Reflections of Islam on Glass - The 'Road to Heathrow'
Mon 05 Jul 2004
Everyone can help someone else, and not use their talents purely for themselves. By being helpful to mankind I see this as a way of serving God. For me, being creative is a way of getting closer to God and being grateful to God.
The 'Road to Heathrow' may not be the most spiritual or inspiring of journeys, but many of the great and the good have travelled this route before heading off to board planes for more exotic horizons. Most have done so in total oblivion of the artistic delights they're passing by, a stone's throw away from the A4.
It is a non-descript semi that houses the treasure trove of Iffat Khan Idrus' delightful works of art. Any visitor fortunate enough to see her work will be met by a spectacular display of calligraphy, glass paintings, collages and a whole host of more experimental types of art which all have one focus – praising the Creator and reaching out to others with Qur'anic quotes and Prophetic sayings.
Iffat Khan Idrus' glass painting began seven years ago, in the humble company of jam jars, experimenting with patterns and floral designs in glass paints. Yet this was only the beginning of her career which really came to fruition after she had been searching for some way of sharing the beautiful teachings of Islam. In her own words, she gives readers some insight about the motivation for her workÂ…
`I wanted to reach out to children and the Muslim community. They don't need to consider that art is drawing people and animals; there are many other ways of doing art and expressing oneself.
God has given everyone some ability and they should use their skills. I treat each item I paint as a personal thing. We should value our own skills and not degrade our own abilities. Everyone can help someone else, and not use their talents purely for themselves. By being helpful to mankind I see this as a way of serving God.
For me, being creative is a way of getting closer to God and being grateful to God. Everywhere there is so much ingratitude to God, yet He still provides us with so much beauty and so much to be thankful for. Our own gardens are so beautiful, I wonder about Jannah (paradise) and how that will look.
In our community there are many misconceptions about art. For example, in a bazaar, where I ran children's workshops, a boy wanted to paint a mug- he was discouraged from doing it by an adult relative saying that everyone will laugh at him for painting. Being creative is not a girl's thing only!'
Her art work is done primarily on large glass frames which combine a number of styles to produce a mixture of traditional Arabic calligraphy laid above a variety of backgrounds. Other popular items are vases, lamp stands and glass containers, each with unique designs. When starting out Iffat was fortunate to have the guidance and help of Abu Mustafa, the renowned calligrapher and artist.
Close up, each piece is a unique blend of textures and colours, to bring a harmonious feeling of the natural, particularly aquatic world and its colours. Other pieces draw on more intricate designs which synthesise traditional and contemporary tastes with striking contrasts in contour and shades. Iffat experiments with leaves, glass, gels, burning and baking paper, sewing, even crushing small objects to produce an effect that goes beyond a painting in a frame. Anyone who has seen Iffat's 2003-4 collection will be hard pushed to place her pieces of art in one particular category, for the inspiration for her style is multi-dimensional. On the one hand she has been influenced by some of the art nouveau names such as Charles Rene, whilst also being inspired by the Islamic ceramics, tiles and mosaic and metal work from around the Muslim world.
Iffat's work has primarily been available at Muslim events and conferences and has sold in Birmingham, at various locations in London and was notably auctioned at the Launch of MCBDirect last year in July. Some of her works are also part of Wycombe Council's moving exhibition called 'Salam Wycombe' which tours England. Much of the proceeds go towards the Education and Welfare Charity 'Al -Ansar' and the Muslim Women's Helpline.
Where ever your travels take you this summer, remember the 'Road to Heathrow' could take on a whole new meaning if you stop to view Iffat's art!
Suma Din was in conversation with Iffat Khan Idrus, the founder of 'Reflections of Islam on Glass.'

Market 360: The Best and Worst of the Week for US Equities, Commodities, Currencies, and More
For the week ending Friday, May 23, 2008, all major indices declined more that 3% for the week, their worst weekly drop since April 18. The Dow recorded its biggest 2-day point drop since the end of February. Skyrocketing oil prices and news from the Federal Reserves' FOMC minutes drove the declines. Over 10 billion shares and $200 billion traded this week in the CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge.
Next week the markets will look to preliminary GDP, Personal Income and Spending numbers. There will be fewer companies reporting earnings, but look to Dell and Costco to report on Thursday.
M&A, Deals, Corp Actions:
- Belgian brewer InBev approached its U.S. rival Anheuser-Busch with a $46 billion acquisition offer or $65/share. News of merger lifted BUD 9.43% for the week.
- Time Warner agreed to spin off its cable unit Time Warner Cable (TWC) and will distribute $10.9 billion in dividends to Time Warner Cable shareholders.
- NRG Energy proposed a deal to acquire Calpine Corp (CPN) for $11 billion in stock. The merger would create the largest power company in the US with a total market capitalization of $22 billion. Calpine which emerged from bankruptcy proceedings in January saw its shares jump 7.83% for the week.
- Halliburton , the world's second biggest oil services company, offered to buy U.K oil field service firm Expro International Group for $3.4 billion. Shares of Halliburton traded down 3.46% for the week.
- BCE Inc , a Canadian Telecommunication giant had the Quebec Court of Appeal reject its buyout offer of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, as the court found the deal unfair to bondholders. Shares of BCE plummeted 12.39% for the week.
- Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer stated on Friday that the company is not interested in pursuing a bid on Yahoo , as Microsoft is looking for other possible acquisitions.
- GE's NBC Universal and Blackstone Group (BX) are partnering to bid for the Weather Channel cable network for about $3-4 billion. The Weather Channel could potentially be combined with NBC's own Weather Plus Network. Shares of GE and BX were down 5.29% or 7.81% respectively for the week
Other Market Moving News:
- Sky high jet fuel prices led to a sell-off in the airlines sector with Continental (CAL), Delta (DAL), UAL Corp. (UAUA), and US Airways (LCC) shedding more than 25% in their stock values for the week. In order to address the spike in fuel costs, companies like AMR are charging fees for checking extra bags, and cutting down capacity. Some airlines see mergers as the only way to survive.
**Jet fuel costs - the average spot price is now up about 47% for the year. - Ford (F) cited that it will cut production of pickup trucks and full size SUV's by 15-20% as consumers turn to more fuel-efficient cars. Ford shares tumbled 15.29% for the week on negative production news.
- Pfizer's (PFE) drug Chantix was banned by the Federal Aviation administration after negative side effects were reported by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices. Shares of PFE fell 2.50% for the week.
- Crude oil had four consecutive days of record close from 5/16-5/21 and had an all-time intraday high of $135.09/barrel on 5/22. Soaring crude prices are tied to an increased global demand, output shortages, a weaker dollar making oil cheaper overseas, and market speculation.
**The latest surge in crude comes after OPEC's president was quoted as saying that his cartel won't boost its output before its next meeting on September 9th. Crude July contracts rose 4.88% for the week.
**According to EIA, the national average of regular unleaded gasoline hit a new record high at $3.831/gal on 5/22.
**As per AAA, the price of regular unleaded gasoline hit new record on 5/23 at $3.875/gal
**Diesel hit new records at $4.649/gal on 5/23 according to AAA. - RBOBgasoline closed at two new records on 5/20 & 5/21, and set an all-time intraday high of $3.43/gal on 5/22. June delivery contracts increased 5.35% for the week.
- Heating Oil gained 4.4% for the week as June contracts settled at three new records from 5/20-5/22, and hit an all-time high $4.0338/gal during electronic trading on 5/22.
- Gold for June delivery is -7.82% off from its record close price of $1004.3/ounce set on 3/18/08, but it is up 10.48% year to date as Gold's inflation hedging role increases with spikes in oil prices.
- The dollar index, was down 1.29% for the week, trading at late-April levels.
- The euro continued to gain momentum against the greenback on Friday after hitting a one-month intraday high of $1.5811/euro on Thursday. Midday Friday in New York, the euro was at $1.5773 from $1.5729 late Thursday.
- Ahead of the long weekend in the United States, the greenback was at Y103.24 yen on Friday from Y104.06 late Thursday, while the pound sterling traded slightly lower at $1.9796 from $1.9810 late Thursday.
- Dollar Strength? How about Costa Rica
-As the summer season kicks off, travelers in the U.S. might want to consider Costa Rica as a getaway destination. The U.S. dollar remains relatively strong versus the Costa Rican Colon, with one dollar purchasing 522.20 colons. The greenback has appreciated 5.37% year-to-day versus Costa Rica's currency.

Another thing which may be causing the problem is wear to the mechanical linkage. Check the places where the linkage pieces join. Worn bushings where the "rods go thru the holes", and even wear of such holes (making them oblong) will put more slack in your clutch. You might have to replace some of the linkage pieces. My 83 F150 has a linkage like that, and I had to replace the rod that runs from the bellcrank at the right side end of the pedal pivot rod through the floor and to the bellcrank underneath because the hole in the end of it that attached at the lower end wore out to the point that the hole was twice as long as it was wide ! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Feb 1998 02:07:39 -0500 From: "Michael Redden" Subject: Re: To Swap or not to swap... Jeff: The '71 F250 I have originally had a 300 six. The previous owner swapped a 302 into it. For the past 20 plus years, I've always had trucks with straight, or slant six cyl. I believe the max torque for the 302 V8 is close to that of the 300 six. If you primarily need low end torque for pulling, the 300 is great, and indestructable. I like having the 302V8, though. I've hauled heavy loads, no prob. and can go 70 to 75 mph for a hundred miles without feeling "wrapped out". I had the 302 in a '70 Mustang (from '74 to '77), and found it to be quite reliable. It gets decent gas milage, too. Just my impressions as a "user", not as an expert mechanic!

Yet Another Step For Accor With Free WiFi In The UK
After a batch of 500 hotels last year, and upgrades in Latin America, Accor Hotels is taking another step towards its hinted-at group-wide free WiFi with the news that all properties in the United Kingdom will offer this gratis going forward.
That�s 194 hotels in one fell swoop, across ibis budget, ibis, ibis Styles, Novotel, Mercure, Pullman and MGallery brands. Pullman only recently entered the UK market amidst plans to double the number of upscale hotels carrying the name to 150 by the end of this decade. The three Sofitel hotels (London St. James, Heathrow and Gatwick Airport) already offer free WiFi today.

Hearing and Vision Impaired Guests Welcome at Tasmania's Mercure
Many hotels will fit out a room that's accessible for people living with disabilities. The Mercure Hobart in Tasmania has made it even easier for guests require more than a wider door or a shower with no step. The property also has 8 rooms specifically for guests who are hearing and vision impaired, and is the first hotel in Australia to provide more accessibility for guests with disabilities not limited to mobility.
Each one of the eight rooms will feature tactile technology such as an alarm clock with strobe light and under pillow vibrating pad, which is responsive to the hotel�s fire alarm, independent room door bell and telephone unit.

What the Heck Is the A Club and How Can We Join?
Stay at the Sofitel Rio, and you can join the A Club.
When we first heard about the A Club, we wondered whether it was anything like the A-Team. We hoped it had something to do with Bradley Cooper. Alas, the two aren't related. But we couldn't be too bummed because the A Club is actually the new loyalty program for Accor Hotels, and we love hotel loyalty programs just as much as A-Team's pretty Face.
A Club gives you rewards at more than 2,000 hotels worldwide, including the Sofitel brand. For every dollar or Euro spent at a Sofitel a Pullman, a Gallery Novotel, a Suite Novotel, a Mercure and an Adagio hotel, you'll earn two points. You get awarded one point for every dollar or Euro spent at Ibis or All Seasons hotels.

Accor is Running a Vietnam Super Sale, But You Have To Hurry
No time to twiddle your thumbs on this one: today is the last day of the Accor sale on various hotels in gorgeous Vietnam.
Similar to the Australasia-wide sale Accor had going a few months ago, this one just runs for a few days, and the rates they're offering are up to 50% off standard.
The deals work like this: at every Novotel in Vietnam that includes the Novotel Dalat and the Novotel Nha Trang the rates are just $45 a night across the country. At fancier Accor properties like the Grand Mercure Phu Quocor the La Residence Hue, there's a flat rate of $75 a night in this sale. There are also $45 rates on a couple of Mercure hotels due to open soon, in Hanoi and Hue.
Vietnam hotel market is definitely heating up and Accor has another ten projects in the pipeline there, with tourism booming so this kind of sale might have the lowest prices you see in a while. You need to book through the Vietnam Super Sale website to get these prices and remember, by the end of today it'll all be over.

Accor Tempting Us With Three-Day Sale in Oz, Kiwiland and Asia
Accor Hotels in the Asia Pacific are getting ready for a three-day sale--they say there'll be a million rooms in 250 hotels up for grabs at rates discounted by more than 75%. The sale runs from February 24 to 26 and is for stays between April and July.
This region includes Australia, New Zealand and Asia, and includes a bunch of hotel chains that are all branded to Accor: Novotel, Mercure, Ibis and All Seasons are among them.
Right now at the super sale website all you can see is a tantalizing "Coming soon", but we'll be there early on February 24. We're after an Adelaide hotel room in May and we'll let you know what kind of bargain we snag.

Mercure Hotels Down Under Love the Environment
Hotels know that some guests are starting to prefer eco-friendly hotels, but the Mercure Hotels chain in Australia have decided that this particularly applies to business guests, and have launched a "carbon-neutral conferencing" option as part of the Mercure Meetings range of services.
That means that if you attend a conference being held at a Mercure Hotel in Australia, you can sit through the presentations with an easy conscience: because part of the conference package involves the hotel paying up for the full value of carbon offsets to emissions produced by the conference.

Beijing's Hotel Preparation: Mercure Wanshang Opening Soon
With those Beijing Olympics really knocking on the door, it's not surprising that we keep hearing about new hotels opening up in China. In February we are expecting the opening of the Mercure Wanshang Beijing, west of the city center, with 281 rooms to add to the accommodation possibilities for Beijing.
The Mercure Wanshang advertises itself as being close to all kinds of Beijing attractions, including Tian An Men Square, the Laoshan BMX Arena and even the Great Wall of China, but we're guessing that "close" here doesn't mean a two-minute stroll away. Interestingly only 43 out of the 281 rooms are being labeled as non-smoking rooms, so perhaps they are expecting a lot of local Chinese guests who expect to be able to smoke wherever they please. There will also be two swimming pools and four indoor tennis courts, though, so the healthy and fit are also invited.
It looks like WiFi in your room will be a standard state of affairs at the Mercure Wanshang, although the website is a bit ambiguous at this stage as to whether this will be complimentary or not. Even if it is, there are plenty of websites you just can't access from inside China, so it might not make that much difference.
Online bookings are available from February 18, with basic doubles going for as low as US$50 on a no-change, no-cancellation deal, or from $93 for the regular rack rate.

Shanghai Grand Mercure Going Chinese Five-Star
Over in Shanghai (home of the spit sack), fancy hotels are getting fancier. Formerly known as the Baolong Hotel, Shanghai, an ongoing renovation and a recent takeover means that the now-named Grand Mercure Baolong Hotel Shanghai is about to receive a five-star rating from the China National Tourism Association.
Launched as a Grand Mercure as recently as Jaunary 26, the two-phase renovation (much needed, according to some reviewers) is due to take another 12 months, so it should be fully five-star in time for the tourism rush of the Beijing Olympics. There'll be a new rooftop swimming pool, new gym and (something they seem quite proud of) a ballroom that has no columns.
With a location near Duolun Road, you can shop for antiques and handicrafts when you get sick of swimming or dancing in the column-free ballroom. It's not central Shanghai, but in an historic area instead; so beware if you think you'll be staying centrally. And it's probably bes to wait until it really turns 5-star.

Mercure Resort Great Keppel To Upgrade
If you've never been to the Mercure Resort Great Keppel Island in the tropical paradise of coastal Queensland, Australia, don't go just yet. A lot of previous guests reckon the island is great, but the accommodation needs some work: so wait until the new owners finish a multi-million dollar upgrade after its sale to a Sydney-based private investment group. The same guys also bought the nearby underwater observatory and plan to tie up the two properties and give resort guests tours of the underwater wonderland of fish and coral there.
What no renovation will change are some of the best points of a holiday at Great Keppel: there'll still be 17 beaches to choose from (some of which you won't need to share with anyone) and the glorious ocean's also not going anywhere. Neither, though, are a few nasties that pop up in the water sometimes:
Potentially dangerous marine stingers can be present in these waters between November and March each year. Whilst the risk of a sting is low, Management advise guests and visitors to take precautions and seek local advice before swimming in the ocean at these times.
So hopefully the new reno will be swish enough to keep you inside your rooms or at the pool over Australia's summer months.

A Mercure Hotel Opens in Bristol
Bristol's Brigstow Hotel has been taken over by Accor (who own Novotel and Sofitel), who've made it into Britain's second Mercure Hotel. It's a four-star boutique hotel right on the Avon River and is within walking distance of the main train station (five or fifteen minutes, depending on which website you believe). Typically for Novotel's small brother brand, it's meant to have its own special atmosphere without being overwhelming in either luxury or price.
If you're hitting Bristol then the new Mercure's location is pretty useful. It's directly on the river in the Welsh Back area--which is more in the middle of things than the name sounds. Passenger ferries run up and down here as well as touristy cruises, and the boats themselves are a distinctive and historic yellow. The better rooms have small balconies overlooking all this and you can stroll over the Welsh Back cobblestones with ease. And a final (important) point, in rainy England, the public parking is all undercover: trust us, you'll be pleased about this later.

Not a bad price I would buy for $30 but I just got this deal thru Amazon last week http://slickdeals.net/f/5959922-Used-Like-New-Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-3-with-DLC-Collection-1-PS3-19-Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops-II-Hardened-Edition-Xbox-31-98 It said it was pre-owned but it looked brand new to me with partial packaging mostly still intact. Of course all the bonus goodies & DLC were in there & hadn't been redeemed! When I purchased they had like 6 still available & up until a couple days ago still had 4...
It looked to me like these were returns where part of the outside packaging was just partially messed with so they couldn't sell them as "brand new" I think once other SD'rs received theirs & realized this, they went back & bought the remaining to resell! I guess I should have done that myself... |

I just got a PS3, and am looking for a shooter (not necessarily FPS) to play with my buddy. What's popular these days? 30 bucks is about the most I'd want to spend, and I was thinking of jumping on either this or the BF3 premium deal that's coming to target next week. Any help would be appreciated! |

When Black Ops II hits $15 or less, wake me up. I still haven't even opened my Black Ops 1 nor Halo 4. I'm in the middle of Dead Space 3 now. I have Gold for a few months now (for free) and have yet to play a multiplayer game on Gold. Gold is a waste for me except for rare Deals of Weak. It's all due to only having a few hours of gaming time per week due to work and family. You can't play much in 3 hours. It makes it really easy for me to wait for prices to drop.

What is a Foreign Commissioner of Deeds, and what do they do? – R.D., Pittsburgh, PA
A commissioner of deeds is appointed by the commissioning agency that oversees Notaries Public. They are authorized to take acknowledgements and oaths outside of their state, which will then be recorded within the state. Not all states appoint Commissioners of Deeds. In Pennsylvania, the commission of the last commissioner of deeds expired in 2008, six years after the position was abolished in 2002.

It is legit to see that shields can be used effectively in 'Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
Honestly, this video doesn't impress me. Nothing special going on, and the graphics and animation look blah.
i dont get you people, you all complain about how it is the same as Uncharted 2? like its not number one, number two if it was....what the hell is your point? i honestly dont want anything to just in the whole game, i was very hapy with uncahrted 2's online, its story animations graphics. its perfection and as long as this perfection is the same, yes same, and the story is different, in my eyes it still is the best game. its hard to improve on something with this quality and make no mistake it is not pulling a call of duty technique, it legitimately doesnt really haev much to improve on when played on this console.
It doesn't really look any different from Among Thieves. They almost look like the same exact game. Kinda concerning. But the dialogue and story still seem on par.
it got a 10/10 on ign guys. no need to flip out just cuz it got a 9, it doesnt mean the game isnt gonna be crap
Wow. The guy walked right by him and just stood there... and this guy sucks at the game
Another 3D game with a review that fails to so much as mention the feature. You guys need to change this trend... if it wasn't for the 3D, I wouldn't even buy this game.
i was expecting at least a 9.5/10 from gamespot...O comon IGN gave it a 10/10...anyway The game currently sits at 94 at gamerankings and 93 at metacritic...A MUST BUY! and those who don't own a PS3 yet must get it for Uncharted franchise...its EPIC !
I think the AI could use a little practice in knowing who their enemy is, because they just walk right by Drake there in the end.
Game looks awesome- but whoever is playing in this video could use a little practice =P

I am the mother of three wonderful grown children. My heart still goes out to those families. I cannot imagine losing a child. Parents are not supposed to have to bury their children.

Yes. No witnesses. No physical evidence to link the defendant to the site where the "murder" supposedly happened. No proof that there was a "murder" at all, since even the state's pathologist couldn't rule out an accidental drowning. And no motive or history of violence. This case should never have gone to trial.

The UK welcomed fewer overseas visitors in August this year despite the lure of the Olympics.
But those who did come spent more during their trips than those who visited in August 2011, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed.
Foreign residents took 3.03 million trips to the UK in August 2012 compared with 3.20 million in August last year.
But their spending rose from £2.17 billion in August 2011 to £2.38bn in August this year.
Overall, the UK has hosted 20.9 million visits from overseas residents in the first eight months of this year - about the same as January-August 2011.
Spending during these trips - at £12.32bn -is up 3% compared with the first eight months of last year.
The figures also showed that UK residents took 7.26 million trips abroad in August this year compared with 7.34 million in August 2011.
Spending by UK residents during these trips rose from £4.25bn in August 2011 to £4.5bn in August this year.
In the year so far, UK residents have spent £22.59bn during their trips abroad - a rise of 4% on the January-August 2011 total.

Well, you're starting to scare me slightly here, I'm afraid - as long as what I see on screen is believable in terms of the fictional universe in which it's set, I don't tend to agonise over the details to quite this degree! Still, I do understand where you're coming from.
Tell you what, though - those pictures do reinforce one thing in my mind, and that's that all of them are pretty impressive pieces of set design - yes, even the 'new' Enterprise bridge. Can't wait to see that sucker on the big screen! |
I draft for a living so being precise and technical is part of my personality.
I like the design of all the sets on Star Trek. They show alot of work. But I don't agree with the scheme in the series
The first starship to bear the name Enterprise was the USS Enterprise XCV 33O. It was established as canon in TMP (it's pic is seen in the Rec Room), and seen in ENT. Also, Enterprise NX-01 was never prefixed with "U.S.S."....a small note, but an important one as the XCV-330 was classified (CANON!) as U.S.S..... The "Dauntless Class" and even the "Dauntless" itself was a made up by Species 116 in the VOY episode "Hope & Fear". It does not actually exist in Trek time. Therefore, it's registry number doesn't mean anything, let alone the fact that "NX" is designated for prototypes, and can be reused over and over again. As long as Archer's Enterprise NX-01 was decommisioned before the Federation was founded, then there is no issue....
You people have ruined "Star Trek The Next Generation" for me. You are absolutely the most insufferable group of jackasses I have ever had the misfortune of spending an extended period of time with. I hope you all f@*#! die. - Stewie after spending the day with the TNG cast. |

We need, in short, to pay attention to the materiality of algorithmic processes. By that, I do not simply mean the materiality of the algorithmic processing (the circuits, server farms, internet cables, super-computers, and so on) but to the materiality of the procedural inputs. To the stuff that the algorithm mashes up, rearranges, and spits out.
CW Anderson, Culture Daily. The Materiality of Algorithms.
In what reads like a starting point for more posts on the subject, CUNY Prof Chris Anderson discusses what documents journalists may want to design algorithms for, and just how hard that task will be.
Algorithms doing magic inside massive data sets and search engines, while not mathematically simple, are generally easy to conceptualize — algorithms and their data are sitting in the computer, the algorithm sifts through the excel sheet in the background and bam! you have something.
But if you're working with poorly organized documents, it's difficult to simply plug them in.
Chris writes that the work required to include any document in a set will shape the algorithm that makes sense of the whole bunch. This will be a problem for journalists who want to examine any documents made without much forethought, which is to say: government documents, phone records from different companies and countries, eye witness reports, police sketches, mugshots, bank statements, tax forms, and hundreds of other things worth investigating.
Chris quotes Jonathan Stray's trouble preparing 4500 docs on Iraqi security contractors:
The recovered text [from these documents] is a mess, because these documents are just about the worse possible case for OCR [optical character recognition]: many of these documents are forms with a complex layout, and the pages have been photocopied multiple times, redacted, scribbled on, stamped and smudged. But large blocks of text come through pretty well, and this command extracts what text there is into one file per page.
To read the rest of Stray's account, see his Overview Project.
And to see more with Chris Anderson, see our recent video interviews with him.

Article by Kelby Hartson Carr and Photos by Michael Carr
Nice has an endless supply of hotels but to truly be Niçois consider apartment vacation rentals. You will live in a residential neighborhood, have your own kitchen to prepare meals, and pay less for a bigger room. You won't get the hand-holding a hotel staff provides, but you can turn the Nice Tourist Office into your personal concierge. The office (www.nicetourism.com) publishes a brochure listing several vacation rentals in the city.
To eat like a local, take side streets to find neighborhood cafés and bistros. Better yet, visit the Nice Flower and Produce Market at the Cours Saleya to find the freshest and highest quality ingredients for preparing your own meals. Many locals visit bakeries for tasty €3 sandwiches. After lunch, spend a couple of leisurely, unrushed hours at a centrally-located café, sipping coffee and watching the world go by. For a big meal out, be sure to look on the chalkboards outside restaurants for that day's formule or prix fixe menu. Have this big meal at lunchtime and you will pay less for essentially the same food served at dinner.
Open-air tourist buses that circulate Nice cost a whopping €19 per adult. Taxis are notoriously overpriced. An affordable alternative is Nice's local bus system. A ticket for a single ride costs a measly €3, and there are several multi-ride options. Ask for the Sunbus map and the route guide at the tourist office, or visit the main Sunbus station at Place Massena. Buy your own ticket for nearby destinations like Cannes and Monte Carlo.
To find goodies to take home, visit a local grocer for inexpensive cooking items that are impossible to find back home. (Just keep in mind that it is illegal to bring back unsealed fresh food items such as produce or meats.) For good values in clothing and food visit the Gallaries Lafayette department store. Hit the Monday flea market at the Cours Saleya to find antiques or old posters. The summertime arts and crafts market there is open Tuesdays through Saturdays. Used and rare books, art, and old postcards are sold at monthly markets in front of the Palais de Justice.
Old Nice is the most popular night spot. The port area has a few hip bars that few tourists happen upon. Even near the tourist-haven pedestrian zone are some great spots. Amazone on the rue Massena features great food and gets quite busy after dark. Just a short walk outside the zone, Karr Bar on rue Alphonse Karr features live jazz. Opt for carafes of wine.

NoSQL Performance Benchmark: Cassandra, MongoDB, and Couchbase
Company: Couchbase
Choosing the right NoSQL database can be tricky. NoSQL technologies all claim to provide high throughput, low latency, and horizontal scaling, but how do they compare relative to each other? Altoros Systems recently shed some light on this question by releasing a benchmark report comparing Couchbase Server, MongoDB, and Cassandra by simulating workloads of interactive web applications.
The following report provides:
- An overview of three popular NoSQL solutions: Cassandra, MongoDB and Couchbase
- The key criteria to consider when choosing a database for your interactive application
- A benchmark that compares Couchbase to both Cassandra and MongoDB in terms of read and write performances

I was just wondering if authors are allowed to ask for a certain price for their items. I know the reviewers set the price on items to their discretion, but what if I want to make a sort of bundle which comes with multiple items that I've made in the past? I've recently seen that someone did this and it costs $35, the author made a comment saying that they didn't know it would cost that much. So would I be able to ask to have a big bundle like that cost more or less? Or is that purely to the reviewers discretion?
Also, I thought I'd mention that I have a series of items that I'm doing and the first and second one cost $5 while the third one costs only $4. There isn't a difference in the amount of items you get in that third pack than from the first and second, so I'm a little confused as to why they are priced differently.

You are always allowed to contact the support about the price being too low. You just have to make your points and prove why your item is underpriced or priced badly. I did that two times already with price being raised at the end. Now few days ago I did it again, waiting for answer.
You cannot ask for certain price when you upload the item but you can send your need for support, and have an argument for pricing it differently.
It's bussines. That is normal. We create product envato sells it, if we think we don't get the correct price then we talk about that with seller (envato) . simple
If you see a very low price, and you have your arguments, you can contact the reviewer I think!

+1. I've done this on both of my items. I supplied very valid points as to why the price should be higher, whether it be I added new features or it was selling somewhere else for a lot more than mine was priced at. One of my items price was doubled. Reviewers are understanding as long as you provide info to help with the decision.

If you are not happy with the price and you have valid points, contact support and they will change the price for you. I did it twice and they changed the price every time, tho it took like 5 days

am looking to drastically improve my surfing over the next 6 months have got next to nowhere in the last year or so what with one thing and another and horse owning/lack of money grrrrrrh
anyways..back to the original topic tell me about hybrid fish?? Are they literally shortboards with a fish/swallowtail?? do they have two fins or thruster setup?? and why?
I'm hoping once i can popup consistently on my minimal and nail the turning bit (which apparently isnt so hard once you pop up), then i could get a custom hybrid made *cough*kitey*cough* and start to work my way down
I can already catch green waves and stuff, and know *when* to popup, but apparently Ive had my hands in the wrong place the whole time which is why I have been getting nowhere fast
So people... educate me!

Jaromir Jagr took to social media on Tuesday and indicated that next season may be his last in the NHL.
Speaking to fans on his official Facebook page, the 41-year-old said that he will likely hang up the skates at the conclusion of the upcoming season.
"It looks like it will be my last season, so I can't be too risky," Jagr wrote.
Jagr signed a one-year, $2 million contract with New Jersey on July 23, making the Devils his seventh NHL team.
Jagr has 681 goals and 1,007 assists for 1,688 points and 959 penalty minutes in 1,391 career regular-season appearances for Pittsburgh, Washington, NY Rangers, Philadelphia, Dallas and Boston. A two-time Stanley Cup Champion with the Penguins in 1990-91 and 1991-92, he also has 78 goals and 121 assists for 199 points and 159 penalty minutes in 202 career playoff contests.
Entering his 20th season in the NHL, Jagr ranks 34th all-time in games played, tenth in goals, 12th in assists and eighth in points.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Nice park but the sites are a bit close together. Was a family reunion of several campers in the row behind us with no respect for quiet time. Other than that, a nice place

Very nice, quiet park. Owner very customer service oriented. We looked forward to a quiet weekend getaway and that is exactly what we received. We had a very shaded site, which was great for the hot days. It did prevent us from receiving a satellite signal, so the only draw back for this campground is the lack of Cable TV.

Cellulose Nanofibre Mesh for Use in Dental Materials

Abstract: The aim of this study was to produce a 3D mesh of defect free electrospun cellulose acetate nanofibres and to use this to produce a prototype composite resin containing nanofibre fillers. This might find use as an aesthetic orthodontic bracket material or composite veneer for restorative dentistry. In this laboratory based study cellulose acetate was dissolved in an acetone and dimethylacetamide solvent solution and electrospun. The spinning parameters were optimised and lithium chloride added to the solution to produce a self supporting nanofibre mesh. This mesh was then silane coated and infiltrated with either epoxy resin or an unfilled Bis-GMA resin. The flexural strength of the produced samples was measured and compared to that of unfilled resin samples. Using this method cellulose acetate nanofibres were successfully electrospun in the 286 nm range. However, resin infiltration of this mesh resulted in samples with a flexural strength less than that of the unfilled control samples. Air inclusion during preparation and incomplete wetting of the nanofibre mesh was thought to cause this reduction in flexural strength. Further work is required to reduce the air inclusions before the true effect of resin reinforcement with a 3D mesh of cellulose acetate nanofibres can be determined.

In their first series against San Diego, the Rockies outscored the Padres 20-6 in their home opening sweep. Since that series, the Padres offense has been able to ramp it up a bit although they ultimately lost the series against Los Angeles. The Rockies offense, meanwhile, has been stifled so far in California (more on this here) and in the last 3 games against their respective opponents, Colorado has been outscored by San Diego 14-8.
Will this trend continue? Or will the Rockies again be able to make a mockery of San Diego's pitching and defense? The Rockies will get their first opportunity tonight as Jon Garland takes the mound against Tyler Ross.

Okay! The countdown is on!!!!!
5 days until I depart for my new home!
I've gotten a lot of question the last few weeks about why I chose Saudi Arabia and what makes me brave enough to move away from everything I know?
I wouldn't exactly say that I chose Saudi Arabia but it just fell into my lap at the most opportune moment possible.
My bravery stems from having ...
A Letter from Home

I grew up an Army Brat (Hence all the travel) in Fayetteville, NC. I'm not special, irregular, fantastic or unique. I'm a headstrong, strong-willed, hard-headed 23 year old who saw an opportunity and took it. ...
We found a piece of paradise in North Carolina
Well, it feels like about 33 degrees today but with the humidity it is 43! Luckily we found this great RV park and it has a pool and a great gazebo for us and the people are so friendly!
We decided to stay 2 nights and relax and enjoy the pool and the CLEAN, SPOTLESS showers and bathrooms. There is even a dog park!
We are heading for Charleston South Carolina. We will likely take 2 days to get there as it is really hot here and being ...
Hide and Seek
... cashier who helped me out a great deal. ( I hope you have a great time at your sons wedding in the Cayman Islands, Bill!) After all this hoopla we paid officer Dean and went to tour the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. It was a beautiful campus and the area is good if you are searching for quaint college town and not so much hustle or bustle, or no hustle or bustle at all. haha Overall a lovely day in a lovely place.
Until the next time,

Day 6 Northbound
We awoke sore this morning from another night on a hard bed. We are up early to catch the sunrise and have a early morning walk on the beach. Breakfast was served on our balcony another day of cereal but the views are much better than home. We plan to hang out at the hotel until we have to leave at 11. We drove down the Ocean Blvd in North Myrtle Beach and did some exploring then headed to Cracker Barrel for some lunch before heading north to Raleigh NC. The drive ...

It was a cool episode. Glad to see Pineco for the first time and Brock catching it. It is funny when he explodes without notice
It was a cool episode. Glad to see Pineco for the first time and Brock catching it. It is funny when he explodes without notice
Pokemon HeartGold team:
Great episode! Brock got his awesome and funny exploding Pineco! Kurt's granddaughter was really annoying and strict! Her voice is annoying as well! Ash wanting all Apricorn balls was funny! The Diglett were cool as well. 10/10.
It's Lugia.
lol The Love Ball seems to be a bit odd, being easier to capture Pokémon of the opposite gender. Do you seduce them or something? 0.0 Yay for Brock getting a Pineco. I quite liked Team Rocket's latest machine!
I love this episode, seeing all the different types of poke balls was interesting. Misty got the lure ball! her love for water types is so cute. I also love the little Ash & Misty moment laugh in the end. Lastly, Kurt's granddaughter is one of the best little girl filler characters.

Good episode that also in nicely manner introduced another game mechanic: Different kind of Pokémon balls. Also props for Brock getting that Pineco. I love that Pokémon and its running gag by self-exploding the whole time haha.
Even though the GS Ball idea was scraped, I would have liked if we knew who would have created it though. Sucks doesn't it? It's good that they got some new Poke Balls.

A common question that I hear is, "Now that I have diabetes, do I need to eat special food that is going to be expensive?"
Let's set the record straight. With a diagnosis of diabetes, you can eat the same food as everyone else but you have to be aware of portion sizes and make healthy food choices. If everyone followed that guideline, we would not face the present obesity epidemic in the United States.
My definition of healthy food is consuming food as close to the way Mother Nature created it as possible.
The present economy has made everyone look for ways to decrease food costs whether you have diabetes or not. This month we are going to discuss a few suggestions for saving money while ensuring that you are providing your body with the nutritious food you need to maintain your health. Some of these ideas are from a book titled "Diabetes Meals on $7 a Day," but I have added some of my own ideas from personal experience. Two guidelines we are going to explore are planning meals and shopping wisely. Then you will learn about a free class that you will want to attend!
Meal planning is key
Meal planning starts with making a rough list of meal ideas for a week since a daily stop at the grocery store can become very expensive. Look at the grocery store ads and plan your meals around what is on special sale that week. Purchase sale items in bulk then use the same ingredient in different ways. For example, you can prepare baked chicken one day then include it in a casserole and make soup a few days later. We are approaching the season for the local farmers markets so plan to incorporate freshly picked produce for superb nutrition at a bargain!
Shopping wisely is the same as being a smart consumer. Since product placement is very competitive, compare the prices of generic items on lower shelves with the name brand items at eye level and you will save money.
Think about purchasing whole foods that were dug from the ground or picked from a tree. By selecting food that is less processed (apples instead of applesauce), you will be providing more nutrition for less cost. Let your body do the processing! For additional savings, use coupons or shopper discount cards.
You have to pay for convenience, so grate your own cheese and shred your lettuce. Start meal planning and wise shopping to save money.
The third idea is free! Starting May 3, on six consecutive Tuesdays from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. there will be a diabetes class at the Sequim Senior Activity Center. The class is sponsored by a grant from Washington State University and is taught by Shirley Broughton, a registered dietician. Topics of the classes will include the physiology of diabetes, information about five critical tests for diabetes care, proper food choices to manage diabetes, understanding food labels and how to manage eating away from home.
For planning purposes, you must preregister; contact Broughton at 360-385-0843 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Did I mention that the class is free?
