We are witnessing history unfold before our very eyes, and in its unfolding history repeats itself as always. Baghdad is under siege, and soon enough it will fall under the sword of its latest invaders. Once more the fabled and once-glorious city of Islam is under attack; once more the Muslim world is forced to bear witness to its own impotence and paralysis; once more the opportunity for the Muslim world to make its voice heard has been squandered.
Baghdad, the city of the famous blue mosques and venerable universities; the renown capital of the great Caliph Harun al-Rashid; the cosmopolitan metropolis whose streets were once lit while the capitals of Europe lay in darkness, is again under attack. In our anguish and despair, the Muslim world seeks solace and comfort in the past. Nostalgia tugs at our sleeves and tempts us to escape into a collective memory which is our final asylum in a world gone mad.
We have seen this before, though I am not referring to the bombardment of Baghdad that took place during the first Gulf War of 1990-91, but rather the rape of Baghdad that took place centuries ago, when the Mongols broke through the frontiers of Dar'ul Islam and wrought havoc and mayhem in one of the greatest cities of the Muslim world.
It was in 1258 that the Mongol army numbering 200,000 soldiers led by Hulagu Khan conquered Baghdad and brought down the Abbasid Caliphate. The Abbasid ruler Caliph Mustasim and his sons were sewn into carpets and trampled to death by Mongol horsemen. Once the walls of the city had been breached, the victorious barbarians showed no mercy and gave no quarter: Men, women and children were slaughtered by the thousands and the butchery did not stop till the murderers' thirst for blood and rapine was sated and their swords blunt.
The Mongol invasion of the mid-13th century led to carnage and destruction on a truly epic scale: The famous universities and libraries of Baghdad were razed to the ground, and with them hundreds of books on science, philosophy, law and the arts went up in flames. Thousands of poets, philosophers, scientists, scribes, mystics and artisans were killed or captured. The loss of Baghdad meant that one of the brightest stars in the Muslim constellation had been put out. So deep was the sense of loss and trauma that even the poets could not put it into words. Only the muted cries of a thousand mothers could be heard. The Muslim world hung its head in shame, carrying the guilt for not being able to defend one of its greatest cities, home to some of its grandest and most sublime achievements. In the gloom that followed, the Muslim world slipped into its own dark age.
From this all-consuming darkness was born a fear and contempt for the Other, and sure enough this anger and frustration soon found itself expressed in words that were persuasive and beguiling. Not long after, one of the greatest thinkers of Islamic history – The Hanbalite scholar Taqial-din ibn Taymiyya (b.1263- d.1328) – formulated his own understanding of Islamic law and philosophy with a decidedly defensive and confrontational approach to it. Forever on the defensive against enemies and external threats – both real and imagined – Ibn Taymiyya's own philosophy was one that sought to defend the integrity and purity of Islam and normative Muslim life at all costs. Despite his considerable intellectual achievements, ibn Taymiyya could never shake off his fear and loathing of alterity and otherness: the trauma of invasion and defeat was so great that it haunted him and his generation forever.
Ghosts of the past
Till today, the ghost of ibn Taymiyya lives with us still. His ideas and concerns were later reflected by scores of Muslim thinkers, intellectuals and activists who developed a persecution psycho-pathology that made them fearful of the outside world. Cognisant of the fact that the Muslim ummah was surrounded by enemies, they developed a philosophy and approach to Islam that was reactionary and defensive. From the incarceration psycho-pathology of Sayyid Qutb (born in the grimy prisons of post-Nasserite Egypt) to the xenophobic and narrow normative Islam of the Taliban, we have been forced to live in this state of mental and intellectual siege. The collective mental
homeland of the Muslim consciousness has suffered a blockade of fresh ideas and innovations for so long that we have fallen behind in the race for development and progress.
What is worse, our fear of the Other has become so deeply internalised today that we turn against ourselves, slaughtering each other in the name of Islam and in order to protect the faith from its detractors. It is bad enough that Muslims are being murdered on a daily basis all over the world - from Chechnya to Kashmir, Afghanistan to Mindanao – now Muslims are killing each other as well, in their fervour to eliminate the 'enemies within' thanks to the practice of takfir (accusing other Muslims of being kafirs) that has
become the norm in so many Muslim societies. Fearful of enemies within and without, we have become our worst enemies.
To compound the situation even more, normative Islam today has been arrested by political elites – many of whom are really nothing more than cronies to their paymasters in Washington – who have likewise adapted and utilised this conservative interpretation of Islam to suit their own ends. In most cases, the conservative mindset that we have not been able to rid ourselves of has been used by Muslim states that have proven to be the greatest threat to the peace, security and livelihood of Muslims themselves. Arab-Muslim governments (rightly) condemn the killing of Palestinians by the Israeli Zionist regime, but let us not forget that thousands of Arab Muslims have also been murdered by their own governments in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and elsewhere. We live in the dark ages indeed. What can be done under such circumstances? Can the Muslim world ever rise again, or will we be plunged deeper in a bottomless abyss of darkness and despair?
Yaumul Qiamah for the Muslim world
"On the (day of) Qiamah (mankind) will be confronted with the biggest imaginable earthquake, and will be powerless to control it… When possessed with power, man tends to become haughty and over-confident. But when the earth is so shaken that the mountains come tumbling down and it is engulfed by the mighty waves of the ocean, he will flee in utter bewilderment, leaving all his possessions behind him. To his horror, he will find that there is no escape route whatsoever."
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, 'News of the Last Day' (1991)
The devastation that has been unleashed on Iraq and its people is symbolic of the devastation of the entire Muslim ummah. This is, for many, the beginning of the end. But the end of what, and of whom?
Rather than slip further into a state of collective depression, anxiety and fear – which might lead us to withdraw deeper into ourselves and to seek refuge in the futile escapism – we can and should look at this disaster as our day of yaumul qiamah (day of resurrection) in the here-and-now. Indeed, one could argue that this moment has been long overdue, and there is some hikmah (wisdom) in the madness we see all around us.
The tragic fall of Baghdad in 1258 led to the collapse of the Abbasid dynasty and the end of the golden age of Islam. It also forced Muslims to retreat into collective isolation and self-exile from the rest of the world, putting them on the defensive and dampening their faith in their own culture and civilisational achievements. But let us not forget that it was also during the darkest hours of crisis that the Muslim ummah managed to rouse itself and put its brave face forward: the lesson of the battle of Badr, when the Muslims managed to defend themselves against opponents who outnumbered them comes to mind. For it is then, at the nadir of our existence, that the true mettle and spirit of Muslims must show itself.
The challenge that lies before the Muslim ummah and Islamist movements in particular now is how to rise up in the wake of this terrible calamity. This is our second rising, and we must rise up to the challenge that awaits us. Now, more than ever, we have to learn how to fight for peace, democracy and the rule of law – both domestic and international – in this Hobbesian universe where there is no longer ethics and morality in politics.
If Muslims have anything to offer to the world, it is the emancipatory and transformative message of Islam itself which we all carry in our hearts. Islam is a religion of peace but Islam is not a 'passively pacifist' religion: Peace does not come by itself, it has to be fought and struggled for.
The message of Islam is one of social transformation, emancipation and the harmonisation of human existence to higher universal laws that transcend the boundaries of race, gender, class and politics. It is a restorative project, which seeks to position human beings – as rational agents bearing the mark of their creator – as the primary force of change in the world. Islam seeks to unite rather than divide, and to bring harmony and balance where chaos reigns supreme.
Today the sphere of undecidability and contingency happens to be the international arena of global politics itself. The tragedy of Iraq is but a symptom of a world that has no higher governing force or capacity of self-regulation. The international financial system is in tatters and the developing economies of the world are held hostage by bandit-kings who run the financial houses and banks of the world. Humanity's capacity for positive and productive development has been distorted by the proliferation of arms and the international arms trade. Human beings themselves have been reduced to the status of passive consumers rather than creative agents.
In the midst of this chaos that comes under the name of globalisation, the demonisation of Muslims and the attacks on Muslim states is but a blip on the radar screen. The question is not how the tragedy in Iraq could have happened, but rather why haven't we seen more of the same?
Islamist organisations and movements must therefore rise to this challenge by mobilising people towards the transformative and restorative project of Islamism. Islam's concerns for justice and equality needs to be translated into socially-realisable goals directed towards correcting the political, economic and ideological imbalances that exist in the world around us. Our understanding of victory and success (al-falah) has to be understood in concrete political, economic and social terms.
Unless and until we re-orient our struggle and make it a truly universal one that serves humanity as a whole, we will never be able to get out of this impasse of our own making. Centuries of self-isolation means that we have become a marginal constituency that is negligible and vulnerable. We need to locate ourselves once again at the centre of societal advancement and progress. But this can only happen if we reintegrate ourselves into the mainstream of global politics and social currents, and take full advantage of the technological, economic and educational advances we see all around
us. We need to use the tools of social science and modern technology so that the message of political Islam can be translated to a wider audience in a way that is inclusive and not divisive.
From now on, Muslims can no longer remain silent. On every single issue of global import – from the anti-globalisation campaign to the struggle for democracy, from the campaign against Western arms exports to the struggle against the manipulation of the IMF, World Bank and Western multinationals – we must be present and we must make our voice heard.
Let us not look upon Iraq with despair, hatred or misguided emotionalism. Nor should we slip back to a politics of isolationism or nostalgia. And let us not fall into the trap of simplistic binary oppositions that divide the world into 'the West' and 'Islam'. If anything is clear by now, it is that the 'West' is not homogenous or uniform. We ought to be thankful to the millions of Europeans, Americans and others who stood up against the US aggression in Iraq and who defied their own governments in order to stand up for justice and common humanity. These are our real allies, our true friends, and we need to rebuild these bonds with other communities who stood by us during our weakest moment.
From this, a new global coalition for justice, democracy and the rule of law can emerge. Should such a project come into being, Muslims must ensure that they are not left out or their voices unheard. For that reason we need to stir ourselves from our paralysis and slumber, and once again take up our role as actors on the stage of global politics. This, in a sense, is our social obligation (fardhu kifayah) in the age we live in. And let us not
forget that the future of Islam rests on our shoulders today, and that we will be held accountable for our deeds, misdeeds and lack of doing soon enough:
`And every man's deeds have We fastened around his neck, and the day of
Resurrection will We bring forth a book which shall be proffered to him wide
open: (It will be said to him) `Read your record: This day there need be
none but yourself to make out an account against you'.(Qur'an, 7:13-14)

A new BlackBerry Torch commercial has hit the airwaves. This one focuses on the media capabilities as it features DJ Cassidy. As well, it highlights the newly introduced WebKit browser by showing off how the tabs feature works. Considering this was posted to the BlackBerry Youtube account, I'm taking that as a sure sign that Research In Motion is still going to be hitting hard when it comes to advertising over the next little while. What do you all think of the new commerical? And most importantly, RIMs efforts these days with their marketing?
Another new BlackBerry Torch commercial starts airing, RIM marketing still working hard

Another new BlackBerry Torch commercial starts airing, RIM marketing still working hard
You got that right! I know a lot of people who want an iPhone just because they see all the cool stuff it can do on the commercials. Well, hey, look, BlackBerrys can do cool stuff too, ha!
(Just don't call me a hypocrite because I drool every time I see an iPad commercial....LOL....how long until the BlackPad comes out....? Sigh....)
thought it was a notch up in the advertising stakes.
keep it up RIM
Getting Rid of old stock.
I love rim.
I'm seeing alot of marketing in the Oovoo chats ive been having lol
BlackBerry and RIM have always been like 'crackberry nations' kid brother...WE can pick on him all we want...BUT don't LET me find out ANYONE else is...its great to FINALLY see RIM stepping up...NOW let's get that Torch AWAY from AT&T and to a REAL carrier!!!...LOL...Storm3=Torch2??????????????
JO iphone is iphone, the PalmBerry torch 9800 is not even attractive, as soon you buy it and take it out of the box, is going to become obsolete.
Guys, get a droid htc evo, motorola, or iphone don't waste your money in this junk no offense, but i will never ever buy another blackberry, and i really regret switch my iphone for one of this junk. and i have 9 in less a year..
Don't be blind, there is more options..
The Evo is no doubt an awesome phone and, quite possibly, the best smart phone on the market this week.
But, other than ditching my 4-month-old (to me) refurbished Bold 9700 to buy this Torch, I don't see the point of chasing the latest tech unless you earn money from reviewing them or are independently wealthy.
I love my Torch and it doesn't feel obsolete yet.
Not sure why dickheads like you still come to this site. Lot's can say the same the other way. As i've said a ton on here I had an iPhone and didn't like it.
The difference is I don't bother going to the iPhone websites at all because my iPhone is in the trash can [well actually at the back of same box since i can about the environment :-) ] .
I think you really want your berry back, I don't ever want an iPhone again. Also I love my Torch and don't give a flip about android phones.
is to admit you have a problem.
You had an iPhone and did not like it?
- missed having to do a battery pull daily (or more)?
- missed the 4 minute reboot time when installing an App?
- did not like having 200,000 or more Apps vs like maybe 10,000 Apps?
- did not like having a fast browser that actually can be used to surf the web?
- missed the slow user interface on BB?
yada yada
Come on 3+ years later the Torch is not even close to first iPhone. RIM cannot even get a decent browser in the BlackBerry? After all this time? OK OS6 is an improvement but still falls short of iPhone and Android. Oh and some brilliant Exec / Product Mgrs decided there is no reason to provide a browser update to the installed base? What - that is the stupidest move. Anyone who touches an iPhone or Android and uses the browser will go - why am I paying for a data plan monthly when I cannot even use it on BB?
Torch is a "who cares". Not quite the turd the Storm was/is, but pretty lame.
In my short time with it I had multiple crashes, regular battery pulls and still a less than satisfying browser experience. Email is fine. But the App choices are so limited. It is big, bulky and in slider mode hard to hold.
Of course the joy of looking for "leaked" release crap, hoping it would solve my issues...only discover no.
I just looked in the mirror and said - F-this - I am not going thru this again... RIM needs a major shakeup...
Only reason I am here is looking for 9300 curve 3G update (what a joke for the longest time I could not even install App World???). Oh god at least when it does not freeze it is fairly responsive. But why do I want to pay for a data plan and have a tiny screen with a junk browser (they say 9300 will support OS6 - sometime - forget it.)
Idiots at RIM should have focused on updating installed base with a browser that works, stop the crashes/reboots/battery pulls and cut the boot time by 10x. Why the heck they cannot do that is beyond me. No build the pig Torch with the crap OS6. Brilliant. Bloody smart thinking!!!
Missed doing the battery pull? Nope, but hated it when my apps crashed ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! Apple set it up so when apps fail you got back to the home screen. To some that's convenient to me super frustrating. It's like apple saying f-you back to home sucker :).
Your apple never froze? Mine did. Reboot fast? can't recall probably seemed like it but I'm not sure given that you had to hold the top button for about 20 sec alone to make it reboot.
A million apps?? Nope didn't like when I typed in radio and got about 250 radio apps, hey APPLE JUST GIVE ME ONE THAT WORKS A-HOLES!!! And weed out all the ones that F-ing crash or shut off ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apple browser was better, absolutely, but when I'm at work I have a 24inch screen when I'm at home I have something called a lap top, it also has a bigger screen. I soon found I didn't want to browse on i-Phone more than 20 min per week, not enough reason to give up my bb, and now with Torch no tradeoff at all.
BB interface isn't slow compared to iPhone. Yes iPhone seems more fluid but you have to keep bouncing back to the home screen to get anything done. Recall no multi-tasking with the old i-Phone.
In addition a few important factors, that really made me dump my iPhone
(1) iPhone doesn't work as a phone. Lousy call quality, will not connect to foreign networks reliably...
I sent CRUCIAL emails after landing at several airport and they didn't go through, even though my phone said they did. Come on apple that stuff is super important!!!
(2) Too f-ing expensive to operate if you travel internationally, open an attachment and pay your carrier $200!!! Yes, it happened to me.
The longer I have my Torch the more I like it in all respects. I first thought what most did, it's kinda crappy looking compared iPhone 4, but the more time I have I think, not really. Phone 4 is a slab of glass after a bit who gives a fig looking at it. Torch is more interesting.
Agree should have been faster, maybe better screen, but see 3 above. RIM did make tradeoffs and went for a phone that lasts (battery wise).
Am I disappointed it doesn't have a sexy screen? Yes a bit, but then I recall Apple: Nights out with friends, hey call so an so, pull out the iPhone Dough! F-ing dead again!!!!!
No thank you Mr. Jobs......
Everyone has their own taste. If they don't mind a laggy obsolete phone then let them enjoy it. Why does it seem to bother u so much?
i bought the samsung epic and was happy for about 8 hours. then reality set in... it just didn't fit my lifestyle. I literally took it back the next day.
see: http://forums.crackberry.com/f40/has-anyone-asked-rim-521037/index8.html
the android phones are fun to play with but, that's about it. BB does what it does and does it well.. it's just tired. RIM is in a death spiral but it's a very long and slow one. i happily went back to my old 8830. it does what it does.. and does it well, there is no substitute.
It's been playing for at least a week in the US, but at least the new commercials seem more informative.
As far as DJ-ing goes, I remember a DJ was using a Bold 9000 with the stereo gateway at a RIM party - wasn't that like two years ago (when either the gateway or the 9000 was announced)? There may be better options available for DJs and such, but it is interesting that so much can be done from such devices.
more memory, lol silly goose.
How do you dig a hole for yourself. Easy the phone you put out doesnt sell based on its lack of (most things) a high end phone should have, but you keep pushing out expensive commercials to show it off....
As phonearena put it, the Droiiidd only helped blow it out.
I don't get why everyones hating on RIM saying "switch to droid, switch to droid"
What is droid? It's an OPERATING SYSTEM - NOT A PHONE!!!
Does that mean we should go and buy the Sony Ericsson X10 mini just cos it's Android? At least be specific, and if ur gonna say "htc evo", then 1) You don't belong on this site and 2) There is a reason the 9800 is in a different price range to that of the Evo, so I'm sure it would be appreciated by a lot of crackberry addicts as well as me if you would stop comparing them because it makes no sense!
Rant over
Yeah, you're right. Funny to see people trolling that aren't informed. Android is the OS that phones run. DROID is a line of phones by Verizon (note...Verizon... not Motorola, not HTC). Recent Android-based phones on Verizon have been branded "Droid" phones. i.e. Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Incredible, Motorola Droid X, Motorola Droid 2 and on and on....
yes, i like the direction RIM is taking with marketing. i wish they just bombard the airwaves with BlackBerry commercials and ads. RIM needs the exposure that it can do just as much as what the android devices and iphone 4 (minus facetime) out of the box. FYI, i don't think it's fair to compare the devices after use and downloading apps. :P
oh right, what's up with the trolls in this blog? i mean if you're such fanboy/fangirl, why bother coming to such a blog that is solely talking about RIM/BlackBerry?
I second this 200%. If it weren't for those two factors (well, the UI is fugly but maybe themes could fix that) there would be no question which phone I'm getting next.
Unfortunately since the screen sucks big time and the processor will be 1/2 the speed of new phones by the time my contract is up in Jan, I'm probably gonna have to look elsewhere.
RIM, the money you spent on commercials (and the ads in the Boston subway, no way those were cheap) was a total and complete waste, when you could have put those resources into making a better phone.
You'll never be able to target the same market as Apple and Android if you keep worrying about battery life more than performance. Leave the shitty spec phones with 10 day battery life to those who need it, don't make it into your flagship phone.
It's pointless advertising for the Torch since it's only available on a crappy network that already has nice phones like the iphone. No one's going to drop their carrier just to get a Torch and the "all servers/circuits are busy, try your call again later" message.
The ads would have to be geared toward current AT&T customers. With that in mind, the Torch's ad for its media capabilities won't do much when the iphone is basically a media device with phone capabilities (ipod with a phone slapped on).
I would have upgraded to the Torch if it was on the Sprint network. Instead, I am going to drop my blackberry and get an android phone this weekend (probably the Samsung Epic). I'm tired of trying to surf on my blackberry and constantly waiting for the clock icon to go away (the one that basically says the phone is thinking...just like how Windows has the hourglass). I need to upgrade my phone, but it seems like Android is the only way to go. :(
With the new release of the beta OS (.214), the phone OS great and works as advertised. This phone should have been released with this.
I guess I'm not like most, but I don't have time to play games and deal with thousands of apps. This is why I stay with BB. It gets me my email and information in a professional manner. The BB is all about getting things done...now. Still has features to satisfy the in-between times and after hours enjoyment.
One more thing...why are people who have jumped ship and found other devices here posting replies? Guess they secretly wish they still had a BB.
hell, no, after 9 months with the bb storm 1 and 2 with verizon. before this junk i had the iphone 2g and 3g. man i regret always switch my fine phone for that bb. just for the bb messenger.. because i need just to be in touch with friends thru that service, but, i finally make people use whatsapp their are happy with their piece of S. blackberry i'm happy with my iphone. a least i don't have i don't have to pull the battery 6 times or more a day, or any time that blackberry frezze up. i will never gonna get another blackberry. iphone is iphone, no offense. BUT the droids are getting there, but still never will be. no offense.
it shows how out of touch they are at RIM.
Yeah Waterloo is cool - NOT
OK RIM has Redwood City office filled with a bunch of x-Sun Java boobs..
Google has nuked them in no time which shows Silicon Valley is light years ahead on anything from Canada. Well maybe the beer and dancers are better in Waterloo.
Are any of you people talking smack actually using the Torch? If so, please give some constructive comments/criticism in the correct section. If not, go play on your own device's website so we can read something on a blackberry site without having to wade through a bunch of BS. The entire 9800 forum is filled with comments like these. I like blackberry, I'm extremely happy with my 9800, and you are not going to change my mind by talking s**t (and yes, I have tried iPhone and Android models so I'm not just blindly staying with BB, thanks very much). Please quit wasting everyone's time!
Back to topic: I'm very glad to see RIM putting more effort into advertising. I think BBs are a very good fit for a lot of people that may not realize it without seeing advertising to attract their attention.
Kevin et. al. I'm not sure if you read these forums, but if you do, can't you upgrade them so that we can upgrade or downgrade comments. Specifically so we can down-grade HTC Driod-EVO and his ilk into oblivion??? Such as on BGR
I understand that you might want dregs like him so as to increase the number of eyeballs on this website and therefore probably your revenues, but it clearly pisses off a lot of BB owners. We are sick of hearing how iPhone and Droids are better. For most of us they are not better, we've tried, but these morons don't seem to get this.
Thanks for reading this.
Because once again its just exclusive to AT&T. Not everyone is going to be on an already cluttered network with unreliable service sometimes compared to Verizon. I like the phone and want it but not bad enough to switch networks. They should of thought about making it for the masses (GSM & CDMA). The sales would have been stronger if it was offered on Verizon or Sprint.
I Love BlackBerry!
the music is very safe and generic and I feel this advert doesn't appeal to me whatsoever. the comparison between the multiple cases and the browser tabs is weak at best and the playlist option is really nothing new and doesn't really highlight how much better the media player really is and it doesn't make me really believe what this DJ is saying with his stupid arse hat.
I dont mind lame jokes or statements (i do them all the time :P) but futurephone and that fake laugh to the point of it sounding almost insecure really shouldn't have been the end for that advert.
More advertising is great but they've done better.
I'm not sure why people knock rim so much or blackberrys, I remember before any iphone came out I seen nothing but blackberrys everwhere then somthing new and innovative comes along and draws a crowd of people to it and that's awsome I'm glad for apples success but I don't like steve jobs at all lol, and then andriod OS rolls out and people goto that cause its very blazing fast! But all in all rim didn't need a better screen or a snapdragon processor, if they used it then battery life would be as crappy as any iphone or andriod os phone, fancy stuff takes battery life, as for lag guess I got one of the perfect phones and as for att coverage I guess I live in most covered state (OK)in the us lol , what's a dropped call?
That doesn't change the fact that RIM still has not addressed the fundamental issue that it's flagship phones remain behind those of its competitors in many, if not all, key areas. Including many areas which pertain to business-related applications.
It's this fact that is reflected by the trend of many people posting about how much they hate BlackBerry and how much they [claim to] love Droids.
It might well be inappropriate to go to a forum expressly for BlackBerry users, largely just to say how crap BlackBerrys are [according to some points of view]. But the notion that it's [sort of] inappropriate doesn't obviate the fact that RIM faces serious competitive issues in terms of quality control, innovation and customer satisfaction.
If word of mouth was good enough then why does Apple continue to run iphone and ipad ads constantly on television? The Torch isn't late, it is the natural progression of BlackBerry...
This is a good one. Most people buy stuff from word of mouth. BB is outdated and commercials will not help sell the Torch. If this took 2 years to make RIM is gonna crash. Google and Apple has passed RIM and their shitty phones. Their phones as of now are nothing bug something to talk on. Nothing about them is saying 2011.
I share my thoughts, and no one can ban me cause of it. I provide links to back up my info. I don't spam, and if RIM does do something worth talking about in a +1 way I will +1 alllll the way. I am one of many who aren't blind loyalist. Plus I had a storm and a tour so I speak fact to go along with what I think.
Someone DEAL WITH THE SPAM PLEASE. It's getting f****ing annoying.
This past weekend I went to the AT&T store to get my first look at a working torch. If I get one it would have to be $500 off contract price. While I was there he salesman got me to look at a Captivate Galaxy S phone. OMG the super AMOLED screen blew me away. It was sooooooo much quicker than the Torch to. I love BBM and rim in general. I'm not here to hate on RIM. I gave the torch the benefit of the doubt. It was a demo and could have just been fudged with a lot. But it would be hard to drop 500 on it when the galaxy s phones are so much more badass. The IP4 was pretty sweet to. But an extra hundred bucks and no sd card slot.
Did you guys notice the dj had an port plugged into the right side of the phone? Was the pic mirrored or did they really just stick wire on the right side to make it seem real? loool!
And the last image when the bicyclist holds the torch, did you notice the bezel is WAY more chrome than it actually really is?! I wish it really was chromed instead of dark metal. boo!

Product Description
Krush Groove (DVD)
Like its progenitors Beat Street and Wild Style, Krush Groove is a movie about hip-hop that in its rush to document an emergent culture ignores plot, acting, cinematography, or anything else that makes a movie watchable or worthwhile.
That said, Krush Groove contains some nifty performances from hip-hop legends Run-DMC, the always hilarious Fat Boys (see Disorderlies if you can't get enough of their weighty shtick), brilliant MC Kurtis Blow, and Prince proteacute;gé Sheila E. Also look out for soon-to-be L.A. Law-yer Blair Underwood in a lead role. Performances aside, Krush Groove isn't def, it's just so-so. --Ethan Brown --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

text: Buhl Planetarium Pittsburgh To See 'Superblood' Lunar Eclipse Sunday By Mike Richards • Sep 24, 2015 Karissa / Flickr Pittsburgh will witness a rare lunar eclipse Sunday. The "superblood" moon will feature a rare marriage of several lunar phenomena: a harvest moon, which occurs in the late summer or fall; a supermoon, much closer to the Earth at about 225,000 miles away; and a blood moon, noted by its red-copper coloring during the eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes within the Earth's shadow. It's regarded as safer to view than a solar eclipse, which requires indirect viewing to prevent damage to the observer's eyes. Passing Pluto: What We Know About The 'Dwarf Planet' By Essential Pittsburgh • Jul 14, 2015 Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute / Flickr Listen Listening... / 9:33 This morning NASA's New Horizons space craft is expected to pass fewer than 7,800 miles above Pluto's surface and send back pictures. Images have already revealed plenty of surprises about the mysterious "dwarf planet." Charissa Sedor, assistant manager of the Buhl Planetarium at the Carnegie Science Center, tells us what these latest finds reveal. The Buhl Planetarium's 75th Anniversary Celebration By Essential Pittsburgh • Oct 22, 2014 German Federal Archive Listen Listening... / 28:12 Pittsburgh's Buhl Planetarium opened to great fanfare in October of 1939. The Buhl's Zeiss II Planetarium Projector was the first such projector to be placed on an elevator, and the Theatre of the Stars was the first planetarium theatre to include a permanent theatrical stage and a special sound system for the hearing-impaired. We talk with Glenn Walsh, Project Director of Friends of the Zeiss, and Former Astronomical Observatory Coordinator and Planetarium Lecturer for the Original Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science in Pittsburgh. Look Skyward, Pittsburgh: Meteor Shower, Partial Solar Eclipse Expected This Week By Jessica Nath • Oct 20, 2014 The Pittsburgh sky has a busy schedule this week, with a meteor shower tonight and a partial solar eclipse Thursday. That's according to Dan Malerbo, Buhl Planetarium and Observatory program development coordinator, who said the best time to watch the Orionid meteor shower is between midnight and dawn Tuesday and away from the city lights. "Under some clear skies you could probably see up to 20 meteors per hour," Malerbo said. "These meteors radiate, they come out of direction from Orion the Hunter, up by his bright star, Betelgeuse, from that area of the sky." Area 51 Questions Persist By Heather McClain • Sep 4, 2013 NASA Landsat / Wikipedia Listen Listening... / 11:59 Late last month, the CIA released a classified report on the U2 spy plane. The report confirmed what many people have believed for decades. A secret military facility known as Area 51 does indeed exist. Robert Marshall, program development coordinator of the Buhl Planetarium and Observatory says Area 51 is essentially a Department of Defense studio, where prototypes are tested.

enzyme the adrenal glands need to make one or more of these hormones and often overproduce androgens (male hormones such as testosterone).[1] The signs and symptoms present in each person depend on many factors including the type of CAH, the age of diagnosis, and the sex of the affected person. For example, females with a severe form of the condition may have ambiguous genitalia at birth and if not properly diagnosed, develop dehydration, poor feeding, diarrhea, vomiting and other health problems soon after. People with milder forms may not be diagnosed with the condition until adolescence or adulthood when they experience early signs of puberty or fertility problems. Treatment for CAH varies but may include medication and/or surgery.[2][3]Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to a group of genetic conditions that affect the adrenal glands. These glands sit on top of the kidneys and are responsible for releasing various types of hormones that the body needs to function. Affected people lack an

The race director giving a prerace briefing. He is explaining the trail markers here. Unfortunately it was in Italian.
But we did have a translator to English and German.
Few shots of the start/finish
They had a band and disco going on when I finished.
We could use three drop bags. They gave us these color coded bags to put our stuff in.
Race checkin.
Yes, there was a party at the finish which I think lasted for two days.
Mark, another US runner
The "punching" of the athletes. They actually just called everyone's bib numbers just before the start of the race.
Kim and Tim, also from the US
Me at the start/finish
The race started at 6pm and the sun set shortly after.
The race started in Vivaro, Italy. We had to run a bit until we got into the mountains.
It was about 20 miles to the mountains.
Ran through this little town just before sunrise.
The race went on a combination of road, footpaths, and trail.
Sunrise finally gave me an opportunity to see what I had been running though.
stream crossing
On the way up another climb
This trail was nice. A lot of it was fairly technical with lots of rocks.
Working our way up to that gap. This was the biggest and steepest climb of the race. About 3,300 feet in 2.5 miles.
Lots of little switchbacks on the way up
Stepping of the edge of the trail would have been very bad
Finally on the ridge line
Lots of mountains to the north and west
Looking back from where I came
I did not know at the time, but I would be running over that dam shortly.
The dam
The race also went through two 1 mile long tunnels.
You could see the other side but still needed a headlamp
More trail
This was my last picture during the race, but I came back here the next day as this area was cool
My bib number. I finished in a time of 30:07:17 which was good for 16th place.

I joined Rebecca and Jaleo on a slow hike the day after the race
The water was so clear and green in color
The race ran on this trail along the stream
Looking down river
This hike is in the Dolomiti Friulane area of Italy
I think that we were on the Frassaneit Trail. There were several rock climbing areas along the trail.
I found a rock climb named after me!
It would be a nice place to climb

Hot answers tagged fast-days
The Mishna Brura OC 549 sk 3 says to continue fasting if you accidentally ate. In OC 568 sk 3 he says you can still say Aneinu at Mincha if it is a public fast day (as opposed to a personal one). In OC 568 sk 8 he says that you do not need to fast again on a different day for accidental eating on the public fasts as well as any personal fast that has a ...
According to this article, most Poskim do allow one to brush one's teeth on the three minor fasts, especially if they are going to be in some level of discomfort. ..While the Kaf Hachaim (OC 567:13) forbids rinsing even with less than a revi'is, most poskim are more lenient, especially when one is uncomfortable. Thus, the Rema (Darchei Moshe OC 567:2), ...
Per Mishna Berura Orach Chaim 567:3:11 if a person is bothered by the lack of brushing their teeth or the smell/taste in their mouth, they are permitted to rinse their mouth on public fasts, however one should tip their head forward in order that it should not reach their throat.
The Gemara in Megilla 6a says Rebbi Yehuda Hanasi went to the bath house on 17 Tammuz. The Shulchan Aruch OC 550:2 rules that bathing is permitted on the 'minor' fasts and is only forbidden on Tisha B'av and Yom Kippur. The Mishna Brura there (sk 6) says that a meticulous person ("baal nefesh") should be stringent on all the 5 afflictions of tisha b'av (...
The Nitei Gavriel Pesach 2 Chapter 43:9 brings in the name of the Shevet Halevi that since a convert is as if he is newly born there is a question whether he is still considered a Bechor. Therefore the Nitei Gavriel concludes that it is best that he should either make a Siyum or be part of a Seudas Mitzva.
Perhaps it includes the Fast of the Firstborn. Contemporary practice is to override it, so I don't know if there's any liturgy for it, but maybe at some time in some communities, it was/is observed as a fast, with its own liturgy. Or maybe the sixth fast is the non-calendar-fixed "Ta'anit Dibbur," which the front cover says is included.
You end your fast when it becomes dark, independent of how long you have been already fasting. Source: Igrot Moshe OC 3:96 See also Shevet HaLevi 8:261:2 who argues and says to stop based on you original location's times. It's not clear if he would hold this lechumra as well.
Alshich (to 5:5-8) says that indeed she didn't eat at the first feast. Among many other things, this explains why the first one is just described as "the party which Esther made" (5:5), while to the second one Achashverosh and Haman came "to drink with Queen Esther" (7:1).
Note 10 in Rav Eliezer Melamed's article on the "lighter fasts" states as follows: וכיום ההוראה הרווחת לנשים אשכנזיות שלא לצום. ועיין בפסקי תשובות תקנ, א, שהביא דעות מופלגות להיתר, שכל הנשים הראויות לילד פטורות מהצום, כדי שיהיה להן כוח לילד. ויש אמרו שתפדה את הצום בצדקה. ע"כ. ואין נוהגים להורות כמותם, אבל במקום ספק אפשר לצרף את דבריהם להיתר. ...
Please see "The Segal Guide to Fasting For Yom Kippur (from a Medical Perspective)," written by a physician. The very first point he deals with is the thirst issue you raised. Hope you have a successful and meaningful fast this year!
Considering Monica's point about year distributions, here's a refinement of Gershon's data (using the frequency table on Remy Landau's Hebrew Calendar page, here): Tzom Gedaliah falls on Monday or Thursday in the year types גכה, זחא, זשג, גכז, זחג, זשה. This is 40.08% of all years. Asarah B'Teves can't occur on Monday, but it can be on Thursday, only in ...
R Eliezer Dunner of Bene Brak told me, a ger firstborn, to fast. (The siyumim had already concluded.)
These fasts are counting from Nisan as the first month (the Jewish religious calendar). The fast of the 4th month is 17 Tammuz. The fast of the 5th month is 9 Av. Here, the fast of the 7th month is Tzom Gedalia (usually observed on 3 Tishrei) although Yom Kippur also falls in the 7th month. The fast of the 10th month is 10 Tevet. These fasts commemorate ...
When it comes to Yom Kippur, the halachah is that even chewing on something non-nutritional is prohibited. The example given is aromatic wood (Rema to Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 612:6), and Mishnah Berurah (ibid. :18) explains that one does feel a sensation of flavor from doing so. So that would seem to cover your examples of a stick or sugar-free gum; I ...
Perhaps because each of the dates commemorate multiple things. Five Tragedies happened on the 17th of Tammuz: Moshe broke the Tablets The Tamid offering was interrupted A Sefer Torah was burned An idol was placed in the Beit Hamikdash The walls of Jerusalem were breached during the second temple The 9th of Av has always been a day of tragedy, and many ...
From a personal perspective, I have found that the easiest fasts I have had, came when Yom Kippur was on a Monday, and Sunday morning I did a 3-4 hour run (training for a fall marathon). My theory is that knowing how dumb an idea it is to do a 3-4 hour run, mere hours before a 25 hour fast, I try to compensate by drinking the rest of the day, every 10-20 ...
The Talmud (Pesachim 54b) states that only for Tisha bAv must we be stringent for Bein Hashemashot. There is an opinion in Rishonim that only regarding the Bein Hashemashot at the beginning of the day is Tisha bAv unique, but all fasts require being stringent at the end because we have to wait until it is certainly night to uproot the current status (chazaka)...
Only Yom Kippur and Tisha b'Av are 25-hour fasts. The others are minor fasts, from dawn (first light, before sunrise) until nightfall (full dark). The minor fasts are: Fast of Gedaliah (3 Tishrei) 10 Tevet Fast of Esther (13 Adar) Fast of the Firstborn (for those to whom it applies) (14 Nisan) 17 Tamuz You can read more about these fasts at Judaism 101....
I heard from a rabbi that it isn't strictly necessary to actually hear the siyum. The person who did the siyum celebrates by throwing a party and invites people to join him. All those that partake in the party are exempt from fasting. In fact, some people mistakenly believe that hearing the siyum is all that's required, and subsequently go home to eat. This ...
Moshe Rabbeinu broke the luchos when he came down from Har Sinai and saw the eigel The karbon tamid was no longer brought in the first Bais Hamikdosh. The destruction of the second Bais Hamikdosh started. Apostumos burnt the Torah A tzelem was placed in the heichal Source: Mishna Ta'anis 4:6
As always, CYLOR, but I'll copy what the Shulchan Aruch says (as far as I see in 554:5): "Pregnant and nursing women fast on the ninth of Av as they complete the fast on Yom Kipur. On the three other fasts [the seventeenth of Tamuz, the fast of G'dalya, and the tenth of Teves —msh210], they are exempt from fasting. Nonetheless, it is appropriate that they do ...
R' Moshe Feinstein zt"l explains (Igros Moshe, vol. 8, Yoreh De'ah 57:11) that the statement in the kinah is referring to tragedies affecting all of the Jewish people. The Crusaders wanted a wholly Christian world, with no Jews ר"ל (and indeed, they attacked and killed the Jews in Jerusalem as well as in Europe); Hitler's ימ"ש aim was similar. Such ...
About the second part of the question: Yalkut Shimoni (to Esther 4:16) says that he limited the fast to those "found in Shushan" because they were the ones who had eaten at Achashverosh's feast. The Jews in the rest of the empire weren't guilty of that. [That they too were in danger is attributed by R. Shimon bar Yochai (Megillah 12a) to their having bowed ...
Fast days are not optional. The "minor" means that they start at daybreak rather than the night before (as do tish'a b'av and yom kippur). Note the rules quoted below for when one may skip the fast (because of illness). Yom Kippur is required by the Torah and Ta'anis Esther is connected to Purim not the destruction of the temple. Once the temple will have ...
The sandak, if a bris takes place in the morning (as per the first custom cited in Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 559:7).
The custom of reciting Avinu Malkeinu repetitively by the chazzan and congregation is brought in Mateh Efrayim (תרב סי"ג), without any explanation. [The Mateh Efrayim himself writes to begin from א"מ קרע, however the Ktzey Hamateh at the bottom brings the custom to start from א"מ החזירנו בתשובה]. The only reason I could find is mentioned in שער יששכר מאמר ...
Yom HaShoah falls on the 27th of Nissan. It is forbbiden to fast during the month of Nissan (Shulchan Aruch OC 429:2). I've never met anyone who fasts on that day, and I would question anyone who does.

When those in Speedos and bikinis are the most appropriately
dressed it must be the annual polar plunge.
About 400 people braved the chilly breeze and 11degC
temperature to dive into the surf at St Clair Beach
At noon, people dressed as prisoners, cows, penguins and
those in more traditional swimming apparel sprinted
side-by-side towards the waves.
It was 8-year-old Payton Wells' first plunge and she said it
was ''exciting''.
She described the event as ''cold, warm and freezing''.
When asked why she joined in, she said: ''Mum asked me
yesterday and I said: `Yeah'.''
Zandra Davis, dressed in a cow onesie, said the plunge was
''Awesome, just awesome''.
''It was fun,'' she said.
''I have gone to this eight times ... and I have been here
when it's colder.''
Hitting the waves in the middle of winter was
''invigorating'', she said.
Englishwoman Tina Owen said the water was ''like an English
St Clair Surf Life Saving Club past-chairman Antony Mason
said $2000 was raised for the club by the event.
He joined in the fun and said the water was ''cold''.
It was one of the biggest turnouts he had seen at the event.

You can also view all our Videos and Audio Files.
The Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer (also known as the ERE or Advanced ERE, reflexology foot massager, foot and leg massager, or the reflexology machine) utilizes low frequency electric stimulation or electrotherapy to stimulate acupressure points on the bottom of the feet based on the principles of reflexology. It provides an overall feeling of relaxation and improves circulation. It includes 3 sets of Electro Pads which can be used to stimulate large muscle groups throughout the body to reduce tired and achy muscles.
The Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer can be used on the feet as well as the hands. Using this product between 5-30 minutes a day will help promote your overall well-being, and relax and revitalize your entire body. The Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer has helped many by helping their body to relive pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, improving diabetic neuropathy, breaking up tight muscles, relaxing and stimulating your legs as a massager, improving circulation, and help strengthen their body to fight off parasites and yeast (similar to the Zapper).
The Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer (Advanced ERE) is an instrument that helps reconnect broken or damaged electrical circuits within our nervous systems by stimulating our body with the correct wave form, current, and frequency. When the body experiences pain, there is an electrical resistance. This means that the electrical signals between cells are suppressed. Consistent use of the Advanced ERE may assist your body in restoring the flow of electricity through those painful areas so that the circuits remain turned on and healing can be promoted. I think it is one of the best foot massagers on the market. The advanced Electro Reflex Energizer is listed with the FDA as a Class One Device and regulated as an Electric Therapeutic Massager and is a Class 2 Medical Device with Health Canada.
Reflexology, Electrical Stimulation or Electrotherapy
The Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer combines the benefits and principles of Reflexology and Electrical Stimulation. Reflexology is the art or science that according to Webster's Dictionary, is the "massage of the hands or feet based on the belief that pressure applied to specific points on these extremities benefits other parts of the body". It is common knowledge that basic foot and hand massage promotes the circulation of your blood while loosening tense muscle tissues. Since ancient times in China, it has been believed that the bottoms of the feet and hands can be divided into 25 parts. Each part represents different glands, organs and parts of the body. Reflexology is the art or science of reprogramming the atoms, cells, and electrons of the body to their original state through the triggering of these signal points on the foot or hand (Zone Theory). Reflexology offers a unique method of massage and benefits.
Dr. Brent Bauer, MD stated that "Reflexology is generally relaxing and may be an effective way to alleviate stress." Several studies have also been done indicating that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms associated with anxiety and depression and may have benefits in palliative care of people with cancer.
Electrical stimulation is used to stimulate the skin to relieve pain. The signals received by the body through the skin are able to relieve the pain because the signals interfere with the neural transmission of signals from the underlying pain receptors of our body, so the pain signal gets cut off. These same signals our body receives through our skin via electrical stimulation also duplicates the signals from the cells that make up our nervous system which send messages to the muscles in our body causing our muscles to contact and allowing for the movement of certain body parts, like our hands or our feet.
Most of us don't think about it, however, when we go to move one of our body parts, such as our hand or our leg, our body sends electrical signals throughout our nervous system to our muscles. These signals tell our muscles to contact and our body part moves. Even though it is known that this is how our body moves, and that electrical stimulation has this same effect on our muscles, it is very perplexing to many doctors. Theoretically many doctors have found that the brain may be able to actually recapture and relearn movement by repeatedly using electrical stimulation which eventually leads the body to perform some of these functions once the electrical stimulations stops. Amazing!
- Relieving muscular stress and tension which allows the body to relax, relieving stress, which is often a culprit for chronic health problems.
- Improves and promotes blood circulation.
- Relieves the congestion of organs promoting the flow of "Chi".
- Promotes the unblocking of nerve impulses, helping the body achieve naturally achieve balance.
- Enhances the capacity of the organs to fight disease.
- May assist in weight loss
- Electrical stimulation with the Electro Pads may enhance muscle strength, muscle endurance, and help muscles recover from an injury.
- Relieves Pain
- Electrical stimulation may improve symptoms of Diabetic Neuropathy (PMID: 24124947; PMCID: PMC3876364)
- Thai Foot Massage was found to be very beneficial in alleviating symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients. If you are not familiar with Thai Foot Massage it is done by applying pressure to a particular area on the soles of the feet to engage a reflex action elsewhere in the body which is how Reflexology is performed. Both Thai Massage and Reflexology use the fingers, hand, knuckles and a rounded wounded stick to perform the massage. PMID: 25892354
- Studies have shown that using electrical stimulation may help nerves reinnervate for carpal tunnel. (PMID: 19682653). Another study found massage therapy using trigger points was also very beneficial as a treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. PMID: 23768278
The Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer has many features and benefits based on these concepts. Learn more about reflexology, the zone theory, and how it has helped many other customers by reading the Information Booklet. You can also download the Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer Brochure.
I get many of questions on how the Advanced ERE works in relationship to parasites. Dr. Hulda Clark has written several books on health and parasites and uses a machine known as the "Zapper". The Zapper is a popular product on the market and is an electronic device that produces electronic adjustable frequencies and has been used effectively by Dr. Hulda Clark and her clients to help the body eliminate bacteria and parasites. Since the Advanced ERE is also an electronic device emitting various wave forms, currents, and frequencies many of our customers have also found it beneficial in assisting their body to eliminate parasites. These customers shared with me that they have used the Advanced ERE for 21 continuous days on the Auto Mode for 5-15 minutes per day. Please keep in mind that the frequencies do not actually kill the parasites. The continued use of the products repeatedly sends your body these electronic frequencies and signals which helps the body generate healing signals, so our body does what it needs to do to heal itself and eliminate the parasites.
Electro Pads
The Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer's best and most exciting added feature is the Replaceable Electro Pads (similar to a tens unit) that can be used to pinpoint and stimulate additional areas such as the neck, shoulder, and back. These Electro Pads work just like a TENS Unit allowing you to loosen up your tight muscles and help to relieve pain! There are 3 sets of Electro Pads included with the Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer. You are able to use all of the Electro Pads at the same time you are using the machine on your feet or hands! You can also control the stimulation through each set of Electro Pads. One of the questions I get most is where do I place the pads? Well it is best to place one electro pad where your painful or tender area begins, and one electro pad where your painful or tender area ends. It is best to target each area with one set of pads and to make sure the pads are at least one inch apart. You can view this reference guide for placement of tens units pads which is to the electro pads used with our unit.
- Slightly Heated Foot Pads which are Soothing and Warming for your feet and/or hands.
- Single Remote Control for ease of use as well as an Indicator Control Panel View our guide on "How to Use the Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer"
- 4 Different Massage Modes
- The Pounding Mode works the bottom center of your feet and inner calves. The corresponding points for reflexology are the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, stomach, pancreas and intestines.
- The Relaxing Mode works the top part of your feet, outer calves and ankles. The corresponding points for reflexology are the circulatory, respiratory and lymphatic systems.
- The Massage Mode works your toes, corresponding to the reflexology points related to the brain, eyes, ears, mouth, neck, shoulders. Also helping with stress, insomnia and migraines.
- The Auto Mode runs through all three modes working all areas of your feet.
- Frequencies are controlled by 2 different output buttons that allows you to fully control your intensity level
- Timer allowing you to set a session from 5 - 60 minutes
- 3 Sets of Electro Pads - Pads can be used separately or while you are massaging your feet and/or hands and provide electronic muscle stimulation. Electro Pads are replaceable and can be used to pinpoint and stimulate additional areas such as the neck, shoulders, or back
- Lightweight and Portable - Easy to travel with
- Low Frequency of 50-60 Hz
No other product compares to the Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer!

This is one of those humbling experiences that stay with you for the rest of your career.
BRIDGE is a state agency that helps to connect foster parents with biological parents for the sake of the child involved. It's kind of a mentoring program for parents that have had their children taken from them; in hopes that the child will eventually be returned.
They wanted a logo that conveyed all of the above… so I doodled up three designs, but this was "The One" in my mind. It has the feeling that a child might have actually drawn it. The suspension bridge just made it look like everyone was holding hands, connected. The two adults and a child came across clearly to me… it was perfect.
They didn't get it.
They asked if I could add hands and faces… they were trying to be too literal and I couldn't make them "SEE" the design the way I did. I was pretty disappointed.
I generally push back at least once when a client asks for drastic changes. So in my brilliance I did this, and as a result I never heard back from them.
Lol, such is life.

Nemesis is one of the few non-criminals to join the Suicide Squad as well as being one of the few non-females to be named an honorary Amazonian.
And this May, in the upcoming six-issue miniseries, âFinal Crisis Aftermath: Escape,â Nemesis finds himself captured by the Global Peace Agency, inside the walls of the mysterious Electric City. As Nemesis works to escape, he finds only a few people he can truly trust.
CBR News checked in with someone we trust, âFinal Crisis Aftermath: Escapeâ writer Ivan Brandon, to see if we couldnât pull a Global Peace Agency and siphon a few secrets out of him about the series.
CBR News: How did this project come about? Was it your pitch?
Ivan Brandon: [DCU Executive Editor] Dan DiDio and I had been talking about what kind of project I could do for DC, and over a meal one day, we were mulling ideas and stumbled across what would eventually become âEscape.â He had some random puzzle pieces for me; that it should star the Global Peace Agency, what he wanted to accomplish in terms of the bookâs place in the DCU, etc. We didnât know much, either of us, but we left that meal full of french food and intrigue. I started putting some pretty strange ideas together, and where I expected to get slapped on the back of the head, Dan lit up and started throwing even stranger ideas back. We went back and forth for months until we got to where everything had clicked into place.
What can you share with us about the story you are going to tell in âFinal Crisis: Escapeâ?
Remember âLostâ? Or âThe Prisonerâ? Our first issue raises a lot more questions than it answers. Nemesis wakes up drugged in a place heâs never been to, with no idea how he got there. Heâs blacking out intermittently, surrounded by familiar faces who wonât talk to him and faceless agents who donât make any sense.
Does this series take place immediately after the events of âFinal Crisisâ?
The story takes place at a time unknown to anyone, even Nemesis.
What is it you most like about your main character, Nemesis?
Nemesis is one of the most adaptable characters in comics. He can be anyone, and as such, he fits in perfectly in our Electric City, where no one believes anything they see.
Does Wonder Woman play a role in this series?
OK. What about any other DCU heroes or villains, for that matter? Chase was mentioned at WonderCon.
Chase is a very important part of âEscape.â I donât want to spoil the rest of the cast, but letâs say there are a lot of figures from Nemesisâ past in Electric City. And one of my favorite DC characters ever, redesigned by the amazing JG Jones.
Does anyone help Nemesis escape?
Who says Nemesis escapes?
Why should folks be afraid of the Global Peace Agency?
You canât see their eyes when they come to get you. In their own words: âWeâre closer than you think.â
Marco Rudyâs extremely passionate about the project. Heâs showing the kind of creativity usually reserved for a creator owned book. Scott Hamptonâs one of my favorite painters and itâs a huge honor to have his covers on the series.
Quickly, please tell us about your upcoming creator-owned project for Image, âViking.â
"Viking" is a departure from anything I've ever done. It's all the stuff I'm not allowed to do with superheroes, and more. Remember that first season of âThe Sopranos,â where Christopher Moltisanti committed crimes to get attention and get made? Well, Finn and Egil are overzealous brothers, stabbing and stealing their way up the criminal ladder. Egil lacks much of a conscience or a sense of mortality based on the fact that every mess he makes, his brother Finn gets them out of. Finn takes less pleasure in crime and killing than his brother does, but sometimes blood is thicker than sense and Finnâs not about to let Egil get killed no matter how much he might deserve it.
Are you working on anything else these days?
I hate to give this kind of answer, but unfortunately thereâs nothing I can talk about right now. This yearâs going to be absurdly busy for me, though. Thereâs a lot coming, both in and out of the superhero world.
âFinal Crisis Aftermath: Escapeâ #1 hits stores on May 13.

If you have the plugin set to be case insensitive and are wondering why the "Ignore Keywords" setting isn't working, this could be your answer.
Basically, the plugin compares the ignore keywords to the names of your posts or categories links are going to - not the text that's being linked, and it's still case sensitive even when it's set not to be. So if your post title is Hello World and you don't want to the plugin to link where you've written "hello world" in a post, your need to tell it to ignore "Hello World" not "hello world."
You can fix this problem in the code by adding this code between line 104 and 105:
it should be right after:
$arrignore=$this->explode_trim(",", ($options['ignore']));
