Muslim Remarriage What, Marriage Again?!!
`I have been overwhelmed by the response, from women especially...'
Nowadays, young Muslims find the whole marriage process exceedingly difficult. Being a divorcee, particularly with a child, further reduces the prospect of finding a suitable marriage partner. There are many marriage events now being held to facilitate the 'arranged marriage' process which bring together Muslim singletons, usually with a chaperone, but none that cater specifically for people who are divorced or widowed. Unfortunately there are very negative attitudes towards divorcees, particularly in the South Asian community where divorce often seems to be perceived as the woman's fault. Once a woman is divorced, she is proverbially placed firmly on the shelf with little or often no prospect of ever tying the knot again.
We know these attitudes which stigmatise divorcees and in turn lead to them being disregarded as potential marriage partners have cultural rather than religious roots. In South Asian culture particularly, the traditional wife often endures a multitude of injustices in order to preserve the stability of the marital home. In contemporary times, however, women are far more robust, as well as often being financially independent, thus divorce, although not taken lightly, is on the increase. However it still seems far easier for divorced men to remarry than divorced women. There are many reasons for this, which need a more detailed analysis than I can give now, but it is clear that a fundamental inequality between the sexes exists within our community.
I discussed ideas for a 'Muslim Remarriage Event' with my family and friends and received a lot of support and so I decided to gauge the level of interest of would-be guests by sending out emails to a few mailing lists and getting permission to advertise the potential event in various mosques. The response was overwhelmingly positive and male to female responders fairly equal. I found this very encouraging and this motivated me to proceed with organising the event even though I knew that being a full time teacher and mother, finding the time would be difficult!
Preparations began in the Easter holidays, and advertising in mid-August. A team of core helpers and I approached many organisations to generate publicity and the Eastern Eye magazine feature and the UK Islamic Events and Notices List were the most successful ways of reaching out to potential participants as well as word of mouth.
Although initially I was concerned about embarking on this project, the response so far has proved that this was a much needed event. I have been overwhelmed by the response from women especially, so much so that the event had to be brought forward and tickets are sold out for the event this Saturday. God Willing I sincerely hope the event will be of benefit to those who attend. I would also consider it a success if the publicity generated via news reports and the Internet could go some way to highlight the issues and attitudes surrounding divorce in our society.
Now is the time for us as a community to rethink our attitudes rather than clinging to unfounded and often crippling, cultural and social stereotypes.

SALISBURY, N.C. – The suspect mistakenly released from a Rowan County jail was caught in Concord Thursday. Rowan County authorities say Willie James Johnson Jr. was accidentally released from their jail Wednesday after posting bond on a lesser charge.
Salisbury police arrested the 19-year-old Tuesday for a number of charges – robbery with a dangerous weapon; assault by pointing a gun; and resist, obstruct, and delay of a public officer.
Rowan County Sheriff Kevin Auten held a news conference earlier Thursday saying the mix up came from a human error in paperwork.
He was put on a $25,000 secured bond for felony robbery and $500 for a misdemeanor. After his first court appearance Wednesday, Johnson paid the $500 and was released, but the $25,000 secured bond is still in effect, so he wasn't supposed to be released.

Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, & Staph Bacteria vagina
My youngest, Bella - a 3 year old fixed german shepherd was diganosed with those 3 bacteria's around her vulva about a month ago. She was given a pill form of an antibotic that was sensitive to all three. After the med ran out, about a week later the redness and blisters came back - and in my opinion worse then before. Took her to see the vet yesterday. Will try another round of the meds for a week. Will take her back to look at and either continue or try something new. My question is... has anyone else had expererience with these kinds of bacterial? Our vet tells us that it is common for dogs to get bacteria infections in their ears and he has seen some cases like Bella's. Any help, insight, suggestions, etc would be very helpful!

Re: Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, & Staph Bacteria vagina
I'm guessing your girl may have some allergies that are irritating that area making it suseptable to infection. Greyhounds have a lot of problems with this area and people have found using baby wipes on the area when they come in helpful by keeping it clean and soothing the skin.

Re: Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, & Staph Bacteria vagina
Don't know about the other types but staph can be very hard to get rid of and it usually requires a decent amount of time on the antibiotics. One week wouldn't be long enough, and I think that is evidenced by the recurrence once the antibiotics were stopped.

Re: Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, & Staph Bacteria vagina
We were on Ciprofloxacin (250mg) for about 3 weeks. Stopped and after about a week, we noticed that it was back and worse then ever. Put back on Ciprofloxacin for another week and then back to the vet for a check-up. He did mention doing an injectible antiobotic -- asked me if I was conformatable giving them. If we have to go that route --- how difficult is it?

Re: Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, & Staph Bacteria vagina
It is not that difficult, usually they are injected subcutaneously. They may give you individual doses in syringes or they may have it in a bottle and you have to measure out the doses. For the sub-q inject usually you just lift some loose skin by the shoulders, put the needle in and depress the plunger. The vet or vet tech can show you how to do it. I already knew how to give sub-q fluids so I had no trouble with giving the sub-q antibiotics, but if you have a more rambunctious dog or very sensitive it might be a little more difficult.

Re: Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, & Staph Bacteria vagina
I don't know about dogs, but I know with humans if it is a good enough infection it can take 6 weeks on antibiotics to work.

Re: Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, & Staph Bacteria vagina
The problem with not giving ABX for a long enough time is that you give the Staph bug a chance to get stronger against the ABX. The on again and off again was not good.
I have had a dog on 58 days of Cephlexin for a Staph Infection. I am not sure if you are aware of it, but many people reccommend giving Probioitics while your pup is on ABX. Just don't give the two at the same time, space the Probioitic to 1/2 way between the ABX. Val |

By JerseyGuy (New Jersey) on Apr 9, 2009
Comments: I want to like the machine more then I do. I really do. But I have had probelms and it's taking 4 months to correct them. First off, I paid for assembly and they damaged my ceiling and new that the machine wasn't right. The speakers made A LOT of noise when there wasn't anythig plugged into it (i.e. iPod) so I called for tech support. I was sent on a wild goose chase looking for a white line filter sold a R---o S---k. I went to 6 stores looking for this piece and it was like I was looking for a unicorn. I ended up pluging the machine into a very expensive powerstrip which is supposed to remove any noise from the power lines and it didn't work. I called tec support and they sent out a whole new monitor. The repairmen came and replaced the unit with a monitor with a bad display. They knew it and I caught them trying to leave without telling me. It's been about six weeks, I just received the monitor and I am waiting for the repairmen to call me back. The machine also makes a knocking noise and the pulse monitor stinks. I feel like I am going to drop dead and it rates my pulse at 42bpm. That said, I think that I just caught a lemon. I can see how people like the machine, but I think that it is the luck of the draw. Beware.

Be reminded about this event
In 1837, Baltimore painter Alfred Jacob Miller (1810-74) was hired by Captain William Drummond Stewart, an eccentric Scottish adventurer, to journey to the animal fur-traders' rendezvous in the Green River Valley (in what is now western Wyoming) and to document the trip in paintings. Organized by the American Fur Company, the rendezvous provided mountain men and Native Americans with an opportunity to come together to exchange their furs for supplies that would sustain them through the winter. Represented at the gathering were members of the Sioux, Bannock, Mandan, Crow, Snake, Pend Oreilles, Nez Percé, Cheyenne, and Delaware tribes. Miller supported himself for the rest of his career by painting oils and watercolors based on his "trail sketches," 200 of which were commissioned by William T. Walters.

The Kentucky Wildcats have now played 8 games, which brings us through 25% of the regular season. They've played a variety of opponents from both small conferences and large and are coming off their biggest game against the toughest opponent they will face this season (at least until a road game at Florida anyway).
That makes this a good time to take an in-depth look at where the team is collectively on offensive and defensive and how the players are doing individually in those areas. In Part 1 we looked at how the returnees are progressing from last season. In Part 2 we'll look at how the freshman are starting off their college careers.
On Wednesday and Thursday we'll look at defense which will include composite DSS results.
One thing I need to clarify: if anyone has a subscription to KenPom you'll notice that his player stats are slightly different from what I have here. These numbers all come from Statsheet.com. The difference is due to offensive rebounds, somehow KP and SS get slightly different numbers and without getting into gory details, that difference trickles down into the calculations for possessions which in turn affects things like ORtg and TO%. I'm not sure why this is the case, but my hypothesis is that because Statsheet auto-updates within a few hours of games being completed, they are getting a box score that is not finalized. Since KP updates everything the next day, he is getting the finalized box score. The differences are noticeable and I wanted to clear up any potential confusion.
On to the freshman! Since we don't have previous seasons to use, in a couple cases I've included some lines for other players who are interesting comparisons for these players.
Player | M% | ORtg | POS% | SH% | eFG% | OR% | A% | TO% | FTR | FT% | 2P% | 3P% |
John Wall | 83.9 | 108.8 | 27.2 | 23.4 | 50.3 | 2.6 | 34.8 | 24.2 | 52.9 | 75.4 | 50.9 | 32.5 |
Brandon Knight | 89.3 | 107.8 | 26.7 | 26.2 | 50.8 | 2.1 | 23.4 | 19.8 | 33.3 | 79.5 | 46.1 | 37.7 |
Marquis League | 75.3 | 97.1 | 21.1 | 19.5 | 49.3 | 1.8 | 22.2 | 25.5 | 29.1 | 52.4 | 47.2 | 36.8 |
Marquis Teague of course gets compared to the other 2 great point guards UK has had under Coach Calipari. The comparison is not quite fair to Teague since these are the season numbers for John Wall and Brandon Knight, but they are still instructive. Teague has a ways to go before he is on the same level as these two, but we are coming up on the December period of no class and lots of practice and I think we can expect to see a lot of improvement during this period. He has already brought his turnovers down the last several games and his 3 point shooting is better than Wall and comparable to Knight. The assist rate is low compared to Wall, but pretty much in line with what Knight did last year and as Marquis continues to learn to play with the great players around him I expect we'll see that trend upward. Marquis hasn't needed to control the game to the extent the other two did and I think ultimately that will benefit him. This is a great team and Teague should get some credit for helping distribute the basketball even if it isn't showing up in his assists.
Player | M% | ORtg | POS% | SH% | eFG% | OR% | A% | TO% | FTR | FT% | 2P% | 3P% |
DeAndre Liggins (Jr) | 78.7 | 106.6 | 15.9 | 15.3 | 49.2 | 2.1 | 14.1 | 17.4 | 39.8 | 64.8 | 44.2 | 39.1 |
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist | 73.4 | 105.1 | 21.6 | 19.2 | 51.4 | 8.1 | 8.4 | 23.3 | 50.7 | 74.3 | 50.9 | 35.7 |
The player Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is compared to all the time is DeAndre Liggins and coming back into the UNC game after dislocating a shoulder isn't going to end those comparisons - that's the kind of thing Liggins would have done. MKG's offensive game still has room to grow - his shot mechanics have been mentioned by more than one person (his jump shot reminds me of Wayne Turner) but really there is a lot to like here. Even with the mechanics issue, he's shooting better from the line and the field than Liggins did as a junior and his offensive rebounding is terrific from this position. Liggins was better at passing the ball, but he was also nominally a point guard coming out of high school so that's not surprising and DeAndre also was very good at protecting the ball last year. Kidd-Gilchrist needs to learn to harness his style of play on the offensive end as a lot of his turnovers come from getting himself in trouble (charges and such). If he can cut down on the silly turnovers and hold back on jump shots early in a possession, he'll become a real offensive force.
Player | M% | ORtg | POS% | SH% | eFG% | OR% | A% | TO% | FTR | FT% | 2P% | 3P% |
A. Davis | 68.7 | 121.8 | 19.5 | 17.2 | 67.2 | 11.7 | 7.1 | 15.7 | 63.7 | 54.1 | 70.9 | 0.0 |
I don't have a good comp for Anthony Davis (any ideas out there?). Really, there isn't anyone like him in the last 8 years. Ken Pomeroy's player comparison tool lists his closest freshman comps as Gorgui Deng (2011) at Louisville and Jarvis Varnado (2007) at Mississippi St but neither are close - the match is 809 for Deng and 790 for Varnado (900 or above is considered a "good" comparison). Davis really is unique. He needs to touch the ball a bit more on offense - shooting 70.9% on twos is outstanding and he does not turn the ball over. His free throw shooting needs some work, but you knew that already. He is getting to the line at a terrific rate though and even at 54.1% from the line he is generating points. Davis has the ability to be even better on the offensive boards, and you should check out this post by Josh Riddell at The Mikan Drill where he takes a closer look at how Davis can improve in that area.
Player | M% | ORtg | POS% | SH% | eFG% | OR% | A% | TO% | FTR | FT% | 2P% | 3P% |
K. Wiltjer | 35.9 | 108.5 | 22.1 | 26.2 | 47.8 | 8.7 | 9.1 | 15.5 | 19.5 | 77.8 | 51.6 | 26.7 |
I also couldn't think of an interesting comp for Kyle Wiltjer. Ken Pomeroy has Sam Young (2007) at Pittsburgh as his top comparison and interestingly Harrison Barnes shows up 5th on the list although none of them are strong comparisons (though at 872 and 851 respectively they are better than anyone who shows up for Anthony Davis). Wiltjer's offense is just fine for a freshman big. He shoots quite well from the line and inside the arc and his 3P% is low, but it's just on 15 shots: if he was 6-15 instead of 4-15 he'd be an outstanding 40% (small sample size!). Wiltjer has been good at the non-shooting areas too: his 9.1% Assist Rate is pretty good for a big guy, he doesn't turn the ball over, and his 8.7% Offensive rebound % is not bad for a player who spends a lot of time on the perimeter. He's not shy about taking shots either as you can see by his 26.2 SH% - that leads the team by a healthy margin. Wiltjer is the closest thing this team has to a ball hog!
Like all freshmen these guys have areas of their game where they need to work. But the early results are very encouraging and do nothing to dampen the sky-high expectations the fans have for the season. With classes coming to and end and more time available for practice this month, I think we will really start to see considerable improvement in these areas.
Thanks for reading!

Only then do they notice the mysterious stranger (Matthew McConaughey) with a fishing pole in hand and a cigarette butt clamped in his teeth. He identifies himself as "Mud" and proves to be both a castaway and a fugitive from the law. Mud shares outlandish stories about how he killed a man to protect his lifelong sweetheart, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon), and needs the tree-bound boat to make a clean getaway. While Neckbone remains suspicious of Mud, Ellis gets caught up in the older man's rural romanticism, and they agree to bring him provisions and tools to free the boat from the branches.
Writer/director Jeff Nichols uses the story to cunningly update the imagery of Mark Twain, whose tales of youthful adventure on the Mississippi provide a cornerstone of American literature. As with his previous film Take Shelter, Nichols shows an eye for telling detail, deliberate pace and careful narrative structure comparable to John Sayles, but also a tendency to belabor his points.
Ellis seems drawn to Mud partly as an escape from his fraught personal life, which includes his parents' (Ray McKinnon and Sarah Paulson) bitter arguments over whether they should abandon the meager riverside way of life for the greater opportunities in the otherwise dreary town. As Ellis becomes a messenger between Mud and Juniper, he becomes more deeply embroiled in a film noir-style storyline, with Mud hunted by a vengeful father (iconic Southern actor Joe Don Baker) and a seedy enforcer (Paul Sparks, in a change of pace from his role as a tittering bootlegger on "Boardwalk Empire").
Nichols pushes some of Mud's symbolism a little hard, particularly when venomous serpents are involved, disrupting the Eden-like quality of the island retreat. Arguably the film also presents three faces of Eve: as Mud unfolds from Ellis' point of view, we see women in three separate subplots (including the boy's potential girlfriend) reject the aspirations of their men. The female characters all come across as credible people who need to protect themselves, but overall get a short shrift in the story.
Following his cinematic hot streak with Magic Mike and Killer Joe, McConaughey uses Mud to add more dimensions to his tousled, laid-back screen persona. With shabby clothes and a chipped tooth, Mud tries to use his gift of gab to disguise haunted nature as a man whose dreams have fallen short of reality. When Mud and the boys tackle the engineering problem of removing a boat from a tree, or simply kick back to shoot the breeze, the three main characters seem to relish the reprieve from life's cares. In such moments Mud makes Southern life feel like an endless summer.
Mud. 3 stars. Directed by Jeff Nichols. Stars Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan. Rated PG-13. Opens Fri., April 26. At area theaters.

Arab League Calls Emergency Meeting On Sudan Crisis
By Daniel Tovrov: Subscribe to Daniel's RSS feed | April 20, 2012 1:37 AM IST
The Arab League called an emergency meeting on Thursday over the quickly escalating violence between Sudan and South Sudan.
With Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir vowing to reclaim South Sudan, which celebrated its independence from its northern neighbor last July, the Secretariat General of the Arab League said that both sides need to respect the terms of the 2005 peace treaty before the countries are again plunged into war, the Sudan Vision reported.
According to the Africa Review, Sudan, which is a member of the Arab League, first called for the meeting this week in response to the occupation of Heglig by the Sudan People's Liberation Army -- the ruling military of South Sudan. The SPLA seized the oil-producing town earlier this month, which the north deemed tantamount to an act of war.
- Follow @ibtimesindia
Retaliatory violence from both sides have brought an end to peace talks being held in Ethiopia. Each side has characterized the other as the aggressor, and South Sudan claims to have repelled four attacks from Sudan in the past two days.
On Thursday, Egypt said it is prepared to mediate between Sudan and South Sudan and the emergency Arab League meeting will be held in Cairo next week. The League, along with the United Nations, also called for the south to immediately withdraw from Heglig, which the government has no intention of doing, according to the Associated Press.
Sudan and South Sudan both claim the area, which is home to the Heglig oil field. South Sudan government spokesman Barnaba Marial Benjamin said on Thursday that South Sudan would withdraw from the area to avoid an all out war, but only if the African Union guarantees an end to hostilities and if Sudan pulls out of the disputed Abyei region, which is also flush with oil.
Sudan and South Sudan are "teetering on the brink of all-out war from which neither would benefit," the International Crisis Group said in an alert. "Increasingly angry rhetoric, support for each other's rebels, poor command and control, and brinkmanship, risk escalating limited and contained conflict into a full-scale confrontation."

Abstract | Considering the global dominarnce of the US equity market, it is expected that the impact of September 11 on the US market would spill-over to other markets. Since this terrible event had created a global climate of fear and uncertainty, it is possible that the US spill-over effect could have been driven not only by fundamental factors but also by non-fundamental ones. Thus, contagion could have played a dominant role in transmitting the effect of September 11 from the US to other markets. In this paper, we verify whether indeed this has happened. Based on leveraged bootstrap causality tests, we examine the causal effects of the US on Indonesia, China, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore in relation to September 11. We found that the causal effects of the US on Japan and Singapore intensified as a result of September 11; however, we did not find these to be associated with contagion effects. It appears that the September 11 impact on the US market was not transmitted to the other Asian markets as the US influence on these markets either remained the same or even diminished. |

1. Instead of Parmesan, Try Nutritional Yeast. Sure, it's not quite the same, but craving a little crumbly goodness on top of your salad or pasta? Replace your old dairy standby with the vegan nutritional yeast. Sure, it's not quite the same, but it will add a completely new, and equally delicious, flavor to your meal.
2. Instead of Mashed Potatoes, Try Mashed Turnips or Rutabaga.Growing tired of the same old pule of lumpy mashed potatoes on your dinner plate? Expand your options into other root veggies for variations in flavor and texture.
3. Instead of Wheat Pasta, Try Squash. A great way for carb-lovers to eat their veggies is to swap out pasta for squashes like the appropriately named spaghetti squash, pictured above, or even ribbons of zucchini. After cooking the squash, prepare the same way you would regular pasta.

Initially few expected that Kennedy would spend so much time in the Mountain state. Many believed that Humphrey would drop out after the Wisconsin contest and if not, he would be an easy opponent in West Virginia primary.
But all that changed after the Wisconsin presidential primary on April 9. Kennedy may have won, but the press attributed his victory to a strong turnout of Catholic voters who comprised 30 percent of the population. They noted that Kennedy won all five industrialized Congressional districts with Catholic majorities, but lost all rural districts with Protestant majorities.
It was up to West Virginia -- a state with few Catholics -- to prove that Kennedy's religion would not be a political liability. As the editor of the Parkersburg News James H. Young observed, "West Virginia will either bury their prejudice or they will bury John Fitzgerald Kennedy."
The votes cast in May catapulted John Kennedy to his party's presidential nomination and undermined the assertion that a Catholic candidate could not win the White House. As President Kennedy stated when he came to Charleston for the centennial celebration on June 20, 1963: "I would not be where I now am ... if it had not been for the people of West Virginia."
I will find out Friday which town in West Virginia that national reporter selected for his story. For on Nov. 22, 2013, media across the nation will focus on an anniversary that shocked and then haunted a generation.
I just hope his article acknowledges the special connection between the Mountain State and the 35th president -- a special connection created in the spring of 1960, dramatized by his visit on June 20, 1963, and cut short by his death five months later.
Rupp, a political history professor at West Virginia Wesleyan College and a Gazette contributing columnist, is writing a book on John Kennedy and 1960 West Virginia presidential primary.

10:46 AM ET 06.22 | Urban Meyer found his quarterback of the future in the Class of 2014, as Stephen Collier gave his verbal commitment to Ohio State on Friday night. After Buckeyes targets Zack Darlington and Rafe Peavey no longer were in the mix to head to Columbus, Collier became the top target for the Buckeyes, and he committed to Ohio State on the spot after being offered a scholarship. He picked OSU over Wake Forest and Cincinnati, and he also had interest from programs such as Alabama and Florida State.

Say what now? What about the dual QB from Wichita Falls, TX, J.T. Barrett? He graduated early, already enrolled, made Spring practice. He's a 4 star recruit, this kid Collier from GA is a 2 star guy. Plus a verbal commitment doesn't mean much nowadays. Either way, Urban Meyer and the Bucks will continue to dominate the Big Ten!
Third choice?

Doesn't cheating usually constitute getting an unfair advantage? If Utley is referring to trading memorabilia for tattoos, how did this give them an unfair advantage? Maybe the ink had testosterone in it? Did Tressel handle it poorly? Yes. But I keep hearing them called cheaters and they did no such thing. They violated a rule, they didn't cheat. Just my two pennies on the subject.

So the article found a nice way to say that Ohio got their third choice for "QB of the future". Nice.
Now break that down & go back 53 years. Half the time of the 106 year rivalry. Ohio State is 27-23-2 (with the vacated W from 2010). All of the sudden the rivalry isn't so one sided. And going back to the '01 season Ohio State has won 9 of the last 12. So what cheating are you talking about, Tricky Tressel's cover up? Also the entire 2010 season was vacated because Tricky Tressel played ineligible athlete's.
I get a kick out of those defending Ohio. Like you, they are the same type of people who use an apostrophe to indicate a plural. That's funny.

Kansas City Auditor Gary White confirmed today that he plans to retire when his current contract expires June 30.
White replaced Mark Funkhouser, who was the longtime city auditor before he was elected mayor in 2007.
White served for years as Funkhouser's low-key deputy in the auditor's office and was Funkhouser's hand-picked successor. As city auditor, he maintained a much lower profile than Funkhouser had. White was retained after Funkhouser left and Mayor Sly James became mayor in 2011.
There's no obvious heir apparent in the office for White. He said today that he expects the city will interview both internal and external candidates as it seeks his replacement.

What's a good bass magazine? I'd like to get a subscription to a good bass magazine. I remember years ago having a subscription to guitar world and every month they would do like 5 tabs or so at the end. I'd also like to have something like that just as an encouragement to learn or look at something new I wouldn't have on my own. Plus also have good reading material. Any suggestions? |
I like Bass player. It has good articles, tips and a transcribed tab in each issue |
notreble.com its good online magazine sort of and free |
I don't like bass magazines at all, as about 75% of them are advertisements. As for learning/lessons, much better to get a good tutorial where the lessons are sequenced, i.e. one lesson builds on the information from the previous one. Usually with the magazines, there is a guest contributor giving a lesson for that issue, so the lesson in the next issue will probably be completely different. So you end up getting a snippet of this and a snippet of that. Bottom line for me.....Bass magazines are a waste of time and money. YMMV. |
Have to agree, a great magazine and resource.... to go with TB of course. Great video lessons and feature that are very relevant to today's players. |
I had a year subscription to bass player magazine. Every issue is littered with tons of advertisements and they're the same every month. Less than half of the magazine seems to be something useful. |
It's a healthy sign that it has advertisers wanting to use their circulation numbers to sell their products through. The adverts are 'usefull'.....it is those adverts that bring the magazine to you. When circulation falls below a floor level, advertisers will not see the worth of advertising, as they one by one pull out, the magazine cannot afford to be produced and folds. Sad thing is that an Internet resource will help fuel this demise, then those adverts will appear on everything you look at or download. Whether you look at them or not such adverts will slow down everything you do. An on-line presence is as good as a circulation, it is access to us that makes the difference, not the content of what they carry. As is true in all walks of life, the reality of the situation is not all it seems.:) |
I never trusted the reviews either. It's impossible to be objective when reviewing gear if those same manufacturers are also your biggest advertisers. They do have some good artist interviews though. |
IMO Bass Player has lessons that build up per issue. Ed Friedland & John Goldsby lessons build up. New chart, notation & tab every month also. |
It is so convenient and easy, but I am also contributing to the demise of the printed word..but such life. I didn't create that problem, but when a magazine uses pictures to illustrate or demo a point, the on-line one uses video to show it in motion. When a magazine uses words and pictures in a review, the on-line one let's me see and hear it. When the magazine does an interview, it is words...and maybe words edited or presented in a context, when the on-line one does it, I see and hear the info from the players mouth. The presentation of words to explain music and musical ideas needs a certain understanding to be in place and a context to fully understand what is being written about....a video can show and let you hear in seconds what takes pages to write, and what for some readers, a lifetime to understand.;) |

Mohawk Valley
GLOVERSVILLE, N.Y. -- Gloversville Police have arrested an EMT they say inappropriately touched a woman in the back of an ambulance and police say this is not the first time.
Donald Frye, 44, behaved in this manner.
Police say the victim told police Frye touched her breasts and other parts of her body. Police say based on the victim's report, a 2011 case was reopened and Frye was charged with forcible touching. Police say that incident was reported last February outside the City of Gloversville.

Shares are down about 1.4% in pre-market trading although there are few surprises in the satellite radio company's first earnings report with Liberty Media firmly in charge. Sirius XM reported Q4 net income of $156.2M, +119.0% vs the period last year, on revenues of $892.4M, +13.9%. Analysts thought revenues would come in higher, at $898.7M. But earnings at 2 cents a share were right on the money. Sirius XM had already announced in early January that it ended 2012 with a gain of 2M subscribers, for a total of about 19.6M self-paid, and a total paid sub base of 23.9M. The company says this morning that it expects to add 1.4M subscribers in 2013 and generate at least $3.7B in revenue. CEO Jim Meyer, who recently replaced Mel Karmazin, talks up Sirius XM's planned personalized radio service, MySXM, which he says "is now in public beta testing and will be available to our Internet subscribers in the near future." He adds that the company is "committed to ensuring Sirius XM's long-term leadership in audio and data services, particularly in vehicles, and we will do that by continuing to innovate and improve our technology, programming, and customer care."

The best show in SMX is The playboy morning show on channel 102. To me, it is what having this service is all about. Like an HBO radio show. Thanks for the entertainment Kevin and Andrea.

Subscribers should start to flow in once Howard starts his AGT gig again. He Sirius's only major talent outside their radio venue.

I thin you are way off, there is much talent on the air at Sirius, just the nfl channel is worth the cost in my opinion

The border needs to be secured. Amendments=appeasement, totally inadequate. Click Here if you Like this Comment 11 persons like this.
In 1948 East Germany and Russia (both flat broke from WWII) decided to build a fence dividing East and West Germany. They fence was 818 miles long and went through swamps, mountains, forests, farmland. It was built to keep millions of people cooped up in East Germany. In it´s worst year (before it was completed) 1500 people got across. After that, the maximum number in one year was 125.Now, I want to know why, if two broke countries could build such a fence 818 miles long, why the richest country in the world can´t build one to stop 5000 aliens from crossing every day. I know the answer: Nobody in Washington wants the flow to slow down. We have to get taxpayers from somewhere to replace the 81 million we have killed since 1973.

I don´t need to read the article to know this is a con. I certainly hope any ´fence-sitting´ senators don´t fall for this.

Sigh. Yes, Democrats lie. True. Bht Obumble, bad as he is, inherited much of this. He´s made it a bit worse, but several nominally Republican presidents have refused - not ´failed´, REFUSED - to either or to require interior enforcement. How long have Obumble´s illegal alien aunt and uncle been infesting the place at our expense?

Nothing to see here, a promise to beef up security. Click Here if you Like this Comment 7 persons like this.
#3, in theory, you´re right. But in reality, just take a look at the stretch of fence that was supposed to prevent illegal crossings into San Diego County, California. Ask the border patrol about the air-conditioned, reinforced tunnels they discover on a regular basis, where not only humans but drugs are smuggled under. In addition, in Texas, the border is the river. Ranchers should not have to give up their water access and some of their acreage for a fence that will not stop anyone.And last, no one in our country is willing to shoot to kill if someone tries to get over the fence. Click Here if you Like this Comment 11 persons like this.
Mark Levin went over the 1984 legislation which provided for border security. The government refuses to enforce that. So why would adding the same language to a new bill add anything. Neither party is going to enforce border security, regardless of what a new laws says. If they are, then enforce the law already on the books. This new legislation is nothing more than new amnesty.

I don´t believe anything this steaming bunch says. The money for the fence has already been authorized. Click Here if you Like this Comment 9 persons like this.
The problem is *not* the fence or the few poor idiots who tunnel under or climb over it. The problem is the thousands who come across the border daily in their cars and trucks---LEGALLY---on a shopper´s visa ($55) or to visit relatives in the states. They have *no intention* of returning to their own countries, despite what they claimed on their visas. Once they cross the border, they rely on complex networks to spread out across America. They do this bc they know we have no way to track them one they´ve *legally* crossed the border. NEITHER party wants a solution: Jon Kyl once told me the GOP wants the cheap labor and John Edwards (yeah, him) told me the Demos need the votes. There ya go, in a nutshell.

Forgive double post.But must respond.If we are not willing to shoot invaders of the natiol territory, then what is the DEW Lline and similar efforts for? Why bother to have a military? Border crossers are no less invaders than would be a division of the Russian army. I think we would shoot at them. Click Here if you Like this Comment 7 persons like this.
No, we´re not going to shoot border crossers on sight.However, it is my opinion that the answer to illegal crossings is some variation on the old Bracero program. When people could legally cross with a card in order to work, they returned home. Illegal crossings in the fifties and early sixties dropped to almost nothing. Card carrying guest-workers wouldn´t have access to federal assistance, but could still provide the labor required in our food, resort and landscaping industries. Both parties seem to resist any form of guest-worker and I don´t know why. Is it the unions? Click Here if you Like this Comment 10 persons like this.
Well why not just post the border with Spanish NO TRESPASSING signs ? That would work , right ? Click Here if you Like this Comment 8 persons like this.
But, #14, if they crossed legally "to work"---HOW could we insure that they´d go HOME each night? We have no way to monitor them once they cross into this country. Why would they go through the hassle of traveling hither and yon when instead they can just stay here unemployed and collect numerous benefits? Click Here if you Like this Comment 7 persons like this.
They say that the immigration bill will expand legal immigration up to 46 million alien workers coming here over the next ten years. That means that just about every Mexican who wants to come to the USA to work will be able to sign up for a visa and come here with his or her family.Since there will be essentially "open borders" why do they need all the enhanced border security? The liberal Democrats will water it down to ineffectiveness anyway as soon as the amnesty starts, and in any case Obama will ignore it and refuse to enforce it.What they are doing with this so-called border security amendment is essentially moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic to fool enough outside the beltway conservative rubes, so that the wimpy Republicans can give the liberal Democrats enough political cover to pass their long-term voter expansion plan.

Last comment. #14, of course in the fifties and sixties, there weren´t computers to track the Braceros. Now, there are. To get a Guest Worker card, they would be entered in a computer, then their travels and exits would be in the computer, too. The cards are, or used to be, for six month periods. We cannot get control of anything at all until we come up with a method of getting a database of who is here, where they are and what they are doing. A combination of programs will be necessary, too, but we have to be able to track them at least until they are naturalized. Naturalization is not citizenship.

President nominates NCUA board member
Late Wednesday, President Obama submitted a nomination for the NCUA board seat previously held by Gigi Hyland. The White House is asking former Oregon State Senator Rick Metsger (D) to take on a new role. Metsger served in the state senate for 12 years ascending to the position of Senate president pro-tempore. He has credit union experience having served on the board of Portland Teachers Credit Union for eight years. He is currently a board member of Financial Beginnings, a nonprofit focused on student financial literacy.
NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz welcomes the president's nomination of Metsger.
"Rick will bring valuable perspectives to the NCUA board, having served as a volunteer credit union board member as well as a state legislator. I look forward to welcoming Rick as soon as he is seated on the NCUA board. We will work collaboratively to fulfill NCUA's mission: to protect the safety and soundness of America's federally insured credit unions and their 94 million members," said Matz.
The nomination was also looked at as a positive from the Northwest Credit Union Association, who works with the Oregon legislature.
"Sen. Metsger has a strong background of public service and certainly understands the complexity of the financial services landscape including the importance of safety and soundness in the credit union system," said Northwest Credit Union Association President/CEO Troy Stang.

Hello there, I'm just some teenage kid who likes games, and likes to talk about them. I plan on mostly doing reviews of newer games and opinion pieces on the current going-ons in the industry.
I have another blog at
Where I do random game and anime reviews. No longer posting them here, because I like writing, but not posting. I also am doing a narrative that is somewhat fanfiction with some Dtoid people, somewhat internet critique, but mostly insanity, check it out
I am winging everything that I do, so if I mess up please tell me, although please be kind about it. Since I always assume the worse when I read text from another person and have to force myself to read and respond you the comments of you lovely people, because I am a wimp like that.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
! But is this series of murder cases interesting enough to have me search through the series? Lets find out!
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Review
Release Date: 11/10/2005
Platforms: DS(Reviewed), GBA, WiiWare, iOS
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Price I Paid: $14
The game centers around Phoenix Wright, a rookie defense attorney during his first trial. His job consists of three tasks, searching around crime scenes to steal little knickknacks, showing people everything in his pocket, and pointing out contradictions in witnesss testimonies via evidence. However, he is a newbie, and always need the help of his tutor Mia Fey, and she is needed in every single case. And I do mean all five of them And even when she is nowhere around, he still has epiphanies about her telling him what to do. I think that might be a way of showing how he defend murder suspect himself, but it makes him feel incompetent. And he really isnt since the trials you get into become simple murder, to elaborate schemes spanning a decade of deception and destroyed evidence.
The game keeps on saying how he needs to get 3 years under his belt, but he seems to be just as good, since he mostly engages against a somewhat ruthless prosecutor, MIles Edgeworth. Serving as the closest thing to an enemy in this game, Edgey has over two years of very successful experience, and he gets foiled every time you meet him. I appreciate that they are establishing him and not having a bunch of adversaries, but seeing as how colorful the supporting cast of suspects and witnesses is, I must wonder why they feared to add more. This is the exception to my rule of keeping the character count low, from the hyperactive kid who has been held back twice, the 1337 5934k1ng film director, and the cartoonishly overconfident posh final boss. Well, hes the final boss of the fourth case, but the fifth one was added for this remake, since this was a GBA title. And guess what? It has next to nothing to do with the first three titles.
Speaking of characters, to juxtapose Phoenixs straight man logic based approach that is not afraid to joke, we have a hyperactive 17-year-old sidekick. Mias sister, Maya Fey is a spirit medium who, and this is fairly common knowledge, so I dont feel bad about spoiling it, channels her... Well endowed older sister so that she can talk to Phoenix and present withheld evidence. And moving to the gameplay, that is something that really ticks me off about certain items in this game, more than once, you lose a piece of paper that you could have just as easily copied the document, and you wouldnt have lost it. This also applies into the contradiction search, which is called cross-examining. There are a lot of descriptions that request them to do things in a certain way, and for presenting a related piece of evidence, I was penalized by losing one of my five points. Writing a very precise cross examinations would take hours upon hours just to write for a game like this, but who uses the term, sound the clock, when the clock states the audio of the time?
But the actual writing has a lot of clever twists, funny lines, great characterization, and it keeps on feeling fresh even though you repeat the pattern of, search for stuff and talk to chaps, use your evidence in court, leave and find more info, over 15 times. But the actual searching part amounts to just placing a cursor on something, move to another room when you ran out of stuff to do, and hope the green text appears to state the area, because that means you are on the right track.
And I understand having a linear path structure, but most areas feel jumbled together, rather than important sections in a city. A simple map system could have remedied this, since that at least gives you a sense of location. However, regardless of the lack of gameplay in these parts, it is where you get the majority of the character bits, and the constant revelations do push me through figuring out what was going on that boat on Christmas Eve, and why people think theres a loch ness monster here.
But the cross examinations in the courtroom remind me a lot about the puzzles from Portal 2. You have all the time you need, but if you do manage to get the contradiction right, the sense of satisfaction is most certainly noteworthy. Especially because of how on the surface level, the cases should be done within a day, rather than three, which is the maximum for cases in Japan, I think. Well maybe not, since the game takes place in 2016, where black and white photos are the norm.
Visually this is still a GBA title, except for the final case which has 3D models and touch screen segments. However, due to the nature of visual novels, they are allowed to be very well drawn and this game offers one of the best mixes between realistic proportions, and anime style expressions. And while limited, the animation is very smooth, but I praise a 2D game for having more than two mouth movements per characters, so maybe its not that great, but it is very distinct in the designs of the characters, and the backgrounds look lovely, so that must amount for something. Oh, and the music is pretty great as well. There are only a few tracks, but all of them are memorable, grant the title personality, and enhance the mood. A sound cue and screen shake can really help the mood a lot, and when you are basically taking a script and putting it into a game, you pretty much need that to justify it.
Phoenix Wright
impressed me. The gameplay is what I refer to as the good kind of repetitive, where the structure remains the same, but the set pieces are good enough to hold it through to the end. It also does something that I really enjoy seeing from a game, make you feel really smart when you figure out what is wrong with the information provided to you. And while you can often be overloaded with supplies, especially during the last case, that just amplifies the feeling of accomplishment.
The characters you interact with are memorable and very expressive, with each of them having a clear personality by the end, and I do mean every character to have a very well drawn series of animation cells. Tie that in with memorable music that Ive been humming since I started playing, and sound cues that make it feel like a waste of time to play the game without them, and you have a very well done package that is more than good enough for me to dive into the other 4 games we got thus far. Well, when I find them for cheap.

See my desire for the lust, fucked up what was love
from Wale – The Eyes of the TIger Lyrics on Rap Genius
Tiger's girlfriends were just girls who he lusted after. He didn't actually love them. However, the end result was that he lost the woman he loved (Elin) because of lust.
Elin is a super fox

There is a variety of methods used for remote sensing of objects such as acoustic, ground penetration radar detection, electromagnetic induction spectroscopy, infrared imaging, thermal neutron activation, core four-pole resonance, neutron backscattering, X-ray backscattering, and magnetic anomaly. The method that has to be used can be determined by the type of material, geographical location (underground or water), etc. Recent studies have been concentrated on the improvement of the criteria such as sensing distances, accuracy, and power consumption. In this paper, anomalies created by materials with magnetic characteristics at the perpendicular component of the Earth magnetic field have been detected by using a KMZ51 anisotropic magnetoresistive sensor with high sensitivity and low power consumption, and also, the effects of physical properties of materials on magnetic anomaly have been investigated. By analyzing the graphics obtained by 2-D motion of the sensor over the material, the most appropriate mathematical curves and formulas have been determined. Based on the physical properties of the magnetic material, the variations of the variables constituting the formulas of the curves have been analyzed. The contribution of this paper is the use of the results of these analyses for the purpose of identification of an unknown magnetic material. This is a new approach for the detection and determination of materials with magnetic characteristics by sensing the variation at the perpendicular component of the Earth magnetic field. The identification process has been explained in detail in this paper.
