Chelsea can do the double - Obi Mikel's all fired up
Chelsea cannot afford to wallow in Wednesday night's 2-0 defeat if they are to beat Liverpool in tomorrow's FA Cup final at Wembley and stay on course for one of their greatest ever seasons.
Chelsea cannot afford to wallow in Wednesday night's 2-0 defeat if they are to beat Liverpool in tomorrow's FA Cup final at Wembley and stay on course for one of their greatest ever seasons.
Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher intends to enjoy tomorrow's FA Cup final as he admits he does not know how many big matches are left in his career.
Wembley encounters with Everton have a tendency to leave Kenny Dalglish nursing a sore head. He was accidentally nutted by a supporter while resisting attempts to chair him from the field after the 1989 FA Cup final, and left with blood running down his face. On Saturday, it was questions he was running from. Dalglish was cornered in the press theatre and it did not feel much like a victor holding court as he fumbled behind him for the door handle.
Tottenham Hotspur 1 Chelsea 5: It was a frantic, fiery, no-holds-barred kind of FA Cup semi-final between two clubs that cannot stand the idea of one another and two teams whose form has soared and dipped this season. Such a pity it will be remembered for a stupid refereeing mistake that should could so easily have been avoided.
Harry Redknapp revealed last night that referee Martin Atkinson admitted to him in the aftermath of Spurs' 5-1 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea that he had made a huge mistake in allowing Juan Mata's "ghost goal" to stand.
Fresh coffee on the brew? Cut flowers on show? Clutter put in storage to make the place look big? It is to be assumed the Football Association used all the traditional methods of selling a home to Harry Redknapp when he came to look around Wembley last night. But for the authentic experience of being an England manager they had to rely on the certainty of Martin Atkinson.
If sport is all about winning, then Juande Ramos, Christian Gross and Claudio Ranieri are all better managers than David Moyes. They have each won trophies of some sort. Moyes has not.
"It felt like it was unique, it had the feeling that Merseyside had moved to north London for the day."
Tottenham Hotspur 3 Bolton Wanderers 1: After all the emotion, the match, but no great romantic tale. However much of a tonic victory for Bolton Wanderers might have been for Fabrice Muamba, still in hospital just a few miles away, it would to be brutally honest have been footballing larceny.
Bolton look set to go ahead with their home game against Blackburn in the Premier League on Saturday and are also likely to play the re-arranged FA Cup match with Tottenham, probably next Tuesday.
Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has spoken of Fabrice Muamba's "brave fight" as the player remained critically ill following a cardiac arrest.
Bolton skipper Kevin Davies believes questions about the club's continued participation in the FA Cup are irrelevant whilst Fabrice Muamba remains critically ill in hospital.
Chelsea 5 Leicester City 2: No goals for 150 days, then two in 17 minutes. Even London bus passengers do not experience periods of drought and plenty to the extreme Fernando Torres has since joining Chelsea a turbulent 14 months ago.
Liverpool 2 Stoke City 1: There is a field of daffodils on Stanley Park and, during the walk past it toward the stadium, a Scouse voice called out: "Bloody hell, it's Mother's Day; they should all have gone by now."
Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba is showing "small signs of improvement" but remains "critically ill", according to the London Chest Hospital.
Gareth Bale says Tottenham's Premier League slump will count for nothing when they take on Bolton in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final.
Tottenham Hotspur 3 Stevenage 1: Harry Redknapp had said that Jermain Defoe needed to take his first-team chances at Tottenham. All he can do is score when picked.
Liverpool 6 Brighton & Hove Albion 1: Brighton became the first visiting side since Arsenal in 2007 to score four times at Anfield, although the goals were not necessarily in the right net.
Middlesbrough 1 Sunderland 2 (aet): Apparently going out of the FA Cup on penalties is as cruel as it gets; try then, falling to your local rivals from the league above with half a team, seven minutes from the end of extra-time in a replay.
Sheffield Wednesday 0 Blackpool 3: An 11th goal in as many matches from 20-year-old winger Matt Phillips set Blackpool on course for a comfortable win in last night's FA Cup replay, earning Ian Holloway's side a trip to Everton in the fifth round.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall described the decision to rule out Marcelo Bosch's try just before half-time as a "game-changer" as they saw their LV= Cup hopes dashed by Northampton at Franklin's Gardens.
Scotland head coach Scott Johnson refused to point the finger of blame at stand-off Duncan Weir after his blunder cut the legs away from an impressive Dark Blues display against France.
Ireland can face down history and sweep to RBS 6 Nations title glory in Paris next weekend, according to Brian O'Driscoll.
World number one Tiger Woods made his move on day three of the WGC-Cadillac Championship with an impressive round of 66 to put himself right back in contention.

Retro Sidescroller Shooter. Kill enemies, buy guns and upgrade your character!
4.05 / 5.00 55,768 Views====!!!IMPORTANT!!!====
If your PC is slower than 2GHz you'd better to go to options screen and turn Blood Says and Interactive Enviroment off and turn Simple Shells on. Also, set music volume to maximum.
Cool 2D shooter with great physics. Shot your enemies, blow 'em with a grenade, make a fast moving cart smash them, or just drop a box on their heads. Face 11 types of enemies and break through 22 levels of fun.
Ok a shooter...
Why don't we attack? We do? So why doesn't the guy die? And where is the gun?
In this game (as in original Half-Life) you shold run away from metrocops until Barney will give you a crowbar. Then you'll be able to kill an enemy and take his gun (there're 8 guns + grenades).
I think it should be blammed and for good!!!!
Dude to slow the only thing that will be best for is boringness i just sit there walking slowly along killling things that would be fun BUT ITS NOT r u an idiot u took the fun out of killing things >=l now i h8 u
Sorry man!
Sorry, but you submission had a pretty fine basic idea, the physics are fine, but actually... it made no fun to play :/
for example the fight view was far to concentrated on one site so it was hard enough to defeat one of those roof slime pyramids with thos tentacle.
its hard to aim if you vie is all the time changed while aiming for an enemy on the sae vertical position like yourself.
so, improof some things,like this, for example, everything a bit faster and this would make a nice game!
that was great
i wasn't looking at the clock, but it felt like i was playing for a long time... and that doesn't usually happen with flash games. the only things you could really improve on would be to maybe have some background music, and maybe a boss at the end, although having said that, it WAS a relief when i got to the end with almost no ammunition to find i'd killed everyone; i was trying to shoot that last guy with the sign for a long time, haha, imagine how foolish i felt wen i realiazed you couldnt :P. anyway, top game, i reckon for its great time value its 5-worthy. and to everyone who's complaining that theres no story, i think the whole point of this was to give freeman a backstory, and im positive that not every single millisecond of his pre-half life 'life' was exciting. good game keep it up :D.
The title pretty much explains it all. I just walked around for the first 5 minutes and got bored. It's a shame because Half-life 2's a really great game and even more importantly a EXCITING and FUN game 2 things this was lacking,

On the money: Play your cards right to turn tables on the banks
Related Articles
Published: 26 March 2013
Britain's banks might be offering the stingiest ISA interest rates in years this spring, but borrowers are benefiting from some of the cheapest and longest credit-card deals on record.
Availability of balance transfer credit cards, where customers can switch old debts to a new card and there are no or low interest charges, has risen from 52 cards on the market in 2009 to 73 today.
"Borrowers looking to pay down expensive credit-card debts have never had so much choice," says Andrew Hagger of Moneycomms.co.uk. Tesco Bank shot to the top of the best-buy tables last week after launching a balance transfer deal stretching over 25 months — only for Barclaycard to steal the position hours later with its Platinum Card allowing borrowers to defer paying interest for 26 months.
Other deals include Halifax — offering 25 months — and Nationwide, which gives borrowers 20 months without paying interest. Santander has a 17-month 0% interest deal.
Given that the average interest rate on a standard credit card is now 18.1%, borrowers who switch to a 0% deal can make significant savings.
Shifting £3000 debt to that Barclaycard Platinum credit card would save £1177 in interest over the 26 months. But there are other costs involved. Fees are charged as a percentage of the total loan, usually between 2% and 3%. Barclaycard's Platinum card has 3.5% for a 26-month deal.
"So if you borrowed £3000 interest free with Barclaycard, your only cost would be the £105 (3.5%) balance transfer fee," says Hagger. "Paying off £119.42 per month for 26 months, the balance and fee would be cleared with no interest charges to pay. But if you wanted to clear a £3000 balance on a card at 18.1% in 26 months, you'd have to pay £139 per month — working out £509 more expensive than the other card."
Barclaycard also allows customers to avoid paying interest on any credit-card purchases for the first six months, while Tesco and Halifax do the same for half that time.
But watch out: some banks won't let customers shift debts within the same group — MBNA, for example, covers other brands such as AA and Virgin Atlantic credit cards. Halifax and Bank of Scotland, and RBS and NatWest have the same policy.
Always try to pay off debts during the interest-free period, as rates soar at the end. At the very least, meet the minimum payments.
"If you exceed your limit or miss a monthly payment, card providers use this as a handy get-out clause to terminate the introductory promotional deal on the spot," Hagger warns.
Some borrowers could also struggle to secure the deals. "You will need very good credit record to get the best deals," Hagger adds.
"And if yours doesn't meet the criteria, you may be offered a shorter 0% deal, possibly a higher interest rate and also a fairly small credit limit. Others will find applications declined."
Borrowers in that boat could secure cheap loans or low-interest-rate credit cards. The current cheapest plastic is Sainsbury's Bank, charging 6.9%.
"Rate for life" credit cards from MBNA, at 5.9% interest until they are repaid, and AA credit cards, which are at 6.9% until repaid, offer the certainty of a fixed rate for as long as it takes to clear the transferred balance.

Greensburg —
A Shelbyville woman accused of having sex with a 13-year-old boy is behind bars, facing two counts of child molestation.
According to an Affidavit of Probable Cause filed Wednesday in the Decatur Circuit Court, Hannah Jo Stuart, 22, was arrested Thursday by Westport Town Marshals on charges she engaged in sexual acts with a teenage boy in the spring of 2012. The alleged incidents were said to occur on two separate occasions, according to Charging Information filed Wednesday. Both offenses are classified as class "B" felonies.
Prior to her arrest, the suspect met with law enforcement officials and the Department of Child Services and is alleged to have admitted to one of the acts, which involved sexual intercourse with the boy in a residence located in Forest Hill.
Evidence from the case led to the issuance of an arrest warrant Thursday.
Preliminarily held without bail, a surety bond in the amount of $20,000 was issued Friday by Circuit Court Judge Tim Day, at Stuart's Initial Hearing. The court entered a preliminary plea of not guilty on Stuart's behalf Friday.
Public defender Steven Teverbaugh was appointed to represent Stuart in her criminal trial, which is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Sept. 3. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Douglas Brown will represent the state in the case.

The suburban stillness of the comfortable, two-storey homes in west London's Mortlake neighbourhood is broken only by the roar of jets thundering overhead on the final approach to Heathrow Airport.
It's a pleasant place, with easy connections into central London, generally free of crime and congestion.
That changed early on a sunny Sunday morning in September when a man from Africa literally fell from the sky and landed with a loud thud onto the sidewalk of Portman Avenue, half a block from a convenience store, an upscale lingerie boutique, and a shop selling Chinese herbal remedies.
In the hours after the crumpled body was found, as early risers were getting up to walk their dogs, get the papers, or go to church, police thought the man was a murder victim.
But it was soon determined that he had been a stowaway who fell from a passenger plane when it lowered its landing gear directly above Portman Avenue.
"It was scary, there was a body on the street, and nobody knew at first that he had fallen from a plane," neighbour Stephanie Prudhomme said. "There were police everywhere."
The identity of the man remains a mystery three months later. He carried no identification, but police believe he may have been from Angola. They are asking the public to help identify the man, whose death has traumatised the neighbourhood.
Some heard the noise on impact; others were alarmed when they opened their doors and saw a crumpled badly disfigured body lying on the street.
Some didn't know anything was amiss until the police and an ambulance arrived, followed by homicide detectives.
Police came to believe the man stowed away on a passenger jet bound from the African nation of Angola to London, only to die en route and then fall when the landing gear opened — an occurrence that is rare but not unheard of.
"There is great sadness," said Catherine Lambert, who lives a few doors down from the spot where the man landed. "To think that the end of the line for him is a suburban street, miles away from his world."
The event shattered the neighbourhood's sense of being immune from the world's troubles, she said, a feeling compounded by the inability of police to identify the man.
"I felt, what was he running away from? What made him think he could survive? And how will his family ever know? He's a lost soul now; his father and mother are probably waiting for him to make contact," said Lambert, 41.
Frustrated police have released a composite electronic image of what they believe the man's face looked like before his fall, as well as a photo of a tattoo on his left arm, in hopes that he may be identified.
Based on circumstantial evidence, including some currency found in his jeans pocket, they believe he may have been from Angola, but discussions with Angolan authorities have not provided useful clues.
In the days after the macabre discovery, some residents moved by the man's death placed flowers at the spot where his body landed.
Unofficial representatives of London's Angolan community trekked to Mortlake to pay their respects to the man, even though no one knew who he was.
They prayed and also left flowers — but the bouquet was quickly removed by residents after the delegation departed, for fears that it would become an unwanted, permanent shrine to the unknown passenger.
Some are still unwilling to discuss the falling man.
"Is this about the man from the sky?" asked one woman when approached by a reporter as she parked her car on Portman Avenue. "I don't want to talk about it. That was my house."
Aviation safety specialist Chris Yates said poor perimeter security at a number of airports in Africa — including the main Angola airport at Luanda — and in other parts of the world has made it easier for people to stow away on planes.
But it's dangerous, and often fatal, not least because areas such as the cargo hold or the wheel base, where stowaways often climb into, aren't necessarily pressurized. Yates said the man who crashed to the pavement in Mortlake had probably lost consciousness and died within the first hour of his flight.
"When you start moving beyond 10,000 feet, oxygen starvation becomes a reality," he said. "As you climb up to altitude, the issue becomes cold as well, the temperature drops to minus 40 or minus 50 degrees centigrade, so survival rates drop."
The footpath has been cleaned and the flowers are long gone, but residents and local workers are still talking about the man, said Jay Sivapalan, 29, an employee at the Variety Box convenience store near where the body landed.
"It was just a strange thing," he said.

The Sproutling: Why A Fitbit For Babies Might Be Brilliant
Sproutling shares exclusive new details on how they're building the first big baby wearable--an idea that isn't nearly as absurd as it may sound.
"Think the Nike Fuelband--for babies! Suckling gamification! Wet diaper alerts! Potty training achievements! An altimeter that tracks standing! And a pedometer for the baby's first steps!"
This is the VC pitch I imagined in my head the first time I heard about the Sproutling monitor, what may very well become the first big wearable for babies. Even typing that absurd phrase now--"wearable for babies"--makes it feel like my brain must have gone hypoxic inside the Silicon Valley bubble. But once I get past CEO Chris Bruce's slick talking points--that it's a tool to "make first time parents feel like second time parents," or that it's like "Nest for family products," I realize just how much psychological and scientific intent is driving its design.
The Sproutling monitor itself is a band that fits around a baby's ankle. It analyzes both the baby and his or her environment. So it tracks a child's heart rate, skin temperature, and movement at the same time that it tracks the room's ambient temperature, humidity, and light levels. That's a lot of data, and by working with researchers from Xerox Parc, Sproutling is developing a new statistical model to cut through old wive's tales and lead parents to actionable advice.
"All of this isn't for the sake of data; it's for the sake of insight and foresight," Bruce tells me. "One big thing we're doing is predicting when your baby will wake from a nap. We're trying to get that to the minute."
This advice is given to parents in the framework of push notifications. If a child has been waking a lot at night, for instance, the statistical model might see that the baby might benefit from going to bed 15 minutes later. So a parent would receive that tailored tip. But how they receive that tip--right down to its language--is particularly important. Advice packaged the wrong way could be offensive. Or it could drive parents to feel even more anxiety, which completely defeats the purpose of using the Sproutling monitor in the first place.
"Parents have a lot of personal decisions and opinions, we don't want to tell parents what to do one way or the other," Bruce explains. "We've spent a tremendous amount of time on this language. One problem I had with the Jawbone Up: The first time I used it, I woke up, and it said I got 70% sleep. If Sproutling said your baby was 70% below average in sleep, you'd say, 'Oh my gosh! I'm going to call the doctor!'"
"We're trying to be direct and nonchalant at the same time," designer Gadi Amit adds later. "If something comes up, it's being discussed quickly and simply."
Amit's firm NewDealDesign--the same firm behind the Fitbit line, actually--partnered with Sproutling to take on everything from the industrial design, to the branding, to the app--a whole ecosystem that needs to accommodate the physiology of babies and the psychology of parents. It's why, among the design studio's spine of desks, sat many fully assembled cribs for several months. The designers, in essence, became parents.
"I think the fundamental decision at the beginning was, this is a product for the parents rather than a baby product," explains Amit. "Most of products in this market are actually driven by baby feel and baby style. Sproutling is a device that doesn't look like it's made for a baby."
But even though Sproutling monitor looks age agnostic, its industrial design was carefully tailored to fit young skin--a challenge even beyond that of the latest Fitbits, in a technical sense, as Sproutling's sensor pebble actually has to touch the baby's flesh to work.
"Babies are kind of squishy and they have extremely sensitive skin: Rashes, accumulation of fluids and God knows whatever," Amit laughs. "We developed a unique design that allows us to excerpt very, very subtle pressure. And then there is a strap that's disposable, made of soft material--I can't say which material because it's sensitive information--but it's both very delicate and replaceable. So if there's an accident and you need to really clean that strap, you could just replace it."
Designers also had to develop a unique clasping mechanism, so that overzealous parents wouldn't cinch the band too tightly--or, again, worry that they'd cinched the band too tightly. And this careful, concern-averting tone spreads from the industrial design right through to the app design, which uses simple, central "things are OK" or "things are not OK" iconography.
"Keep in mind, the whole purpose of this is peace of mind and harmony," Amit says. "We're trying to bombard you with not too much information."
Sproutling will soon entering alpha testing, with the goal of releasing in late spring or early summer of 2014. The project is specifically not Kickstarted because Bruce couldn't imagine expectant parents suffering through the anxiety of delays. (Even in this sense, we see that theme of parental anxiety circle back to influence the product.) It's a maneuver to protect the brand early on, as Bruce hopes the Sproutling will be but the first product in a whole new category of smart family-focused devices. In fact, they're already working on a more clinical version of Sproutling that tracks vitals like blood oxygen levels, but are avoiding that space for now, due to complicated FDA mandates.

Not sure you realize this, but Owlet is already manufacturing a similar product with an expected ship date of February. They have crowdsourced over $250k already.
For what it's worth, Sproutling looks much better designed; The Owlet looks cumbersome and complicated.
I'm about to be a 1st time dad, and I'll totally buy this if the price & reviews are right.
Yeah right, sproutling is pretty lovely product,i'll buy it too.

"Wuv, true wuv that bwessed awangement, that dweam within a dweam."
-Priest- The Princess Bride.
One of my most favorite movies of all time. This is one of my favorite quotes too (next to "As you wish." of course!) Yes, I'm an uber romantic. So, lets talk about Love since that is a big part of what romance is.
Love is a funny thing. It's also such a general word. There are so many types of love, between friends, family, lovers, and so many levels of it. It can change over time. You fall in, you can also fall out. It can pull you in and spit you out.
Love is everywhere in "real life". It's part of what makes us who we are. Everyone has a desire to love and be loved.
I think every book needs to have a little love in it somewhere. (Particularly books which take place over a period of time.) A story with NO love at all seems flat to me. It is a major part of how people interact, we love people, we search for love (and I'm not talking about this always being in a romantic way). Romance, even a little, even if it's hinted at, adds extra realism and spice to any story.
In my debut novel Sweet Light, the main character Shara finds herself falling in love when she least expects it. (Isn't that always the way it is?) She is a healer, and that David is her patient doesn't help her confusion. She struggles between following her heart and doing what is expected of her. Just when things seem to going well she must face the arrival of her old lover. Finding she still has feelings for him tears her apart. On top of this, she discovers that her best friend, and David's cousin, is in love with her. When things go horribly wrong between her and David, she has to search her heart and decide on who she truly loves and who she will choose.
Love is never perfect, or easy. It can be cruel and threaten to break you. Sometimes you have to make a choice. When those choices are hard, you can only hope you make the right one and deal with any consequences.
Though a fantasy, set in another world, Sweet Light is also full of romance. I hope readers will enjoy following the strings of love which wind around Shara and cheer for their favorite hero.
Love can be irrational. It can make you do crazy things. Trying to hold on to love, you may do things you never imagined you would.
Lust of course... is a whole 'nother story...and I'll leave that for another time. :D
What would you do for love?

Senators: Many states are 'gaming' entitlements to up federal benefits
Story Topics
Many states are "gaming" entitlement programs that involve state-federal partnerships to maximize the number of federal dollars flowing to the states while minimizing their own input, senators said this week.
The ploys involve a tendency for entitlement programs to make receiving one entitlement a ticket to receive another: If a person is on food stamps, for example, he's automatically eligible for a free cellphone. Some states and recipients have learned that by gaining a foothold via a program with lax requirements or low cost, the recipient can open the door to greater federally funded benefits from other programs.
Seventeen states have devised shell implementations of one the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program to boost the amount of federally funded food stamp dollars their food stamp, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, recipients receive.
Being on the low-income program, because it is presumably an indicator of poverty, triggers an increase in the number of dollars a food stamp recipient receives each month. So states have taken to paying token amounts in the program, such as $1 a year, so that recipients' allotment of food stamp dollars will increase an average of $1,080 annually.
"These 17 states designed their programs to exploit the food stamp program. This is not right," Sen. Pat Roberts, Kansas Republican, said Tuesday on the Senate floor.
Mr. Roberts and others this week introduced a bill that would save $12 billion by removing that loophole. The bill also addresses another gimmick stemming from "categorical eligibility" language that says receiving services under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or welfare, makes one eligible for food stamps.
States have taken to handing those who want food stamps a brochure about welfare, and counting the act of receiving a free piece of paper as a "service" — suddenly making them eligible for food stamps.
"Forty-two states are exploiting an unintended loophole and simply provid[ing] informational brochures and informational 1-800 numbers to maximize the food stamp enrollment and the corresponding increase in federal food benefits. These states are gaming the system to bring otherwise ineligible [food stamp] participants into the program," Mr. Roberts said.
Eliminating that loophole by clarifying that the welfare relationship refers to those actually receiving welfare would save $11.5 billion, he said.
Federal policy also encourages states to push people onto food stamps by giving out $48 million in cash bonuses, which can be spent on anything, to states with "best program access" and other distinguishments.
"How many more people signed up for [food stamps] compared to the previous year? So if you sign up more people than you signed up last year, well, you get an award," Mr. Roberts said.
Even as many states sought to cash in on the federally funded programs, a slew of crackdown bills have come from statehouses across the country in recent weeks, including:
Last month, an Oklahoma lawmaker proposed that childless adults may receive food stamps only if they are engaged in 35 hours a week of work-related activity, including education or assisted job searches.
Last week, the Illinois legislature took up a bill to cross-reference its prison inmate database with food stamp recipients and strip them of their food stamps.
Also last week, Illinois also took up a proposal to hire an independent auditor to look at its food stamp and welfare programs, focusing on "fraud and inefficiencies."

Gemstones and jewels in the light of the Holy Quran
Assalam oalaikum,
Gemstones ,jewels and rock have been mentioned in the Quran at various points.
74 Thenceforth were your hearts hardened: They became like a rock and even worse in hardness. For among rocks there are some from which rivers gush forth; others there are which when split asunder send forth water; and others which sink for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unmindful of what ye do.
surah bakarah chaptor no 2 verse no 74
(1) O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men, and he does not believe in Allah, nor in the Last Day. His likeness is the likeness of a smooth rock on which is a little dust; on it falls heavy rain which leaves it bare. They are not able to do anything with what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #264)
(4) He said: "Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock? I indeed forgot the fish; none but Shaitan (Satan) made me forget to remember it. It took its course into the sea in a strange (way)!"
( سورة الكهف , Al-Kahf, Chapter #18, Verse #63)
(5) "O my son! If it be (anything) equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. Verily, Allah is Subtle (in bringing out that grain), Well-Aware (of its place).
( سورة لقمان , Luqman, Chapter #31, Verse #16)
(6) And (with) Thamud (people), who hewed out rocks in the valley (to make dwellings)?
( سورة الفجر , Al-Fajr, Chapter #89, Verse #9)
4 Striking them with stones of baked clay.
surah fil verse no 4
(2) And (remember) when Musa (Moses) asked for water for his people, We said: "Strike the stone with your stick." Then gushed forth therefrom twelve springs. Each (group of) people knew its own place for water. "Eat and drink of that which Allah has provided and do not act corruptly, making mischief on the earth."
( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #60)
(11) And We rained down on them a rain (of stones). Then see what was the end of the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists and sinners).
( سورة الأعراف , Al-Araf, Chapter #7, Verse #84)
58 Like unto Rubies and coral.
surah rahman chaptor no 55 verse no 58
Huzur (saw) used to wear Aqeeq but males are permitted to wear a stone only up to 4 -4.5 masha and not more than that. Besides this, males are not allowed to wear rings made of gold.
The practice of wearing gemstones had developed from Huzur (saw) and Hazrat Ali (r.a). I have heard that Hazrat Ali (ra) used to wear 4 rings namely:- Opal (Yaqut) to enhance beauty and dignity; Turquoise (Feruz) for getting divine help and victory; Hadid Thin for power and Carnelian (Aqiq) to protect himself from his enemies and all types of hardships. The gemstones are an integral part of spiritual healing. Each one of them has a distinctive rhythm, substance, character and magnetism. This imparts them with different therapeutic properties. Their physical and spiritual benefits generate within us powerful and highly charged energy.
In many instances, during a trouble, the Aqiq stone absorbs most of the negative energies in the environment, and even break into pieces. Such stones are not used again as their powerful nature have been utilized.
Islam strongly recommends its followers to wear rings made from different stones in order to increase faith, piousness and endurance.

Price was good, location was fair, not the best, but close proximity to downtown.
We got to breakfast about 20 mins before it ended, no food whatsoever and no attendant could be found. Complained to Desk.
It's OK, not really a blow your socks off place or location!

Conde Nast calls time on men's style website as McKinsey brought in
NEW YORK - Conde Nast is closing its standalone website Men.Style.com and concentrating on GQ.com as it brings in management consultants McKinsey to help it "rethink" its business.
Chuck Townsend, chief executive of Conde Nast, yesterday issued a memo telling staff "we must realign Conde Nast to be a successful business in an emerging economy that is now predicted to be painfully slow in recovering".
McKinsey, Townsend and a Conde Nast team will review all areas of the company and "develop new perspectives on optimizing our approach to business, growing revenues, and enhancing our brand assets".
It emerged yesterday that Conde Nast is to ditch its online-only men's brand Men.Style.com, which is the home of GQ and Details magazine online. The site will close in October and Conde Nast will instead focus on GQ.
GQ currently has a section on Men.style.com, but it will now become the flagship and details will also have its own website.
Sarah Chubb, Conde Nast Digital president told AdAge that GQ's brand strength was the strongest at Conde Nast and it made sense to consolidate under the GQ brand.
Chubb said: "We had a hard time branding it on its own away from Style.com."
The move may lead to a rethink of the company's other web-only brands that house magazine content, such as women's fashion site Style.com, food site Epicurious.com and travel site Concierge.com.
The Newhouse family-owned magazine empire has been retrenching following the downturn in the economy and the advertising market.
In April Conde Nast closed down its two-year old business magazine Portfolio, on which Newhouse had lavished resources.
In the previous 12 months it had also closed House & Garden, Jane, Cargo, Vitals and Domino.
However it relaunched technology monthly Wired in the UK in April and launched fashion monthly Love in the UK in February.

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays important roles in the development and physiology of both animals and plants, but it is unclear whether similar mechanisms are employed. Bax Inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is an intracellular multi-membrane-spanning protein and cell death inhibitor, originally identified by a function-based screen for mammalian cDNAs capable of suppressing cell death in yeast engineered to ectopically express the pro-apoptotic protein Bax. Using this yeast assay, we screened expression libraries for cDNAs from the plant, Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato), and the invertebrate animal Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly), identifying close homologs of BI-1 as Bax-suppressors. We studied the fly and tomato homologs of BI-1, as well as BI-1 homologs identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa (rice), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast). All eukaryotic homologs of BI-1 blocked Bax-induced cell death when expressed in yeast. Eukaryotic BI-1 homologs also partially rescued yeast from cell death induced by oxidative stress (H(2)O(2)) and heat shock. Deletion of a C-terminal domain from BI-1 homologs abrogated their cytoprotective function in yeast, demonstrating conserved structure-function relations among these proteins. Expression of tomato BI-1 by agroinfiltration of intact plant leaves provided protection from damage induced by heat-shock and cold-shock stress. Altogether, these findings indicate that BI-1 homologs exist in multiple eukaryotic species, providing cytoprotection against diverse stimuli, thus implying that BI-1 regulates evolutionary conserved mechanisms of stress resistance that are germane to both plants and animals.
