Darul Uloom Deoband, Islamic School in India
The Darul Uloom Deoband is an Islamic school, located in Uttar Pradesh.
The Darul Uloom Deoband is an Islamic school that aims to teach Deobandi Islamic movement. The school is located at Deoband, a town in
Uttar Pradesh
. Darul Uloom Deoband was founded in 1866 by several well-known ulema, headed by Al-Imam Muhammad Qasim Nanautawi. The other prominent founding scholars of Darul Uloom Deoband were Maulana Rashid Ahmed Gangohi and Haji Syed Abid Hussain. The institution is established not only in India, but also in other parts of the Indian Subcontinent.
The scholars at Darul Uloom Deoband were contravening the idea of establishment of a religious government and had opposed the demands of Muslim League led by Jinnah too. Mohtamim or principal of Darul Ulum Deoband, Maulana Husain Ahmad Madani led the Jamiat-i-Ulema-i-Hind, the most influential organization of the Ulema. He saw nothing Islamic in the idea of Pakistan. According to him, all should make an effort jointly for such a democratic government in which Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Parsis are included. Such a freedom is in harmony with Islam. The school, even though it advocates an orthodox story of Islam, has frequently moved itself away from religious militancy.
In 1857, the British East India Company put down independence movement by dissimilar north Indian forces, prepared in the name of the otherwise powerless Bahadur Shah Zafar. Emperor Zafar became the last Mughal Emperor, for he was deposed the following year and banished to Burma, with many of his sons, princes of the debauched dynasty, he was put to death. This marked a significant phase in the Indo-Islamic consciousness, particularly for the familiar Muslim wealthy class of north India, who thought 1857 as the end of their political ascendancy and the beginning of what could be a dark period of Muslim history in India.
In this situation, a group of learned theologians, lead by Maulana Muhammad Qasim Nanautawi, established the Darul Uloom Seminary in the town of Deoband, north of Delhi, in order to protect and train the youth with the necessary Islamic knowledge. The academic philosophy of Deoband was based on teachings that revealed Islamic sciences, known as manqulat. The education was bestowed the Indian Muslim population, following in the Hanafi tradition. In this university, Nanautavi instituted modern methods of learning, enormous classrooms, carefully selected curriculum, learned faculty for different subjects, exam periods, prizes, a publishing press and so on. He deliberately decided to keep it aloof from political or governmental participation. Instead, the faculty instructed its students mainly in Urdu, which was the lingua franca of the urbanized section of the region, and supplemented it with study of Arabic (the storehouse of Muslim theology) and Persian (the head of Indian Muslim culture); in due course, it also unintentionally sanctioned the growing association of the Urdu language with the (north) Indian Muslim community.
Over 15,000 graduates have passed out from Darul Uloom Deoband and have gone on to higher foundations to spread their knowledge. Darul Uloom Deoband`s curriculum is based on the 17th-century Indo-Islamic syllabus known as Dars-e-Nizami. The basic curriculum teaches Islamic jurispridence (Fiqh), Islamic law or shariah, traditional Islamic theology (known as tasawwuf, which is the practice of Sufism), as well as several other aspects of Islamic study. The current syllabus consists of four stages, where the first three stages can be completed in a total of eight years. The final stage is a post-graduate stage where students focus in a number of advanced topics, such as the sciences of Hadeeth, Fiqh and so on.
Most of the participants in the Indian independence included graduates of Darul-Uloom, Deoband. The Darul Uloom Deoband has countless alumni members and the Deoband School of Islamic Sciences has been producing great scholars across the globe years after years. It rose to become the most prestigious institution in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Some of the notable alumnus
Darul Uloom Deoband is as follows:
Shaykh ul Hind Maulana Mehmood Al-Hasan
Hakeem ul Ummah Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi
Qari Tahir Qasmi
Imam Al-Asar Allamah Anwar Shah Kashmiri
Qari Muhammad Tayyeb Qasmi
Maulana Khurshid Sahib
Mufti Muhammad Shafi (Mufti-e-Azam Pakistan)
Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhelvi
Maulana Mufti Zain ul Abideen (Faisalabad,Pakistan)
Allamah Syed Muhammad Yusuf Binori
Maulana Muhammad Idris Kandhlavi
Maulana Ubaidullah Sindhi
Shaykh Ul-Islam Allamah Shabbir Ahmad Usmani
Maulana Syed Manazir Ahsan Gilani
Maulana Badr Alam Merathi
Mufti Kifayatullah
Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi
Muhaddis-E-Asar Maulana Anzar Shah Kashmiri
Maulana Ahmad Ali Lahori
Mufti Muhammad Hasan Amritsari
Qazi Habib-ur-Rehman (Haripur)
Shaykh ul Islam Maulana Husain Ahmed Madani
Maulana Mufti Rasheed Ahmad (Karachi, Pakistan).
Maulana Salim Qasmi
The original institution of Darul Uloom Deoband went through turmoil on the day of its centenary celebrations in 1977 and two independent Darul Ulooms evolved ultimately; both follow the same school of theology, but had dissimilar patterns of management. The original grounds were taken over by the followers of Asad Madani, whose son still runs it today. A new institution was built by the actual founder`s great grandson, Muhammad Saalim Qasmi, on the fringes of Deoband town, with the same name, but with the word "Waqf" that means "social trust" in English added to it. Thus its management is accountable to an over view by the Muslim community, as per its proponents. Madani took over the institute and it has virtually become a private university, according to its critics.
In February 2008, an "Anti-terrorism Conference" held in by the university Darul Uloom in Deoband, discouraged all forms of terrorism and declared that Islam prohibits killing of innocent people and Islam severely slams all kinds of oppression, violence and terrorism. The conference also denounced all kinds of attempts to blame religious Muslims for terrorist incidents.

The ever-elusive alpine lake
Hiking the Lake Angeles trail from the Heart o' the Hills trailhead was, for me, kind of taking a step back in time. The last time I'd reached the lake's shores was more than a decade ago, as my uncle and his family took a group of youngsters up to the fully frozen-over alpine lake for some ice skating and a pick-up game of ice hockey.
Never mind that I'd never been ice-skating, didn't own a pair of skates and didn't fully appreciate hiking, especially through snow.
Turns out the borrowed pair of ice skates were too big and wrecked my ankles for a good week after. Furthermore, I wasn't particularly good at hockey either. But hiking three miles up into the woods to find a frozen lake and seeing the shroud of mist and cloud cover give the lake a blanket of mystery stuck in my mind. Years later, I wasn't thinking about sore ankles and long hikes, but rather I felt a strong desire to simply see the lake again. After more than 10 years, I figured it was about time.
That was my mind set when I took my family (three-quarters of it, anyway) and a family friend to Heart o' the Hills last September.
There are a couple of paths you can take to Lake Angeles, each with varying degrees of difficulty. Hikers can start a 12.5-mile loop from one of several spots: Heart o' the Hills, the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center or the Switchback trailhead. The eastern side of the loop skirts the lake while the western side leads hikers along the Heather Park Trail.
Other ways to do the trail are more adventurous: Find another hiker or hikers to start at the opposite end of one half of the loop, i.e. one set of hikers starts from atop Hurricane Ridge, the other set from Heart o' the Hills, then meet in the middle for lunch and to trade car/truck keys. Or, park one's car at either starting spot, hitch a ride to the other trailhead and do the hike (although I'm sure park officials aren't keen on this per policy).
Instead, our goal was simpler: hike the three-and-a-half miles from Heart o' the Hills to the lake, take a picture and hike back.
Almost there
Immediately this trail feels like an alpine hike. Perhaps it's the sight of looming mountain foothills, the fresh smell of cut trees or simply the chill in the air. Either way, the amalgamation of sensations was energizing - for me, anyway.
The lower part of the trail begins with a short, flat romp through thick woods, then crosses a creek and begins a semi-steep climb. I don't mind switchbacks on trails like these as long as it's pretty and not too strenuous. In contrast with Mount Muller, a trail that can get downright redundant, the lower Lake Angeles trail features enough scenery to take one's mind off the uphill pull.
Not long after the uphill start, the trail empties into a small clearing of downed trees I likened to a spilled box of pencils, only 2-ton pencils. Crossing a second bridge, the trail creeps through these overblown logs only thanks to some obvious trail "management;" 2-foot-thick slices of evergreens lay in a pile off to the trail side while our group hiked past thick, clean-cut logs the diameter of a modest dinner table. And oh, the minty smell - it was like Christmas tree shopping in September, only I wasn't going to be dragging one of these a quarter-mile and trying to wedge it in my trunk.
We stopped for a minute and counted rings on one of the fallen logs. All told, we tallied 302 rings. That made us pause and ponder eternity ... but only for a few seconds. There was a lake to find.
Along the way, we started counting these terribly abundant, underfoot beetles. I couldn't tell if they were a version of the European ground beetle (Carabus nemoralis) or simply some common black ground beetles (Pterostichus melanarius). They didn't have the coloring of the European variety but not quite the same shape as the common beetle. In any event, I made plenty of Ringo Starr jokes along the way that my wife didn't laugh at. By the end of our hike, we had counted 46 beetles and 32 puns.
How far is far?
Problem is, you never know how far away something is until you get there. Our hiking four-person crew was really two-and-two, and while the more adventurous pair (myself and my wife, Patsene) was fully expecting to find the lake no matter what, the other pair wasn't so committed.
After two-plus hours, we could hear the rush of some water but not anything that looked like a lake. At that point, for our trail buddies, the hike was over.
But it might be right around the bend, I protested. Sorry, they said. We're going back.
Normally I'd keep right on going but these were young hikers and neither my wife nor I could in good conscience keep going farther up the trail.
So we saved the lake for another day.
Try, try again
This August, Patsene and I decided to retry the hike, only this time from the top down and minus the unadventurous companions.
Instead of going all the way to the ridge's visitor center, we jumped onto the loop at the Switchback Trail. This trailhead is about a couple of miles short of the lodge on the right side of Hurricane Ridge Road, the trailhead parking lot capable of hosting a dozen vehicles or so.
The Switchback Trail didn't get its name by accident. For a half-mile, the crisscrossing path winds up and up the steep trail and, thanks to only a sparse, burn-marked scattering of evergreens lining the trail, gives great views of the winding Hurricane Ridge Road.
It's a great jump-start for hiking if one wants to sweat a bunch and get one's heart rate up. We had to stop a dozen times before the trail merged with the Klahhane Ridge Trail.
We also had to stop plenty for hikers to pass us up; we'd picked the free-entrance-into-national-parks weekend for this hike and plenty of folks were taking advantage. I stopped counting at 30 about an hour into the adventure.
For the next mile, the Klahhane Ridge Trail leads hikers onto another series of switchbacks, albeit a slightly less uphill set, like a Stairmaster going from "hard" to "moderate." Large-leaved lupine, bluebells, alpine asters highlight thick flora here as do (most eye-catching) a number of harsh paintbrush flowers that varied from peach to ruddy red.
On a picturesque, blue-sky day, the views from the Klahhane Ridge Trail are awe-inspiring. On this mid-August day, with clouds rolling over the ridge to and fro, it was downright spooky. We couldn't see much more than 30 yards ahead of us, and as the trail skirts rock ledges and a crag, not knowing how steep the drop is to one side or the other lends a bit of mystery to Klahhane.
This added some fun and suspense, I admit, but I was worried we'd not get the bird's eye view of Lake Angeles I was hoping for.
Planet Klahhane
Particularly with the misty feel, Klahhane Ridge felt a little like walking on the moon, or what I imagine that's like. A few sub-alpine firs dotted the landscape or desperately hugged a rock outcropping here and there, but mostly we walked amid piles of broken shale and dirt, wondering what was on the either side of the slopes.
After the Klahhane joins the Lake Angeles Trail/Heather Park Trail loop, it's another couple of steep miles down toward Lake Angeles. Knowing this, Patsene and I stopped and reassessed the hike. After about 150 minutes of hiking, we plopped ourselves on the side of the trail and snacked. We'd seen some small animal droppings but few creatures to speak of save a random bird or chipmunk. I'd heard plenty about mountain goats in the region but with so many people on the trail, we figured they'd be in seclusion. Our only furry friends during the hike wound up being a few grouse and an adult doe I nearly walked into on the Switchback Trail a half-mile from the trailhead during our descent.
After a half-hour break, the skies started to clear and the trail finally started to head downhill for a change. Soon the trail turns sharply north and, emphatically, there it was: Lake Angeles in all its splendor.
Splendor in the mist
Or, as much of its splendor as we got through a passing cloudy mist. Gorgeous. We could see the aqua blues and greens of the lake speckled with massive logs that looked like toothpicks from where we stood. An island dotted the water and it looked as if an eye were peeking back at us.
Exhausted after nearly three hours of uphill hiking, we looked at the steep downhill trail ahead. I figured we'd be on the trail another two hours minimum just to get to the lake and back, the second half of it a long, quad-burning trek back up this root-laden trail up Klahhane Ridge's slopes. I looked at the dwindling sun and prospects for rain.
In the end, we ditched the chance to see the lake up close. I figure we have time to see the lake in the not-too-distant future, when weather and energy and hiking partners permit.
Hopefully, it won't take another 10 years to start that journey.

text: Orange Bowl Official to Northern Illinois: You 'Don't Even Deserve to Be Here' Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 1 Jan 2013 post a comment An Orange Bowl representative told a Northern Illinois staffer last weekend that Orange Bowl officials believed the school did not deserve to be in a BCS bowl and never wanted them to play Florida State in Tuesday night's game. According to CBS Sports's Bruce Feldman, the two officials had a heated exchange in a hospitality suite. "You guys [NIU] don't even deserve to be here," the Orange Bowl rep said to the NIU staffer. "We didn't even want you here." Northern Illinois made the Orange Bowl even though they are a one-loss team from a non-automatically qualifying conference because they finished in the top-16 in the final BCS rankings and a champion (Louisville) from an automatically-qualifying conference (Big East) did not. Louisville finished 21st in the final BCS rankings. Many college football analysts believe Northern Illinois did not deserve to play in a BCS bowl game over more deserving teams like Oklahoma.

Lowering the grocery bill.
- Little Cupcake Apr 21, 2009 09:05 AM
In an effort to save money, I have been cooking at home more often. But I still end up spending a lot on food. I was complaining to a guy about it & he said,"If you know where to shop, food in NYC is cheaper than in other parts of the country." I asked him where to go, he said I should talk to his wife about it b/c she's the expert, but he mentioned Chinatown & the Union Sq Market. I won't be meeting up with them any time soon, so I was wondering where you guys go for food bargains.
Are there certain supermarket chains that have better prices than others? Are there special places you go for bargains on produce, cheese (my fave thing in the world), chocolate, seafood, ethnic supplies etc?
You can't beat East Village Cheese Market on 9th street and 3rd Avenue. I stock up all the time there.
I love this topic. I guess it depends on what neighborhood you live/work in and how far you are willing to travel. I work downtown and live on the UES, so I try to get most of my produce in Chinatown or this tiny hole-in-the-wall place in my neighborhood. IMO, Union Square is definitely good, but it's not cheap. I've recently discovered Morton Williams and think their prices and selection are better than the typical Gristedes and Food Emporium (specifically the MW on 57th Street and also the one on 2nd and 48th or so), so I try to pick things up whenever I'm in those areas. Trader Joes gets a lot of attention on this board (positive and negative) - again, a place to keep in mind when you're in the area (assuming it's not over the weekend or anytime between 6pm and 9pm) when the only thing it's good for is making you want to kill someone.
re: RussianGirl
Hi Russian Girl,
I also live in the UES, what is this hole-in-the-wall you are talking about?
re: Little Cupcake
It's literally a hole in the wall on 2nd Ave between 62nd and 63rd, right next to Chicken Kitchen. The variety varies from day to day, so I usually just stop on my way home from work and get whatever looks decent. Let me know if you go :)
re: RussianGirl
Depends for the greenmarket - some things are crazy expensive (meat, cheese, bread, etc), but in-season produce tends to be pretty cheap. When everyone there has buckets and buckets of, say, apples in September, prices drop.
re: Emmmily
I agree, Emmmily. I think it also depends on which greenmarket you go to. Union Square is a "destination" market, and in my opinion, the prices reflect that. I go to the neighborhood greenmarkets on the UWS (my favorite is 97th Street) which, while smaller, most often have much better prices.
re: Hurner
I have to say that for produce, Manhattan Fruit Exchange cannot be beat. I have walked out of there with a full bag of fruit and veggies for only $10.
West Side Market on 110th and Broadway has some cheap produce. Quality is up and down, much like most other places.
Cheese, DiPalo for quality(usually)/price. I don't understand peoples' fascination with Murray's.
EV Cheese market buys inventory that is near/post expiration and you can tell.
Certain cheeses this is fine for, many, the quality is bad and it is obvious.
Prices are lower than most though, again, sometimes they are worth zero.
If you are sensitive to cheese quality, then what you buy makes a big difference. If, like most people, you buy a fresh cheese that has been sitting for days and don't care, then, you have more choice.
Oh, that Westside Market on 110th will have some cheese on sale, sometimes quite cheap but again, certain types are terrible(parm reg, my word, I am still angry about it), some decent enough(a few bries) to be worth the price and more.
Mostly, you are screwed for good produce, in general, and certainly without paying, what I consider, high prices in Manhattan.
re: dietndesire
ah! I bought grated parm from this westside the other day and it was entirely flavorless. I picked up some from Fairway today and it is so much better
Nobody's mentioned wine and hard liquor - I love Warehouse Liquors on Broadway and Astor Place. Great sales and very knowledgeable salespeople. I shop carefully at East Village Cheese (don't buy packaged food that doesn't have an expiration date on the package). Buy good produce but not too much at one time - fresh vegetables at any price are wasted when they rot in your fridge. I will pay extra at the green market, but I try to control the urge to stock up too much. TJ's is great for certain items: organic milk, some prepared foods, nuts, but beware the produce. At least they will cheerfully refund your money for anything you don't like, no questions asked.
hi upper east sider!
our neighborhood is tough. You can sometimes luck out with stuff on sale at the food emporium (check the circular when you arrive). There is a decent deli with a large produce section out front and more inside in the back (their parsley/herbs are fresh and much cheaper than grace's or citarella). Its on the corner of 71st and 2nd. Stay away from Elis--sort of the harrods food hall of the UES. I sometimes hit the fruit/veg vendors b/c you can get decent stuff there. Also, there is a tiny seasonal farmer's market saturdays in the school playground on I think 67th between 1st and york (you may see flea market tables out front--its just east of first. ) Nothing was there as of last weekend but in the late spring/summer through the fall, they have good produce, bread organic meat, plants, etc. The best stuff is usually gone by about 1pm though. My new strategy is to subway down to TJs first thing in the morning, stock up on meat and frozen seafood (great wild salmon ) along with pasta, dried fruit and nuts (I agree with the earlier poster--their produce stinks) along with cheese (they have surpisingly decent coffee) and take the bus home. Its worth doing every 6-8wks and has definitely lowered my grocery bills. And, along the lines with what bnemes said, see what you waste. I try and plan out a weeks menu in advance so that I don't end up pitching too much. It takes time and can be annoying, but you do save money.
re: preppie foodie
I second that deli on 71st and 2nd - significantly better than your average deli.
Meat: Western Beef, Dynasty, Pioneer, Fairway, Esposito's
Produce: Chinatown, Union Square, Manhattan Fruit Exchange
Seafood: Mott Street, Lobster Place, Sea Breeze
Cheese: East Village Cheese Shop, Zabar's
Bread: East Village Cheese Shop, Fairway
Chain Shopping: Pioneer, Met
I consult the circulars before I shop and manage to do a fair amount of cooking for under $40 per week.
re: JungMann
Add Stiles Market on 9th Ave around 41st or so for dirt cheap produce and 9th Street Bakery for bread.
Please help us keep this on topic by making suggestions of where to shop in Manhattan. General tips on how to lower your grocery bill belong on the Not About Food board.
Thank you.
I love this topic, because we are doing the same. I am trying my best at East Village Cheese Shop, I live nearby. It's taken me about a year (new to this neighborhood) to figure it out. Get past the cold service there, they are not especially nice, but there are bargains to be had. Boursin is usually $1.59, which is insanely cheap. Herring in wine sauce is $2.50 for 1/4 pound --- it's not Russ and Daughters quality, but it is more than OK. Same comments for olives, marinated artichokes. Buy what cheese they have on special and eat it right away, and you'll be a happy hound.
I don't buy all my fish at Whole Foods (vastly prefer Lobster Place, Citarella and the fish guy at Union Sq Market) but when they have stuff on special, sometimes we have done very well. For example, they have good trout filets, and lots of time they have different salmon on sale, you just need to keep an open mind. Never buy scallops there, they are usually the wet ones and gross. When we lived on the UWS and were very young and also on a tight budget, one of our favorite dinners was a simple salad (produce from Fairway), a loaf of good bread from Fairway or Zabar's, some prepared soup from Zabar's (like their mushroom barley), and some fruit from Fairway for dessert. I've tried to do the Chinatown thing but I don't know my way around and just found it overwhelming, but the prices at the markets are amazing.
re: susan robin
If you know where to go in Chinatown it need not be overwhelming, though it did take me a few years to build a tolerance for the bustle and push of it all. For seafood, your best bets are the fishmongers on the west side of Mott just south of Grand. For marinated meats and prepared foods, cross to the east side of the street and try Dynasty. For cheap produce, both Western and Asian, along with an array of Asian goods, exit Dynasty on Elizabeth Street, turn left on Hester and check out Hong Kong Supermarket.
Produce is cheap at... I can't remember exactly where, or what it's called, but somebody can chime in... it's between 8th and 9th (I think) down around W 50th, south side of the street, it's halfway between a tent and a building.
It's pretty much all produce, though they have some bagels and other odds and ends.
re: acidity
Stiles on 52nd St between 8th and 9th. They also have another branch on 9th ave close to 42nd st for very cheap produce.
In Chinatown, fruits carts abound on baxter street just south of canal. There's also a row of vegetable and seafood stores on Mott north of Canal. The vegetables in Chinatown, while cheap are of the Asian variety, so it might not be as useful if you're looking for salad ingredients for example.
re: KTinNYC
Point taken!
I shop occasionally at Deluxe Food Market (79 Elizabeth Street) in Chinatown/Little Italy. It's located north of Canal street and occupies an entire block between Mott and Elizabeth with entrances on both streets. This market is composed of many small food counters selling prepared foods as well as fresh vegetables and meat.
I have bought prepared foods at the deli station close to the Elizabeth street entrance before. In the end of the day (~ 7 or 7:30 PM), they sometimes offer discount prices on various meat items (BBQ pork, chicken ,etc.). At the dessert counters, you can find Chinese-style baked goods such as sponge cakes, pork buns and small pastries. The prices are typically pretty low compare with regular grocery stores in Manhattan, although these Chinese baked goods/buns/desserts will taste quite different from what's sold at your local bakery.
In the center of the market, they have a freezer stocked with frozen wontons and dumplings at pretty low prices. There is also a meat counter near the center of this market.
Here is a link I found about this market, you can check it out:
Wish you good luck in getting good deals on grocery!

I Think the rear of it looks a little like the vauxhall vectra does anyone agree? --Grandtheftautodude 15:15, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
I think the front of it on the LCS rendition looks like a 2000 Honda Accord. Most likely manufactured by Dinka if it shows up on the GTAIV era. --ChanJaoming 04:49, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
I have had the assumption that the kuruma is based on a MK2 Ford Mondeo everytime I look at it however I have also thought about the possibility of it being VAUXHALL VECTRA but I'm most sure that the Kuruma is probably a Ford Mondeo.Andrew nicholson 18:20, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
Both of you might be right... though I've never seen both those cars in America. I would have to agree to the rear portion of the Vauxhall Vectra and the Ford Mondeo might be slightly wider in terms of wheelbase. I'm biased on my opinion due to the fact I drive an Accord. http://www.vauxhallwebsite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/vauxhall_vectra.jpg - Tail lights / rear http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/vehicle-pictures/2000/honda/accord/00802041990002-480.jpg - Grill portion [LCS] http://www.wisebuyers.co.uk/cars/300/Ford/mondeo2000_1.jpg - Frame Also, it's been speculated around 2003 that it's lenient towards a Chrysler 300M.--ChanJaoming 09:09, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
ChanJaoming that wasn't the ford mondeo I was talking about it was the 2nd Generation(1993-2000) in 1997 model year form.Try looking at [1] 1.look at the car review box on the left 2.click on used 3.select Make:Ford Model:Mondeo (1993-2000) one and you'll see what I mean about thinking the kuruma is a ford mondeo.Andrew nicholson 17:52, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
There should be a Schyster Kuruma in GTA 5, as both sedan and convertible, based off Chrysler 200. Powered by a I4 engine. If rockstar did that, WIN. If not, wait till GTA 6. We'll see. By GTA 5 and find out. Jason Diaz 02:18, January 25, 2012 (UTC)
New replacements
In GTA IV, the Kuruma is replaced by these cars: Declasse Premier, Dinka Chavos, and the Bravado Feroci
And in GTA V, it is replaced by the Karin Asterope.

I love stories like illustrator Wayne Brezinka's. He grows up in Minnesota (of all places), his dad actually encourages him to draw (pretty cool dad), he takes art classes (probably paid by dad), and now he's an award-winning artist that has been commissioned by The New York Times, Neiman Marcus, The Johnny Cash family, The Washington Post and the Chicago Tribune. Now, he's coming to Louisville to talk about his commissioned poster that he did for Actor's Theatre for the 36th Annual Humana Festival of New American Plays.
Actor's officially unveiled the poster in November 2011. Brezinka said, "It's always a thrill for me to receive a new commission. As I began to read more about the specifics of this particular assignment and the words "anything goes," I was in heaven. Theatre, the Largest American playwright festival, illustration and anything goes? A dream job! I'm honored to be a part of this year's 36th Annual Humana Festival." Brezinka joins a prestigious list of artists that were chosen to illustrate the Humana Festival poster including Richard Wilkinson, [3] Michael Glenwood, [4] Brian Cronin, [5] Josh Cochran, [6]and many others.
Brezinka assembling the poster.
Brezinka, who now lives in Nashville, starts with a traditional sketch and then the assemblage begins with his varied collection of vintage newspapers, magazines and bits of everything else. Nothing is created on the computer. "The only thing I put together in Photoshop is a template," he says. Part of the charm of Brezinka's work is the hidden words that peek out between paint and glue. In the poster for Actor's you will find the words "newcomer", "Alice and Jer" a snippet of the book cover "Anything Can Happen" from the Alice and Jerry primary readers of the 1940's and of course "Broadway" which is literally as plain as the nose on the playwright's face. These are just some of the details that Brezinka uses to interpret the spirit of the Humana Festival.
The Louisville Graphic Design Association (LGDA) presents Wayne Brezinka at the Green Building on Thursday, Feb. 9th at 6 p.m. Cash bar and appetizers. Register for the event at http://lgda-waynebrezinka.eventbrite.com/ [7].
For more information on Wayne Brezinka go to brezinkadesign.com [8].
The Humana Festival of New American Plays [9] at Actor's Theatre runs February 26 – April 15, 2012.

More reviews by supergirlieque
I'm writing this review in 2 parts. First I will write about the CLEAR/NON-TINTED versions of this product. Then I will write about the TINTED versions that leave color on your lips. In short, the CLEAR versions are awesome. The TINTED versions are TERRIBLE.
The clear ones (lime green tube with purple writing and light blue tube with pink writing) are fantastic. They are super moisturizing, last forever, and leave just a hint of gentle shine. They are literally addicting, so soft and luxurious when you put them on, that I actually got my boyfriend addicted. He pulled the label off and keeps a secret tube in his gym bag because he's hooked too!
The tinted ones, however, were truly disappointing. They feel the same, buttery and luxurious, but the color looks horrendous. It's so so fake and gross looking, and it sits on top of your lips in a very clearly visible layer of unnatural lip color, which looks so unflattering. The colors are dull and lack depth, so you're left with what I call "dead lips" and that's not cute.
If you want color, get a stain and then apply one of the clear baby lips on top. The colored baby lips (and I've tried from all the lines currently available- the originals, the white medicated tubes, the black tubes, etc.) and the colored ones are ALWAYS a disappointment.

Love this stuff i have like three different ones now!
I am using the 'pink punch' baby lips and so far I've loved it, I've only been using it for a month or so but I love the fact it's tinted. I've always been to scared to use lipsticks but this tinted lip balm is perfect! It's not too bright and sits nicely on my lips. The smell is also amazing! I rate this 4/5 and would defiantly try the other baby lips.
I'm one of the few people who dislike the entire babylips line. Maybe I'm from a region that gets much colder winters, but I don't find these hydrating at all. They only feel maybe a little moisterizing for up to 20 minutes upon applying. If your lips are chapped, using this won't help at all. The staying power is terrible..
The only good thing I have to say about this is that it smells delicious, like popsicles. Some of the colors, such as peach kiss - are beautiful on the lips. The packing is also cute

Great Product! Leaves my lips feeling smooth and moisturized!
More reviews by kittyinglasses
I love these.
I've finished off one, and am on my second that I got in a pack of 2/$3 (which is a great deal if you like these!)
Will repurchase. They're fantastic for the winter and underneath some of my more drying lippies like WnW Megalast.
I recommend it all the time.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I always have one of these in my purse because I always carry this around. I love it. It really moisturizes my lips and I like how some of them even come in colors too so it's not just a plain old lip balm. Personally I've always loved these and I will never stop buying them.
I always keep a tube of this in my purse in Peach Kiss. I love the sheer, nude/peachy color. It's not the most moisturizing balm in the world, but my lips are in good shape and this product doesn't seem to have any drying effect so far. Have been using this pretty consistently for approximately six months, and I will continue to use.

Pan runs to the cell once the doctor is gone and starts pulling off bars. "Fox! Get up!"
He slowly gets up "huh?...PAN!!"
Pan puts a finger to his lips. "Shhh! You don't want that doctor coming back. Let's get you out of here."
Fox nods without saying a word.
*After a second* Fox: There is a control panel in the other room *he points to the right*
*Pan hears a creeking noise and notices Vegeta
<whispers>: Pan I followed your energy with IT. Xero's here as well, somewhere.... (thinks: what a rebel that guy is) ...lets get Fox free and figure out what this place is....
*suddenly, a noise from the hallway startles Vegeta....
Pan looks back at Vegeta. "So everyone is here?" Pan looks toward the hallway and sees a small rat lurking down the hallway. "It's just a rat, no need to be scared..."

*Vegeta pulls thumb from his mouth
Vegeta: Huh? Wha? Scared?! ...pfft! ME?! Scared?! *mumbles to himself "who's she calling scared, I aint scared, shoot"
"I never knew you sucked your thumb..." Pan says laughing.

"What?! It's a nervous reaction, I despise Doctor's offices and evil Scientists labs! .....lets just keep this between us, ok?"
"Ok. But for the record, Fox knows too." She motions to Fox.
"Hey on my planet it's cool to....oh who am I kidding, *embarrassed* Fox you breath a word of this and your dead!"
Pan laughs at Vegeta. "Ok, ok, lets get out of here before the doctor comes and scares Vegeta. Hahaha!"
*Vegeta thinks to himself "I'm never going to live this down....:sy:"
Pan starts to look around for an exit. "Maybe we can leave using the way I came in, unless the doctor blocked it off at the last minute..."
"When your a warrior of my magnitutde, you don't need doors!"
*Vegeta, anxious to look macho after what would become known as 'The incident' powers up ...
"Big Bang...Attack!!"
*Vegeta is shocked to see his attack diminish into nothing as it hits the wall
"Some form of barrier?!?!"
"Very impressive..." says Pan sarcastically. She finds the door and opens it revealing the outside. "Yeah...this was much easier. How did you not sense that barrier before. You're slipping Vegeta..." Pan adds as she walks outside quietly giggling.
Fox: Would you two shut up and get me out of here already...
Pan glares at Fox and motions toward the open door that she already went through. "Someone isn't paying attention..." -_-
F0x: -_____- thank you...lets get out of here. *he wraps his arm around her waist and grabs vegeta, IT oiut of the lab* Looks like were at the bridge that me and snake fought at
*Xero rushes through the open door a bumps into everybody*
Xero: Where were you guys?
Xero: Hmmm, well....
(we arent in the lab anymore)
Pan looks at Fox slightly worried. "Fox, what happened?"
Fox: That woman....she knew Snake. She made a robot with near exact abilities to him...she wanted to know why he betrayed me but...he didnt.
*Vegeta ITs to Xero
Vegeta: Hey, follow my energy sig

Have any of your kids been victims of theft?
One of my younger dd's friends was at a friend's house in a relatively decent area of Oakland (outside of SF) and was at his place for only about an hour.

Yup, my DD has had some problems. So far, DS has not had anything stolen,except for an old bike. He left his bike in front of a building on campus and forget about it. He remembered two weeks latter- it was gone,of course. The bike was well passed its prime so he wasn't that upset.
We have had bikes stolen from our garage, the cars rifled through. One summer night, a group of bored teenagers were running havoc through the neighborhood.The police caught them. Since then, I make sure the garage door is closed and the cars are locked.
My DD had her clothes stolen from the school locker room when she just started high school. My DD was upset; it was a favorite pants and top but she also felt sorry for the girl. They suspected who did it although the clothes were never recovered. The girl "disappeared " from the school soon after that. DD had her bus pass stolen.
Since then, she has learned how to protect herself on the city transport. She doesn't carry a backpack or anything someone can reach in and take something from her not knowing. I do not use credit or debit cards at the local gas stations. I have had friends who have has their bank accounts depleted/compromised.

Positive: 24 out of 65

Negative: 1 out of 65
Oct 18, 2011All 4 One's insane amount of variety will satisfy both fans of the series and gamers interested in a change of pace. The game's sense of humor alone is sufficient grounds for recommendation. Insomniac's latest cooperative treat is a breath of fresh air.
Dec 29, 2011The amount of satisfaction you can get from this new Ratchet & Clank mainly depends on your expectations. This is not a direct sequel of the Future-series, but if you are looking for a cool party game with your favorite characters, you can't go wrong with this game. [Nov 2011, p.90]
Oct 27, 2011With its weak plot, All 4 One is clearly a minor episode in the Ratchet & Clank franchise, but it can provide a great co-op experience with so many weapons and a its funny humour.
Oct 18, 2011All 4 one is a good co-op game with a few blemishes, but a disappointing Ratchet game for fans hoping for the full package. If you're looking for a co-op platform laugh that encourages competition, greed and a dash of cooperation, this is for you. But if you were hoping for a Ratchet adventure that would be fun on your own, you're better off with the previous games.
Nov 7, 2011Despite the unstable camera, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One is a hilarious action-adventure with a lot of variety between the platforming, environmental puzzles and hack-and-blast action, but unless you're a hardcore Ratchet & Clank fan, you won't get the full experience playing it by yourself.
Nov 8, 2011Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One is a good game but not in the same league as it's predecessors. I believe it wasn't supposed to be like that but it seems that Insomniac put less effort into it. Perhaps making two big games at the same time is too much for this team?
Oct 19, 2011Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One should have been about $15, five hours shorter, and released on the PlayStation Network. It's a game that does a disservice to the high pedigree of the Ratchet & Clank series and takes too far a departure from what made such an excellent series. It's sad to see these fantastic characters appear in a poorly structured, mediocre game, full of camera issues and silly bugs that add insult to injury.

Oct 19, 2011I am having a TON of fun playing this with my friends! I'm not sure why this game is getting average reviews. It defintely is more kid friendly than previous titles but it is a nice change for the franchise plus it might open up the Ratchet and Clank universe to people that may never have played one of their other single player games before. The graphics are truly beautiful and the sound and music are pretty amazing as well. The levels so far have a lot of variety and make me look forward to see what comes next. Great game to play with family and friends. Recommended!!… Expand
Oct 21, 2011This game is made for multiplayer.
It is placed in the R&C-Universe and borrows some characteristics of the main-franchise, but the game was clearly built with multiplayer coop in mind.
And from this point of view, the game feels.
The "professional" reviews once again show the fact, that the "reviewers" themselves are just gamers like you and me. They like some games, and others not. But the bottom line is: They are not objective in any way.
Gaming is a very subjective experience, their cant and never will be truly objective aspects.
So where is the sense in giving games an A or an F or 0 Points or 100 Points?
70 Points in one eyes, can be 90 in ones others.
It sucks, it is pissing me off.
I will remember Eurogamer's Sentence: "At the most fundamental level there's nothing tragically wrong with the game, it just displays a lack of imagination that chafes against the legacy of a series that has never been short of ideas. For a game with that sort of pedigree, average simply isn't good enough. "

Dec 31, 2012Es el primer juego de Ratchet al que he jugado. Los gráficos son buenos, el sistema de mezclar plataformas con acción me ha gustado, en la acción es un juego bastante dinámico, pero lo estropea la cámara que el jugador no controla y que entorpece los movimientos constantemente y te hace fallar en los saltos, ya que te impide calcular bien las distancias de salto. La posibilidad de elegir personajes me ha gustado, pero no el tener que llevar a un compañero controlado por la máquina que hace el trabajo por ti y ha veces se bloquea y comete fallos. Un compañero controlado por la IA que nunca se protege y muere constantemente. El argumento es bastante simplón y se hace largo el juego.… Expand
May 15, 2013So heres the thing, I love Ratchet & Clank it is one of my favourite gaming franchises but All 4 One misses the mark. The developer tried to change up the gameplay with the 4 player co-op idea but I miss old Ratchet. Those games were alot more fun and had a better story than this one. Also the action on screen gets too chaotic with 4 players at once. The weapons too, while imaginative lack the charm that they had in the previous games. I wanted to Love this game but with these issues and the fact that A crack in Time before it was so much better are the biggest downfall. Please Insomniac go back to the way it was!!… Expand

Waiting for Rosey to get her hair dried before I can head off to gram's place. I'm hesitant to plow back into the GLU or GLUT stuff because I've burned so many hours spinning my wheels in there. GLE would be a nice "easy win" (I hope), and the Win32/WGL stuff should be straightforward. I could use an easy win on the project at the moment (maybe I'm just tired from far too little sleep and should nap instead).
At some point I'll have to find an OS-X hacker who wants to create the AGL platform module. Then, if Brian hasn't already solved the problems I need to build the extension-loading mechanism and then get something to auto-generate the extension wrappers.
Rosey seems to have stopped drying, so I guess I'll beetle off now. Happy Saturday, everyone.
