Gifts for Young Readers
Welcome to my third annual attempt to answer the burning question: "How do I buy a book for a gift for a kid I don't know very well?"
At a recent gathering of school librarians, James Patterson, the perennially bestselling author and sponsor of the site Readkiddoread.com, said every holiday should be a reason to give a kid a book. I know that if someone gave me a book on Arbor Day would have taken me by surprise -- but in general, we are on the same page.
But while I couldn't agree more that books are nearly ideal gifts for kids, book selection comes with a lot of pressure: we demand, I think, more from books than from other kinds of gifts, and especially so when we're offering them to young minds. For example, we want to give young children a picture book with superior writing that sings, outstanding art that tells more of the story than the words, and that the story or information is developmentally appropriate. Finding just the book to fulfill all those goals can be more than a little daunting.
So, with an eye toward grandchildren, a friend with a newborn or that niece or nephew we only see when the holiday ornaments appear, I offer my librarian's experience and will attempt - without ever having laid eyes on the kids in question -- to do the impossible; recommend wonderfully appropriate new books for their reading pleasure.
What follows are my picks from the thousands of children's books published this year -- sorted by age group, and with some notes to help you spot just the right book for that young reader.
First things first: I am skipping the obvious titles. I am not unaware that there is a new Ivy and Bean, a fresh installment of Wimpy Kid and a sequel to the hit Hunger Games, titled Catching Fire, now available. If the children are readers, these sequels will not have escaped their notice. This round-up of titles is meant to steer you toward those books they haven't already devoured.
On to the books:
For the family with the new or newish baby a can't-miss-delight is Helen Oxenbury's Baby Love, a tiny boxed set of her board book classics, Clap Hands, All Fall Down, Tickle Tickle and Say Goodnight. Is there a two or three-year-old around? My favorite read aloud for this age group is The Little Dump Truck by Margery Cuyler. Readers can sing out "I'm a little dump truck/ run by Hard Hat Pete/,rattle-rattle-clatter, driving down the street.", to the tune of "I'm a little teapot". The jaunty rhyme matches perfectly with the bold graphic art and the heavy stock pages that will hold up to repeated readings.
It would be hard to be a parent of a preschooler and not know the work of Lucy Cousins, the creator of Maisy. Here she brings her strong black line and primary colors to the page to illustrate Yummy: Eight Favorite Fairy Tales. With not-too-scary pictures that are perfect for young children, these classic retellings include Little Red Riding Hood, "Grandmother, what big eyes you have," she said. The Three Billy Goats Gruff, "Trip, trap, trip, trap", Henny Penny -- and her equally verse-worthy friends, Cocky Locky, Goosey Poosey and Turkey Lurkey -- Goldilocks and the Three Bears and a welcome, unexpurgated version of the Three Little Pigs in which the first two pigs get eaten and the wolf ends up boiled in a pot of water.
But if I could only pick one picture book to give this year it would be The Lion and The Mouse retold and illustrated by Jerry Pinkney. The award-winning illustrator recasts this well-known Aesop's fable in the African Serengeti. To recap the famed tale -- Mouse is caught by Lion and pleads for her life, promising to do a good turn for him if and when the opportunity arises. Lion scoffs: What can a tiny rodent do for a great lion? But he does let her go. Then Lion is caught in a hunter's net snare. The mouse comes to his rescue, gnawing the rope to set him free. Pinkney has created fine art watercolor paintings for this nearly wordless rendition. Children will find themselves poring over the pictures, discovering hidden details -an insect in the brush or a frog in the corner of the page. This is also a good pick for a family for whom English is a second language -- the almost wordless picture-story can be "read" in any language.
Antoinette Portis, the bestselling breakout author/illustrator of Not A Box surprises this jaded children's librarian again with A Penguin Story. Our little protagonist penguin looks around and wonders about the colors prevalent in Antarctica, yearning for more than white of the snow, the black of the sky and the blue of the sea. She journeys away from all that she knows hoping to discover what is missing. Portis' bold graphic images are perfect for the preschool audience just discovering the world around them. Children will delight as they spot the new color -- probably before the reading grown-up.
Now, I know this is supposed to be about books but maybe you are looking for a whole family present. May I suggest that a house with preschoolers will be forever grateful to receive the Treasury of 100 Storybook Classics on DVD created by the award-winning producer Weston Woods . This is a collection of tried-and-true favorite stories, partially animated using the original picture book art. Many have celebrity narrators like Meryl Streep, Sarah Jessica Parker, Forest Whitaker, and Cyndi Lauper, among others. A wide variety of titles are represented from Bill Martin Jr's rollicking alphabet rhyme Chicka Chicka Boom Boom to Judy Sierra's collection of penguin verse in Antarctic Antics.
Some children are more interested in what one kid I know calls "real books" - that is, information books. Books about animals are among the most requested in my library. And children who want books about animals want "real" pictures. They want photographs. Here are three showstoppers -
For the very young is Creature ABC by Andrew Zuckerman. Spectacular wildlife photographs of animals on a stark white background are paired with capital and lower case letters. Zuckerman begins with a fairly typical sequence -- B is for bear, E is for elephant . What is U? Not so obvious; it's for porcupine fish, goldfish, arowana and koi who live Underwater. Don't miss the companion -- Creature Floor Puzzles, depicting elephant, tiger, lion and chimpanzee. Its giant pieces are perfect for a precocious preschooler.
For fives through seven-year-olds there is the Life-Size Zoo: From Tiny Rodents to Gigantic Elephants, An Actual Size Animal Encyclopedia. This spectacular photographic collection of twenty-one animals includes the familiar, such as the tiger and sea lion, as well as the not-so-common tapir with its flexible snout and the capybara, the largest living rodent in the world. Animals like the giraffe that are too big to be contained inside the book are captured on foldout pages. Fact-filled sidebars will entertain budding naturalists for hours.
For eight-year-olds and up, you want Animals Up Close: Zoom in on the World's Most Incredible Creatures. Igor Siwanowicz has photographed his favorite tiny animals in their natural habitats. Kids will be engrossed in the over-sized double-page spreads. The greater weevil found in Central Europe shows yellow markings made of short, thick scales that look like hairs. We can gaze into the eyes of the slender loris- (loris tardigradus) a gangly little primate that resides in Sri Lanka that is just 6 ½ inches long. Did you know that its huge eyes take up as much of its skull as its brain?
In this age of digital delivery four fiction titles stand out for their storytelling as well as their remarkable book-making. Kate DiCamillo, author of Newbery winning Tale of Despereaux gives us the gift of The Magician's Elephant. This is an original fairy tale of a boy, a lost sister, a magician who wants to do something spectacular, and, of course, an elephant. A lyrically written story of hope, it is a perfect family read-aloud. This classically written story is printed on heavy paper with dreamy illustrations creating a book to pass down to the next generation.
Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin is a fantasy of a different sort. This adventure comes in the shape of a quest tale set in ancient China, interspersed with folklore retellings. Minli lives with her parents in the shadow of Fruitless Mountain. Their lives are hard, and Minli is determined to search for the mythical Old Man in The Moon to change the family's luck. Along the way she befriends a flightless dragon and together they journey on. The episodic nature of the text will lend itself to evening family readings. The atmosphere of China is captured by Lin's own page decorations and ten rich color paintings overflowing detail and rich in symbolism.
Malice by Chris Wooding is the book that has gone viral at our school. I haven't seen my review copy in months. I imagine that it is being passed hand-to-hand, classroom to classroom, by the student reading underground,. Is it possible for a real kid to be trapped in a comic book? Seth and Kady don't believe it until their friend Luke goes missing. Wooding combines prose and comics for a terrifyingly original adventure -- perfect for the kids who just finished reading all of the Lightning Thief series.
The fourth novel to stand out from the crowded field is Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. The story emerges out of an alternative history of pre-WWI Europe: in a steampunk-inflected Europe, the British have developed technology based on manipulating DNA to create living machines. Two young teens find themselves trapped in the midst of world-shaking events. Keith Thompson's black and white drawings have a retro feel, invoking perhaps a leather-bound volume of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
A hot topic for tweens these day's is espionage. So wow them with The Real Spy's Guide to Becoming a Spy by Peter Earnest with Susan Harper in association with The International Spy Museum. The acknowledgements page teasingly states that the information contained within this volume "does not reflect the views of any government agency" but tells us that the contents have been reviewed by the CIA to prevent "disclosure of classified information." Whoa! This informal yet serious exposition of espionage asks the questions, why do we need spies? What do spies do? And who can become one? The discussions of spy terminology are particularly addictive: pocket litter, for example, is what a person carries in their pockets, handbags and briefcases; identification cards, credit cards, photographs, small objects, and receipts. A spy will create fake pocket litter to go with their cover (fake identity). The authors suggest prospective spies practice gathering information by reading newspapers, magazines and surreptitiously interviewing great-aunt Martha. (Spies need to have social skills as well as smarts.) The authors give tips on how to talk to anyone -- and get other people to talk to you.
Teens really can read anything. Why give a teen a young adult novel? Librarians would say because books that are published for young adults specifically speak to their concerns and point-of-view. Of course the secret life of teens is not one their Moms and Dads really want to talk about but publishers are experiencing a cross-over of young adult to an adult audience. Note the Twilight phenomenon. So if you know any teens or cousins even in their thirties don't let artificial labels stop you from sharing.
The most atypical young adult novel is Going Bovine by Libba Bray. Part Tom Robbins, part Fast Times at Ridgemont High and part Wizard of Oz. One would not expect a book about a slacker sixteen-year-old who is diagnosed with a fatal illness to be laugh-aloud funny. Go figure. At times surrealistic, other moments more real than real, this is one of the best of the year.
The typical contemporary young adult novel reveals and revels in the life of the "troubled teen". Tales of the Madman Underground is from the point of view of the ultra responsible teen and his cohort surviving their parents' remarkable lack of parenting skills, alcoholism, neglect and abuse with compassion and resilience. This ambitious dense volume is not for the faint of heart but for the teen fed up with the saccharine notes of the holiday season.
If you have the suspicion that your reader would prefer to use a book to temporarily escape this world altogether, turn to Kristin Cashore, who debuted with Graceling, one of the best young adult fantasy novels of last year. Now there is Fire. With this book -- more of a companion volume than a prequel -- we enter an imaginary world geographically removed from the kingdoms of the Graceling. Here there are the ordinary humans; farmers, shepherds, soldiers, a king, and his court -- but this other land is also populated by a mutant species of creatures known as "monsters." A monster mouse is mouse-like except that it is covered in brightly colored fur and is stunningly beautiful. There is a monster human with hair the color of flame. She is of devastating beauty and has the ability to bend other minds to her own. Cashore continues to explore the theme of self-determination, and she doesn't stint on the heartbreaking romance.
Every once in awhile an extraordinary book surfaces and we scratch our heads and say, "who is this for?" Tales from Outer Suburbia is that indefinable volume. Shaun Tan of the wordless fantasy immigrant tale The Arrival has created another work to defy categorization. A collection of richly illustrated pieces, some dotted with tiny colored-ink drawings, others featuring sweeping detailed paintings, it contains both a faux newspaper as well as scrapbooky instructions on how to make your own pet. The effects keep shifting: readers will wonder, question, laugh and sigh.
And every year there is the book for all ages. Julie Andrews had already proven that she was much more than a celebrity moonlighting as a writer with The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles and Mandy. Now The Julie Andrews Collection of Poems, Songs and Lullabies has brought together verse that will delight families across ages and generations. From classics like "My Bed Is a Boat" by Robert Louis Stephenson to "Sweet Dreams" by Ogden Nash, this volume defines the word "treasury". James McMullan's masterful watercolor paintings unify the disparate selections allowing song lyrics to mingle easily with limericks that fearlessly stand next to classic texts. Those hunting for a gift for the elementary classroom teacher need look no further.
Still unsure on how to choose the perfect book gift for the right aged child? Fear not: the Children's Book Committee of the Bank Street College of Education has been making suggestions for one hundred years. In this 100th anniversary edition of The Best Children's Books of the Year, they have provided not only recommendations by age and interest, (what, for example, do you suggest for a kid who loves mysteries) they have included tips for grown-ups on how to select the "just-right-book" to share with the children in their lives.

Thank you so much for this very useful list of books for kids. I have four kids (ages 5 to 13) and it's always so difficult to know what books they've read and which ones will they like. This list seems exceptional, a little bit off of the bestseller list and galvanizing stories, and I will check out many of them. You've made this year's Christmas shopping a lot easier.

Officials say there were no injuries to the 129 passengers and five crew members. Flight 4695 got stuck around 7 a.m. Thursday at MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma (rahn-KAHN'-koh-mah).
Southwest spokesman Paul Flaningan says moveable stairs were brought to the aircraft so everyone could get off and be bused to the terminal.
Flaningan says another jet is flying in from Baltimore to fly the passengers to Tampa. They're expected to arrive about five hours behind their initial schedule.
There was heavy rain overnight on Long Island, but Flaningan says it's not yet clear whether the weather played a role in the incident.

I'm a fan of A new group of running thoroughbreds with the All-star LMA anchoring the center. Go Blazers!
Looking forward to seeing LaMarcus tonight. I see a good blend of athletes, defenders, speed and bulk. If there were one area of concern, it would be scoring. Here's hoping Nico or Elliot turn into a consistent double digit scorer. We should be fine if that happens. Would love to hear everyone else's opinion.

Anaxagoras, part of a fresco in the National University of Athens

Era | Ancient philosophy |

Influenced by
Anaxagoras (/ˌænækˈsæɡərəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀναξαγόρας, Anaxagoras, "lord of the assembly"; c. 510 – 428 BC) was a Pre-Socratic Greek philosopher. Born in Clazomenae in Asia Minor, Anaxagoras was the first philosopher to bring philosophy from Ionia to Athens. He attempted to give a scientific account of eclipses, meteors, rainbows, and the sun, which he described as a fiery mass larger than the Peloponnese. According to Diogenes Laertius and Plutarch, he fled to Lampsacus due to a backlash against his pupil Pericles.
Anaxagoras is famous for introducing the cosmological concept of Nous (mind), as an ordering force. He regarded material substance as an infinite multitude of imperishable primary elements, referring all generation and disappearance to mixture and separation, respectively.
Anaxagoras appears to have had some amount of property and prospects of political influence in his native town of Clazomenae in Asia Minor. However, he supposedly surrendered both of these out of a fear that they would hinder his search for knowledge. The Roman author Valerius Maximus preserves a different tradition: Anaxagoras, coming home from a long voyage, found his property in ruin, and said: "If this had not perished, I would have." A sentence, denoted by Maximus, as being "possessed of sought-after wisdom!"[1][2] Although a Greek, he may have been a soldier of the Persian army when Clazomenae was suppressed during the Ionian Revolt.
In early manhood (c. 464–461 BC) he went to Athens, which was rapidly becoming the centre of Greek culture. There he is said to have remained for thirty years. Pericles learned to love and admire him, and the poet Euripides derived from him an enthusiasm for science and humanity.
Anaxagoras brought philosophy and the spirit of scientific inquiry from Ionia to Athens. His observations of the celestial bodies and the fall of meteorites led him to form new theories of the universal order. He attempted to give a scientific account of eclipses, meteors, rainbows, and the sun, which he described as a mass of blazing metal, larger than the Peloponnese. He was the first to explain that the moon shines due to reflected light from the sun. He also said that the moon had mountains and believed that it was inhabited. The heavenly bodies, he asserted, were masses of stone torn from the earth and ignited by rapid rotation. He explained that, though both sun and the stars were fiery stones, we do not feel the heat of the stars because of their enormous distance from earth. He thought that the earth is flat and floats supported by 'strong' air under it and disturbances in this air sometimes causes earthquakes.[3] These speculations made him vulnerable in Athens to a charge of impiety. Diogenes Laertius reports the story that he was prosecuted by Cleon for impiety, but Plutarch says that Pericles sent his former tutor, Anaxagoras, to Lampsacus for his own safety after the Athenians began to blame him for the Peloponnesian war.[4]
About 450 BC, according to Laertius, Pericles spoke in defense of Anaxagoras at his trial.[5] Even so, Anaxagoras was forced to retire from Athens to Lampsacus in Troad (c. 434–433 BC). He died there in around the year 428 BC. Citizens of Lampsacus erected an altar to Mind and Truth in his memory, and observed the anniversary of his death for many years.
Anaxagoras wrote a book of philosophy, but only fragments of the first part of this have survived, through preservation in work of Simplicius of Cilicia in the sixth century AD.
Cosmological theory[edit]
All things have existed from the beginning. But originally they existed in infinitesimally small fragments of themselves, endless in number and inextricably combined. All things existed in this mass, but in a confused and indistinguishable form. There were the seeds (spermata) or miniatures of wheat and flesh and gold in the primitive mixture; but these parts, of like nature with their wholes (the homoiomereiai of Aristotle), had to be eliminated from the complex mass before they could receive a definite name and character.
Mind arranged the segregation of like from unlike; panta chremata en omou eita nous elthon auta diekosmese. This peculiar thing, called Mind (Nous), was no less illimitable than the chaotic mass, but, unlike the logos of Heraclitus, it stood pure and independent (mounos ef eoutou), a thing of finer texture, alike in all its manifestations and everywhere the same. This subtle agent, possessed of all knowledge and power, is especially seen ruling in all the forms of life.[citation needed]
Mind causes motion. It rotated the primitive mixture, starting in one corner or point, and gradually extended until it gave distinctness and reality to the aggregates of like parts, working something like a centrifuge, and eventually creating the known cosmos. But even after it had done its best, the original intermixture of things was not wholly overcome. No one thing in the world is ever abruptly separated, as by the blow of an axe, from the rest of things.
It is noteworthy that Socrates (Plato, Phaedo, 98 B) accuses Anaxagoras of failing to differentiate between nous and psyche, while Aristotle (Metaphysics, Book I) objects that his nous is merely a deus ex machina to which he refuses to attribute design and knowledge.
Anaxagoras proceeded to give some account of the stages in the process from original chaos to present arrangements. The division into cold mist and warm ether first broke the spell of confusion. With increasing cold, the former gave rise to water, earth and stones. The seeds of life which continued floating in the air were carried down with the rains and produced vegetation. Animals, including man, sprang from the warm and moist clay. If these things be so, then the evidence of the senses must be held in slight esteem. We seem to see things coming into being and passing from it; but reflection tells us that decease and growth only mean a new aggregation (synkrisis) and disruption (diakrisis). Thus, Anaxagoras distrusted the senses, and gave the preference to the conclusions of reflection. Thus, he maintained that there must be blackness as well as whiteness in snow; how, otherwise, could it be turned into dark water?
Anaxagoras marked a turning-point in the history of philosophy. With him, speculation passes from the colonies of Greece to settle at Athens. By the theory of minute constituents of things, and his emphasis on mechanical processes in the formation of order, he paved the way for the atomic theory.
Literary references[edit]
Anaxagoras appears as a character in The Ionia Sanction, by Gary Corby
Anaxagoras is referred to and admired by Cyrus Spitama, the hero and narrator of Creation, by Gore Vidal. The book contains this passage, explaining how Anaxagoras became influential:
- [According to Anaxagoras] One of the largest things is a hot stone that we call the sun. When Anaxagoras was very young, he predicted that sooner or later a piece of the sun would break off and fall to earth. Twenty years ago, he was proved right. The whole world saw a fragment of the sun fall in a fiery arc through the sky, landing near Aegospotami in Thrace. When the fiery fragment cooled, it proved to be nothing more than a chunk of brown rock. Overnight Anaxagoras was famous. Today his book is read everywhere. You can buy a secondhand copy in the Agora for a drachma.[6]
William H. Gass begins his novel, The Tunnel (1995), with a quote from Anaxagoras: "The descent to hell is the same from every place."

Two of the primary responses in a cell when perturbed are modulation of the dynamics of its constituent gene expression and protein abundance to restore steady-state homeostasis. To obtain a detailed model of the restoration of this balance, it is necessary to examine the kinetics of transcription and translation, thus going beyond establishing mere abundance levels of transcripts and proteins. In this review we discuss proteomic approaches that utilize genomic tagging and metabolic labeling to reveal turnover kinetics for cellular proteins in a high-throughput manner. Novel metabolic and multiplexed labeling techniques coupled to mass spectrometry, in combination with next-generation sequencing approaches, provide tools for studying the principles of cellular adaptation and dynamics in unprecedented detail.

Tact when dealing with tactless people
Aug 01, 2008 04:32 AM »
My situation is sort of complex, but please bare with me. My father started a business with another brother in our community many years ago. Shortly there after it became apparent that this brother was not completely honest in his business dealings, and because of this my father eventually came to own this business fully. Since then this man has on several occasions insulted my father publicly especially at mosque gatherings, Eid Prayers ect. My father has always taken the highroad when it comes to this brother, he has on several occasions attempted to reconcile with him and make things better to no avail. I've always stayed out of this because frankly it is not my place.
Shortly after their business dealings went sour; my father began receiving typewritten notes all written in the same style: threatening him, saying low and nasty things that were not at all true about him. My father had a sneaking suspicion that his ex-business partner was the man behind these letters. However it was hard to pin the blame entirely on him since the letters were postmarked from different parts of our state and neighboring states. However, his feelings were confirmed when a mutual friend casually mentioned that the man had went to visit someone in a certain city, from which, on the same day, another one of these mystery letters was posted. Not interested in pursuing the matter my father ignored the letters, and eventually the letters stopped, and nobody except for my mom and my dad knew about them.
Aside from the bad mouthing at masjid functions, we really never heard from this man since then. However, I recently got married, and my husband and I had asked our guests to donate to an Islamic Charity in place of gifts. My father invited everyone he knew to my wedding except for this one man and his family. Shortly before my wedding my mother found a letter in the mailbox very similar to the one my father received years ago. When we (my mom and I) opened the letter it seemed like a casual note, but as we read on we realized it was a nasty letter, that suggested that my father use me as a prostitute to make more money for the charity we had named. This upset my mom greatly, but since it was so close to the wedding, I asked her to just throw away the letter without showing it to my dad since it was bound to make him extremely angry. However, we got another letter today, and it suggested the same thing. I will ignore this one as well, and I know that this man will have to answer to Allah about his actions. Additionally, something happy is about to happen in this man's family. It is something that his entire family has been making dua' about for a very long time.
Here's my dilemma, my father in law who is visiting for the better part of the year usually checks our mail. My father in law is really close to my family and knows the whole story behind my father's business, additionally my father in law is not as patient or forgiving as my dad. I am afraid that one of these days, my father in law will open up one of these letters and sabotage the happy occasion in this man's family. Is this fear unreasonable? Should I warn this man about the consequences of his actions? Part of me says that I shouldn't care, but masha Allah, the rest of this man's family is full of really terrific people that I love dearly and really want the best for.

since you are worried about the family, you can warn him once, and after that whatever he decides, he faces the consequences.

I wouldnt warn him at all. If you try to wanr him it may well get you into trouble.
I'd leave it and allow the natural outcome of this to occur. If its a confrontation with your father in law then so be it, he clearly needs to be told in no uncertain terms that his behaviour is unacceptable.
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. Surah 2 Verse 186

Assalamu Allaykum
Do his family know about these letters he has been sending ?and do they know he is that rude and bad to call you prostitute or what ever before that ? Or this is a surprise to them as well if they are informed ?
If they know he is that type pf person but they have no control over him (useless among the family)then no need to warn him because he is shameless already so nothing he fears
At the same time your ignorance would reveal to him his letters are not making any impact which is a kind of hitting him back with his own bullet
At the meantime, if you are assuming such a letter would come into your father in-law's hand ,I would suggest if you discuss this matter with your father in-law so that it wont be a surprise.This avoids any risky reaction your father would take at a moment of angre .so let him expect and prepare for the right and wise reaction.
As for yourself about what he says or wants to do ,you can handle the case to ALLAH and leave it .He he never lets you down
Good luck

i think that's good advice. your FIL should not get a hold of the letter (nor should he be checking your father's mail, even if they are brothers, but oh well).
i think your father should confront the man. there's a nice but firm way to do it. i definitely think he is crossing the line when he calls you a prostitute - and that must be very difficult for your family to see in written form.
your father can take into confidence someone the guy trusts or respects, and the matter can be concluded with one conversation. and if he continues to write the letters after that, tell him that the matter will be taken to the authorities. and then follow through with it. get a restraining order (whereby he is not allowed to correspond with you guys in any shape or form)
adults are usually very good at this kind of thing. but there needs to be someone else involved.

Salam alaikum wrb,
Honorable sister,
For business disputes, or any other transactions, it is encumbant on one to bring the issue in front of
a knowledgable imam, who could make a judgment based on Allah's commands, and not follow one's own
personal judgement. What Allah and His Messenger ordained is what is right and correct, not personal views.
After the judgement, one must accept it completely and wholeheartedly, and not fall into disobedience of the ordainments of Allah.
For the letters, after reading them, you should not let them bother you and affect you psychologically and emotionally, especially prolonged, but know that you are honorable in the sight of Allah, because you are obedient to Him, and follow His commands and ordainments. You should forget about these letters and don't let them bother you, and concentrate on learning the deen of Allah.
May Allah bless your recent marriage, and join you two together with goodness.
And Allah knows
Salam alaikum
May Allah increase you in knowledge.
Take a look at my site:

Solutions and Ideas
That is what we are about. In our August issue, coming out shortly in print and digital, one of our feature articles will be selecting the right pneumatic tubing for the job.
Making the right component selection is critical for the successful operation of any machine. In this article titled
Guidelines for Tubing Selection
, we identify the seven basic factors to consider to help pin down the tubing that best suits the job. Now, there is a solution.
As for ideas, we have a feature in August titled Don't Buy a Lemon for Your Hydraulic System. The idea shared here is that careful consideration and selection of hydraulic components can help ensure that your machinery runs and successfully.
We will be sending out our digital issue soon and I will provide a link for you. It will have solutions and ideas.

Former MNF Announcer 'Dandy Don' Meredith Passes Away
Today the sports announcing world lost a great one; Don Meredith passed away at the age of 72. Meredith was one of the original Monday Night Football Announcers along with Howard Cosell and Keith Jackson. Meredith joined Monday Night Football after a great career as the Dallas Cowboys QB where he was just the second Cowboy inducted into their Ring of Honor. Meredith's signature call was probably him serenading the audience with Willie Nelson's "turn out the lights" when it looked as if the games outcome had been decided. Any announcer singing Willie Nelson on the air is quite all right with me.
Don retired from the booth in 1984 which was a little bit before my time. There's a lot of great tributes to him floating around this series of tubes that have more detail on why he was such a beloved announcer and person. Here's some of them.

You have no favorite boards.
Pretty good interview. Clears up some myths.
Nick Saban addressed his past in Miami, his future at Alabama and more in an unusually personal and revealing interview with a Miami radio show.
Taylor on playing for Saban: "I resisted the change to the 3-4 initially because I had been a 4-3 guy. I talked to him about it and he was short and sweet. He said, 'Look if you play in this scheme, you'll be a hall of famer.'"
Saban on biggest regret he had with Dolphins: "I think the biggest thing was handling the way I left. That's always been a thing with me that I've never felt really good about. The one thing I don't have a regret about is the way we dealt with the players."
Saban on choosing Daunte Culpepper over Drew Bress: "We did choose Drew Brees. I've never talked about this publicly, but that's the guy we made the first offer to and he didn't pass the physical."
Saban on having fun as the Dolphins' coach: "This is a great profession but if you're a competitor you want to win. The fun of it for me has always been the winning. If we had had better luck at the quarterback position we would have had a better chance of winning. We were pretty good defensively we just didn't get the execution we needed at the quarterback position."
Saban on the possibility of going back to the NFL: "I really enjoy what I'm doing here. I'm getting old now so I don't think we have too many moves left in us. You develop a lot of loyalty to the players you recruit. Hopefully, I'll be able to stay here a long, long time and we'll be able to have a lot of success.
Saban on how he handled the UA rumors leading up to his acceptance of the job: "I was trying to do the best thing for our team to be successful down the stretch. I didn't entertain any of that stuff until after the season because I was trying to give our team the best chance to win."
Le Batard asked Saban, "Where is the joy?": "It's here, it's here. Jason (Taylor) knows. When we win I'm the happiest guy in the world. Maybe I don't always show it because I'm worried about the next game, but I'm happy, I'm very happy."
Saban on yelling at people. "We haven't practiced in two weeks so I haven't had a chance to yell at anyone. We're starting back to tomorrow so everybody better tie it on."
Saban on what it's like to stand next to his statue: "I don't really stand by it, number one. The only thing I told them was, 'Look, if there is a statue here, it should be for the team.' I think it's a symbol of what the team accomplished and that's all it means to me."
Taylor asked Saban what the "brook trout look" really is: "I'm glad I finally found out you guys didn't know what I was talking about. Whenever you catch a fish and it's got those dead eyes and the mental energy isn't what it should be, that's what I was meaning. Maybe I should have articulated that better."
Saban on Heath Evans' depiction of Saban showing no concern for an ill Jeno James following a practice: "At the time, no one really realized that Jeno was having as tough of a time as he was. You come in from practice and go to walk upstairs and there are guys laying all over the place. Right after that I was with Jeno, as was Jason. Everyone has their perception of what happens, but Jeno was a great player and I have a lot of respect for him and if I didn't show that emotion at time it was because I wasn't aware of his condition at the time." (After the interview Taylor said Evans' depiction of the events was "not true.")
Jason Taylor gave Saban a "Roll Tide!" at the end of the segment.
viper_36 said...
Bump to hear the thoughts from the saban haters?
I've talked about Jason Taylor's thoughts about Nick Saban before but no one believed me and I couldn't provide a link. Well, here's the link. Jason Taylor, confirmed what we all knew. Heath Evans fabricated all that crap about Saban being an evil man wishing death upon his players.

A minimum GPA of 2.3 (4.0 scale) is required in transferable previous college work to be considered for admission. All transferable course work, regardless of grade, must be considered when calculating the GPA used to determine admission.
Most classes from regionally accredited colleges and universities transfer into St. Thomas. Our Transfer Credit Tool will help you see which credits will transfer, or for a comprehensive credit evaluation, contact your admissions counselor.
It all depends on the specific courses taken previously, their transferability and the student's intended major at St. Thomas. We recommend scheduling a personal visit with a transfer admissions counselor.
St. Thomas will convert all transfer credits taken from quarter system academic institutions to semester credit using the following conversion scale (dividing the number of quarter credits by 1.5).
Quarter Credits | Semester Credits |
6 | 4 |
5 | 3.3 |
4 | 2.7 |
3 | 2 |
2 | 1.3 |
1 | 0.7 |
There is no minimum; however, it is recommended to have 28+ semester credits prior to transferring. If you have less than 28 semester credits, we may ask to see an ACT or SAT score.
St. Thomas will accept only transfer courses in which the student has received a minimum grade of C- (1.7 value) or higher.
Credits received from online classes are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Students should submit syllabi of online classes to our Undergraduate Admissions Office for review. Please note that some departments do not accept online courses in satisfaction of core or major requirements.
To receive a bachelor's degree from St. Thomas, a student must successfully complete a minimum of 132 credits and fulfill all degree requirements. Of those 132 credits, students must complete a major with at least 28 semester credits in the major field and at least 84 credits outside of the major field.
Note: Each department retains the right to require that a substantial number of major or minor courses be taken at St. Thomas.
Thirty-two of the last 36 credits taken for a degree must be taken at St. Thomas.
Credits earned at Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) colleges and through study abroad programs sponsored by St. Thomas count toward the residency requirement.
Transfer students must file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to be considered for need-based aid including federal and state aid, such as grants, loans and work-study jobs. The St. Thomas school code is 002345.
Yes! The UST Transfer Award recognizes the academic accomplishments of transfer students who have positively contributed to their community and have demonstrated academic success at the post-secondary level. All newly-admitted* transfer students working on their first bachelor's degree will be considered. The award will be based on a review of the candidate's application for admission and all supporting documentation on file at the time of admission. Applicants will be reviewed on a rolling basis and recipients will be selected until the UST Transfer Award funds are exhausted. Please visit our Undergraduate Financial Aid website to learn more about the UST Transfer Award.
* Transfer students admitted to St. Thomas under any alternative admission status, are not eligible to receive a UST Transfer Award but may be eligible to receive need-based aid from the university or federal or state governments. Questions regarding admission status should be directed to the student's admissions counselor.

Most of us knew all the numbers released prior to the election were LIES.Every single metric was false. All to make O appear successful.The msm happily carried those lies as truth.
Face it, the current Administrations policies, out of control regulations and a general distrust of certain high level politicians totally trash America´s ability to recover. All the BS and talk in the world won´t compensate for the total incompetence and hate being spewed from this Administration.Until this set of morons is gone nothing will change, in fact it will get much worse.All you Low Information Takers out there, welcome to Liberal HELL!
Bush´s fault.But, it won´t keep the rubes on Wall Street from buying stock at prices = to 1000 years earnings.
Manufacturing is not dead - Obama and the Obama Media manufacture new excuses for him every day.
Obama circumvented enough US laws in order to ´hide´ his ´economic record´ to put the average citizen in jail...Which of course leads to the observation that Obama isn´t ´average´ - (and probably isn´t even a citizen).Since pretty much *every* word out of his mouth since entering politics can be proven to be either lies or self-aggrandizement - is anyone actually surprised at what an absolute failure he is?
Word is out. The economy shrunk -0.1 percent this quarter. Thanks Obama.
If these wing-nuts in Washington had any sense the labor department should be the first one to be shut down. What exactly do they do, other than making up numbers?
Brian Williams should resign as well.
What growth? 4.1 to 4.8 T$´s in 10 years is a growth rate of 1.6% per year.
No, not the excuses begin.The Excuses continue...

If you follow the contributors blogs, all of the literature is what you've read on their websites. I was a bit bummed with the recipes, since a lot of it was really stuff I've already been making, the mac & cheese, stuffed mushrooms, coffee/tea w/heavy cream and such. I use to love the noodles, I've been eating them for about 2 years and making everything I would have normally made with regular pasta with the noodles and did great. The bite they have (somewhat of a rubbery aldente texture) was a bit odd at first, but I got use to it. But a few weeks ago, I was making a tuna casserole, and it just sort of turned my stomach when I was rinsing and cooking the noodles. It was weird, but now I'm turned off of them. I hope to eat them again, but I don't feel like I'm missing out on too much right now.
I like fatbombs... I have a can of macadamia nuts and portioned out pine nuts at arms reach all the time... I buy heavy cream by the half gallon and 5 dozen eggs at a time at Costco. I make GRAVY like crazy for small portions of meat... a tuna casserole type mix that doesn't include the noddles but I get the exactl flavor and all sorts of crazyness!
The recipes and info in there is good for sure, I would say more so for anyone not use to LCHF eating or the Fat Fast. I go through phases of needing variety and phases of being perfectly fine eating a serving of macadamia nuts for a few meals and coffee/tea with cream. Also... since I live in two cities, I am only feeding myself throughout the week, so I know this is an advantage I have, I don't have to feed a family full time. That can be particularly stressful for some.
I'm currently on day 2 of FF, I'm going to do a FF for 3-4 each week for the next few weeks and do the normal LCHF the other days and see what happens. It's my only little experiment.

Nor'easter may bring heavy snow, strong winds to NH Friday
Winter storm watches were expanded to cover the entire state Wednesday morning for the storm, which is expected to move in Friday morning and linger into Saturday.
"I think the possibility of heavy snow is pretty good. Our recommendation is to continue to stay tuned," said John Jensenius, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
A low pressure system over the Northern Plains and a second over Texas are expected to merge into a powerful coastal storm off the Mid-Atlantic coast and then track northeast.
Jensenius said the southern and southeastern part of the state could see the highest snow totals with the strongest winds near the coast.
