The relativity of time, discovered by 20th-century science, was revealed 1,400 years ago in the Qur'an.
For example, Allah emphasizes in several verses that the life of this world is very brief. Our Lord has informed us that the average human life span is as brief as "an hour of a single day":
On the Day He calls you, you will respond by praising Him and think that you have only tarried a very short time. (Surat al-Isra', 52)
On the day We gather them together—when it will seem if they had tarried no more than an hour of a single day—they will recognize one another. . . (Surah Yunus, 45)
In some verses, Allah reveals that time is much shorter than people imagine:
He will ask, "How many years did you tarry on the Earth?" They will say, "We tarried there for a day or part of a day. Ask those able to count!" He will say, "You tarried there for only a little while, if you did but know!" (Surat al-Muminun, 112-114)
In other verses of the Qur'an, it is revealed that time passes at different speeds in different dimensions. For example, it is stated that one day in the Sight of Allah is equal to one thousand human years. (Surat al-Hajj, 47)
Other verses on this subject read as follows:
The Angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day whose length is fifty thousand years. (Surat al-Ma'arij, 4)
He directs the whole affair from Heaven to Earth. Then it will again ascend to Him on a Day whose length is a thousand years by the way you measure. (Surat as-Sajda, 5)
The Companions of the Cave, a group of believers to whom Allah refers in the Qur'an, were kept in a profound slumber for around 300 years. When Allah later woke them, these people thought that a very short period of time had elapsed, and were unable to estimate for how long they had slept:
So We sealed their ears with sleep in the cave for a number of years. Then We woke them up again so that we might see which of the two groups would better calculate the time they had stayed there. (Surat al-Kahf, 11-12)
That was the situation when we woke them up so they could question one another. One of them asked, "How long have you been here?" They replied, "We have been here for a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord knows best how long you have been here." . . . (Surat al-Kahf, 19)
In the following verse, Allah also reveals an important proof of the fact that time is essentially a psychological perception:
Or the one who passed by a town which had fallen into ruin? He asked, "How can Allah restore this to life when it has died?" Allah caused him to die a hundred years then brought him back to life. Then He asked, "How long have you been here?" He replied, "I have been here a day or part of a day." He said, "Not so! You have been here a hundred years. Look at your food and drink—it has not gone bad—and look at your donkey so We can make you a Sign for all mankind. Look at the bones—how We raise them up and clothe them in flesh." When it had become clear to him, he said, "Now I know that Allah has power over all things." (Surat al-Baqara, 259)
These verses reveal that time is relative rather than absolute. It varies according to perception and the observer, and that fact was revealed 1,400 years ago in the Qur'an.

GLUKOS Energy sponsored athlete Jared Ward offers his first-time marathon advice. GLUKOS is the Official Gel & Gummie of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series.
First time marathon advice is hard. I feel like I'm faced with a lose-lose every time I'm asked. I either open up the floodgates of experience giving so much advice that none of it sticks; or I offer limited pearls in hopes something resonates, and consequently ensure I neglect something. Further, everyone's situation is different. Training, genetics, diet, and goals together offer few repeated data points. Compound that with different courses/weather and you'll never be able to find a fool-proof plan. In the end listening to your body is my best advice, but if you're running your first marathon then how do you know what your body is saying… Now we are back to the start. However this would not make a very fulfilling blog if I ended now, so at the expense of inevitably missing something, I'm going to offer some of what I've learned.
Don't start faster than you have trained for. Pay attention to what you can handle on your long runs, and make a hard cap on how fast you are going to let yourself start. I don't know the number of times I've been in the elite meetings the night prior to races and guys start changing their starting pace plans because the group is going to start faster. Why would you try to run faster than you have prepared for? You are living on a prayer—and asking for something you haven't worked for.
Practice like you are going to be racing. If your marathon has some hills, mix some of that into your training. If it's going to be hot, try to do some runs in the middle of the day. Practice finding what nutrition works for you—I practice with the GLUKOS I take during the marathon every long run. And run in the shoes that you plan to race in for some of your runs. I get into my Saucony Type A's at least once a week. You will want to train with the on-course nutrition for the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series and can pick up your Sample Pack here.
Find ways to make training and racing fun. Get into a running group, or find people in your skill level to commit to the same race. You are going to be more motivated at 6 a.m. for that run when there is someone else holding you accountable.
Set reasonable goals. Goals too low aren't motivating. Goals too high stress us out. You know you have the right goal when setting it empowers you. If your goal makes you anxious, it is probably too high; if it doesn't get you out of bed, then it's not big enough. Sometimes goals need adjusted along the way. If injury hits and you begin to fell nervous about your goal, then you need to reset your goal to a realistic level. If things are going better than expected, don't hesitate to push your goal a little higher.
Treat race day like it's just another run—because it is. You get up and run all the time, and race day is no different. Have a plan, and trust in your ability to execute it.
Most importantly have fun in the process of learning to push your body to new heights. This is the thrill of running for me. I love trying and do something better or faster than I have ever before done. Embrace the challenge. The marathon is you vs you. Win the battle.
– Jared Ward

For those of you who haven't met our wonderful Research Fellows, recent UC Hastings alumni Ariane Mohamadi and Timothy Yim have been working with two of the Institute's Programs, the Startup Legal Garage and the Privacy & Technology Project. They have been joined by Research Fellow, Brian Pascal, who holds an undergraduate degree in physics from Duke and a JD from Michigan. Brian's work experience includes Palantir and Stanford's Center for Internet & Society. Together, Brian, Ariane and Tim bring a wealth of expertise and experience in the privacy and startup worlds, and all three will be continuing on with the Institute in the coming year.
Finally, the Institute is sad to announce the departure of Charles Belle, also a UC Hastings alumnus. Charles was the Executive Director of the Institute and Research Director of the Privacy & Technology Project.

Nevis pig race will decide Coleman/Franken Senate race
BEMIDJI, Minn. -- Minnesota's long-running U.S. Senate will be decided July 5 in Nevis.
Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken will see their battle decided by surrogates -- pigs -- in a race tp the finish.
The "pork barrel race" to end the Coleman/Franken election is part of Nevis' Fourth of July festivities that includes the inaugural Nevis Pig Races, says Dave McCurnin of the Nevis Chamber & Commerce Association.
"For a small fraction of the $50 million spent by the candidates so far, each will get his name on the back of a piglet," McCurnin said Tuesday. "Whichever of these cute babies gets to the finish first will drop the curtain on this never-ending and much wrung-out election."
Coleman, the incumbent senator, and Franken are awaiting the decision of the Minnesota Supreme Court in Coleman's appeal asking that some 4,000 absentee ballots be counted. At this point, Franken has the lead -- 312 votes of nearly 3 million votes cast.
"This (the pig race) is more exciting than the eight-month wait now in the Supreme Court," McCurnin said. "This should have been decided by an NFL referee -- they decide on the field."
McCurnin didn't say what would happen if the Supreme Court issues its ruling before July 5.
To keep the race clean, McCurnin said the piglets will be given drug tests. "Side bets will not be taken for this particular race and the trainers confirmed they won't be tempted to take bribes to throw the race," he said.
"We'll decide this in 10 seconds -- we'll have hanging pig tails while Florida has hanging chads," McCurnin said. "The results will be unofficial until certified by the Supreme Court."
Nevis Pig Races start at 4:05 p.m. in downtown Nevis -- population 364 -- and feature nine five-piglet races and the Coleman/Franken piglet race. The latter is scheduled to start at 5:31 p.m.
The Nevis Chamber & Commerce is looking for area businesses and individuals to sponsor the piglets, and will have their logo printed on a vest worn by the sponsored pig.
Coleman and Franken pigs will have the candidate's names on them, McCurnin said, with an anonymous sponsor already set for the Coleman pig.
"Maybe we'll have Rush Limbaugh or Steven Colbert sponsor the Franken pig," McCurnin said.

The New Jersey "Medicaid Program Integrity and Protection Act", C.30:4D-53 et seq. established the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General to detect, prevent and investigate Medicaid fraud and abuse, recover improperly expended Medicaid funds, enforce Medicaid rules and regulations, audit cost reports and claims and review quality of care given to Medicaid recipients.
On June 29, 2010, Governor Chris Christie signed P.L. 2010, Chapter 33, which officially transferred these functions, powers and duties of the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General to the Office of the State Comptroller.
The Office of the State Comptroller then created the Medicaid Fraud Division. The Division conducts investigations of fraud, waste and abuse, performs background checks on all Medicaid provider applicants, and coordinates oversight efforts among all State agencies which provide and administer Medicaid services and programs, including FamilyCare and Charity Care.
The Medicaid Fraud Division also works to recover improperly expended Medicaid funds, enforces Medicaid rules and regulations, audits cost reports and claims, reviews the quality of care given to Medicaid recipients and excludes or terminates providers from the Medicaid program where necessary.
Additionally, the Division refers criminal prosecutions to the Attorney General's office, issues recommendations for corrective or remedial actions to the Governor, President of the Senate, and Speaker of the General Assembly and conducts educational programs for Medicaid providers, vendors, contractors and recipients.

BUSTER: Ski tips up. This kind of skiing is my speed. It's nice and sunny, not too steep, and no jumps. Hey, look, that guy's skiing sitting down. I've got to go see what that's about, okay?
BOY: Yeah, I'll wait for you right here.
BUSTER: Hi. My name's Buster.
RICKY: Hi. I'm Ricky.
BUSTER: Nice to meet you. I've never seen a ski like that. What is it?
RICKY: It's called a mono-ski.
BUSTER: "Mono-ski"? Because there's just one ski?
RICKY: Yeah.
BUSTER: Why do you use a mono-ski?
RICKY: Because I was born with a disability and I can't ski on regular two skis, so I use this.
BUSTER: It looks like it'd be a lot of fun. How does it work?
RICKY: Well, I just ski on that and then I have my outriggers with... it has a small ski and some brakes on the back to stop me, and that just helps me with my balance so that I won't fall over. And if I do, I just can get back up with them.
BUSTER: Are there other mono-skiers around? Do you ever have races?
RICKY: Yeah, they have competitions for qualifying for the Paralympics, and just doing ones for fun. I did one for fun about a week ago, and then I'm working to go to nationals.
BUSTER: Cool!
RICKY: Yeah, it's really fun. I've... like, I've never tried two skis, so I don't know how much fun that is, but this is a blast for me.
BUSTER: You want to take a run with me and Squirt?
RICKY: Sure.
BUSTER: Come on, Squirt!
Wow! These guys are really hard to keep up with.

Tired of the same old strategy game-play?
Wondering when the next generation of city-building is coming?
Looking for a unique and innovative PC title that delivers solid game-play with first class audio and visuals?
How about unparalleled detail and realism, a rich 3D game environment where you are encouraged to explore the immersive setting, and where all game components are so seamlessly integrated that once you enter the game world you'll never want to leave?
Chris Beatrice, president of Tilted Mill and Director of Development states: "Children of the Nile is both the apex of evolution in city building, representing a massive leap forward in an otherwise stagnant genre and, paradoxically, what this genre should have been all along. It is one of those rare games where a unique synergy of components produces an extraordinarily deep and meaningful experience for the person playing it."

This post is part of a blog series which focuses on translating compatibility views in SQL Server to their respective dynamic management objects. You can find a list of all of the deprecated views in the introduction post.
The compatibility view sysremotelogins returns a row for every remote user with access to call remote stored procedures. The users returned are for the entire SQL Server instance.
The catalog view that replaces sysremotelogins is sys.remote_logins. This view also returns one row for each remote user with permission to execute remote stored procedures.
Query Via sysremotelogins
There isn't much to sysremotelogins. There are columns to identify the row in the view, the name of the user, the change date, and the login associated with the remote login. The only potentially complex column is the status column, but in this compatibility view, the column always returns a 0. Querying the view results in a query similar to the one provided in Listing 1.
--Listing 1 – Query for sys.sysremotelogins SELECT remoteserverid ,remoteusername ,status ,sid ,changedate FROM sysremotelogins
Query via sys.remote_logins
Moving on to sys.remote_logins, querying the catalog view doesn't get much more difficult than with sysremotelogins. The chief difference between the two is the availability of local_principal_id in the catalog view that replaces the sid in the compatibility view. The resulting query for the catalog view is provided in Listing 2.
--Listing 2 – Query for sys.remote_logins SELECT rl.server_id AS remoteserverid , rl.remote_name AS remoteusername , 0 AS status , sp.sid , rl.modify_date AS changedate , rl.local_principal_id FROM sys.remote_logins rl LEFT JOIN sys.server_principals sp ON rl.local_principal_id = sp.principal_id
In this post, we mapped the functionality of the compatibility view sysremotelogins with the catalog view sys.remote_logins. Between the two views, the primary difference is the change in column names. With the secondary difference being related to the sid column; which now requires a join to retrieve. After reading all of this, do you see any reason to continue using sysremotelogins? Is there anything missing from this post that people continuing to use the compatibility view should know?

Since it seems Obama responds well to input from Wall Street
Gang Banksters, how would this group react to your proposal?
If it doesn't benefit them, I would assume they would be against it; if they're against it, I assume nothing would cause Obama to implement it.
Since Obama seems under the thrall of Austerians, I don't think he has the understanding of economics/finance or the personal courage to be able to implement the program if he faces not only Republican criticism but also that of the Wall Street Gang Banksters and their MCM (Mainstream Corporate Media).
So: What would be the effects on the banksters' interests?
And: What could induce Obama to enact the plan you recommend?
I fear Obama will "go right on failing us by letting the losing political dialogue continue undisturbed."

Hi Everyone,
I recently turned 20 and I have almost a year of credit history. I have two credit cards, one cap one card ($500 limit) and a Target Redcard ($200 limit). I hope to buy a house by july and a car by the end of the year, for now I will continue to work hard to PIF every month and get to my goal of a score of 750.
Welcome to the forums, MrRJ!
saw my scores raise close to 100 pts in 2k11 hope to see them raise another 100 in 2k12
Happy Credit in 2012!!!
Debt : 2k Student Loan & $190 (1K Limit Secured CC)
Goal : To have my student loan paid off by 2012 & reach 700 by the end of February
Short Term : Will be purchasing a fairly new vehicle within the next 2 months so would like to obtain a low APR and have it breeze by
Long Term : Making a big move to the " Queen City " the second half of the year so I would like to have a strong credit stance
Kuddos : Thanks to www.myfico.com forums for my ongoing success and education on all things pertaining to credit. Without the forum I would be shooting blind!!
** I have spread the word about this site for some time and plan to hold a beginner credit course with my team of agents at work. We all have to start somewhere**
Current score: 673
Goal score: 700+
Credit card usage continues to lower my score. My goal for 2012 is to eliminate all credit card debt while having 0 inquiries.
I had a BK in 07/05... another 2012 goal will be to pull all reports and ensure all accounts are correct. I did this a few years after filing but it never hurts to re-check
A little History, then to the goals.
I was upside down by $20k, had a jugement for $2k and other past due bills..in 2008 filed Chapter 7. I was a mess. I started reading and rebuilding. My BK was discharged in July of 2008. I had a 403 credit score.
I took out a high interest car note, picked up some high interest credit cards, and bought a house on Land contract. I got a better paying job. I started working hard, and working harder on my credit.
My goal for this year is to get my score over 700. I want to move, and to buy a house in Florida, and ether trade in this high interest card,or refinance it. I recently had the jugements removed from my credit report, I haven't had a late pay in almost 3 years, and I have quite a few accounts open. I have $1400 in Credit card debt and enough cash in the bank to pay them all off at once.
I've gone from 403 to 653+ in the past 3 years....It's getting over the 700 hump I'm working for!!!
I have paid a lot of my debt off in the last 2 years totaling over $40,000 I have no bad debt. I tried to open a BOA secured card in April of 2011 and was denied. WHAT I could not believe it denied for a secured credit card. I didn't even know that they pulled your credit for one of those. My TU was 607, EQ 617, EX 622 And it dropped my EX credit score by 30 points I could not believe it, I was at a loss for words. But then I applied cautiously for a PSB secured card and got it and they did not pull my credit for it. Now I only have a $2700.00 student loan, a $10,500 Auto Loan, and a zero balance on my PSB card and my FH account.
My current Scores
I am trying to get better scores but I am at a loss. I have never filed bankruptcy and have no bad debt and my scores have been pretty much like this since October of 2011 I see little to no increase in those numbers what is going on. I need to get my scores higher. Does anyone have any suggestions, because I am plumb out of ideas.
Hello my fellow FICO Challengers:
I'm new to the forum but am very excited to start and succeed!
I'm currently at a 644 and my goal is to be at 700 and beyond!
My goal is to be a proud homeowner this year. I'm tired of renting and paying off other people's mortgages. In 2000-2001 my score was at 800 but I allowed my love life to ruin my credit. I let him use my cards and credit and soon my score dropped to the low 500's "ouch". Well believe me I learned my lesson. I'm now in the process of rebuilding my credit and it feels good to see a better score now. I have one credit card I use and pay religiously on time and have one car loan that I also pay on time.
I'm taking steps to remove old complied with negative information on my report and hopefully it'll help raise my score a bit. I also still have 1 collection item on their but i'm going to take care of that very soon. And that's it!
I glad to be here and hope to report a better score soon
Wow. Didn't know that this existed. My goal is to reduce all my detb to mortgage and student loans. One thing working against me is an insufficient credit history. But it's all good. I have a couple of secured credit cards under my belt that have bosted my score.
Hello my fellow FICO Fitness Challengers 2012:
I'm excited to be here to start and succeed at building my score!
My goal is be to at a 700 and beyond so that I can be a proud homeowner. I'm tired of renting and paying off other people's mortgages.
In 2000-2001, I allowed my love life to take precedence over the important things in life. I allowed him to use my cards and my credit and by the time I knew it, my score was in the low 500's "ouch". Well I learned my lesson.
I'm currently writing to companies and removing old complied with negative information from my credit report. I now have "one" card I use and pay religiously, I also have one car loan I pay religiously on too. I only have one collection item on my report that I will be paying very soon (thankfully it's a small amount)
Hopefully when you hear from me again I'll be reporting a better score

(Reuters) - Electronic-components maker Laird Plc said revenue from its largest customer -- widely assumed to be Apple Inc -- fell 17 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, contributing to a 2 percent fall in overall revenue.
Laird, which makes electromagnetic shielding and heat control components for wireless devices, said it expected another quarter of declining revenue before growth resumes in the second half of the year as customers and the company itself launch new products. It maintained its full-year forecast.
Total revenue fell to 119 million pounds ($184.59 million) for the quarter ended March 31 from 122 million pounds a year earlier, the company said in an interim management statement.
A company representative declined to identify the largest customer, but analysts said Laird has confirmed in the past that it is Apple and that they assumed the company was referring to the iPhone and iPad maker in its statement on Friday.
"I think it's become clear that there had been a overbuild through Q4 by the said largest customer and I think therefore as we got into Q1 the general weakness was exacerbated by destocking cycle," Peel Hunt analyst Dominic Convey said.
Convey also noted that lower-cost smartphone makers were taking market share from Apple.
Laird also supplies components to Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.
Revenue fell marginally in both the core performance materials division, which makes devices for smartphones and tablets, and the wireless systems business.
The materials division accounted for 73 million pounds of revenue while the wireless systems business contributed 47 million pounds.
The wireless business has been affected by a slowdown in wireless spending and lower sales to the public safety market, Laird said.
Brokerage Investec put its forecasts, target price and recommendation under review following the results and said it initially expected to trim its forecasts by 2-3 percent.
Investec has "hold" recommendation on the stock, with a target price of 240 pence. Laird's shares were down 3.3 percent at 209.7 pence on the London Stock Exchange at 7:35 a.m. ET.
The company, which also makes smart chips for GPS and radio systems in cars, reported a 17 percent rise in full-year profit in March, citing growing demand in the smart-device market.

Ken Feinberg (And Me!) On How To Settle A Dispute
Ken Feinberg is probably America's most well-known neutral - an attorney, mediator and special master in administering mega-settlements such as those formed to compensate the victims of the 9/11 attacks, the Virginia Tech massacre and the BP Gulf Coast oil spill. Although some might say its not difficult to make everyone happy when you have virtually unlimited funds to disburse, not everyone is happy with the outcome of his work, and that's probably how it should be.
Having read about his work and heard Mr. Feinberg speak in person, he impresses me as someone who deserves the recognition he's achieved. That's why I was anxious to learn what he had to say when asked about his "priority list" for how to settle a dispute. Appearing in the 7/29/12 NY Times one page magazine (hat tip to the ADR Prof Blog), Mr. Feinberg told Spencer Bailey -
In all the negotiations I do, there's a priority list: One, know the facts. Two, be dogged. Three, keep an open mind. Next, be creative in getting to "yes." Finally, a very important basic proposition: Put yourself in the other person's shoes.
Amazing, I thought to myself. These are exactly the priorities I would have listed in answer to the same question. What does that tell me? It probably says that I've had some great mediation instructors, and enough experience to have learned what works and what doesn't.
It is quite another matter to have the ability to carry out the priorities Mr. Feinberg identifies. That's where the work really begins. Harder still is convincing parties to mediation (and their counsel) that you know the right priorities and have the ability to make mediation worth their effort. Ken Feinberg has their trust and confidence when he walks in the room. The rest of us work to earn it every chance we get.

My plan first was to build a 90s retro gaming PC with Windows 98 but since it was a huge headache cos almost nothing worked on it and blue screens of death were showing and I'm not that into 90s anyway except a handful of games I decided to build a mid 2000s PC from the few old PCs lying around. It was not my intention initally but almost all the components are high-end for the time:
- Pentium 4 (D?) hyper threaded 3.6 Ghz at stock
- Geforce 6800
- 2 gigs of random ram
- 80 gig Excelstor 7200 rpm HDD
And yesterday I got a really nice 19 inch 4:3 Samsung monitor so it is almost complete, the only thing left is a cooler for the GPU as the original was really loud and I made a custom solution for the time being while ordered a new cooler on ebay.
The first game I'm playing is Xpand Rally, an underappreciated really great racing game, it feels like RPG cos you have so many car upgrades available but so little prize money for each race. It does work on modern PCs and is available on Steam but it looks terible on widescreen. And my next game is going to be Unreal of course.
I will later add pics of this glorious beast.
My new mid 2000s retro gaming PC

BRIDGEPORT — Hey, are you jonesing for a vape fix?
Mike Scavello can hook you up better than anybody.
And if you're a smoker who hasn't made the switch to vaping yet but you truly have a desire to quit tobacco, odds are Scavello will convert you to the e-smoking way of life and have you puffing away in nothing flat.
Electronic cigarettes are about the same size as the real thing, but are battery-powered to deliver nicotine in a vapor rather than tobacco smoke.
They helped the Bridgeport native kick the "lung dart" habit more than a year ago and he decided to tell the world by opening the area's first e-cig emporium and lounge, The World's Finest Vape Shop.
In the process, the persuasive and uniquely credible salesman put his passion to work for him by becoming the World's Finest Vape Spokesman.
"It's one thing to sell something you have no ties to, but it's so much easier to sell something that's actually working for you," he said, sitting in the small shop's vaping lounge, furnished with an overstuffed couch, flat-screen TV, books and a coffee maker. "I smoked cigarettes for 15 years and I'm an example of how good this thing works."
Scavello discovered e-cigarettes in Cape Coral, Fla., while visiting his parents, who were on vacation there.
"Down South there are shops like this all over the place," said Scavello, who added it's just a matter of time before storefronts like his start popping up everywhere.
"My parents don't drink or smoke, so as a smoker I've always been like the black sheep of the family, although I never smoked in their presence," he said.
He recalled feeling guilty one day when his dad climbed into his truck and had an allergic reaction to residual smoke, which Scavello thought he had masked with air freshener.
That's when he wandered into a vape shop to find out more about the misty trend.
"It was a vaping lounge, and I thought, 'This is really cool,' so I bought a kit, went back the next day and bought another kit. I went back five days in a row and bought five kits. I was so drawn into it, so absorbed that I just had to have more. It was amazing, because I literally picked one up and never touched a cigarette again."
He even turned on his 80-year-old grandmother — a smoker for more than 60 years — to the joys of vaping, he said.
Scavello researched the rapidly growing industry for eight months and decided in March it was time to introduce the area to the high-tech smoking alternative that changed his life.
Although the Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation mechanism, The Wall Street Journal predicts that sales will reach $1 billion this year.
Scavello said he is getting in on the ground floor of the boom and that before long shops like his will be popping up all over the Northeast.
The World's Greatest Vape Shop stocks all manner of mostly American-made, battery-powered devices that release vapor by heating nicotine-laced liquid, which Scavello said eliminates the toxic chemicals generated by tobacco smoke.
The percentage of nicotine can be customized, he explained.
"If you smoke one cigarette a day or three packs a day, I can accommodate you. It's the safest way to deliver nicotine."
A pack-a day-smoker might start out on 18 milligrams a day and slowly get weaned down to weaker juice, said Scavello, who can mimic the flavor of a smoker's favorite brand, from Marlboro to Camel, or concoct tantalizing flavors that have nothing at all to do with tobacco.
Lots of customers are steaming — in a good way — over such infusions as chocolate, bacon and cherry Coke.
"I don't just sell you something. I sit you down and find a flavor that suits you," Scavello said.
With starter kits available for $27.99, smokers who become vapers will save themselves a ton of money in the long run, he said.
"The average person spends about 300 bucks a month on cigarettes," he said. "A bottle of juice for $11.99 will last about a month and is economically a better choice. You can taste the same thing you're now smoking, so why wouldn't you transition?"
Officially, the shop is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., but Scavello, who runs his dad's company, M. Scavello Inc., during the day while his wife takes care of the store, said he provides a 24-hour service.
"I get people at 1 o'clock in the morning who want to buy stuff, so I will come down and open up for them," he said. "Because it's so new people have a lot of questions. In this kind of business you build a relationship with your customers. It's hard enough to quit smoking, let alone quitting smoking and going into a whole new world like vaping."

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The president of Virginia Tech announced his retirement Tuesday, satisfied he had elevated the university's reputation and acknowledging that the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history on his campus would be a part of his legacy.
Charles Steger, 65, continues to be a central figure and criticized for the way the Blacksburg campus responded on April 16, 2007, when a student-gunman killed 32 students and faculty before killing himself.
"It's part of our legacy, it's part of history," Steger said in an interview with The Associated Press. "It was an unprecedented tragedy."
Steger said he will draw on the killings, in part, for a book he plans to write in retirement on the resilience of communities to recover from disasters, manmade and natural. Tech, he said, was able to move on after the shootings because of a strong sense of community.
"I think the community is probably closer together as a result of that," he said. "I think there's a common bond."
Through his 14 years as president, Steger has won much praise.
The university increased its research portfolio more than 300 percent, with university research growing from $192 million in 2000 to more than $450 million currently, the school noted. It also increased enrollment, capital projects and raised more than $1 billion in private funding. The university also formed a school of biomedical engineering and created a school of medicine.
However, he has been criticized by some parents of shooting victims and others for not warning the campus sooner that a shooter had killed two students in a residence hall on April 16. More than two hours later, when the alert was issued that a shooter remained at large, student Seung-Hui Cho was chaining shut the doors to a classroom building where he killed 30 more students and faculty before turning the gun on himself as police closed in.
The state Supreme Court will hear arguments in June that Steger should be put on trial for his actions that day.
The attorney representing two families who lost their daughters criticized Steger's parting statement.
"His university suffered the greatest loss of human life on any college campus during his tenure, but he couldn't find it in his heart to recognize and honor the 30 dead students and faculty ... who might be with us today had he shared with them the alert he sent the governor after the first two shootings: 'We have one dead and one wounded, gunman on loose,'" Robert T. Hall said in a statement.
Steger defended his actions on Tuesday. He said investigators at the scene of the first shootings believed the victims were specifically targeted and the gunman did not pose a threat to the larger campus.
"We did the best we could knowing what we knew at the time," he said.
Steger also was commended for his steady hand leading the university through tough times after the shooting.
The announcement of his retirement brought praise for his tenure from Gov. Bob McDonnell, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., among others, and from Steger's counterpart at the University of Virginia, Teresa A. Sullivan. "During his term as president, he has strengthened Virginia Tech's programs in Blacksburg while extending the university's reach on the state, national and international levels," she said in a statement.
McDonnell said the state "will be forever indebted to Dr. Steger for his stalwart leadership and strategic vision in transforming the land grand institution into one of the leading research institutions in the nation."
Steger will remain on the job until a successor is found. "Be prepared to work seven days a week," he said he'll advise his replacement. "I'm not joking about that, by the way."
Steger is a three-time Virginia Tech grad. He became the youngest dean of architecture in the nation when he assumed the head of the university's College of Architecture and Urban Studies at age 33. He was named president in 2000.
While he didn't address the shootings in his note to the campus community, Steger complimented the Virginia Tech family on its "indomitable spirit."
"We have the entrepreneurial culture, the creativity, the ability to leverage our strengths, and the willingness to take calculated risks that sets us apart from other universities and enables us move forward," he wrote.
Mike Quillen, rector of the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors, said the board "sadly" accepted Steger's desire to step down.
"Charles has truly been outstanding, visionary, and productive," he said in a statement. "I believe when history looks back upon his tenure as president, he will be ranked among the best of Virginia Tech's strong leaders."
Besides the book, Steger said he will be involved with an international conference in Switzerland and various research projects.
"I haven't quite decided all that yet, but I'm certainly not going to play golf five days a week," he said.

Steve found that this is from an advertisement that American Airlines ran in various magazines in 1949. This one is from the April 4, 1949 issue of Time.
The title reads "This month a grand old plane makes its last flight." The copy states that the DC-3 (21 passengers at 200 mph) was being replaced by the DC-6 (52 passengers at 300 mph) and the Convair CV-240 (40 passengers at 300 mph). The DC-4 (44 passengers at 227 mph) had been retired by the airline the year before.

Heroin use draws in wide circle of victims
A former Groton Utilities lineman is charged with stealing tools and copper wire from his employer. The next time he's arrested, he's charged with stealing guns from his father.
Two brothers burglarize their neighbor and then, with the help of their father, pawn the stolen equipment.
Two buddies steal copper tubing from a vacant home and then head off to a scrapyard to sell the materials.
The common thread amongthese crimes: They were all fueled by a need to feed a heroin addiction.
The effects of heroin addiction don't end there. Heroin use and the crimes committed to get the drug have other victims: family members who are betrayed by their loved ones; neighborhoods on edge when they hear of a home being burglarized; and society at large as handguns are sold to drug dealers.
Police say they have seen an increase in burglaries committed by people who will do just about anything to get the money to buy heroin.
"People are stealing from family even after they get caught, which shows you the strength of the addiction," Ledyard Lt. Michael Finkelstein said.
On Feb. 8, a vehicle driven by James C. Murphy, 38, was stopped by Groton town police and Murphy was charged with possession of narcotics. An officer noticed an empty Rock Island Armory pistol case and some ammunition in the vehicle. Murphy told the officer that the gun that belonged in the case had been stolen from his father, who lives in Ledyard.
Ledyard police were asked to verify the story. They spoke to Murphy's father, who told them three more guns were missing from his residence. According to the arrest warrant in the case, he also told police that his son had a heroin and prescription drug addiction. Murphy's father previously reported another three guns missing.
Ledyard police interviewed Murphy about the stolen weapons. He admitted that he was addicted to Percocet and heroin, and that he had sold or traded five of the six firearms to drug dealers in exchange for heroin and other narcotics. He denied stealing one of the handguns. The weapons were not recovered.
Ledyard police charged Murphy with stealing six firearms.
Finkelstein said it is important for people to report stolen weapons so that police immediately can begin working on recovering them.
"There is always a concern that the weapon ends up in the wrong hands," he said. "That's always the fear, that it could be used in a serious crime."
One year earlier, Groton City police had interviewed Murphy about some pawned items. He'd told them he had received treatment for addiction and was "currently rehabilitated."
At that time, Murphy admitted that he had stolen tools from his then-employer, Groton Utilities, where he worked as a lineman, to help buy drugs for his growing addiction to pain medication and heroin. He said his addiction began in the summer of 2012.
Police charged him with stealing more than $6,500 in equipment, of which $4,500 worth was recovered.
Despite his claim of being rehabilitated, court records show that Murphy and another man stole from Groton Utilities three more times during the first week of April 2013. The pair allegedly stole copper wire used by line crews and various tools.
Groton City police said that when they searched Murphy's truck, they found two crack pipes, one used syringe with residue, copper wire and an orange cover for a chain saw, the warrant said.
Murphy's criminal cases are pending. Attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.
Family feeds addiction
Finkelstein said the prevalence of heroin influences the way his department conducts its investigations of other crimes. When they go to a crime scene of a reported burglary, they assesswhat was stolen. Can it be pawned easily? Did the person recently have a visitor with a drug history? Does the victim live near any known drug users?
And while answers in the affirmative don't necessarily mean the crime was committed by a heroin user, he said, they can help narrow the field of suspects.
In July, Ledyard police were dispatched to investigate a burglary at a house on Avery Hill Road Extension. The victim told police that he noticed his shed doors were open and that a circular saw, miter saw, palm sander and drill were missing.
Police found a trail of footsteps leading from the shed through a wooded area to a familiar house on Whalehead Road. Police previously had arrested several residents, members of the Mitchell family, including the father, Patrick, and two sons, Preston and Anthony, in connection with several larcenies in the region, according to the warrant for the burglary on Avery Hill Road Extension.
"The entire family has admitted to their addiction to heroin and has explained that this was the reason for their criminal behavior," the warrant says.
Police interviewed Preston R. Mitchell, 21, and his brother Anthony W. Mitchell, 23, who admitted to stealing the items from Avery Hill Road Extension.
Anthony Mitchell told police that he had to steal to feed his heroin addiction.
"Anthony stated the reason they are stealing is because they get dope sick," the warrant says. "Anthony stated they can't get jobs because of their heroin habit, therefore cannot get money to buy heroin, therefore they steal."
According to the warrant, the brothers had loaded the tools into a van and immediately driven to a pawn shop. Their father pawned the items under his name and got $60 for them, police said.
The brothers then "immediately" drove to New London and bought 1½ bundles of heroin, then went back to their home and shot up, the warrant says.
The brothers were sentenced last year for this crime and other larcenies.
Preston Mitchell declined to comment publicly on his family's struggles but said the family is now sober. Anthony Mitchell could not be reached for comment.
Finkelstein said it is outside of the police department's purview to facilitate treatment for an addict, but he and his officers make a concerted effort to note in their reports when a crime is linked to heroin use, in the hopes that the criminal court system will provide help for the addict.
"We don't know what's going on inside of people's homes," he said, "so I can't say if more people are using. What I do know is that we have seen an increase in crime. It's hard to track down heroin because everyone is so mobile."
In the suburbs, too
Deputy Chief Peter Reichard said New London also has experienced a spike in burglaries. He said he can't say for sure that it's because of heroin, but "I'm not seeing marijuana users committing burglaries to maintain their addiction."
Reichard said that the addictive nature of the heroin plus the fact that it's relatively inexpensive makes it extremely dangerous.
He said heroin users are constantly thinking about their next hit and will steal from anyone, including "grandma," to get their next fix.
The city's vice and intelligence unit is working on numerous active investigations linked to heroin, he said. While he cannot disclose the details, he did note that heroin use is not just a New London problem, and that many users who purchase the drug are from the suburbs.
"I don't believe there is a typical heroin user like back in the '70s and '80s," he said. "We can't use that stereotype anymore. A guy with a shirt and tie could be a heroin user."
Reichard said that when police make a narcotics arrest, they try to get as much information as they can from the suspects and to see whether they can be connected to other crimes.
That's what happened on Dec. 20, 2012, when New London police arrested James Taylor of Westerly and Jeffrey Chapman of Ledyard for attempting to buy heroin.
During the arrest, New London police contacted Ledyard police for information about burglaries the men said they knew about.
Ledyard police traveled to New London and interviewed the men. According to Taylor's arrest warrant, he said the previous day that he and Chapman had been driving in the Highlands neighborhood looking at empty houses. He said Chapman entered a house and stole copper pipe. The pair then went to a scrapyard on Dec. 20, where they sold the copper for $312.
"They then took the money to New London and attempted to buy heroin, but were arrested by New London police," the warrant says.
Chapman confirmed Taylor's version, although he said Taylor also entered the Highland residence.
Chapman is serving prison time in connection with the burglary and narcotics case. Taylor could not be reached for comment.
"Some heroin users are spending $100 a day to feed their habit," Reichard said. "I don't know too many people who have an extra $100 a day to spend, and that's why they are stealing."

What's That Magic Spray?
The World Cup's special injury potion, revealed.
Download the MP3 audio version of this story here, or sign up for The Explainer's free daily podcast on iTunes.
Avid watchers of the World Cup soccer tournament have seen the same peculiar scene over and over again: Team doctors tend to an injured player by dousing his wound with a so-called magic spray. Moments later he's on his feet and racing down the pitch. What is this magic spray, and where can I get some?
It could be anything. Trainers might resort to any of several remedies for an on-field treatment, all of which can come out of a spray can or bottle. They might use cold water, for example, to cool off an overheated athlete. Or they might spray an abrasion with a tincture of benzoin so they can stick a bandage on some sweaty skin. It's safe to assume that some magic spray cans contain "skin refrigerants," chemicals like ethyl chloride that freeze and numb the surface of the skin on contact.
Skin refrigerants are easy to order online—a few bucks will get you a small can of a dimethyl ether "coolant cold spray"—but they may not help your injury very much. Some trainers don't bother with cold sprays, arguing that they provide at most a few minutes of anesthesia. That's enough to help you out if you're at the doctor's office and you're about to get a shot. But it's not going to do much for your dinged knee over the course of a soccer match. The cold spray's proponents say it can have positive psychological effects, and that it is most effective for injuries that cause a lot of pain over a short period of time, like a badly stubbed toe.
For fans, the phrase "magic spray" refers to the potion's impossible restorative powers. If the magic spray "works," the player probably took a dive and faked his injury. Magical soccer cure-alls are nothing new. The sprays are in vogue now, but the team docs used to treat phantom injuries with something called the "magic sponge."
Magic spray may be an invention of professional soccer, but skin refrigerants have been around for a long time. In the mid-1860s, a doctor named Benjamin Richardson developed the first aerosol to be used as a cooling anesthetic. The Nation printed an account of his magic spray can in May of 1866: "By employing in this instrument some highly volatile liquid, like ether, and throwing this out as a volume of fine spray, there would be produced, by the evaporation of the ether, such intense cold as would quickly benumb, and so render insensible to pain, any small portion of the human body that might be subjected to it."

A looming strike at East and Gulf Coast ports has been avoided as the months-long labor negotiations finally reached a tentative agreement.
Late Friday, Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Director George H. Cohen, who has been moderating the negotiations since last year, issued a statement indicating that a tentative agreement had been reached regarding the Master Agreement between the United States Maritime Alliance and the International Longshoremen's Association.
In his statement, Cohen notes that "the tentative agreement is subject to the ratification procedures of both parties and, as well, to agreements being achieved in a number of local union negotiations. Those local negotiations are ongoing and will continue without interruption to any port operation."
Cohen did not disclose any details of the agreement between the two parties.
The FMCS has been leading negotiations between the two parties since last September, when the previous contract ended. Potential port strikes were averted when both parties agreed to extend the deadline for 90 days. They postponed the deadline two more times, with the most recent deadline set to end on Feb. 6.
The National Retail Federation, the world's largest retail trade association, issued a statement from President and CEO Matthew Shay on the tentative contract agreement between the International Longshoremen's Association and United States Maritime Alliance:
"The retail industry, which supports one in every four U.S. jobs, is pleased to hear that the ILA and USMX have reached a tentative, long-term master contract. We urge the parties to quickly complete any outstanding negotiations, including local negotiations at each of the individual 14 ports, and quickly ratify the new labor agreement.
"If the tentative agreement holds, the new labor contract will bring much-needed certainty and predictability to the supply chain for retailers, manufacturers, farmers and other industries that rely on the ports to move the nation's commerce and trade. The new port labor contract, which covers container operations at each of the 14 East and Gulf Coast ports, from Maine to Texas, will help make these major ports more competitive and efficient."

Upper Bavaria
Marienplatz, Munich
An absolute must for any city break to Munich is the Marienplatz in the pedestrian zone. The Glockenspiel with its 43 chimes offers a spectacle for tourists from around the world every day at 11 o'clock and noon, and at 5 o'clock during the summer months. It is housed in the façade of the new town hall. At Christmas time you can visit the Christmas market here.
Zugspitze mountain
With 500,000 visitors every year, this ranks as the third most significant sight in Bavaria. The Zugspitze is 2,962 metres, making it Germany's highest mountain. Visitors can choose from three cable cars to reach the peak quickly and comfortably and enjoy the view.

TUNIS (Reuters) - The widow of assassinated politician ???????????Chokri Belaid said on Saturday she was asking the Tunisian government to provide her family with official protection.
"After the killing of Chokri I am asking the Ministry of the Interior to provide official protection to me I and my daughters ... If any attack happens to the family, I will accuse the Ministry of Interior officially," Basma Belaid said On television.
Belaid's killing by an unidentified gunman on Wednesday -- Tunisia's first such political assassination in decades -- has shaken a nation still seeking stability after the overthrow of veteran strongman Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011.
Belaid's family has accused the ruling Islamist party Ennahda of responsibility for his killing. The party denies any hand in it.
''We intend to begin judicial action to sue all those who accuse Mr Rached al-Ghannouchi, head of the Ennahda party, be they politicians or journalists who are exploiting the blood of the deceased for narrow political ends at the expense of the truth'', Rached Gannouchi, the head of Ennahda, said in a statement on Saturday.
Tunisia's political transition had been more peaceful than those in other Arab nations such as Egypt and Libya, but tensions are running high between Islamists elected to power and liberals who fear the loss of hard-won freedoms.
Nejib Chebbi, leader of the Republican secular party, said that the Tunisian president provided him with official protection after he received death threats a few weeks ago. Secularists fear that the assassination of Belaid could prompt other copycat killings in Tunisia.
Belaid's funeral on Friday drew the biggest crowds seen on Tunisia's streets since the overthrow of veteran strongman Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011.

In my garden these often appear after dark and I have never been able to photograph one before. They are accomplished jumpers when disturbed.
Although not visible in this photo , it appeared to have no problem in delicately negotiating a spider`s web and stopping every now and then to eat whatever it found.
I`d love to know more about this strange but beautiful looking creature.
It is a female bush cricket:
- female because of the ovipositor
- bush cricket rather than grasshopper because of the long slender antennae (rather than short stubby)
If I am seeing your photo correctly, this is one of the two oak bush crickets (Meconema spp.).
These two species have a yellow line along the middle of their back, and I can't quite tell if I am seeing that, or whether that's a reflection of your camera's flash light (like on its legs); I suspect it is not the flash reflection.
The two species are:
- oak bush cricket, Meconema thalassinum
- southern oak bush cricket, Meconema meridionale
To tell which species it is, see the guidance on these pages (especially the size):
- http://www.orthoptera.org.uk/account.aspx?ID=8
- http://www.orthoptera.org.uk/account.aspx?ID=9
Plenty of other refs, eg:
- http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/species-of-the-day/evolution/meconema-meridionale/
- http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/species/oak-bush-cricket
If you find more green bush crickets, note:
- speckled bush cricket is another common one
- late-stage nymphs can add to the confusion (looking a bit different from the adults they become)
I think this must be a nymph of the Oak Bush Cricket. Meconema thalassinum as the other is described as flightless and I have seen these fly upto a metre and a half. I am saying its a nymph because there dosn't appear to be any obvious wings. The one in my photo is about 15mm long. Of course I could be wrong and have both in my garden!
As regard the 'nano moth' - well I never!!! I really didn't think that moths could get that small. I knew about small Hymenoptera - gall wasps etc which I have read about in an old copy of a Russian book by Malyshev - but not moths.
The book was recommended by staff of the NHM when as a teenager they invited me to come behind the scenes and talk to their experts on ants . They had just returned from an expedition in Angola and showed me around their camper/lab . It was a long time ago but I felt greatly honoured at the time. I still have the book.
Cheers again, Ray.
Well done for the ID.
Re your other posting (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/natureplus/message/33557#33557)...
Yes, moths can get really small - quite a challenge to photograph well.
The smallest british moth is the pigmy sorrel moth, Enteucha acetosae.
It has a wingspan of just 3 or 4mm, and is about 2mm long when resting!
It is also one of the smallest moths in the world.
Nice story. I know how that sort of thing can stick with you.
I'm sorry to say I think the "corrrect" answer is in this case incorrect. From the size of the ovipositor, this bush-cricket has to be either adult or a final instar nymph. If it were a nymph of the common Oak Bush-cricket it would have large roughly triangular wing pads, which are clearly not present here. Indeed, if you look carefully, you should be able to discern faintly just behind the two brownish marks on the pronotum the outline of two very small roughly oval, scale-like wings. This is typical of an adult Southern Oak Bush-cricket Meconema meridionale. It's very likely that both species occur together in the garden.
Many thanks Michael for your acute observation. I saw a male cricket last night in the same area but he was too lively to photograph.
In my original post I said that I thought that this cricket was negotiating a spiders web. I wonder if they are predatory on spiders? Next time I shall try to capture one with my net to photograph it more clearly before releasing it.
Yes there are both species in may garden. And I saw a male in broad daylight wandering around on the pavement in Fulham. Cannot ever recall seeing one of these as a youth so perhaps they are becoming more common.

Americans love their spinach. For many, adding spinach to a sandwich in addition to lettuce is a new treat.
Spinach, however, has been an adaptable and commonly used vegetable in the United States since the early 19th century.
It is enjoyed by many because of its versatility and ability to pack a lot of nutrients. Spinach can be served fresh in salads and sandwiches and used fresh, frozen or canned in soups, dips, smoothies and pasta dishes.

More than 600 youth from the Commonwealth of Kentucky attended Capitol Experience in Frankfort on Wednesday, March 23.
4-H members had the opportunity to tour the capitol and its grounds, attend legislative committee meetings, visit their representative and senator, and sit in on the Senate and House legislative sessions.
Henry County had middle and high school students and adults visit Frankfort during this event.
Upon first arriving, they toured the capitol and learned historical information about the building.
If you're interested in making sewing more than just a hobby, Cooperative Extension's Master Clothing Volunteer program might be right for you.
Recruitment for the Master Clothing Volunteer Class of 2016 is ongoing through the end of June.
A master volunteer is an individual who goes above and beyond the traditional volunteer role.
Master Clothing Volunteers have basic knowledge of sewing and garment construction skills. They are interested in receiving in-depth training in the subject and are dedicated to helping others learn their art.

Guys, I need help
Guys, I've been having some rather rough problems with myself and I hope that you can help make things easier for me.
1. My anti social problem
-I suffer from this second to one of them later on the list. I am not the best at starting conversations considering the possibility that the person won't know or care about what I talk about. If something like this happens, and the person I'm talking to can't start up a new conversation (I would prefer that), I feel separate and ignored, because of this I feel like I'm not even part of the conversation or just someone who sits and listens. Sometimes there are conversations involving other people and some of the stuff they talk about involve stuff I missed out on and I feel jealous because of it.
(Steven, I have only spoke with Darkprince once and was like "Hello" and "How is life going for you?" after that, I pretty much just ignored him)
2. Opinions controlling me
-I understand this problem is ridiculous (I understand we all have our opinion when it comes to stuff like shows, movies, games, etc.). This one has been a bit of a strain on me, whenever there is a franchise, (games, cartoons, some anime, even nostalgic stuff) there have been people who oppose this up to the point that they'd like to make whoever likes whatever starts hating on it. This has clouded my judgement over other stuff as well (While it's not as bad as it was many years ago) Whenever I hear someone of higher skill or I.Q, I sometimes feel like that person is right and I should oppose it (examples. cartoons, movies that me and or my family members enjoyed, games). Sometimes when I hear arguments from both sides, I feel like there are voices arguing and fighting in my head (example. Doug Walker with Looney Tunes Show, Adventure Time, some other shows that have conflicting forces with each other (people who appreciate whatever franchise vs haters), I don't know what side I should take and anxiety starts developing.
-I also understand that I shouldn't let people control what I write and draw and I should take it and suffer for my art, but I need some advice for that.
3. Me being stuck up and up tight
-I suffer from this the most, until I was 19, I was against stuff such as sexy women, certain types of music (techno, dance, rock, jazz), hating dark or evil fictional characters (these two were until I was 15, example. Raven and Yumi) I have this feeling in my head "if the person is evil in some cases and or gets killed off, just kill off the piece of garbage no matter what it looks like or what it does already so I can move on". (Examples. Julie, Raven, Nightmare Moon, King Sombra (his was started because of a dream I had), Misty (from My Life As A Teenage Robot), Rammy from Um Jammer Lammy, Stocking from PaSWG) (A more solid example of this was Julie, when I was 17, I hated her with a fiery, bloody passion and wanted to see her killed off in a most inhumane, vicious and or satisfying fashion whether it be from art or fanfiction)
-There was an opportunity for me to go to a Puffy concert that took place in Vancouver when I lived in Victoria back in 2005. I wasn't sure if they would let me go because of money and because it was a school night, and I didn't bother to even ask or mention it. Years later, I told them about it and they asked me why I didn't tell them and I told them I thought they would say no because it was too expensive and we didn't have enough money to do it.
4. I ramble when I write
If any of you are able to help me with these problems, I would really appreciate it.

Two Cousins, One Friendship
To honour my cousin, I have written this speech as a memorial to him.
Two Cousins, One Friendship
It all started back in the spring of May 1995 when a boy was brought from above to a family known as the Collin family. I first met him in the winter of the same year, it all started with an Ernie laugh. It was a sure sign of a bond alright beginning. A couple years pass and I'm at his house in Kingston for the night, at some point he begins pursuing me with a giant white balloon around the table in the living room constantly saying "Baah Booo Booom" thus both of us giving birth to the game "Baah Booo Booom". In the year of 2002, during Thanksgiving, I found Bradley upset since no one was able or wanted to play Go Fish with him. I asked him and he told me his case, in a heartbeat I came back into the room with a deck of cards and we played together to brighten up his evening.
In the summer of 2003 before we moved to British Columbia, we spent some time together at Aunt Maurine's house for most of the night. We came back to London in 2005 for the summer holiday, we spent an afternoon watching America's Funniest Videos on tape. In the December of 2006, we spent Christmas dinner together at the same table, paper crowns and all. When we moved back to Ontario in the summer of 2007, Bradley and Emma came over for a few nights, we watched Avatar The Last Airbender on DVD along with some of my recorded tapes I made starting from late 2003.
A year passes and Bradley comes to our house for August, as we spent some nights in the same room, our friendship grew even more with the help of two words. "BOB SAGET!" We would watching DVDs and videos together and I would wake him up at 4AM so we could watch America's Funniest Videos. When he went to go and spend some time with his grandmother, I volunteered to come with to spend some time with him. We swam in the pool, we hung out in the jacuzzi and had dinner together in the padio. A couple of weeks pass and I am brought to London with Aunt Mary and I spend a weekend at Bradley's home. Another year passes and we meet again at the Christmas party of 2009 at the grocery store near Uncle Robert's gas station.
When we moved in February 2010 on my 20th birthday, Bradley arrives and we spend some time together during my party. Throughout the year, Bradley visits and our friendship continues. On the first day of the New Year of 2011, Bradley spends Christmas dinner with us and we spend time together upstairs, a few days later, Bradley returns and spends a night with us. The last time I saw him was during my grandfather's birthday party. He expressed his artistic style and demonstrated his knowledge of the graffiti arts. May these memories shine on throughout the ages as a sign showing not only the world but also the universe that the bond between two cousins can prove to be more than just family.
Thank you.

A poor man borrowed money from the real estate fund to build accommodation. After he built it and lived in it, he had extra money available to him from the loan. After that he spent this extra money in doing business, and this man paid off bank instalments from what was available of this money. Does he have to pay zakaah on this money, and is this money regarded as belonging to him or to the state?.
This money is regarded as belonging to him and comes under the same ruling as the rest of his money. Zakaah is due on it if one full hijri year has passed since he took it from the bank, if it met the minimum threshold (nisaab) by itself or when added to whatever he had of other money and profits.
And Allaah is the source of strength, may Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions. End quote.
