Netflix hiking prices - for some
(NEWSER) – The bad news: Netflix is upping its prices this quarter. The good news: If you're already a customer, you'll get a "generous" grace period during which you'll continue to pay the current $7.99 monthly streaming fee, the company announced today in its quarterly earnings release. The price hike will be $1 or $2 extra per month, the Los Angeles Times reports. It's not clear how long the grace period for existing customers will be, but in January, Netflix hiked prices for new subscribers in Ireland, and let existing customers keep their lower subscription fees for two years.

The Transylvania County Special Olympics go off without a hitchApril 9, 2009
Over 200 people attend as 29 athletes compete in the Games
Brevard, N.C. - Over 29 athletes and more than 200 people were present at the track on the campus of Brevard College this past Saturday for the First Annual Special Olympics of Transylvania County. This project, coordinated by Dick and Pat Ream with help from Brandy Metcalf, was a success from the opening ceremonies as the Olympians took part in 12 track and field events and six wheelchair Olympians took part in three events.
During the opening ceremonies of the Games, all the special guests and local dignitaries were welcomed to the event as the athletes paraded around the track. An invocation by Reverend Mike Jordan and brief remarks by Mac McKeller, Jason Chappel, and the Brevard College head football coach Paul Hamilton, followed the parade. Special Olympian Scott Wolf gave the Special Olympics Oath, which states, "Let me win, but if I can not win, let me be brave in the attempt." Following the oath, Coach Hamilton declared the games open at 10:15 a.m.
With events ranging from the 25, 50 and 400 meter walks, a 400 meter run, standing and running long jumps and the softball throw, the athletes and their supporters kept moving throughout the day, stopping only for the occasional awards ceremony where all athletes who participated in an event received ribbons for their performances.
Members of the Tornados men's and women's basketball teams and the men's and women's track teams were present throughout the day, pairing up with the Olympians to provide support during the events and to help cheer them on as they competed.
Amanda Whitaker, a member of the women's basketball team paired up with Dick and Pat's son, Michael, had the following to say about the Olympics, "My experience was very uplifting and rewarding. It is something that can't be put into words; you have to experience it to see how it really feels. I had the best time!" Teammate Amber Roberts also commented, saying, "I really enjoyed working at Special Olympics on Saturday. It was a great opportunity to help others and just have a lot of fun."
The Special Olympics is open to all persons over the age of eight who have an intellectual or physical disability. The athletes train for the events, and then come to local meets to get times and distances to become ranked for the regional meet held later on in the month.
All of the athletes who competed in the Transylvania County Special Olympics are allowed to move on to the Regional meet which will be held in Buncombe County on April 18th where the athletes can move on to qualify for the State Olympics.
"This was my first time assisting with the Special Olympics and I was very impressed with the athlete's capabilities. They get out there and have such a great time. It's so nice to see the smiles on their faces and the freedom that they have," Women's Basketball Head Coach Shannon Reid had to say, "It was an honor and privilege to have them compete at Brevard College. I feel blessed for the opportunity to engage in such a rewarding experience!"
Dick Ream had the final words to say as the Olympics came to an end, "I personally have been involved in sports for 56 years from playing to coaching to officiating and this is by far the most fun."

Robin Cyr's newborn baby girl in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the IWK Health Centre on Sunday.
TC Media
TC Media
The mother of the 'miracle baby' born at the IWK Health Centre this week says she appears to be making a steady recovery – and yes, she has a name.
Robin Cyr's child wasn't breathing when she was delivered around 3 a.m. March 8 after a difficult and complicated labour.
The baby was declared dead after about 25 minutes, Cyr said – but suddenly started breathing on her own shortly after medical staff had stopped trying to revive her.
On Tuesday, an exhausted-sounding Cyr said she had settled on a name for the big newborn, who weighed in at more than nine pounds: Mireya, a Spanish name that means 'miracle.'
"I've seen her open her eyes for the first time," said Cyr, 34, during a brief phone conversation Tuesday afternoon, adding that doctors were pleased with the baby's progress. "In maybe another four or five hours, I'll get to hold her for the first time."
Since Metro News published Cyr's story Monday, it has been picked up by international media including the British publication the Daily Mail and the New York Daily News.
But Cyr said she still hasn't processed the reality of almost having lost her fourth child.
"It didn't hit me yet," she said, adding she's been "very busy," with visits from friends and concerned relatives – all of which she's trying to juggle around caring for her newborn.
Mireya's aunt said the emotional roller coaster that started with the little girl's highly eventful arrival in the world hasn't subsided for anyone.
With the baby still in the neonatal intensive care unit, Anita Richards said she's trying to carry some of the burden for the overwhelmed new mother by dealing with some of the medical realities.
"Every time I'm here, I'm making sure I'm on top of the questions like, 'How's her progress today? When are the wires going to come off? When does she switch to the heating bed?'" said Richards, adding that the baby's oxygen tubes have been removed and she's been moved to a heating bed.
The IWK is conducting a review of the case.

just post it here as code?
I've been reading the forums for a long time, but have never posted. I decided that its timet to become an active member of this great community. I also wrote up a little bash script and wouldn't mind posting for the community. However, I cannot post in the programming area of the board. It isn't anything special, but I think some people may find it useful. It is basically an automated way of upgrading the kernel and then the rt73 driver. I was inspired to write it since I will most likely be using the live distribution more often than my persistant install due to the issues with the latest Aircrack-ng updates and SpoonWEP2. Anyway, I'd love to post it if anyone is interested. Thanks for all that contribute to the BackTrack development.
just post it here as code?
Read the posts around the forums about new members etc, you'll be able to post to programming soon enough.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
I did notice that after posting...sorry.Read the posts around the forums about new members etc, you'll be able to post to programming soon enough.
If you wouldn't mind...that way this is all in one thread. Thanks in advance.Post it anyway
I'll move it along....
I do have to say that this is my first script, so be easy on me. I am open to any constructive criticism. Known issues: does not remove temporary directory after issuing "rm -r rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.2" in the script, but it will remove the directory if you type that after the script has run. Also, I would like to implement "ifconfig rausb0 up" to the end of the script, but it does not seem to run until the card has been pulled and re-inserted into the computer. Any advice how to make this script better is welcome.
I have uploaded everything needed to run the script in order to simplify things for new users. I hope you all enjoy.

We'll have a look at it for you but we need to see it to help. A list of filenames isn't self-evident.
We'll look but we're busy.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Knicks return home from a successful Texas trip Tuesday night to host the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks went 2-1 against the league's three Texas teams, but it could've easily been 3-0. J.R. Smith hoisted an ill-advised late shot that hurt in a loss to the Houston Rockets, but the Knicks sandwiched wins over the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks around the loss.
On Sunday, the Knicks handled the Mavs, 92-80. The 80 points against marked the second-lowest output an opposing team had against the Knicks so far this season.
Carmelo Anthony tallied 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Kenyon Martin added 14 points and six rebounds off the bench for New York, which had dropped four of its last five coming in.
"I think our defense set the tone early," Knicks head coach Mike Woodson said.
The Knicks held the Mavs to 17 points in the first quarter and only 18 in the second. They took a 17-point lead into halftime and withstood a third-quarter rally from Dallas.
Andrea Bargnani (13), Amare Stoudemire (11) and Tim Hardaway, Jr. (10) also scored in double figures.
The Pistons have lost four in a row, including two at home and two on the road. Detroit has actually dropped five straight at home, so luckily the Pistons hit the road for three straight.
On Sunday, the Pistons got destroyed at The Palace of Auburn Hills, 112-84, by the Memphis Grizzlies.
Detroit took a five-point lead into the locker room Sunday afternoon, then got absolutely thrashed in the third quarter. Memphis took that period, 28-11, then won the final 12 minutes, 33-17, for the easy win.
It was the Pistons first game in six days, and the rust appeared.
"All the hard work we put in these past few days to just fall short like that and let them come out and do what they did in the second half; and come out with the win was definitely tough to swallow," said center Andre Drummond.
Drummond finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds, but Greg Monroe was actually Detroit's leading scorer with 19. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope notched 14 points and Josh Smith chipped in 13. Brandon Jennings handed out 11 assists in a losing effort.
Rodney Stuckey missed the game with a sore right shoulder and is listed as day-to-day.
The Pistons snapped a seven-game losing streak to the Knicks with a win in Detroit on Nov. 19. New York has taken seven straight in MSG.

Just caught this on YouTube... Jun Tzu was born and raised in Belfast and moved to Manchester a while ago.
I've known about him for about 8 years in the music scene in Manchester... very political in his music.
Never really liked him personally but lyrically he's a beast.
Coffee drinker, prefer Pepsi and I'm kind of a big deal.

Back tension
I hear about back tension all of the time, yet I am not sure of what it really is. The muscles in between my shoulder blades are prob. the strongest in my body and that is what I draw with as apposed to using my arms. That is not my concern, it is the point of release that I am really confused- my pins hardly float at all, and I know how it feels different when I am right on 10X, it is the followthrough? I hit the wall at full draw- then what am I supposed to be doing? I can squeeze my back all I want, it does not make my pointer finger "flinch" to make the shot. I am a little confused.- any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are right on with the muscles. And, you should never "flinch" anything.
If you are using a caliper style release, you slowly pull back on the trigger as you are applying the back tension. Your release hand needs to be relaxed.
With a BT release, the release is rotated as your back muscles are drawn together. Thus, firing the release.
Regardless of what release you use, the firing of the release should be somewhat of a surprise.
I hope that helps some.
PinkyTake a kid with you. Show them the Great Outdoors. Pass it on.
When using a caliper release, you need to hook your finger over the trigger and pre-load the trigger. Now you start the BT. If your using the correct muscles, your release hand elbow will move down and reward (behind you) this elbow movement will cause your release to fire. Inorder for this to work, your draw length need to be correct and your release needs to be a little short because you need the trigger set between your first and second knuckle on your index finger. The reason most shooters have problems with this is their draw length is too long and this puts their elbow too low at full draw.

Contrary to popular opinion, either/or ways of living are not the hallmark of Christianity. Both/and pathways to holiness, on the other hand, are.
The Catholic Church is big on third ways, if you think about it. Ever since Jesus died, was buried, and rose again, a different way of being, of living, and of thinking, was made manifest in the world. The early Christians embraced the Way, the Truth, and the Life, without any help from civil authorities, and from a position of complete powerlessness. And yet the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, changed the world through them.
The Holy Spirit still calls us to do the same today. [Read more…]

Learning Environment
McCombs is recognized for its collaborative environment. Before classes even begin, students connect in MBA Orientation through Cohort Olympics--an activity encouraging bonding and healthy competition, as well as various other social and academic events. During the school year, you'll connect with students from all over the U.S. and the world, enriching your perspectives on business and the world in general with the experiences of your classmates prior to joining the program.
The cohort system provides you with a sense of cohesiveness and identity within the MBA program, your class, and among your fellow MBA students. McCombs' unique system is designed to foster opportunities to build teamwork and leadership skills through the instruction given in the MBA core classes. Upon matriculation, your class will be divided and assigned to a cohort of about 65 students, with attention given to balance and diversity across and within each cohort.
The design of cohorts takes into account a wide variety of factors to ensure that you benefit directly from the incredibly diverse backgrounds of your fellow Texas MBA students and to foster interactions with as many cultural, professional, academic, and social backgrounds as possible. Each cohort is established based on a computer program that sorts for such items as undergraduate degree, type of previous employment, home country and home state, gender, and proposed area of concentration.
You will participate in each of your required core courses with your cohort. This common educational experience is designed to imbue all of our MBAs with an appreciation for different approaches to the same problem while endowing you with a competitive, rock-solid foundation for general management capabilities in business, regardless of your subsequent concentrations or earlier career paths.
Within the first two weeks of each fall semester, each cohort will elect two representatives who express the interest and concerns of their cohort to the Graduate Business Council by serving as delegates for the entire second-year program. Each cohort will also be served by an academic advisor and career counselor throughout the entire program.
An integral part of the first-year learning experience will be your assignment to your study team by the MBA Program Office. These teams facilitate cross-functional and cooperative problem-solving experiences. Study teams are usually comprised of four to six students who bring together a wealth of interdisciplinary talent and experience with numerous industries, economies, and nationalities. The criteria for the study team grouping take into account individual strengths and weaknesses, undergraduate institution, home state, home country, and gender. You are encouraged to take full advantage of this opportunity to share background experiences, to support individual members, to use and expand the team's capabilities, and to extend this professional network of valued colleagues.

PHOTOS: Kesha Shows Off Gorgeous New 'Baby Green' Hair
Listen to Kesha Radio on iHeartRadio
Kesha has dyed her hair 'baby green' and you know this one is going to take off!
Unlike the old sludgy greens that were in (I'm looking at you, Katy Perry!) this is a light, delicate, green.
"I kind of like matching my hair to my outfits and I have a lot of hair dye," she told E! News. "Like, I have a bucket of hair dye at my house and I have six days off. I mean I work once a week, so in the meantime, I'm playing with cats and cat toys and hair dye!"
Let's recap all of the colors she's dyed her hair recently:

Library Closed on Labor Day, September 5
The law library, and all Utah State Courts, will be closed on Monday, September 5 for Labor Day. Our regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., resume Tuesday, September 7.
Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, but many states, including Utah, made it a legal holiday before that. Utah declared Labor Day a holiday in 1892, four years before Utah became a state. Historically, Labor Day was a workers' holiday organized by labor unions and gave workers a chance to talk about their problems with management. While some states and local organizations still host Labor Day parades, now the holiday is often thought of as the last long weekend of summer.
For more about the history of Labor Day, check out the Library of Congress' Today in History for September 5 and the Department of Labor's History of Labor Day.
Today, all Utah holidays are codified in the Utah Code at 63G-1-301.

August 6, 2007
On Friday, August 3rd, the President signed in law the "Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007." Families of September 11 has been advocating for the implementation of the 9/11 Commission recommendations since they were released more than three years ago, and applauds the President for signing this important legislation. We also commend the hard work of Congressional leaders and their intrepid staff for all their hard work, late nights and personal sacrifices to make this bill a reality. Lastly, this bill would never have been possible without the support and commitment of the 9/11 Commissioners and their fantastic staff.
Families of September 11 has worked with lawmakers, staff and officials every step of the way to ensure that a strong piece of legislation is enacted. While we were saddened that the President decided not to invite any 9/11 family members to the signing ceremony, we are grateful that the bill has been signed and is now law.
There are many steps left on the road to ensuring what happened on 9/11 never happens again, and Families of September 11 remains committed to taking that journey with our elected officials and national leaders. The recent National Intelligence Estimate warning of the strength of al Qaeda and those who wish to do us harm only reinforces our resolve to make our nation and our world safe and secure.

A9 TV, 27 April 2012
(Regarding pro-government troops burying a young Syrian man in Hama in up to his neck (may Allah forbid) and forcing him to say, "There is no other god than Bashar.")
There are events regarding the savagery of the sufyan, the disembowler as the Messenger of Allah (saas) describes him, in the time of the Mahdi (pbuh). The Messenger of Allah (saas) looked and described what he saw 1400 years ago. He said what would happen in this and that part of Syria and how the sufyan's gang would shed blood region by region. The disemboweling sufyan completely fits the descriptions given. The coming true of the hadiths.
"The sufyan will emerge from a dry valley in Sham. He will have the evil face of the people of the Bnai Calb." These peoples' faces really are very ugly and distorted. They are horrible guys that resemble mafia types. "He will raise an army made up of the hard-hearted," look how they buried that poor young man up to his neck in the earth. "These will oppress people in all directions. The sufyan will tear down mosques and madrassas," and that is actually what they are doing in Syria now. "He will punish everyone who goes to bow and prostrate themselves." Hadiths from our Prophet (saas) cited by Jalaleddin Suyuti.
"One known as the sufyan, will emerge from the middle of Sham, and he and most of his followers will be from the people of the B'nai Calb. He will kill people, and even disembowel women and murder children." (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 40)
These are things happening in Syria now. They are raping devout young girls and women. There is terrible horror going on.
"As the corruption in one part of Sham calms down, it will flare up in another." Our Prophet (saas) is speaking of the time of the Mahdi (pbuh). And that is really happening in Syria. One part calms down and another flares up. "The corruption will not end until a herald angel calls from the sky, 'The mahdi is your amir, your leader'." I am saying that day and night. This scourge will not end until the appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh).
The Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "There will be such scourges and tribulations that nobody will be able to find a place to shelter in." Neither the UN can save them, nor Turkey, nor anyone else. "These scourges will circle around Sham," in Syria. "They will settle on Iraq." Look, Iraq is now in disorder. It is the same thing. "He will tie the hands and feet of the Arabian peninsula … As they try to rid themselves of a scourge in one place, it will spring up somewhere else. " (Kanz al-Ummal, Kitab al-Qiyama Qism al-af'al, Vol. 5, p. 38-39)
(Regarding Allah's creating beauties for Muslims also in this world)
This verse attracted my attention as I was reading this morning. Allah says, "We will give them a good life.." This is a well-known verse. "Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We will give them a good life." says Allah. The majority of people will think that Muslims have a hard time. Indeed, in their eyes "This world is hell for Muslims, but paradise for the unbelievers." That hadith is true, but they probably do not understand it. Hell for Muslims, compared with what? With paradise. And paradise for the unbelievers. Compared with what? With hell. Otherwise, Allah says of believers that "They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) purely for them on the Day of Judgment. "There is good in this world for those who do good," says Allah. What does that mean? Allah has placed no bounds on it. Allah says I will make your bodies, your voices, your expressions, your hair, your food, your homes, your clothes and everything and everywhere beautiful. You will live finely and speak finely and eat finely and die finely. You will come into My presence in a fine state, and I will make paradise beautiful for you, Allah says. This only comes through surrender to Allah. These images of people not surrendering to are a miracle and a sign leading to faith. Not just studying the life of the ant or time, but also people's predisposition to this world. This is a great marvel of faith.
The more immorality they commit, the more Allah crushes them. And the more He crushes them, the more rabid they become. They become even more attached to this world. The more devoted they become, the more Allah crushes them. This system is working very smoothly at the moment. Allah wants to be loved, but properly. Even human beings do not like being loved just normally. How do they like to be loved? With a very great love. Someone may say, "I love Allah." How much do you love Him? And he says, "The Messenger of Allah (saas) will save me from Allah." He does not trust Allah. "My sheikh will save me," he says. As if Allah could make an unjust decision, may He forbid, and the sheikh could save him from it! Many bigots do not love Allah at all. Nor do they love the prophets. They love their own sheikhs and teachers and scholars. They love their own idols.
Every country that does not betray the system of the Mahdi will be great. Everyone who serves the system of the Mahdi will be great. The government will always be victorious because it is on the path of the Mahdi. It will always endure, insha'Allah. You are doing the most sensible and best thing. My congratulations. Anyone who fights against the way of the Mahdi will be defeated, ruined. I can tell them that. This is Allah's promise. It appears explicitly in the Torah. Some parts of the Torah have been corrupted and conflict with the Qur'an. We can see that. But there are many parts that have not been corrupted. Allah is sending a message in the Qur'an. Look at global sovereignty, He says. Look at the Qur'an. Look at the Psalms, He says. And when we look, we see the way of the Mahdi, insha'Allah.
The link to freemasons is very important. They will be the followers of the Messiah and the Mahdi. Adonai is coming, insha'Allah. Adon or Adonai, the master of masters. This is in all their legends. They say that Adon will appear in the last times of the world, that Adonai will appear, and will crush them.
One good thing about freemasonry is that they are opposed to bigotry and love Islam. That is a very good thing. They have seen a rational conception of being a Muslim for the very first time. There was a rational conception, but nobody ever discussed it. But now they are going to their lodges and saying, "what a fine thing Islam is, how fine Muslims are, how lovely the life is. May Allah bless you. And we support you. If that is what being a Muslim is, count us in. May Islam reign across the world. The Templars and the masons and Zionist organizations are all saying the same thing. May Allah preserve Islam and bring about its reign, they say. The chief rabbi who came here embraced me as he was getting into the car and said, "Insha'Allah." Allah has given them all a task. That is what Almighty Allah has ordained. Communists and atheists and unbelievers will all come to have faith. Step by step Islam. People are learning the hidden truths from the Qur'an, from the Treatise of Light [Risale-i Nur]. Nothing is hidden any more.
(In response to a viewer who asks, "When will the appearance of the prophet Jesus (pbuh), who Bediuzzaman says will be known by the light of faith, come about?")
It is in the Gospel. It is coded in the Gospel in the Sight of Allah. "A thousand years for you is one day in the Sight of Allah," it says. The Gospel emphasizes that again. It emphasizes the 1 twice. That makes 2002. I have always said he will come in 2002. Look at the Gospel and see. A secret date is given. Jesus the Messiah says there will be great disorder when he comes. He says there will be two world wars, and that he will come before one human life span has passed since the end of the Second World War. Add 80 or 90 years to the 1940s, and there you are.
"He swears by that truth," the Mahdi. "He is a lion and he who is known as the lion is loving." His name is Lion, but he is very loving, he says. "Morning describes the compassion that refers to Messiah [Mahdi].The Gospel says "you lie down till morning, until Messiah [Mahdi], son of David, who is the light of compassion and is called the lion emerges in the morning." The dawn of Islam, insha'Allah.
"A man (Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear from Transoxania," where the Mahdi's ancestors come from. The Caucasus, regions inhabited by Turks. "He will be called Al-Haris ibn al-Harras." Haris, meaning Lion, son of the lion, in other words. "Haydar al-Karrar," the lion of Allah who turns and fights. "Ali Haydar Murtadha," my ancestor's nickname.
(In response to a viewer who asks, "Will we be able to see the original of matter in paradise?")
No. It will be impossible for us ever to know it as Allah knows it. May Allah forbid, for us to be able to do that, we would have to be Allah. That is impossible. We can never know the original of matter. Nor of time. We can only know what Allah shows us. We can only have faith in the original of matter on the outside. We cannot see or know it. We only have a scientific estimation. Scientifically, it should be dark and without color. And transparent. But we can never have direct experience of the original of it.
Thinking and the knowledge discovered through thinking are knowledge inspired by Allah. The Qur'an tells us the essence of a subject. Allah tells us quite clearly. "I am here, I am One, and I created and love you." "And I want you to love Me. Fear Me, but have a passionate fear. I have created paradise for you. I am eternal and I will make you eternal," He says. "You will have a beginning, but no end," He says. "I will bestow on you the finest blessings, but your love must be most fervent." "Do not doubt Me. Think the best of Me. I create everything with wisdom and for the best. I created the test. You saw when I took the Prophet Adam without the test," He says. More or less, those are not Almighty Allah's exact words, of course. But that is what they mean. "I like you to take pleasure in things and to be happy," He says. "I experience your happiness," Allah says. "I experience all your delights within Me," He says. Because when we experience a taste in our mouths, Allah experiences the same thing. Because Allah creates that delight. When we touch something, Allah experiences the same thing. We experience a copy of the true perception. Allah experiences the original. When we feel pain, Allah experiences the same thing. But it has no effect on Him. Why does it affect us? Because we are very delicate. Something happens and it makes us uncomfortable. Yet Allah feels exactly the same pain and everything. But the pain does not discomfort Him. But it discomforts human beings, because we are so delicate.
The system of the Mahdi will bestow liberty and joy on young girls, and a spirit of love and depth of soul and joy on young boys. Young people are very pessimistic, I see. I look at what is happening on Facebook and everywhere. They are very pessimistic and world-weary. Some try to calm themselves with cigarettes and others with even worse things, may Allah forbid. They are about to burst. They are unwilling to go out or talk to anyone since love has been taken from the world. Most of them suffer from having no true friends. But everyone will be friends in the time of the way of the Mahdi. It will be so easy for people to love one another. There just has to be someone at their head. A rational person; the Mahdi, in other words. He will enable everyone to love and be friends with everyone else. That is easy. But that spirit, that electricity cannot form without a leader at their head.
People have really suffered from that crazy Muslim model. How many crazy teachers have turned up! I have seen vast numbers of insane teachers since I was a child. Why do you have to behave so crazily? Be normal, be reasonable. They speak in a crazy manner. Devoid of any love - I mean no disrespect to religious matters here. The Qur'an is exceedingly logical and reasonable. Almighty Allah wrote it most excellently and handed it down to human beings. Islam is highly consistent and logical. Why behave like a crazy? Why try to portray the faith as a scourge? Why do you try to portray the luminous faith of Allah as so impenetrable? If you are crazy, keep your craziness to yourself. Why try to involve Muslims with you? Muslims have really suffered because of these crazy teachers. I don't know if it is Allah's wisdom or satan leads them astray. They suddenly start acting crazy. Islam is luminous. People can live so well and in such liberty under Islam. It is a lovely faith. Almighty Allah has produced such great ease. How finely we have come into being out of nothing. Allah could have brought our lives to an end in this world. But He says, "I will make you live for ever." How fine that is, thanks be to Allah, masha'Allah. And that is what best befits His glory. Why should Allah make what He loves finite? He loves and wants to love His servant. Allah will not be content with a brief love. Allah wants to be loved for ever. Why should Allah cut short the love of what He loves? Who would want that to be cut off? Allah would never want that. That is why Allah wants to be loved for all time. But with true passion, not a weak love, not with a moderate kind of love.
Allah delights in the appreciation of the beautiful. This is inspiration from Allah to us. Allah also loves Himself to be liked and appreciated. That is how Allah is, He likes it. Allah likes people to love Him with a passionate love. But human beings are very cruel and ungrateful. Allah tells us that in a verse. People give Allah many, many times less love than He deserves. They appreciate Him very little. That is why Allah says they fail to properly appreciate His might. But Allah must be loved with a passionate love. All beauties belong to Him. Look, we always praise you, and all that belongs to Allah. Who shows us that image? Who designed and created it? Allah has no need of design, but I put it that way for clarity. Allah does it. It all belongs to Allah. Allah love and passion must be directed to Him, of course, to Almighty Allah.

Vice President Joe Biden visits RTA facility
(Cleveland) - Vice President Joe Biden says the country must invest in infrastructure if it is to remain the world's preeminent economic force.
Speaking Wednesday at a rail car repair shop in Cleveland, Biden said improvements such as a new train station in the city's little Italy neighborhood will leverage investment and change how nearby residents think about their lives.
He contends, U.S. needs $3.6 trillion in infrastructure investment by 2020 but the nation spends only 1 percent of its gross domestic product on infrastructure and ranks 18th in the world for the quality of its roads.
Biden maintains that the U.S. needs to make the kinds of commitments that other countries are making on infrastructure investment but that some Republicans in congress are "sitting on their hands."
Biden accused Tea Party Republicans of stalling while the National Highway Trust Fund is going broke. Funds are likely to be depleted by September 30th if Congress doesn't act.
Cleveland Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur is hoping a deal can be done to restore the fund before money runs out. She also would like to see FEME money used to assist cities like Cleveland in handling major pothole problems from the winter.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson says the pothole problem is a symptom of the underfunding of infrastructure needs.

Glenn Dorsey, unrestricted free agent, signed with San Francisco
The News
San Francisco inked Dorsey to add to a talented group of defensive lineman a day after losing tackle Isaac Sopoaga to the Philadelphia Eagles and a day before Ricky Jean-Francois signed with the Colts. The former fifth-overall pick of Kansas City agreed to two years and $6 million, with $2.285 million in guaranteed money, according to reports. The five-year veteran has played at least 15 games in each season prior to last year, when he appeared in four games while dealing with calf injuries. His most productive season was 2010, when he made 51 tackles and had a pair of sacks.
The Analysis
Dorsey became a hot name prior to the 2008 draft thanks to his dominant career at LSU. When the Chiefs drafted him in the top-10, the expectations were sky high as onlookers believed he would become one of the NFL's better defensive tackles. But for a variety of reasons, Dorsey never lived up to that billing and became somewhat of an albatross in Kansas City.
The 6-foot-2, 316-pounder struggled as the Chiefs transitioned schemes from the 4-3 – where he was most comfortable in the interior – to the 3-4 in his second pro season. He excelled against the run but didn't produce much against the pass, netting four sacks in his five years.
Many wanted more sacks from Dorsey given where he was drafted, but the 3-4 system called for him to occupy blockers and create lanes for linebackers more so than rushing the passer. It should be noted linebacker Derrick Johnson went to two Pro Bowls and earned all-pro recognition in 2011 while playing behind Dorsey.
The 49ers rarely used three down linemen last season, instead going with Smith and McDonald while Ahmad Brooks and Aldon Smith set the edges. That allowed them to keep five defensive backs on the field to cover three-receiver sets or put a corner on a tight end against base packages.
San Francisco saw a considerable drop in production from the defensive line after Justin Smith, a second-team all-pro selection, suffered a torn triceps tendon in Week 14 against New England. Although Jean-Francois filled in admirably, the former seventh-round pick was often overmatched and Aldon Smith was unable to get to the quarterback as he did when Justin Smith was healthy.
As of now, Dorsey is slotted to be the primary backup to both McDonald and Justin Smith, and should get a decent number of snaps as the team will look to keep its defensive linemen fresh as the season wears on. He has the versatility to play both end and tackle, and could also play the role Sopoaga left behind in short-yardage and base packages.
Going Forward
Defensive line coach Jim Tomsula should be excited to have another talented defensive lineman to work with, despite Dorsey's perceived lack of production with the Chiefs. After seeing the drop off last year when the team was forced to field backups, it became clear adding talent to the group would be a priority with the departures of Sopoaga and Jean-Francois.
If the team is able to get the most out of Dorsey – much like it did with Carlos Rogers, another disappointing top-pick of another team – then he could represent a significant upgrade to the depth department.
Dorsey's versatility could make him the Swiss army knife of the defensive line, but he doesn't solve the team's need for a true nose tackle. That makes it likely San Francisco elects to use one (or more) of its 13 picks to find that player. It's also likely the team will pursue multiple defensive linemen that excel in rushing the passer.
The 49ers were third in the NFL in rushing defense, a strength Dorsey will help the team maintain. But San Francisco was also 20th in sack rate, which isn't an area he's likely help. And although the defense was sixth in passing yards allowed per game, improving the pass rush will add another dimension to an already elite defense.
That means the team will also be in the market for pass rushers to supplement the Smiths and Brooks, who could come in the form of defensive ends or outside linebackers.
Tackles that could be available when the 49ers pick 31, 34, 61 and 74 include John Jenkins, Jonathan Hankins, Jesse Williams, and Brandon Williams. Defensive ends and outside linebackers to keep one eye on might be Margus Hunt, Datone Jones, William Gholston, Quinton Diai, Damion Square and Kapron Lewis-Moore.

How I wash my X3 in my garage in the wintertime video.
Have any of you guys tried using a hose free eco-wash to wash your car?
In this video you will see how I do a hose free car wash in my garage. This is a great way to wash your car in the wintertime when it is to cold to do it outside, or if you have water restrictions. I only used 6 gallons of water to do this car wash. I used the following Chemical Guy products in this video.
Products used:
- Sticky Gel Wheel & Cleaner CITRUS Based HYPER GEL WHEEL CLEANER
- Chemical Guys Hose Free ECOwash
- Extreme V.R.P Dressing
- Hybrid V7- Optical Select -- High Gloss Spray Sealant
- 2 Grit Guard
- Metro Full Size Vac N' Blo 4.0 HP Vacuum
- Some tire and wheel brushes
- A very soft brush for lower body of car
- A microfiber sponge mit
- A few microfiber towels
- 2 waffle weave microfiber towels for windows
I do not work for chemical guys I am only a fan of their products :thumbup:. You can get all of their products at www.chemicalguys.com. I feel as if I have also learned a lot watching their videos on their YouTube page.
Great video but the car only appears to be lightly soiled. My car is presently plastered with mud and road salt and the wheels are covered with brake dust. I use a light pressure hose to clean off the mud and salt especially under the wheel arches before washing with a sponge and bucket using wax and wash, rinsing well and and then drying off with a towelling cloth. I use a rim cleaning gel to remove the brake dust from the wheels and then polish to help prevent brake dust sticking.
Well yes it was not covered in mud. It is a daily driver and if I had let it dry it would've looked white from all the road salt.
Nice video. My approach is very similar to yours. We have plenty of those days in Colorado when it is either below freezing and/or too windy or too much hot sun to wash a car outside. It's gotten so that I rarely actually wash the car in the driveway with a hose and all.
I mostly use Griot's (griotsgarage.com) products. If the car is really dirty, I use multiple buckets of warm water and soft microfiber cloths to gently remove the heavy stuff. This is usually required only after a snow storm or rain, something we have not seen much of here recently.
I then use Griot's Spray-on Car Wash followed by their Spray-on Car Wax, again using the microfiber towels (which make all the difference in the world). Next comes the glass (their glass cleaner is great) and, as necessary, vacuuming and interior cleaning. The whole process, and I am not fast, takes maybe 90 minutes or so. It's my way to relax in solitude on Sunday mornings!
Every 4 to 6 months I apply some of their paste wax. I really like the Premium Carnauba. It's easy to apply and a little goes a long way. One or two times a year I remove the wheels for a thorough cleaning/waxing.
So far, this approach has seemed to work really well. Other than the rock chips that seem inevitable in this part of the world, the finish is holding up and the car looks great.

Marlow: Very excited to see Steenburgen square off against Caputo and Healy.
"Consumers of a product like SiriusXM are more and more niche consumers," Healy wrote.
Healy glanced at Phil swiftly, covertly, as the latter adjusted the glasses.
Father Healy, on hearing it, lost for once his accustomed kindliness.
As Healy emerged from it he saw a rider just disappearing over the shoulder of the hill in front of him.
Father Healy was for the moment bereft of the power of speech.
Healy heard them coming, knew he was trapped, and attempted to force an escape through the narrows in front of Point o' Rocks.
Father Healy, all that I ask of you is your confidence and trust.
Hear Healy and Tanner and that lot are on the war-path, and heaven only knows when the House will be up.
Father Healy has been praying over me, and now you have come to say good-bye.

Jones School Leadership
October 15, 2007 — Imagine arriving in Houston, Texas, for the first time – in August. You've studied at a prestigious university in your home country, have strong GMAT scores, and have several years of professional work experience. Now, you've been accepted to Rice University's MBA program, and you've come to Texas wondering what the professors will be like in this country, how you'll meet other students, and where you might be able to buy your favorite foods from home. You're excited, but you also know – this is a different world. This fall, more than 30 international students representing 12 countries found themselves in that situation. To help them adjust, the Jones Graduate School of Management enrolled them in its International Student Immersion program, also known as international preterm. Starting one week before the regular preterm, the immersion program gave students a head start by helping them meet each other and become familiar with the Jones School, Rice University, and Houston. "This is my first time in the United States, so I had to adapt to a new environment on both the personal and professional fronts. International preterm helped accelerate this process," said Rice MBA student Aarti Subramanian. "Since there were only about 30 students, we got the opportunity to know each other better. The faculty was extremely warm and welcoming. This one week helped familiarize me with the school and also introduced me to the American culture." The immersion program, sponsored by the MBA Program Office in collaboration with the Communications faculty, the Career Management Center, and the Office of International Students and Scholars at Rice, provided a number of key activities for the students designed to help them adapt to both the Rice campus and American life and culture. "We made it a primary goal to offer our international students more than had been available in previous years. We began planning the immersion program last November, so this fall, it was exciting to see it all come together," said Brooke Bond, Associate Director of MBA Programs. First, Rice's Office of International Students and Scholars helped students sort out visas and apply for identification cards and drivers' licenses. Students were given information on bank accounts, learned about housing do's and don'ts, and discussed campus rules and regulations. Visiting speakers from the Office of International Students and Scholars, the Rice Health Care Center, and the Rice Legal Counsel's office helped students make sense of the campus and community and provided information on where to get help if they needed it. Next, students got to know one another. They discussed their background and culture, interviewed each other, and introduced their peers to the class. Second-year students from both the full-time MBA and the MBA for Executives programs shared their experiences and survival tips, and during the school's weekly partio, a "party on the patio," international students mingled with second-year students. Communications faculty and Career Management Center staff provided career management sessions to help students prepare to land an internship. Students learned how to craft a resume and cover letter and received tips for networking with Rice alumni. To help the incoming students get started early on their internship search, recruiters, alumni, and current students enjoyed a game of networking bingo and dinner at El Meson Cuban Restaurant in Rice Village. Throughout the week, students participated in activities and lunchtime sessions designed to help them adjust to American culture. Students learned such cultural basics as how to open and close a conversation, when to maintain eye contact, and how to deliver the perfect handshake. Students tried their hand with American slang and humor and worked with an articulation coach – who, of course, began by teaching them to say "y'all" correctly. On a more academic note, students had the opportunity to discuss general classroom expectations and learn how to engage in class discussions. They talked about how they might interact with their student teams and manage their time well in this new and demanding environment. A dinner out with Jones School Dean Bill Glick and several faculty members allowed the chance for some one-on-one questions and answers. "I found the international preterm really helpful. As an international student, you face the challenges of interacting not only with a different culture, but also with a different teaching method in a completely new environment," said Marcelo Cisneros, a Rice MBA student. "The opportunity to be on campus one entire week before the regular preterm started helped me get to know faculty, students, and the layout of the actual building. It really leveraged my ability to make the most of the regular preterm and consequently in my first term here at Rice," he added. The following week, the other 95 students arrived on campus for regular preterm. The international students greeted them, showed them the building, and taught the out-of-state students how to pronounce "y'all." Small group and individual counseling sessions rounded out preterm to help students set some goals for developing communication and career management skills. International orientation didn't end at the end of the week — students will continue to work with the Communications faculty, the MBA Program Office, and the Career Management Center to develop their skills. The Office of International Students and Scholars also offers a continuing orientation program to help international students be more comfortable in their new home here at Rice.
