Tracking sweepstakes wins is useful for many reasons. For one thing, you can make sure that you really receive all of the prizes that you've won. For another, it will save you a lot of time (and avoid costly errors) at tax time. And finally, reviewing all of the prizes you've won helps keep you motivated to enter sweepstakes and to win even more.
By tracking your wins, you can also see what methods of sweeping work best for you. Here is some of the information you might want to include when you track sweepstakes prizes. You can pick and choose which categories are most important to you.
1. Date the Prize was Won
The first column in my prize tracker spreadsheet is the date the prize was won. Personally, I like to tally up my wins for each month, and report them in the Monthly Winners' Roundup, and that's easier to do if I track the dates of my prize wins.2. Sweepstakes Sponsor and Fulfillment Company
Next, I make note of the sweepstakes sponsor and fulfillment company on my sweepstakes tracker spreadsheet, assuming I know them both. For example, the sponsor of one of my recent wins was Merry Maids, and ePrize was the fulfillment company. This helps me keep track of which companies are lucky for me, and which never seem to work.3. What Prize You Won
Next, I describe the prize on my sweepstakes tracker spreadsheet. This is always the most fun part for me -- making note of a fun prize and anticipating how great it will be to receive it!4. ARV of the Prize
The ARV of a sweepstakes prize is the sponsor's estimate of its value. This is an important value to track, especially since it can affect your taxes.5. FMV of the Prize
FMV stands for Fair Market Value, and it's this amount, and not the ARV, that you need to pay taxes on. Sometimes the ARV and FMV will be the same, but at other times you can find proof that the prize is selling for less when you receive it. Then you could reduce your taxes by Disputing the ARV on Your Taxes.6. Entry Frequency of the Sweepstake
Entry frequency is something I like to include on my sweepstakes tracking spreadsheet because I like to see which entry methods are the most successful. Because I track the sweepstakes frequency, I've noticed that I tend to do better with daily sweepstakes than one-entry. This is one example of how tracking your prizes can help you to win even more!7. Type of Sweepstake
I like to keep a record of which types of sweepstakes I win, so that I can see which entry methods work best for me. Some common types of sweepstakes you can track are:- Online sweepstakes
- Mail-in sweepstakes
- Contest (writing contest, photo or video contest, recipe contest, etc.)
- Instant win sweepstakes
- Trivia contest
- Social media sweepstakes
8. Time of Day of Your Win
This section of the sweepstakes tracking spreadsheet is optional, and only relevant to instant win sweepstakes. If you'd like to know whether entering in the morning, in the evening, on weekends, or on holidays pays off for you, you can note the time of day of your instant wins in this column.9. Win Notification Method
Some people like to track not only what they won, but also how they found out about it. It could be interesting to see whether more sweepstakes notifications come by mail, by telephone, or by another method.10. Date to Return the Affidavit
If I need to return an affidavit to claim my prize, I like to note the date in my sweepstakes tracking spreadsheet. This helps ensure that I don't forget or put off sending in the affidavit, cheating myself out of a prize. You can also put in the date the affy was actually returned, as proof to yourself it was sent in on time.11. When the Prize is Due to Arrive
Most sweepstakes rules state how long it takes from the time the winner is notified until the time the prize will be received. You can note the expected arrival date on your sweepstakes tracking spreadsheet, so that if the prize hasn't arrived within a few weeks of the due date, you can remember to ask the sponsor about it.12. Date Prize Was Received - And Your Reaction
The final entry on your sweepstakes tracking website is the date the prize actually arrived, and your reaction to it. It's fun to be able to look back later and see how excited you and your family members were when you received a prize. This is also a great source of motivation when it's been a while since your last win.Download a Free Prize Spreadsheet

"Anne's Song" is a song by Faith No More off their second album Introduce Yourself and was the second and last single released with Chuck Mosley on vocals. It failed to chart anywhere in the world making it Faith No More's most unsuccessful single although, according to allmusic, "should have been a hit". The music video produced was directed by Tamra Davis.
"HEY!" WHAT?? "Oh nothing, just wondering why it is you`re doing
that whatever it is you`re doing. "Oh yeah, why?" I dunno it just
doesn`t seem like something you`d be doing that`s all you of all
people, know what I mean? "Yeah I know it`s been bugging you since the
day I was born, huh? I asked my friend Anne about it. I said, `Anne,
Anne, Anne, what am I supposed to do,huh? It`s been bugging them since the
day that I was born.` She said `Do whatever the hell you want to do!
Now is the time where you can do anything, everything you do, anything it `s still gonna turn out great. You`ve got the world at your feet.`"
I never claimed to be different, I only said I was bored and she`s
tired of your uniqueness, it sends her over head first then the rest
of her follows, the breath of life, it never left her hollow...
I can do everything, she said, she says with a smile.
And I can go anywhere tonight, cause I`m with Anne.
Anne, Anne, Who? Anne Dagnabit Island princess girl with the juice
ooh what have we here? oh I see she brought her whole uptown contingent. First there`s Jonny, he always loves a party, he`s followed by Vinnie, who`s feelin` kinda skinny, he says "Hey Anne I`m starved what you got to eat, she
says "Vinnie you`re always hungry man get away from that fridge!
Here comes Lucy, she`s feelin` really sexy, she`s followed by her
boyfriend, who`d better not turn around, this time, or he`s bound to lose
her, yeah followed by Jamilla, who`s got the cream soda...
I can do anything I want I tell you again
We can go anywhere tonight, cause we`re with Anne
and we can do anything we want, I tell you again
We can go anywhere tonight, cause we`re with Anne

Project by Kim Higgins from Portland, Ore.
Kim started making dolls when her daughter was born. In this project, she makes a fantastic mermaid doll — one of her daughter's favorites.
Materials and Tools:
2 oz. Romney wool roving
4 oz. 100 percent clean carded lambswool batting
2" x 8" cotton tubular stockinette
2 oz. mohair yarn
strong white craft string
1/4 yard silk or cotton velour
cotton interlock knit
embroidery floss
winter gloves or other thick gloves
chop stick
5" dollmaking needle
ball point sewing needle
decorative trims
1. Wind a tight round ball of coarse sheep roving to create the head core. Cover the head with wool batting and then with stockinette so it creates a long shape attached to the head.
2. Stitch by hand with string to create eye lines, ear lines, nose, neck, breasts, waist, and buttocks.
3. Cover the head and body core with skin fabric. Sew the arm and tail, stuff with wool, and sew onto body. Make eye sockets and embroider eyes and mouth. Add cheek color.

Review by confirmed purchaser
Mark was very helpful, he was able to provide artwork for approval quickly. Product seems to be of good quality but what on earth do I do with the samples you sent? In this day and age of recycling it seems a waste to just throw them out, perhaps you could arrange for a prepaid return envelope when you send sample to very small companies like ourselves.

Book Description:"Homographesis" brings provocative and controversial readings of literary and cultural texts to gay critical analysis. Lee Edelman uses post-structuralist discourse and Lacanian psychoanalysis to revise and re-articulate the politics of sexuality. "Homographesis" addresses some of the most deeply-felt and hotly-debated issues of our time: sexual identity; homophobia and its relations to racism; men and their relation to feminism; AIDS and its representations; and the place of theory in literary study.

In this issue, Kuhn et al. (2007) report the complete structure of the 14-subunit yeast RNA polymerase (Pol) I enzyme at 12 Å resolution using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Their study reveals that three subunits of Pol I perform functions in transcription elongation that are outsourced to the transcription factors TFIIF and TFIIS in the analogous Pol II transcription system.

TMM Season 5
Good Morning Hoops Nation: January 20
WASHINGTON -- In the next several days, you're likely to read many accounts of these days by special columnists (even some sportswriters) who have spent the last few days being whisked from inaugural ball to celebrity gala, who've worn tuxedos to fine restaurants and will sit in special boxes watching the swearing-in -- so close to the podium as to see the pebble-grain pattern on the Bible. You will be treated to first-person stories written expressly to help you live this historic moment through their privileged eyes.
None of these will include sleeping two hours in a truck stop in Maryland, then sitting in four a.m. traffic among a sea of cars with license plates as far-flung as Oregon, Florida and New Mexico (
honk, honk -- hello, Rhode Island!
). Very few will mention the Greenbelt Metro station, heat packs, sharing Nutri-Grain bars with strangers, buying goofy XXL Obama-head t-shirts for the folks back home, or watching history unfold on a Jumbotron with 2 million new friends.
And that's all well and good. There's a long history of sending representatives from the hoi polloi into high society to send back missives on they've found, and a history just as long of those reporters becoming drunk on their own power of the press. But this time, the whole cycle feels incredibly inauthentic. That wasn't the way this moment was put together. Like a successful mid-major basketball team, this was built from the ground up, with no silver spoons or legacy or reputation to fall back on.
But we're not here to talk politics. All I know is that as of 12 noon Eastern time, there will be a basketball player in the White House. This wasn't something we could miss out on being a part of.
Hello, Bally Tuesday
As promised, a winner in last week's find-the-article contest. Chip W., step forward and claim your
new orange friend
. Use the
to send your mailing address, and use the same e-mail you used when you sent in your submission.
We're going to have to take one more week off to ease the Bally backlog; it's been a trying week here at TMM Mobile HQ, and we're focusing on making sure other things happen. A Bally-out, if you will.
Bailout Update
While I'm still a little heartbroken that Jose Juan Barea didn't call up and take care of our sudden operating deficit in one swoop, I have to thank the many donors who have brought us more than halfway to our total. I see a lot of names I know in the list, and also a lot of names I don't. It's very humbling to know that I'm doing a good enough job to merit this kind of consideration from total strangers, and I can only hope to continue to live up to your trust.
By Sunday, pessimism had given way to optimism that this could actually happen; raising over $1,000 with nothing more than a
1,000-word essay
(over a holiday weekend, no less) was a complete surprise. By Monday there was enough momentum that I spent a lot of time thinking about the future of the site. Assuming that I no longer have a traditional national outlet in 2009-10, and considering that the low click-through advertising rate makes corporate sponsorship unlikely, pledge drives may be a regular feature here. The trick now is to invent incentives for people to give.
Here's the short-term plan, a test of what could be a future of improved interactivity. Because ESPN.com can't afford to send me to a BracketBuster as in years past, and my audience can, where I go will be up to you. If and when we get to $4,000, everybody who sends a donation -- no matter how big or small -- will receive a ballot by e-mail, and will be invited to vote on which game I cover for this site. I will fly to that location, write posts (including my insanoid game capsules, which will find a new home here) and take pictures, then slip back into my regular schedule.
Does that sound exciting? Like the future of sports journalism? If you haven't done so, please consider doing so.
[link removed]
This could all end up being very interesting. It's not a
new idea
, but imagine a Season 6 with an itinerary that's voted on by donors to the site -- you tell me where to go, and I go there and cover the games. Of the people, by the people... the way it oughta be.
Conference Calls
Atlantic Sun:
In last night's biggest
OH Suh-
game, East Tennessee State (7-1)
destroyed three-time champion Belmont at home by 30
by holding the Bruins to 28 percent shooting and dominating them on the glass. Life's been tough for the Bucs since being relegated to the A-Sun from the SoCon three years ago (a league they had to abandon when the school voted to drop American-style football): all the talent in the conference, but no rings. Superguard
Courtney Pigram
may be a name you know if you keep half an eye on the league, but
Kevin Tiggs
is the team's scoring star. He shot 9-for-13 for 22 points against Belmont, which fell to 6-2. Jacksonville, which easily
won at Campbell's new building
over the weekend, is the other 7-1 team in what promises to be a great three-horse race down the stretch.
: Howard started the season on a 14-game win streak, but it might surprise you to know that it wasn't all guarantees... the school is rich enough that it doesn't have to play that many. The Bison (2-3) won their second straight last night in our game,
a nine-point ESPNU-er
over S.C. State. They'll get league co-leader Morgan State next, which was down in Florida last night
chomping on Bethune-Cookman by 34 points.
The Bears share the lead with Florida A&M, which
held off
Coppin State,
: The Prairie View feel-good story continues; that team is now 5-0 in the SWAC and has drawn even to 9-9 (highest win total in six years... in mid-January!) on the season as a whole. In our MLK G!O!T!N!, the Panthers disposed of Jackson State
, a victory keyed by the team's third straight outrebounding scenario. Jan. 31 is shaping up to be a huge day in this league, as that's when PVAM will go up against the other current undefeated, Alabama State. The Hornets are enjoying their bye week after winning at cross-state rival
Alabama A&M by 12 last Saturday
U'useless Stat of the Day
You may have heard from coaches that the most (u')useless stat in basketball is the block. If you're the home team, you get a big ovation out of a swat, but when it comes down to it, the ball usually goes out of bounds and the other team gets to reset with an inbound play or a quick hitter under the basket.
So far in Division I-only contests, there have been 108 examples of teams having double-digit blocks in a game. Just 41 of those were by teams beneath the Red Line. In the top 10 blocking performances by mids, five of those teams lost. Furthermore, the top three single-game leading teams fell short. On Dec. 19, High Point compiled 17 blocks but
lost by three to Youngstown State
(Cruz Daniels had eight). North Texas overcame Louisiana-Lafayette's 15 swats the day before, despite just one of its own; the Mean Green
still won that sun Belt tilt by 14
. Fairleigh Dickinson blocked 15 shots in an NEC game but
fell by eight
. Blocks: who needs 'em?

UK physician to TAU: Discipline pro-boycott academics
Prof. Stuart Stanton calls the school to take a stand after two of its lecturers call for support of a boycott of Israel.

LONDON – A Jewish community leader and prominent physician has written to the rector and president of Tel Aviv University, calling for the school to take a stand after two of its lecturers called for support of a boycott of Israel in a British newspaper last week.
Prof. Stuart Stanton, president of the British Society of Urogynecology and chairman of Hadassah UK, wrote to TAU rector Prof. Aron Shai and president Prof. Yossi Klafter after Prof. Rachel Giora and Dr. Anat Matar, along with 10 other Israeli activists, wrote a letter that was published in the
, calling for British author Ian McEwan to turn down the Jerusalem Prize.
McEwan is set to receive the prize, Israel's highest literary honor for foreign writers, at a ceremony at the Jerusalem International Book Fair on February 20.
The letter also reiterated support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign.
"As Israeli citizens who support the boycott, divestment and sanctions call on Israel, we believe that if Ian McEwan accepts the Jerusalem Prize in Jerusalem, it will make him a collaborator with Israel's worst human rights offenders and its 'business as usual' policy," the letter stated.
Maintaining that the prize was awarded by the Israeli establishment, "which is keen on branding Israel in general, and Jerusalem in particular, as beacons of enlightenment and democracy," the activists said McEwan would be playing into the hands of "cynical politicians who are trying to whitewash their systematic human rights violations."
Stanton – a visiting professor in Hadassah's Obstetrics and Gynecology Department who goes to Jerusalem to teach, consult and operate on a voluntary basis – said in his letter that with academic freedom comes responsibility, and that if the two lecturers had been working for a public or private company, they would have been suspended.
"Academic freedom is not just a privilege and a right, but it also entails a responsibility, and you must be painfully aware that many Jews, myself included, find this public call by other Israelis, particularly lecturers from your university, for boycott divestment and sanctions, utterly unacceptable and degrading," he said.
Calling for the university "to take a stand," he stated, "It is hard for me to understand how you will continue to employ them [the lecturers], and compromise and prejudice the name of your university. Their actions are totally counterproductive to fundraising for your university abroad, particularly in the UK.
"I hope you will give consideration to taking disciplinary action against them and look forward to hearing from you," he said.
"We are firmly against BDS in all its forms, but there is something particularly insidious in calling on writers and thinkers, and academics for that matter, to participate in boycotts," said Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. "Closed minds are not the solution to the problems in the region."
Last year, Matar, from TAU's philosophy department, was the guest speaker at an event advocating a boycott of Israel at London University's School for Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), a campus renowned for anti-Israel activity. Her talk was entitled "Supporting the Boycott of Israel: Campaigning from Within."
Both Giora, of the university's linguistics department, and Matar are active in the BDS campaign and are members of a group called "Boycott! Supporting the Palestinian BDS call from within." In 2009, they both stood in solidarity with Ben-Gurion University academic Neve Gordon, who was criticized for an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times calling for a boycott of Israel.
"As citizens and residents of the State of Israel, we stand with Dr. Gordon in echoing the Palestinian call for boycott, divestments, and sanctions, and in saying NO to the persecution of those who strive for freedom," they said.
Practical measures included adopting "wide, context-sensitive and sustainable boycotts of Israeli products, companies, academic and cultural institutions, and sports groups, similar to the actions taken against apartheid South Africa." They also called for the "canceling and blocking" of free trade and other preferential agreements with Israel.
The same year, they sent a letter signed by other activists to Madonna and Leonard Cohen, telling them to not play in Israel.
"A performance here would simply support for the illegal and inhumane policies [of Israel], described by many as war crimes and crimes against humanity," Giora said as the group's spokeswoman.
Recent recipients of such requests included singer Macy Gray, who, like McEwan, refused to heed to the call. Gray is set to play in Tel Aviv this weekend.

The River Flows
The river flows quiet and swift
It twists and turns as the waters drift
It branches and breaks—its fingers entwine
It grows and grows—snakes like a vine.
The river with the soft scent of a calm day
With the smell of clean—hanging—still—in the grey
And sweetness carried on the breath of morning
It caresses the river—the waters flowing.

To anyone whoever said something along the lines of "you couldn't pay me to go to a Raiders game," the East Bay's NFL franchise is getting close to calling your bluff.
The team announced this week that starting now, season tickets in the cheap seats will go for $250, or $25 a game. That's astoundingly inexpensive. As KCBS blogger Stan Bunger points out, the league average is three times that sum. Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum and on the other side of the bay, club seats in the 49ers new Santa Clara stadium cost $3,250.
The Oakland Raiders want to sell out more games and avoid the local television blackouts that contribute to a pernicious cycle of apathy toward the team. In addition to hawking the cheapest seats in the league, the team is blocking off sections of the coliseum to create the stadium with the fewest seats in the NFL.
"Our hope, our desire, is a new stadium at that site. This is the tool we're using this year to create that vibrant community of season-ticket holders," Amy Trask, the Raiders COO, told NFL.com.
NFL.com couldn't help but conclude with the obvious: "Of course, the Raiders' best solution for pumping life back into their stadium and fan base is to put a decent product on the field. Oakland hasn't qualified for the playoffs since the 2002 season. If you build a team, they will come."
Would You Pay $25 a Game to See the Raiders Next Season?
The franchise is offering the cheapest seats in the NFL in a bid to get more fans to the Coliseum.

Nope. The stadium is full of jacked up wanna be thugs looking for someone to take out their frustrations of their failures in life. They all think they have a right by purchasing a $100 ticket they can do anything inside the gates or parking lot. The lower the ticket price the worse the thuggery will be.
No thanks.

If I were a Raider's Fan, I would... it sounds like a good deal. Although, as CJ stated, I'd be concerned about increased crime. I remember a pre-season game with the Niners vs. the Raiders and there were a lot of incidents -- I said never again!

That's funny I was going to say the same thing about a lot of 49r fans. However, football fans of just about any team have that element whether you want to recognize it or not. I'll be going to the Raiders games as much as I can this year because of the access to BART.

Today part of | Djibouti Eritrea Ethiopia Somalia |
The Adal Sultanate or Kingdom of Adal (Somali: Saldaanada Cadal, Ge'ez: አዳል ʾAdāl, Arabic: سلطنة عدل) was a medieval multi-ethnic Muslim state located in the Horn of Africa from around 1415 to 1577.[2] At its height, the polity controlled large parts of modern-day Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Eritrea.
Adal is mentioned by name for the first time in the 14th century, in the context of the battles between the Muslims of the northern Somali and Afar seaboard and the Abyssinian King Amda Seyon I's Christian troops.[3] Adal originally had its capital in the port city of Zeila, situated in the eponymous Awdal region in modern-day northwestern Somalia. The polity at the time was an Emirate in the larger Ifat Sultanate ruled by the Walashma dynasty.[1]
In 1332, the King of Adal was slain in a military campaign aimed at halting Amda Seyon's march toward Zeila.[3] When the last Sultan of Ifat, Sa'ad ad-Din II, was also killed by Dawit I of Ethiopia at the port city of Zeila in 1410, his children escaped to Yemen, before later returning in 1415.[4] In the early 15th century, Adal's capital was moved further inland to the town of Dakkar, where Sabr ad-Din II, the eldest son of Sa'ad ad-Din II, established a new sultanate after his return from Yemen.[1][5] The land beyond the Awash River was left to the Ethiopian Solomonic Emperors.[6] During this period, Adal emerged as a center of Muslim resistance against the expanding Christian Abyssinian kingdom.[1]
After 1468, a new breed of rulers emerged on the Adal political scene. The dissidents opposed Walashma rule owing to a treaty that Sultan Muhammad ibn Badlay had signed with Emperor Baeda Maryam of Ethiopia, wherein Badlay agreed to submit yearly tribute. Adal's Emirs, who administered the provinces, interpreted the agreement as a betrayal of their independence and a retreat from the polity's longstanding policy of resistance to Abyssinian incursions. The main leader of this opposition was the Emir of Zeila, the Sultanate's richest province. As such, he was expected to pay the highest share of the annual tribute to be given to the Abyssinian Emperor.[7] Emir Laday Usman subsequently marched to Dakkar and seized power in 1471. However, Usman did not dismiss the Sultan from office, but instead gave made him a ceremonial position while retaining the real power for himself. Adal now came under the leadership of a powerful Emir who governed from a palace of a nominal Sultan.[8]
Amir Mahfuz who would fight with successive Emperors caused the death of the emperor called Na'od in 1508. But he was killed by the forces of Emperor Lebna Dengel in 1517. After Mahfuz, a civil war started for the office of Highest Amir of Adal. Five Amirs came to power in only two years. But at last, a matured and powerful leader called Garad Abuun Addus (Garad Abogn) assumed power. Who was loved by the people of Adal. When Garad Abogne was in power, he was defeated and killed by Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad, In 1554, under the initiative of Sultan Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad, Harar became the capital of Adal. This time, not only the young Amirs revolted but the whole country of Adal raised against the deal of Sultan Abubeker because Garad Abogne was loved by the whole people of the Sultanate. Many people went to join the force of a new young knight called Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi who claimed a revenge for the beloved Garad Abogne. A young man, Al-Ghazi assumed the power of Adal in 1527. However, he himself did not remove the Sultan, but instead let him in his nominal office. When Abubeker waged war on him, the young Ahmed ibn Ibrahim killed the nominal Sultan Abubeker and replaced him by his brother Umar Din.[9]
Adalite armies under the leadership of rulers such as Sabr ad-Din II, Mansur ad-Din, Jamal ad-Din II, Shams ad-Din and general Mahfuz subsequently continued the struggle against Abyssinian expansionism.
In the 16th century, Adal's headquarters were again relocated, this time to Harar. From this new capital, Adal organised an effective army led by Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi that invaded the Abyssinian empire.[1] This campaign is historically known as the Conquest of Abyssinia or Futuh al Habash. During the war, Ahmed pioneered the use of cannons supplied by the Ottoman Empire, which were deployed against Solomonic forces and their Portuguese allies led by Cristóvão da Gama. Some scholars argue that this conflict proved, through their use on both sides, the value of firearms such as the matchlock musket, cannons and the arquebus over traditional weapons.[10]
Sultans of Adal[edit]
Name | Reign | Note | |
1 | Sulṭān SabiradDīn SaʿadadDīn | 1415–1422 | Son of SaʿadadDīn Aḥmed, won some early victories before being soundly defeated by Emperor Yeshaq |
2 | Sulṭān Mansur SaʿadadDīn | 1422–1424 | Son of SaʿadadDīn Aḥmed, Defeated the Abyssinians at Yedaya, only to be defeated and imprisoned by Yeshaq |

4 | Sulṭān AḥmedudDīn "Badlay" SaʿadadDīn | 1433–1445 | Son of SaʿadadDīn Aḥmed, known to the Abyssinians as "Arwe Badlay" ("Badlay the Monster"). AḥmedudDīn turned the tide of war against the Abyssinians and decisively defeated the forces of Emperor Yeshaq and liberated the land of Ifat. AḥmedudDīn founded a new capital at Dakkar in the Adal region, near Harar, creating the Sultanate of Adal. He was killed in battle after he had launched a jihad to push the Abyssinians back out of Dawaro. |
5 | Sulṭān Maḥamed AḥmedudDīn | 1445–1472 | Son of AḥmedudDīn "Badlay" SaʿadadDīn, Maḥamed asked for help from the Mameluk Sultanate of Egypt in 1452, though this assistance was not forthcoming. He ended up signing a very short-lived truce with Baeda Maryam |
6 | Sulṭān ShamsadDin Maḥamed | 1472–1488 | Son of Maḥamed AḥmedudDīn, he was attacked by Emperor Eskender of Abyssinia in 1479, who sacked Dakkar and destroyed much of the city, though the Abyssinians did not attempt to occupy the city and were ambushed on the way home with heavy losses. |
7 | Sulṭān Maḥamed ʿAsharadDīn | 1488–1518 | Great-grandson of SaʿadadDīn Aḥmed of Ifat, he continued to fight to liberate Dawaro along with Garad Maḥfūẓ of Zeila. He was assassinated after a disastrous campaign in 1518 and the death of Garad Maḥfūẓ. |
8 | Sultan Maḥamed Abūbakar Maḥfūẓ | 1518–1519 | Seized the throne, sparking a conflict between the Karanle and Walashma |
9 | Sulṭān Abūbakar Maḥamed | 1518–1526 | He killed Garād Abūn and restored the Walashma dynasty, but Garād Abūn's cousin Imām Aḥmed Gurēy avenged his cousin's death and killed him. While Garād Abūn ruled in Dakkar, Abūbakar Maḥamed established himself at Harar in 1520, and this is often cited as when the capital moved. Abūbakar Maḥamed was the last Walashma sultan to have any real power. |

History of Somalia |
Somalia portal |
The rulers of the earlier Sultanate of Shewa and the Walashma princes of Ifat and Adal all possessed Arab genealogical traditions.[11]
During Adal's initial period, when it was centered on the port city of Zeila in present-day northwestern Somalia, the kingdom was primarily composed of Somalis, Afars and Arabs.[12]
There is some debate over the ethnic composition of Adal after its capital moved to modern-day Ethiopia. I.M Lewis states:
Somali forces contributed much to the Imām's victories. Shihab ad-Din, the Muslim chronicler of the period, writing between 1540 and 1560, mentions them frequently (Futūḥ al-Ḥabasha, ed. And trs. R. Besset Paris, 1897.). The most prominent Somali groups in the campaigns were the Samaroon or Gadabursi (Dir), Geri, Marrehān, and Harti – all Dārod clans. Shihāb d-Dīn is very vague as to their distribution and grazing areas, but describes the Harti as at the time in possession of the ancient eastern port of Mait. Of the Isāq only the Habar Magādle clan seem to have been involved and their distribution is not recorded. Finally several Dir clans also took part.[13]
This finding is supported in the more recent Oxford History of Islam:
The sultanate of Adal, which emerged as the major Muslim principality from 1420 to 1560, seems to have recruited its military force mainly from among the Somalis.[14]
Lewis, on the other hand, notes that the Imam's origins are unknown.[15] Ewald Wagner connects the name ʿAdäl with the Dankali (Afar) tribe Aḏaʿila and the Somali name for the clan Oda ʿAlï, proposing that the kingdom may have largely been composed of Afars.[16] Although Afars constituted a significant part of Adal, Didier Morin notes that "the exact influence of the ʿAfar inside the Kingdom of `Adal is still conjectural due to its multi-ethnic basis."[16] Nevertheless, Franz-Christoph Muth identifies Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi as Somali.[17]
According to the 14th-century historian Al-Umari, the people of Ifat spoke "Abyssinian and Arabic". J.D. Fage suggests that the 'Abyssinian' in this assertion denotes an Ethio-Semitic language.[18]
However, the 19th century Ethiopian historian Asma Giyorgis suggests that the Walashma themselves spoke Arabic, which is similar to Ge'ez.[19]
During its existence, Adal had relations and engaged in trade with other polities in Northeast Africa, the Near East, Europe and South Asia. Many of the historic cities in the Horn of Africa such as Maduna, Abasa and Berbera flourished under its reign with courtyard houses, mosques, shrines, walled enclosures and cisterns. Adal attained its peak in the 14th century, trading in slaves, ivory and other commodities with Abyssinia and kingdoms in Arabia through its chief port of Zeila.[1] The cities of the empire imported intricately colored glass bracelets and Chinese celadon for palace and home decoration.[20]

The Adalite military was divided in several sections such as the infantry consisting of swordsmen, archers and lancers that were commanded by various generals and lieutenants. These forces were complimented by a cavalry force and eventually later in the empire's history; by matchlock-technology and cannons during the Conquest of Abyssinia. The various divisions were symbolised with a distinct flag.
The Adalite soldiers donned elaborate helmets and steel-armour made up of chain-mail with overlapping tiers.[21] The Horsemen of Adal wore protective helmets that covered the entire face except for the eyes, and breastplates on their body, while they harnessed their horses in a similar fashion.[citation needed] In siege warfare, ladders were employed to scale buildings and other high positions such as hills and mountains.[citation needed]
Invasion of Abyssinia[edit]
This section needs additional citations for verification. (February 2014) |
In the mid-1520s, Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi conquered Adal and launched a holy war against Christian Ethiopia, which was then under the leadership of Lebna Dengel. Supplied by the Ottoman Empire with firearms, Ahmad was able to defeat the Ethiopians at the Battle of Shimbra Kure in 1529 and seize control of the wealthy Ethiopian highlands, though the Ethiopians continued to resist from the highlands. In 1541, the Portuguese, who had vested interests in the Indian Ocean, sent aid to the Ethiopians in the form of 400 musketeers. Adal, in response, received 900 from the Ottomans.
Imam Ahmad was initially successful against the Ethiopians while campaigning in the Autumn of 1542, killing the Portuguese commander Cristóvão da Gama in August that year. However, Portuguese musketry proved decisive in Adal's defeat at the Battle of Wayna Daga, near Lake Tana, in February 1543, where Ahmad was killed in battle. The Ethiopians subsequently retook the Amhara plateau and recouped their losses against Adal. The Ottomans, who had their own troubles to deal with in the Mediterranean, were unable to help Ahmad's successors. When Adal collapsed in 1577, the seat of the Sultanate shifted from Harar to Aussa in the desert region of Afar and a new sultanate began.[22]
Oromo expansion[edit]
After the conflict between Adal and Abyssinia had subsided, the conquest of the highland regions of Abyssinia and Adal by the Oromo (namely, through military expansion and the installation of the Gadaa socio-political system) ended in the contraction of both powers and changed regional dynamics for centuries to come. In essence, what had happened is that the populations of the highlands had not ceased to exist as a result of the Gadaa expansion, but were simply incorporated into a different socio-political system.
The Adal Sultanate left behind many structures and artefacts from its heyday. Numerous such historical edifices and items are found in the northwestern Awdal province of Somalia, as well as other parts of the Horn region where the polity held sway.
Archaeological excavations in the late 1800s and early 1900s at over fourteen sites in the vicinity of Borama in modern-day northwestern Somalia unearthed, among other artefacts, coins identified as having been derived from Kait Bey, the eighteenth Burji Mamluk Sultan of Egypt.[23] Most of these finds are associated with the medieval Adal Sultanate,[24] and were sent to the British Museum for preservation shortly after their discovery.[23]

Member Name: HS28
MAC Eyeshadow
Date: 14/07/09
Advantages: Massive range of colours and bold and vivid colours
Disadvantages: £11 a pot
*MAC Eye shadow*
MAC makeup really excites me and makes me want to part with my money. Don't get me wrong I love Clinique for the basics and stuff for daywear and I couldn't live without YSL touch éclat but MAC has something about it. I think it is the fact that it is so modern, trendy, bold and vibrant. It is also that is feels ore exclusive as not as readily available. I do get my basics from Clinque like my foundation and mascaras but I particularly like MAC for eye colours and for products to use on nights out
I have has quite a few eye products from them including pigment, crème base colour, coloured mascaras, bright and bold eyeliners, and lots of eye shadows.
**The Eye Shadow Range**
MAC do a fantastic range of basic eye shadows in fact if you look on the MAC website you will see over 15 in the range. They also do various other types of shadows including the pigment one I reviewed earlier and crème colour base as well as paint pot, solar bit sand warrior eye shadow.
I have a few of the basic eye shadows in bold, glittery and basic shades. These ones cost you £11 per pot and you get 1.5 grams again with no applicator or brush so a good thing I bought a brush from them. If I recall though if you take back your used pots they do some kind of reward scheme. They also sell refillable pans to go in the cases so you don't repurchase a whole case. Like I say the colours can be very dramatic and bold or fluorescent or glittery or quite simple base colours.
The tub is black with a plastic circular lid. You can see the colour of the eye shadow through this circular lid. It has a flip top lid and has the colour shade on the back of the pot.
****Applying it****
To apply you need a brush, applicator or possible finger. It isn't as tricky to apply as the pigment. I have an Aquadisiac Lusture pot which is basically a green marine style colour. It is pretty vivid and bold and I have worn with black mascara and eyeliner and also with green mascara and green eyeliner. I have worn this on nights out rather than day time as quite intense. This one has a glittery feel to it and looks more green/blue in application than in the box. If you use it loosely the colour is less vivid and could be used more casually for daytime. I have applied this without blending with another colour and find it builds up nicely as an eye shadow.
I also have a bright pink one similar to this and a glittery pale pink. The glittery pale pink unfortunately got battered in my bag and feel to pieces. I thought that wasn't so good considering it was £11 a pot and I would have thought my pigment eye shadow was more of a risky product to smash up. That was a shame as well as I used that more frequently as it was paler and better for a daywear eye shadow.
The effect of the eye shadow is similar to the pigment as it feels soft although less creamy. It also gives a glittery effect in the types that I have chosen though with over 150 to choose from they won't all be like that. If I had the money I would buy many more from the range as I love the different colours although I doubt I would wear them all anyway as they aren't all likely to suit my skin type. The colour does stay on well and is fine on its own or blending with paler and natural colours to tone down the intensity.
I would recommend this as a product as it lasts ages for the £11 cost. They offer such an abundance of colours to suit all tastes and it is easy to blend and gives a variant of effects.

National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC)
Feral Swine Damage Control Strategies
PROJECT GOAL: Generate and disseminate applied ecological information related to developing tools to control feral swine damage and wildlife diseases that affect humans and livestock.
Feral swine are an increasing problem in the United States and around the world. They destroy native vegetation, prey on wildlife and livestock, and transmit diseases to humans and livestock.
When responding to disease outbreaks, livestock owners, disease experts, and natural resource managers often reduce infected or susceptible animals through culling. In the event of a catastrophic disease outbreak such as foot-and-mouth disease or classical swine fever, a means for containing free-ranging feral swine would be crucial to the safety of the U.S. livestock industry.
In the United States, current culling and population management techniques for feral swine include recreational harvest, aerial gunning, trapping, and snaring. NWRC researchers are working to improve existing tools and develop new tools for managing feral swine. These efforts include developing and registering an oral toxicant, investigating new trapping techniques, and studying feral swine movement and behavior.
Project Accomplishments
Oral Toxicant - In a continuing effort to find new management tools for use with feral swine, NWRC researchers are collaborating with Australian scientists in the development and registration of a new oral toxicant called HOG-GONE®, which contains lethal doses of sodium nitrite.
"Sodium nitrite may be the 'Achilles Heel' of feral swine because of their sensitivity to this substance relative to many other mammals," notes NWRC's research wildlife biologist Fred Cunningham. "Since we currently do not have any toxicants registered for use with feral swine in the United States, we're very interested in evaluating its effectiveness here, but we're also concerned about potential nontarget hazards."
To better understand the relative sensitivities of feral swine, raccoons, and white-tailed deer to sodium nitrite, an NWRC scientist conducted oral gavage trials at the Kerr Wildlife Management Area in Texas. Results showed that raccoons were more sensitive and expired more readily than swine or deer after ingesting sodium nitrite. Deer were the least sensitive to it. Researchers believe the sensitivity of raccoons and white-tailed deer is such that they are at low risk of intoxication when sodium nitrite-based baits (i.e., HOG-GONE) are coupled with swine-specific delivery systems. Research continues on HOG-GONE with an emphasis on reducing nontarget risks and developing swine-specific delivery systems. Trapping - Without an effective registered toxicant in place, trapping continues to be one of the primary methods for controlling feral swine. Currently, numerous trap designs are used to capture feral swine; however, until recently, drop nets have not been evaluated. In a study conducted in Oklahoma between 2010 and 2011, NWRC scientists compared the effectiveness and efficiency of a drop net and a traditional corral trap for trapping feral swine. A mark and recapture analysis showed more swine were removed with drop nets than with corral traps. Efficiency estimates for the average time per capture were 1.9 hours for drop nets and 2.3 hours for corral traps. Feral swine did not appear to exhibit trap shyness around drop nets, which often allowed the researchers to capture entire family units in a single drop. The use of drop nets also eliminated the capture of nontarget species. The results of this study indicate that drop nets are an effective tool for capturing feral swine. Movement and Behavior - It is important to consider how feral swine respond to control operations when developing optimal management plans. To better understand feral swine behavior, NWRC scientists studied the effects of baiting on feral swine movements and the likelihood that baiting would reduce swine dispersal under culling pressure on the Rob and Bessie Welder Wildlife Foundation (WWF) in San Patricio County, TX. By placing global positioning system collars on feral swine, scientists were able to track their movement throughout control operations. Population-wide culling activities included trapping and shooting around a centralized bait station. Feral swine home ranges did not differ between the bait station site and other non-baited sites. However, the daily movement rates of feral swine at bait station sites were 39 percent greater than the movement rates of animals in non-baited areas.
"Opposite to what we thought might occur, baiting stations did not reduce movement in our treatment areas," states NWRC research wildlife biologist Fred Cunningham. "We do not recommend the use of baiting as an alternative to fencing for containing feral swine during culling activities."

How to create email accounts
Hi all,
I followed; The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 12.2 x86_64 (Apache2, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3) http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ot-ispconfig-3 to set up the server. It is now running. On browser: http://192.168.0.101/webmail/src/login.php start the TestCompany login I have no idea to login. Please advise where can I find instruction to setup email accounts on SquirrelMail? TIA B.R. satimis |
You dont have to setup accounts in squirrelmail as squirrelmail autmatically uses the email accounts that you created in ispconfig.
So the steps are: 1) Login to ispconfig. 2) Add a email domain. 3) Add a mailbox The mailbox login in squirrelmail is the email address that you created in ispconfig. Btw. Thats all decsribed in detail in the ispconfig 3 manual. |
Thanks for your advice. I'll check it later. I'm now working on another PC. A further question: Also I can't login on phymyadmin without username and password. Whether I have to use ISPConfig to create it? If YES please advise how? TIA B.R. satimis |
You can login to phpmyadmin with the user root and the mysql root password that you created during installation of your server. Beside that, you can create client databases in ispconfig and then login with the details that you created there into phpmyadmin.
Performed following steps; - start ISPConfig running on browser; https://192.168.0.101:8080 - login -> Email -> Add new Domain -> Email Mailbox -> Add new Mailbox etc. I got it, thanks. However I prefer running commands to set up email accounts on Postfix and hosting multiple websites on Apache2. But I could not find; /etc/apache2/sites-available/default ? # ls /etc/apache2/sites-available/ Code:
apps.vhost ispconfig.conf ispconfig.vhost # cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/apps.vhost Code:
B.R. satimis |
a2ensite default /etc/init.d/apache restart |
Hi till,
I suppose the I was following the wrong how-to; The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 12.2 x86_64 (Apache2, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3) Would following How-to be relevant for my use? I expect running commands to setup Virtual Hosting and email accounts. Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 12.10) http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-us...l-ubuntu-12.10 It would be quite easy for me installing another server. I'm running KVM on this PC. Thanks satimis |

SI Preseason All American team
This out today from SI.com:
Tim Tebow leads SI's 2009 Preseason All-America Team - NCAA Football - SI.com Players who I expect to get attention from the Pats: - QB Tim Tebow, Florida - BB has been open in his admiration of Tebow and his belief that the multi-purpose QB may be the wave of the future. If Tebow falls to the 2nd round I could easily see the Pats use one of their 3 picks on him. - RB Jonathan Dwyer, Georgia Tech - a 6'1" 230# beast with breakaway capability. My #1 prospect for the Pats right now - a young Corey Dillon. - RB Jahvid Best, Cal - a tremendous multi-purpose weapon. Percy Harvin without the off-field issues. Other possible players of interest include OT Bryan Buluga, DT Terrance "Mount" Cody, ILB Brandon Spikes, and OLB Sergio Kindle, but I expect most of them to go well before we get a chance to pick.
