NEW YORK - It's really not so bad.
Sure, the stock market is down nearly 5 percent since May 21, the day before the Federal Reserve first said it could begin pulling back its economic stimulus.
Yet taking a step back, the selloff could ultimately represent nothing more than a hiccup. The market is in the midst of a bull run that began in March 2009, and it has endured sharper declines several times since the rally began. Every time, stocks have recovered.
Investors have reason to feel confident stocks can bounce back yet again. The economy is gradually improving and corporate earnings are setting records. Those factors drive stocks higher.
"It's just a bump along the road and these levels represent a buying opportunity," said Peter Cardillo, Chief Market Economist at Rockwell Global Capital. "By the end of the year we will be much higher."
The 4.6 percent selloff from the S&P 500's May 21 record close of 1,669.16 doesn't even qualify as a pullback - defined as a slump from peak to trough of 5 percent to 9 percent.
Since bottoming out at a low of 676.53 after the financial crisis, the S&P 500 index has climbed 135 percent. During that stretch it had six pullbacks and two corrections - losses of 10 percent or greater. The index has yet to slip into a bear market, a drop of 20 percent or more.
The first big wobble in the rally started April 23, 2010, when concerns about the European debt crisis unsettled investors. By July 2, the S&P 500 index had fallen 194.70 points, or 15.9 percent, to 1,022.58.
The next big interruption to the stock market's rise came a year later when the index fell by 245.79 points, or 18.3 percent, between July 22 and October 3, 2011. The catalyst was a tussle between U.S. lawmakers in Washington over extending the debt ceiling. The fight threatened to push the U.S. into default. Investors dumped stocks.
The most recent slump came in the run-up to the November presidential election, when investors worried about the threat of fiscal stalemate and the potential for political gridlock in Washington.
But once investors ultimately learned to live with the discord in Washington, the market resumed its upward surge, climbing almost without interruption to its most recent peak last month. Between Nov. 15 and May 21, the S&P 500 index gained 316 points, or 23 percent.
"If you look at the grand scale of where we've come this year, this really is a hiccup," said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at TD Ameritrade of last week's selloff.
Typically, a pullback in stocks lasts about one month from peak to trough, said Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, who has studied the S&P 500 going back to 1946. The stock market then takes about two months to recoup its losses. That suggests that a buy-and-hold strategy and a willingness to sit out rough patches favor long-term investors.
"History usually says that you're much better off buying than bailing," Stovall said.

Online Law Schools / Re: Do students at California Accredited school need to take baby bar?« on: November 20, 2011, 06:28:47 PM »
Just to clarify, it is NOT the ABA which is the monopoly. The US Department of Education is to blame as far as only permitting students at ABA schools to receive federal loans. As far as the practice of law, that is up to each state legislature and/or the highest court in the state. Many states have reciprocal agreements. If state A allows students from state B to practice, then vice versa. Unfortunately, there is only a handful of states that do this. Most say you must be ABA or from one of its own state accredited schools.

A while ago, I wrote about the desktop software I most frequently use. In that process, I differentiated between the software that resides primarily on my computer and those "programs" or services that are cloud or Internet based. This is becoming more and more of an artificial distinction. For example, I recently upgraded to Adobe CS6 programs. In the now distant past, I would have had purchased a physical disk and box, installed the software on my computer and purchased an "upgrade" box and disk to "upgrade" the software. I have used Adobe products since their creation and their predecessor programs like Aldus Pagemaker.
This time, I did not have a physical product. I had purchased Photoshop CS4 and then upgraded to Photoshop CS5 by downloading copies of the program from online. In the past, I would have been mildly hysterical about losing the software, but due to my registration with Adobe, I could download another copy any time and use my registration number to, in a sense, backup the program without having a physical disk.
So, now it was time to upgrade to CS6. I looked at the price of upgrading my two main programs, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign and that started a family discussion about how to do this. The reason is simple, upgrading the two programs would be hundreds of dollars. For example, right now, the best price I could find on CS6 Creative Suite upgrade (includes more than Photoshop and InDesign) is over $350. But it turned out to be much more complicated than that based on the dates and versions of our existing programs.
I won't go through all of the calculations we looked at, but suffice it to say, it was going to be a major expense. So we dilly-dallied around until we had a major computer crash. One factor in the decision was that some of our older versions of Adobe programs would not run on the new Apple OS X Lion operating system. But talking about upgrades in another subject, for another time. This problem was solved by Adobe's Creative Cloud program. We pay one price per month for downloading any or all of the major Adobe products. The cost of paying a monthly fee was less than the cost of upgrading all the products we use and need and we could get products we never dreamed we could afford.
Now, this explanation has a whole lot to do with my selection of programs that are cloud based. Even though they reside, in part, on my computer, I use them only with the Internet and not as "standalone" programs. Now, as you can see with my explanation of the Adobe products, this distinction is blurring considerably.
My number one program is very complicated. It is Google. Here is a list of the Google programs that I use exhaustively:
- Google Picasa
- Google Books
- Google Maps
- Google Translate
- Google Shopping
- Google Reader
- Gmail
- YouTube
- Google Images
- Google Drive
- Blogger
- Google Earth
- Google News
- Google Chrome
- Google Play
- Panoramio
- Google Calendar
- Google Talk
- Google+
- Google Reader
Now what is in second place?
Three programs are changing the way I do work on various computers. They are Dropbox, Google Drive (listed above) and Microsoft's Sky Drive. Each of these programs have some "free" storage space online. Since I move from computer to computer throughout the week, I can store commonly used files in the cloud and access the updated files from any computer or even my iPhone. This way of working has fundamentally changed my interaction with the computer.
I use some really sophisticated photo editing programs that I didn't mention in my last go around, but they are so narrowly used that I hesitate to mention them. If you need them, you will find them.
Listing the variety of websites I use online would be endless. But special mention has to go to FamilySearch's Family Tree. You will hear more about my online storage and genealogy programs in another post, as well as the Apps I use on my iPhone.

I have a very large table approx 28GB and that is continually increasing. I am thinking about partitioning my table.
The table is InnoDB and The File Per Table is enabled
I have a field name
created which is an integer field and stores the timestamp so I was thinking about creating the table like this:
ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME PARTITION BY RANGE (created)
PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN (1325356200) ENGINE = InnoDB, # Data before 2012
PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN (1333218600) ENGINE = InnoDB, # Data for JAN,FEB,MARCH YEAR 2012
PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN (1341081000) ENGINE = InnoDB, # NEXT THREE MONTH DATA FOR YEAR 2012
PARTITION p3 VALUES LESS THAN (1349029800) ENGINE = InnoDB, # NEXT THREE MONTH DATA FOR YEAR 2012
PARTITION p4 VALUES LESS THAN (1356978600) ENGINE = InnoDB, # NEXT THREE MONTH DATA FOR YEAR 2012
PARTITION p5 VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE # DATA for Next years
) ;
I have partitioned the year 2012 in Quarters(As it is our requirement) and will also do the same for year 2013 but not done here.
- Does partitioning boost INSERTs and SELECTs Performance
- How much time the ALTER take as it is a huge amount of Data(Any way to minimize the Alter time)?
- Do I need to use the field created in the queries so that the optimizer can use the partition?
- Are there any limitation's or risks by partioning this table?
- Is there any way to ALTER the table without downtime?

New York, New York: Knicks, Nets meet Monday
Send a link to a friend
[November 26, 2012]
(AP) -- From Madison Square Garden to the Garden State, the Knicks cast a shadow the Nets could never escape.
The Knicks were considered first rate and the Nets second class, even in years when the better team was in New Jersey. The Nets would watch fans in orange and blue take over their home games, believing all along things would be different when they finally got their shot at the Knicks in Brooklyn.
Well, here it comes.
The city rivals play the makeup of their postponed season opener on Monday, a matchup the Knicks insist is just another game but one that's probably much bigger to the Nets.
"I think obviously being on center stage tomorrow night, all eyes on Brooklyn, truly makes this a very special night for us because it's something that we worked for, for so long," Nets CEO Brett Yormark said Sunday. "Even though it's not opening night, it's a dramatic night. I mean, the Knicks are playing well, the Nets are playing well, Brooklyn's certainly embraced this franchise, and I think tomorrow night is hopefully the start of some really special nights between the Nets and the Knicks.
"Yeah, I'd love to win the game, but it's more than that. It's about making a statement that this franchise has arrived and we are certainly part of the conversation when people are talking about pro basketball in New York."
Yormark sought to host the Knicks for the Barclays Center opener and that's what the NBA scheduled, but the game was postponed when Superstorm Sandy halted most subway travel to Brooklyn. It becomes in some ways more intriguing now with both teams off to strong starts, the Knicks (9-3) leading the Atlantic Division by one game over the Nets (8-4).
First matchup, first place on the line. Sounds big enough for a regular-season game, just don't call it a rivalry. At least, not yet.
"I think that word's been thrown around. I think we hope that it does become that, but you know the Brooklyn Nets are apparently different than the New Jersey Nets and this is a new beginning," Knicks forward Steve Novak said. "So I think to call it a rivalry before it started is a little bit early, but I don't think there's any question it's going to be a good game."
Among the Knicks, only Carmelo Anthony, a Brooklyn native whom the Nets desperately tried to acquire to be the franchise centerpiece for their move, seemed to view the game as anything special. Jason Kidd, who led the Nets to their greatest NBA success back when they owned the Knicks but never the New York area, called it "just another game on the road."
"I've been saying consistently that a rivalry comes through playoffs and hard-fought games. It just doesn't come from a team moving and two good teams in one year. It has to go throughout history," Knicks center Tyson Chandler said. "Honestly, I don't buy too much into the whole situation, the rivalry. I don't consider it a rivalry. I don't think
-- it hasn't been enough. Honestly, I feel more animosity towards the Heat and the Celtics than I do the Nets."
But the Nets, even the ones who didn't endure the many miserable years in New Jersey, know what it means to the franchise and their fans, many of them new and some of them even Knicks fans who converted.
"It should be a hostile environment for them so to speak," Nets guard Joe Johnson said. "I think it will be fun. I think everybody has been waiting for this moment and we're going to come out and protect the home court."
[to top of second column]
Games in New Jersey, where the Nets played in multiple spots for 35 years after leaving Long Island, often felt like Madison Square Garden West. Knicks fans sometimes appeared to make up two-thirds of the crowds, Knicks players trying to hide their amusement and the Nets their frustration.
The Nets think they've got a much stronger fan base now, with about 11,000 season tickets sold, and they know they'll see a good balance of fans dressed in their black Monday night.
"There's definitely going to be some Knicks fans in there, but I don't think it will be as bad as it was last year and the year before that," Nets guard Deron Williams said.
The game will be televised on TNT and Yormark said some 100 media members are expected. The Nets, 6-1 in their $1 billion arena, may have to guard against being too hyped up
-- though that won't be a problem for at least one of them.
"You're talking to a person, this is my 11th year in the league. I've played the Knicks about 100 times. It's just another game to be honest with you," forward Reggie Evans said. "I think it's big for a lot of people on the outside, but we just approach the game like a regular game. If we win we're not going to be all in the middle of the court like
'Oh, oh!' We're not going to be popping no champagne."
Former Nets coach Lawrence Frank said the series always lacked the competitiveness to be a true rivalry, because the Knicks beat the Nets for so many years but then almost never did when Kidd was there from 2001-08. Now, he says, it could finally get there with both teams on a similar upward path.
"It's good for the metropolitan area when both teams are doing well, it just hasn't happened a whole lot when both teams were good at the same time. They've kind of taken turns," said Frank, now coaching Detroit. "Now that they're both highly competitive, I think it's good for the area."
Even the Knicks acknowledge the rapid rise of their rivals, Anthony saying he's watched their games and gotten goose bumps when fans chant "Brook-lyn! Brook-lyn!" They will get a good look at the Nets with the teams meeting three times over the next 3 1/2 weeks, twice in Brooklyn.
Perhaps those other ones will feel like regular games for everyone, as the Knicks say they are. For now, the first one isn't to the team that now shares their city.
"In an 82-game schedule, the way I look at it, every game's important, but there are those special games, you know what I mean?" Yormark said. "And tomorrow I think is one of those special games. It means a little bit more."

HARRISBURG - The Democratic sweep at the top of Pennsylvania's ballot has so energized the party that three prospective candidates are already sending out strong signals of interest in contesting Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's re-election bid two years from now.
York businessman Tom Wolf, Philadelphia millionaire Tom Knox and state government veteran John Hanger said in recent telephone interviews they are seriously considering seeking the 2014 Democratic nomination or have already decided to run.
Former U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, a retired Navy vice admiral who narrowly lost his 2010 bid for U.S. Senate, declined to be interviewed by telephone. In an email, he said he is 'very interested' in returning to public service but would not discuss his plans for 2014.
Several other Democrats did not rule out campaigns, including Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski, state Treasurer Rob McCord and retiring state Auditor General Jack Wagner.
The state's best-known Democrats - U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, who was re-elected this month, and former Gov. Ed Rendell - made clear that they do not intend to run.
'My focus has been and will continue to be the work I'm doing,' Casey said Wednesday. 'I'm very content in the Senate.'
Rendell, a regular guest on the TV talk-show circuit since he left office in 2011, said the state constitution bars him from running for governor again and that even if he could run, he wouldn't.
'I've been there, done that,' he said.
In the Nov. 6 election, Pennsylvania voters picked Democrats for president, U.S. Senate and all three of the statewide row offices.
Democratic interest in ousting Corbett has been fueled by factors that include his low job-approval rating - 40 percent in a Quinnipiac University poll released this month, up from a nadir of 35 percent in June - and public disenchantment over more than $1 billion in spending cuts for public schools and state-supported universities last year.
While Corbett, formerly the attorney general, has signed state budgets on time and kept his promise not to raise taxes, even some GOP leaders roll their eyes over his low-key public persona and his tendency to soft-pedal job-producing projects that he supported.
Corbett has two years to fine-tune his message and build a re-election campaign now in its earliest stages. He'll have the incumbent's fundraising advantage in a campaign that his top political adviser estimates will cost at least $25 million to $30 million.
'There's a long time in the political world between now and the 2014 election,' said the adviser, Brian Nutt, who predicts the campaign will hinge on jobs and other fiscal issues.
Corbett also will have history on his side. Every Pennsylvania governor since Milton Shapp was elected in 1970 has served two consecutive terms, with the two parties taking turns in the governorship every eight years.
Still, among many Democrats, optimism runs high.
'I believe I'm going to run right now,' said Knox, 71, a businessman who ran unsuccessfully for Philadelphia mayor in 2007 and abandoned a 2010 bid for governor before the primary. 'Circumstances happen that might change our mind, but at the present time I'm fully committed.'
Wolf, 63, served nearly two years as Rendell's revenue secretary and has contributed generously to Democratic candidates over the years. He said his decision on whether to run ultimately will hinge on the financial condition of the building-products company he heads and that his ancestors launched six generations ago.
'I'm not only not ruling it out, I would love to do this,' said Wolf, who considered running in 2010 but decided it would interfere with his business responsibilities.
Hanger, 55, a Harrisburg lawyer, said he hopes to make a decision on a run within the next few weeks and is meeting with potential backers.
Hanger served on the state Public Utility Commission for five years in the 1990s and headed the Department of Environmental Protection under Rendell for nearly three years. He also was the founding president of the environmental group PennFuture.
'I'm as strongly interested as you can be,' he said. 'There's a lot of folks who agree that I am prepared to be governor.'
Among those who are keeping their options open, Pawlowski said he is seriously considering a bid for governor in 2014, but winning a third term as Allentown's mayor next year is his priority for now.
McCord, a former venture capitalist from the Philadelphia suburbs who was re-elected as state treasurer this month, said the 2014 election was 'not my focus right now' but did not rule out a campaign.
Wagner, who is winding up an eight-year tenure as state auditor general, said he is not ruling out another gubernatorial bid but that he is concentrating more on a possible campaign for Pittsburgh mayor next year. Wagner ran for governor in 2010 but came in second in a four-way Democratic primary.

New research depicts William Shakespeare as a grain hoarder, moneylender and tax dodger who became a wealthy businessman during a time of famine.
Academics from Aberystwyth University in Wales combed through historical archives to uncover details of the playwright's parallel life as a merchant and property owner whose practices sometimes brought him into conflict with the law.
He was pursued by authorities for tax evasion, and in 1598 he was prosecuted for hoarding grain during a time of shortage.
The academics argue that we cannot fully understand Shakespeare unless we study his business-savvy side and the era of hunger in which he lived.
Researcher Jayne Archer said on March 31 that those aspects are overlooked because many people "cannot countenance the idea of a creative genius also being motivated by self-interest."(AP)

Per a Jon Heyman report the Cubs have signed Dontrelle Willis to a minor league deal. Yes, THAT Dontrelle Willis, per Heyman, Willis will be participating in Minor League camp, but if he is throwing the ball well he will get a shot in the Major League camp. Another no lose situation here for the Cubs, Willis, who is only 31 might have some innings left in that arm, the only issue is finding the plate physically and mentally. Needless to say it's another intriguing story heading into 2013.
Thanks for reading,
– George

text: Like the title suggests I am getting ready to be taint deep in a Sportster Scramster project. Parts are piling up, bank accounts are getting drained and my meager skills will be put to the test as well as scrutinized by the ADVR public. A little info about the bike... Two years ago my dad decided that he would do a 70th birthday bucket list solo ride from his home in Homer AK to my home in south Florida. He loaded up his 2000 Sportster 1200 and rode that damn thing for roughly one month straight covering 7200 miles. At the end of the trip he stashed the bike with my aunt. A year later he came for a visit and we went for a week long ride together. Some details of those rides can be found here. At the end of his last visit he asked me if I would be interested in taking possession of his bike. I jumped at the opportunity because 1) I LOVE Sportsters and 2) This particular bike means a lot to me because of the story behind it. The one stipulation he put on the deal was that I do something cool with it. I said "I already have an idea of what I want to build." He and I have always loved custom bikes...bobbers, choppers, cafe builds, rat bikes, you name it! For this bike build non of that would do, it has to be some type of dual sport. Drawing inspiration from the many great builds on this site ( JimmyTheHog, John Wesley, Doug, all come to mind ) I knew what direction to head with one little bit of a switchup. I want a classically styled bike that looks like I rode it right out of the 70's. Besides, with my limited budget and even more limited skill, the feat would be easier to accomplish than some of the more costly and modern options. Now for a couple of before picks to get this thread started..... That's it...The blue one. On it's way down from AK. And as it currently sits. Piles of parts and a goal without much of a plan for the point A to point B.... Wish me luck,I'm going to need it!!!

I'm an atheist. I believe in reproductive rights for women. I believe a woman should be able to abort a pregnancy no questions asked. Why should I have to also believe the nonsense that "life begins at birth"? It seems to me that a human being is created as soon as a sperm fertilizes an egg. The DNA of a human being exists from that point onward. Are we so under the thumbs of the religious right that we can't say, "Yeah, life begins at conception. So what? The woman still has control."?
Views: 2455
I agree on the rights things. I just don't think we need to deny a rather obvious scientific fact in order to give women reproductive rights. Is an alligator a member of the alligator species only when it jailbreaks its shell?
I don't know any person that seriously argues that human embryos are not human. At least, no one of any note.
An embryo certainly is human in that it has a full set of human DNA. But then, so do the drops of blood that seep out when I cut myself.
Sentience is the key point in my mind.
I couldn't agree more, evil twin.
The difference is that one is an organism (the embryo) and the other is merely a body part. A HUMAN body part.
I agree with Matt.
As long as it's attached to the womb of someone, and is not viable outside it's environment inside someone else's body, it's not a person yet. A woman should have the right to decide whether or not she wants to be pregnant. (Note how the UN human rights declarations have never said anything about 1) the right to decide whether one has sex. Hello consensual sex... and 2) whether or not one breeds).
That said, a man should have the option to not be forced to pay child support when a woman oopses him. And I think DNA testing should be mandatory also for married couples before assuming the paternity of anyone.
I also agree with Matt here. When a child's life is viable outside of the womb is my concept of when life begins, however I would never impose that belief upon any woman. I didn't do it when a girlfriend told me twenty years ago that she was pregnant and that she could not conscionably go through with the pregnancy and raise a child at that time in her life. We were no longer together when she informed me and neither of us was in any position to support a new life. Regardless of the regrets we might feel today, it was the right decision. It was her decision.
Life is a continuum that began billions of years ago.
Or as Sagan would say, "Billions and billions of years ago"
With Sagan cadence and enunciation!
If life begins before the fertilized egg is attached to the womb and still in the fallopian tube, wouldn't that make their God a killer? How many times is an egg fertilized but doesn't attach itself to the womb wall? Based on their logic, isn't their God killing babies? The whole thing is stupid. There isn't even a heartbeat much less a person.

Pro-Russian Rebel Commander Says Passengers on MH17 Were Long Dead
Igor Girkin, the Russian separatists' top commander in eastern Ukraine, suggested today that Ukrainian authorities somehow killed the passengers on Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 before it was shot down. He told the pro-rebel website Russkaya Vesna that "a significant number of the bodies weren't fresh" at the crash site.
Girkin, who says he got his information from people at the crash site, also noted that the bodies were "drained of blood and reeked of decomposition." Girkin says he can't verify his information — of course — but notes that "Ukrainian authorities are capable of any baseness."
Girkin's aide offered other misinformation this morning, claiming the rebels had recovered eight of 12 black boxes at the crash site. Rebel leader Aleksander Borodai later contradicted him. (Planes typically only have two black boxes.)

Huzur gave a discourse on the aspect of gentleness and forbearance in the teachings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).
Each Ahmadi should always have the purpose of the advent of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) at the forefront of their minds because it is a great source of reformation and indeed is the reason why each Ahmadi takes the pledge of allegiance (bai'at) and is what makes him/her distinct from others.
The purpose of the advent of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) was to bring man close to God, to raise the standard of man's righteousness so that he/she can imbue the attributes of Allah. These indeed are the aspects that take man out of the dark pit/water-well, out of which our fathers and grandfathers had emerged by accepting the Messiah.
The teachings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) are not new, rather they are the same that the Qur'an expounds and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) elucidated and indeed set a supremely excellent model of, as Allah states in the Qur'an: 'And thou dost surely possess high moral excellences.' (68:5). The Qur'an also states 'And among others from among them who have not yet joined them' (62:4) and thus confirms that the Mahdi's advent will take place who will be a perfect representation of his master Prophet's blessed model.
In reality the time till the Day of Judgement is going to be the era of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and one takes the bai'at of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) with the commandment of the Holy Prophet. A believer takes the bai'at in order to renew the pledge to most sincerely implement and practice the great teaching and blessed model which, had been forgotten with the passing of time. By taking the pledge on the hand of the Messiah (on whom be peace) we promise to practice piety to the very best of our capabilities.
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said he was sent so that with forbearance, gentleness and good morals, he would pull the long lost people towards the light that he had been given. Huzur said pulling one out of a pit/water-well takes endeavour and entails putting oneself in pain in order to remove the pain of the one who is stuck in the depth. Pulling one to guidance makes demands on the 'helper'.
Explaining the process of spiritual development which begins with the 'pulling' towards guidance Huzur said it is like providing light on the path that leads to Allah. A path which has illimitable stages, one stage leads to another and after one reaches one stage the desire and passion to move onto the next stage intensifies. The light of guidance is a permanent light which once one has reached one stage illuminates the way to the next stage and so on and so forth. It is a constant endeavour for the one who guides and for the one who is guided.
The most important obligation of an Ahmadi is to make an attempt to walk this path of guidance in fulfilment of one's bai'at and also to spread this message to one's country people and those close to one. The modus operandi for this is to adopt gentleness, good morals and forbearance as the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) has made it very clear that the purpose of his advent is not to get the message across with force. Indeed, the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) set an excellent example of gentleness and forbearance in his family, his friends, his close associates and others, including the opponents and this alone is the way to win over hearts.
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said not to be harsh, rather be gentle and to substantiate this mission with one's piety.
Huzur said some people may present a forbearing, gentle side to the world outside but the atmosphere of their homes is contradictory. In this instance this can have an adverse effect on someone who is being done Tabligh by such a person and their actions would leave the person, who has not yet found guidance, in the lurch.
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) enjoined to inculcate righteousness and to treat the matter of another who needed guidance in the same manner as one would treat one's own son who did wickedness by counselling and advising him in private. He said a person whose manners and morals are not good has arrogance and thus the state of the faith/belief of such a person was perilous.
Huzur said he receives some letters each day which signify that there is a dearth of gentleness and patience in dealing with each other. Huzur said the time when the Promised Messiah made these admonitions there would have been just a handful of people in need of such counsel; however, with the Community expanding some ills also increase. Huzur said the administration of the Community tries but how much reformation can it carry out. Reformation is done by the self. As the Promised Messiah said the faith of one whose manners and morals are not good is in a perilous state. Indeed an Ahmadi would be petrified by this statement, indeed, should be petrified. Huzur said he has analysed the situation and realises that most conflicts stem from a lack of gentleness and due to arrogance. If the Islahi Committee of the administration of the Community cannot solve these matters they are passed onto the Qadha Board and if after this one party still does not comply then reluctantly they are ex-communicated from the Community. Huzur said some Waqf e Nau children have quarrelsome parents and their situation is reviewed because if that is the state of the parents how can they bring up the children properly.
Huzur said those who tend to get easily enraged also need to stop and think and reflect. Rather then beg forgiveness later on they should try and control their tempers when required. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that gentle and mild speech is in human nature as a child exhibits this before it learns the ways of the world. Gentility is inherent in humans. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) further elaborated the subject by citing verses 12 and 13 of Surah Al Hujurat (49:12-14). Explaining Huzur said in order to inculcate gentility good things should be said to others so that one infuses piety oneself because double-standard do not result in good outcome. Then, other people's emotions and sentiments should be cared for and one should not get embroiled in self-absorption. Name-calling should be avoided as it is hurtful, thinking ill of others should also be shunned as it creates splits in mutual relationship. Needless suspicion not only ruins one's own morals but also destroys social peace.
Huzur said a believer claims to be among those who adopt Divine attributes, thus espousing ills rather than gentility and deriding people rather than reforming them is not congruous attitude.
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said those who indulge in name-calling, do not cover the faults of others, think and talk ill of others behind their backs incur Allah's wrath in same measure as those who are rebellious and seditious. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) enjoined not to chase matters (with ill intent) which one does not have full knowledge of as each part of the human body will be held accountable for the wrong it has done in this world. He said something that one does not have definite knowledge of should not be entertained. With regards haughtiness of temper the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said one who flares into a temper cannot say anything of wisdom and discernment. Fury is half madness and if it exceeds it turns into full blown madness.
In his book Kishti Nuh (Our Teaching) the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) says:
'Never unduly assert yourself with pride over others, even those who are placed under you. Never use abusive language for anyone, even though he abuses you. Be humble in spirit, kind and gentle and forgiving, sympathetic towards all and wishing them well, so that you should be accepted. There are many who pretend to be kind, gentle and forgiving but inside they are wolves; there are many on the outside they look pure, but in their hearts they are serpents. You cannot be accepted in the presence of the Lord unless you are pure, both on the outside and inside. If you are big have mercy for those who are small – not contempt; if you are wise and well versed in learning serve the ignorant with words of wisdom; never desire to bring disgrace on their ignorance by trying to show-off your own learning. If you are rich, instead of treating them with self-centred disdainful pride, you should serve the poor. Beware of the paths of destruction. Fear the Lord, be righteous…' (Translation taken from Our Teaching p. 3)
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) also said that God covers faults of people until one exceeds all limit. It is man who wrongs himself in his ignorance of Divine forbearance and exceeds limits. It is only at this stage that God's chastisement comes into action.
Huzur said the references he has cited in today's sermon draw one's attention towards forbearance and kindness so that we may reflect over them, try and understand them and adopt them. It is not sufficient to be an Ahmadi or to be the progeny of the companions of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). We will only honour the dues of our bai'at when we endeavour and reform ourselves and develop in spirituality. Huzur said many events are planned and have indeed commenced worldwide in terms of the Khilafat Centenary this year. Holding events and making excellent arrangements are not our objectives, rather, it is prayer and good deeds and these are indeed are the two aspects [belief and good works] that Allah has made the beneficence of Khilafat conditional to, rather than who holds the best musha'ira (poetry reading/recital) or who plans the best programmes.
Huzur said the books of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) are a tremendous source of attainting this objective. These books elucidate all the aspects of righteousness and piety most extensively. The books are in Urdu, very few have been translated and even those who know Urdu language pay little attention. That is why, Huzur said, it was his greater objective, apart from guidance, to include extracts from the Promised Messiah's writings in his sermons to take the message to people in his words. Although translations of his books are few, the task is being carried out most expediently and with great fervour by respected Ch Muhammad Ali sahib in Rabwah. His zeal is astonishing, many young people have written to Huzur that Ch. Sahib has infused the spirit of Waqf (dedication) in them. Huzur said prayers should be made for this task, he said he had mentioned this incidentally.
Huzur said when he cites extracts from the writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) in his sermons they get translated in various languages. Although this translation is not up to standard, indeed cannot be up to standard, however, it serves the purpose of his words reaching people to some extent. May we seek beneficence of the beautiful teaching of Allah and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) through the writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). This alone is the purpose of the bai'at and is the objective of being an Ahmadi, may Allah enable us to attain it.
The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined on the believer. According to a Saying of Muhammad(sa) this congregational prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship performed alone. (Bukhari)
"O ye who believe! When the call is made for Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all business. That is best for you, if you only knew." more
"… (He who) offers the Prayers and listens quitely when the Imam stands up for sermon, will have his sins forgiven between that Friday and the next" (Bukhari)

Do you knit? Are you crafty? There was a brief hipster resurgence in the venerable pastime of knitting, and that is cool, but me, I am a sewer. Knitters and sewers are like mods and rockers. Opposing but similar. Together but divided. I think I would like to knit, but there's something so noble about sewing, about being able to alter your own garments, tailor your life to fit you. Knitting is for those who want sweaters and socks and scarves and hats. I am cold, but I am cold inside. Wool isn't going to help. And I want things that aren't necessarily going to warm me. I'm not a homey individual. I don't want to knit by the fire. I am more the sweatshop type.
The roar of my old Singer sounds dangerous and I get high from putting my lead foot down on the pedal and finishing seams as fast as I fucking can. When I am sewing, endorphins course through me and if I run my needle over my hand I can't even feel it. I only know that I did it from the blood on my fabric, which is painful enough. In general, I steered clear of white and stayed with reds and blacks which didn't show the stains as clearly.
There's sewing forums online, where people, almost all women, would talk about being unable to sleep and eat because they wanted to sew so badly. I know this feeling. I know that insanity of sitting down at the machine just for a minute and then looking up and suddenly its 12 hours later. I would sew all day and then finally collapse in exhaustion and then dream about sewing all night and wake up tired like I had never stopped.
There was something about it that I couldn't explain and I couldn't understand. I wanted to do it beyond reason and logic and physical limitation, and my passion for it was stronger than any desire I have ever had for a man. The crisp, almost imperceptible bite of my rotary cutter as it would slice through a pristine yard of raw silk felt like sweet resistance and relief, like popping a needle into my vein. It hurt but it was good. It hurt but I needed it. I love sewing. I love everything about it.
I love fabric and I love thread. I love patterns and I love buttons. I don't love buttonholes, but that's because I am not great at them. I'd be better if I had a serger and an embroidery machine, but that's the hard stuff. I don't want more than I can handle right now, and I want somewhere to go, something to grow into. I like knowing that there is more to know, and the eventuality of what I will be, what I can be – that is what I look forward to.
Sewing is so enjoyable that I have to give it up. I want it too badly. It takes up too much time. There's nothing I would rather be doing and that is dangerous because there is a lot I need to be doing. The only thing that comes close to sewing is writing, and that, even though I love it, is just a shadow of what I feel for the fiber arts. Also, I am way too allergic to even consider being around all the dust that sewing creates. When I was in the throes of my obsession, I could barely breathe. All my bolts of midnight black silk charmeuse and eyes wide bright crimson paisley suffocated me. My cabinets were filled with batting and I was batty from the lack of oxygen and space.
My back ached and my eyes were bloodshot and I gave away my two suped up sewing machines with all their specialty feet and countless stitch options and I shook visibly as these treasures were boxed and removed from my home. my lavish and glittery embellishments, collected from places as far off as Tibet and new delhi and even the Pasadena flea market went with the machines. My heart broke as the fragile stretch fishnet, heavily studded with Swarovski crystals, three extremely expensive yards of which I had procured on a very special pilgrimage to Britex Fabrics in San Francisco, the legendary mecca of textiles, where my mother would take me as a little girl to gasp and swoon at the brocades and trims we could never afford – and which now I can, so I am buying them for my mom and for me – was torn from my hands.
I gave sewing up. I had to. I want to do it too much. Way too much. It scares me how much I want to do it. So I am not sewing. It's hard but I have to stop. It's just for now. I will do it again. I can feel it in my hands.


text: Staff on May 3, 2012 0 Comments I've already talked about many of the reasons the EdgeStar CMF151L medical freezer is great for commercial use in my first post on the unit, and now I have an exciting update. Florida has recently passed a bill aimed at allowing Floridians to receive vaccinations for Shingles and pneumonia. This bill is being called the "Access to Vaccines" bill and has ramped up demand for vaccines to be stored in Florida pharmacies. Read more about this breaking news in the pharmaceutical world here. To house these vaccines for periods of time, a medical/vaccine freezer is needed. That is where Living Direct, with the help from EdgeStar comes in to play. Leading pharmacies are gearing up to administer these vaccines and have called upon Living Direct to provide them with these specialized freezers, which get down to the critical temperature of -20°C. If you work for a pharmacy that offers or will be offering these vaccines, we would love to work with you on providing the proper storage. — Ryan is the head of Business Sales for Living Direct.

|Wagon crossing a drift
On Christmas Eve 1865, Sidney Turner, a pioneer of the Natal South Coast and Pondoland, wrote from the Lower Umzimkulu Drift:
I should have gone up to the Umzinto till Christmas, but am expecting the Governor and suite to be here every day … They were to cross the Upper Drift and to come back to Durban (120 miles away) by the lower road, it will be an event if they do …
December 25th, Evening, 9 o'clock
I hope you have been enjoying your plum pudding and cattle-plagued beef just at the same time that I was eating a hot fowl, sweet potatoes, French beans and cabbages, with a dessert of peaches, granadillas, pineapples and cucumber. I have some beauties in my garden. It was three o'clock when my dinner began, one o'clock with you. I drank all your healths in a glass of rum and water, in spite of my teetotal pledge, as that isn't to be expected to be kept when I have to wish a merry Christmas and happy New Year to those 10, 000 miles away.
I have had lots of swimming today, while perhaps you have been skating. I should like to try to swim from Dover to Calais if ever I get Home.In a letter to his parents at New Year Sidney remarked that he had thought about them all on Christmas Day. ' … It was the day before that on which I shot the lion, and I had forty miles to ride to catch the wagon' - hardly reassuring news for his family over the festive season.
A year later Sidney was able to report that his new house was ready to be occupied: it had
A large sitting-room, two bedrooms, pantry and store, with verandah all round. It will seem really like getting to civilization when I go into it. There is a splendid view ... this is likely to be the first time since coming out that Christmas will seem to be really Christmas; not so much because of plum pudding or beef, but that it is the first time that I have felt really at home and comfortable.This in spite of soaring temperatures. But though Sidney remains cheerful there is, as in most emigrant journals and correspondence, nostalgia for the old country and people left behind. Christmas morning was 'awfully hot' and 'would, I think, be almost too much for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego …'.
My plum pudding came to a bad job … so I ate beef for dinner, and had the pudding out and baked it in a tin dish till 7 p.m. but it still kept a sort of paste. I have just been eating some of it with milk and sugar, but it sticks to the top of your mouth much worse than the old stickjaw we used to get at school … You are now no doubt getting ready for dancing … Couldn't I, and wouldn't I, just have a go were I at Home at the present minute.'
Turner spent forty years in South Africa between 1864 and his death in 1901. He made a happy marriage, his wife Bella surviving him for about thirty years; they had twenty-two grandchildren. Perhaps his most exciting and notable contribution to history, apart from his valuable letters, was his interest in the wreck of the East Indiaman, Grosvenor, of which he salvaged several relics.
Extracts from Portrait of a Pioneer: The Letters of Sidney Turner from South Africa 1864-1901, selected and edited by Daphne Child (MacMillan South Africa, 1980).
The originals, as well as Turner's Grosvenor relics, are held in the Local History Museum, Old Court House, Durban.

Dynamo midfielders Alex Dixon and Brian Ownby are currently on loan with the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Richmond Kickers, respectively.
Through the first three matches of the Rowdies' season, Dixon has made two appearances off the bench. Most recently, the Dynamo homegrown midfielder played the final 25 minutes of Tampa Bay's 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Silverbacks. Dixon and the Rowdies will head to south Florida this weekend to take on the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers on Satuday night at 7:30 p.m.
Brian Ownby has become a regular for his hometown club since joining the Kickers on loan in March. A week after playing 74 minutes and recording an assist in the 4-1 win over the Charleston Battery, Ownby started and played 83 minutes in last week's 4-1 win over the Rochester Rhinos. The second-year midfielder had one shot attempt in the match as the Kickers improved to 2-0-1 on the season.
Joining Ownby in Richmond is a familiar face to Dynamo fans. Last week, the club announced the signing of former Dynamo midfielder Joseph Ngwenya. The Zimbabwean striker scored eight MLS goals across two stints with Houston and recorded goals in his first two appearances for Richmond.
The Kickers are off this weekend and resume play on May 3 when they travel to North Carolina to take on the Wilmington Hammerheads.

To celebrate the 4th of July I mounted my one and only Avocet FasGrip 30 Kevlar-bead tire. And as fate would have it, I stumbled across a new Avocet racing II saddle at the Bicycle Outfitter, the place to go if you're looking for Avocet products of yore. I rode Avocet Road 20 tires for years, but I never tried the Road 30.
I aged this tire like a fine wine, buying it in 1986 and carrying it as a spare on my ride through the Alps. I never mounted the tire and it just sat there in my travel bag for the past 26 years. While aging rubber is not a good thing, as it is for wine, the tire looks as good as new. An interesting discovery: the 700×28 tire is only 24 mm wide, one of the most egregious width discrepancies I've ever seen in a tire, or it's a mislabeled 700×25.
I checked eBay and you can buy a pair of new wire-bead Avocet tires for $92. Road 20s sold for $12.98 each in 1987. My Road 30 tire went for $18.98.
After a trip on the Racing II I can tell you it's a comfortable ride, but if you have prostate issues, use the newer saddles shaped to relieve pressure in that area.

Dell's Studio XPS line has done fairly well in our reviews lately, and we find that the $1,149 Studio XPS sx8100-1986NBC is no exception. Although its full model name is a mouthful, this retail-only desktop compares well with others in its price range from both mainstream and smaller PC vendors. We recommend this Dell to anyone looking for a system to handle a wide-range of mainstream productivity and gaming tasks.
Dell offers a Studio XPS 8100 on its Web site as well as in retail stores. You can customize the online version, but with the same parts ordered directly from Dell as our retail review unit you'd pay about $1,360, not including shipping. You can add a few other features on Dell's Web site, including a TV tuner, more RAM, different hard drives, and a faster CPU, but the retail model covers the basics for a performance-oriented midrange system. While some of its components aren't the best available from Dell for this product line, they're only below by a tick or two.
Our one criticism with the design of this system compared with its online counterpart stems from a color variation. The all-black version offered at retail isn't offensive, but it looks like almost every other desktop on the shelf. Online, Dell offers the Studio XPS 8100 with a black front plate and a white body that looks far more distinctive. The physical characteristics of the two versions are identical, the highlight of which is an upswept front panel that makes the media card reader and front side USB jacks easy to access.
We went to HP, Gateway, Velocity Micro, and Dell's own Web site and found no real comparison for the Studio XPS 8100-1986NBC. Most systems we custom built came in too expensive when we matched the components. And Gateway's ready-made FX-Series PCs were all too high-end. With no real competition on the market right now, we've opted to compare the Dell with a desktop from Asus that came out last August for $1,200, although it's now available for at a steep discount of $799. As you can see, you don't get many more features for $1,200 now compared with six months ago, the lone major exception is the Dell's wireless networking card. The Dell's performance tells a different story.
Don't let the Dell's third-place spot on a few of our charts fool you. The Velocity Micro system was overclocked and cost $1,349 at the time of its review, and the Falcon Northwest cost $2,500. Further, the Dell isn't that far behind the Velocity Micro system, and the Dell actually wins on our multimedia multitasking test. Regardless of the standings, the Dell demonstrates solid mainstream performance, and as long as you don't have professional-level video editing in mind, it should be suitable for most consumer-oriented productivity tasks.
The Dell's gaming performance doesn't overachieve, but it meets our expectations for a mainstream gaming PC. It will play Far Cry 2 smoothly at full detail and lower resolutions. As the resolution climbs, you might notice the occasional slowdown, but it should still play and look pretty good, and you shouldn't have to dial the detail settings down too far to overcome choppy frame rates. You might find a few games that give the Dell a workout if you have a 22-inch or 24-inch LCD, but generally, you can expect smooth gameplay.
Because the Dell has a Wi-Fi card and a doublewide Radeon HD 5770 graphics card, you don't get a lot of room for other upgrades–a free standard PCI slot is your only option. You can add a second hard drive, but all four RAM slots are taken, so your memory and storage options are somewhat limited as well. The Dell's connectivity options are a bit more flexible. You get a handful of USB 2.0 ports, eSATA and FireWire for external storage, S/PDIF digital audio and 7.1 analog audio outputs, and DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort video outputs on the graphics card. Short of still uncommon USB 3.0 devices, you should be able to find a port for any contemporary peripheral or accessory on the back of this system.
Dell has earned itself a good reputation in our lab for its energy efficiency, and this desktop is no different. As you can see in our chart, it's the most efficient traditional midtower in its price range. Granted, the difference between paying $3.25 a month to power the Dell and $5.46 for the Velocity micro system isn't that meaningful financially, but we also shouldn't let the fact that Dell consumes only about 60 percent as much power as the Velocity Micro for comparable performance go unrecognized.
Dell's service and support is more or less the same as that of its major retail competition. You get 24-7 phone support, a yearlong parts and labor warranty, and a variety of support resources online and on the system itself via various diagnostic tools.

French Onion Soup | Recipe | Soup
Mike never gets super excited when he asks what's for dinner and I reply, "Soup and Sandwiches." Somehow this combo became known as lady's luncheon fare. However, if I say "French Dips & French Onion Soup" it is a different story... he's thrilled. Maybe it is the presence of beef, or a soup loaded with onions and topped with cheese that says 'manly meal?'
French Onion Soup couldn't be easier to make. The only prep work is slicing some onions and pouring in various liquids. It is a great quick dinner during the week, but also makes a very elegant first course for a dinner party. This soup freezes nicely. I like to freeze it in individual bowls, then reheat it with French Dip Sandwiches for a very quick dinner.
French Onion Soup
serves 4-6
6 cups (3-4 onions) of yellow onions (vidalia, if available), halved and sliced
6 tablespoons of butter
64 oz. of Beef Broth (typically 1 box)
1 cup of red wine (optional)
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves (1/2 teaspoon if dry)
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of sugar (plus more, if desired)
crusty french bread
provolone cheese, sliced
Begin by cooking the onions in the butter in a deep pot on medium heat until they begin to caramelize and turn brown in color. Stir them continuously while they cook to avoid burning. It should take 10 minutes to caramelize the onions. Add beef broth, wine, bay leaves, thyme, salt and sugar. Bring to a simmer and heat for at least 15 minutes. Lower heat.
To serve, ladle soup into an oven proof bowl. Top it with a slice of crusty bread and provolone cheese. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese becomes bubbly.
French Dip Sandwich. Here is the recipe!

I have been playing with the idea to get data auto loaded into a grid when the user scrolls towards the bottom. I added a listener for scrollevents on the grid and could load more data into it, but:
1) I cannot append data to the grid, only load data again with N more rows. Is there a append feature i have not seen?
2) When the data is loaded, it auto-scrolls back to the top, which again triggers the scroll-event. How can i keep the user at the location he/she was at? It feels a bit hacky to save location before loading more data and it wont work well since a mouse scroll will trigger the listener many times before new data is loaded.
Is there something better to use, perhaps liveGrid?

Parisian ad agency Fred & Farid just received a Lion D'Or at the Cannes Festival for their ad campaign for Wrangler, which was shot by American photographer Ryan McGinley. We can only say that it was well deserved. The "We Are Animals" campaign looks very impressive, with each image communicating a very strong message and just an indulging overall mood.
Here below a video expressing the mood from the shoot.

Yes, They Exist: 10 Black Women Who Could Star On "SNL"
Yes, They Exist: 10 Black Women Who Could Star On "SNL"
Chubby lumpkins comedian/"SNL" star Kenan Thompson sparked outrage with his comments that Black women aren't ready (or funny enough) for "SNL" and, naturally, Twitter exploded. So, rather than feed into the close-minded negativity, we compiled a list of hilarious Black women who would easily shine on the very white and unfunny sketch show "SNL."
Here are ten Black women who could star on SNL. Take a look.
Issa Rae
Her sophisticated brand of funny built on awkward everyday situations doesn't always connect with everyone but we believe she's versatile enough to shine on "SNL."
Aisha Tyler
Very few women are beautiful AND funny like the bubbly actress/comedienne known for her unforgettable roles on "Talk Soup" and "Archer."
Jessica Williams
If you watch "The Daily Show," you've seen the sharp-witted comedienne delivering hilariously snarky news bits as the show's correspondent.
Gabby Sidibe
She would always play sassy real-life cartoon characters like Madea but is easily one of the funniest actresses in Hollywood.
Regina Hall
The effortlessly funny actress is too versatile to fit into the "comedienne" box and had the funniest scenes in the "Scary Movie" series.
Wanda Sykes
Top 5 Black comedienne EVER? Many believe so.
Continue Slideshow
Kim Wayans
Aside from her Oscar worthy-performance in "Pariah," she's been quiet since "In Living Color" but still over-the-top hilarious, we're sure.
She's only situationally funny which is perfect for a late-night sketch show like "SNL."
K. Michelle
The Queen of Section 8 Soul is absolutely hilarious, especially when she's being her normal, everyday, Flamin Hot Cheeto-scented self on "Love & Hip-Hop."

Rear Deck Lid Replacement Strap Kit:
These kits allow you to replace the rear deck lid limit straps. The hinge assemblies have to be removed to install these straps. The original rivet/fastener will need to be drilled out and the new rivet and cable installed and swegged from the back side. The new rivets are 304 stainless steel.
There are 2 variations of rear deck lid hinges. One variation is where the lower bracket is made of thicker steel and the other variation is where the lower bracket is the same thickness as the upper bracket and has welded in reinforcements. The thicker lower bracket requires a longer rivet. The thin style has brackets that are both equal in thickness so both rivets are the same in length. The pictures below show how to tell them apart. The thick style has the small opening. The thin style has the large opening.
Be sure to order the correct kit to fit your hinges!
Stainless Steel Hinge Rivet
Thick Lower Thin Lower
304 Stainless steel
Sold in pairs. Includes the four rivets.
*Make sure you order the correct kit to match your hinges.
Tips on how to install them:
Once all the old rivets have been removed install the new cable and new rivets. This is a two person job. One person has to hold the hinge while the other hammers on the rivet with the drift. Lay the hinge on the anvil of a work bench vice. Use a large drift and hammer. Go at a slight angle and walk around the edge of the rivet util it is well peened over.
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
Shipping: Shipping in the USA via a small postal flat rate box for $8.50
Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.
Shipping to areas outside of the USA: Generally I ship postal air first class mail. Shipping varies depending on what country they are going to. It ranges from $18.25 to Canada to $24 or more to Australia etc.
