The first British ship on the NW Coast.
On that day Cook wrote in his log: "A great many canoes filled with the Natives were about the ships all day, and a trade commenced betwixt us and them, which was carried on with the Strictest honisty on boath sides. Their articles were the Skins of various animals, such as Bears, Wolfs, Foxes, Dear, Rackoons, Polecats, Martins and in particular the Sea Beaver, the same as is found on the coast of Kamtchatka." On the bicentenial...With these words written on March 30, 1778, Cook unknowingly signaled the end of isolation for the West Coast (Nootka) people and the beginning of direct European influence on their life-style. When Cook's ships reached Macao late in 1779, the ragged remnants of the Nootka Sound sea-otter pelts sold for over $10,000, and soon American and English ships were making annual trips to the Northwest Coast in search of "Sea Beaver" pelts. ---- Barbara J. Moon 1978.The beauty of the welcoming ..."... in the evening, several of the larger Canoes saluted us, by making a Circuit around the ships and giving 3 Halloos at their departure. They paddle in most excellent time, the foremost man every 3rd or 4th Stroke making flourishes with his paddle. the halloo is a single note in which they all join, swelling it out in the middle and letting the sound die away. in a Calm with the hills around us, it had an effect infinitely superior to what might be imagined from any thing so simple." --- James Burney wrote, March 30, 1778... and they all joined in a song."The greatest number of the Canoes remained in a cluster around us til ten O'clock, & as they had no arms, & appeared very friendly, we did not care how long they staid to entertain themselves, & perhaps us: a man repeated a few words in tune, & regulated the meaning by beating against the Canoe sides, after which they all joined in a song, that was by no means unpleasant to the Ear.A young man with a remarkable soft effeminate voice after ward sung by himself, but he ended so suddenly & unexpectedly, which being accompanied by a peculiar gesture, made us all laugh, & he finding that we were not ill pleased repeated his song several times. As they were now very attentive & quiet in list'ning to their diversions, we judg'd they might like our musick, & we ordered the Fife & drum to lay a tune; these were the only people we had seen that ever paid the smallest attention to those or any of our musical Instruments, if we except the drum, & that only I suppose from its noise & resemblance to their own drums; they observed the profoundest silence, & we were sorry that the dark hindered our seeing the effect of this musick on their countenances. Not to be outdone in politeness they gave us another song, & we then entertained them with French horns, to which they were equally attentive, but have us no more songs in return, & soon after went away, excepting a few boats that kept paddling around us all that night which was a very cold one." --- From the journal of Lieut. James King, 1778 James Cook's account of the Nootka welcoming ceremony."A considerable number of the Natives visited us daily and every now and then saw new faces. On their first coming they generally went through a singular ceremony they would paddle with all their strength quite round both Ships, A Chief or other principal person standing up with a Spear, or some other Weapon in his hand and speaking, or rather halloaing all the time, sometimes this person would have his face covered with a mask , either that of the human face or some animal, and some times in stead of a weapon would hold in his hand a rattle. After making the Circuit of the ships they would come along side and begin to trade without further ceremony. Very often indeed they would first give us a song in which all joined with a very agreeable harmony." ---- Halpern and Duke, 1978 from the Journal of James Cook.Oral tradition among the Nootka holds...When Cook's ships came into the outer harbor, the local Indians, known ultimately as the Nootka, did not understand what the strange vessels were. The chief sent his warriors in canoes to investigate. Oral tradition among the Nootka holds that they spied one sailor with a hooked nose and another who was a hunchback and identified them in turn with the dog salmon and the humpback salmon, an indication of their fish-like origins. Consequently, they thought Cook's ship to be "a fish come alive into people". The Nootka grew cautious.But the chief "told them to go out there again ... and try to understand what those people wanted and what they were after." They did so and Cook's crew gave them pilot biscuits. The Nootka started saying to each other that the Whites must be friendly and that they, in turn, should welcome the White strangers. They gestured, all the while telling Captain Cook "Nootka, Itchme Nootka, Itchme" - meaning "you go around the harbor." The inhabitants seemed proud and sure, supremely confident in the greatness of their own civilization. They were friendly to their guests. The Nootka were forward people. After they learned that the English would not harm them they showed no fear or distrust. As many as 32 canoes filled with Indians had surround the ships immediately; and 10 to 12 canoes stayed with the Resolution most of the night. Cook's first impression of the Nootka, one that lasted for only two days, was that they were mild and inoffensive, quick to trade, and strictly honest in the process. However, the Indians soon trespassed on the English manners and customs - they laid aside all restraint, mingled freely with the Whites on the ship's decks, and began helping themselves to the ships iron articles. Once they stole a 20 or 30 pound fish-hooks used for fishing the anchor; on another occasions, they stole Cook's gold watch from his cabin while under guard. Many items, including the valued timepiece, were returned, not voluntarily, buy by force. Cook learned that the Indians were willing to impeach one another, and thus it became easy to identify the thieves. The British grew alert against "their thievish tricks." Cook and his men, perhaps too trusting in the first place, now took appropriate precautions to stop the light-fingered tendencies of persons who considered property not personal but communal in nature, and theft a matter of dexterity and even sport. ---- Barry M. Gough, 1978 "Fair" dealings between alien cultures."In general in their dealings with us they acted in a fair part tho' they made no scruple of stealing when they opportunity offered; but upon being detected they would immediately return whatever they had taken and laugh in our faces, as they considered it as a piece of Dexterity that did them credit rather than dishonor." ---- Samwell; in Cooks journal III, pt.2 pg 1100 |

Close to 200 people dressed up as zombies to parade through Halifax in the annual Zombie Walk on Sunday.
Walking though key Halifax landmarks like the public gardens, Spring Garden Road and Grand Parade, zombies interacted with unsuspecting pedestrians, who looked on in amusement and took the opportunity for photos with some of the well-dressed brain hunters.
Metro Halifax photographer Jeff Harper was on hand and captured the following images.

Importance of informatics in biochemistryIn the book "Principles of Genetics" by Snustad and Simmons( great book, highly recommended), they have an interview with a guy called Crow, some really old expert and pioneer of Genetics, who mentions informatics as one of the things that up and coming geneticists should study.
I guess his recommendation can also be expanded to biochemistry in general and my question is, what exactly is the role of informatics in biochemistry and what can I study as somebody who does not specialize explicity in bioinformatics.

Why does Mrs. Gardiner think Wickham is an unsuitable match for her niece?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Mrs. Gardiner, the aunt of Elizabeth, does not see Wickham as being a suitable match for her niece. This is mostly because of the times that they lived in. As much as Elizabeth saw love as a desirable part of marriage, Mrs. Gardiner saw marriage as many of that time did; as a practical institution. Therefore, because she knew that Wickham could not afford to marry Elizabeth, Mrs. Gardiner suggested to Elizabeth that it might be best if she were to discourage him from coming to visit so often.

Basic Butter Cream
Sugar | 1 Pound | |
Butter | 1 Pound | |
Water | 1⁄4 Pint |
Put sugar with the water into a clean saucepan.
Bring to boil, stirring several times until it begins to boil.
Now take a cupful of cold water and a clean brush and with the wet brush wash off grains of sugar from sides of dish, into boiling sugar.
Repeat this operation a number of times and keep removing the scum from top with the brush.
This is necessary to dissolve all grains of sugar because sugar crystals may turn the whole cream gritty.
After cooking for about 5-10 mins. (depending on the heat), test, dipping the handle of the brush or of a clean wooden spoon into cup of water, then into the boiling sugar, and then again into cold water.
Mould the sample of sugar sticking to the handle between fingers.
It is of the proper consistency when you can shape a soft ball of it.
Remove from heat and let it cool thoroughly.
In the meantime cream butter in a bowl with egg beater.
Now pour the completely cold thick syrup into the butter gradually, stirring all the time, and mix well.
A simpler way to make this cream is to add castor sugar to the butter, and cream the butter with the sugar.
In this way, however, tiny grains of sugar are left undissolved and you get a heavy, mudlike cream.
Made with boiled sugar, the cream will be light and fluffy.
If you want a light and fluffy cream, be sure to cream the butter well.

Information An Overview of DolutegravirMay 7, 2015 Brand Name: Tivicay Chemical Image:
WARNING: Dolutegravir can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. These include allergic reactions and liver problems. Contact your health care provider right away if you develop a rash while taking dolutegravir.
Stop taking dolutegravir and get medical help right away if you have any of the following symptoms that could be signs of liver problems:
Do not take dolutegravir if you take dofetilide. Taking dolutegravir and dofetilide can cause side effects that may be life threatening. What Is Dolutegravir?Dolutegravir is a prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV infection in adults and children 12 years of age and older and weighing at least 88 pounds (40 kilograms). Dolutegravir is always used in combination with other HIV medicines. Dolutegravir belongs to a class (group) of HIV drugs called integrase inhibitors. Integrase inhibitors block an HIV enzyme called integrase. (An enzyme is a protein that starts or increases the speed of a chemical reaction.) By blocking integrase, integrase inhibitors prevent HIV from multiplying and can reduce the amount of HIV in the body. HIV medicines can't cure HIV/AIDS, but taking a combination of HIV medicines (called an HIV regimen) every day helps people with HIV live longer, healthier lives. HIV medicines also reduce the risk of HIV transmission. What Should I Tell My Health Care Provider Before Taking Dolutegravir?Before taking dolutegravir, tell your health care provider:
How Should I Take Dolutegravir?Dolutegravir comes in tablet form. Each tablet contains 50 mg dolutegravir (brand name: Tivicay). Take dolutegravir according to your health care provider's instructions. Take dolutegravir by mouth, with or without food. Always take dolutegravir in combination with other HIV medicines. If you take too much dolutegravir, contact your health care provider or local poison control center (1-800-222-1222) right away, or go to the nearest hospital emergency room. For more information on how to take dolutegravir, see the FDA drug label from DailyMed. (DailyMed is a federal website that includes the most recent drug labels submitted to FDA.) What Should I Do if I Forget a Dose?If you miss a dose of dolutegravir, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. But if it is within 4 hours of your next dose, skip the missed dose and just take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. What Side Effects Can Dolutegravir Cause?Dolutegravir can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. These include allergic reactions and liver problems. (See the WARNING above.) Other possible side effects of dolutegravir include:
Tell your health care provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of dolutegravir. To learn more about possible side effects of dolutegravir, read the drug label or package insert or talk to your health care provider or pharmacist. The AIDSinfo fact sheet on HIV Medicines and Side Effects also includes information that may apply to dolutegravir. You can also report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 (1-800-332-1088) or online at www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/. How Should Dolutegravir Be Stored?

GE's attempting to use on-board navigation instead of ground-based radar beacons to better choreograph the landing of commercial aircraft. The goal is to reduce fuel usage, shorten flights, and lower the noise from landing aircraft by shortening the routes. It's pretty cool.

It's parties that choose electoral systems (or Duverger's Law upside down)
This article presents, discusses and tests the hypothesis that it is the number of parties what can explain the choice of electoral systems, rather than the other way round. Already existing political parties tend to choose electoral systems that, rather than generate new party systems by themselves, will crystallize, consolidate or reinforce previously existing party configurations. A general model develops the argument and presents the concept of 'behavioral-institutional equilibrium' to account for the relation between electoral systems and party systems. The most comprehensive dataset and test of these notions to date, encompassing 219 elections in 87 countries since the 19th century, are presented. The analysis gives strong support to the hypotheses that political party configurations dominated by a few parties tend to establish majority rule electoral systems, while multiparty systems already existed before the introduction of proportional representation. It also offers the new theoretical proposition that strategic party choice of electoral systems leads to a general trend toward proportional representation over time.

One of the oldest culinary traditions in American cooking is serving beans and greens on New Year's Day. Tradition has it that eating "poor" on the first day of the year brings wealth and good fortune throughout the rest of the year.
The greens represent paper money, and the beans, usually black-eyed peas, coins. I've posted all my beans and greens videos below. You can also click the titles to read the original posting with ingredients. These recipes are so tasty, the fact that they may, or may not, bring prosperity won't seem to matter. Happy New Year, and enjoy!

Posted over 8 years ago I was was in the northwest district the other night and i came across this poem. I wanted to share with ya. TRYING TO UNDERSTAND by Daniel T. Dunbar " Is Daddy coming home soon ?" asked a precious little face. "It's past when he should be home, is he working on a case?" "Your Dad's not coming home, son: he's working late tonight. He's a policeman up in heaven, making sure that we're alright." "But Mommy, why'd he leave us ? I miss him when he's gone." " I know you miss him, darling, but know we must be strong." " Who's gonna' teach me baseball, and help me fly my kite, And help me with my homework, and buy me my first bike ?" " Your Daddy loved you, darling, and he didn't want to leave. But a bad man took your Daddy, and left us all to grieve. Be proud of who your dad was, and how he earned his pay Because it's people like your Daddy that keeps us safe each day." "Mommy, when I get bigger, and if its ok with you, I'm gonna' be like Daddy and be a policeman, Too!!!!!!" |

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
The Price of GOP Obamacare Sabotage In One Chart
The difference between the top and the bottom groups tells the whole story. Those states, like California and New York, that have fully bought into the ACA have performed exceedingly well in enrolling their citizens. They're already 43 percent of their way toward their projected Medicaid enrollment, as calculated by Skocpol, and 37 percent of the way there on private coverage.
But as involvement goes down, so does enrollment. Those states, like Florida and Texas, that decided to opt out completely have only enrolled 1.5 percent of their potential Medicaid population if they had expanded the program as originally planned. By leaving their citizens to deal with problem-plagued HealthCare.gov, private enrollment is struggling, too: Only 5.6 percent toward the mark.
That means that thousands in those "Just Say No" states are going without coverage because their state leaders stubbornly refused to participate in any way, shape or form in Obamacare.
"You go back to how the law was designed, for better or worse, it gave states a lot of responsibility," Skocpol told TPM. "The states that have actually done things the way the law envisaged are the ones that are, at this early stage, doing the most toward those goals."
"But the 'Just Say No' states are putting all their lower income residents at risk," she continued, "not just by refusing to expand Medicaid but also, in many cases, by failing to help people get subsidized private coverage through the exchange."
A few things to keep in mind. First, these are aggregate numbers. Some "Full-Go" states like California and Kentucky have had excellent Obamacare experiences so far, but others, like Hawaii and Oregon, have struggled mightily. Second, the "Just Say No" states have had their private coverage enrollment slowed thus far by the failures of the federal government's HealthCare.gov website.
Lastly, it's likely that the numbers, at least for private enrollment, will narrow before the end of open enrollment in March. The data that Skocpol used included more recent enrollment figures for state marketplaces, but nothing more recent than Nov. 30 for the states using HealthCare.gov. The Obama administration has said that about 975,000 enrolled nationwide through the federal site in December.
But the underlying narrative will likely persist, especially if states continue to refuse the Medicaid expansion. Those that bought into the law will go a long way toward covering their uninsured; those that haven't will continue to leave a major portion of their uninsured without coverage.

According to a recently released German study, the supposed "environmentally friendly" compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL's), are reported to have "cancer causing chemicals" that are sent out when the light is switched on, reports London's Daily Telegraph: Their report advises that the bulbs should not be left on for extended periods, particularly near someones head, as they emit poisonous materials when switched on. Peter Braun, who carried out the tests at the Berlin's Alab Laboratory, said: For such carcinogenic substances it is important they are kept as far away as possible from the human environment.

Oh my gosh!
I am sure I am going to die from this crap.
Last year I was changing a few of them that did not fit where they were supposed to fit so I bent them a little. Then I turned on the lights and they did not work at all.
Soon I felt light headed and for a week my throat was like mucus. I definitely got gassed.
Let us see how quickly the EPA$$'s rally round the campfire (LED of course as we do not want to put smoke into the atmosphere) and after singing a few songs from the "book of the undead" the LEAP into action and ban the offending globes, thus returning us to the original effort of incandescent bulbs.
Oh wait up, that would mean they would have to show their complete lack of analysis, testing, and scientific findings, and say they were wrong........ not bloody likely.
So if anyone is interested I woul go long on "green" solar lighting.... available freely, every day, just use mirrors to get it into all your dark places.
As for the dark times... a HUGE BULL run on Band-aid Manufacturers seems to be a sure bet.
Just saying......
Well, it is mercury vapor lighting, is it not?
I use them in my tack room so mice won't nest in there with light and they are cheap. Other than that, I have no use for them.
You can always use the busted ones for your dark room.
Sue the Sierra Club.
Sue the Natural Resources Defense Council.
They push the Mecury on us.
So Congress has sentenced us all to buy cancer causing light bulbs!?! Class action lawsuit!
The incandescent is terribly inefficient. We shouldn't stop pushing forward on lamp technology.
I see all the complaints from folks over CFL or LED lamps and wonder if oil lamp users were the same way when the incandescent bulb came along.
You've got to be kidding. The electric light swept the world, especially the U.S., like wildfire.
Yes, incandescent bulbs are inefficient, but their only hazard is from broken glass if they are dropped and they can be safely disposed in the trash.
An FYI ping.
I am affected by CFL bulbs. They make things look slightly pixellated. Yes, it's weird. It also causes headaches if I am in their presence too long. These are not an option for me and some others. LED is much better.
Literally, Bush´s fault.
No, they weren't forced by the government to switch.
ANY material that contains plastic that is heated significantly will release some level of these....computers, computer monitors, TV's, normal fluorescent lights
Please remember to turn off the light when entering a room.
If you live long enough the big C will eventually show up somewhere on your body.
Actually, you can still get and use oil lamps, if you so choose. The key there is 'choose'. FedGov has said "thou shalt not HAVE incandescent." There is no 'choice' involved.
Yes, we should keep moving forward and we should preserve choice.

School record falls at UNK Invite
The opening of the track season always prompts questions about what level athletes will be setting as their base for the season.
Some of those questions were answered positively as the Gothenburg girls track team placed fourth at the University of Nebraska at Kearney Indoor Meet Saturday.
"We only took juniors and seniors because of freshman and sophomore meet limitations that we're going to encounter this year," Swede coach Steve Reeves said. "First meet, right out of the gate, we had some kids compete very, very well."
Tiani Reeves, a junior, broke her own school record in the long jump by nearly four inches. Her winning jump of 18-11 beat the record she set at the state meet when she was a freshman.
She also won the triple jump with a distance of 38-3.
"Tiani had a good day," the coach said.
Gothenburg's 4x400 relay cruised to a nearly seven-second win with a time of 4:21.88. Members of the foursome include Regan Geiken, Reeves, Taylor Mroczek and Aryn Meisinger.
Geiken was a runner-up in the 400 with a time of 1:03.56.
"Regan really ran two nice quarters," the coach said referring to the open 400 and the 4x400 relay.
Emily Franzen posted the other second place finish with a toss of 37-1 in the shot.
The Swedes ranked fourth, with 48 points, among the nine Class B schools competing. The Holdrege Dusters breezed to the team championship with 142 points.
Gothenburg will compete in the Sidney Invitational Saturday.

Jerome Harrison, a running back for the Detroit Lions, was poised to be traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for running back Ronnie Brown and a pick in the 2013 NFL draft. All that stood in the way was the physical that is usually conducted prior to a trade. But the trade was voided after what was initially reported as "previously undisclosed health issues."
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that two league sources tell him the health issues are actually a brain tumor that was revealed during Harrison's physical. Without the trade being made, no physical would've been conducted – so it may have saved Harrison's life.
The sources also tell Schefter the tumor is now being treated and while Harrison is not expected to play again in the 2011 season, his long-term prognosis for life and even for playing professional football again appear to be positive.

"They are often lush, showy wines with low acidity and redolent with dark fruits and toasty notes. They have been priced stratospherically in recent vintages so if you enjoy the style, you might have to call Hank Paulson for a bailout."

We are an Islamic bookstore, and non-Muslims who live with us come in and buy copies of the Mushaf (the Qur'an in Arabic only, with no commentary or translation of the meanings), and of course they touch the Mushaf because they give it as a gift to a Muslim friend or brother, on the basis that they live in the same land. What is the ruling on that? Because we cannot prevent them or not sell to them, because that would provoke turmoil, as you know. This is a matter that comes up repeatedly, and they do indeed give the Mushaf as a gift to neighbours and the like. What is the correct approach that is appropriate in our country's current circumstances and in accordance with the tolerance of Islam?.
It is not permissible for one who is in a state of impurity to touch the Qur'an, whether that impurity is major or minor, because of what is mentioned in the letter of 'Amr ibn Hazm that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) sent to the people of Yemen, in which it says: "No one should touch the Qur'an but one who is in a state of purity." Narrated by Maalik, 468; Ibn Hibbaan, 793; al-Bayhaqi, 1/87
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar said: This hadeeth about the letter mentioned was classed as saheeh by a number of leading scholars, not in terms of the isnaad, but in terms of being very well known. Ash-Shaafa'i said in ar-Risaalah: They did not accept this hadeeth until it was proven to them that it was the letter of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
Ibn 'Abd al-Barr said: This letter is well-known to scholars of the Prophet's biography (seerah), and its contents are well known to the scholars. It is so well known that there is no need for an isnaad, because it is akin to tawaatur (the process by which a hadeeth or report was narrated from so many by so many that it is inconceivable that they could all have agreed upon a lie), so it was accepted by the scholars.
End quote from at-Talkhees al-Habeer, 4/17
This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Irwa' al-Ghaleel, 1/158
The kaafir (disbeliever) combines both kinds of impurity: if he becomes junub (impure following sexual activity), he does not do ghusl, and even if he did do ghusl, it would not be valid. Hence the majority of fuqaha' are of the view that the kaafir should not be allowed to touch the Mushaf.
It says in al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 38/19:
Kaafir touching the Mushaf or working in the copying out or production of Mushafs:
The kaafir should be prevented from touching the Mushaf, just as a Muslim who is in a state of janaabah should be prevented from touching it. In fact it is more important that the kaafir be prevented from touching it at all, whether he does ghusl or not. In al-Fataawa al-Hindiyyah it says that Abu Haneefah said: If he does ghusl, it is permissible for him to touch it. And it was narrated in al-Bahr from Abu Haneefah and Abu Yoosuf that he should be prevented in all cases, and the kaafir should be prevented from working in the production of Mushafs. Similar to that is what al-Qalyoobi said: The kaafir should not be allowed to bind the Mushaf or apply gold colour to the cover... End quote.
See also 37/282
The majority of fuqaha' are of the view that the kaafir should be prevented from touching the Mushaf, because the kaafir is najis (impure), so the Mushaf should be kept away from his touch.
Muhammad, one of the companions of Abu Haneefah, held a different opinion. He said: There is nothing wrong with him (the kaafir) touching the Mushaf if he has done ghusl, because the factor that is preventing him from doing that is physical impurity (hadath), which is removed by doing ghusl; rather what remains is the spiritual impurity of his belief, but that is in his heart, not in his hand. End quote.

It is permissible for a kaafir and one who is in a state of minor impurity to touch a tafseer (commentary), a translation of the meanings of the Qur'an, or a book that contains the Qur'anic text, translation and commentary.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: With regard to the translation of the meanings of the Qur'an, there is nothing wrong with a kaafir touching it, because what is meant by a translation is that it is a book of tafseer and is not Qur'an. In other words, the translation is a commentary on the meanings of the Qur'an, so if a kaafir or one who is not in a state of purity touches it, there is nothing wrong with that, because it does not come under the rulings on Qur'an. The rulings on Qur'an only apply to that which is written in Arabic only and in which there is no commentary. But if there is a translation with it, it comes under the ruling on tafseer (commentary), and it is permissible for a person who is in a state of minor impurity or a kaafir to carry it, because it is not a book of Qur'an; rather it is regarded as a book of tafseer.
End quote from Fataawa ash-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 24/340
See also the answer to question no. 10694
Based on that, it is possible to be gentle and polite in preventing the kaafir from touching the Mushaf by hastening to ask him, "Do you have wudoo'?" That is so as to inform him that the Mushaf can only be touched by one who has wudoo'. If you yourself do not have wudoo', and you pick up the Mushaf with a piece of cloth, or you put on gloves, for example, to open it and turn its pages, this will be something good that will demonstrate the sanctity of the Qur'an and will dispel any doubt from the Christian's mind, because we prevent a Muslim who does not have wudoo' from touching the Mushaf just as we also prevent the non-Muslim from doing so.
If he wants to buy it, you can pick up the Mushaf and show it to him, and give him something to put on his hand if he wants to look at it himself, then you can wrap it for him in a wrapper that is suitable for giving.
It is permissible to give him in the first place a Mushaf that has a commentary in the margins, or a translation of the meanings; in this case it is not required to be in a state of purity in order to touch it, as stated above.
You should also try to wrap it for him, so long as you know that he wants to buy it to give as a gift, to prevent him from touching it.
And Allah knows best.

Brake Lines
Hello...I had someone from this forum work on my Jeep before. I don't remember his name, he lives in Troy (19/Livernois area?) and at the time he was doing a lot of work on Jeeps from this forum. Anyway, I wanted to get in touch with him to see if he can do some brake work for me so if anyone knows who I am talking about please let me know.
I have a 97 TJ and my front passenger side steel brake line is corroded and is just leaking. I need to replace it but just decided since it's all original that I should replace the whole thing. I've never done it before and it doesn't look hard but I just don't have time. I've read that it's cheaper to just buy the line and bend it yourself than buying the pre-made ones. So that's what I need done. I live in Sterling Hts 18/Ryan area and if you guys know who I'm talking about please let me know. If he's not available anymore and you or someone you know can do this for me that would be great. Let me know, thanks!!! Mike |

They offer pre-bent lines for that? I use the parts store lines and mimic the bends in it. Will need two pieces since it crosses over under the radiator. It's not hard, but it can be frustrating getting the line in position.

Almost at the top of Cadillac Mountain on a particularly beautiful day.
As you can see, the foliage has gone by it's peak, probably during the storm that blew through New England a couple of days ago. However, it's still Vermont and it's still awesome wicked beautiful.

What's Your Favorite Chamber Music Venue?
Wednesday, January 19, 2011
New York City is a town where chamber groups and Powerhouse Pianists thrive in every possible line-up and configuration. But a brilliant hall can really enhance how you experience a performance. Let us know where you most like to sit.

Comments [13]
particularly conducive enviroment for embrasssing the composer's message
There is no place like Merkin Hall for intimacy and sound as well as variety of programing
As a performer who has experience as performer and audience member, my voting, IMHO, would be in order of preference for chamber music programming: Juilliard's Concert Hall; Frick, though small, excellent; Kaufman Concert Hall at the 92nd St. Y; Gilder Lehman Hall at the Morgan Library with 236 to 295 persons , capacity; Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and the Manhattan School of Music's Recital Hall, which I remember performing in when the building was Juilliard; Alice Tully Hall; Weill Concert Hall at Carnegie and Town Hall line up in caboose order, only relative in degree to the previously mentioned, but still solidly representative of the performance given.
I know this is extending the question beyond the boundaries given, but I wanted to mention the summer chamber music festival, Music Mountain in Connecticut. The simple, summer-camp-like hall has great sound and, if you sit fairly close to the stage, a great view of the musicians.
One of the definitions of a good chamber music venue is that it should make absolutely no difference where you sit. It's size must be limited by being able to provide an intimate listening experience to everyone.
The first ten rows of Avery Fisher are very good, after that it's dry as dust.
Merkin is terrific when you sit in the audience, but when you're on stage it's very difficult to hear the other people you're performing with. You have to watch them to stay in sync. Peculiar.
House of the Redeemer (Fabbri Chamber Series), 7 West 95th Street, a NYC Landmark.The music room is a wood-paneled Italian Renaissance library moved from Italy almost 100 years ago by Cornelius Vanderbilt's granddaughter. Seats about 120, give or take.
What about Lefrak Hall at Queens College.
Great acoustics and seats 450 people.
Can't believe you left out Zankel Hall - great acoustics (alright a little subway noise), a terrific design and ambiance. It's got Weill beat by a mile.
Two iconic chamber music venues didn't seem to make the list: the Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium at the Metropolitan Museum and the Kaufman Concert Hall at the 92nd Street Y. While the new Alice Tully Hall is gorgeous, either of those other venues has a history that's difficult to ignore.
The finest venue is the one used by the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players. It is the Good Shepherd Church on 66th Street, Between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. There are no finer programs, musicians or acoustics.
What about the 92nd St. Y? Wonderful chamber music venue.
Also excellent is the concert hall at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
You left out TOWN HALL - an historic gem with (admittedly) mediocre sight-lines, but fine sound. I find Caspary cold and brittle by comparison. You can have Tully; Weill's good; the Frick divine.
How about the Morgan Library's auditorium?
You left out the marvelous domed Caspary Auditorium on the campus of Rockefeller University, where free concerts are given every friday at noon during the academic year.

Crab on a loop
So here's how to make a crab quickly.
Tie in some marabou at the bend and wrap up around so it points upward.
Tie in some rubber legs so they point straight up.
Wrap some .035 wire from a point opposite the hook point all the way to the eye, saturate with glue then cover with floss.
Form a loop and bring the thread forward.
I use a gallows to hold the loop, it makes life easier, comb out some EP or similar fibers and insert in the loop keeping them as parallel as possible and spin the loop.
Palmer the loop forward while teasing the fibers back so you don't wind over them, tie off at the head and tie in some rubber legs, whip finish.
Tease out the fibers and comb them out into a flat shape, then put UV acrylic along the hook top and bottom to hold fibers in place.
Our tradition is that of the first man who sneaked off to the creek when the tribe did not really need fish. Haig-Brown

Brodeur eyes fifth Vezina in Vegas
by Staff Writer / New Jersey DevilsBrodeur has won four of last six Vezinas. |
The Vezina Trophy is presented annually to "the goalkeeper adjudged to be the best at his position" as voted by the general managers of each of the 30 clubs. It was first awarded in 1926-27 to honor Georges Vezina, goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens who collapsed during an NHL game on Nov. 28, 1925, and died of tuberculosis a few months later.
The winner of the trophy will be announced at the 2010 NHL Awards Show, to be held in Las Vegas on June 23. The NHL Awards Show will be broadcast live from the Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Hotel Las Vegas on VERSUS in the United States and CBC in Canada.
Here is a closer look at the finalists.
Martin Brodeur, New Jersey Devils The Devils' primary netminder since 1993-94, Brodeur is no less dominant at age 37 and was the second oldest goalie in the NHL, trailing only Dwayne Roloson.
"In my mind, he's the best to ever play the game," Atlanta goaltender Johan Hedberg said. "He's a proven winner. It's always a fun challenge to play against him. It's so impressive. Being that consistent for so many years playing that many games a season it's just extremely impressive. He has all the ingredients of just being the best. He's always in there; he very seldom misses a game and is just night in and night out consistent."
Brodeur led all NHL goalies in games played (77), starts (76), wins (45) and shutouts (9), was third in goals-against average (2.24), and seventh in shots against (2,004) and saves (1,836). Brodeur's win total was three behind his NHL record of 48 (2006-07).
He has already captured the 2009-10 William Jennings Trophy for fewest team goals allowed. Memorable highlights of the past season include Brodeur becoming the first goalie in League history to reach 600 career wins, passing Terry Sawchuk as the all-time leader in shutouts (110), and passing Patrick Roy for most career games played by a goaltender (1,076).
"He's one of the best players ever in goal and, for me, personally, to play against him and Jersey is always tough. They are one of the more difficult team's in the League to play because of him," Montreal defenseman Andrei Markov said. "He's a legend and future Hall of Famer. There's nothing I can say more."
Brodeur previously won the Vezina in 2007-08, 2006-07, 2003-04 and 2002-03. He has also placed second three times, third once, and fourth twice.
Ilya Bryzgalov, Phoenix Coyotes On Nov. 17, 2007, the Coyotes claimed goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov off waivers from the Anaheim Ducks. Since then, he's been their mainstay in net, and after two 26-win campaigns, Bryzgalov really came into his own in 2009-10.
"You've got to improve yourself every day," Bryzgalov said on the eve of Phoenix's first playoff game since 2002. "...You've got to develop yourself to be the best. Only this ... can bring you postseason trophies like the Stanley Cup."
The native of Togliatti, Russia was second in the League in shutouts (8), third in wins (42), sixth in goals-against average (2.29), seventh in starts (69), eighth in shots faced (1,961) and saves (1,805), and tied for ninth in save percentage (.920). Several of those figures are career-bests, including a shutout streak of 137:46, which included parts of three games from Oct. 12-15.
In 2009-10, Bryzgalov etched his name in the Winnipeg-Phoenix franchise record book, setting a new single-season record for wins, and tying Nikolai Khabibulin's franchise record for most shutouts in a season.
"He's been so good and so consistent," captain Shane Doan said. "And when Bryzy is really, really good, it looks so easy. I think sometimes he doesn't get the credit he deserves because he makes it look so easy. He's so square, and he's so solid with his technical game. He just continues to be our best player."
The only other goaltender in Coyotes team history to place in the top three in Vezina voting is Sean Burke, who placed third in 2002 behind Jose Theodore (Montreal) and Patrick Roy (Colorado).
Ryan Miller, Buffalo Sabres Miller's seventh NHL season was his finest hour. He established a single-season franchise with 41 victories, and won at least 30 games for the fifth straight season. Miller posted the second longest shutout streak of his career, going 148:31 without permitting a goal from Nov. 28 to Dec. 3. His superb netminding led Buffalo to its first division title and postseason appearance since 2006-07.
"I want to compete and challenge every night. I've worked hard to identify parts of my game that I had to work on the past 3-4 years to challenge to be an elite goalie in this League," Miller said after the first month of the season, when he was the last goaltender to remain unbeaten in regulation.
Among all NHL goaltenders, Miller was second in goals-against average (2.22) and save percentage (.929) -- both career bests -- third in saves (1,948), fourth in wins and shots faced (2,098), tied for seventh in games (69) and shutouts (5), and eighth in starts (68).
"He's a pretty in-control goalie," said New Jersey's Martin Brodeur, himself a four-time Vezina winner. "I've known him for a long time and have played against him for a long time. He's a guy that, technique-wise, is pretty together. He doesn't take himself out of the play. He's pretty solid and he's really competitive."
Miller would become the fifth goaltender in franchise history to win the Vezina. Dominik Hasek captured the honor in 2000-01, 1998-99, 1997-98, 1996-97, 1994-95 and 1993-94, and Tom Barrasso placed first in voting in his rookie season of 1983-84. Bob Sauve and Don Edwards shared the Vezina in 1979-80, when the honor was given to the goalkeeper(s) of the team allowing the fewest number of goals during the regular season (the current criteria for the William Jennings Trophy).

John Gidding
John Gidding | |
Born | Istanbul, Turkey |
January 7, 1977
Occupation | Television Personality, Architect, Model |
Years active | 2000–present |
John Gidding (born January 7, 1977) is a Turkish-American architect, television personality, and former fashion model.
Gidding started modeling in 2000 as a graduate student, performing runway shows for Armani, Gucci, and Hugo Boss before being represented by Wilhelmina Models in New York City. Before entering the design profession, Gidding was the spokesmodel for Jhane Barnes in 2004 and 2005. He's also been on the covers of numerous romance novels.
He was voted one of "Yale's 50 Most Beautiful People" in 1999 by Rumpus Magazine, one of "Boston's 50 Most Eligible Bachelors" by The Improper Bostonian in 2002, one of "Atlanta's 50 Most Beautiful People" by Jezebel Magazine and as one of Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles's "Emerging Talent: Twenty Under 40" in 2008.[1]
Gidding was born in Istanbul, Turkey to an American father and a Turkish mother.[2][3][4]
He lived in Turkey until moving to the United States for college after attending Leysin American School in Leysin, Switzerland. He graduated from Yale University in 1999 with a BA in architecture, then the Harvard Graduate School of Design with a Master's in architecture. At Yale he sang a cappella with The Society of Orpheus and Bacchus, and choral music with the Yale Glee Club, and at Harvard he sang with the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum.
Gidding moved to New York City where he started John Gidding Design, Inc. after working for two years as a landscape architect for Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates.
Gidding's start in television was with the ABC Family TV show Knock First, where he and three other designers took turns making over teenagers' bedrooms. Designed to Sell (Giddings' previous show from 2006 to 2011) was canceled in early 2011 but still airs repeats on HGTV, and Knock First is still running in syndication internationally.
He is best known as the architect-designer on Curb Appeal:The Block[1] where his team spent $20,000 on improvements to the exterior and landscaping of chosen homeowners. Less expensive touch-ups were done for 2 or 3 nearby neighbors' homes to improve overall neighborhood property values. In 2015 he was one of the expert judges on the Fox TV show Home Free (2015 TV series).
Personal life[edit]
He is openly gay, and, as of August 2013, he is married to dancer Damian Smith.[5]

Pros: Comfortable, well made, the sound! semi-affordable, attractive, great packaging
Cons: None
I was lucky to find my pair for sale at the price I paid (so my saying this is a bargain is based upon the relatively low amount I had to part with.) Firstly, i'm not, by any means - an audiophile (yet.) Although I love music, love to put my headphones on my head and relax, I am still coming to terms with all of the lingo and what not.
To the headphones. I've never owned an audiophile paid of full-sized headphones before. The closest I came was the 515s then the 595s. Both were okay, but lacked any real character. When I stumbled upon this site, I couldn't hold back any longer. I sold my other cans and invested in a pair of 650s and a Little Dot MK III Amp.
I quickly had a silver cable w/Eichmann interconnects and a pro looking LOD connector made, and I bought a nice new iPhone dock. This combination really is magical. I have converted all of my audio to Apple lossless and this sounds just magical.
The sound from the cans themselves is impressive. The bass is fair, clean and full of conviction, though not overly 'bassy.' The treble is smoothe and definitely not shrill, so far I have experienced, and enjoyed the following genres, on these headphones: Rock, classic rock, classical, jazz, blues and some easy listening. Great headphones, really have me hooked on sound - can't put them down.

Reform of competition law delayed
The amendment of the Competition Act implementing EC Regulation 1/2003 (see www.practicallaw.com/a39718 "Amendment to the Competition Act") did not come into force on 1 May 2004, as originally intended. Prolonged discussions in the upper chamber of Parliament have caused delays in the legislative process. It appears unlikely that the revised Competition Act will come into force before the end of May 2004.

First Quebec's government outlawed dissent with its notorious Bill 78, which galvanized hundreds of thousands of Canadians in the struggle against university tuition hikes. Now Russia's parliament has approved legislation fining demonstrators more than $9,000 and organizers as much as $18,000.
The bill was backed by 132 senators, with one opposing and one abstaining. It now waits to be signed by President Vladimir Putin, who is expected to make it law in time for anti-government protests planned in Moscow next week.
The bill boosts fines for violations from the current maximum 5,000 roubles (£99; $152) to 300,000 for participants and 600,000 for organisers.
... Gennady Gudkov, an MP with the opposition Just Russia party, described the bill as "draconian", saying it reflected the Kremlin's "fear of people".
"It is the path toward civil war, it is the path towards massive repression and we all know how that ends: in blood, poverty and revolution," Mr Gudkov said.

01 Series is not only tyre, it includes a range of services and tools for our customers to enhance their performance.
Receipt of tyres – Area of conservation
In bad weather conditions, unloading at the time of receipt must be carried out in a covered area; in any event, if water is found inside the tyres, this must be removed immediately.
Unloading must not be carried out by dropping the tyres or by any other method which could damage the quality or visual aspect of the tyres.
Tyres must not be moved by inserting the forks of a fork lift truck through the center of a tyre which could damage the bead area.
Tyres must be stored inside a clean, dry and ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight or other source of artificial light (illumination must be realized with lamps of low ultraviolet and infrared emission).
In the case of temporary external storage, the tyres must be covered (eg. with an impermeable opaque material) and protected from contact with water and humidity.
The storage temperature must be less than 35°C and preferably less than 25°C. A temperature greater than 50°C, especially if stock rotation is not sufficient, can result in accelerated forms of deterioration, such as to reduce the duration in use of the tyre.
Avoid contact with heaters and radiators.
Very low temperatures in the storage area are not in themselves damaging, but can provoke rigidity of the tyre. In this case, they must not be deformed during movement or fitting.
If they are destined to be used immediately they are released from storage, it is necessary to keep them for a few hours in an area with a temperature of approximately 20°C.
Oxygen, ozone and chemical substances
Criteria for storage
The best method for storage is vertically in rows of one tyre high, on racks, positioned at least 10 cm from ground level, with the sidewalls positioned vertically, so that the profile is not altered (fig.1).
The vicinity or stacking of other racking or pallets must not deform the profile of the tyres.
The number of tyres per row must be such as to not compromise the sidewalls.
Agricultural tyres with a width greater than 12.4" (315 mm), with the exception of those tubeless, must be stored in stacks.
The position of the tread lugs must be such that they correspond (one on top of the other, fig.2) in order to limit deformation to the sidewalls.
As a general indication a stack should not exceed 5 tyres.
Short term storage
Up to 4 weeks, tyres can be stored in stacks, one on top of the other, preferably on a fixed rack or on stackable pallets, reforming the stack inverting the order of the tyres on a weekly basis.
In all cases when tyres are stored in stacks, it is necessary to ensure that there is no partial misplacement from the vertical plane, in order to avoid any permanent deformation of the lower tyres in the stack.
The maximum height of the stack must not exceed 1.2m and the tyres in the stack must all be of the same dimension.
The following tyres cannot be stacked for storage:
• Motorbike and scooter
• Earthmoving
• Tubeless agricultural
• Tube type agricultural with width £ 12.4"
• Agricultural with x-ply nylon carcass
Inner tubes and valves
Whether inner tubes are supplied by the producer in single boxes, large boxes or wrapped in plastic film, it is always preferable to maintain the original packaging.
In alternative they can be stored also slightly inflated, inserted within the tyre, or piled deflated, up to a maximum height of 50 cm, on racking shelves with a closed base, accurately avoiding that the valve can damage the surface of the tube when squashed under the pressure of their own weight.
Ensure that the tubes do not overlap the edge of the plane on which they are stored to avoid accidental laceration.
It is not recommended to store on slatted pallets because the pressure applied to the tubes will not be uniform.
Do not hang inner tubes during storage. Valves should be stored in their packaging in a clean, well ventilated and dry location.
