in reply to Re^6: killing threads inside forks
in thread killing threads inside forks
Caution: I cannot test this because I don't have a real fork. But ... there are several problems with your code.
- You are only setting the signal handler in your threads after your thread function has completed:
my $t = threads->create (sub{ ## You run your thread function here &$functions_name(@parameters); ## And when it has completed -- if it ever does -- ## You set up a signal handler ... $SIG{KILL} = sub { print "\ngot to thread killer\n\n"; threads->exit(); }; print "\ngot to end of thread\n\n"; #$shutdown = 1; ## and then exit the thread. });
- You avoided the kernel wait problem by sleeping until the signal arrives:
sleep until $shutdown;
But sleep with no argument is the same as sleep 0; which means that your main thread is thrashing your cpu to death.
Update: Thanks to rjt for informing me that Perl implements sleep such that: "or forever if no EXPR."; thus my struck assertion above is wrong.
- When you do get a signal in your main thread, you then send a kill to all your threads, and then detach them:
if ($_ != $$){ $_->kill('KILL')->detach; }
And then you fall through to join them. Except you cannot join a detached thread.
- None of what you are doing makes any sense at because (from the threads pod):
Correspondingly, sending a signal to a thread does not disrupt the operation the thread is currently working on: The signal will be acted upon after the current operation has completed. For instance, if the thread is stuck on an I/O call, sending it a signal will not cause the I/O call to be interrupted such that the signal is acted up immediately.
- And finally:
Sending a signal to a terminated thread is ignored.
So, when you say:
this code actually works good when sending USR1 signal
You are wrong. It doesn't "work", it simply breaks your main thread out of the sleep loop. Nothing else.
The signals you think you are sending your threads are never arriving, because you don;t set up their signal handlers until just before they finish. But even if you correct that; those signals still won;t kill the threads -- because kill signals are ignored -- and if you send some other signal, they threads still won't see it until they've finished whatever they are doing.
Which might or might not ever happen; I've no way to tell because you keep posting dummy snippets instead of real code; and have still failed to describe what these threads are actually doing.
I said it earlier, and I'll say it again: signals and threads do not mix.
(The threads-signals stuff should never have been added to the api it is essentially useless!)
If you ever post the real code; and a proper description of what your code is actually doing; I might try to help you further; but for now ....

In this article, I would like to share the worth reading and useful information about the different ways of protecting the wine against four enemies along with the information about best wine cooler, according to wine cooler reviews. It is vital to mention that there are four amazing factors which, wine addicts whether gatherers or only regular consumers need be mindful about while selecting the different ways of storing their wine: vibration, light and humidity.
Thus, keeping this in this mind I would discuss that that why these factors are concerns & how to reduce their harmful effects in any case. Majority of the specialists agree that only temperature is extremely essential factor, which should be considered while storing wine. Usually, the perfect temperature is supposed to be approximately 55 F with slight variation of the degree or small amount of over time.
Moreover, in aging procedure of the wine, several multifarious chemical changes happen with the passage of time. Every reaction happens at a particular rate. It is vital to mention as with maximum biochemical reactions, heat only causes or speed up the different rates of all these reactions. Consequently, less than perfect temperatures alter a rate in which wine get matures.
- It is advisable to consider the required fluctuations those changes, which improve the flavor & aroma of wine, a reason people age it in first place. Once temperature is very high than perfect, than these fluctuations occur very fast than anticipated.
- It leads to wine hit the highest point in quality quite early than expected & decreasing afterward much fast as well. Besides, because of the complication of the interactions among these numerous reactions, they might be uncoordinated with one another, disturbing the set of scales in wine.
- Apart from effect of normal temperature, the fluctuation of the temperature must also be kept in mind. Once temperature of a bottle falls & rises, the stopper expands & contracts to some extent, releasing over time.
Furthermore, the most awful rise and fall are those, which occur every day, the more frequently the stopper expands & contracts, more it releases.
- This releasing leads to dripping of the wine out & air in, causing oxidation & objectionable tastes and aromas which oxidation causes. Moreover, the fluctuations of the temperature over the periods are not all about any problem nevertheless, they never occur frequently.
- Now an important question is how much change does temperature should make in rate of the aging of a wine. It is important to note that approximations are that rising the packing temperature to the room temperature upsurge the rate of aging somewhere between 3 & 9 times, probably on higher end.
- It translates into packing of the wine only at a room temperature nearly for three years being comparable to storing the wine at 56 degrees F for about 6 & 24 years. Obviously, it gets of poorer quality, due to warmer storage temperature.
- It is important to remember that storing or packing the wine in closed automobile on hot & sunny day might have same effects on wine as packing if for several years. In other words, cooked wine might result destroying it totally.
- As the total range of effect of the temperature on the wine wearing out is wide & difficult to guess such as how could people accurately compare the wine, which has been packed perfectly for about 22 years with an additional bottle of same group which had always aged after about 3 years?
- Thus, it is quite challenging to decide that when the wine has sickly looking & declined & to what degree. Apparently, people will not be willing to allow these harmful effects to destroy the overall quality of their high-quality wines.
- Another important concern is light while packing wine as ultraviolet light might break down particular compounds in wine, providing it unwanted off tastes & odors. Moreover, sunlight & to somehow lesser degree, fluorescent lights discharge significant ultraviolet light, thus the most upsetting light sources.
Besides, bright lights are not create much problem however, must still be restricted whenever possible. It is advisable to remember that darkness is considered as the perfect lighting condition while storing wine.
Furthermore, humidity is the concern because of a fact that very low moisture can always lead to desiccating of the outdated cork stoppers, allowing in air that lead to oxidation & evaporation of wine.
Certain amount of the evaporation of the wine is unavoidable while keeping wine for longer term however; comparatively high moisture in storage areas might lessen the problems. Extremely high humidity might lead to fungus on cork and label however, this truly more of the cosmetic problem than a warning to wine itself.
Lastly, vibration is frequently stated as a major concern while keeping wine as it might cause some sedimentation, which would lie in bottom of wine bottle to al-ways circulate while reacting with wine & offering it several off tastes.
Even though, it is the slightest problematic of 4 factors, it must still be well-thought-out & controlled whenever possible. Overall, it can be said that it is good to store the high quality wine in the dark, humid and cool place, where wine will not be disturbed. The ideal place for keeping wine is cellar or cave.
Moreover, a basement will serve the best purpose in case it is constantly humid, dark and cool. If people never have right of entry to true cellar and adequate basement, they might willing to spend in wine cooler which is a particular refrigerator for keeping wines.
My name is John Leonard E. I own a small business for wine cooler store. My business is small with 3 other employees but orders are going to increase day by day. In the future, I will plan to expand my business out of my state by opening more branches and improving online services. I have a great interest in pursuing wine cooler store since I was young. Business wine cooler shop is not easy at all. Through my blog you can find a wine cooler store that I have made which can prove for my above statement. Elitehomeappliances.com is a website for everything about wine making, wine cooling & wine storage. We provide honest and non-influential reviews on wine coolers, wine cellar cooling units, wine accessories etc. totally based on the specifications and offers available online. Main goal of this site is to provide the advantages and disadvantages of wine related products so that consumers like you can make a decision to buy the right product. Another goal is to help people making wine at home. We hope there will always be the first that comes to mind when you need to learn about the areas related to wine.

Plesse , don't let Brightwood die!
What can we do to change your mind to go on with Brightwood?! 💸
What happens after I played all relaunched older LE quests?
I put money and a lot of passion into the game and I don't like to see my village dieing! 💔
I'm sure I'm not the only one who is sad because of this.
Pleaase, I'm sure it's not a lack of ideas to close Brightwood. So, why don't you go on?
Beeflower wishes: Don't let my forest die! 🐝
1) That with a couple of exceptions, this is the only one of the 3 kiwi games I play that works almost flawlessly. (the exceptions are some large neighbors that cause me to crash when visiting and for some odd reason I can only scroll half way through my inventory and then the game crashes...I've emailed them, but nothing has come of it).
2) If this one is going away, why is it the only one with the monthly subscription...what will happen to that? Can we apply it to another game?
3) what about all the gold and axes we've paid for? Will be be able to transfer them to another game?
Kiwi didnt officially annouce that Brightwood is to " fall asleep"
W e just wondered some months ago that there were no new quests or LEs released.
Referring to my question in forum one admin confirmed what we assumed " there will be no further quests or new LE s ."
That only release old LE quests - that's all!
I'm very very very sad about it! 💔
I don't know what to do to make them change their mind.... 💲?
Who has an idea?
🐝 Beeflower🐝
That is very bad news... I think I just heard my heart break...
This was my FAVORITE of all games!! I started playing Shipwrecked just to fill my time while I waited for Kiwi to try and fix it... and over a year later no luck but I have it on my phone so I figured that was the whole problem. Finally broke down and got a tablet just for my games, etc... and now I hear it's not going to continue, just kind of linger...
What do we have to do??? If it does eventually fall asleep ( please noooooo!!) But if it does we should be able to have our items moved to another game at the very least... I will try to contact Kiwi and see what, if any, our options are... please if anybody hears anything, keep me posted too! And thank you Sylvia! If you hadn't posted that I would've had no idea!
I'm so sorry to be the deliverer of bad news! 👮
I was as sad as you are now when I found it out. 😭
It was always my favourite game, too. 👍
I don't know which level you are now, maybe you'll still have a lot of quests to do and you dont notice the lack of new quests so far.
I'm level 143 now.
Untill level 120 or so I played without any real money. With coins, a lot of patience, the caravan and the axegenerator I had had always enough axes to go on and to finish most of the LE quests, too.
Maybe that's what bothers Kiwi and that's why they want to finish Brightwood one day.💲
Concerning Shipwrecked or Westbound it is almost impossible to play the LE quests without real money for swords.
At the beginning I refused to put real money into those games - but when I got "addicted" it' became very frustrating .
So I changed my mind. 💶 But I have a limit.
I hope you still have a lot of to do and you ca enjoy your forest - at least for a while. 🎉
🐝 Beeflower🐝🐝
Second - The new LE's weren't released because there are many player who have still not completed all the existing LE quests. So in order to achieve that, we are repeating older LE quests so that everyone who missed these quests earlier, can now finish them.
Also, along with these old LE quests, we did add a few newer LE quests but it's obvious that new LE quests are way less in ratio when compared to the older LE quests.
To be honest, it's far from over in Brightwood Adventures.
I'm happy to read this - but it is obvious that you don't care every much for Brightwood anymore.
No new quests except the "vintage" LE quests.
No new decor, no new houses, no new buildings.....
And look at the announcement of "Lorddiscor's" Jackpot......after about 3-4 weeks of presenting you can be sure that we got it: Lorddiscor won 2302 gold 💰. Congrats! 🎂
Can you honestly assure me that this is not the beginning of the end?
I guess the shrinking attention of Kiwi is the fault of the caravan and the axegenerator!
These two items make it possible for players to come along without purchases - at least less purchases . 💸
You can't deny that !
It's a shame....... but money rules the world .......and Brightwood!
🐝🐝🐝 Beeflower🐝🐝🐝
🐻🐱🐺🐮🐘 Brightwood forever 🐺🐹🐄🐰🐻
I've noticed that you have mentioned an axe generator a few times. What on earth is that, and how do you get your hands on one of those? :)
I'm so sorry I didnt answer earlier!Actually I dont play Brightwood that much anymore. The axegenerator is an item you receive within the game about level 35. There you can change Gold into axes - AS far AS I remember it takes 10 Gold for 7 axes.
If you have enough money and patience you could play money for Gold in the caravan! My best score was 40 gold for a spin of 2000 coins. Phh BV vbbg
Zieu, I think it's about time to reply to posting below.
9 months is quite some time.
I'm getting quite nervous.

SSS Racking
With 350,000 pallet equivalents already installed in many locations across Australia, SSS Racking is quickly becoming the preferred option for many warehouses and distribution centres.
More recent SSS Racking installations
SSS Racking – Premium pallet racking materials
To ensure our customers can continue to access high quality pallet racking, we have developed our own range of materials that offer premium quality without the premium price tag.
Working with a leading global manufacturer in China, our SSS Racking has been engineered to stand the test of time in any warehouse environment. This expertly designed range does not compromise on the structural integrity of the product, and is available with realistic lead times.
Stronger and more robust
SSS Racking has been manufactured to contain more steel than some leading brands, which provides a more durable, long-term solution. Racking with less steel may support the static weight indicated, however will not guarantee performance under extra load caused by operator error – an unfortunate, but realistic issue that all businesses face.
SSS Beams are 50mm deep and tightly rolled together creating a higher tensile and stronger double layer of material on the top, bottom and the edges where it's needed. This additional layer helps to cope with any unintended load and gives you peace of mind out in the warehouse.
Ask us for an SSS product sample to compare with competitors.
AS4084-2012 Compliant.
SSS Racking has been tested and analysed in accordance with the requirements of Australian Standard AS4084 – 2012.
An independent Consulting Engineer in association with a reputable Australian University has conducted physical testing of SSS Racking components.The testing has enabled the establishment of loading data that is used to undertake customised rack designs that conform to AS4084-2012.
Not all pallet racking is created equal
Over the years, many manufacturers have cut costs by reducing the amount of steel in their pallet racking systems. This means some end up paying a high price for a lighter product.
These lighter weight racking systems may pass the Australian standards for static and live loads, however consideration must be given to the long-term lifespan of the product.
Any damaged materials will need to be replaced according to the manufacturers guidelines, which means that, over time, costs can be higher. Before purchasing any pallet racking systems, be sure to know what you're really paying for. It could help save on the cost of potentially avoidable repairs, and the subsequent downtime.
Why Choose New Pallet Racking?
Every business is unique, and there are often circumstances where brand new racking will offer better value and expediency for your project than pre-owned materials.
For example; you may have specific configuration requirements, the total number or type of frames and beams required for your project may not be available when you need them, you may just prefer new, or the materials may need modifications to meet your exact needs, adding unnecessary costs.
It's why we developed our very own range of Pallet Racking materials – to help you create the storage system that best fits your business, space and budget.

Peter, when 'yaw'ing the board around before the downloop, are you keeping the board / foil flat at the same height and just sort of twisting the board around with hips/ feet, or do you first drop the board closer to the water, then twist / yaw and push on the back foot to bring the board back to level at the same time, doing a sort of spiral turn in one motion?
OK, so bit of confusion here. I have no problem downlooping and carving to toeside on the foil to make a turn. But switching feet on foil after the turn back to heelside is still very iffy, and ends in touching down. I also have no problem switching feet before the turn, touching down and downlooping out of the turn. What i was asking about was how to switch feet before the turn without touching down. I find I lose speed and board drops down, so i put more weight on the back, but that often leads to a crash. I think maybe the 'yawing' will help to stay on the foil during the foot switch / downloop stage?Peter_Frank wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2017 8:20 pmjash999 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2017 6:21 pm

No no, way too complicated
The thing is, that ALL of us, will lack the ability to turn correctly when learning hydrofoiling, as we are used to surfboards, skateboards, snowboards, bikes - you name it, where it does not work the same way as on a foil.
The skilled ones will learn extremely fast and intuitively, as always.
But most of us mediocre or aged, will need a lot of "un-learning" our wrong motoric habits
When you have learned, you almost can not understand how it could be so difficult, as you JUST DO IT, without thinking, and you carve around leaning hard into the turn as when carving on a surfboard and it feels the same way
But this is not natural at first, in fact the opposite almost
There is only one single thing you need to focus on, and that is the yaw or twist or drive with your front foot and knee into the turn, that is all there is to it, and the rest will come easy and natural during this learning period, which can be quite long for some (just a fact, dont let it get to any of you...)
You should not put the foil down lower or higher or spiral or anything, just ride with the mast at medium height, and think about this "yaw" input you need to turn the hydrofoil - then the rest will follow as said.
Of course, you should not stand upright and do the yaw movement, nor should you lean over and expect the yaw to arrive - start learning to ride zig zag first doing very subtle carves just 20-30 degrees back and fourth, either with the kite parked, or flying the kite actively up and down - does not matter but is the important way to learn to control your foil in terms of yaw.
Then you should try to carve fully around, and think "yaw" as said, and just do it over and over again.
PS: I still advice not to downloop when learning.
I just browsed through my unused kitecam pics, and this one demonstrates how you can lean into the carve, it feels great
With less speed (as sometimes in lighter wind) you will not lean as much of course.
But when mastered, then a really good and fun move is to try to carve so fast and tight that you can drag your hand in the water on the inside of the turn
Think about the yaw, to learn to carve - and later you wont think about anything, you just do it and can change to other boards and the muscle memory skills will still be "intact" and change accordingly to the different boards.
Hope this helps.

Hi PeterPeter_Frank wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2017 4:31 pmA jibe (or gybe) is when you turn downwind to the other tack and switch feet too (no matter when you do this, going in or during or on the way out).
A carve is when you go from heel to toeside in a turn, or from toeside to heelside (usually when going back from toeside).
It makes things easier and less confusing when using the terms like that for something we all discuss often (carving and jibing), but unfortunately not everybody agree and wont use these conventions, thus the confusion will continue
A tack to toeside could also be described as a carve - but as this is not done or discussed as often, we might as well just use the full lenght sentences here.
Above just my recommendations of course, regarding how to make it easy on the forum

Titusville thumps Barracudas
Titusville visited New Smyrna Beach Sports Complex Stadium for a District 7-4A football game and host NSB was more than hospitable to its guest.
The Barracudas (0-4) handed the ball over twice on special teams and once on offense as Titusville (4-0) turned two of the turnovers into scores and rolled to a 38-13 victory.
The start of the game was delayed two hours by inclement weather and the victory got the Terriers off to their best start in more than a decade, while NSB saw its winless steak extended to four games.
Titusville running back Sherrod Brim rushed for 102 yards and five touchdowns on 20 carries, but the player that hurt NSB the most was quarterback Chris Joly, who passed for 204 yards and ran for 64 more.
Brim ran for scores of 21, 2, 3 and pair of 1-yard scores as the Terriers totaled up 466 yards of offense while limiting the Barracudas to just 165 yards.
Stevin Twiggs totaled 151 yards of offense and about the only thing the Terriers did wrong on the evening was total up 16 penalties for 145 yards.
NSB actually led 6-3 five minutes into the contest when Dantrelle Horne raced 68 yards for a score, but the turnover bug showed up for NSB and from there it was all Titusville.
Titusville opened the game with a 10-play, 55-yard drive that was culminated by 44-yard field goal by Chase Dornbusch with 8:23 left in the opening quarter.
Undaunted by the opening drive, NSB struck back just three plays later.
Horne took an inside trap and raced 68 yards for a score, staking the hosts to a 6-3 lead just five minutes into the contest.
Titusville then responded by driving to the NSB 7-yard line, but a mishandled ball by Titusville's Brim found the hands of NSB's Mike Klein, who accepted the turnover for the hosts.
Titusville then responded by driving to the NSB 7-yard line, but a mishandled ball by Titusville's Sharod Brim found the hands of NSB's Mike Klein, who accepted the turnover for the hosts.
Brim made up for things, however, on Titusville's nest offensive series as the Terriers took just 41 seconds to go 42 yards and Brim took in a 21-yard touchdown run at the end of the opening quarter.NSB's defense then came up with a big stop, but when Horne tried to field the ball just before it was blow dead he fumbled and Titusville accepted the turnover on the NSB 4.
On the next play Brim skirted in for a score, staking the visitors to a 17-6 lead with 7:10 left to play in the first half.
The hosts went three-and-out and Titusville battled countless penalties – one time facing a first-and-45 on the 25 – but came back with an 11-play drive that ended with Brim's third scoring run of the evening.
Brim's 3-yard score gave the visitors, who tallied 307 yards of offense in the first half, a 24-6 halftime. Despite 13 penalties for 110 yards in the first half, Titusville moved the ball without difficulty.
After gaining 94 yards in the opening quarter, NSB gained none in the second quarter.NSB fumbled the ball over on the first play of the second half and three plays later Brim ran in a 1-yard score.

When it comes to Christmas morning, our tradition is to slow things way down. We had to wait for everyone to be ready to go downstairs together. Which usually meant waiting for both my parents to shower and get dressed, which seemed to take ages! Then once we were downstairs, we could open our stockings, then have breakfast, and then (finally) go to see the tree in the front room and open the 'big' presents. As a child, the anticipation seemed unbearable, but it was also pure joy that lasted throughout the day.
We have a few special traditions. There is always a tangerine at the toe of the stocking, so once everyone is peeling their citrus, in front of the fireplace, you know it's time for the next step!
We also always have 'Chicken Pie' for breakfast. It's a recipe that has been in Patience's family for at least five generations! It's comfort food that can be served all day, many of our friends stop by for a bowlful, topped with a flakey pie crust in the shape of a heart or star.
Dinner is setting a special table pulling out the silver and the cranberry goblets and moving all the furniture to fit everyone around the table. We make a fish chowder that tastes even better the next day!
These moments are tied together with our traditions, which we can share with friends and family for years to come. We love to hear everyone's story the ways they spend their day, all the little things us all a little closer to one another.

As rough and tumble as Albany could be in the early to mid 19th century, some of the most notable crimes occurred out in the suburbs. One was the shocking poisoning of a young wife, Maria Van Dusen Hendrickson, by her philandering young husband, John Hendrickson, Jr. It was one of the earlier cases of forensic pathology used to prove a murder case in the United States.
In January, 1851, John Hendrickson Jr. married Maria Van Dusen, daughter of former county clerk Lawrence Van Dusen, "a most respectable citizen, and a man of unquestioned integrity;" he was said to have considerable wealth. Maria was 17, "well educated, accomplished, amiable, kind-hearted, affectionate." Hendrickson pursued Maria although her parents opposed marriage "on the ground that Hendrickson's character was bad, his conduct rowdyish, and that he had led a life of idleness, and was not, therefore, a fit companion for their daughter." They married anyway, and lived with the Van Dusens in Clarksville while occasionally visiting Hendrickson's father, who lived four miles away in Bethlehem.
That very summer, Hendrickson committed a "gross assault upon a respectable young lady in Clarksville." After a side trip to Schoharie County, where he made a promise of marriage that Maria found out about, he took off for Corning, NY (for reasons not revealed) and stayed there for about three months, until the end of 1851. While he was away, Maria gave birth. Shortly after his return, the six-week-old child was found dead in the bed "in a very singular manner, Hendrickson occupying the middle, the wife the back, and the child the front part of the bed." More than that is not explained.
"After the return of the prisoner from Corning, he communicated to his wife a loathsome disease, which he had contracted during his absence, and which was the original and only cause of the illness under which his wife ever labored, a disease of the womb, which, as a matter of course, was a source of not only great bodily affliction, but also of intense mortification and shame to her sensitive mind."
On discovery of this, Hendrickson was cast out of the house in January 1852 and moved to his father's, but the couple continued to visit each other from time to time. Maria's health improved (the precise disease she contracted is not explained). In January 1853, Hendrickson convinced Maria to visit his father's house two or three times, and then she went back there in February to stay for a period of time. She was expected to return to her mother's house on March 6, a Sunday, but for some reason she did not. That evening she went to church with the Hendrickson family and, after reading from the bible and a religious paper, retired to bed with her husband about 10 o'clock, in an attic bedroom they had only slept in for two or three nights – prior to that, they had slept in the same downstairs room as the two sisters of Hendrickson.
How the alarm was raised was not quite explained, but somewhere around 2 in the morning, Hendrickson was "halloing" and his sisters went up the stairs to find Maria non-responsive, but they were not of the belief that she was dead. None of the family thought to ask him what had happened. In his address to the jury, the district attorney, Andrew J. Colvin, said,
"Return we now to the deceased. We shall find the family engaged in using means for her revival, but to no effect. Neighbors were sent for, but not physician, although she was not supposed by them to be dead for a considerable time after they found her. And, gentlemen, it will be told you that there was no physician residing within three miles, and that for that reason they did not send for any . . . The prisoner follows the body, as of course he must, or instant accusation would have been the consequence, and a coroner and able physician and surgeon from the city follow in his wake on the same day; for, gentlemen, suspicious circumstances attend the event of her death, and the whole community is moved by the apprehension that a dark and shocking murder has been perpetrated."
Hendrickson apparently immediately embarked on a campaign of appearing as suspicious as possible. Actually, the campaign had started at least a week before. Hendrickson had been wandering around Albany, visiting pharmacies asking for prussic acid. "On Tuesday or Wednesday of the week preceding the death of his wife, the prisoner is found asking for prussic acid at Dr. Springsteed's. On Saturday he is seen going into another drug store, and some time during the same week, a person answering exactly to the general appearance, and dressed in a costume corresponding exactly with the ordinary apparel of the prisoner, buys of Mr. Burroughs, the druggist, an ounce of the tincture of aconite, the very kind of poison with which, it is charged in the indictment, the prisoner poisoned his wife."
Tincture of aconite was known for its potency and it difficulty of detection. So, while being held, and while a post mortem is being conducted, Hendrickson asked someone what the physicians and coroner were doing and what they had found. He was told they were taking out her stomach, and that it was not known that they had found anything. To that he responded, "One thing I know, they won't find arsenic." Well, yes, that's an innocent statement. Then he asked, "Suppose they put poison into her stomach yesterday, can it be known or ascertained?"
There is more, so much more, to show that Hendrickson was an all-around horrible human being, and that he may have tried to poison her once before. He claimed he got the venereal disease from a "fall on the railroad" while in Corning. He was caught passing a note to a prostitute. After his child's death, he was courting a woman he had previously been engaged to. He gambled and stole and fought with his wife. A week after the death of his wife, he was "seen in the county jail dancing negro breakdowns and other hilarious dances with all the vehemence in his power, and subsequently doing the same on the Sabbath as well as on week days."
The DA introduced evidence that she died by tincture of aconite, which created some particular effects revealed by autopsy, and which was found in her body. (You may know aconite as monkshood or wolf's bane.) The post mortem was conducted by the esteemed Dr. Swinburne. With a preponderance of evidence of the terrible character of the suspect and his own semi-incriminating behavior, the jury did not delay in finding Hendrickson guilty, guilty, guilty.
In pronouncing sentence upon Hendrickson, Judge Richard P. Marvin showed tremendous prescience:
"…I desire to impress, not only upon you, but upon all, the fact, that as science advances – as it unfolds to the student the great storehouse of knowledge, and lets man penetrate into the very arcana of nature – that as it advances, step by step, it enables its votaries to detect the most subtle poisons, and to trace the very footsteps of crime. Chemists are enabled now, through the wonderful developments of science – and science detects your crime – to detect almost all poisons, whether vegetable or metallic, to trace out cases of poisoning, (no matter what may be the character of the poison administered), with almost unerring certainty. And it is as dangerous to attempt murder with the most subtle vegetable poison, and as certain to be detected, as if the murder were committed with the dirk or the stiletto. Your case may have its moral effect upon community in this view of it. Community should understand that the crime of murder cannot be committed in this day of light, in any manner or by any means, without leaving the evidence of guilt; and this evidence always points out, unerringly, to the guilty individual."
The judge pronounced that on August 26th, 1853, Hendrickson was to be hung by the neck until he was dead. He was the first prisoner hanged in the new Maiden Lane jail.

Pre-orders for virtual reality HMD the Oculus Rift are now open!!
Coming in at $599 USD (Plus Shipping & Tax) the price has come as a shock to many who were expecting the consumer version Rift to retail at around $350 USD.
The Rift has been under development for a number of years now and throughout its development Oculus have been alluding the consumer Rift would be around the same cost as thier second developer kit (DK2) at $350 USD and would be sold at cost or at a loss by Oculus.
In a recent interview with Ben Lang from roadtovr.com Oculus founder Palmer Luckey even helped to reinforce the pricing misconception, when asked if the Rift price would come in around that $350 ballpark target Luckey responded with:
"You know, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. We're roughly in that ballpark"
This massive increase in the expected price has left a bad taste in the mouths of many in the VR community who voiced their disappointment via the Oculus subreddit. Oculus held a reddit AMA earlier today where Luckey apologized for the confusion and admitted they could have handled public cost expectations better.
"I handled the messaging poorly. Earlier last year, we started officially messaging that the Rift+Recommended spec PC would cost roughly $1500. That was around the time we committed to the path of prioritizing quality over cost, trying to make the best VR headset possible with current technology. Many outlets picked the story up as "Rift will cost $1500!", which was honestly a good thing - the vast majority of consumers (and even gamers!) don't have a PC anywhere close to the rec. spec, and many people were confused enough to think the Rift was a standalone device. For that vast majority of people, $1500 is the all-in cost of owning Rift. The biggest portion of their cost is the PC, not the Rift itself.
For gamers that already have high end GPUs, the equation is obviously different. In a September interview, during the Oculus Connect developer conference, I made the infamous "roughly in that $350 ballpark, but it will cost more than that" quote. As an explanation, not an excuse: during that time, many outlets were repeating the "Rift is $1500!" line, and I was frustrated by how many people thought that was the price of the headset itself. My answer was ill-prepared, and mentally, I was contrasting $349 with $1500, not our internal estimate that hovered close to $599 - that is why I said it was in roughly the same ballpark. Later on, I tried to get across that the Rift would cost more than many expected, in the past two weeks particularly. There are a lot of reasons we did not do a better job of prepping people who already have high end GPUs, legal, financial, competitive, and otherwise, but to be perfectly honest, our biggest failing was assuming we had been clear enough about setting expectations. Another problem is that people looked at the much less advanced technology in DK2 for $350 and assumed the consumer Rift would cost a similar amount, an assumption that myself (and Oculus) did not do a good job of fixing. I apologize."
Im sure the higher than expected price will have a major negative impact on early adoption rates of the Rift but I don't think it will stop the VR train from rolling on. We must remember this is first generation custom hardware and prices will drop in future versions. However I do fear that the high price may see the the CV1 Rift remain the playground of developers, hardcore tech nerds and VR enthusiasts.
I for one will not be cancelling my pre-order and can't wait to get my hands on CV1. Pre-orders are still open and if want to be in on the ground floor for the birth of VR head on over to shop.oculus.com and get your order in.

Apart from serving the tourists, the Helambu Sherpa are farmers. Their villages are in the lush foothills of the Himalayan mountains. However, because of the tourism industry, Western culture has influenced many of the Helambu Sherpa villages. Most of the Helambu Sherpa are Buddhists. Every home has a decorated corner set aside for their gods. High places are often areas of worship. There, flags with prayers written on them are hung in hopes that some god may hear their pleas.
To follow Jesus in a Buddhist culture is to risk losing family, friends and status.
Christians can easily befriend the Sherpas, who often serve as guides in the Himalayas.
Pray for the handful of Helambu Sherpa who know and follow Christ. Pray they will have nothing to do with the deeds of darkness, living as children of light.
Pray the gentle Sherpa people will learn the ways of the Good Shepherd, One who is also gentle.
"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns!'" Isaiah 52:7

They were top-break or double-action, chambered for the .476 Enfield cartridge which fired a 265 grain lead bullet, loaded with 18 grains of black powder.
Unlike most other top brake self-extracting revolvers, it was somewhat complicated to unload. It had a selective extraction/ejection system which was supposed to allow the user to eject spent cartridges, while retaining live rounds in the cylinder.
It had a hinged frame, and when the barrel was unlatched, the cylinder would move forward, operating the extraction system and allowing the spent cartridges to simply fall out. The idea was that the cylinder moved forward just far enough to permit fired cases to be completely extracted (and ejected by gravity), but not far enough to permit live cartridges from being removed in the same manner.
It required reloading one round at a time via a loading gate, much like the Colt Single Action Army.
Lack of stopping power, the cumbersome loading and a tendency for the action to foul or jam when extracting cartridges made the revolver unpopular and eventually it was replaced in 1889 by the .455 calibre Webley Mk I revolver.

Lee & Caroline's Wedding
The sun came out yesterday for Lee & Caroline's wedding and it stayed gorgeously bright.
I adore Brighton's register office. It does have an air of elegance with the red walls and off white panelling and cornices, and provides a stunning backdrop to show off the brides dress.
Brighton is a great place for photographs, but sometimes the best places are not necessarily within walking distance. We were lucky enough for the wedding car to whisk us off down to the Bandstand for a few pictures, which is what Caroline and Lee had requested and hoped for. It was noticeably windy, (but then its often windy down on the seafront!)
Lee & Caroline at Brighton Bandstand
Next stop was up to the reception, held in a quaint little hall beautifully decorated. On display was a most fantastic wedding cake. Described as naked sponge, it looked like a huge chocolate Victoria sponge oozing with cream and presented on tree truck slice, on it was romantically etched "Caz 4 Lee" in a heart. It all fitted in perfectly with a rather vintage, rustic country feel theme, with bunting, flowers in jam jars and twinkling tea lights.

Torch Academy proposes two new Nottingham free schools
An educational group that already runs two schools in Nottinghamshire is proposing to open two free schools in Nottingham.
Torch Academy Group is hoping to get approval from the government for secondary schools in West Bridgford and in the Sherwood area.
A consultation will take place with parents in the two areas.
The free schools, which would be funded directly by the government, would open in September 2014.
The schools, which would be independent of local authority, would have an enrolment of about 600 pupils each.
'More control'
Torch Academy already runs Toot Hill School in Bingham and the Meden School in Market Warsop.
About 120 year seven pupils would be admitted to each new free school each year.
Free schools are able to set teachers' pay and conditions and have more control over the curriculum.
There are 79 free schools in England with another 114 expected to open from 2013.
Torch spokesman John Tomasevic said: "Our proposals are designed to complement the existing secondary education infrastructure in the north and south of the city and provide parents with more choice when it comes to selecting secondary education for their children."
But the National Union of Teachers Deputy General Secretary, Kevin Courtney, said most parents wanted education to remain a public service and not to be hived off.
"We don't think there's any pent up sense of huge parental demand for free schools," he said.
A final decision on the current free school applications will be made by May 2013.

As a landlord you are liable to pay tax. Not paying can result in a penalty. There is tax to pay when you purchase a property, on any income earned and when you sell the property.
Stamp Duty
When you buy property, whether it is a flat, house, land or a lease, there is Stamp Duty Land Tax to pay. Stamp Duty is due if the property is worth over £125,000. This tax is charged as a percentage of the property's value.
Income Tax
Landlords must pay income tax on any profits from renting out property
· Your profit is calculated as your total rental income minus any 'allowable expenses'
· Allowable expenses are those which are essential costs paid by landlords, such as mortgage interest, landlord insurance, accounting and legal fees, maintenance, agent fees and advertising the property for rent.
If you rent out a furnished property, you can claim for the cost of 'wear and tear' or for renewing the furniture, but not both for the same property. The wear and tear allowance is a deduction valued at 10% of the annual net rent.
Allowable expenses do not include any work undertaken on the property that would increase its value, for example changing the kitchen or adding an extension. These are known as capital expenses, and can often be offset from any capital gains tax payable when you sell the property on.
Capital Gains Tax
When it comes to selling your rental property, you have to pay capital gains tax on any profit made from the sale. Each tax year you are allocated a tax-free allowance but after this, basic rate taxpayers must pay capital gains tax at a rate of 18% and those falling into the higher tax bracket pay at 28%.
There are methods to reduce your capital gains tax. Similarly to income tax, you are able to offset some expenses that are incurred while selling the property, such as solicitors' fees, estate agents fees, and stamp duty. There are a number of circumstances that could result in deductions in capital gains tax, for example you can claim tax relief if you have lived in the property at any time.
Landlords are normally required to complete a self assessment tax return in order to declare their rental income and capital gains or losses to the HMRC.
Family Homes are letting agents with offices in Sittingbourne and Faversham. We have been in business for over 25 years and are the leading and largest independent specialists in property lettings and management in the area. We are able to offer some advice to landlords regarding tax that might be liable to pay. Please contact us for further information about our landlord services.

"Crysis 3 is the final instalment in the popular Crysis series, which originally began on PC but later moved its way on to consoles. Well recognised for being a graphical juggernaut, the series has also come to be known for its fun, intuitive gameplay and unique Nanosuit powers, alongside a somewhat decent story to tie the package together. Does Crytek manage to continue this trend with Crysis 3 or is now finally the time for Crysis to power down? Read on to find out."
Good review man...I've been holding off on getting it, mostly because I haven't finished 2 yet, haha. But still, I may get it down the line.

Building New Banjos for an Old-Time World
Artisans building musical instruments and community
Banjo music possesses a unique power to evoke a bucolic, simpler past. The artisans who build banjos for old-time music stand at an unusual crossroads--asked to meet the modern musician�s needs while retaining the nostalgic qualities so fundamental to the banjo�s sound and mystique.
Richard Jones-Bamman ventures into workshops and old-time music communities to explore how banjo builders practice their art. His interviews and long-time personal immersion in the musical culture shed light on long-overlooked aspects of banjo making. What is the banjo builder�s role in the creation of a specific musical community? What techniques go into the styles of instruments they create? Jones-Bamman explores these questions and many others while sharing the ways an inescapable sense of the past undergirds the performance and enjoyment of old-time music. Along the way he reveals how antimodernism remains integral to the music�s appeal and its making. He also delves into the omission of African Americans--the originators of the banjo--from both the instrument�s popular history and the nostalgia engendered by the music, and the role contemporary banjo builders are playing to rectify this situation.
�The issues raised by Jones-Bamman and the information he provides to aid in their discussion have never been brought together in one volume. A significant addition to the literature.�--Bob Carlin, author of Banjo: An Illustrated History
�Completely unique in his focus on present-day banjo makers and the cultural significance of the banjo for builders and players today. Jones-Bamman shows us how the banjo taps deeply into conflicting ideas about modernity and the USA�s checkered past.�--Timothy J. Cooley, author of Surfing about Music

Carnival Cruise Lines Carnival Breeze Review
Carnival's newest and largest ship lays out an array of next-generation features, and delivers good value, too.
There's quite a variety of cabins on Carnival Breeze. Many of the differences are subtle, so you'll want to evaluate the options carefully during the booking process. For instance, Interior cabins comprise more than 35 percent of the sleeping arrangements. But there are six different types of inside units, ranging from "Upper/Lower" cabins (a pair of bunk beds), to accommodations with a porthole view, to Cloud 9 Spa cabins on decks 11-12 (you can read a review of our Cloud 9 Spa Interior aboard Carnival Sunshine here).
Next up are three different types of Ocean View cabins, including "deluxe" and obstructed view. We had what was a standard Balcony cabin, which describe below, but other options include the "Cove" Balcony (close to the waterline and with some of the view obstructed by the ship's exterior), Aft-View Extended Balcony, Cloud 9 Spa Balcony and Premium Vista Balcony cabins. There are also three types of Suites.
Unlike its competitors, Carnival doesn't provide cabin square footage on its website. We spent 25 minutes on hold trying to obtain square footage for our cabin from two different phone agents; the square footage they eventually provided matched our measurements once on board, exactly. But we feel prospective cruisers should be able to retrieve this information easily from Carnival's website, as is possible for the line's competitors. And given that, overall, Carnival's cabin sizes aren't as skimpy as some, they shouldn't have anything to hide.
Our Cabin: Balcony
For this cruise we opted for balcony accommodations. Our cabin was bright and appealing, in blue and pastel yellow tones—far cry from the dingy color schemes we've resided in aboard older Carnival ships. The cabin measured a reasonable 185 square feet (not including the balcony), providing adequate elbowroom for two. There were kids in two nearby rooms, and a soundtrack of giggles with door slamming percussion permeated our space. Because Carnival designs its cabin doors with vents, sound leakage from hallways is not unusual (a good reason for choosing a cabin located far from elevators and stairwells).
Fortunately, our mattress—two twins that could be combined into a king—found the happy medium between firm and soft, and proved quite comfortable, inducing us to slumber easily. The duvet was plumped with hypoallergenic down. Lamps were on either side of the bed and, though not bright, the light décor allowed the illumination to shine through. There was a six-foot couch, which could be opened as a bed for a third guest. The only place to sit other than the couch was a back-less chair at the small desk.
Storage was adequate for two, most of which was in three full-length closets, each 20 inches wide. One of these had our life jackets, and there was spare bedding (presumably for the pullout sofa). There were 26 clothes hangers, which is more than we've usually found in Carnival cabins. Additional storage was in drawers on either side of the desk, and luggage could be pushed under the beds.
We were told our balcony would be 35 square feet; ours actually measured 41.5 square feet. With two chairs and a small table, it wasn't big enough for sharing a meal, but it was a good space for hanging out, except for one problem: Not only did we have cigarette smoke drifting our way from neighboring cabins, but when the ship was in port smoke wafted up from the Promenade Deck immediately below. Sound from partiers at one of the noisier bars and the whirlpool tub was also audible, at times well into the evening.
Our bathroom was typically compact, but bright and clean, stocked with plush bathroom towels and Carnival's standard-issue bowl of sample-size products—shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste and moisturizer; there was also a wall-mounted dispenser of shampoo and body soap in the shower (the sample products were better). We liked having a makeup mirror, and a hair dryer was located in the desk, outside the bathroom. A pair of pool towels were also supplied.
Cabin Amenities
The basic amenities were all available—small safe, hair dryer, stocked minibar, pool towels, phone, ice bucket, and a pair of bathrobes. The bathroom had a bowl of complimentary goodies, such as shampoo and toothpaste samples. The air conditioning system was responsive—it chilled quickly when turned down, warmed quickly as well.
Our TV was a 24-inch ViewSonic which had interactive features, including about 70 movies available on-demand, for $10.99 each. There were some more esoteric titles as well as plenty of mainstream hits from the previous year or so. Oddly, the directory of titles listed all of them as "rated G"—that is, except for the five porn titles ("This Is Why I'm Hot" parts 1 and 2, etc.), which were priced $12.99 (parental controls were available).
Other Cabins
We did not stay in the rest of these cabins, but we have summaries here provided by Carnival Cruise Lines. Note that photos below have been provided by the cruise line and not our reviewer.
A comfortable stateroom retreat, where some rooms also feature pull-down beds—ideal for families. Stateroom amenities: Television; soft, comfortable, and cozy linens; hairdryer/bathrobes; 24-hour stateroom service; ample closet and drawer space.
Ocean View
Large windows offer excellent views of the ocean and sneak peeks of each destination. Stateroom amenities: Television; soft, comfortable, and cozy linens; hairdryer/bathrobes; 24-hour stateroom service; ample closet and drawer space.
A spacious room, that includes Priority check-in during embarkation. Stateroom amenities: Whirlpool bath; vanity dressing table; television; soft, comfortable, and cozy linens; hairdryer/bathrobes; 24-hour stateroom service; ample closet and drawer space.

The Department of Theatre Arts, School of Performing Arts, will from Thursday, March 12 to Saturday, March 14 present a performance of the award-wining play 'Vagina Monologues' at the Efua Sutherland Studio, University of Ghana, Legon.
Written by Eve Ensler and directed by Abdul Karim Hakib, the play describes the female experience and serves as an alternative educative platform, the play touches on issues that are normally considered very important but a taboo to talk about.
Although sensual in one form or another, 'Vagina Monologues' touches on the existence of the female and uses it as an avenue for empowerment. Indeed, the monologues that make up the play reflect on poignant ideas such as sexuality, cheating, hatred, rape, HIV/AIDS, maternal mortality, among others.
The programme is part of the V-Day 2015 campaign across the world. V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls. It is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalise the spirit of existing anti-violence organisations.
As such, it generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM), and sex slavery.
This year's play is anticipated to contribute substantially to the campaign to end violence against women in Ghana.
The performance is expected to be full of mystery, humour, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in experiences by women. The play received rave reviews and acclaim in several countries throughout the world with magnetic performances.
These include Zagreb (Croatia), Santa Barbara, Seattle, Oklahoma City, (USA), London (UK), Jerusalem (Israel), Cairo (Egypt), Cape Town (South Africa), Lagos (Nigeria) and the Ghanaian capital, Accra.
Ipas Ghana / Global Arts and Development Centre (GADEC) are sponsoring the performances.

Vardenafil is mass produced under the brand name of Levitra. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. It relaxes the penile muscles and induces good blood flow in the penis which helps in proper erection. These tablets may cause a variety of side effects in a male so one should always maintain proper guidelines for consuming this erectile dysfunction medication.
Let your doctor know your medical history before taking Levitra
The drug should always be used under proper guidelines and instructions from the doctor. As it may interact with other medications and can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure so you should always inform the doctor about the medicines that you are consuming before starting the consumption of this ED drug. It should also not be used while a person is on nitrate drugs as it may cause severe chest pain. In case if people hesitate to share their problems with the doctors they can switch to online doctors who are available in an online pharmacy 24/7.

You should inform your doctor if you have the following problems before being prescribed with the medication:
- Heart diseases or cardiovascular problems.
- Previous or genetic history of QT syndrome
- High blood pressure
- Epilepsy
- Diseases of liver or kidney
- History of blood diseases such as anaemia, leukaemia, and myeloma
- Haemophilia
- Gastric ulcers
- Inherited retinal problems
- Deformity of penis

Taking the drug decreases blood flow to the eye which may add to the sudden loss of vision. Vardenafil is also not recommended for people having coronary artery diseases or having the problems like diabetes and high cholesterol. These cautions must be kept in mind and should be informed by the physician.
Follow these guidelines for taking Levitra properly

- One should not consume more than a tablet in a single day. You should immediately contact your physician if the erection is painful or last for very long, as a longer erection can be harmful to you penis' health.
- The drug should be stored away from heat and light at room temperature.
- One should take the dosage only as prescribed. It is not a drug of daily usage. It is only used before sexual conjugation http://buzzpharmacy.net/ so one should not worry about missing a dose. If you have consumed an overdosage of the drug then it is best to call the doctor and ask for help.

Hi Parents and Children
Year 1: mat, wet, fin, how, mug, (CVC words) or, by, one, had, not, (High frequency words).
Year 2: Weight, metre, gram, cooperate, kilogram, don't, world, going, want, didn't
It's been a wonderful winter week and the students have been busy. Practices for the Winter Show are in full swing and everyone is learning their parts well getting ready for Wednesday. It promises to be a fun and entertaining evening. Please use the weekend to get the children's costumes ready for the rehearsal on Wednesday morning and contact Ms. You or Mr Kearney if you have any queries.
This week in English we practiced using capital letters for proper nouns. Some students staged a little play of "Little Red Riding Hood" from their guided reading books and wrote instructions for how to make a Thaumatrope. The children then followed up those instructions and made working Thaumatropes in IPC. We will continue to explore the history and science of toys next week. In Math the children had a lot of fun learning about measuring weight and metres in our measurement unit. We continued our IT learning by making folders on our computers and developing our mouse skills. In P.E the Year 1 / 2 students conducted a game of kick-baseball independently. Well done!
Enjoy the photos from this week, have a wonderful weekend and do keep warm.
Mr Kearney.

This article was also published in the October 2010 issue of "Silicon Chip", in the Serviceman's Log.
Back when I was in secondary school I saved all pocket money to purchase a CD player that would allow me to blast out Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd at the kind of volumes that would ensure my parents knew I was home. My choice of equipment: a Philips FW-380C mini hifi system.
Years past and the system went to university with me, where its auxiliary input made a great set of speakers for my computer. But somewhere along the way between then and now, the CD player stopped reading discs, and eventually it wouldn't even power on.
Last year I tried to offload it at a car boot sale for $40, but no one wanted a stereo system that I couldn't back with a working guarantee. Finally last weekend, whilst cleaning out the garage, I decided it was time to open it up and see if anything glaringly obvious stood out.
After removing several screws and disconnecting some cables, I could see an area on the main audio board that looked like it had been hit with an open flame! The fried components occupying this space included two resistors, four transistors, and a zener diode.
A little more searching, and I came across a large capacitor, 4700uf 35V, that looked as if it were glued to the PCB. I quickly realised the 'glue' was actually capacitor innards that were now outside of the capacitor.
A quick search through my very limited stock of components revealed I had a 4700uf 35V to replace the leaky one, but no resistors, transistors or a diode for the fried area of the audio board.
I decided I had nothing to lose – lets see what happens if I just replace the leaky capacitor. A quick once over with my soldering iron, and I was ready to power up. To my surprise, the CD carousel rotated around, and the system went into the store demo mode! It was alive again.
I switched to tuner mode, and tuned in the local radio station successfully. After some more tuning however, the system dropped out briefly, and went back to demo mode. Uh oh. I quickly tried the CD player, but for each of the three discs in the carousel the display said "No disc".
I powered down and made the trip to Jaycar for parts. Two BC547B and two BC337 transistors and a couple of resistors were easy finds, however the zener diode, labelled BZV55F was a different story. The best I could find was an 1N751A (400mW, 5.1V) – it would have to do.
I proceeded to replace the four transistors and two resistors before trying again. This time I had more success – no drop outs back to demo mode, however still no CD playing. I could see the disc try and spin, but only manage a wobble before displaying "No disc".
It had to be the zener, so it was next to be swapped. By now I was an expert at pulling the system apart and putting it back together, but even with the replacement zener diode, it was still displaying "No disc".
A quick google of "philips hifi no disc" and the obvious hit me right in the face – a dirty lens. A quick cotton tip clean later and sure enough, the CD player was back in business. Sometimes the simplest of things are the least obvious!
I even decided it was worth parting with $6 to purchase a pack of replacement drive belts for the cracked and broken cassette deck belts. I will probably never use the decks, but the satisfaction of bringing my childhood 'rock box' back to life – complete with cassette decks – made me do it. Good times.

A very beneficial article in English and Arabic audio here:
A very beneficial article in English and Arabic audio here:
The following excellent excerpt:
was translated from a brief lecture by Shaikh Saalih al Fawzaan which can be listened to from here:
A small yet excellent book put together by http://www.spubs.com which can be downloaded from this link:
This is a summary translation of an extract of Shaikh Abdullah Bukhari's speech in which he recounted a meeting between one of his teachers – The illustrious scholar from Mali Hammaad al Ansaree – rahimahullah – and the extremist, the terrorist, Osama ibn Ladin. Taken from:
(This recounting starts about halfway down the page)
I mention to you (what happened) in the year 1407 (1986 CE) after the Hijrah, that this one (Osama bin Ladin) came to our Shaikh, Shaikh Hammaad al-Ansaaree – rahimahullah at his house which was in the area which we know – the street of al-a'madah – the Shaikh's old house. And I was there in the library of the Shaikh with him along with some other people. So this one (ibn Ladin) entered and with him were two other people. He said, "O Shaikh! I want to speak."
Shaikh Hammaad said, "Who are you?"
He said, "I am Osama ibn Ladin"
The Shaikh didn't know him. He had no idea who he was.
Shaikh Hammaad said, "What do you want"
Ibn Ladin said, "I want to speak."
Shaikh Hammaad said, "Say what you like."
Ibn Ladin said, "O Shaikh! We read in the biographies of the Scholars that one would, for example, fight in the path of Allaah in this battle. And that he did this and that and he fought in the path of Allaah. So who is like this! Upon examination, this speech is false. This can not be said in the biography of every Imaam, right?
"This (fighting in the path of Allaah) was done by some of them, but not all of them….But we find nowadays that the Scholars do not even fire one bullet in the path of Allaah!"
Shaikh Hammaad didn't let him finish. He silenced him and said to him, "Who told you that?! Who told you that?! Every day we are firing numerous bullets: bullets of knowledge! Everyday we are firing numerous bullets: bullets of knowledge! So where are you getting this speech of yours (that the Scholars nowadays do not fight or do not fire bullets in the path of Allaah)?"
Of course, Ibn Ladin was unable to reply so he sought his permission to leave and then left.
The Scholars of Ahlus Sunnah are continually warning against extremism, terrorism, and terrorists. These are just a few of the more recent warning:
The statement of Shaikh Saalih Suhaymee, translated by Rasheed Barbee
Arabic/English audio
Shaykh Muhammad bin Rabee' – a Salafi scholar from the city of Madeenah, former professor at the Islamic University of Madeenah – made a brief comment regarding the Woolwich killing – he stated (see this tweet):
Islaam is free of this barbaric act. No [sound] intellect accepts this type of behaviour. This will do nothing but incite people who live in these lands to have hostility towards the Muslims. This man is either someone who adheres to the way of the Khawaarij (an extreme sect of renegades) or someone who is intoxicated by his emotions and is totally ignorant of the rulings of Islam. Islam is a religion of justice and fairness. This is nothing but a criminal act.
The statement of the Shaykh, "intoxicated by his emotions" is a nice characterization of these types of people in general because they are intoxicated by the evil misguided opinions and sentiments of ignorant pseudo-scholars such as Omar Bakri, Abu Qatada, Abu Hamzah and their likes. Indeed the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said about the Kharijites that they are "youthful of age, foolish of mind" and from the greatest of their traits is rank ignorance of Islam and its rulings. These people (and in particular their leaders who misguide them) are a scourge upon the Muslim nation and the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) informed that they will continuously appear in the Muslim nation until the Antichrist appears in the midst (see here). For this reason it is obligatory upon the Muslims to wage war against them, their leaders and figureheads, refute and demolish their beliefs, their evil ideas, their vile methodologies and to exonerate Islam from their falsehood, since cutting these people off is a desired affair in the Shari'ah of Islam (see this article).

The Champs-Élysées à la present. Lots of private art galleries in this wealthy shopping district.
The French Art of Revenge begins in a private art gallery on the Champs-Élysées, on a snowy evening like this one (portrayed by artist Antoine Blanchard). The novel is set in the present, but the appearance of the Champs-Élysées has changed very little since the 19th century.
