Hippie, How do you intend to test the torque on the bolt? That is, from what is being said here the extension would affect torque applied to the bolt(it will not) but not the reading from the wrench itself. What I asked earlier about using two torque wrenches connected with an extension would be the only way to do this without using calibration equipment. The only meaningful way to do this would be to measure the wrench reading against a known torque value and there is no reliable way to do this using a fastener. It seems fairly simple but I can't get this guy to answer my question, If you connect two torque wrenches together with an extension will one read less than the other? Which one? Why? If you have two people simply holding the wrenches unsupported and trying to apply torque you would induce variables since it would be nearly impossible for both to apply force at exactly the same angles which theoretically would not matter but mechanically induced error would probably occur. If you attempt to support the extension, say inside a pipe locked in a vise, then there still would likely be a problem with friction between the pipe and extension which could cause erroneous readings. Torquing a bolt with or without an extension and then trying again with or without the extension proves nothing either since almost every time you torque a fastener to it's proper value and then let it "rest" a while it will move slightly most times if re-torqued. All these variables are what causes this misunderstanding in the first place and all too often one of these flawed "tests" are used to come to the wrong conclusion. Simple laws of physics apply here and are quite clear(obviously to the manufacturers also since no "correction" data is included). This guy cannot be convinced no matter what you do because he already knows the truth and is simply obsessed with proving he is right no matter what it has done to his creditability so far.
Hippie, My apologies, I read your post quickly and did not realize the kind of equipment you have on hand.
Oldred, now you've thrown me off. I'm not sure what your talking about connecting two torque wrenches. I did find a site with this talked about. I'm talking about using an exstention on the drive not the handle. Just to make it plain I am talking about an extension not an adapter. Here's that site: http://www.specialpatrolgroup.co.uk/...ue/torque.html
I'm really not sure what that site is talking about at the bottom of the page.
Rat, Ok for the record I am talking about a common socket extension that extends 90 deg from the wrench handle. I did not realize what hippie had to do this test with at first so maybe he can do it but any error would have to be mechanically induced. I am talking about theory using two torque wrenches connected by an extension,(one could be thought of as the fastener) one at the connector end and the other at the socket end, now apply a given torque setting to either one and would one read less than the other? which one? why? I think the answer to this is quite obvious and for someone to argue that things like inertia from the mass of an extension affecting a properly used torque wrench is just plain ridiculous. I wonder if he even realizes that inertia would only be a factor during acceleration or deceleration and would have no effect on a steady pull or even if he really knows what inertia is.
Rat, I went back to the bottom that page and I think you might be talking about being sure the wrench is in line with the extension? If it were allowed to swing to an angle this would effectively shorten the extension(adapter) and give an erroneous reading.
One thing you have to remember is that torque wrenches are considered to be "in calibration" if they can repeat a torque setting within 10% on 3 seperate pulls. Usually they will repeat much closer than that but I honestly doubt there will be more than a 10% variation between the test with and without the extension. In other words I doubt you'll see enough difference to make any definite conclusion but if the variation falls within 10% I think we can say that effectively there is not enough difference to have a detrimental affect on the final torque at the fastener. We shall see.........
Hippie, The laws of physics(along with the wrench manufacturers) plainly state it can have no effect. This has been accepted since torque wrenches have been in existence and used accordingly on everything from lug nuts to the space shuttle. It is amazing how this old myth refuses to die but as I pointed out earlier it has caused many equipment and engine failures due to over-torqued fasteners and I am sure that it will continue to do this. If someone only adds a couple of pounds to a 75 ft/lb setting for instance then not much will happen but when they attempt to add 10% or so it can result in disaster.
As far as the physics of it is concerned I'm not arguing with anybody, I'm just going to do a test. If there IS any torque lost through an extension I seriously doubt it would be measurable but since I have the equipment available and I'm doing the checks anyway what the heck?! You guys have been arguing this for how long now? Wouldn't it be nice to have a test done on some accurate test equipment? My gut instinct tells me "physics" will be vindicated. I've been doing this for nearly 20 years, I'm getting fairly good at it so sit back relax and wait for the results.
Mythbusters...here we come!
For the record I said we had a 4% variance in our little shop tests, not 10%.
What YOU have been saying , Thats what we have been telling YOU all along. How many times have we told you that TILTING the extension will affect the applied torque by introducing a leverage factor into the equation. There are many ways to improperly use a torque wrench or any other tool and that holding illustration is just another example of a mechanically induced error. What they are saying is DON'T DO THAT that shows how NOT to use a torque wrench! What exactly do you think you have found here? This started when you tried to say that an extension would be in error because of twisting and you could not prove that so you have gone off in several other directions since claiming everything from inertia to a full moon would effect the reading.
How much time have you spent searching the net for info to back up your point and you say you are not obsessed? If you would have the common courtesy to answer just ONE question I would like for you to explain why it is so hard to find credible info to back up what you STARTED OUT saying but the opposite info is easy to find, why is that? If you can't answer that then how about which one of those torque wrenches connected together would read less, which one? Why?

LOL, don't forget he also said it makes a difference where you put your hands on the torque wrench.
Rat, He's come full circle now he is trying to say exactly what we have told him from the start. He comes up with something showing how using a wrench improperly will give an erroneous reading and then says "see here this proves what I have been saying"
It DOES matter where you put your hand on the Tq wrench.
I haven't changed what I've said since the beginning.
Obsessed? You've had 10 posts of the last 23 and I've had 3. I'm done.

About freaking time you showed up Vince.
He's been playing well all season, actually. Well, mostly at home compared to the road, but still. He's been very efficient compared to last year, and that's all we need out of him. No player on this team is going to get 15-20 shots every game. They have to rely on match-ups and how the flow of the game and the offense is going.
In this game, Dwight was getting smothered, so Jameer and Vince stepped up. The previous game Rashard stepped up. Dwight will certainly step up next time the other coach wants to single-cover him.

Suspicions Growing Over Death of Journalist Probing NSA and CIA Abuses
Posted By admin On July 9, 2013 @ 3:43 am In Commentary | Comments Disabled
Alex Newman
New American [1]
July 9, 2013
Weeks after the fiery death of investigative journalist Michael Hastings, who was probing abuses by the CIA and NSA and had recently informed others that he was being investigated by federal authorities, suspicions about his mysterious car crash are still swirling around the Internet. While police officially ruled the death an "accident," serious questions are still surfacing — even in the establishment media and among prominent officials. Based on e-mails Hastings sent out shortly before he died about working on a "big story" and needing to go "off the radar," it has become clear that he was worried, too.
Hastings, who wrote for Rolling Stone, BuzzFeed, Gawker, and other publications, was probably best known for his award-winning 2010 article "The Runaway General [2]." The piece helped bring down U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan. Despite his establishment credentials and what analysts called his "Democrat-friendly" reporting, Hastings had become extremely alarmed about the "surveillance state" and other troubling developments in recent months. His last published story: "Why Democrats Love To Spy On Americans [3]."
When the Obama administration was exposed spying on journalists earlier this year, the investigative reporter blasted what he referred to as the president's "war" on journalism. "The Obama administration has clearly declared war on the press. It has declared war on investigative journalists — our sources," he said during a recent TV interview [4], blasting the administration's lawless behavior, obsession with secrecy, and vicious persecution of whistleblowers. Beyond simple criticism, though, Hastings openly said it was time for journalists to fight back.
"I think the only recourse to this kind of behavior by the government is to say back to the government, 'we declare war on you,' and from this point forward, we should no longer — the media as a whole — cooperate in any manner with the government," he continued. "We should withdraw all our cooperation and we should publish everything we know, because it's a free press, it's not a free-except-for-when-the-government-tells-me-to-do-it press, and we've been way too easygoing with these guys."
Less than 24 hours before his death, Hastings made it crystal clear that he was concerned about his own well-being. In an e-mail [5]sent to numerous contacts and his employer, for example, Hastings noted: "The Feds are interviewing my 'close friends and associates.'" He also said that if authorities show up, it "may be wise to immediately request legal counsel before any conversations or interviews about our news-gathering practices or related journalism issues." The subject line read: "FBI investigation re: NSA." Perhaps most alarming of all, the e-mail concluded with this: "Also: I'm onto a big story, and need to go off the rada[r] for a bit."
While some friends and family members are reportedly too frightened to speak out, at least one recipient of the e-mail has gone public. Staff Sgt. Joseph Biggs, who became friends with Hastings while the journalist was embedded with his unit in Afghanistan in 2008, told [6] KTLA that the "very panicked" message "alarmed me very much." According to Biggs, "I just said it doesn't seem like him. I don't know, I just had this gut feeling and it just really bothered me."
Biggs has spoken to Fox News [7] and other major media outlets as well, saying Hastings was working on "the biggest story yet" about the CIA and that Hastings' wife vowed to "take down whoever did this." Apparently Hastings "drove like a grandma." In anextended interview [8] with radio host Alex Jones, Biggs also said he knew Hastings was receiving "death threats" from military brass. The retired staff sergeant added that he was extremely suspicious about his friend's death and vowed to do everything in his power to find out what happened.
Heavy-hitters from the government sector have expressed concerns, too. Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke, for example, told [9] The Huffington Post in late June that the deadly car crash was "consistent with a car cyber-attack." Intelligence agencies for major powers — including the U.S. government — almost certainly know how to remotely seize control of a car, he added.
"What has been revealed as a result of some research at universities is that it's relatively easy to hack your way into the control system of a car, and to do such things as cause acceleration when the driver doesn't want acceleration, to throw on the brakes when the driver doesn't want the brakes on, to launch an air bag," Clarke continued. "You can do some really highly destructive things now, through hacking a car, and it's not that hard…. So if there were a cyber-attack on the car — and I'm not saying there was — I think whoever did it would probably get away with it."
So far, the FBI has denied that it was investigating Hastings. However, on June 19, the day after the mysterious crash, WikiLeaks released what has been interpreted as a bomb-shell to some analysts monitoring the investigation. "Michael Hastings contacted WikiLeaks lawyer Jennifer Robinson just a few hours before he died, saying that the FBI was investigating him," the whistleblowing organization said [10] through its official Twitter account, sparking worldwide [11]press coverage. The allegation has not been independently confirmed.
According to the official investigation of the crash, Hastings ran a red light and was driving over 100 miles per hour in his brand-new Mercedes in the early morning when he suddenly crashed into a tree, causing his car to burst into a bizarre fiery inferno. The engine was found more than 150 feet from the wreck. Local news outlets in California, meanwhile, are reporting that the police report is still not publicly available and that officials have been ordered not to comment on the case. The crash itself has also been ringing alarm bells among experts and analysts.
On San Diego 6 News, national security reporter Kimberly Dvorak, for example, recently took to the air and talked about her conversations with sources [12] surrounding the crash after spending a day in Los Angeles investigating. Noting that the police report was not available, she said law enforcement and fire department officials refused to comment, with some saying they had been instructed not to say anything. "That kind of stands out; we look at the NSA, the government says if you have nothing to hide, don't worry," she said.
Military officials, meanwhile, told Dvorak that the fire was "extremely hot" and "not something we normally see," the reporter continued. The fact that the engine was between 150 and 250 feet behind the car was also strange, according to university physics professors she spoke with — it should have been in front, if anything. Another interesting fact highlighted in the report: There were no skid marks at the accident scene.
Mercedes, she added, insists that their cars do not blow up. In fact, the company has a reputation for building some of the safest cars in the world, but Mercedes has not yet been contacted by authorities, according to a statement. Citing a 2010 study from a California university, Dvorak also noted that it is possible to "hack into the car system and operate the accelerator, the brakes, windshield wipers, light, steering," and more using a simple iPad.
Car experts have also expressed skepticism about the official narrative. "I'm here to state that I've seen dozens of cars hit walls and stuff at high speeds and the number of them that I have observed to eject their powertrains and immediately catch massive fire is, um, ah, zero," noted [13] Jack Baruth, editor of The Truth About Cars. "Modern cars are very good at not catching fire in accidents. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which is an evolutionary design from a company known for sweating the safety details over and above the Euro NCAP requirements, should be leading the pack in the not-catching-on-fire category."
"Nor is the C-Class known for sudden veering out of control into trees and whatnot," continued Baruth, who has a professional racing license as well. "Mr. Hastings' aggressively Democrat-friendly storytelling has the Internet already considering the idea that his death was engineered somehow. I can't say it's totally unlikely. As noted above, the reported (and videotaped) behavior of the C250 was not in line with what we'd expect."
It would not be the first time that a prominent journalist taking on the establishment has died under suspicious circumstances. Conservative-leaning alternative-media giant Andrew Breitbart [14], for example, promised to reveal information that would destroy the Obama machine. Shortly before the highly anticipated release, the 43-year-old died of "heart failure." Two months later, the county coroner who conducted Breitbart's autopsy was poisoned [15]. Before that, investigative journalist Gary Webb [16], who exposed CIA cocaine trafficking, supposedly "committed suicide" with two bullets to the head after publicly expressing his concerns that he would be killed. The list could go on.
Of course, it is now common knowledge that the administration believes [17] it can extra-judicially murder anyone — including Americans — whom Obama claims is a threat to the "Homeland." No charges or trial are required, and indeed, the president has already openly murdered Americans [17] like Anwar al Awlaki and his young son without even charging them with a crime — let alone securing a conviction by a jury in a court of law. Whether Hastings was murdered remains uncertain, but there is little doubt that the circumstances of his death were extremely suspicious.

Orchid Trees
(Bauhinia sp.)
The Orchid Trees are a group of very colorful, flowering trees suitable for many landscaping purposes. Aside from the showy flowers ranging in color from white to purple which bloom at various times of the year the characteristically angel wing or heart shaped leaves as well as the elongated seed pods are clear identifying features. The loss of leaves, flowers and seed pods leads to a substantial amount of litter accumulating around these trees and care should be taken not to plant them too close to structures, sidewalks, roads or driveways. These trees grow well in South Florida readily adapting to sandy, well drained, alkaline soils as well as full sun and partial shade conditions.
The history of the Hong Kong Orchid Tree (Bauhinia blakeana) is particularily fascinating. In the late 1800's priests from a French mission located on Hong Kong Island found a previously unidentified Bauhinia growing in the wild. Cuttings taken from this tree were planted on the mission compound and propagated. Meanwhile botanists around the world failed to find anymore wild growing specimens of this tree. As a result the tree was named Hong Kong Orchid Tree and is featured on the seal of Hong Kong Province. All commercially available Hong Kong Orchid Trees trace their origin back to this original tree.

Their Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK surgery, for example, corrects vision problems with beams from the IntraLase iFS and VISX Star S4 lasers; the process reshapes corneal tissue more effectively than glasses whose lenses have been replaced with Jell-O molds.
The expert team at Key-Whitman Eye Center has been caring for clients' vision for more than 50 years. President and chief surgeon Jeffrey Whitman, MD draws on extensive experience to continue the center's healing tradition. Doubly board certified in ophthalmology and in LASIK surgery, Dr. Whitman's impressive resume also includes the American Medical Association's prestigious Physician's Recognition Award and tenure as president of the American College of Eye Surgeons. He shares his insight on sight in media outlets such as Fox 4, where he discussed the causes of and treatments for blurry vision.
At Key-Whitman Eye Center, Dr. Whitman and his physicians sharpen sight with all-laser LASIK procedures performed with Wavefront analyses. The clinical crew also specializes in accommodating multifocal-lens implants, which can allow patients to see things that are nearby, far away, and stuck in parallel dimensions. In addition, the center offers general eye-care services and showcases designer frames in its optical center.
As the physician behind Precision Eye Care, Dr. Anthony Peterson doesn't just dole out prescriptions. He aims to keep peepers healthy with comprehensive exams and treatments for eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Aestheticians and laser technicians come together for the common good of skin at Skin Studio & Laser Boutique, combining their expertise to rid the body of unwanted hair, visible veins, and hyper-pigmented or dulled complexions. After a consultation and a skin analysis, aestheticians customize facials to each client's needs, helping clear acne, treat rosacea, fight aging, and unfreeze funny faces. They also apply custom airbrush tans to camouflage cellulite and stretch marks and enhance eyes with lash tabbing—a process that adds length and volume to natural lashes and lasts about a week. When not targeting problem follicles or splotchy capillaries, laser technicians calibrate their equipment to hone in on sagging skin, using the painless, light-based technology to increase production of collagen and elastin and restore lost firmness.
The staff and doctors at Insight will provide our patients with the highest level of personalized care and utilize state-of-the-art technology in vision care services and products. We shall strive for excellence by continually educating ourselves so we may better serve our patients.

City schools have launched several health initiatives to combat childhood obesity over the past few years, but the most basic component - gym class - may have been overlooked. NY1's Lindsey Christ filed the following report.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg cut the sweets out of parent bake sales and the soda out of school vending machines. Chancellor Dennis Walcott put salad bars in every cafeteria and goes on runs with high school students.
"We have a major commitment to physical education," Walcott said.
But what about gym class?
"There are state requirements around physical education, and the Department of Education's responsibility is to make sure that its students are meeting those requirements," said Jennifer Swayne of New York Lawyers for Public Interest. "As far as we know, it doesn't appear that they are."
State standards require daily gym class in kindergarten through third grade, while older students should have physical education at least three days a week. However, when City Comptroller John Liu audited gym class at 31 elementary schools, not a single one was in compliance. Some principals didn't even know what they had to provide, like certified gym teachers.
It's not just teachers. There's also the perennial city issue of space. Some schools don't even a gym, like one high school building on the edge of SoHo. Others have more students than the gym space can accommodate.
New York Lawyers for the Public Interest went to the state Supreme Court this week to try to get the city to disclose how many schools are actually in compliance.
NY1 has also been trying, unsuccessfully, to get hard data.
After the City Council requested school-by-school information on gym class last year, the DOE asked principals to report whether their schools were complying with state law. The DOE also said it would start to check whether schools actually scheduled the right amount of gym class. NY1 asked the DOE for data on both. We're still waiting.
The department is also required to file a citywide physical education plan with the state, which is supposed to be updated every seven years, but the state says it hadn't been revised since 1982. That is, until last fall, when the city submitted a new draft.
NY1 asked to see a copy of that, but state officials said they can't release something that's still just a draft.

The six Townhouses were built two at a time starting in 1990 and ending in 1994. These houses are home for up to 106 upper class men and women. There are two sides to each house, each side housing eight to 10 students.
The Townhouses provide a unique opportunity for students to enjoy the conveniences of living on campus, while at the same time beginning the transitional process between college life and living on their own. The Townhouse residents are given the opportunity to be on a seven meal plan that allows them to do more cooking for themselves, as well as the privilege of daily open dorm visitation hours.
Each of the Townhouses has an RA and a House Manager. These two students work together to promote the well-being of the residents, plan house activities, ensure a clean and safe living environment and foster an atmosphere that builds community in their homes.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
"My name may be on the deed, but it's still Eric Clapton's house," laughs Herbert Tobin, current owner of the spacious five-bedroom home. In local circles Tobin may be known alternately as a shrewd real estate developer, a generous philanthropist to the Jewish community, and not least, the former mayor of Golden Beach, a mile-long strip of expensive homes nestled between the towering condo canyons of Sunny Isles Beach and Hallandale.
Yet to the seekers who keep turning up at his front door since he bought the home in 1978, Tobin is simply The Guy Who Won't Let Them Talk To Eric Clapton. "They ring the bell and really expect him to be here," Tobin sighs good-naturedly. "We have people fly in from Japan! They stand there pleading with me -- 'We came all this way, please let us in!' Some of these guys show up in tears. I almost hate to tell them Clapton is long gone."
Indeed Clapton, whose bluesy guitar-hero moves have propelled him from rock and roll royalty to living-legend status, spent barely a month living at 461 Ocean Boulevard in the spring of 1974. But while Clapton himself has long since crossed over into milquetoast balladry and bloodless professionalism, the album he recorded during that month clearly retains an otherworldly hold on the musician's more obsessive fans.
Of course, it didn't hurt that Clapton was so enamored of his Miami sojourn he not only titled that album 461 Ocean Boulevard, he even decorated its fold-out jacket with bucolic, sun-dappled photos that captured him relaxing in the home's living room, and sitting in its backyard, gazing dreamily out at the Atlantic. Barefoot, bearded, bathed in soft white light, and with his shirt open to his navel revealing a large cross necklace hanging upon his chest, Clapton looked less like a rocker than a certain carpenter-cum-prophet.
So is that the magnetic draw all the way to Japan? Are these images -- wedded to the album's ten songs -- conjuring up an enticing vision of heaven on earth?
Tobin has some theories: "There's something about his words and music that is relevant to people who are lost -- especially in the Seventies. He was an artist who seemed real. It may also be the appeal of the drug culture. Not drugs per se, but escapism."
All of that can certainly be heard on 461 Ocean Boulevard, which (tell Tobin to unplug his doorbell) has just been reissued by Universal Records in an expanded CD package. What emerges foremost is a man literally putting his life back together: After recording 1970's Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, an anguished, unrequited valentine to ex-Beatle George Harrison's wife, Patti Boyd, Clapton retreated to his bedroom. He then spent the bulk of the next four years behind closed shades, doing little else besides shooting heroin, even being voted "Most Likely to Die" by the British press.
After a 1974 stint in rehab, Clapton's manager bundled him off to Miami. Criteria studio (now The Hit Factory Criteria) was a popular recording spot, and 461 Ocean Boulevard was often rented out by a Hollywood producer to moneyed artists looking for a secluded spot to lay their heads.
The combination obviously clicked for Clapton. After a few transatlantic phone calls, Patti Boyd left her husband in England and jetted off to Golden Beach. Then, surrounding himself with a band of mostly unknowns, "the routine was days of sunshine and evenings of recording," he gushed to Rolling Stone in 1974. Gone were the wailing pyrotechnics that had fans of his earlier work spray-painting Clapton Is God on London walls. Now came grooves built for comfort, not speed, with Clapton crooning laid-back odes to Patti, saluting the rolling tides of "Mainline Florida," singing "Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on," and introducing America to Bob Marley with a cover of his quasi-Biblical "I Shot the Sheriff" that became Clapton's first number-one hit here.
In fact the erstwhile rock god seemed to have found a new gospel. Recalling one of the last concerts he'd performed in 1970 before retreating into self-exile, Clapton spoke of having dropped acid onstage, watching his guitar solos physically spin out into the air. "Every bad lick I had, every naughty lick," he explained, "turned the audience into these devils in sort of red coats and things. And then I'd play a sweet one and they all turned into angels. I prefer playing to angels, personally. "
Angels, demons, pleas to the lord -- Clapton certainly sounded like he'd found The Answer so many of 461 Ocean Boulevard's visitors seem to be seeking. Unfortunately a quest for holiness invariably brings out the hustlers looking to make a buck.
Tobin began receiving phone calls in the early Eighties from young women hoping to shore up the details of their new jobs as caretakers of Clapton's home. The phone calls then became a slew of telegrams. The FBI investigated, eventually tracing it all to a scam artist working out of his Michigan prison cell, running bogus ads in newspapers across the country: If you had a security deposit, Eric Clapton's Miami hideaway needed a house-sitter.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Martin!
Facts about Martin
- Breed: Shar Pei/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Martin's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Cute and Cuddly Martin - 1 year old Lab /Shar Pei Mix
Black Lab/Shar Pei?/Heinz 57 Needs Some Big Love! Martin is an exceptional fellow! He was originally adopted from OPH as a pup last spring by a loving family with two small children. Unfortunately their youngest developed severe allergies and they made the difficult decision to return him to us. By no fault of his own, Martin has returned to OPH for another chance with a forever family. He is a shy guy, but so very loving, and will need a patient family that wants to work with this love bug. He is a very calm well behaved gentleman that enjoys the occasional game of tug-of-war. He is comfortable with his current foster family, but will take some time to settle into a new home. Martin is house trained, crate trained, excellent with kids, doesn't pay any mind to cats, and loves other dogs. He is almost one year old, neutered, and UTD on all shots. He is a Black Lab/maybe Shar Pei/Heinz 57(unknown) mix! He is ready for his forever home. Martin is fostered in Fredrick, MD.
Other Pets at Operation Paws for Homes - MD Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Martin, a Frederick Shar Pei/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shar Pei/Labrador Retriever for sale in Frederick, or seeking a Shar Pei/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Frederick.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Frederick already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Frederick breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shar Pei/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Shar Pei/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Frederick paves the way for another one to be saved.

Eco-Friendly Wood ShavingsAt Williams Peak Ranch, we've been implementing "eco-friendly" practices since long before the term became popular. We're conservationists dedicated to responsible land stewardship. When the pine beetle ravaged millions of acres in the Colorado Rockies, trees on our property were affected first. We started logging immediately so the regowth could begin eight years ago. We continue logging for years with our low inpact "tread lightly"equiptment, enhancing the regrowth. Then High country Shavings was born. Consuming dead trees that posed a fire and safety hazard and needed to be logged, we came up with the perfect "recycling" solution: wood shavings.
Our high-quality wood shavings are:•all-natural•fragrant with pine smell•available with citronella oil (which is a natural pest control oil)•soft (which makes them great for bedding)•no dust•recommended by veterinariansFor more information on our eco-friendly pine wood shavings, please call (970) 725-3242, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

You may be surprised to find this compact farm just off the busy main Vauxhall junction, but it has managed to pack in a range of animals, duck pond, ecology garden (complete with bog, wormery and stag beetle nursery) and community allotment, which grows plants used as dyes for the spinning classes that take place on the farm. There is also a riding school with a paddock across the road, which is probably the only place you can keep an eye on MI5 while out for a gallop. Plus the farm's dedication was recently rewarded with a prize for 'Commitment to the Community' and was winner of 'Business of the Year' at the Lambeth Business Awards 2011.

Congratulations on having chosen Translation Studies as your programme - we will do our best to make the next few years an exciting, challenging, invaluable and unforgettable experience.
Aston University was the first university in England which designed a dedicated Translation Studies programme. Since 1997, we have prepared graduates with an excellent basis for embarking on a career in translation and related professions, and some of them have gone on to study on a postgraduate programme to enhance their translation competence further. Aston is also a member of the National Network for Translation.
Our translation students benefit from opportunities for placements, prizes and certification from translation companies and organizations, e.g. the Translation People, SDL TRADOS.
In Year 1, you will study translation related modules alongside your language specific modules (Language Skills core modules, History and Society modules).
The Translation Studies core modules are:
LI1003 Introduction to Language and Communication
LI1004 Introduction to Translation
LI1005 Translation Workshop
There are two books which we will refer to frequently:
Munday, Jeremy. Introducing Translation Studies: Theories and Applications, (3rd edition), 2012, London & New York: Routledge (ISBN 978-0-415-58489-0)– This book will be used as background reading for Translation Studies core modules throughout your studies
You can either purchase this book ahead of time or buy it at the Aston bookshop when you arrive on campus. There are also copies of this book in the Library, but you may prefer to have your own copy. In addition, we expect students to purchase good dictionaries. You will receive suggestions from your language tutors.
Here are some weblinks to online resources which provide useful information about translation and interpreting:
The Chartered Institute of Linguists, a professional association which serves the interests of professional linguists throughout the world. Our translation graduates can now receive accreditation from this prestigious organization.
The Institute of Translation & Interpreting (ITI) is the only independent professional association of practising translators and interpreters in the United Kingdom. Our School of Languages and Social Sciences is a corporate member of ITI.
The National Network for Translation, with plenty of interactive translation exercises. We are a member of this national network.

The Top Six Mistakes in Usul (Part 2)
Made by Students, Regular Muslim Folks & Many in Between: Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI
Mistake #5: "Lack of knowledge is always a valid excuse."
Just as Allah the Exalted is generous, tolerant, and compassionate, we find His Law marked by the qualities of generosity, tolerance and compassion. An example of this can be seen in the exemption to legal accountability given in Shari`ah (Islamic law) for one who forgets, lacks competence, or, as is relevant to our discussion, one who is ignorant about a matter in certain instances.1
We find many examples of this in the time of the Prophet ﷺ. He ﷺ excused the 'man who prayed badly' for not knowing how to pray with proper composure, and Muawiyah ibn al-Hakam for speaking deliberately during prayer because he did not know that it was prohibited. He excused the people of Qubaa' for praying in the direction of Jerusalem because they were unaware of its abrogation, and excused a companion for not praying when no water was available because he was unaware of the legislation of tayammum.2 Another man came to the Prophet ﷺ with a gift of wine, to which the Prophet ﷺ responded, "Did you know that Allah has prohibited wine?" When the man said no, he ﷺ did not rebuke or punish him.3 This principle is also underscored by the verse in the Qur'an in which Allah says, "…And never would We punish until We sent a messenger." (17:15)
Some people take these texts to mean that there is a blanket exemption from accountability for anyone who happens to be unaware of Islamic rulings on a matter. In believing this, we may fall into the trap of being 'willfully ignorant,' and step back from learning more about Islamic issues in an attempt to escape from responsibility. We may feel that in learning more, we are somehow making ourselves more accountable, and that by knowing less, we can carry on just as we were before, unhindered by duties that we believe are hinged on knowledge. Consciously or unconsciously, from Shaytan or our own selves, we may seek to use this as a loophole in Shari`ah to excuse or justify our behavior. It is for this reason that it is important to clarify who is actually excused for not knowing their legal obligations, and for whom this excuse is not acceptable.
If someone is uninformed about a matter due to legitimate reasons, such as being new to Islam, or honestly being unable to access the information needed to understand it properly, then they are considered excused, and their mistake is overlooked. However, if someone has the opportunity to learn about a matter and chooses not to, then their 'willful ignorance' is not considered an acceptable excuse, and they are therefore accountable for their actions. This includes engaging in haram (forbidden) behavior out of ignorance, as well as performing acts of worship incorrectly or improperly. From the perspective of Shari`ah, if a person has the capacity and opportunity to learn the law, he or she is presumed to know their legal obligations, and is judged the same as the one who actually learned them.4
As is well established from the famous hadith,5 seeking knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim. This refers to knowledge about Allah Most High and the foundational principles of faith, rulings related to one's personal worship – such as ritual purification, prayer, and fasting – as well as those related to mundane matters, such as food, clothing, and one's behavior with others. When one chooses to engage in an action, it is also a requirement to learn the Islamic rulings related to it – for example, learning the rulings on marriage and family for one intending to marry; the rules for buying and selling, business contracts and so forth, for one seeking to start a business; and the rulings of zakah for one who earns or acquires money. Knowledge about these issues and others which are a regular part of a person's life are considered fard `ayn, or a personal and individual obligation – meaning every Muslim, male or female, layperson or scholar, must take it upon themselves to know them.
If one is able to learn about these matters and chooses not to, or if one has people of whom to ask, but prefers to keep one's own counsel, or if the doors to knowledge are opened, and yet one turns away – such a person is responsible for their deeds, and ignorance is in no way an acceptable excuse.
On a related point, if a person commits an action knowing it is haram but without knowing its legal consequences, the consequences of their action still come into effect.6 For example, if a married couple engages in intimacy in the daylight hours of Ramadan, knowing that it is haram but without knowing that it would break the fast, their fasts are still invalidated, and must be made up accordingly. Also, if one commits an action that violates the rights of other people, whether done knowingly or unknowingly, one is responsible for restoring their rights. So if a person steals from someone's property, they are responsible for returning that wealth, whether they were aware of the prohibition of stealing at the time of the theft or not. These points further emphasize the idea that a claim of ignorance does not automatically absolve one from one's actions, and has specified rules and conditions.
An Arabic expression states, "An ignorant person does to himself and others what an enemy would do to his enemy."
May Allah protect us from the harms of our own ignorance, and take us from its darkness into the light of understanding and knowledge. May He make us people who worship Him with knowledge, in the best of ways, and may He grant us tafaqquh (deep understanding and comprehension) of His religion. Ameen.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah…JazakAllahhu Khayran sister Shazia. I fear my question might tread a fine line but for the sake of understanding only, could you please briefly touch upon this:
Could an athiest or non-Muslim, who has not heard of Islam OR Islam did not appeal to him when it was presented to him, be excused by Allah (SWT) for all his actions since he may not have had knowledge about what the Truth is?
Eagerly awaiting the remaining part of the series…
JazakAllahu Khayran..Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah..
wa alaykum as salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Br. Ali,
Jazak Allahu khayran for your excellent questions. The issue of the accountability of a person who has not had the opportunity to hear the message of Islam – such as someone who lives in a remote and isolated place, or who, for some reason, only has access to learning a distorted version of what the faith teaches – is a matter on which there is a well established difference of opinion among scholars historically. This is because some scholars contend that Allah 'does not punish until He sends a messenger' (as the verse in the Quran states), and likewise He would not hold to account people who have not had proper access to the message of Islam. On the other hand, other scholars hold that the human intellect/soul, while unable to know the details of religious practice independent of revelation, does have the capacity and innate fitrah to realize tawheed, the existence and oneness of God, and supports this position by the hadith which states that all souls testified to the reality of God in a state before their creation as human beings. So they would argue that it is something that is innate to the human being and therefore, something they will be held accountable for.
In the end, we have confidence that Allah Most High is Just and Fair to all of His creatures, that He will not mistreat them in any way, and will judge them in a way that reflects His justice, kindness, compassion. Allahu a'lam.
wasalaamu alaykum
Assalamu alaikum,
Dear brother Suhaib,
First of all let me congratulate you , your staff and the entire Muslim ummah for having this splendid work. "Mubarak" insha'Allah.
Me and khaled really really miss your knowledge and advice. Wish you all the best brother. Go ahead, May Allah grant you success.
Many congratulations for the new site and the awesome articles may Allah reward you abundantly for your efforts…
Salaam alaykum shaykha shazia,
Jzk for this enlightening series, I greatly appreciate it. I have a few questions, based on personal experience more than anything else, and hope you could clear up a few ideas I have in mind as it relates to this post.
Taking myself as an example, my identity throughout life has always been one of being a Muslim, and I had seen members of my family praying, but I was completely unaware that praying was an obligation. While it's true that I had the capability and resources to search out the answers, had I wanted to, I was not aware of its importance and priority until age 14, and that being more by chance than someone's conscious effort to teach me.
I was absolutely an unconscious incompetent – I didn't know what I didn't know. However, once I did find out, I immediately set out to learn with the resources I had. This poses two problems for me as I read this article:
1. At what point can we REALLY say someone doesn't know, or understand the duties of the religion, even for matters that everyone, in theory, should know?
2. Even if we properly understand the boundaries of this theoretical framework, what is the practical application of this knowledge? Meaning, if I see someone not practicing, or not practicing correctly, or not practicing correctly according to my understanding, how should I deal with this person in terms of advising them, and how should I deal with this person in terms of my internal perception with them, particularly if they reject my advice?
jzk again for your time and writing.
Sorry, 3rd question comes to mind:
3. At what point can i say, I've made my best effort to learn something, and I am now no longer accountable? For example, in fiqh there are many differences of opinion, in 'aqeedah there are many differences of opinion that are well beyond the scope and understanding of most people, so at what point does the individual say, I tried my best, I'm no longer accountable for my actions? Although this question can cover many issues, there are also issues where one school says something is haraam or deviant, while another school takes the opposite and says something is halaal or traditional or orthodox.
wa alaykum as salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Br. Siraj,
Jazak Allahu khayran for the thought provoking questions!
In response to your first question, I think making this type of assessment is challenging due to the number of factors that would have to be looked into, including the availability and accessibility of the knowledge to the person at that point in their life, and if they were quite young at the time whether they would actually fall under the category of a mukallaf or not (having reached physical/intellectual maturity at which point a person becomes responsible for religious obligations). It seems like you are asking for dawabit (precise formulas/determinants), whereas I think that would be something difficult to generally outline, since each person's circumstance is different and would have to be understood and studied carefully. For proper clarification about a specific case one would have to inquire about it to a knowledgeable, qualified person who can answer appropriately once they know all of the circumstances and details of the situation.
Speaking in more general terms, for ourselves, my advice would be to err on the side of caution, and if there was a time in our life when we were not practicing when we feel we should have and could have been, we should assume responsibility and seek to amend for that time, first by turning back to Allah and seeking His forgiveness, and then by making up things that may be required such as prayers and fasts (in the manner instructed by one's madhhab/trustworthy scholarly opinion, as there is some difference of opinion about the method in which this is to be done).
As for other people (as you asked about in your second q.) we should assume the opposite – that it is most likely a result of their personal circumstances that they may not have been properly informed about the wrong action they are committing, and may then be excused until they are informed, advised, etc. This should always be our attitude towards others – hussn al-dhann – having the best opinion of others, instead of assuming/suspecting negative. So our general attitude should be one of compassion towards others we are trying to educate and advise. Wisdom, deliberation and care were the hallmarks of the da'wah of Rasulullah (salAllahu alayhi wa salam), and should be in ours too. One should also be well aware of the general principles of correcting others, which includes approaching matters with an eye towards the probable consequences of the manner of approach; prioritizing things in terms of what is more serious or more harmful to the person's iman over other matters which may also be sinful but less serious; and the idea that we do not condemn others for following a different opinion on matters in which there are legitimate scholarly differences.
As to your third question, the average Muslim, who is not a student of the Islamic sciences, is not expected to study or analyze the details of the differences of opinion you have mentioned. They are required to know the matters mentioned in the article which are fard 'ayn – basically the information necessary to make sure one's prayer, fast, and other acts of 'ibadah are valid and acceptable, and other matters related to one's daily life and faith. It is permissible for the layperson to follow the fatwa of any qualified scholar – so if one is following that, then one need not worry about other opinions that exist that may differ with it or seem contradictory. This is an important topic that needs to be discussed in more detail, but I hope that you get the main idea.
I hope that this has answered your questions, at least on some level.
May Allah accept from you and all of us,
Allah knows best,
wasalaamu alaykum,
PS (Apologies for the typo in your name Br. Siraaj)

Spruce Up Your House for Spring . . .
Doesn't the home look bigger? I think the end result stunning. This project probably wasn't terribly expensive but it added great value to this delightful cottage. Love the hydrangeas too.
We are supposed to have record high temperatures today and tomorrow. I have been busy trying to beat the heat so I can sit outside and simply enjoy it. My goldfinches are back and those yellow wild canaries are making me happy. The chirping outside is unbelieveable and it's so nice to have all the windows open.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend. ♥Rosemary

GREY GARDENS before and after with slide show + video + footage from the original documentary film
Thirty-four years after a documentary film introduced the world to Grey Gardens and its eccentric occupants, a new movie on HBO is again casting light on the legend of this East Hampton property. In 1979, when the last photo was taken, Sally Quinn, the writer and Washington hostess, and her husband Benjamin Bradlee, former editor of The Washington Post, purchased the property, which had fallen into complete disarray, and set out to restore it to its earlier splendor.
View the slide show with 12 photos via The New York Times.
Albert Maysles visited Grey Gardens to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his film several years ago after the house and gardens were restored. This 10-minute film from YouTube shows Maysles' reaction with footage from the original documentary. This will give you a glimpse into the "real Grey Gardens" and the two Edies. Don't say I didn't warn you about how shocking it was while the two eccentrics were in residence.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today for a visit. I hope you found this post to be informative and entertaining. I don't have HBO, do you? Should I get it? Are you enjoying Grey Gardens? Let me know. ♥Rosemary

Insomnia (If You Are Sleepless) . . .
This seemed like a pleasant thing to post at the end of this lovely day. Hopefully you will sleep like a log and not need these instructions. Pleasant dreams when you tuck in.
Hallmark Hall of Fame ~ "must-see" TV tonight . . .
More still photos and full article about the program.
I am looking forward to seeing Anna Paquin on Hallmark Hall of Fame tonight at 9pm on CBS. "The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler" is based upon the true story a Polish Catholic social worker in the early 1940s who is credited with saving the lives of 2,500 Jewish children during World War II.
Check the local listings for your area. This is on the CBS network, not the Hallmark Channel.
You've got to AC-CENT-CHU-ATE THE POSITIVE (Bing Crosby) + Video . . .
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
Song lyrics here.
This YouTube video is from The Singing Detective with Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters singing in the background. I am going to see if this old BBC series is available at my local library. It looks great. There was a 2003 (American) movie too but the English TV series looks way better.
I hope this brightens your Sunday morning and inspires you to accentuate the positive all day long!

Mom, toddler no longer missing in Sacramento
Updated On: Sep 06 2013 03:56:19 PM PDT
A mother and her 18-month-old child -- previously reported as missing -- have been found.
The Sacramento Police Department earlier Friday announced it was seeking the community's help in finding Fariha Kanwal, 23, and her son, Zakir Zamurad, last seen Thursday.
Officers announced on Twitter only that the pair had been found. No further details have been released.
The two vanished from the area of South Side Park, on the 400 block of V Street, near downtown Sacramento.
