The question is.....who doesn't want more coupons?! I rarely buy something if I don't have a coupon for that particular product. Without coupons, the store prices are too HIGH!! It would be wise for companies to offer more coupons (BIG variety & LONGER ex. dates).....that would help them because people would buy more. Actually, it would be even much better if the stores would just lower their prices, and I wouldn't have to spend an afternoon cutting coupons!

The Playbook: Previewing Lions-Bears, Saints-Dolphins, more Week 4 games
Chris Burke and Doug Farrar get you ready for the weekend with The Playbook, a detailed weekly preview that gives you everything you need to know about the upcoming slate of games.
Main Events
Chicago (3-0) at Detroit (2-1) — 1 p.m. ET, FOX: Two seasons ago, when the Detroit Lions pulled off a surprising run to the playoffs, it was a raucous Monday night victory over the Bears that truly announced their presence as a contender.
Is it time for a repeat performance? Or is it the Bears' turn to make a statement?
Chicago has missed the postseason the past two years (despite a 10-win campaign in 2012), but it's off to a 3-0 start. The Bears have found success in a variety of ways thus far, too, from Jay Cutler's offense clicking to the opportunistic defense putting up points to Devin Hester breaking big returns. They needed every little bit of effort to survive challenges from Cincinnati and Minnesota in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively, before rolling Pittsburgh.
There will be intriguing matchups all over the field in this one. The best of all? Perhaps Bears corner Charles Tillman on Lions superstar Calvin Johnson. Tillman has more than held his own, keeping Megatron under 80 yards per game in the past two seasons. The Bears' defensive dynamo may be somewhat limited by a groin injury in this one, which could mean advantage: Johnson.
Also keep an eye on both lines. Chicago will have its hands full blocking Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley in the middle while Detroit's inexperienced tackles have to keep Julius Peppers and Corey Wootton away from Matthew Stafford. The latter may be easier than in years past — Wootton and Peppers have combined for all of one sack through three games.
MORE COVERAGE: Week 3 Power Rankings | Week 4 Picks | Mock Draft 2.0
Detroit is expecting to have RB Reggie Bush back in the lineup after he sat out a win in Washington. Joique Bell more than picked up the slack in Bush's absence. Who exactly fills in for injured WR Nate Burleson remains to be seen. Burleson, the Lions' No. 2 receiver, broke his arm in a car accident this week.
The Bears could take complete control of the NFC North with a win, which would put them at least two games up on everyone else in the division. To do so, they'll have to handle the crowd better than in that 2011 visit to Detroit — Chicago committed nine false start penalties that day. – Chris Burke
Seattle (3-0) at Houston (2-1) — 1 p.m. ET, FOX: This is an intriguing schematic matchup between teams that see things pretty similarly on both sides of the ball. Houston and Seattle each pass through the run game, with heavy play-action and power zone-blocking schemes that camouflage the occasional liabilities of their pass-protectors. One might have sold this as a Super Bowl preview before the season started.
The Texans are struggling on offense, and there are two injuries that bear watching. Left tackle Duane Brown, who missed the 30-9 loss to the Ravens last Sunday, is still dealing with turf toe, and Baltimore's pass rush pushed around replacement Ryan Harris. Receiver Andre Johnson looks to be a game-time decision with a bruised shin. Given the excellence of Seattle's defense, the decision will most likely be to get Johnson on the field as quickly as possible. The Texans are 2-1, but they're the only winning team in the NFL with a negative point differential, and the wolves have been baring their teeth in Matt Schaub's direction for months.
The Seahawks are starting to get their passing game together after a slow start, though Jacksonville wasn't exactly a stern test last Sunday. Quarterback Russell Wilson ranks eighth in Football Outsiders' opponent-adjusted rankings right now, but he's been erratic at times and he's still looking for consistency with his receivers against better defenses. He'll get all he can handle against J.J. Watt and Houston's furious front seven. Actually, both quarterbacks face pressure more often than they should, and they should each expect more of the same in this game. Watt will look to continue his barrage of batted passes against the 5-foot-11 Wilson, but it's Schaub who has the real problem with that this year — two of his four picks have come off of tips this season, and two have been returned for touchdowns. He's walking into a field full of landmines in Seattle's secondary, which matches physical talent and disguised coverage as well as can be done. – Doug Farrar
New England (3-0) at Atlanta (1-2) — 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC: "We have 13 more opportunities, but we have a long way to go," Falcons wide receiver Roddy White said after his team's disappointing Week 3 loss in Miami. "We have to find a way to win games and win them consecutively."
The Falcons have a terrific opportunity to string a few together right now, with three straight at home followed by trips to Arizona and Carolina. Step 1, however, will be tricky. The 3-0 Patriots are starting to get a little healthier, not to mention that they're coming off an impressive 23-3 win over Tampa Bay. TE Rob Gronkowski could make his 2013 debut Sunday, which would tax an Atlanta pass defense that sits 27th in the league.
New England is not just Tom Brady and 52 random guys, however. The defense, coming off that shutdown of the Bucs, has allowed a mere 34 points in three games — that's less than all but the Seahawks thus far.
Atlanta will counter with an offense that has been inconsistent and banged-up. RB Steven Jackson will miss Sunday's game (and likely several beyond it), while WRs Julio Jones and White both sat out practice Wednesday. Jones and White should play Sunday, meaning Matt Ryan will take to the air frequently against the Patriots' suddenly stout defense.
The return of Gronkowski would be a game-changer for the Patriots, even though Brady finally found a little connection with rookie WRs Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson in Week 3. Gronkowski not only opens up the passing attack, but also his blocking makes life easier for Steven Ridley and the Patriots' backs.
The desperation level will be far more palpable on the Falcons' sideline than that of the Patriots. A Falcons loss could leave them three back at the quarter mark of the season, given that New Orleans has a chance to move to 4-0 on Monday night vs. Miami.
The road is set for Atlanta to orchestrate a quick reversal of fortune. Finding a way past New England would be a sensational start. – CB
Miami (3-0) at New Orleans (3-0) — Monday, 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN: We all know how great Drew Brees is, but the quarterback with the hottest hand in this game might be Ryan Tannehill, who has risen from the shadows of last year's amazing rookie class to transform himself into something pretty special. The light has come on for Tannehill after a streaky rookie campaign, and he's performed very well in three wins over three solid defenses. The challenge New Orleans' defense presents? Well, that could be a bit tougher. Atypically for this team under Sean Payton, defense is leading the way in the Big Easy right now, and Rob Ryan's schemes are the key. He's turned end Cameron Jordan into one of the most effective linemen in the NFL, and rookie safety Kenny Vaccaro is thriving in a system that asks him to play in multiple slots and roles.
Brees will have a couple of advantages against Miami's impressive defense in that linemen Paul Soliai and Cameron Wake are not expected to play. This defense did not manage a sack against the Falcons last week, and Brees will carve any defense up if it doesn't present a consistent pass rush. But giving Brees time to throw has been an issue for the Saints this year because although Brees makes his line look better than it really is, he's already been sacked 10 times in just three games, a primary reason for the offense's relatively slow start. Brees was sacked just 26 times last season.
Right guard Jahri Evans, one of the game's best at his position, saw his 122-game starting streak snapped Sunday due to a hamstring injury. Brees was sacked four times by Arizona, but the offense did start to roll in New Orleans' 31-7 win. Dolphins defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle may have to get seriously creative to disturb Brees. One thing's for sure — Tannehill will see things from Ryan's defense that he hasn't seen before. – DF
The hawks will dominate today and russell will make watt look foolish with pump fakes all day long...Go Hawks!!!!

GroSwaddleRated 4.5/5 based on 14 reviews
Suitable from Birth-3 months
Swaddling is the art of wrapping your baby tightly for warmth and security. It is a useful way of comforting and calming a distressed baby, helping to settle baby to sleep and can stop baby being disturbed by their own startle reflex.
To get the most benefit out of your Grobag swaddling
Many newborns love the gentle pressure and secure feeling of being swaddled. Make sure that you swaddle tightly enough for your baby to feel secure, but not too tight to be constrictive. To check that you have not swaddled your baby too tightly, ensure that you can slide your fingers down the top of the wrap.
Sorry - only available in store

I was very happy with the service.I ordered the item as a present and it arrived very quickly and was just what I was expecting.

Our twins are swaddled every night in these swaddles. They are not too thick, wash well and are easy to use.
By Sam, 29/11/09
Bought this in preparation for new arrival so as yet not tried. However, it appears to be a decent size and great shape making it easier to swaddle rather than fiddling with a normal blanket and folding it all up!.
By J Morgan, 15/11/09
My two babies have both loved being swaddled. This is a good idea, the material is soft and print pretty, however I have found a nice soft and stretchy cotton blanket does just as good a job when you know how to fold it. This might come into it's own with a bigger baby though, when the blanket gets a bit small.
By Jacqui, 09/02/09
Really good, made my son feel nice and snug, as he got bigger though it became harder to keep his arms wrapped up but he is a very wriggly baby, would definately recommend them. I would have bought them for my first son if I had known about them.

BALLOT MEASURES … Seth Cagin and I don't always agree, but I thought his recent editorial about the county's energy sales tax exemption removal for the coming "climate crash" (as First Voices Indigenous Radio calls it), and the Town of Telluride's sin tax on sugary sodas, were spot on … Although I wish the Town had targeted high fructose corn syrup to start with, it's the worst … There's never a good time to ask citizens to hand over more money in taxes for some nebulous common good. But climate crash is hardly nebulous. It's all too real, and starting to collapse systems all too fast. Clearly, we can't expect the federal government to lead. The two party system has become a one party tea fest intending to break the citizens' piggybank with economic brinkmanship. Local government can lead. But only if citizens want us to … If one percent of your energy bill is too much to ask in this current capitalist bust cycle, then you might not support Ballot Issue 1-A. But, to start us on the path to thinking and acting – as First Peoples have always advised us to – for the next seven generations, the measure seems like a small but significant investment in the future … As a Green, I have to ask who wouldn't want to support the chance of a stable, sustainable, resilient millennium to come? We as a nation are already coming late to the problem. At least this starts us acting locally while thinking globally about a changing climate … As for Telluride's tax measure, let me punt (as a Norwoodian) – other than to say that if I lived in Telluride, I'd vote for it (although my youngest son strongly disagrees).
GET ME OUT OF JAIL … Muscular Dystrophy is a group of muscle diseases that weaken the musculoskeletal system and hamper locomotion. The Muscular Dystrophy Association has been raising funds for years to fund research, provide medical and community services, and educate health professionals and the general public … Locally, they've started a fundraiser that's slated to put me behind bars at Brown Dog Pizza in Telluride on Wed., Nov. 6, at high noon – unless you can help me raise bail. A tax-deductible contribution is really what's being asked for … Help me raise money for local and regional MD kids who attend a summer camp each year.

It's the power of overcoming challenges, whatever they may be, that inspire us all.
DRONES … Thank you, Mahala Yousafzai, the Pakistani heroine shot in the head on her school bus by Taliban gunmen, for bravely telling Pres. Obama at a recent meeting she had in the White House that our military's drone assassinations, which have massacred hundreds of innocent citizens (including women and children), are making terrorists of ordinary Pakistani citizens … A wonderful case of talking truth to power.

LEESBURG -- The Lee County softball team is one game closer to .500 after beating TCC on Thursday, 5-1, to move to 9-10 and 1-0 in sub-region play. Erin Callaway picked up the win, allowing just two hits.
Natalie Shiver led Lee with two hits and two runs scored, while Paiton Cromer had a double and 2 RBI and Jamie McPherson was 1-for-3 with a 2 RBI.
Lee's next game is at Bainbridge on Tuesday.
SGA 10, Terrell Academy 2 (6): Bailey Ponder grabs most of the headlines for SGA's softball team, but the Lady Warriors have a sensational eighth-grader who is ripping the ball this season.
SGA coach Tommy Manry says Baylee Everson is one of the best eighth-graders he has ever seen.
"She was hitting .638 before Thursday,'' Manry said.
Then Everson went 3-for-3 with a single, a double and a triple, stole three bases, and drove in two runs.
Manry said Ponder (7-2) "wasn't feeling well," but she still picked up the win in six innings, giving up six hits and walking one. She had just one strikeout.
Haylee Chappell had two hits, including a double, and drove in two runs to help SGA, which is now 9-2 and 4-1 in GISA Region 2-AA. TAE was led by Britany Spilman, who singled, doubled and drove in a run.
SGA plays a doubleheader in Macon against Windsor Academy, beginning at noon on Saturday.
SOUTHLAND 11, Deerfield 3, (5): Kelsey King (1-for-2), Emily Stone (1-for-2) and Sabrina Curry (1-for-3) led Deerfield, which remained winless and next plays at Tiftarea at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
No final stats for Southland were available.

Why Mosquitoes?
Why mosquitoes? Of all the amazing and beautiful rain forest animals to study, why would anyone want to work with this lowly, annoying bug that drives us crazy while sitting on porches on summer evenings? They spread disease, too. Why would anyone want to mess with that?
Sampling Heliconias
My side project for this trip was to study arthropod diversity in two species of heliconia plants. I worked on the project with Riley and Tom. In both species we looked in leaf rolls and in inflorescences of the plant. We unrolled the leaves and dissected the flower. It was interesting as with each opening it was exciting to see what kind of animals we would find. We ended up seeing about 10 species repeatedly, but we had some surprises too.
Travel is Education
By Bethany Christiansen
We are all now back home, having arrived on Monday, bleary-eyed. It's been a long few days, full of travel, packing, unpacking, repacking, and airport-sitting.
We woke early to catch the boat from the CICRA field station to Laberinto, then a bus to the airport, followed by a flight back to Lima. We spent a day and a half in Lima as we pleased, and then we prepared the specimens for their flight back to the U.S.
Sampling the Tastes of Peru
Just prior to leaving for Peru, I was told of the exceptional cuisine that Lima had to offer. Before, I learned about cuy (pronounced "coo-ee") – guinea pig. I imagined it as the staple dish that would be on the menu of every high-end Peruvian restaurant. It's apparently not that meal and is, in fact, an Andean animal and is served in restaurants nearer the mountains. Instead, I've found that there are a lot of other amazing tastes this country has to offer.
Like Moths around a Flame
Several days ago I came across two primate specialists in the forest. One was wearing a loudspeaker on her head that was emitting monkey calls (calls of the saddle-backed tamarin, I believe). This got me to thinking about the ways we stretch to get our data, to study animal and plant behavior, to collect specimens, and to document the comings and goings of species. It's hard work that demands a staggering array of equipment from a butterfly net to a portable mass spectrometer. It also requires smart, fit, capable, adaptable people with highly specialized training and lots of imagination.
My good fortune finally ran out. Up until Sunday evening I had experienced very little turbulence on this trip: the airplane flights were uneventful, in Lima I ate multiple things I probably shouldn't have, they but didn't cause any issues, I experienced maybe one mosquito bite, and I hadn't suffered any physical injuries. Then Sunday night came, and I caught up on my suffering.
Tree Form
The last few days have been the most interesting. Daily walks have familiarized us to the rain forest, and we now know where to look for certain types of bugs, birds, reptiles, etc. All of us have a far better understanding of where certain insects might live within a rain forest, and we can really look for what we want. I've been looking for insects. A caterpillar, an ant infected with corticepts, a weevil, leafcutter ants, army ants, scarab beetles, and butterflies have all spent time at the business end of my camera.
No Stinger, No Problem
During our second full day out at the CICRA research station in the rain forest, a few of us went out with Caroline and Dan, her colleague in her research in Amazonia Peru, to the area where they collect data. Dan walked Joe, Tom, and Caroline, and I around the plot, showing us what has happened since Caroline's last visit.
Learning to See
A few days ago I hiked through the forest for the first time covered in DEET. I swatted at every insect that came near me. Finally I conceded that I did come to the rainforest with an entomologist. I was going to have to touch some bugs. About halfway through I got my vial out and started catching beetles. Every time I caught a beetle I'd ask Dr. Chaboo, "What kind is this?" it turns out that, each time, I had caught a chrysomelid, her specialty. I wondered how she could tell what kind were chrysomelids. They all looked different to me. After lunch we had our first art lesson.

Samba is a software suite that provides file and print services to
SMB/CIFS clients, such as Microsoft Windows platforms. For more
information see:
Remote exploitation of an input validation error in Samba allows an
attacker to crash the Samba nmbd server. The nmbd is a server, typically
listening on UDP port 138, understands and can reply to NetBIOS over IP
name service requests, and participates in the browsing protocols that
comprise the Windows "Network Neighborhood" view. Due to an input
validation error, a malformed UDP packet can cause the nmbd server to
crash while attempting to access memory outside of what is available.
The vulnerability specifically exists in the process_logon_packet()
function when it handles a SAM_UAS_CHANGE request. Part of this packet
contains a count of the number of structures that follow. No check is
made against the length of the packet to determine whether it is
possible to have as many structures in it as it claims. If a large value
is supplied, but a small number of structures are supplied, nmbd will
reference memory outside of the packet it has been supplied. This may
cause the nmbd process to crash.
The following is a trace of exploitation, showing the server no longer
responding to an nmblookup. The nmblookup tool is used to query NetBIOS
names and map them to IP addresses.
sh-2.05b$ nmblookup -A 10.1.0.240
Looking up status of 10.1.0.240
MYGROUP <1b> - B <ACTIVE>
MYGROUP <1c> - B <ACTIVE>
MYGROUP <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
sh-2.05b$ ./n 10.1.0.240 138 fedora1
Samba 3.x nmbd remote DoS exploit (0day)
Attacking 10.1.0.240:138 ..
Done, nmbd should be killed now.
sh-2.05b$ nmblookup -A 10.1.0.240
Looking up status of 10.1.0.240
This vulnerability is only exploitable if the daemon has been configured
to process domain logons. This vulnerability does not allow arbitrary
code execution. When the nmbd process dies, it no longer returns
information about the server, and the host is no longer accessible by
referencing its name.
iDEFENSE has confirmed Samba 3.0.2 is vulnerable. Analysis of the
source suggests that version 3.0.4 is also vulnerable. Samba 2.x does
not include the affected code and, therefore, is not affected by this
vulnerability. The line 'domain logons = yes' must also occur in
smb.conf for this issue to be exploitable. Note that removal of this
line from the configuration file, although it will prevent exploitation,
may also affect the Samba server's functionality.
The vendor has confirmed that Samba 3.0.x prior to and including v3.0.6
are vulnerable.
iDEFENSE is currently unaware of any effective workarounds for this
issue. Removal of the line "domain logons = yes" from the smb.conf file
for the server will prevent exploitation but may also affect the Samba
server's functionality.
The patch file for Samba 3.0.5 addressing [the] bug
(samba-3.0.5-DoS.patch) can be downloaded from:
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
names CAN-2004-0808 to these issues. This is a candidate for inclusion
in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for
security problems.

mistaken lesbian
May 09, 2008 07:25 AM »
I have come to a realization unfortunately now when I need to be asleep,is my office mate might think I am a lesbian.
I know one time,and other times I had a sense,that this is a thought others have had.
it makes me sad because I feel like I am so different I don't fit into a community.
some of the reasons that people might think this(muslim and non):
I am not married, do not have a boyfriend/fiancee
I don't talk about wanting to be with a guy or how a guy is hot
I am an engineer (and a phd on top of that)
I don't wear makeup
my fashion sense needs help
I have practiced martial arts
I weight lift
my eyebrows need help (i try
I don't feel any of these things should define you as lesbian, but it is just frustrating. I know I shouldn't care what others think, but the fact I am an anomoly to both world views makes it hard (basically everyone thinks u r strange).
also because I have struggled with finding a job & no ease in finding a husband.
can anyone relate? how do you deal with this?

MashaAllah, you are great marriage material, rest assured! Brothers like me would do anything to contact your wali. But i'm already and habbily married so i'll let other brothers to ask sis jannah for your wali's contact inshaAllah.
Wasalam and good luck.

kba i suggest you make some comments about colin firth drop every so often
or even be candid about your own personal life. i remember when i was working i knew the ppl around me were burning with curiosity but of course being american they are polite and never asked. so one day i brought it up...ie like how did you and your wife meet something like that and then i volunteered my own sad personal life, but they nodded and understood and years ago one of them even went on a muslim matrimonial site with me for fun one day lol. it helps sometimes when your non-muslim friends are sympathetic about your single status while your muslim ones are not.

Well you me both then.
Currently in the process of becoming unmarried....
I'm so not into men it's untrue..altho they have their uses, taking out the rubbish, carrying heavy stuff etc
Don't do make up, skin too sensistive, and I'd far rather get a couple of hours extra sleep than paint my face, I find it fascinating when other women do it.
Don't do eyebrows either
Martial arts, check! btw what do you do?? It's a fun way of keeping fit, and I sleep so much better after hapkido classes.
Weight lifintg errrmmmm does lugging around bags of groceries count?? I also carry the odd petulant child who has decided to sit slap banf in the middle of the road...because frankly she feels like it!!!
Ok so you have one up on me for the engineering thing..
Don't be so hard on yourself, until a few days ago one of the women I work with was convinced that I only had the one dress (being my abaya), she was utterly shocked I wore *gasp* clothes beneath my abaya and stylish ones at that!!!... people will think and then think some more, ignore, or if they are very rude and say something to you, correct their misconceptions.
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. Surah 2 Verse 186

After reading and thinking, I think I will tell my co-worker (we share an office & I dont want her to think I will come on to her or something stupid like that). Like I will just say hey on Thursday when you said such and such, I realized later you might think I'm a lesbo and I wanted to correct you and explain my situation.
With other co-workers if they bring up their personal lives, I could say yeah I have been hooked up yet with a mozlem bro and if they ask questions then answer.
So I think in Muslim (I speak of cultural) and non muslim societies, they both do have definitions of what a women is, what her role is and what she should act like. If you do not conform to that, people will then say you might be a lesbian.
I know other ladies who are athletic, and men can be very intimidated, especially when they know she could beat them up if she wanted to. Then the whole engineering thing considered a male field (and well it is male dominated). Yeah I realize many women wear makeup, I dont have anything against it, I share the same sentiment that I am just way to lazy and I really want my sleep. I am also really lazy to shop and then coordinate what I wear.
yeah I need to talk about Jane Austen more, and Colin Firth being my ideal or something. lol
I used to practice TKD. I want to pick up something else, so have been thinking of what to do that wont be too time consuming. so in the meantime I have been doing something called Crossfit which incorporates weight lifting.
Hard2Hit: Are you sure? I would say 99% of bros, when they know any of this they freak out. I think the weightlifting thing scares more than the martial arts. Having the "higher" degree also seems to really intimidate. Then yeah I am getting older

As salaamu alaikum
I haven't worn make-up in forever but it never took me more than 10-15 minutes to apply since it's not about painting your face like so many of the clowns I've seen but rather about enhancing one's features.
Sadly yes men are intimidated by empowered intellectual women. And even sadder people do think it strange if a woman doesn't have a boyfriend; my non-Muslim friends are really no help as they keep trying to convince me to go out clubbing with them rather than complain about being alone ..... uh huge problem with the whole club scene... don't want to be around a bunch of drunken fools who think it's okay to touch. No matter what you say or do people are going to think what they want to think about whomever they want to think it about. So unless they are making you uncomfortable let them think what they want; they will be the ones wearing egg on their faces in the end.

Dude, I heard that from 7th grade (when i informed everyone that i do not have a crush on anyone in my class, and a girl asked me if I was "a lesbian or something hahahaha"), all the way to 1st year university when a guy asked me out and I said, "sorry I don't do that." And he was like really apologetic, "oh I'm so sorry, are you a lesbian?"
(This also shows how the attitude changed towards homosexuality during that 8yr period, or alterntively, how cruel kids can be, or alternatively how university is the coolest intitution on the face of the planet.)
I think the best thing to do is to applaud yourself...you are not a woman openly discussing unmarried or marriage angst to anyone. Hallelujah.
Colin Firth wallpaper wouldn't hurt either

Sr JO, you were mistaken, the guy was trying to temper his own feelings.
See in his mind he was so wonderful, only a lesbian would turn him down....tis a very common reaction.
There used to be a very stinky guy at work, he had no social life possibly due to his lack of personal hygiene, possibly due to his lack of personality, possibly due to both. Anyway he invited someone to lunch and she went, because she felt sorry for him, when he made a pass at her she hastened to inform him she was taken....so dude promptly goes round the building telling people she was gay
Right yeeeees that's it thats why you cant get a date, every woman on the planet is gay!!!

It seems society is very into relationships especially the haram kind, that if you aren't actively seeking or are in one, something might be "wrong" with you.
I agree, some guys seem to have that thinking, their egos are so big, they think if you don't like them or aren't after them, maybe you are gay. whatever. or they just get mad.

Egos are meant to be (gently) crushed since I don't like arrogant people. Usually the ones that are that "full of themselves" have nothing to offer; they are all talk and no action. I work with one just like that; the man is clueless and incompetent but thinks because of his title and his salary he can get anyone he wants. Oh I had so much fun bringing him down a few pegs so he knows not to try with me.

Salam sisters,
I have the same question Black Rose posed: Why not use this opportunity to inform others of the different ways you observe and practice your faith (not to mention respect yourself)? When I am with friends who are not Muslim, who want to go out to a restaurant where liquor could potentially make its way on our table, I tell them why I do not want to go to a place like that. Or, if I am at someone's house for the first time -- a new friend or colleague -- who do not know Muslims do not drink alcohol (at least this one doesn't), I simply say that I don't drink. They may think I'm in recovery if I didn't explain it to them. I haven't had anyone look at me funny, yet, or try to change me or disinvite me next time.
I think somewhere, inshallah, is a bro that will respect and be awed by your intellect, your true beauty, and your athleticism. Mashallah, you seem to have it all. Just be patient -- with the bros and with your officemate. And yes, try not to be so hard on yourself. I wouldn't explain anything that isn't true....explain what is.

I realized I was wrong about my co-worker thinking I was a lesbian. She has some idea about the no dating, I think if the topic comes up again, I will try to explain my situation in more detail, how I can't date and go out and meet people as easily.
So far people know I don't drink alcohol and choose to eat zabiha or kosher meat.
Thanks for the encouragement. I need to be patient and not so down on myself. It is hard when you do not feel like you fit in and are an anomaly. The fact that my job sorta sucks in general does not help either.. but I am glad for a salary and benefits.
In the meantime I will continue with the weights/martial arts stuff. I don't want to change myself in order to fit someone else's standards.

To be honest unless a female said she is not interested in you or a male tried to set you up with his sister, I think it is in your head and not in other peoples.
I have thought some women are lesbians without being explicitly told, but that was because they had shaven heads, wore steal toe capped boots and great big manly leather jackets. I have never thought anyone was a lesbian for the reasons you mentioned.
And unless you posed by flexing your muscles or demonstrated your martial arts skills, No one would know what sort of body you have under your jilbab?
I know this one brother who got married and had to divorce his wife straight after the wedding night because he found she was pregnant.
So you might know your body, but that doesn't mean anyone else does.
I don't think anyone would assume a lady in Hijab/Niqab is a lesbian, even if she doesn't wear makeup and have boyfriends.
That's because the overwhelming majority of ladies in Hijab/Niqab don't have boyfriends or wear makeup in front of non-Mohram males.
There is a lot of things they might assume about you such as oppression, extremism or ignorant, but lesbians is definitely not one of them.
But lesbians aside:
A lot of males, not just brothers feel intimidated by mescaline women. And even when they are not intimidated in the slightest, few find them attractive. I'm not saying this is right, what I am saying is it is a fact.
Few men want a wife, older, richer, better educated, stronger, taller, and larger because they assume that would mean she would be more dominant.
I'm not saying that is right, just that that is a fact.
What do men look for in a spouse?
Men look for beauty good looks, attractiveness and being well proportioned. That's it.
Loads of sisters and a few brothers are going to have a go at me about my statement, but don't waste you breath, because you'd be preaching to the converted. My wife is better educated than me and I don't think she is as attractive as me.
Did I see her education as a positive thing before the marriage?
To be honest with you, I didn't.
I married her because she wore Niqab and all but one of the other people who proposed to me didn't wear Hijab properly or at all (they just came up with that old excuse, I'd do it after marriage if you tell me). The Husband is one of the men cursed if a lady doesn't wear Hijab, and I have enough sins as it is so I chose to one that covers her hair properly.
But speaking of Marriage. I was delegated to find husbands for older sisters a couple of times. I'm never going to agree to it again, because they are so picky. That one is too old, that one is too young, that one isn't educated enough, that one hasn't got a red passport, that one is black and my kids are scared of them etc. So it isn't always a case of men refusing to marry older, educated women, some of those women don't really want to marry men; they might want to marry an imaginary man in their minds. But that guy in their minds doesn't really exist. And they refuse to accept that he doesn't exist, and reject all the men they are shown with the excuse that they are not the non-existent man they are waiting for.

Parliament must sign off on the Cabinet decision, but Prime Minister Mark Rutte's two-party coalition has a comfortable majority in the 150-seat lower house, so the vote is expected to be a formality.
The Dutch decision comes a day after Germany agreed to send two Patriot batteries and troops to Turkey's southern border with Syria at NATO's request.
The Western alliance approved sending the weapons to prevent cross-border attacks against Turkey after mortar rounds and shells from Syria killed five Turks.
"It is very restive along the border, with escalating violence and the risk that it could spill over into neighboring countries," Timmermans told reporters after the Cabinet meeting.
Timmermans said a maximum of 360 Dutch troops will also be sent to operate the Patriot systems in a yearlong deployment.

Epiphytes, Birds, and Coffee: More Tropical Connections
Epiphytes are plants that spend much or all of their lives attached to other plants. Some of our favorite ornamental plants are epiphytic, including some bromeliads, cacti, and orchids.
True epiphytes should not be confused with parasitic plants, such as mistletoes, which absorb water and minerals from the tree they live on. While epiphytes are generally benign (using the tree for support only), parasitic plants may eventually weaken or even kill their host.
Epiphytes are particularly prominent in moist tropical forests and have long fascinated tropical biologists. As an ornithologist, my research focuses on the resources that the epiphytes provide to birds and how their presence contributes to avian diversity.
For example, hummingbirds (and other birds) pollinate many epiphytic bromeliads when visiting them for nectar. Birds, such as the band-backed wren of central Veracruz, Mexico, use bromeliad seeds, which have silky filaments designed for wind dispersal, to line their nests. Some birds build their nests inside epiphyte clumps, which may give them extra concealment from predators. Other birds eat the fruits of epiphytic cacti, aroids and bromeliads, or look for insects inhabiting these plants.
Epiphytes are not only very common plants in humid tropical forests, but they can also be abundant in some agroecosystems, such as shade coffee farms. Because many birds that migrate to the tropics spend the winter in tropical habitats such as forests and coffee plantations, the livelihood of many of our favorite local birds can be linked to the presence and health of tropical epiphytes.
However, because of the increasingly common practice of epiphyte removal in agroforestry systems such as coffee farms, this link is threatened. Early in our research on the use of coffee farms by birds, we discovered that farmers commonly remove epiphytes from the shade trees because they believe that all epiphytes harm their host tree. They also think that if they remove epiphytes, the coffee shrubs might get more sunlight and therefore bear more fruit.
Based on studies correlating the presence of epiphytes with local bird species richness, we believed that removal of epiphytes could have a large negative affect on overall bird diversity. Also, the distribution of epiphytes might be an indicator of general microclimatic conditions or management practices. Obviously, a true assessment of the effect of epiphyte removal on bird diversity requires direct experimentation.
The most feasible approach is the direct removal of epiphytes from experimental plots within the coffee agroecosystem, a process that could require a tremendous amount of labor. For this reason, this approach had never been tried before in any tropical habitat.
We were able to accomplish this daunting task by taking advantage of the desire of a coffee farmer in Coatepec, Mexico, to remove epiphytes on his farm and the availability of relatively inexpensive labor. We needed only to convince the farmer to carry out his epiphyte removal in a pattern consistent with our experimental design, to compensate the workers, and to provide ladders and a small chain saw for them to complete the work.
These farm workers then proceeded to scramble through all of the shade trees and remove all epiphytes in two three-hectare plots (a little more than seven acres). We then compared these plots with other control plots, in which epiphytes were not removed.
Within these epiphyte and non-epiphyte plots, we monitored the number of bird species (diversity) and the number of individual birds (abundance). At first, we were surprised to find about the same number of species in plots with and without epiphytes. But upon closer inspection, we found profound differences in the patterns of abundance in the common species.

For example, 18 species of birds were more abundant in the plots with epiphytes, while only three species were more abundant in the plots without epiphytes. When we examined the ecological characteristics of the species associated with epiphytes, we discovered that these species used epiphytes for nesting or feeding and thus were greatly affected by their removal.
This was the case, for example, among some resident birds—two bromeliad-pollinating hummingbirds (White-bellied Emerald and Wedge-tailed Hummingbirds) and three epiphyte-nesting tanagers (The Common Bush-tanager, White-winged Tanager, and Yellow-throated Euphonia).
But upon further inspection, we found a more puzzling result. Some species that do not use epiphytes in any way turned out to be more common in the plot with epiphytes. This is true for some of the migratory species from the north, such as the Olive-sided Flycatcher, Solitary Vireo, Blackburnian and Tennessee warblers, Summer Tanager, and Baltimore and Orchard orioles.
We also found this phenomenon in certain understory breeding birds (Spot-breasted Wren, Golden-crowned Warbler, and Rusty Sparrow) and two resident non-breeding flycatchers (the Greater Pewee and Tufted Flycatcher).
In all, 11 common species showed a statistical association with epiphytes yet there was no evidence that they directly use epiphytes for feeding or nesting.
Benjamin Lorr from Columbia University also worked on our experimental plots. He found that epiphyte removal reduced canopy cover and soil moisture and increased stem-flow and through-fall. Thus, more water was getting to the ground in less time, but it evaporated or ran overland faster. This might translate into sudden changes in the microclimate of the coffee plantation, which could affect birds as well.
This change in microclimate and run-off would affect ground nesters differentially and, hence, would explain the declines in Golden-crowned Warblers and Rusty Sparrows. The change in microclimate could have other indirect effects on the abundance and diversity of arthropods, such as insects and spiders, which could in turn affect some insectivorous birds.
In a parallel study, we fogged canopy trees with insecticides and found that epiphyte removal caused a marked decline in some groups of insects heavily used by birds (such as Lepidoptera - moths and butterflies). These overall changes in insect abundance could account for declines in birds that do not forage in epiphytes such as Olive-sided Flycatcher, Solitary Vireo, Blackburnian and Tennessee warblers, Summer Tanager, Baltimore and Orchard orioles.
In addition, greater canopy openness as a consequence of epiphyte removal may increase the ability of potential predators to detect birds. Finally, some other birds may have preferred plots with epiphytes simply because they more closely resemble a forest in their structure.
One other indirect consequence of epiphyte removal is that the canopy becomes demonstrably more open, allowing more light to reach ground level. In areas where epiphytes have been removed, weeds become more abundant.
This could explain why granivorous (seed eating) species such as Indigo Bunting and Painted Bunting were more common in the plots without epiphytes. However, weeds are a temporary resource in coffee plantations, since they are removed quite often from the understory.
With this experiment we learned that epiphytes are an important resource for birds. They not only provide a wide variety of resources such as food and nest materials, but also play a role in microclimate regulation, and offer refuge and cover to the inhabitant fauna. It is worth noting that we have found no published data to support the supposed agronomic benefits of removing epiphytes.
It appears that farmers could save time, money, and birds by not removing epiphytes from the shade trees on their coffee farms.

I've recently been looking at what makes chords what, and hence my first target for this was looking at major, minor, sus2, and sus4 chords. I know major chords are made up of the first, the third, and the fifth of the scale, and from memory I think that minor chords are the same as major chords, apart from the interval to the third is a minor third (hence the resultant chord has it's third of the scale one semitone flattened).
Suspended chords (sus2 and sus4) however are arousing a bit of confusion from my end. I can see that in sus2 chords the third is brought down to the second, and in sus4 chords that the third is brought up to the fourth. Presumably this would explain the '2' and '4' in the name - but that leaves me questioning the 'sus' portion of their name. I remember that intervals in scales and also be suspended (EDIT: Whoops! I remembered wrongly and was thinking of diminished, so I guess the intervals I talk of aren't anything to do with the chords after all, however my question of the origins still stands) or augmented, I however can't remember what makes an interval 'sus' or 'aug', hence I can't try and make a connection between these intervals and the 'sus' and 'aug' chords.
What's up with the 'sus' in the name of sus2 and sus4 chords? Is it simply as I'm describing and the 'sus' is just the way the names are, or does it have something to do with suspended intervals?

Summary of The World Is Fat Summary of The World Is Fat Reviews for The World Is Fat An Excerpt from The World Is Fat
A compelling look at the global trends that have led to today's obesity crisis
The planet's 1.6 billion overweight people by far outnumber the 700 million who are undernourished. This figure would have seemed ludicrous just fifty years ago. As a result of unprecedented trends in technology, globalization, government policy, and the food industry that are changing how we eat, drink, and move, we now live in a world populated by overweight people with debilitating health problems.
In this fascinating look at the striking changes in both our lifestyles and food system since World War II, Barry Popkin shows how present options for eating and drinking- especially when combined with a dramatic reduction in physical activity-are clashing with millions of years of evolution to fatten the human race. Popkin argues that widespread obesity-and the chronic health problems that contribute to the bulk of deaths in the world-is less a result of poor dietary choices than about a hi-tech, interconnected world in which governments and multinational corporations have extraordinary power to shape our everyday lives.

Sunday was the last day for patients at two nursing homes in Wake County to find a new place to live.
WakeMed is closing two skilled nursing centers as it lays off 97 employees to save money. The facilities are in Fuquay-Varina and Zebulon.
After WakeMed made the announcement in August, the 50 patients staying at the facilities were given until Sept. 8 to find a new home on their own.
WakeMed said it would find new facilities for any remaining patients after the eighth. WNCN stopped by both facilities, and nurses said only one or two patients were still living at the Fuquay-Varina location.
"This decision was one of the hardest decisions we'd ever have to do," said Elaine Rohlik, WakeMed's executive director for rehabilitation and trauma services.
Rohlik said the employees will be given the opportunity to apply for other positions at WakeMed.
"We believe almost everybody who wants to stay within WakeMed's system will have a job. We've held jobs over several weeks thinking that this was imminent," explained Rohlik.
Most of the cuts come from closing a nursing home in Fuquay-Varina that houses 36 people. The patients, who are unable to care for themselves and range in age from 23 to about 90, will be moved to other facilities.
"We're going to be helping patients and their family members get through the shock of this first," said Rohlik.
Closing the home in Fuquay-Varina and the one in Zebulon will save $4 million, Rohlik said. The Zebulon center has 14 patients.
WakeMed said it will officially end operations on Sept. 30. A sign on the door says outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy will still continue at the Zebulon facility.
The hospital system expects to lose about $15 million in the fiscal year that ends next month. WakeMed said changes in state and federal policies will cost about $23 million in lost revenue in the coming year.
Some of those being laid off are part-time employees.
WakeMed has about 8,500 employees.

text: The Washington Huskies needed to get well after being routed last week at LSU and they took it out on Portland State, beating the Vikings, 52-13, at CenturyLink Field. The Vikings got off to a bad start, but take consolation in battling hard to the end and a 13-7 scoring advantage in the second half. Big Sky Conference play does not begin until next Saturday and that is when the truly important part of the PSU season begins.
