CHA-Winter 2010 will be here in less than three weeks! And the big question is, what will the major show trends be?
One major trend indicator to watch at each show is what the color palette is. The dominant color palette is a good way to judge what direction the style trends are moving, since certain colors will be associated with certain styles.
Twice a year, Pantone issues color trend forecasts for the upcoming fall or spring fashion season. These trends aren't always carried into the scrapbook market, since the colors don't always translate to the needs of scrapbookers. (neon scrapbook paper, anyone?) Pantone's Spring 2010 color forecast looks like this:
The background on the graphic is all turquoise because Pantone has declared that 2010 is the year of turquoise. Scrapbook Update Contributing Writer May Flaum and Rhonna Farrer both wrote on their blogs agreeing with Pantone's forecast, and the early peeks from CHA-Winter 2010 are in fact heavy on turquoise.
So what other colors will we be seeing alongside turquoise? Here's a few predictions, based on fashion in stores, Pantone, and the early sneak peeks:
- Navy Blue: Brown will be replaced as the dominant neutral by the warmer and richer navy blue. In fact, all the blue tones will be warmer and richer, in contrast to the past several years of more grey or baby blue tones.
- Lavender/Violet: Purple will be making a comeback in lighter tones.
- Red: Rich, vibrant reds will be a popular accent color. Spring/summer reds will be brighter than the cranberries that we saw for the holiday lines.
- Earthy Greens: Green tones will be even more earthy, vintage and grey in nature than the subdued tones we already saw dominate the holiday lines for 2009.
- Candy Pink: The innocent, happy look of candy pink is back strong.
- Lemon Yellow: Another bright, happy color tone that is back for summer and to provide a lift to people.
What does this palette look like in action?
Melody Ross's Homespun Chic line for GCD Studios incorporates a lot of this color palette:
Kaisercraft's upcoming Gypsy Sisters collection is also a good example of the trendy palette in action:
Many of the other lines that have already been sneaked also feature touches of many of these colors. Some even feature them as dominant themes, like the Independence line from GCD Studios, which heavily features a deep rich navy blue:
So, that is just a sample of the rainbow that CHA will be bringing our way for spring and summer 2010!

Wet and Wild Weather, Day Two of the Melges 32 Australian Championships
20 April 2013
Big grins on the faces of exhausted crews as they returned to Middle Harbour Yacht Club after an exciting day of full on racing in heavy rain and wind gusts of 28 knots. The usually busy Sydney Harbour was empty apart from the occasional Manly ferry which was just as well as boats needed a clear runway at times.
The experienced race committee worked their magic completing five races even when the number of boats on the start line varied as two crews had to return to the club, make quick repairs and pick up sails in time for the next race.
There was action a plenty and exciting racing to watch as the crews battled the wind gusts, waves and rain often coming off second best. Envy Scooters broached on the first run of race two, and struggled to drop their spinnaker eventually blowing up to the cliff face off Neilson Park, Vaucluse. Actions of a quick acting crew and the assistance of a race support boat resulted in minimal damage. The crew regrouped and headed back to Chowder Bay to wait for their next start.
Martin Cross on If, who recently joined the class commented that "today's racing was fundamentally great fun, when it was good it was very, very good and when it was bad it was horrid."
Other crews were impressed by the pirouette that 2 Unlimited managed in race two; Chris Way said it was "spectacular and almost look choreographed."
Leading the regatta at the conclusion of a challenging days racing is Chris Way Easy Tiger III. The Easy Tiger III crew were not without their problems but recent coaching by French 470 Olympian Alex Pallu De La Barriere paid off as great boat handling and cool heads provided quick recoveries and consistent results throughout the day.
The forecast for the final days racing will be sure to mix the results as winds and swell ease throughout the day.

"Who's Keeping Core? : A Look at Core Book Lists"
Monday, January 14, 8-10 am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Room 204C
Most librarians would agree that there should be a definable "core" of essential books. But how many would agree on what the core is? This forum will explore the tension between the idea of a core and the actual practice of defining one.
PVLR invited a number of libraries and library-related organizations to prepare core lists for our forum under identical specifications. PVLR member Carolyn Morris, of Coutts Information Services, will report our findings on the degree of overlap and the various methods used to define a core list by our respondents, who include Blackwells, the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), Coutts Information Services, MyiLibrary, OCLC, Queens Borough Public Library, Stanford University, and YBP Library Services.
Our speakers will also include several of our respondents: Kim Armstrong and Mark Sandler, Center for Library Initiatives, CIC; Ann-Marie Breaux, Vice President, Academic Services Development, YBP; Marcus Elmore, Choice Project Editor, Resources for College Libraries; Glenda Lammers, Global Product Manager, Business Intelligence, OCLC; and Will Wheeler, Curator for Anthropology, Psychology, and Sociology, Stanford University;

"New Roles for Acquisitions: Selecting and Harvesting for Institutional Repositories"
Monday, January 14, 1:30–3 pm Pennsylvania Convention Center, Room 204C
Electronic resources have forever altered the nature of work done by acquisitions librarians. Acquisitions librarians have taken on new and more complex roles with each step in the electronic resource movement. They have mastered the review and negotiation of license agreements, the acquisition of electronic journals and books, and, most recently, the maintenance of electronic resource management systems. The ALCTS Acquisitions Section is hosting a forum on the latest transformational change that has taken place in research libraries—the development of institutional repositories.
Karl Debus-López, National Agricultural Library and Trisha Davis, Ohio State University, will give brief presentations on how they have restructured their acquisitions operations to manage the selection and harvesting of content for their institutions' digital repositories. There will be ample time after their presentations for discussion and questions from the audience. We are interested in hearing about how you are absorbing work related to institutional repositories or anything else that is new and different into your libraries (From ALCTS Newsletter Online)

One more week fellow Doctor Fans! And Mr. Terrorist (weird saying that) i will not watch the prequel. I'd hate to spoil an episode or as River Song would say, "SPOILERS!" Anyways, looking forward to seeing the Doctor and Clara Oswin Oswald go at it.

"I invented the Quadricycle."
"I can't tell the future, I just work there."
Very much a transitional episode. I understand that Dr. Who needs to set-up the characters, but this was a little too transitional for me. The villian was too weak, though it's potential connection to an age old enemy is quite exciting, and too much time was spent on pseudo-action scenes that made little sense (yes boarding a crashing plane was fun, but it was a little too unbelievable). Arguably the best moments of the episode were between the Doctor and Clara (which, duh, they were supposed to be), especially early on when Clara used various windows and doors in order to keep distance from the doctor (their conversation as Clara hung her head out a second story window was quite fun). And, while Clara's magical haxx hackery was fun in it's simplicity (there has to be some satire involved here concerning all these "secret" agents routinely posting their secretive work status on Facebook), it was a little too random to really be taken seriously.
Still the basic mystery involved her is quite interesting and I eagerly await what's to come. 75/100.
p.s. Is anyone else getting tired of the 4th wall meta jokes concerning the Doctor's name?
p.p.s. Who here is expecting River to be the one who gave Clara the Doctor's number? Here's hoping the show doesn't dip itself back in the Song well too soon.
p.p.p.s Is the book the young boy Clara is babysitting one of Amy Pond's published novels? Also, I could help but laugh at Clara's descriptions of Chapter 10 and 11...

It is interesting to have the world not knowing who the Doctor is again. We have a mortal human woman daring to face him head on, not knowing her foe is someone who regularly commit genocide and blow up planets.
Edit: The prequel trailer for the episode explained why he ended up in a monastery; he decided to "go to a quiet room to have a think about it."

A pretty good set up epi for future events. Was it Moffats best? No but 11 was back and he had some great moments. I loved him getting dressed, getting jammy dodgers for Clara, keeping himself busy as she slept, it was adorable.
Loved the book reference and 11 being the best chapter. It crossed my mind that River might be the one who gave Clara the TARDIS number but Im really hoping it wasnt. I like River with Amy and Rory tho I do know eventually will get her final epi.
Im not loving the GI as a villain, wasnt at all surprised to see Simeon was the boss, hoping that aspect gets better. Still DW is back and Im happy.

It was cute that the people looking for the Tardis all night actually had issues... Because London is probably one of the few places left where you can actually still find police boxes.
Apparently they got embarrassed with an incident during the night, maybe when they attacked the Earls Court policebox.

What an extravaganza of an episode. Centered around a giant set piece of a god and filled with lots of fun costumes and special effects (some cheesy, some decent), "Rings of Akhaten" was a damn fun episode and a great centerpiece for Clara's introduction to the world of Dr. Who. The episode also contained one of Matt Smith's better performances (his soliloquy as he stares down the parasitic deity), along with a lot of fun little details that will probably only matter later once the mystery of Clara takes center stage. Even if the plot was overly convoluted (purposely I imagine, just for the big reveal of the big bad at the end) and characters seemed to vaporize as soon as they lost relevance, this was still a damn fun episode. 81/100.

Davos? What are you doing as a Soviet submarine captain?
So these are the Ice Warriors. And this might be the first they are seen without their armor.
Love the fact old guy happen to be a fan 80's music like Duran Duran.

Like the epi more then I thought I would. Again 11 is in top form. Nice to see the Ice Warriors again though I miss the "sssss" from the older series.
Next weeks looks fargan awesome! I can't wait for it, apparently it's written by the who wrote Rings of Akhaten which I like the more I watch it so really looking forward to Hide.

Professor, I could kiss you! If you insist.
Great great great episode. Easily one of my favourites from Season 7 (it lacks the emotional weight of the last Pond episodes, but it makes up for it in many slight and endlessly fun ways).
This is a very simple episode. In fact, it is so simple it reminds me of many classic (old) Dr. Who episodes. Trapped in a defenseless location, trying to stave off an invasion, all the while saving the world. But, even if this is a very well worn trope, this episode takes everything to the logical extreme (instead of a castle or home being used to house our heroes as they fight the invasion, we are instead stuck in a submarine at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean) while also providing some damn good character development for Clara and still managing to have a fun time throughout (with some honest to god tension included) and even more has some damn fun side characters. This episode really did have everything, and everything was done just right.
Firstly, the side characters. This week we are treated to two great character actors: Liam Cunningham (best known currently for his role as Davos from Game of Thrones) and the great David Warner (who has been in at least two great time travel films that I know of off the top of my head: he played Lucifer in Time Bandits and Jack the Ripper in Time After Time). Both bring a fine touch to their performance, and are able to stand beside Matt Smith quite well. Whether it be Warner's character the Professor's obsession with (great) 80s new wave music, all the while providing Clara with some amazing emotional support (support she definitely needs that sadly the Doctor is not providing); or Cunningham's turn as a highly competent military officer that, I believe, would have been able to handle this crisis whether the Doctor showed up or not (one of the few individuals in the series that I believe could have actually handled their own end of the world scenario...even if he had to destroy his ship to see that the world is kept safe - "We are expendable, comrades—our world is not.").
Secondly, Clara is really coming along as her own unique companion. Like many previous companions, she is more than willing to throw herself completely into harms way simply when she volunteers to speak to Skaldak simply because she trusts the Doctor (I couldn't help but notice that while the Doctor begs her not to go, he is still smiling at her, seemingly in approval of her actions, urging her on with his body even as he voices his disapproval). But, unlike many companions, her subsequent failures brings a moment of self-doubt. In the end, she is able to reclaim her own confidence, and help to save the world, but her emotional trek, however brief, greatly added to her character. I especially like how willing she is to obey the Doctor's instructions. In a delightful little meta joke to the companions of old, when the Doctor tells Clara not to wonder off, to stay put, she agrees immediately (The shock on Smith's face was worth the episode alone). What follows is a very nice scene as Clara converses with the Professor, trying to convince herself that Skaldak's carnage and the possible end of the world is not her fault - that she did not cause this mess.*
And Finally, the Doctor. It's not often the Doctor is actually forced into a corner (literally or figuratively). It only seems to happen during season finales or big emotional episodes. So for the Doctor to attempt a path of mutual self destruction in this episode over one alien with one nuclear device speaks volumes of not only the Doctor, but the tense situation he was in.
All in all, great episode, wonderful direction with fine pacing and some great acting. I haven't been this pleased with a Doctor Who in quite awhile. 90/100.
Some side comments:
-I really love how all of this episode is from the Russians perspective during the Cold War. Cunningham's Captain is painted quite nicely as a man who understands tough decisions, and understands that the world he lives in can end with the stupidest of mistakes.
-Does anyone else think Clara could die (again)? I find the possibility of Clara's death to be immensely appealing, not because I dislike the character (I'm growing to love her quite a bit), but because she is a character that has the potential to actually die - unlike all the other companions (well, not all of them). I can't help but feel the tension surrounding her character is greatly increased due to the sheer possibility that her current iteration could be killed, and a different Clara could come and replace her. This would be great for the actress, allowing her to come up with different personalities for each Clara, and potentially very interesting for her whole mystery. Then again, maybe I'm watching too much Orphan Black ...
-Does anyone else want to see Clara and the Doctor hoofing it to the South Pole to get the Tardis? That seems like a fun couple of episodes .

I wish to oppose the adoption of any policy which might cause W3C recommendations to require technology for whose use royalties must be paid. I oppose such a policy regardless of the "reasonableness" or "lack of discrimination" of the licensing process. Indeed, I would be concerned about any system which might require an implementor even to register its use of a technology. My reasons are as follows-- 1. The administrative burden of seeking and maintaining licenses would inhibit implementors. Such clerical effort can be prohibitive for a small enterprise. Even in large enterprises, it tends to slow adoption by discouraging potential project advocates, and to damage innovation by adding to the burden on projects which might wish to extend the standard or combine it with other technology. Likewise, development for in-house use becomes impractical when patents must be licensed. The licensing burden grows over time; the more standards a product or suite of products supports, the more patents have to be licensed. 2. The monetary costs of licensing have the same bad effects, but perhaps even more skewed against small, poorly funded implementors. 3. The need to seek licenses would, of course, completely prevent many open source implementations. Since open source has been a major source of innovation in the Internet and the Worldwide Web, and it would seem unwise to kill that particular golden goose. This is especially true because, in the past, open source innovations have perhaps been better for standards than closed innovations... they have been more likely both to maintain backward compatibility with existing practice, and to be offered for future standardization. 4. Many, many patents in the W3C's field of interest cover subject matter which is obvious, and which should not justify a patent at all. Unfortunately, both because of a lack of qualified examiners and because of regulatory capture effects, patent offices have been unduly free in issuing such patents. In the US, some unfortunate court decisions have reinforced this state of affairs. The result is a patent system badly in need of legislative and administrative reform, and it is the duty of all responsible technologists and technology organizations to support such reform. The policy proposed for the W3C does the opposite, serving to legitimize patents that should never have been issued, and to encourage people to apply for weak patents in the hope of being able to "tax" future standards-based products. 5. Even "reasonable" licensing has frequently been used as a barrier to entry, helping to perpetuate industrial oligarchies. In addition, even under RAND rules, licensors have been known to act in bad faith, or to practice "hidden" discrimination. Even if these abuses are the exception, rather than the rule, they are enormously destructive, and it is unwise to invite them. 6. The need to license patents may make it very difficult to conduct a development project in secret. Consider the company which is developing a new product on a tight schedule, but needs to license a patent from a competitor before the product can be released. It is true that some standards bodies operate successfully under RAND rules, and that some standards requiring licensing have been adopted without apparently serious damage. However, this has happened mostly in cases, such as consumer electronics or semiconductor manufacture, where a few large companies with enormous capital investments make essentially all of the products. In such a situation, patent licensing does not greatly increase the already large barriers to entry. This does not describe the environment in which W3C recommendations are used; in software, patent licensing costs (including administrative costs) may frequently exceed all other costs involved in developing a product. It is extremely rare that a patent covers every possible way to implement really important functionality. It is therefore usually unnecessary to standardize around a patented method. In the very uncommon cases where a patent effectively covers all ways of doing something extremely useful, the patent holder is in a position to dictate the terms under which her technology is to be used, and has no incentive to agree to RAND terms, or indeed to work through a standards body at all. In such a case, the W3C's position becomes moot. Please don't saddle us with the need to worry about patents when deciding whether to implement a W3C standard. -- J.

|Big oil spill in progress
I've got three substantial works in progress at the moment and flit between them according to where I am, how hot it is or whether my fingers are getting tired of felting needle, stitching needle or crochet hook. The making is of course in addition to working on a few proposals and applications and negotiating to consign existing works to out of town galleries. 2012 is turning out a busy and exciting year!
|The needle-felted top of Te Aroha (935m)
I've finally pushed out my Tui Mine piece from the shores of planning and preparation onto the wide sea of making. Starting at the top of Te Aroha, thick pads of New Zealand bush greens are being felted onto the contour lines above the mine. I'm still waiting for embroidery threads to arrive in the post before I start stitching and can get a sense of what these mottled colours will ultimately look like. Hopefully less like camouflage fabric than they look right now!
|My whole floor area covered in blankets and pattern pieces to be cut out for the big oil spill
Meanwhile, my urge to stitch is more than being satisfied with long waves of big black oil spill. All the pieces of blanket are cut out, and as I felt, then stitch them around the edges of this very large work, it becomes more and more awkward to manage. Rolled up in its dust sheet I think of it as a baby whale, soft, heavy and compact. But there is no longer anywhere big enough in my life to spread it out to see in full or pin the newest piece flat. I have to work in sections with the rest of it folded or piled out of the way. Despite this limitation I can tell it's looking good, well past its unlovable adolescence and into a big bold strong maturity.

What people say about Weber 46710001 Spirit E320 Liquid Propane Gas Grill, Black?
Perfect Grill Marks!
Replacing my 9 year old Ducane, and couldn't be happier. She was one of the good ones, actually made in South Carolina, but this Weber has better temperature control and gets hot! Nice when you're grilling in winter!
Assembly was easy, the firebox and gas line assemble came pre-assembled; you just build the cart and attach the finishing components such as the ignitor, knob cover plate, side shelves and door. Took about an hour and 45 min. The instructions are clear and concise. Needed tools are a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a 7/16ths deep dish socket would be useful for the 8 nuts securing the side table brackets.
Deal maker for me was the heavy cast iron grates. These are exactly the same quality as the $699 E-310 Genesis, just smaller, and they leave great grill marks! (Please see picture).
Even though this grill has 2 burners it gets hot! Up to 550 degrees within 10 min on high. Turn down the temp and it dropped to 400 within a couple of…

There is one bus an hour (ish) from Stroud.
Alternatively you can drive in. From Cirencester follow the main road, the A419 towards Stroud, once past a cross roads and through some trees, you should come to the airfield, on your left. Turn left just after the airfield (opposite a parking area with a cafe). Following this road will get you into Minchinhampton. You'll be crossing a cattle grid when you enter Minchinhampton. Warning Mind the cows! They are likely to be on the road.
Get around
The village is quite small, and the centre is compact. It's easy to see the whole village on foot.
(not really that interesting, honest).

Along Kissimmee's busy tourist corridor, Osceola County has opened an attraction that spotlights the area's history and natural beauty.
The new Osceola County History Museum and Welcome Center, which will have its grand opening Saturday, offers visitors a look at what lies beyond the blight that afflicts much of U.S. Highway 192. The county spent about $2.25 million to build the center in a former Roadhouse Grill restaurant building.
Some exhibits, including prehistoric stone tools and a Seminole Indian canoe dating from the 1750s, delve into the county's distant past.
Other photos and objects recall the area's more recent past as a hub for steamship traffic and the citrus, timber and cattle industries. Still other exhibits highlight local wildlife and ecosystems such as marshes and hammocks.
The Osceola County Historical Society operates the center. Donnita Dampier, the society's executive director, calls the museum a "unique facility. We've been able to bring the nature and the history together in one place."
Dampier said that even though no marketing has been done yet, the center is averaging about 30 visitors a day from word-of-mouth, with more people stopping by on weekends.
"It's been really well received," she said.
Most of the Native American artifacts, Dampier said, were unearthed by home builder Avatar along Reedy Creek during the development of Poinciana.
The exhibits also offer looks at an earlier era of tourism, including turn-of-the-century hotels and an early 1900s "ride-through" saloon in Kissimmee where cowboys on horseback could order whiskey.
Dampier's organization also operates the nearby Pioneer Village and Museum, which features a collection of late-1800s structures from throughout the county. She's optimistic that the welcome center will boost visits to the Pioneer Village, and vice versa.
County Commissioner Michael Harford said he sees the center, along with the nearby Shingle Creek Regional Park and other planned projects, as "the beginnings of an eco-niche that we can try to fill."
Harford said he foresees eco-tourists leaving from the center and canoeing down Shingle Creek. "By the time you go 300 yards down the creek, you couldn't tell you were this close to civilization."
Call: 407-396-8644.
Osceola County History Museum
When: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. A grand opening is set for Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the museum and at the Pioneer Village, 750 N. Bass Road.
Where: 4155 W. Vine St. (U.S. Highway 192), Kissimmee.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Abortion is Murder, No ifs or buts
[Editor's Note: This is a reply to an article by Mr Edip Yuksel called "Abortion is Murder if......" in which the author expressed his opinion that abortion should be permitted in the first three months of pregnancy.]
[4:60] Have you noted those who claim that they believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, then uphold the unjust laws of their idols? They were commanded to reject such laws. Indeed, it is the devil's wish to lead them far astray.
The abortion issue has always been a hot topic. For the last 1400 years, the majority of the Muslims were misled by their scholars into believing that abortion in the first three months of pregnancy is permissible. While disregarding the clear orders in the Quran, these Muslims built their conclusion on fabricated hadiths. Some of these hadiths claimed that the soul of the fetus does not enter the body until the fourth month of gestation and therefore killing the fetus is permissible.
It was God's blessing that we were guided back to the Quran by the messenger of the covenant who strongly refused the fabricated hadiths and clearly indicated that the Quran certainly condemns the killing of both the born and the unborn children.
As we learned from history, after the departure of every messenger, some people will distort the message and confuse the others. Now we hear the call to go back to the laws of ignorance and allow the killing of the unborn children during the first three months of pregnancy. This call comes from those who are confused, misled, misinformed and misguided.
[6:140] Losers indeed are those who killed their children foolishly, due to their lack of knowledge, and prohibited what God has provided for them, and followed innovations attributed to God. They have gone astray; they are not guided.
Abortion, what is it?
Webster's dictionary defines abortion as the expulsion of a non-viable fetus during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Remember that, in the abortion performed today, the abortionists induce the expulsion of a viable fetus, or in other terms kill the living fetus to bring him/her down. What is the stand of the Quran on the abortion issue? Let us find out.
Quran, the first revelation:
The believers know that every word, letter, name, number and gesture in the Quran is chosen deliberately. It should not surprise us to find out that the name God chose for the first revelation of the Quran, was not Muhammed, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, The Sun, the Moon, the Iron, the winds, the stars, the night, the people, or the Jinn..etc. The name God chose for His first revelation was "The hanging embryo", Sura 96. This hanging embryo stage starts about 6 days after the fertilization of the ovum, not after three months of pregnancy. How significant or insignificant is this choice, it is up to you to ponder. Let us keep this in mind while studying the rest of the Quran that deals with this issue.
Killing the soul or the body!!
Some argued, on no basis but fabricated hadiths, that the fetus in the first four months do not have a soul yet and therefore it is permissible to kill him/her. They do not realize that the soul has nothing to do with abortion. In abortion you are dealing with the physical body and its life, you are destroying the physical body of the fetus not the soul. We cannot kill the soul even if we try. Whether the soul entered the fetus body in the first minute of life or after four months of pregnancy is irrelevant to the abortion issue.
Killing, condemned:
Killing any person is strongly condemned in the Quran. God has made life sacred. Killing the children is specifically condemned as they are the helpless victims in every society.
[17:33] You shall not kill any person - for God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. If one is killed unjustly, then we give his heir authority to enforce justice. Thus, he shall not exceed the limits in avenging the murder, he will be helped.
[17:31] You shall not kill your children due to fear of poverty. We provide for them, as well as for you. Killing them is a gross offense.
[6:151] Say, "Come let me tell you what your Lord has really prohibited for you: You shall not set up idols besides Him. You shall honor your parents. You shall not kill your children from fear of poverty - we provide for you and for them. You shall not commit gross sins, obvious or hidden. You shall not kill - God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you, that you may understand."
What does the word "Children" in the verse include ?. This word "Children" is the translation of the Arabic word "Awlad". "Do not kill your (Awlad) children..".
One author of an abortion article claims that, the Webster's dictionary defines a child as "Young human being" which is true but is also half the truth. The dictionary also defines a child as " the unborn or recently born person". That author used this half truth to support his opinion that killing the unborn children is not covered by these verse, 17:33 and 6:151
Again the same author has been misinforming the reader by claiming that the word "Awlad (Children)" and "Walad (Child)" in Arabic are used ONLY for the born children. He concludes that the order in 71:31 and 6:151 applies only to the killing of born children.
The truth of the matter is that both the words, Children in English and Awlad in Arabic are used for both the born and unborn children in their prospective languages. The order in 17:33 and 6:151 applies to both born and unborn children.
A simple and extra effort by that author would have saved him and those who believed him the big confusion. The Arabic dictionaries describe the unborn child as "Walad in the mother's womb". The born child in Arabic is called "Maolood". "Walad" in Arabic like the word child in English can be used for both the born and the unborn. Although the word "Walad" is derived from the root "Walada" (to give birth), it does not mean that "Walad" has to be born but rather related to the process of birth. The word "Walid" in Arabic is used for father, only because he was a partner in causing this birth to happen and not because he was born or gives birth. God used the word Maolood in the Quran, (31:33). Had God willed, he could have said, "Do not kill your Maoloods" (born children) to specify this category of children.
In 17:31 and 6:151, God is ordering us, not to kill the born or the unborn children.
God cares about the first three months of pregnancy:
The sincere student of the Quran will find out that God is telling us in 2:226 and 65:4 that the first three months of pregnancy are so important that a divorced woman will have to change her life plan if she found herself pregnant. The matter is no more of her own concern, but it is God's concern. God's concern is for the pregnancy and specifically for these first few months of pregnancy. Women who get divorced have an interim of three months before getting married again. This is done MAINLY to see if they are pregnant or not. God then orders them to forget their own wishes and plans and respect the new life created in their wombs. If the first three months of pregnancy were not important God would have told these women not to wait and to have abortion and keep their life plans as they wish. If a married woman get divorced before having a full marital relationship with her husband, she dose not have to wait for three months, 33:49. She would have no interim. Since there is no chance of her being pregnant , the matter is only of her concern.
God cares about the whole three months of early pregnancy as much as we can see from the Quran's treatment of the divorce cases. God named his first revelation after the hanging embryo, not by accident. This hanging embryo, is a stage that starts in 6 days after the fertilization of the ovum.
The New Creature:
[23:14] Then we developed the drop into a hanging (embryo), then developed the hanging (embryo) into a bite-size (fetus), then created the bite-size (fetus) into bones, then covered the bones with flesh. We thus produce a new creature. Most blessed is God, the best Creator.
In verse 23:14, God described the creation of the human being from a tiny drop until he produced a new creature. The advocates of abortion in the first three months of pregnancy, consider the way God described the production of a new creature in this verse (by using the Arabic word Anshaa`) as their proof of the time when the soul joins the body of the fetus. On this basis, they claim that it is OK to kill the fetus before that, since he/she does not have a soul. They are missing many points here. First, abortion has nothing to do with the soul as we explained before. In abortion you kill the physical body of the fetus. You do not and cannot kill the soul. Therefore the time the soul joins the physical body is not important and irrelevant, and God never elaborated on it in the Quran. Second, the word (Anshaa`), in 23:14, is used exclusively in the Quran for the production or construction of a physical being, human or non-human, e.g. the humans, the trees, the clouds, communities..etc. Please see 23:14,19,31,42; 6:141; 11:61 and 53:32. This word (Anshaa`) or its derivatives have never been used by God in the Quran to describe anything that has to do with the soul. To assure the believers, God used another word (Nafakha) repeatedly to describe the joining of the soul and the physical body. See 3:49, 5:110. 15:29, 21:91, 32:9, 39:72 and 66:12.
The use of the word (Anshaa`) to describe the new creature is referring to the physical body of the developing fetus and not to the soul. The fetus will look completely different then, compared with the way it started as a tiny drop. Check any embryology book to appreciate this vast difference.
Note also that God used the word (Anshaa`) four times in sura 23, to give the sincere believer the clue he/she needs.
Abusing the Quran and the Mathematics:
Abusing verses 31:14, 46:15 and 2:233, the author of an article about abortion claims that the last six months of pregnancy are the only important months in the life of the unborn child and therefore it should be permissible to kill the child in the first three months of pregnancy.
Let us study these two verses. Verse 46:15 tells us that the total period for both pregnancy and nursing is 30 months. We know that this is an average estimate and the verse does not define which part of these 30 month is the pregnancy and which is the nursing time. Verse 2:233 tells us that nursing the newborn can be extended as long as two years for those who want to continue nursing. It does not define nursing as obligatory 24 months. It does not say nursing for two months, three months or 20 months is not permitted. In other words the period of nursing is maximum of 24 months but can be as short as one day.
Making an equation from these numbers, the author of the abortion article claimed:
He concluded that only 6 months of the pregnancy period are important and they have to be the last 6 months.
Any one who does not realize that the two numbers in the above equation are variables will be easily deceived. You cannot deduct one variable from another and come up with a fixed number. To make such a serious conclusion from this false equation is a sign of misguidance.
More to our surprise, was that the author concluded that it is the last 6 months (not the first 6 months) of pregnancy that are the important ones. Without any equations or calculations, any intelligent human being can realize that children born after only 6 months of pregnancy can survive and live to be mature adults. Children born after 6 months only of pregnancy can be nursed up to 24 months to complete the 30 months if they need to. Children born after 7,8 or 9 months may need less nursing time as we all know. If we are to make any conclusion from the above numbers we should know that, God is showing us that the first and not the last six months of the pregnancy are the important months for the life of a healthy child. To have it backward is a clear sign of confusion. The above equation is wrong, misleading and inappropriate.
31:14 states:
[31:14] We enjoined the human being to honor his parents. His mother bore him, and the load got heavier and heavier. It takes two years (of intensive care) until weaning. You shall be appreciative of Me, and of your parents. To Me is the ultimate destiny.
This expression "up to" (fee)(in Arabic) or "within" has been missed by those who do not understand Arabic. The word (fee) in Arabic can be used for place or time, if used for a place it will mean "in" and if used for time it will mean "within".
The confirmation of this period comes from God In 2:233 when God teaches us that mothers shall nurse their Infants two full years if the father so wishes. Which also means if the father has no objection, the mother can nurse them any period of time shorter than or longer than two years.
Which, What, Who, or Whom:
A question was raised about the use of the Arabic pronoun "Ma" in the Quran to describe the unborn child. The writer tried to imply that "Ma" which is translated as "What" or "which" as used in (2:228) and (3:35) signify that an unborn child is a non-person. While this typically demonstrates to us what God means in verse 3:7, it clearly reflects how God can control the teaching of the Quran as stated in 55:1-2. The use of the pronoun "Ma" has no significance regarding whether the unborn child is a real person or a nonperson. First in (2:228), God states that He knows what He created in the womb, and this covers the whole period of pregnancy, whether the unborn child is one month or nine months old. It does not make a difference, age wise. Second in (3:35) the use of the word "Ma" again carry the same meaning as in (2:228). God clarifies this more in the next verse (3:36) when God uses the same pronoun "Ma" for the born child "God was fully aware of what she bore". It is more interesting to see that verse (22:2) was used twice in arguing the abortion issue but the author failed twice to recognize the simple "Ma" that God used in that verse for the nursing infant. So, "Ma" has been used in the Quran for born and unborn child without discrimination. To imply that God used the word (MA) for the unborn child because of the insignificance of the fetus is naive and dangerous especially when added to the ignorance of the author with the proper Arabic language.
A question to produce confusion among the people is as innocent as the wolf denying his preying on the little lamb while his teeth are still stained with his blood.
The Misfortune:
No description of a misfortune surpasses God's revelation In (63:1-3).
[63:1] When the hypocrites come to you they say, "We bear witness that you are the messenger of God."* God knows that you are His messenger, and God bears witness that the hypocrites are liars.
[63:2] Under the guise of their apparent faith, they repel the people from the path of God. Miserable indeed is what they do.
[63:3] This is because they believed, then disbelieved. Hence, their minds are blocked; they do not understand.
The misfortunate person has to be the person who is following his own ego. In (45:23). God warns us:
[45:23] Have you noted the one whose god is his ego? Consequently, God sends him astray, despite his knowledge, seals his hearing and his mind, and places a veil on his eyes. Who then can guide him, after such a decision by God? Would you not take heed?
The Exception:
As we all know, every rule has an exception including the religious laws. After all attempts are made to save both the mother and the unborn child, and under unusual situations, abortion may be allowed to save the mother's life. This is permitted, not only during the first three months of pregnancy, but during any time during the pregnancy. Cases of rape have no place in this discussion. Women who are victims of rape have enough time (as much as 6 days) to use available medical treatments to avoid any possible pregnancy. If the rape victim waited until she finds out that she is pregnant, it is too late and she has no excuse to kill the child created in her womb.
In Conclusion:
- Quran condemns the killing of born and unborn children (6:151, 17:31, 6:140, 60:12), i.e. abortion is murder.
- The messengers of God deliver the message, they do not distort it.(3:20, 5:92, 5:99….)
- History repeats itself. The followers of the messenger are the ones who usually distort the message. Their excuse has been, "our intentions were honorable and righteous". (61:4)
- All claims of religious knowledge should be subjected to the utmost scrutiny to avoid falling in the same trap of previous generations, (17:36).
- Knowledgeable people recognize their mistakes (7:23). ignorant people by mistake, recognize their knowledge (7:30, 19:104, 59:18).

Nortel CEO to Consider Takeover Opportunities: PaperBy Reuters - | Posted 2008-02-13 Print
Nortel Networks' chief executive will examine potential takeover opportunities when they
arise, he told a German newspaper, but he declined to comment on media
reports of a unit merger with Motorola.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Nortel Networks' chief executive will examine potential takeover opportunities when they arise, he told a German newspaper, but he declined to comment on media reports of a unit merger with Motorola.
"We are a normal company again, have doubled our expenses for research and development and are spending less money on lawyers to deal with accounting problems," Mike Zafirovski told Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in an interview. An advance copy was released on Wednesday.
"We are becoming more visible in the market again and can rely on organic growth again. But if the right opportunity for an acquisition arises, we will of course look at it. I can't say more on the issue of Motorola," he told the paper.
Zafirovski would not comment on a report in the Wall Street Journal on Monday that the company was in talks with Motorola — the world's third-largest mobile phone maker — to combine their wireless infrastructure units.
The paper had said the talks could create a joint venture with sales of around $10 billion, combining businesses that make network equipment for wireless phone carriers.
Any deal would follow a wave of mergers in the global telecommunications sector, as equipment makers combine in a bid to gain economies of scale and more pricing power against telephone carriers that are also merging.
"It is important for us to stabilize the business and to make the company profitable again after difficult years," he added.
Since the end of the technology boom, Toronto-based Nortel, North America's biggest telecoms equipment supplier, has been hit by tough competition, cost-cutting, sector consolidation and internal problems, including a series of financial restatements.
Zafirovski said Nortel aimed to reach a double-digit operating margin without giving a specific time frame, as the company hopes to benefit from a next-generation high-speed wireless network based on an emerging technology known as Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMax, which provides wireless broadband Internet access over large distances,
He added that services could account for up to 40 percent of its business in the next three to four years, making up around 20 percent at the moment.
