Okay I'm going to start gently on this and will plan to get 1 yoga session in every 2 weeks. This sounds like it's very infrequently, but it's what I can do.
I also need to get some other things sorted out- like getting new specs and going to the chiropracter. So one thing at a time

Okay I'm going to start gently on this and will plan to get 1 yoga session in every 2 weeks. This sounds like it's very infrequently, but it's what I can do.
Since I moved to London I've really battled to find a yoga class that I like. They're generally taken by an over-zealous instructor who is really in to the complicated moves and they really tend to SHOUT instructions out. What's that about? It's a bit like yoga boot camp, which I find really uncomfortable after going to a class run by some veyy gentle, kind and warm people who used charm to get us trying new things. And being older they've been focussed on getting the simple things better rather than tying our bodies in knots. So I'm really glad that I've found a class. It's in Amsterdam. I know it sounds like a long trip. but I'm moving there at the end of this month. The instructor is lovely. Older, kind, gentle and all about find ing breath in the poses.Yeah!
I did it. Yoga on my own. It was great. I've brought my mat with me on a road trip and promise to do yoga every second day. Even in the game park!
I'm just back from a weekend yoga retreat. What a treat. I've tried different types of yoga now and know what I like and definitely don't. I ejoy being in this place.
Signed up for a weekend of yoga. I hope that I enjoy this and don't push too hard. I want to remember that this isn't a competition. I'm going to focus on jus enjoing the weekend.
I went to my first Vinyasa yoga class completely by accident. I've been avoiding it for the last few weeks despite curiousity. And I didn't really enjoy it.
I just felt that I'm not strong enough and there wasn't a real focus on the perfection of the technique. I think that my anal retentativeness is also showing! I don't feel the need to be spectacular or even graceful. But to just get the pose feeling right and then breathe as I rest in to it. Not as fancy as the Vinyasa, but I'm okay with that. So hatha it is for the next while.
I love yoga and don't battle with most of the poses. I've in fact seen tremendous progress over the 6 weeks.
Yet there's just this one pose I find really difficult. I just can't seem to balance when I'm in it. I think that part of it is my mind going "oh dear. Here it comes" when it comes up.
I'm going to commit to being patient and really focus on the basics for this one.
I played squash on Wednesday and have been battling with squash bumb. It really made my yoga class tough. I could just feel those muscles ache as I put weight on to them and couldn't make the extra bits on my strstches.
Yet I still feel proud of myself. I kept focussed and didn't let my ego win.
Did my first "fancy" poses today: a back bend and also some head stand pose where you curl your legs over your head so that they touch the floor and then up in the air. I did it! Hurt my back a bit doing the back bend, but didn't let my ego take over and justcame out of the pose.
What a feel good place. Yoga is awesome.
Yoga today was really difficult. We used a wall for stability so that we could get a good sense of what the poses are supposed to feel like. It needed real mindfulness, no straying and loads of breath.
A great session!

If all goes according to plan after the May 7 launch of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket – the company's Dragon spacecraft will be on its way to the International Space Station (ISS). It will then rendezvous with the space station and test out several vital systems. If everything goes well – the crew currently on the ISS will grapple the privately-owned spacecraft and berth it to the Earth-facing node of the station's Harmony Module.
The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has produced a brief video detailing what this should look like. The CSA's primary contribution to the ISS has been the Canadarm 2 and the Dextre robot. It will be Canadarm 2 that the crew will use to grapple Dragon and berth it to the ISS.

|Gluten Free Banana Muffins Recipe
|photo by recipe author
Servings: 10
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- 2 mashed very ripe bananas, or 3 completely black bananas*
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 3 eggs
- 2-4 tablespoons whole cane sugar, real maple syrup, or honey*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the first 5 ingredients until well blended. Stir in the remaining 4 ingredients until smooth. Prepare paper muffin liners, or use coconut oil to grease approximately 10 muffin holes. Divide batter evenly among the ten muffin liners. They should be about half full. You may fill 11 or 12 if the bananas are extra large.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 23-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
*Use less natural sweetener if you are using 3 black bananas. The sweetener can probably be omitted completely if you are trying to avoid all sweeteners.

I tried this recipe using my vitamix dry container container to make my coconut flour from raw unsweetened coconut.It seems to be quite a runny batter.Wonder if 1/2 cup coconut flour is enough?
# Posted By barbara | 2/16/13 5:09 PM
I took a chance and quadrupled the recipe.
I am glad I did. My kids like this too. I used maple syrup 8 TBSP and used dark overripe bananas. I used half nutmeg and half cinnamon.

Can you sub butter instead of coco oil? Would the butter or oil be melted before measuring
# Posted By chris | 8/13/13 1:41 PM
It was ok I was hoping more banana flavor. It was my first time using coconut flour so, I guess getting used to the different texture. However, it is a healthier treat.
# Posted By Swaney | 10/13/13 8:19 PM
These were excellent. I added 1/2 c. chopped walnuts. Moist and flavorful.
# Posted By Gen | 2/3/14 3:00 PM
The batter turned too thick. I had to add 1/2 light coconut milk. It turned out well
# Posted By Marina | 7/7/14 9:37 PM
Can this recipe be correct? My batter was SO oily. It never baked or even set. The bottoms burnt and everything was still mush. So badly that I even dumped out the batter that I just baked from the cupcake liners into a bowl and added about a cup of almond flour and other ingredients to make something else. Still with all the added ingredients, way too oily.
# Posted By Kerri | 7/16/14 8:21 PM
Did you use a full 1/3 cup of coconut oil? With both the coconut flour and bananas it should be oily and others have made and enjoyed this. If you're seeing oily issues while mixing the batter, add some liquid and/or more flour.

(More) Limited Editions: Koenigsegg reportedly cutting production of CCX, CCXR models
by Damon Lavrinc (RSS feed) on Mar 20th, 2009 at 8:58AM
According to a report by CarsUK.net, Koenigsegg will be limiting the already limited production versions of the CCXR and CCX Edition models due to the floundering economy. Although the report doesn't explicitly say that demand has plummeted, we can only imagine that the even wealthiest one-percenters are rethinking their high-dollar expenditures. The CCXR Edition will be limited to only four examples, while a scant two CCX Editions will be produced. While it might be the economy, with the unveiling of the Quant at the Geneva Motor Show, Christian Von Koenigsegg might be looking to shift... Read More

They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.

The city announced last week that 2011 saw a record low for traffic fatalities.
The figures were released Friday at a press conference featuring Mayor Bloomberg, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly and Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan.
A statement issued by the Mayor's Office said the 237 fatalities as of Dec. 27 represents the lowest total since records were first kept in 1910, and a 40 percent decline since 2001, when there were 393.
"This will be the city's safest traffic year in more than 100 years," Bloomberg said. He and Sadik-Khan credited enforcement and engineering strategies for the success.
Kelly said traffic enforcement effort is aimed directly at saving lives. He said officers issued more than 1 million summonses for moving violations in 2011, with about one-third of those related to seat belt enforcement and distracted driving.
He said through mid-December the department had made in excess of 8,500 arrests for driving under the influence in 2011, and seized 900 vehicles doing so.
The numbers included 134 pedestrian fatalities, said to be an all-time low and a 31 percent reduction from 2001; 47 senior pedestrian and three child pedestrian fatalities, both record lows.
The mayor said bicycle fatalities have remained in the same range for a decade, despite bike ridership quadrupling in that period. No specific number was given, but published sources state that the city has averaged about 20 bicycle fatalities a year for the last 10 years.
Michael Hinck, a spokesman for MediSys Health Network, said its trauma center at Jamaica Hospital saw the same number of pedestrian fatalities in 2011, while deaths as the result of motor vehicle accidents went up.
Representatives of Transportation Alternatives, a nonprofit group that advocates the expansion of pedestrians, bicycles and mass transit use in the city, could not be reached for comment.
The group on Oct. 30 delivered more than 2,600 letters to Kelly demanding more enforcement of traffic laws and announced an investigation of the NYPD. The group cited 1,745 pedestrians and bicyclists killed in New York City between 2001 and 2010 in what it terms "traffic violence."

Salisbury needs spot able to go to the dogs
SALISBURY — While the idea of a dog park in the town has garnered interest, finding a location for canines to gather holds some challenges.
Resident Wendy Hamilton, who wants to establish a dog park in town, was at Monday's meeting of the Board of Selectmen. She said while many residents she's spoken to are in favor of having a place for dogs to socialize with other dogs, she doesn't want to pursue the matter if there is no place to put it.

MACTAN, CEBU -- US-based Knowles Electronics, Inc. on Friday broke ground here for a P630-million manufacturing facility.
Mr. Giesecke said the 20,000-square-meter factory, located on a 5.7-hectare property within Cebu Light Industrial Park, will be operational by the third quarter of 2013 and may be expanded as the market grows.
"Knowles delivers products to consumer electronics companies. The market for these products is expanding very rapidly," he said in a press conference on Friday.
Mr. Giesecke said the company chose to locate in Cebu, among other cities in Southeast Asia, because of stable sociopolitical climate, well-educated English-proficient workers, business-friendly environment, and proximity to an international airport and sea ports.
Joseph Emmanuel Liwag, managing director of the local Knowles unit, said his office currently has 37 employees but plans to increase workforce to 110 by yearend, 1,500 by the end of 2013, and a little over 4,000 by the end of 2014.

From the files of how-to-make-a-million-bucks-in-two-days on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, we bring you the 3Doodler, advertised as the world's first 3D printing pen. The prototype featured on the Kickstarter website shows how the pen, about seven inches long, uses ABS plastic, commonly used with traditional 3D printers, to "draw" three-dimensional plastic objects or models.
How about a 3D version of the Eiffel Tower? Why yes, say Maxwell Bogue (a Purdue University computer science graduate) and Peter Dilworth (a former Massachusetts Institute of Technology Leg Laboratory staffer); the two founders of Boston-based Wobble Works, the self-described "emergent toy company," invented the pen. And here's the stencil kit to create that French landmark.
As of today, the project had 13,659 backers who have pledged $1,211,055 to help mass-produce the 3Doodler and bring it to market. We remain confident that the napkin sketch over cocktails will remain a time-honored tradition. But we figure there's some enterprising young architect out there who may just overlook the unfortunate infomercial-esque sales pitch ("Have you ever just wished you could lift your pen off the paper and see your drawing become a real three dimensional object? Well now you can!") and, just for kicks, give the 3Doodler a whirl.

Expanded Coverage: Competitive Concepts
Using remote sensor sockets, the Wireless Appliance Manager from Oregon Scientific allows users to monitor power consumption, carbon emissions, and real-time cost for up to four appliances.
Outside of the appliance industry, there are numerous companies vying for a piece of the smart home energy management market, and for good reason. Pike Research forecasts that home energy management users will reach 28 million worldwide by 2015, with more than 14 million in-home energy information display devices expected to ship in that time frame.
Oregon Scientific (Portland, Oregon, U.S.; www.oregonscientific.com) has taken a simple approach with its Wireless Appliance Manager, which plugs into any home electrical outlet to track electricity usage of up to four appliances. Using remote sensor sockets, a display allows users to monitor power consumption, carbon emissions, and real-time cost for running appliances. Users can even use the display to shut of appliances directly, and a built-in alarm can alert users when their preset consumption goals are exceeded. An advanced version of the manager can monitor up to eight appliances, and an Individual Appliance Manager can monitor a single appliance. All three products are under $100.
Home automation company Control4 has launched its Energy Management System (EMS), which is a bundled product offering that includes an in-home energy controller, a wireless, programmable thermostat, and network management and energy analytics software package. Web portal provider fifthplay (Berchem, Belgium; www.fifthplay.com) has a home energy monitor in development, and big names like Google and Microsoft have developed Web applications that communicate with utilities and help consumers better manage their energy usage.
Intel recently released details on a Home Dashboard concept based on its Atom processor. Intel's concept uses ZigBee-enabled smart adaptors that allow appliances, sensors, and smart meters to communicate wirelessly with the dashboard. Applications monitor the performance of each appliance over selected time intervals, alert users to anticipated problems, provide maintenance reminders, and make usage recommendations.
An 11.5-in. organic light emitting diode (OLED) capacitive touch screen built by industrial design firm IDEO provides fingertip control over favored applications. The dashboard's widget-based home screen can be custom configured with favorite applications, and a color-coded analog clock screen provides a reminder of time-of-day energy pricing schedules. A smart thermostat enables users to reduce energy expenditures by adapting settings based on the weather conditions, current energy prices, and the family's usage patterns. The system is extendable and can support value-added applications such as security systems and air-quality sensors, and users can remotely control all home devices from a mobile phone or PC.
Even innovation leader Apple (Cupertino, CA, U.S.; www.apple.com) has filed two patents indicating it too may have plans to launch into this market with some sort of intelligent-power monitoring device. According to the patents, the device is based on powerline networking technology, which differentiates it from the wireless pilots being conducted within the appliance industry. As pointed out by the Web site Patently Apple, the concept device also includes a unique video projection system the patent describes as "display circuitry that could include a movable display or a projections system for providing a display of content on a surface remote from the electronic device (e.g., a video projector)." This may be similar to a patent the Apple filed in June for a pico projection feature on its iPhones. It is questionable whether or not Apple will follow through with the patents, but some believe that consumer-friendly interfaces like the iPhone may help drive consumer acceptance of remote appliance management.

"Oh, that's my FAVORITE bread!"
"It never fails. It's the one I make for sandwiches every week."
"Walter Sands bread… always and forever."
That was the reaction around King Arthur yesterday when I happened to mention I was baking "Walter Sands Bread" to test one of our new loaf pans.
I was a bit surprised; I mean, basic white bread is pretty… well, basic. How many variations can you have of the signature sandwich loaf?
I've been making the same white bread and dinner rolls for years. Potlucks, community dinners, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter… my rolls are in demand.
So why should I try something different?
Because I was testing a new loaf pan. A 9" x 5" pan. And every white bread recipe I typically make uses an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" pan.
Then – light dawns on Marblehead! Over 50 King Arthur employee-owners made Walter Sands Bread last week, as part of a Martin Luther King Day/King Arthur community service project.
The recipe makes one loaf. One 9" x 5" loaf.
Luckily, you don't HAVE to have a stand mixer to make this dough – Patti Vaughan and Patty Hudson, from our finance team, were among the employee-owners who mixed and kneaded over 150 loaves by hand.
All donated to a community dinner, and a homeless shelter.
Here I am with Peter Bouchard, our national sales manager.
So – I retrieved my copy of the recipe, and baked a loaf in our new 9" x 5" pan. It came out absolutely perfect.
As soon as it was cool, I indulged myself with cinnamon toast, my absolute favorite comfort food in the world.
Who's Walter, by the way? Walter Sands was owner and president of King Arthur Flour from 1943 to 1968. He created this bread recipe, which he'd make each week with the help of an old hand-cranked bread bucket.
Walter's son, Frank Sands, became owner and president of King Arthur Flour in 1968. Frank and his wife, Brinna, grew King Arthur Flour to national prominence, then sold the company to us, the employees, in 1996.
Thanks, Walter. And Frank, and Brinna. For your bread, and your legacy of sharing.
Ready to make King Arthur's favorite white bread? Let's get started.
Mix the following in a bowl:
1 cup + 2 tablespoons, to 1 1/4 cups (9 to 10 ounces) lukewarm water*
1 heaping tablespoon honey
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons soft butter
4 cups (17 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/3 cup Baker's Special Dry Milk or 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk granules
*Use the lesser amount in summer or humid climates; the greater amount in winter or drier climates.
Note that I'm not suggesting you make this in your bread machine – either the dough, or the complete loaf. For best results, see our special bread machine version of this bread.
Mix with the flat beater paddle till the dough comes together. Don't worry about the stuff stuck to the sides of the bowl…
…because you can scrape the sides of the bowl clean with your NEW BOWL SCRAPER!
Yes indeedy, I'm excited about this. You can't imagine how long we've been looking for a bowl scraper with the EXACT right flex. We tested, and tested, and tested some more….
Some scrapers were too stiff, and wouldn't bend to the contours of your mixing bowl. Some were too soft, and couldn't handle the bits of dry dough that inevitably collect everywhere when you're making yeast bread.
But, like Goldilocks with Baby Bear's bed, we finally found one that was JUST RIGHT.
AND – it only costs $1.95.
Attention, those of you who tell me you've been hoarding your old King Arthur bowl scrapers – this is their updated equivalent. Hoard no more – we have plenty! Get one for your kitchen, one for Mom, one for your best friend, one to scrape the frost off your car windshield… you won't regret it.
I like to scrape down the sides of the bowl before switching from the flat beater to the dough hook; it just kind of gives the hook a head start. A few easy scrapes…
…and, Bob's your uncle! Clean bowl, ball o' dough. Ready to knead.
Or knead for about 7 minutes using a stand mixer set on medium speed: not ultra-slow, and not slow, but the next speed up. I know, KitchenAid tells you to only go up to speed 2 for kneading yeast dough; I don't agree. But if they say they'll invalidate your warranty if you don't comply, then knead on speed 2, but knead longer. Maybe 10 minutes or so?
Same amount of time you'll spend if you decide to knead by hand.
Your goal is a smooth dough. It won't be particularly soft nor stiff; it should be smooth and feel bouncy and elastic under your hands. Notice the dough above looks kind of gnarly.
But once I lift it out of the bowl and shape it into a ball – smooth as a baby's bottom!
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, or large (8-cup) measuring cup. Cover it, and let it rise for 60 to 90 minutes.
It'll become quite puffy, and should just about double in size.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased work surface. I like to keep my silicone rolling mat handy.
Gently deflate the dough, and shape it into a rough rectangle, about 8" long on the longer side.
Roll the rectangle, lengthwise…
…into a 9" log.
Place it in a lightly greased 9" x 5" loaf pan. Usually 9" x 5" pans are for quick breads, 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" pans are for yeast loaves. But this is a slightly bigger loaf, and requires the slightly larger pan.
Tent the pan with lightly greased plastic wrap; or use a clear shower cap, as I'm doing here.
Let the dough rise for 60 to 90 minutes, till it's very puffy.
The dough should crown about 1" to 1 1/2" over the rim of the pan.
Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake the bread for 20 minutes. Tent it lightly with aluminum foil, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, till it's golden brown.
An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center will read 195°F to 200°F.
Turn the loaf out onto a rack. Immediately rub the top with a stick of butter.
This will give the loaf a soft, buttery crust.
Wait till the bread is completely cool before slicing.
Speaking of slicing, how many recipes do you know where you can cut the loaf into whisper-thin (1/8") slices, without it crumbling? Not many, I'd wager.
You can slice this bread so thinly, you can hold it up to the window and light will shine through. Now THAT'S thin! Pepperidge Farm Very Thin, eat your heart out…
Me, I'm ready for a toaster, a pat of butter, and our special cinnamon-sugar – another of my favorite products. Made with superfine sugar and Vietnamese cinnamon. Guaranteed to melt on your toast without grittiness.
Read, rate, and review (please) our recipe for King Arthur's Classic White Bread.

Dawah an individual obligation? And Role of laymen?
As Salam Elekum wr wb,
I want to discuss a big problem going around internet. Many modern daees claims that giving Dawah is individual responsibility and most important responsibility of a Muslim. They quote a hadith that we should convey knowledge even if we know a verse. From this they claim that one doesn't have to be a scholar, student of knowledge or trained Daee but anyone can give dawah. From this many individual who have no knowledge of aqeedah, arabic, tajweed and many have not even read Quran becomes a daees.
They stop seeking necessary knowledge and go for useless stuff like scientific miracles.
They just have watched video of popular daees and they starts to give dawah based on that. What latter happened with most of them when they encounter doubt from non-muslims they comes up with wierd interpretations of Islamic text, becomes hadith rejector and even apostate from Islam.
I want to discuss that
1)Is dawah a responsibility of a scholars/students or everyone?
2)what are prerequisites of giving dawah.
3)and how laymen should be involve in Dawah.
Inshallah I will post that to my blog.

Re: Dawah an individual obligation? And Role of laymen?
Al-Salamu `Alaykum Wa Rahmatu 'Llahi Wa BarakaTuhu,
I've seen the former with my own eyes, and I've heard of the latter.
So I don't see it as ridiculous at all. I think the Daees can do a better of how they promote and motivate their audience in the issue of seeking knowledge. It's more detailed than what's being presented and this issue has become a Fitnah for many which needs to be dealt with.
I won't comment on the question regarding the thread though, as I don't really have a definite answer to it. In my opinion, everyone needs to play their part - but not overplay it, or underplay it.
And Allah (swt) knows best.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَىٰ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ ۚ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْتَلُونَ ۖ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنجِيلِ وَالْقُرْآنِ ۚ وَمَنْ
أَوْفَىٰ بِعَهْدِهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ ۚ فَاسْتَبْشِرُوا بِبَيْعِكُمُ الَّذِي بَايَعْتُم بِهِ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah ? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment.

Re: Dawah an individual obligation? And Role of laymen?
our individual obligation is to save ourselves and our families. the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi was-sallam would dispatch certain sahabah to call a particular nation to islam. i think this hadith, convey on my behalf, is taken out of context to mean give da'wah, i think this simply means narrate ahadith if you know it. so if a muslim is unsure about the ruling on eating donkey meat, you may convey on behalf of the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi was-sallam that it is forbidden.
da'wah is not the responsibility of the layman. at least i don't believe so. what you describe is exactly why we shouldn't be calling people to islam, unless it is on a very basic level. such as, calling them to tawhid, salah, zakat and to abandon major sins. not spending time debating and getting entangled in discussions on speculative theology as this will only lead us to say something about Allah without knowledge and end up lying. this is exactly what led even the most knowledgeable to become Mu'tazilah.

We should convey knowledge even if it's a verse.
To me that means to share something you have validated and understood with the help of a learned person or something simple for lay man.
I. E. If Christian says Allah isn't a loving God. Which they still do, ask them and explain after what Al Wadud means. It means the loving.
Also Islam says to gain knowledge you have to learn and travel, nobody gets that just sitting at home, so we need to help such people getting off their backsides lol. Some learning maybe done at home like Quran and hadith but not all, like the understanding and pronounciation etc.

Re: Dawah an individual obligation? And Role of laymen?
Everybody has to be doing something according to their means for which they will be accountable for e.g. dawah to their immediate neighbours, non muslim family, work colleagues, student buddies etc...
However on a bigger scale - dawah stalls, exhibitions - this is a communal obligation

Here are some highlights from How to Master the English Bible by James Gray.
"One is grateful to have studied Hebrew and Greek, just to be able to tell others who have not that they do not require either to hearken to our Heavenly Father's voice."
"and therefore asked him to explain the manner of his reading, when he related the following: He had gone into the country to spend the Sabbath with his family on one occasion, taking with him a pocket copy of Ephesians, and in the afternoon, going out into the woods and lying down under a tree, he began to read it; he read it through at a single reading, and finding his interest aroused, read it through again in the same way, and, his interest increasing, again and again. I think he added that he read it some twelve or fifteen times, "and when I arose to go into the house," said he, "I was in possession of Ephesians, or better yet, it was in possession of me, and I had been 'lifted up to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus' in an experimental sense in which that had not been true in me before, and will never cease to be true in me again."
"read a whole book of the Bible straight through at a sitting."
"Thus to master book after book is to fill the mind with the great thoughts of God."
"I read Genesis through in the English at a single reading, and then repeated the process again and again until the book in its great outlines had practically become mine. Then i took up Exodus in the same way, Leviticus, Numbers, and practically all the other books of the Old and New Testaments to Revelation, with the exception of Proverbs, the Psalms and one or two others which do not lend themselves readily to that plan of reading, and indeed do not require it to their understanding and mastery."
"The plan was to read and reread each book by itself and in its order, as though there were no other in existence, until it had become a part of the very being."
"Was the task tedious and long? No more than was Jacob's when he served Laban for his daughter Rachel."
"It is not asked that it be studied in the ordinary sense, or memorised, or even sought to be understood at first; but simply read."
"It stands for two things – the reading of the book uninfluenced by its divisions into chapters and verses, and reading of the book in this way at a single sitting."
"Why read the books in a single sitting? Many of the books of the Bible have a single thread running through the whole – a pivotal idea around which all the subsidiary ones revolve – and to catch this thread, to seize upon this idea, is absolutely necessary to unravel or break up the whole in its essential parts."
"A book is not to be laid aside for any other succeeding book of the Bible until the mastery is assured."
"John Chrysostom said that "If any one assiduously attend public worship, even without reading the Bible at home, but carefully hearkening here, he will find a single year sufficient to give him an intimate acquaintance with the Scriptures."
"Every church should be more or less truly a Bible Training school, and the pastor the head of it."

Google Creative Lab Debuts 'Demo Slam'
To promote Google (like they need it) and the full suite of Google innovations, the search giant's Creative Lab unit is launching "Demo Slam," a new web platform created in partnership with Johannes Leonardo.
With Demo Slam, consumers can create their own Google tech demonstrations and engage in online battles that showcase Google's latest innovations in creative and entertaining ways.
The purpose of this campaign is obviously to enhance consumer awareness and use of the entire arsenal of Google offerings such as the Google Translate, Google Realtime Search and Google Goggles, the last of which is used in the spot above that features a recreation of Mount Rushmore.
Johannes Leonardo co-founder Leo Premutico says in a statement, "By giving people an online arena to pit their tech demos against one another, Google is encouraging the public to not only have fun and get creative with technology, but also challenging them to rethink how it's used in our lives."
After the jump, view credits and another spot that ties skateboarding to the Google Mobile voice search feature.

Prospect Global Permitting Update: Company Moves To Secure Key Arizona Permits
DENVER, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Prospect Global Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: PGRX) today announced that it has taken an important step forward in its long-term plan to be first to market with potash from the Holbrook Basin of eastern Arizona, one of the most promising potash fields in the United States.
Prospect Global, through its wholly-owned subsidiary American West Potash LLC, has submitted applications for two key permits with the State of Arizona. The Company filed with the Arizona State Land Department its Draft Mineral Development Report as part of an application to convert certain of its state exploration permits into mineral leases. The Mineral Development Report discusses the mining, geology, processing, environmental impact and economics of the Company's proposed annual production of 2 million metric tons of potash. The Company also submitted an application for its Air Quality Control Permit to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality for administrative review.
In its Mineral Development Report, Prospect Global cites expert analysis indicating that the project will have minimal environmental effects on the surrounding area in terms of water use, air quality and visual impact, while providing significant socioeconomic benefits to Apache and Navajo County municipalities and the State of Arizona.
Brian Wallace, Chief Operating Officer of Prospect Global, said: "Experts anticipate that our Holbrook Project will create up to 4,500 direct, indirect and induced jobs during construction and more than 1,200 direct, indirect and induced jobs during the productive life of the mine. During the life of the mine, we anticipate generating tax revenue in excess of $1.5 billion for Arizona at the state, county and local levels. In all, we estimate that the Holbrook Project will generate nearly $1.9 billion in wages and nearly $5.5 billion in total economic output."The Company is also finalizing its application for the Aquifer Protection Permit with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, which it plans to submit in the second quarter of 2013.

These enemies are incredibly quickly recovered and can easily heal their wounds. Moreover, with major damage to any area of the body, Dzh'avo can start the process of controlled mutation, re-establish its combat capability and even get new features, which makes them even more dangerous and unpredictable. Yet another form of mutation of the virus to - Dolly. The process of mutation of these creatures takes longer, but when it finally ended, liberty pulled out the most terrible and dangerous creatures.

My boys have made these at their preschool and I still get them out every year to decorate my mantle with for Halloween. A fantasticly easy craft to do with little ones!
big square of orange fabric
scrap strip of a green fabric
brown craft bag or lunch bag
some rafia
First, lay the toilet paper on top of the fabric, and then start pulling the fabric up and tucking it inside the tube. Go all the way around until the roll is covered.
Then fold and twist your paper bag, which will become the pumpkin's stem.
Two ways to do the "leaves." 1) Fold the strip of green fabric in half lengthwise. Then cradle it around your twisted paper bag "stem." Or 2) Lay it over the top open, tucking in slightly, so that it becomes two leaves.
Finally, wrap some raffia loosely around the base of your "stem", and push it in the top. Twisting gently helps secure it. Presto pumpkins!

April 10th, 2014 By Pedro FernandezROY JONES STILL ACTIVE FIGHTER
San Francisco, CA- Defeating WBA heavyweight title claimant Johnny "Louise" Ruiz via UD 12 in 2004 was probably the peak of the Roy Jones era. From that point forward, it's been down hill, sometimes face down for Roy who paid dearly for an undeserved decision over Antonio Tarver. In the rematch, Tarver knocked Roy the blank out in two rounds. Then came the one-punch KO by Glen Johnson which was followed by another loss to Tarver. At this point and time, Jones could have retired and everybody who knows or cares about him would have agreed.
Instead he continued and in 2008 lost by wide scores to Joe Calzaghe. The Welshman retired after this fight at 45-0. Getting two wins over Omar Sheika and Jeff Lacy weren't enough to restart the Roy Jones fan club, they being a bunch of writers that thought like Roy that he was a boxing God. Then came more three straight losses, a KO 1 by Danny Green, UD 12 loss to Bernard Hopkins, and a "sick" KO loss in his May 2011 fight against Denis Lebedev.
When I say sick, if you saw the last punch a helpless Roy took, this when referee Steve Smoger refused to step in and Roy was hit standing up semi-concussed. Essentially, he was out on his feet until a clean punch was thrown while he was impersonating a boxing mime as he wasn't speaking or moving. Frozen in midair and referee Smoger allowed Roy to take so clean a shot in a concussed mode already. It was so scary that I thought to myself, the residual effects of all this brain trauma, Roy needs to stick with his HBO work which is excellent.
Nobody great ever got out of this game without getting hurt. Not Muhammad Ali, Ray Leonard, Joe Louis, Oscar De La Hoya, Evander Holyfield, and certainly not Roy Jones. Having fought three stiffs since Lebedev, maybe Roy is the exception and won't get pugilistic dementia, an ailment that affects boxers (punch drunk syndrome). Sometimes you see it early, sometimes late, sometimes never. Others like Jake LaMotta and Micky Ward and George Chuvalo, those three could take a licking and are still talking clearly today. But they are the exception and not the rule! Hey Roy, can you relate?
Even had Smoger stepped in when he should have, Roy Jones still took a beating. He has been knocked out four times in the ring, at least once in the gym prior to the Olympics, thus Roy has been KO'd five times. I think if an NFL quarterback suffered five concussions he would likely be retired.
Instead of being one of the great fighters of the late 20th century, Roy Jones will be remembered for his KO losses and his staying around way too long. We may see some of this in a few years, maybe ten as these ass whippings are going to come back and haunt Roy Jones. He's fought thrice since Lebedev, the last being in December 2013 in Russia, suffice to say that Roy Jones is gambling with his life by boxing at the age of 45, especially in light of the KO losses.
The reason why I thought the Jones photograph is so "telling" is that it features a young Roy Jones looking over the shoulder at an old, almost elderly looking Roy Jones.
Pedro Fernandez
Amazing work Pedro.
I'm a Roy Jones fan yet I hope he reads this article because he has been on the downside ever since his KO loss to Tarver. This article could be the wake-up call that he needs. Legends die hard, and Jones has been dying a slow boxing death for many years. This is what ticks me off about the sport, the man is clearly DONE and is risking suffering further damage, yet there is no one in the sport who has the authority or is willing to step in and save him from himself. It's all about money and as long as fighters can draw some PPV numbers, promoters will continue to exploit fighters like Jones.
For example, Antonio Margarito should not be allowed to fight considering what he did. If he was a tomato can who couldn't draw flies to s#$*, I believe Margarito would have been banned for life, as he should have. In the famous words of Nino Brown in the movie New Jack City, "Money talks and BS runs a marathon!" It's all about money and most promoters don't care about what happens to fighters once they can no longer profit them.
I remember watching Jones interview years ago and he talked about how seeing his friend Gerald McClellan in such a bad state had an effect on him. Due to the injuries he sustained in his fight with Nigel Benn in 1995, Gerald is now blind, can barely hear and his short-term memory has been affected. As you pointed out, Roy has been knocked out cold 4 times and as a Jones fan, I don't want to see him end up like his friend or so many other fighters who couldn't stay away.
This is the first time I've heard about him being knocked out in training camp as an amateur (I'm referring to your previous article). This is why I consider you one of the best boxing writers/personalities in the business because while I've been a die-hard boxing fan for 35 years and I know a thing or two about the sport, every time I read your articles or listen to the radio show, I learn something new.
Pedro, I live in Pensacola and it's sad because Jones can't even get a fight here any more. They tried to set one up a year ago and nobody bought tickets and they had to cancel it.
Keep up the best boxing articles on the web.
When Roy Jones fought Richard Hall in Indianapolis, they both failed the drug test for steroids. Roy's attorney sent me a letter saying he had used an over the counter supplement called "Ripped Fuel". The test could only tell that he had an above normal amount of steroids, not if it was a supplement.
Regardless , he failed the test. After this fight, Indiana passed rules with penalties for failing a drug test. Roy took a drug test in his next three fights and submitted the results to the Indiana Boxing Commission. All three tests were negative.
Love this site for the info…comments from all of you or as Pedro says "the RingTalk Family" is another example as to what separates this site from other boxing websites…Big Ups to the RingTalk Fam!
You expecting Roy to head overseas to face Darius M. is ridiculous. Roy Jones was pound for pound number one in the sport … a global icon. What you are suggesting is the equivalent of Austin Trout dictating a fight with Manny Pacquiao should be in his hometown. Please. Roy was the draw. Roy's legacy didn't need Darius. In my view Darius should have come to the US if he really wanted the fight. I'm not going to fault Roy, who was the DRAW, because he's past his prime. Let's not play revisionist history.
Yes, Roy should hang them up. I agree. But implying he should have went overseas at the TOP of his game I can't roll with. I mean, who was Darius to say "my country or nowhere?"
LC, BADLY MISINFORMED. Roy was never a draw. Never sold out good size arenas. Dariusz & he would have fought outdoor in a soccer stadium. Dariusz was the draw, like Bute is in Canada.
Hi Pedro,
Love your stuff, as usual. How to measure a boxers career is a very interesting yet difficult game to play. Here me out here; Roy was basically undefeated from 1989 to 2004- thats 15 years. This is the same period that Floyd has been undefeated. And you cannot compare Floyds career to Roys. Roy fought and beat the best middleweights, super-middleweights, and light heavyweights for 15 years. Floyd is a better salesman, Roy played country ignorant til after he lost his first fight with Tarver. Then his personality came out and his arrogance went away. Roy beat better fighters than floyd ever did. Did Floyd ever beat a prime all time great like a James Toney, Bernard Hopkins. Or a secondary all time 'very good' like Virgil HIll or Mike McCallum?
Roy lost his first fight at 35. At 35, Ali was fighting and losing to leon spinks in the superdome, Tyson was getting knocked out by an equally over the hill Lennox Lewis and Frazier was already retired. Pedro, with all due respect, 35 is over the hill and out for any speed/reflex boxer. Roy was perfect for 15 years, lost on average 1/2 a round per fight, that my friend is incredible. He made the biggest business mistake in history in turning down holyfield for tarver. That was just country stupidity. Floyd ducked literally Cotto, Margarito, Citron, Pacquiao three times, and Kosta Tzyu. You cant compare their careers. Roy was an all time TOP 20 fighter as soon as he retires. He would have been a top 5 if he retired after Ruiz in March 2003. By the way whom knocked him out as an amateur??? A 22 year old lefthander while Roy was only 17, keep it real Pedro.
i believe in order to be a good journalist, you need to be neutral…unbiased! When the personal element is involved, it can taint the facts which is what need to be stated correct? in my opinion, the bigger crowd may have showed up in Germany than in the states if the fight came off. the fans over there seem to post more aggressive attendance in "super stage" fights. But i have to ask, whats the obsession with Michalczewski? i understand the purpose for mentioning him the first time in your article, but why the second? Are you a fan of his? i feel the need to post the facts so lets look at what we DO know! Jones has the better record vs common opponents(go to boxrec and do the comparisons), most notably being jones-ud 12 vs gonzalez/darius-sd loss vs gonzalez. This made Roy the A-side fighter as touted by most boxing media. Also, Roy fought better competition overall, and even fought better fighters than Darius historically, after he was passed it(hopkins, calzaghe, trinidad). Both fighters "stuck to their guns" about not leaving their resective countries, so why didnt you just report they both failed? Lastly, i disagree with your comment about Jones legacy being affected. Louis, Robinson, Ali, and many other great fighters fought way past their primes with disastrous results, yet that didnt affect their standings historically nor what they accomplished while in their prime. Nothing can erase history…that being said, i believe Roy needs to let his boxing career become part of history now
Fact, said legal supplement Ripped Fuel was not a banned substance at the time Roy Jones Jr. took it. Fact, if said fighter took the supplement it definitely could lead to a higher then normal testosterone level thus resulting in a positive test. Fact, Jones never had a positive test again and Ripped Fuel was since put on the banned substance list. Use some common sense. Fact, it is absolutely irresponsible to throw around allegations without proper research and objectivity. When he was pfp # 1 there was no point for him to go overseas. The honus was on Darius not Roy. Roy had way more to lose then Dariusz, and Roy was already pfp # 1. That is like Floyd going to Puerto Rico to fight Cotto, or Pacman going to Mexico to fight Canelo, or Floyd/Pac going to GB to fight Kahn. None would never happen as long as Floyd/Manny are on top, nor should they. Pointless subjective article.
Rouy Jones was not undefeated he had a loss to Montell Griffen in a fight he ws losing and frustrated and hit griffen when he was down. He avenged te loss but only after Motell got the big head and got rid of legendary trainer Eddie Futch. Roy Jones fought a green Bernard Hopkins who at the time was no alltime great, and James Toney who striggled to make weight. Veirgil Hill was old and so was Mcaallum who was 40 or (older many experts state he was 5 years older than he claimed). If Floyd fought the people Roy fought he would get Hammered. Richard hall, that othe guy who ws a part time Postman Tony Thornton, Merqui Sosa, Antoine Byrd, Lou Devalle, Richard Fraizer, David Telesco. Not hall of fame talent. The worst guy Floyd fougt was the Kid from Puert Rico who was a Cotto Clone. Roy avoided, Nigel Benn, Michael Nunn, Gerald mcclellan and anyone considered dangerous at that time. he never fought an improved Hopkins Until Berard becamethe aside. he pimped HBO for money fighting bums.
Sad about Roy. In the 90s he was no. 1 p4p maybe longer than anyone else in the history of the sport, save, these days, Mayweather. I don't comment on the boxing boards much these days but it's funny seeing kids talk who have no idea how good he was.
Prime Roy Jones was as close to unbeatable a fighter as I've ever seen. Boring, often, but among the most athletic and gifted fighters ever.
It's hard to imagine what compels him to keep fighting at this age.
Regarding Dariusz, haven't thought of that in a long time.
It's somewhat long the lines of Paquiao-Mayweather not being made though… they waited and waited and finally nobody cared, then they both started losing to lesser fighters.
In their primes it may have been kind of an interesting fight, but hard to see Roy losing.
The European fighters at the time were considered kind of second-rate.
Oh how times change… now they beat our ***** regularly, LOL.
Settle something for me. You said he got KO'd pre-Olympics. By who? Here's the reason I ask. When Roy got stopped by Tarver, he was asked if it had ever happened before. He said "yeah. Once a long time ago in the amateurs." I was told it was Frankie Lyles. Every amateur video I have is of either Roy winning or losing to Lyles, but nothing close to a KO. WHO THE HECK WAS IT?
Ray Leonard told me at 88 Olympic Trials in Concord, CA. Don't know who..
What BAD ADVICE RJ. Jr. must be recieving from either his Alter-Ego.. or his Insiders?? Either way, wish Roy would recall Rocky's exist.. Undefeated at age 31… and forever more, Mr. 49-0!
RJ's other talents.. such as HBO TALK, will serve him handsomely.. no need to continue tryong to regain, the LONG PAST, qucikness/speed of hand/foot, that he once DOMINATED the WORLD with during the 90's..
The 'MAGIC-DUST', only last for a few moments in time, as Abe Saperstein reflected upon… about his coaching career, and 'Red' Aurbach's.. run with the CELTICS.
Leave the Stage.. while they are still CLAPPING.. rather than getting 'The HOOK'.
Jones should never have goven Antonio loudmouth any attention on that day, at the press conference. You cannot lose over 20lb of pure muscle and still be Superman. Just impossible.
Pedro, while it is probably true that Roy had a KO prior to the Tarver fight, I shouldn't rely on Ray as a source. Ray was sooooo jealous of Roy Jones, it was sickening.
Roy fought the guys he did because it was common knowledge to boxing insiders that Roy had no chin. And he could not draw flies. All time greats do not get COLDCOCKED by the likes of Tarver and Johnson. He does good work on HBO..now if we could get Max to shut up!
This guy is a hater!!! Wishing he was a washed up champ? But never. This guy even has the stones to talk about Hagler????!!!! Wtf
