does it need a symlink to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java instead of using /usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime or /usr/lib/jvm/default?
Nowaker commented on 2014-10-07 12:38
Thanks for letting me know. I'm short on time recently - please submit a pull request. https://github.com/Nowaker/aur-packages

The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Koran is not about the Koran per se; it is about Islam. It is impossible to fairly summarize or explain the Koran as a freestanding work to a Western reader without referencing two other sacred texts of Islam: the Hadiths ("Haditha" is Arabic), which are canonical compendiums of the traditions and sayings of Mohammed, and the Sira, which are "official" biographies of Mohammed. That is why most of this CIG book is actually not about the Koran per se, but about the Hadith and Sira. That is problem number one.
Problem number two is that this CIG book is basically written as a lowbrow polemic positing the superiority of Islam over the other Abrahamic (and world) religions. Most Moslems believe that the Koran is a copy of Allah's exact words transmitted to Mohammed via the Angel Gabriel. Unlike mainstream Christians, who believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired word of God, most Muslims believe that the Koran is a verbatim copy of "heavenly tablets" (a la the Ten Commandments) directly written by Allah himself and dictated to Mohammed -- hence "koran" means "recitation" in Arabic.
All of the foregoing is presented as self-evident Truth by the authors, who even go into a disputational textual analysis of the New Testament to prove that it is a "corrupted" text (a Koranic precept). The co-author, Brandon Toropov, a recent Muslim convert from Christianity, has a website that makes the same attacks on the New Testament. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem deconstructing the sacred texts of any religion. In fact, I'm all for it. My beef here is that the authors use the linguistic, historical and other scholarly tools of biblical higher criticism against the New Testament, but when it comes to the Koran, all such inquiry is strictly verboten and beyond the pale. This is the same inverted Islamic logic that allows the leaders and clerics of Saudi Arabia, for example, to defend their "right" to ban all infidel religions and influences, houses of worship, Bibles, crosses, etc., from Arabian territory, while demanding Americans and Europeans (also known as "Crusaders") never question any religious dogma re the Koran or Mohammed.
Scholars of the Koran who attempt to objectively analyze the Koran as literature routinely face death fatwas (death warrants from religious authorities). That is why the few non-Islamic scholars in the field have to use pseudonyms. The authors of this CIG volume do not provide the lay reader one iota of academic non-religious perspective in their summary of the Islamic holy book. Hence, this book really is pure da'wa, a tool of non-violent proselitization (there are two ways to spread Islam, one is Jihad, via warfare, the other is by word-of-mouth persuasion, da'wa). Thus, in the final analysis, I would probably recommend -- with a few notable reservations -- this work as a textbook for junior high-level pupils at English-speaking Sunni-Islamic religious schools.
This book does not deal at all with many all-important issues, such as the 1400-year-old Sunni-Shi'a sectarian divide. This CIG book was written by two normative-Islamic Sunnis, from a purely Sunni perspective. Would it be fair to non-Christian readers to have a CIG introductory book on the Old Testament written by two Catholic clerics with an analysis lifted whole from their catechism? That, in effect, is what the authors have done here.
When the authors deal with hot-button issues, such as women's rights (basically -- by contemporary Western standards -- females are second-class subjects by divine fiat) or the rights of apostates (none whatsoever), the authors' points and arguments devolve into pure twaddle. For example, under normative Shari'a (Islamic law, based on the Koran and Hadiths) penal law, an apostate must be put to death. Thus, it is perfectly okay to convert to Islam, but one leaves Islam on pain of death, as was recently illustrated in Afganistan. How do the authors justify this? They have the chutzpah to compare apostasy from Islam to being a traitor to one's country, a crime worthy of capital punishment even in the U.S.! In other words, even the authors admit in so many words that they do not consider Islam a religion of personal conscience, as almost all non-Muslims -- whether Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, animists, pagans, polytheists, atheists, panthiests, or agnosic (in other words, everyone but Muslims) -- nowadays beleive.
As to women's rights, the Wikipedia entry under "Stoning" notes that the criminal law statutes of Iran, which are in turn totally based on the Shari'a, prescribe the exact size of stones to be thrown at adultresses during lapidation (death by stoning) -- they can't be too big, because the condemned sex-criminal will die too quickly, and they can't be too small, because death may take too long.
Yup, the devil is in the details of Koranic-Shari'a law, details completely airbrushed out from the Complete Idiot's Guide to the Koran.
If you want more than pabalum, more than sugar-coated Islamic propaganda, order A Simple Koran: Readable and Understandable, recently published by the Center for the Study of Islam (CSPI), WHICH CONTAINS EVERY WORD OF THE KORAN, translated into modern, middlebrow/"newspaper" English, along with a reader-friendly chronological ordering of the chapters, context provided by commentary, and references to the Hadiths and Sira to give meaning and perspective to the Koranic text. Alternatively, An Abridged Koran: Readable and Understandable, by CSPI, is likewise available from Amazon.com.
Like the Bible, the Koran has some weird parts. Where the Bible has things like Noah having kids when he's 800 years old and a guy's daughters sleeping with their dad because they feel bad about his being widowed, the Koran says stuff like beating women and killing converts. The guys writing the book don't duck this point, they just say it's got to be taken into context rather than literally. But wait!! How can they have me interpret words in the Koran after telling me that the words in the Koran are direct from God and can't be interpreted? That's where I kind of fell out of step with the book.
That and little details like Shari's Law and Apostasy. Apostasy is the rule that if a Muslim (which I guess means born to a Muslim family because Muslims don't have common tribal ancestry like the Jewish people for example), decides that being Catholic or Buddhist is more fitting for him or her, he or she should be killed. That part is pretty clear and the book doesn't dance around it. Which is not to say that the Koran doesn't have a lot of good in it for securing social order, but.......................
I think these books, like The Koran, The Bible and even the Torah had their place. Before social systems were established and people started acting more civilized toward each other, budding civilizations had books with a divine imprimatur to codify civilizing behaviors and answer imponderables. But that was then. This book, the Idiot's Guide, wasn't particularly helpful and seemed more contradictory than explanatory. So I guess that means a Fatwa for me, eh?
What I found is that much of the book is evangelistic propoganda. While it seems to do a good job of describing the basic beliefs of Islam, its comparisons to Christianity and Judaism misinterpreted or misrepresented basic Christian and Jewish beliefs, and took statements from their respective sacred books out of context.
I felt that this book tended to shy-away from seriously discussing some of the more controversial aspects of the faith, other than blanket dismissals of claims by many non-muslims on issues such as promotion of violence, for instance. However, I would need to research additional sources for more information on the Koran and Islam (and the history of Islam) to verify this is really the case.
While I have serious reservations about the presentation of the material, especially its one-sided nature, the book did help me better understand the Koran, its unique qualities, and its importance to Islam. Therefore, I would recommend it as a basic introduction to the Koran, but the prospective reader needs to be aware that it does a very poor job of comparing and contrasting Islam and the Koran with other faiths and their sacred texts.
The authors' love of Islam and the Koran pervade the book and it is the most endearing part. Unfortunately they deal too much in generalities. And they don't provide some basics. For example the Koran's suras (chapters) are printed in order by descending length. The authors didn't think to provide a more useful order to read the Koran. This is something routinely provided for people studying the Bible.
As others have mentioned, the book spends too much time defending Islam. The authors lapse into lengthy defenses of the Koran's sections that permit wife-beating and amputating the hands of thieves.

Q3-2012 Round of the Anime Character Guessing Game (with pics ). July through September 2012
Q2-2012 Round
Q2-2012 results
1. A character's pic will be posted, and everyone has to guess who that character is.
Note - Check the last 2-3 pages for the latest pictures that are in play.
2.Clues are optional, but only 4 clues (1-2 clues for the first day and if no one gets it during the first day, 1-2 more clues can be added on the second day) are allowed. Plus spoiler tags should be included because there might be people who rather not use the clues. Clues can be given at any time, and participants can also ask for clues, but make sure it doesn't exceed the limit (2 clues/day).
a. Clues should only be in word form
b. Clues must be directly related to either the character or the anime the character is from.
3.ANYONE can make a guess (even those who were able to get an answer right before), but it's only one guess per person, per picture. Once you get it wrong, you can't make anymore guesses, and you'll have to wait for the next picture. For guesses, you have to include:
a. Character's full name or popular name/s (for characters with multiple names)
b. Series where the character came from (Series' popular name is sufficient)
3.1 Spoiler tags for guesses are mandatory. Guesses without spoiler tags will not be considered official.
3.2 No fake guesses. If you already know your guess is wrong, then don't post. Guesses that are obviously fake will not be counted official.
4.Only the one who submits the pic can verify whether a guess is right or wrong. Participants will be notified through the thread.
5.Whoever gets it right first will be the next one to post a pic. You can either post:
a.Part of a character's face or body (Example Here)
b.A character that you think is not that popular (Up to supporting characters only, so characters like "random girl sitting on a park bench" are not allowed. Character of choice must be significant to the plot and/or is recognizable)
c.A pic showing the character of your choice wherein the character doesn't look the way he/she usually does. (Example Here)
d. Only choose characters from anime that has [at least] one episode released/aired in Japan.
e. Please don't use manga pics - this is an ANIME character guessing game after all. This is because the art in the anime version may differ from the manga version.
f. All pictures must be at least 100x100 in size. Also, editing (other than cropping) is NOT allowed.
g. If people other than yourself are likely to question whether what's being depicted is actually a character, then you shouldn't use the image.
*Please avoid posting pics containing spoilers.
6. If no one gets it right after 10 guesses (or if no one gets it right for 2 days, regardless of the number of guesses), ANYONE (even those without points) can post a pic but it's first come, first serve. This rule shall also be observed if there is no new pic in 2 days.
a. If there is an outstanding guess (made within the time limit) that has not yet been confirmed, please be patient and wait for confirmation. If there is no confirmation in 24 hours, rule 6 will take effect.
7.Just so it doesn't take a long time to load, I would like to ask that pictures would only be in JPEG/GIF format and that the picture size does not exceed 100kb.
8.No off topic comments or chat room speak. Selenta asked me to provide this rule so this thread won't get locked.
9.I'll be acting as referee, and I'll keep score. Score updates will be posted at the end of each month. If you have any questions, comments and other concerns, just PM me about it instead of posting on the thread.
10. While it may be possible to find the answer through Google search by image or other image search engines, this defeats the purpose of the game, so their use is prohibited. However, hints provided for the image in play are fair game for search engines.
SCORING: Guessing correctly gives you one point.
If you need a quick reference of all the pics used in the past, then please click this link:
DerekTheRed's spreadsheet
This is just for reference, in case you don't want to post a pic that has not been posted before.
1.Mini-games can only be initiated if there is NO picture in play. This situation arises when the previous pic has been answered, but the person who was able to get it hasn't returned to post his/her pic. However, rule 6 prevails over this rule. This means that, if there are no new pics for 2 days, ANYONE can post a new pic and that pic will be for the main game.
1.a Please indicate that you are playing the mini-game. Simply type "mini-game" in bold at the beginning of your post.
2.It's first come, first serve.
3.Pictures can be:
a.A picture of a significant item from an anime. "Personified" objects are allowed to a certain extent (Such as Alastor of Shakugan no Shana). Keep in mind that the object should be more inanimate than alive. Such pictures must come from scenes within the anime they are from.
b.A picture of a memorable scene from an anime.
c."Living things" within a picture are allowed, as long as they're not major characters (or it is almost impossible to tell who the character is).
4.Game ends as soon as the main pic is posted, whether or not the mini-game pics have been answered. At that point, the answer to the mini-game pics can be revealed.
5.There is no continuity between mini-games. Mini-games are separate and distinct from one another.
6.No points from mini-games can be garnered.
7.The main game rules should also be observed during mini-games. In fact, the main game rules will always supercede the mini-game rules.

???GTA 5??? and ???Watch Dogs??? cheat systems compared
A comparison has been produced in regards to the cheat system of 'GTA 5' and also the upcoming 'Watch Dogs.' According to a study from GameSpot on April 13, an admirer asked Jonathan Morin should the new intellectual property will be experiencing any cheats. The creative director responded by nevertheless the development team currently doesn't have a plans to implement a real feature.
Ubisoft seems to be going in a new direction with 'Watch Dogs' compared to what Rockstar Games did with 'GTA 5.' The fifth main installment from the 'Grand Theft Auto' series works on the somewhat unique system by which players can activate several cheats. Doing so will disable support for achievements and trophies. The codes also is not used during missions.
Developers happen to be less incline on including cheats in recent games. Popular devices like the 'Game Genie' and 'Game Shark' may also be no longer relevant. Other potential reasons behind the extinction of codes can sometimes include the advent of achievements, DLC, trophies plus the increasing popularity of online multiplayer.
Open-world game titles like 'GTA 5' and 'Watch Dogs' conserve the most from cheats. The codes present an instant sandbox scenario for players to learn around. Some cheats also give more capability to the end users, going for the opportunity to try out the computer game in one other way.
'GTA 5' was already released last year on Sept. 17 while 'Watch Dogs' was originally designed to come out late recently. However, Ubisoft thought we would delay the making until May 27 of 2014 on the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. One in the reasons which are cited states that this publisher wanted 'Watch Dogs' to arrive at the same degree of critical success as 'GTA 5' along with the rest on the games on the series. You can find a screen with the forthcoming game through the official Twitter page using the photo attached on top from the article.
Here's more information about Dragon City unlimited everything hack have a look at our own internet site.

The headline shouts: "Zika virus could be bigger global health threat than Ebola, say health experts". The World Health Organization is meeting soon to determine whether the Zika virus should be declared an international emergency. While the recent news about Zika virus is disturbing, I am skeptical about some of the claims I am reading in the press. I have seen news which links the spread of Zika virus to climate change (1, 2) and even some claims that the "Zika outbreak Epicenter [is] In Same Area Genetically-Modified Mosquitoes Released In 2015". Let's examine the evidence and the risk factors so that we can decide for ourselves. Educators, consider using this example as a current model to discuss 'reading the news' with your students.
First, there is evidence that globalization and world travel represent a major factor in the rapid spread of diseases. It is believed that the Zika virus was brought to Brazil during the recent World Cup event. The Amazon basin was already a tropical rain forest with ample mosquito populations. Once the virus arrived in the blood of a sports fan or soccer player, all it took was for a mosquito to bite them and the rest is history. From European bunnies in Australia to zebra mussels in the Great Lakes, there is a long list of invasive species inadvertently transported by humans into a new habitat since the earliest days of sail. Now with widespread jet travel, the opportunity for disease vectors to invade new countries is a major problem monitored by the World Health Organization and national health agencies.
Notwithstanding the dramatic and troubling rise of babies born with microcephaly, Zika virus seems to cause only a mild fever, skin rash and conjunctivitis. These symptoms last for 2-7 days. On the other hand, the death toll for Ebola in West Africa exceeded 4,000, a mortality rate of almost 50%. There were huge concerns about keeping this virus isolated in West Africa and preventing it spreading around the world.
Aedes aegypti is the mosquito responsible for spreading Zika virus. This mosquito, found mainly in tropical regions, is also responsible for the transmission of dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. Dengue is a leading cause of serious illness and death among children mostly in urban and semi-urban areas of some Asian and Latin American countries. Chikungunya symptoms include an abrupt onset of fever frequently accompanied by joint pain, muscle pain, headache, nausea, fatigue and rash. This virus can lead to chronic disease. Yellow fever is now controlled somewhat through vaccination. At one time it led to devastating outbreaks. The symptoms include fever, muscle pain, headache, shivers, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. In worst case scenarios, a toxic phase results in death after 10 – 14 days.
With regard to risk, we in Canada probably need to worry more about superbug infections causing death. Published statistics indicate that "there are more than 200,000 Canadians who acquire a healthcare-associated infection each year and that 8,000 of them die as a result." And let's not forget that the number of motor vehicle fatalities is about 2,000 per year. Between the years 2000 and 2008, the leading cause of death among young people under 30 years of age was motor vehicle accidents.
So, is the Zika virus a bigger threat than the Ebola virus? Perhaps it is, now that hard working scientists and health care workers have developed ways to contain and control Ebola. Are there other things to worry about? Statistics say yes. Let's continue to 'read the news' with a skeptical eye.

"The Indian way of life provides the vision of the natural, real way of life. We veil ourselves with unnatural masks. On the face of India are the tender expressions which carry the mark of the Creator's hand. In the face of an Indian, you can see the natural glory of life, while we have covered ourselves with an artificial cloak."
