Dearest friends, I bid thee well met! Once again, it is I, the Duke of DVD, stepping from the shadows to whisper dark mutterings in your ear. Imagine your surprise as the whisper is instead a shout, for today we once again must needs hide our loved ones in darkened cellars, we must chain our livestock to wooden beams drove deep into the bedrock and then carved with a myriad of glyphs, for today is the BIRTHDAY OF THE VICAR OF VHS!
Old gypsies fork their fingers at the air as their tongues turn black in their mouths. Lambs are born with two heads, or no head at all. Mother's milk curdles in sagging teats as infants' eyes bulge black, their cries muffled as their mothers smother them to spare them this torturous day. Goats fornicate with old men, who giggle blindly through fallow fields, the air smokey from corpse-fires. Wolves, driven mad by hunger and their own still-born youth, rove in huge packs, killing wantonly as druids cavort among them, awaiting their turn to have their throats torn out. Young maidens cast themselves off high cliffs, despondent over the fact that the Vicar rogered only one thousand and three of their number before passing out in a drunken heap. Truly this is a day for celebration and despair, in equal measure!
Some facts about the Vicar:
- The Vicar can produce volumous belches lasting over 2 full minutes from a single flagon of wine.
- The Vicar's favorite meal consists of 4 whole roasted oxen, braised in Argentinian honey, a heaped bowl of swan tongues, 47 marshmallow Peeps(tm), a 5 lbs. rasher of bacon, 10 trenchers of blood pudding, and a whole keg of Father Malamut's Roaring Cunt beer.
- The Vicar once braved the harshest conditions on earth in order to deflower a virgin atop Mt. Everest.
- The Vicar likes to dress in a fat suit and pose as a Jehovah's Witness from time to time, only he mumbles through his spiel drunkenly and steals people's ashtrays.
-The Vicar has an insanely large ashtray collection hidden somewhere in a large underground cavern beneath his estates.
Finally, I present to you a 14th century wood-cut of the Vicar. It is believed to be the earliest representation of the Vicar, who it is rumored had the artist drawn and quartered while his family watched.

Thanks everyone! And thanks to the Duke for his particular brand of effusiveness. I had an ok day, from what I can remember...

2nd millennium BC
Millennia: |
Centuries: |
The 2nd millennium BC spans the years 2000 through 1000 BC. It marks the transition from the Middle to the Late Bronze Age.
Its first half is dominated by the Middle Kingdom of Egypt and Babylonia. The alphabet develops. Indo-Iranian migration onto the Iranian plateau and onto the Indian subcontinent propagates the use of the chariot. Chariot warfare and population movements lead to violent changes at the center of the millennium, a new order emerges with Greek dominance of the Aegean and the rise of the Hittite Empire. The end of the millennium sees the transition to the Iron Age. World population begins to rise steadily, reaching some 50 million towards 1000 BC.

↓Iron Age |
Middle Bronze Age[edit]
Spending much of their energies in trying to recuperate from the chaotic situation that existed at the turn of the millennium, the most powerful civilizations of the time, Egypt and Mesopotamia, turned their attention to more modest goals. The Pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt and their contemporary Kings of Babylon, of Amorite origin, brought good governance without much tyranny, and favoured elegant art and architecture. Farther east, the Indus Valley civilization was in a period of decline, possibly as a result of intense, ruinous flooding.
Egypt and Babylonia's military tactics were still based on foot soldiers transporting their equipment on donkeys. Combined with a weak economy and difficulty in maintaining order, this was a fragile situation that crumbled under the pressure of external forces they could not oppose.
Unrest of the 16th century[edit]
About a century before the middle of the millennium, bands of Indo-European invaders came from the Central Asian plains and swept through Western Asia and Northeast Africa. They were riding fast two-wheeled chariots powered by horses, a system of weaponry developed earlier in the context of plains warfare. This tool of war was unknown among the classical civilizations. Egypt and Babylonia's foot soldiers were unable to defend against the invaders: in 1630 BC, the Hyksos swept into the Nile Delta, and in 1595 BC, the Hittites swept into Mesopotamia.
Late Bronze Age[edit]
The peoples in place were quick to adapt to the new tactics, and a new international situation resulted from the change. Though during most of the second half of the 2nd millennium BC several regional powers competed relentlessly for hegemony, many developments occurred: there was new emphasis on grandiose architecture, new clothing fashions, vivid diplomatic correspondence on clay tablets, renewed economic exchanges, and the New Kingdom of Egypt played the role of the main superpower. Among the great states of the time, only Babylon refrained from taking part in battles, mainly due to its new position as the world's religious and intellectual capital.
The Bronze Age civilization at its final period of time, displayed all its characteristic social traits: low level of urbanization, small cities centered on temples or royal palaces, strict separation of classes between an illiterate mass of peasants and craftsmen, and a powerful military elite, knowledge of writing and education reserved to a tiny minority of scribes, and pronounced aristocratic life.
Near the end of the 2nd millennium BC, new waves of barbarians, this time riding on horseback, wholly destroyed the Bronze Age world, and were to be followed by waves of social changes that marked the beginning of different times. Also contributing to the changes were the Sea Peoples, ship-faring raiders of the Mediterranean.

In the history of the Egyptian language, the early 2nd millennium saw a transition from Old Egyptian to Middle Egyptian. As the most used written form of the Ancient Egyptian language, it is frequently (incorrectly) referred to simply as "Hieroglyphics".
The earliest attested Indo-European language, the Hittite language, first appears in cuneiform in the 16th century BC (Anitta text), before disappearing from records in the 13th century BC. Hittite is the best known and the most studied language of the extinct Anatolian branch of Indo-European languages.
The first Northwest Semitic language, Ugaritic, is attested in the 14th century BC. The first fully phonemic script Proto-Canaanite developed from Egyptian hieroglyphs, becoming the Phoenician alphabet by 1200 BC. The Phoenician alphabet was spread throughout the mediterranean by Phoenician maritime traders and become one of the most widely used writing systems in the world, and the parent of virtually all alphabetic writing systems. The Phoenician language is also the first Canaanite language, the Northwest Semitic languages spoken by the ancient peoples of the Canaan region: the Israelites, Phoenicians, Amorites, Ammonites, Moabites and Edomites.
Mycenaean Greek, the most ancient attested form of the Greek language, was used on the Greek mainland, Crete and Cyprus in the Mycenaean period.

- The Canadian–American speculative fiction author S.M. Stirling has written a trilogy (the Nantucket series) set in Bronze Age era, circa the 1250s BC. The trilogy describes the conflict between the different factions of the population of the island of Nantucket after an unknown phenomenon ("The Event") transports them into the past—some trying to dominate the world for their own benefit, others trying to better it—and the different Bronze Age civilizations.

(as usual I came in late, and I took less notes)
The Delicate Balance
1. There must be balance between reformation and conformation. Truth and justice, faith and good deeds, tasdiq and tajdid. No tajdid without tasdiq.
2. When you fly in an airplane, you'd want a pilot whom you do not have to know who he is, but you can trust in him.
3. Ikhtiar - freedom (of religion) to choose what's right, but not wrong.
4. The advent of Islam brings a revolution in mankind. "laa ikraaha fid din".
5. Prophet's last sermon:
- no superiority of an Arab over non-Arab except by your moral credibility
-no racial discrimination
-we are born free with no sins
This is Islam's breakthrough.
6. We have to protect 5 values of an individual, regardless of who he is:
-an-nafs, life
-ad-din, religion
al-mal, property
7. We need to know how to earn a living and how to live.
8. When there is no water, a ship does not move, but when there is water inside the ship, it also does not move.
9. Suggests men should also have chaperons, their wives.
Habib Ali Al-Jifri
When The Prophet is Mocked
1. We need to cultivate beautiful patience in ourselves.
2. Be careful not to propagate offences (in expressing anger or refusal). Through people protesting, more people become aware of what you are protesting again, which could be a bad thing. eg. defamatory film is unknown until you decided to share it via media and the film garners more views.
3. We should not mix between demanding rights of the prophet with our own demand of rights. The way you stand up for the prophet might give him a bad name.
4. Be self-critical but not self-flagellating.
5. Other negative things like burning bibles, speaking falsely, killing, injustice is a greater offense than a film full of lies. Know which offences are greater and which ones are trivially provocative.
6. Prophet sent to perfect nobility of character. Defend him in a prophetic way. Do not speak of him in an emotional way using "my prophet", he is "the prophet". We should live the reality of the message that he carries to the world. Live as you are, not as how others want you to believe.
7. The believer isn't someone with a foul mouth and coarse tongue.
8. The prophet when faced with enemies even guarantees them with protection no holds barred.
9. Prove insulters they are liars by letting them see something else in you. It's your responsibility.
10. If you find yourself wanting to express anger, you have to struggle with yourself. The strong man is the one who can hold himself in the moment of anger. Turn anger into righteous anger by transforming yourself for the better.
Abdal Hakim Jackson
Imam Al-Qarafi and the Islamic Intellectual Tradition
(I came in a bit late. Yeah I got lazy on the last day and skipped a lot of lectures. There was one by Syakh Abdallah bin Bayyah which is about Sacred Law, but I didn't go in for that one and I'd wished that I had).
1. Differentiate between law and fact.
2. You derive laws from fuqahas, but the fuqahas may not know the facts. You know the law from the fuqaha, but to implement it in a realistic way, you need people who know the facts, the reality of the world the law is to be implemented to.
3. The limitation of fiqh is that there are things in life that will be regulated on the general principles of syariah, but there is no hokum on judging those things on judgment day.
4. Example, there is no such thing as an Islamic speed limit. These things are determined based on factual assessments based on the good of the community.
5. Difference between secular and secularism: secular - this worldly, secularism - there is nothing to consider but this world. Islam is okay with secular, but not secularism.
6. We tend to give syariah a false limit. We can engage in secular logic to determine certain regulations, eg safety.
7. When you don't understand fiqh, you make all issues fiqh.
8. What is the correct view of mazhabs based on customs of sahabahs ? When custom change, are they rendered defunct ? Do we have to make new rulings based on new customs ? Al-Qarafi: Holding on to rulings although customs change is an open display of ignorance religion and a violation of consensus. This is not legal relativism because things mentioned in the Quran that are haraam are still haraam, such as zina, but there are aspects of syariah that are based on customs. eg. in Al-Muwatta', if a man says triple divorce to his wife, it is considered divorce. Al-Qarafi: this is based on custom, not Quran or Sunnah.
Syed Hossein Nasr
Umran: Reviving the Spirit of Civilization
1. The word civilization is often perceived as singular as an attempt to Westernize the muslim mind as the singular civilization or the word civilized is often associated to the Western culture. It instills the idea of progress that there is only one civilization - Western.
2. Islam is the first civilization to produce thought on civilization, by Ibn Khaldun.
3. No civilization is not rooted in religion. A civilization is created in the presiding idea that it is divine. However the Western civilization now imposes the divorce of religion from civilization. The spirit of civilization comes from the spirit of the religion that created it. The source of this spirit is the Quranic revelation.
4. Tauhid means oneness and integration, and the Islamic civilization is the manifestation of this concept through many aspects, music, art, architecture, calligraphy, textiles, patterns, etc.Multiplicity leads to unity. Why does it manifest this way, because it is the raison d'etre to assert life of laillahaillallah.
5. We come from one and return to one, we cannot escape from this inherent oneness.
6. When we revive the spirit of tauhid within us, we can revive the spirit of civilization.
7. Spirituality consists of faith and intellectual. Faith is immersing oneself in the reality of God, and intellect is applying revealed principles.
Zaid Shakir
(this was the last talk I heard, I didn't stay around for the finale. I went out to have halal beef burger with some friends :p)
1. Islam is confident in itself. It never perceived itself as inferior, and it does not falsely perceive superiority by belittling other civilizations. Muslims were confident.
2. Huntington mentioned in Clash of Civilizations, the threat to civilization is the Sino-Islamic threat. At apex of Islamic civilization, they were in partnership with the Yuan Dynasty.
3. Islam assimilated the best of civilizations to produce distinctive characteristics of Islam, in which at its heart is the concept of tauhid.
4. Physical world is not separated from the metaphysical world. zaalika kitabu la raiba fiih. Those who believe in the unseen and make efforts to understand the unseen is the heart of our civilization and our faith.
5. It is mentioned who are th mu'minun, the first mentioned is the believe in the unseen. The physical and unseen are both emanations from Allah. No separation between the sacred and the mundane because both come from Allah. Ethics is not separated from science. Allah has ordained excellence and beautification.
6. Ibn Battutta was recognized as a scholar anywhere he went. At that time, Islamic civilization was one common unbroken realm, defined by common institutions, common methodology and common worldviews.
7. We need to revive epistemology, methodology and curriculum to cultivate unity.
8. For that we need certain foundations:
- we need to recognize the pervasive hegemonic, material and physical manifestation of Western civilization.
nowadays, even the things that we can't see has physical reality, eg radioactivity
-and that force is a powerful one. why?
Another name for dunya is 'aajilah which means quick and accessible. Which means that it is very quick and accessible to physical manifestations. The akhirah's other name is aajilah which is something that you can't see right now, in contrast to the dunya.
9. If we don't realize the value of reviving epistemology, methodology, etc, there is no motivation. We have to realize the importance of Islamic civilization foundation and manifestation.
10. We have to appreciate the humanities such as theology, philosophy, logic, otherwise there is no means to revive.
11. We have to understand that the fate of the community is rooted in that revival.
So this concludes our RIS note-taking saga. Just to note: they do mention some Quran verses, but I didn't actually search for them before posting this, but it is searchable, and I highly recommend to myself and you (whoever who reads it, if there are actually anybody who reads this) to do so. Some of my romanized Arabic terms might not be accurate, I apologize for that, I have left the academic study of the Arabic language for years now. There are some terms that I wrote it as it is, so for those who don't understand you can look it up, and I stand corrected if I ever I used the term wrong. The reason why I put up these notes is for preservation sake, I tend to lose them, and I feel that it is nice to have an open discussion. Sharing things, thinking about it, checking it, assessing it, debating about it, and talking about it is constructive behavior, I believe and a positive intellectual culture. I really appreciate it if people could give feedback, and I know my memory's patchy here and there, I might not remember everything as accurately, so it's always good to check.
Secondly, another thing that I'd like to note is the perception of this conference itself, and generally my personal observation of what people perceive when going into this conference, and because it is merely my opinion doesn't necessarily make it true. So, honestly, I went to this convention in first year, basically just for the fun of it, to hang out with friends and they have a bazaar with lots of abayas, halal food and books. I guess it's also for the experience and the fact that I didn't go anywhere out of Toronto. I pretty much enjoyed it, I loved sitting next to a friend of mine whom I could happily discuss what we got out of the talks with. Fangirling over Tariq Ramadan, lol. (Although I feel a bit guilty fangirling over him, because I know that's probably not what he intended the people who hears his talk would behave. He doesn't want you to clap while he's talking because clapping is emotive. He wants people to be thinkers, and listen to what he actually says instead of reactively emotive). I didn't write down notes last year and I don't really remember, so it's really hard to compare in an academic sense of how it was back then and now. This year I went in, also because a friend of mine is going, but this time around I was determined to write notes so that I can actually look back to it and get something from it. The whole term has been stressful for me, and although I was reluctant to go because I already went last year, I still went on ahead, it wouldn't hurt to hear people talk about religion once in a while. So, I went in, treating it more as an informative session, i.e. I might learn something. Well, I have to admit some of the talks were pretty light, in fact, I think a lot lighter than last year's because last year they were speaking about governance, and of course with Hamza Yusuf's you're bound to get all the facts thrown at you, which I particularly enjoyed and regretted not taking notes back then. This year it was a lot more focused on self-change. It was a bit short of what I bargained for, but I kind of told myself, well, I had a hard year, it's good to have something light, but at least also in some way informative, I'd have to say I wish they put in more facts and go in depth, but then again, maybe if I'd really wanted to go in-depth, I'd read the speakers' books or something, which was why I bought Syed Hossein Nasr's book this year. Then, I'd reconsidered hmm, perhaps this conference is to pique interest or at least it has to be light and easy as a baby-step intro to compassionate, community-oriented Islam to people who are new to this, or it could be just some meet muslims all around the world kind of event, but I'm pretty glad that something like this was being organized, otherwise I wouldn't have known Habib Ali, Abdal Hakim Jackson and all these scholars. Someone actually made me think what the motivation for this conference was, well I could easily have checked the website and got my answer there, but I'm sure that if I'd ask different people, they'd have different motivations for going for that. Well, I alone had many different motivations which changed during a short course of time from friend -> shopping benefits -> info -> intro -> and who knows. Some people go in with the "usrah" mindset, so they prefer talks about self-help-oriented and dislike "heavy-weighted" talks that hint of secular issues like politics (although, honestly even the political-themed talks this year was very light and doesn't really touch on the actual political issues, but it was just a preaching to get your priorities right when approaching these issues). And I'm not suggesting all usrah-minded people are like that, and yes, you may have your preferences, I have no qualms with that, but my point is, I'm actually glad RIS has a range of issues. Such that it is not only centred on the self (although this year it is a lot more so than last year) and avoids becoming just another "usrah" party. There's stuff like philosophy, history, politics. I'd hated those three things, but I can appreciate their importance, and when I give it a go, they are actually interesting, and I do feel that, RIS is trying to promote a muslim intellectual culture, while also offering, okay, in words of a certain individual "invoke" religious motivation in a person. I feel that one way to promote intellectual culture is to have a well-rounded or diverse interest in different fields, even if you can't find yourself to like all fields, at least give it a go, or know what's going on, and I do believe interest can be cultivated, especially when most of the talks do mention that we need muslims who specialize in these different fields. I do have to admit I was a bit disappointed with Karen Armstrong's talk because I felt that she could have delivered more of her expertise had she talked on a different topic, like I mentioned, akin to her book that I half-read, but it also kind of disappoints me when people say things like "I don't like her talk because I can't "feel" it when she talks about Islam because she's not muslim." Not exact words, but sort of implies that way. I guess some people just like learning about religion in the usrah surrounding, but I love learning religion in the academic surrounding, which I feel, personally, is more fair and intellectual than in an usrah. I don't want to go on criticizing usrahs, and I have to admit I am biased against usrah, which I will explain if I have to, or if I am compelled to in another post, but I will leave it at that. So yeah, for this lengthy paragraph, my point is, people go in with different intentions and take home different messages and cultivate different perspectives. What I put up in my blog posts is what I got from my perspective, (although I do feel my notes feel a bit usrah-y, but can't be helped, I am certain it's more usrah-y this year than last year) so other people might actually write different things or write the same things in a different way. I try my best to stay true to what the speakers say, but you know, I might've left out some things and heard it differently.
So, as commentary on day three's speeches. Okay. I have to admit I skimped on this the most, but here's what I think so far.
Mufti Mustafa Ceric's speech was of course as entertaining as his first, and it's pretty good about the way he talks about social justice. It's easy to follow. The funny thing right at the end was his commentary on women having to have chaperons everywhere they go for "protection", and he mentions that Khadijah, a woman, was the first muslim, so in all fairness, he suggests that men should have chaperons too, their wives, for "protection", but of course a different kind of protection, if you know what I mean.
I did go to Yasmin Mogahed's halfway, people are crazy about her, but to me she's a poet. Her talk is mostly about consoling hearts who feel low in their lives, who need a motivational boost, so I wasn't too crazy about her as other people are, but I have to say I respect her as a wordsmith. Her book was also on sale and was sold out, I took a look at it, but it was basically a compilation of her blog posts, I think, on the surface, and I figured being the stalker that I am, I think I've read most of what she posted on her blog.
Habib Ali's just hit home. Every time I see someone get worked up on FB, that includes me, I should be reminded of that. FB just makes it easier to sensationalize trivial issues and you'd go all out and become keyboard warriors for Islam. It's a good reminder.
Abdal Hakim Jackson's was the most interesting of the day, it kinda made me want to read this Imam Al-Qarafi's books despite not really being interested in the field of jurisdiction and legislation. And his statement of the secular versus secularism, I kind of already know inside what the difference was, and I needed that reaffirmation, and I guess I just needed someone to talk about it. At the mention of secularism in Malaysia people stare daggers at you.
Syed Hossein and Zaid Shakir spoke on the same thing about civilization. I've heard the term Islamic Civilization gazillion times, from youtube videos, from Sejarah textbooks, from Islamic Studies during my Taylor's time but usually I just brush it off, but when I heard it again, it was kind of interesting of how they mention that the civilization is a manifestation of tauhid. It makes me imagine a show on discovery channel talking about how the patterns symbolize a certain theological meaning. I don't know if there really is such a show as of now, but it'd be really cool if there such a discussion of the topic.
So you see, it's not so much that I'm not aware of the intellectual role that we have to play as youths that is constantly being reminded of during all the talks, which sometimes I feel is a waste of time in which they could actually fit in more facts, but then again, it is the REVIVAL of Islamic SPIRIT, so I guess, suited to their audience, they kinda have to do that, and if I'd wanted the in-depth facts, I should go to the books. But my point is, I'm more interested in knowing the facts that they throw about and I guess that is my way of responding to said call for youths to play an intellectual role. I like to know things, and it makes me feel that I'm putting myself to use when I know things, even in a trivia sort of way.
So, yeah. I guess that's all for the RIS saga 2012. I should probably go somewhere else next winter. It's not that I'm deterring you from going for it, I highly recommend it though for the experience, but be prepared to face the deluge of people, and be warned that if you're looking for facts, like me, you're better off reading the books, but if you just want to do something for the holidays, or you want to go for something that makes you think, RIS is a good start, plus, go for the bazaar as well, lots of books, clothes and food food food. Oh glorious food. Okay, till then.

- Horse Health
- - Miniature Horse Laminitis
Miniature Horse Laminitis Hello Everyone! I have a question and would really appreciate as much help as I can get. About 2 days ago, I found my miniature horse laying down on the ground. This is uncharacteristic of him, as he is usually the first one to come running up to me for attention! Because he is never down, the first thought that ran through my head was COLIC. So my instinct was to get him standing up, and walking around. As soon as I got him up, we went to take the first steps and he immediately favored his right front hoof. So I checked him over for any stones or abcesses, and found nothing. I felt down his leg and hoof, and there was no obvious heat. This mini is very special to my heart, as I have had hopes to use him with my future children. He is only 6 years old, and it saddens me that this has happened to him at such a young age. I am very motivated to bring him back to full soundness, as I also compete with him in cart classes. So we called the farrier out to have him take a look at our mini, and he assumes that he went lame or foundered. He went on to explain to us that supposedly there is a link between laminitis and magnesium deficiencies; so he instructed us to not only soak his hoof in warm water and epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), but to feed him small amounts of the salt to restore the magnesium. So after much research, I decided that it was worth a shot. Although its only been a couple of days, I can already see a noticeable difference. He is still favoring that hoof... but he is progressively becoming more independent in terms of mobility. In order to keep him comfortable, I have given him minimal doses of phenylbutazone, restricted his grazing times, rub therapeutic warming-cooling gel on his fetlock joint, and have used padded hoof boots. My problem is that I will be leaving to attend college out of state in a week. My parents are completely comfortable in doing horse related tasks like tossing them some hay, grooming, and other basic horse care tasks. Our horses are very low maintenance, but with this new development with our mini, he is going to need some extra care. My question is: what are some things that we can do to keep our miniature horse COMFORTABLE while he is on the mend, keeping in mind that my parents are going to be the one's dealing with his care? I know for sure that they will not be able to do all of the things that I am doing right now. Any advice from people who have dealt with lame horses before would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |

Of the above, it may be the bute alone that is making the difference. But I would only personally be doing it in the very short term, in case of an actual lami 'attack'. If his pain/problem was only a 'one off' initial episode, then you should find he's probably fine now. If the laminitis has been ongoing for some time & his pain is due to progressive changes - 'rotation', etc. then there is more to be considered, such as trimming specifics & frequency. It may also(if lami or otherwise) be due to a stone bruise/solar abscess or such. Quote:
I would first & foremost line up a good farrier/hoofcare person(not assuming your current guy is not good, just not assuming he is either). He may benefit from 4-weekly or more frequent trims if there are imbalances to be corrected. I would also line up a good vet who is also experienced at successful treatment of lameness(unfortunately you can't just assume all 'experts' are as good on this as eachother) and while I wouldn't *necessarily* rush to call them out immediately, I'd get them if he's still sore after a week and I'd also consider getting xrays done if the vet isn't sure it's something unrelated. |

esse - to beThis is an irregular verb, both in English and in Latin, as it does not follow the usual patterns of conjugation.
esse does not have an object. Words associated with it are in the nominative case. Don't try to put them into the accusative.
In this example, Maria and Isabella are nominative singular, as there is one of each woman. regine is nominative plural as there are two queens.

Great Scott downs Leeds
Scott Arfield's second-half winner ensured Burnley's unbeaten home record remained intact as they saw off Leeds 2-1 at Turf Moor.
Ross McCormack put Leeds in front in the first half as the visitors looked to end their winless run, having arrived in Burnley without a victory in their last five games.
However Leeds had conceded nine goals in their last two games and could not hold on to the lead as a Jason Pearce own goal meant the teams went into half-time level.
And Arfield fired home a winner on 67 minutes to stretch Burnley's unbeaten league run to 14 games, with the Clarets still have not tasted defeat in front of their own fans in this Championship campaign.
After an even opening, Ross Wallace had the first chance of the match, cutting inside from the right before flashing his shot wide after five minutes.
The Clarets came close moments later when Dean Marney's trickery won a free-kick on the edge of the box - David Jones' subsequent effort curling narrowly over the bar.
Shortly after Leeds had a chance to open the scoring when McCormack sent through Matt Smith, whose effort was saved low by Tom Heaton.
A mistake from Jones then allowed McCormack clean through and the striker dinked over the on-rushing Heaton but saw his shot hit the post before Jason Shackell bravely blocked the rebound.
But on 27 minutes the visitors did take the lead as Smith superbly flicked on a Connor Wickham throw in to McCormack who powerfully headed past a helpless Heaton.
But Burnley responded on 38 minutes when Kieran Trippier found space on the right and delivered a cross that Pearce diverted past Jack Butland and into his own net.
Both sides began the second half with the same intensity that they finished the first with but it was Leeds who began to take a foothold in the match.
Their first real chance came when McCormack drilled in a cross from the right towards Alex Mowatt who miscued his shot before Smith fired over.
However, Burnley responded on 68 minutes when Ben Mee crossed from the left to Arfield. His first shot was blocked but the ball came back to him and he drilled home into the bottom corner.
The visitors still persisted and began to camp in the Burnley half as the game entered the closing stages.
And on 77 minutes Luke Murphy delivered a teasing corner but Smith and Pearce both failed to make clear contact from yards out.
In the last 10 minutes Burnley had a chance to make it 3-1 when Junior Stanislas crossed to Ashley Barnes but he could only head wide.
But it did not matter as the Clarets saw the game out to extend their unbeaten home run and compound Leeds' recent misery.

Excellent control over the elemental composition of ionically bonded semiconductor nanocrystals (for example, II-VI nanocrystals) has been well demonstrated, mainly owing to the relatively easy synthesis of freestanding nanocrystals by wet-chemistry approaches. In contrast, work on controlling the composition of covalently bonded group-IV nanocrystals is limited because freestanding nanocrystals cannot be produced efficiently in the liquid phase. However, group-IV nanocrystals are of particular interest due to the lack of toxicity, the abundance and the low cost of the materials.
Recently, Pi and Kortshagen, researchers at the University of Minnesota, have demonstrated the synthesis of boron- or phosphorus-doped freestanding silicon nanocrystals with non-thermal plasmas. Now they have extended this approach by demonstrating the capability of non-thermal plasmas to produce alloy group IV (Si1–xGex) nanocrystals. One of the challenges is the actual production of an alloy. The materials should be neither a mixture of two types of nanocrystals nor in a core-shell structure. Pi and Kortshagen used an oxidation-etching step combined with element analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy to demonstrate that the nanocrystals have an alloy structure.
The scientists have shown that the composition of Si1–xGex nanocrystals can be seamlessly adjusted between pure silicon and pure germanium nanocrystals. Their development may extend the applicability of group-IV nanocrystals in thermoelectrics, microelectronics, optoelectronics and photovoltaics.
The researchers presented their work in Nanotechnology.

The effects of the super storm Sandy, which hit the East Coast late last month, left tens of thousands of people out of work. As the United States Department of Labor jobless report shows, the initial claims for state unemployment benefits are at their highest level in 1 1/2-years.
The number of people filing new claims for jobless benefits rose 78,000 to a seasonally adjusted 439,000 for the week of November 10, missing Reuters' forecast of 375,000. Both Connecticut and New Jersey reported that the initial claims increase was due to Hurricane Sandy. Although the storm affected New York as well, the state said that claims decreased because "state systems were unable to take claims from claimants."
Catalysts are critical to discovering winning stocks. Check out our newest CHEAT SHEET stock picks now.
Continuing claims for jobless benefits also rose. For the week ended November 3, the Labor Department said that claims increased by 17,750 to a seasonally adjusted 3.255 million, the highest level since July 2008.
Economist say that the effects of the storm could lower the United States' growth rate in the fourth quarter by 0.2 percent, The Wall Street Journal reported last week. However, the losses are expected to be made up early next year as the area damaged by the storm is rebuilt.
With the election over, the most pressing problem facing President Obama and lawmakers in Washington is the year-end deadline for tax cuts and government spending that will require key decisions on jobs, the deficit, and taxes. Speaking from the East Room of the White House on Wednesday, President Obama said that the nation's "top priority has to be jobs and growth."

Guys guys guys, my dad canceled tv cause directtv was nickel and diming us for HD, now I won't have tv 'til tomorrow and if I miss lost I will kill someone, are there any sites that stream it pacific time?
I liked that episode, but it didn't top Ab Aeterno.
I thought it was fairly obvious they were still speaking Latin, but were "speaking" English so that we wouldn't be reading subtitles the entire time.
Also, pretty revealing episode. I think this is the closest we'll ever get to finding out what the island really "is." Does anyone else think that, perhaps, that lady was another Smoke Monster?
first half was just filler
I really don't like how they showed what happened, but didn't explain any of it.
I honestly don't understand how any of you can say that episode was worth watching at all, let alone good. The whole "this light is in everyone and you must protect it" seemed like it would fit in better in a Disney movie than in a TV show like Lost.
So, I'm not sure but is MiB the smoke monster or did his dead body only set it free?
because that makes things interesting
Pretty sure he's the smoke monster since their adopted mom said that YOU would be worse than dead, not release something worse than you dying.
well being dead and causing the ultimate evil to be unleashed upon the world is worse than just dying imo
I think Jacob's brother is dead. And the actual smoke monster is taking his form. Cause wasn't said that the smoke monster could only take the place of a dead person?
That fucking sucked, holy shit.
How the hell did they manage to screw up a Jacob/MIB episode? HOW?
It was so pointless and answered fuck all.(adam and eve answer felt incredibly forced and the smoke monster origin was half-answered.)
I believe that the smoke monster is all the hate and sorrow from Jacobs brother. Maybe even his soul but on destroy everyone mode.
Also I agree this episode wasn't the best, the could have done better after watching the Richard episode. The end was still interesting though when John Locke walked in on Jack and Kate, the quote he said was epic.
Wait, what's that about Locke walking in on Jack & Kate?
I didn't see that, what the fuck?
Nah, now that I actually think about it I'm wrong.
Lost has been drilling into our heads that Smokey wants to leave the island and go home. Which is exactly what we learn that MiB wants.
I also remembered that Smokey tells Kate that his mother was crazy
I think that MiB's consciousness or spirit was just separated from his body and that's what the smoke monster is.
God this show is dumb
It's from season one don't worry about it.
So basically the island runs on a magical light that causes electromagnetism, teleportation, time travel, and people to turn into murderous smoke creatures that can turn into dead people?
Very sci-fi.
Also I don't freaking understand how Jacob's mom managed to drag MiB's body out of the well, fill the entire well with dirt, and then kill and burn an entire village to the ground.
Very fantasy and a total cop out is more like it.
The island took the form of Jacobs brothers body.
Light is a symbol is many many many forms of literature. Not just Disney crap.
Also, think about the relation between the MIB and Jacob with Cain and Abel. Very similar is some ways.
How the hell did the town get completely fucked?
And yeah that episode blew. The only part that made me sorta tingly was when they started flashing back and forth between jacob laying his mother and brother to rest/jack and kate discovering the bodies.
It started off pretty slow, but it began to pick up towards the end. Hell, I liked the episode, but I understand why some of you guys didn't like it. The whole Light thing was kinda like they just crapped it out but it does explain a lot of things from all the other seasons. Oh ya, did anyone feel the parts with punching and head smashing seem more fake than usual? I don't know, usually the scenes like that seem more real and intense.
I think the episode would have been more satisfying if it were longer. That way there would have been more time for things to develop and more things could have been explained.
Could you possibly make that into avatar form? (70x70 preferably and under 60kb)
They had enough time to answer more questions then they did - that's just how frustrating the writers can be. They could have easily stuffed in more juicy stuff but noooo..gotta leave us asking questions up until the final episode. =(
I liked that episode. I like Jacob he's one of my favourite characters so I'm glad he got a full episode.
I agree with a previous poster, they revealed stuff but didn't accually explain any of it.
seriously, at the stage of the final season should they still be fucking us around like that?
Plus the way the woman describes the light it seems like a cop out. I mean, the way over the past seasons they've built up the island and it's powers, I suspected something better.
I generally feel disapointed and am quite worried that the basic story has been explained to us and we will never know fully.
So Jacob's brother is Justin Bieber. No wonder he's the way he is.
Richard will replace Jacob because he drank the wine and he and Jacob became one.
They said from the beginning that not all questions will be answered. Lots of people will probably be pissed off at what is left unanswered(previous posts already shows this due to the newest episode).
Yeah, I'm a little dissatisfied with this episode, but not because they didn't explain it. But it's actually because I think that Jacob's character is severely inconsistent. Look at him before he died, look at him in Richard's episode and look at him in this episode. He's so god damn different each time. And what the light was going to do was predictable right after it was said what would happen to a person if they went into it.
Otherwise I think it allowed us to piece more together.
I doubt it. Richard should finally be able to die soon after doing whatever he is supposed to do.
Jack will be Jacob because he wants to stay, Sawyer will be MiB because he wants to leave, and Hurley will likely take place of Richard, if there's even a need for that.
Their mom was evil personified. She coldbloodedly murdered a helpless woman who had just given birth, because of what she MIGHT do with her own children.
I think, therefore, the mom was smoke monster #1 and that's how she wasted the village and trashed the well. She is 'killed' which is really a reset, hence the 'thanks'. When Jacob predictably tosses MiB into the fire, she is reborn in him.
The writing seemed very sloppy. What's dead? Then right after they are hunting pigs...uh dead is what happens when you stick the pig. WTF?
And I assume MiB is getting some in the village. You'd think he'd tell his brother "Dude, if you join us at least you can bang a chick besides mom all the time."
Speaking of which, anyone else notice MiB penetrated his mom from the rear and she THANKED him for it?!?!
Dude I used to think that before tonight but now I don't know...it's really hard to guess where this show is going now. And did anything happen to the light after Brother went inside?
A very predictable and unsatisfying episode I gotta say, a poor follow-up from last week's episode.
The explanation of the light seriously made me cringe. Hoping next week will pick things back up again.
Hello again, just finished season 5 :3:
Well start thinking out of the box. What if Jacobs/MiBs "fake mom" had also previously walked into the glowing light thing, and was also a smokey? think about how she died... that dagger, and MiB did it without her saying a word which is exactly how your suppose to kill smokey.
lol Jacob almost talked like Benjamin Linus for a second.
Haha, exactly my thoughts when I saw him.
Well, don't take me wrong it was okay episode, but when I heard it was going to be Jacob centric I was expecting one of the best episodes of the show. This one made even more questions and put elements in the story that just seem unnecessary. It's just my opinion though.
So if I got it right... Man in black isn't Jacob's brother, just took his appearance like he did throughout the show. And he can't hurt/kill him because the brothers had this bond and it could transfer onto smokey.
Also my main problem is that Jacob knew jack... I hoped he would show some of his future knowledge.
I also think that woman was the smoke monster, but it was too late for her when the now MIB killed her before she spoke. Okay, confusing episode, I can't dwell it on alot. It was good and bad(more questions), I give it 9.
I think that this is how it goes:
Jacob drank that "wine" and became the one to protect the light. That's why he didn't get old, JUST like his mother. His mother is the same for 30 years, don't you think. And when MiB kills her, she says:"Thank you" Probably because she was there on that island for a LOOOOOOONG time. And she couldn't kill herself.
Now Jacob replaced her, so he also doesn't get old. MiB is a smoke monster and that's why he can't get old, because he's controlling MiB's body. That's why they are the same for centuries.
But Richard also drank that wine and he also didn't get old for a long time. So I guess he replaced him, when Jacob died. Richard doesn't really have a "thing" to do, except to protect that light, which he doesn't even know about it.
Holy shit, I think I'm actually right about this. Anyone agrees?

Abstract | Androgen ablation is the primary treatment modality for patients with metastatic prostate cancer; however, the role of androgen receptor signaling in prostate cancer development remains enigmatic. Using a series of genetically defined immortalized and tumorigenic human prostate epithelial cells, we found that introduction of the androgen receptor induced differentiation of transformed prostate epithelial cells to a luminal phenotype reminiscent of organ-confined prostate cancer when placed in the prostate microenvironment. Moreover, androgen receptor expression converted previously androgen-independent, tumorigenic prostate epithelial cells into cells dependent on testosterone for tumor formation. These observations indicate that androgen receptor expression is oncogenic and addictive for the human prostate epithelium. |

To understand what's wrong with California's initiative process, all you need to do is look at Proposition 16 on the June 8 ballot. This outrageous measure is funded by more than $25 million from PG&E, and its sole purpose is to protect PG&E profits.
Voters must say no. If they do, it will show what's right with the initiative process - and it could discourage other corporations from spending millions on transparently self-serving initiatives that in no way serve the public interest.
Proposition 16 is a constitutional amendment that would require local governments to win the approval of two-thirds of voters before providing electricity to residents through a local utility or instituting a "community choice" program. PG&E calls it the Taxpayers Right to Vote Act, arguing that, though many cities do hold elections to decide whether to get into the power business, citizens should be constitutionally guaranteed a say.
In reality, PG&E's initiative would quash any such proposal. Requiring a two-thirds majority would discourage public officials from even attempting this kind of vote, especially in the face of a massive PG&E spending blitz.
This isn't just conjecture. In Sacramento in 2006 and San Francisco in 2008, PG&E's deep pockets enabled it to defeat simple-majority ballot measures that would have allowed or expanded municipal utilities. Government officials now know they'd have no chance against PG&E if the threshold were raised to two-thirds, allowing a small minority to block the change.
PG&E is capitalizing on mistrust of government and trying to convince voters that up is down. The company's CEO, Peter Darbee, essentially admitted as much in a March 1 meeting with shareholders.
Asked why the company was sponsoring the initiative, Darbee referred to the 2006 battle in which it spent more than $11 million to prevent Davis, Woodland and West Sacramento from defecting to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District.
"So it was really a decision about could we greatly diminish this kind of activity for all going forward rather than spending $10 (million) to $15 million a year of your money to invest in this," Darbee told the shareholders. "The answer was yes."
If that wasn't proof of the cynical intent of Proposition 16, look at the state finance reports: Not a single organization or person other than PG&E has contributed a penny to the campaign. PG&E has said it will spend as much as $35 million to pass the measure. The organized opposition, lacking a wealthy backer, has raised about $20,000.
If Darbee is looking for a cheaper way to hold onto his customers, here's a suggestion: Instead of spending tens of millions of ratepayer dollars on political campaigns, PG&E could use that money to lower rates and find more sources of renewable energy - the main reasons cities consider breaking away in the first place.
But don't hold your breath. And don't miss the opportunity to send PG&E an unequivocal message by ignoring the barrage of misleading advertising and voting no on Proposition 16. The constitution of the state of California should not be for sale.

How was your experience?
The show was amazing. Sandy Brown had us glued to our seats. We could not wait to see who she was going to be next! It was entertaining as well as educational. She reminded me of things in history I had forgotten and some I never knew! My 15 year old daughter enjoyed it and was going to let her Drama teacher know about the Play so that maybe they could put a field trip together.

ThedaCare Orthopedic Care-Appleton 820 E Grant Street Appleton, Wisconsin 54911
Orthopedic Surgery
I first chose to specialize in foot and ankle issues after treating babies with complex clubfoot deformities. Over time, I realized that many other conditions were going untreated in this specialty simply because of a lack in available resources and trained providers. I wanted this to change and have been working to do so ever since.
Ankle Injuries, Foot Fractures, Foot Problems
Plantar fasciitis is often caused by a tight Achilles tendon that then alters your foot mechanics and puts stress on the origin of the plantar fascia, which is on the bottom of the foot and originates from the bottom of the heel bone. This leads to inflammation, microtears, degeneration and commonly pain.

Jonathan Mostow's movie adaptation of the graphic novel Surrogates has just released some violent robot footage, complete with hot Bruce Willis wig action.AdvertisementIn the Surrogates future, we all get to sit on La-Z-Boys while our robot servants, who look just like us except cuter, run our errands, work our jobs and even go to raves (which are apparently trendy again). Willis plays a detective, who's investigating a rash of robotic Avatar murders, and he'll appear both as himself and (wearing a wig) as his Avatar. Who is behind these murders? And can citizens survive outside on their own, if they even want to?So what do you think? Is it a little too shiny? The comic appears to be a wee bit darker. Is anyone else getting a Fifth Element feel from this first glimpse of Mostow's movie?

I hear a lot about the two-speed economy. It sounds like a nice simple concept, but when you think about it, apart from my seven year old, I don't know many things that only operate at only two speeds. The two-speed economy concept is usually in reference to the mining and non-mining sectors, or states and territories that are reliant on mining or otherwise. But for Australia's small and medium businesses, the story is not so simple…
When we look at the confidence of small and medium businesses, we don't see a two-speed scenario, rather we see confidence levels varying significantly, right across a large spectrum. In the September 2012 Sensis® Business Index, we found SME confidence varying from a net balance of negative 14% for the transport and storage sector, to positive 52% in the health and community services sector, a huge difference.
So what are the underlying factors for these sectors? If you look at the longer term trends for SME confidence in each of these sectors you can see quite different factors behind confidence. For the health and community services sector, SME confidence has remained strong over the longer period, in fact throughout the whole GFC period to the present day confidence has been above the national average. Whilst there was still some impact from the GFC, confidence has remained strong in the sector, because economic factors do not play a large role in people's decision to use health services.
Which is exactly what SMEs in the health and community services sector told us in our latest survey – the main factor for strong confidence this quarter was providing a necessary product or service.
By contrast, SME confidence in the transport and storage sector has been more volatile. In our latest survey, transport and storage SMEs were most concerned about the general economic environment, that they were seeing businesses closing, that they were having trouble with bad debts and that many businesses were cutting back on expenses.
But back to the point about the two-speed economy, which, as you can see, operates at a whole range of speeds. Even within those sectors, businesses are performing at many different levels. For example, in the transport and storage sector, where confidence was weakest last quarter, nineteen per cent of SMEs reported that they actually increased their sales compared to the previous quarter! Obviously they missed the message on the two-speed economy…
Because for SMEs, the spectrum shows there isn't one. It is important to think of your business in terms of the individual factors affecting it, and how you can best aim for growth, regardless of which sector you are in.

Cadet Edgar Allan Poe
The young poet became a legendary plebe in the few painful months he spent at West Point
June 1976 | Volume 27, Issue 4
His guardian's remarriage was a sudden and more serious disappointment. Though Poe probably could not know that the new wife had borne Allan's illegitimate twins in July, he was convinced she was a fortune hunter; he knew well enough that her presence dealt a severe blow to his hopes for an inheritance. Moreover, he was arguing with Allan again about money. It was customary for cadets to receive allowances from home to supplement their meager twenty-eightdollar-a-month cadet pay, but despite all entreaty Allan would send nothing and Poe was impoverished. He owed money to classmates, and probably to Benny Havens.
Despite all this, Poe, still flushed with the ease of his academic success and hoping to regain Allan's favor, wrote to his guardian on the sixth of November: "I have a very excellent Standing in my class—in the first section in everything and have great hopes of doing well. … I am very much pleased with Colonel Thayer, and indeed with everything at the institution …"
Suddenly the storm hit. When Poe left the First Artillery in 1829, he had left owing money to "Bully" Graves, whether the re-enlistment money or perhaps a gambling debt. In his correspondence to Bully, Poe speaks of his debts to him and to a Sergeant Griffith at the same time, promising to pay as soon as possible. Shortly before leaving for the academy, having successfully kept his army creditors at bay for more than a year, Poe wrote Graves one more letter, describing his destitute state and promising to give them the money as soon as he could get it from his guardian, which he was having great difficulty doing. He used an unfortunate excuse: "Mr. A is not very often sober—."
Now, in November, having heard nothing from Poe since he entered the academy, Bully finally lost his patience and sent the letter to Poe's guardian. Allan was hurt, for he still had some respect for Poe, but his overwhelming reaction was cold, persistent outrage. As Mrs. Allan later remarked, with a touch of vehemence, he "sent him the money and banished Poe from his affections." In December Allan sent a letter to Poe cursing him and formally breaking all ties, ordering "no further communication."
Poe's reply, on January 3, 1831, clearly touches the spirit of all the difficulties between the two men, and the confused, anguished state of the young romantic:
I suppose, (altho' you desire no further communication with yourself, on my part,) that your restriction does not extend to my answering your final letter …
Did I, when an infant, sollicit your charity and protection, or was it of your own free will, that you volunteered your services in my behalf? [He speaks of his poverty at the University of Virginia and Allan's condemnation.] … I call God to witness that I have never loved dissipation—Those who know me know that my pursuits and habits are very far from anything of the kind. But I was drawn into it by my companions.
You sent me to W. Point like a beggar. The same difficulties are threatening me as before at Charlottesville—and I must resign. '
As regards Sergt. Graves—I did write him that letter. As to the truth of its contents, I leave it to God, and your own conscience.—The time in which I wrote it was within a half hour after you had embittered every feeling of my heart against you by your abuse of my family [Allan had on several occasions made references to the illegitimacy of Poe's sister] and myself, under your own roof—and at a time when you knew that my heart was almost breaking.
I have no more to say—except that my future life (which thank God will not endure long) must be passed in indigence and sickness. I have no energy left, nor health. If it was possible, to put up with the fatigues of this place, and the inconveniences which my absolute want of necessaries subject me to, and as I mentioned before it is my intention to resign. For this end it will be necessary that you (as my nominal guardian) enclose me your written permission. It will be useless to refuse me this last request—for I can leave the place without any permission—your refusal would only deprive me of the little pay which is now due as mileage.
From the time of writing this I shall neglect my studies and duties at the institution—if I do not receive your answer in 10 days—I will leave the Point without—for otherwise I should subject myself to dismission.
On the outside of this strangely confused plea (it was folded into its own envelope) is a note in John Allan's hand: "I rec d this on the ioth & did not from its conclusion deem it necessary to reply. I make this note on the 10th & can see no good Reason to alter my opinion. I do not think the Boy has one good quality. He may do or act as he pleases, tho' I w d have saved him but [not] on his own terms & conditions since I cannot believe a word he writes. His letter is the most barefaced one sided statement." The final break had occurred.
The pay of which Poe speaks in his letter is the travel pay allotted to cadets, which dismissed cadets did not receive; since he had no intention of returning home, he needed it desperately.

Putting 'Game Pieces' Together Online To Win Something Patented; All The Big Social Gaming Companies Sued
from the this-got-a-patent? dept
Someone, who prefers to remain anonymous, sent over the news that a company named Everglades Interactive has sued basically all of the big "social gaming" providers for patent infringement. Among those sued are EA, Playdom, Disney (which just bought Playdom), Zynga, Playfish, Rockyou and Crowdstar. The patent in question? It's patent 6,656,050, for an "odds accelerator for promotional type sweepstakes, games, and contests." If you read the details, it seems like the pretty standard process of taking various sweepstakes involving matching pieces (bottle caps, peel off stickers, etc.) to get certain prizes but moving it online. Of course, once you move such a physical process online, you can do slightly different things since you're not limited by geography and physical distribution. But all that seems like it should be obvious. Not to the patent examiners of course, who judged it patent worthy.
So how do all these social gaming sites infringe?
So how do all these social gaming sites infringe?
... by, among other things, making, using, importing, offering for sale, and/or selling products and services that provide game pieces that are applied to a game board at a game site, make information available about the pieces needed to complete a winning combination, allow the player to share or trade the game pieces, and enable the players to easily and securely store game pieces....Of course, you would think that since pretty much every social gaming system does this, that it would be clear that this was an obvious thing to do if you're building a social gaming system. But, tragically (and ridiculously), that's not how our patent system works.
