It isn't the size of the wheel/tire combo it's the weight of the wheels...If you had lightweight alloys on your car and went back to a heavier factory wheel or the other way around then yes you will feel a difference..................

if you feel that slight of a difference then you must be ashamed of your cars performance

What the EU South Korea Free Trade Agreement Reveals About the State of EU Trade Policy
edited on 13/01/10 The EU South Korea agreement is the most ambitious bilateral trade agreement the EU has agreed to sign up to. But it is likely to be an exception, given that current EU trade policy is rather in dire straits.
I promised a more exhaustive analysis of the EU South Korea trade deal in a previous blog post. Finally, here it is:
The EU South Korea agreement is one of the most ambitious trade liberalizing bilateral agreement the EU has agreed to sign up to. But it is likely to be an exceptional agreement as the EU's overall trade strategy is dire straits.
In the early months of 2010, the ratification of European Union - South Korea free trade agreement (EU South Korea FTA) finalised in October last year will be a test for the EU's new trade policy decision-making process. Indeed, it is the European Union's (EU) first bilateral trade agreement that will undergo the ratification procedures under the new Lisbon Treaty rules: co-ratification by the EU Parliament. Nobody really knows for sure how this ratification will play out, although it is widely believed that the Parliament will not bloc it. The real question is how powerful the EU automobile lobby's influence in Brussels and in some national capitals – which has fiercely opposed the deal so far – will turn out to be in the system's new, yet still sketchy, configuration. In the meantime, it is interesting to linger on the substance of the agreement, in order to assess where the EU is heading overall in its trade policy.
If one is to flesh out the core facts about the EU South Korea agreement's almost 2000 pages, one could say that the following items are on the menu:
- Virtually all tariffs are eliminated, including, from the side of the EU but not of South Korea, most agricultural tariffs. Tariffs will be phased out immediately on entry into force of the agreement, or in reasonable stages. These include a maximum five years for some products the EU considered sensitive such as automobiles, or some agricultural products. South Korea's sensitive high value-added manufacturing imports such as medical equipment will see their tariffs disarmed in eight years.
- The agreement breaks new ground in the EU's tradition of FTAs: it provides for some real achievements in services. These go beyond existing commitments in the World Trade Organization's (WTO) services trade text, the GATS. This is the case for financial services and telecommunications, maritime transport services and e-commerce.
- Furthermore, for the first time in the history of modern-day free trade agreements there are strong and precise clauses on the elimination of some selected non tariff barriers (safety standards and accreditation procedures) in automobiles and electronics. It provides for legally binding commitments to adopt international, - yet EU dominated (UNECE) - standards in electronics (safety standards), self-declaration of conformity, and the elimination of double testing requirements for accreditation; and the adoption of international standards in automobiles.
- The EU also makes some modest yet interesting moves towards a more liberal approach in its traditionally strict rules of origin, by accepting to go to 55% local value added in most manufactures. Of particular interest the EU's agreement to allow duty drawback (although with the possibility to review the commitment in five years), which it had so far refused to do in any bilateral agreement. Therefore, South Korea may continue to reimburse the import of automobile parts from China, as long as the share of these imports does not increase in the production of products destined to the EU.
- The trade deal reinforces the EU's drive for greater stringency in international intellectual property right protection. It aligns itself with the US' trade agreement 70 year copyright protection. An EU "specialty"is the protection of Geographical Indicators (GIs) for agricultural products. With the Korea agreement, the EU has gone beyond the traditional protection of its wine and spirit names, and expanded to other products – beers, meat specialties, cheeses, olive oil, asf. Korea for its part protects teas, rice and spices.
- It was not difficult for the EU to continue on its rather trade restrictive approach on sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures: South Korea also strongly protects its agricultural sector. The text just refers to the existing multilateral WTO text on SPS. Furthermore, the EU cherished "precautionary principle" is also part of the FTA, which weakens the WTO's injunction to base trade restrictive measures on strong scientific groundings
- The EU also applies its traditional approach by including clauses on competition policy which seek to make its partners align their practices to the EU's. A novelty however is the obligation on both sides to report transparently to each other their respective distribution of subsidies to their economies (with exceptions in shipbuilding or fisheries, however).
- In the area of safeguards and antidumping, there is not much innovation beyond basic WTO rules. However, the parties have agreed to previously notify each other in case of adoption of safeguard measures.
- The EU South Korea deal, as is traditionally the case in all the EU's trade agreements, also contains clauses on human rights, labour standards and environmental protection. This text probably the longest list of international conventions on human rights, labour and environmental matters the EU wants its commercial partners to sign up to. It includes for the first time, the Kyoto Protocol. Interestingly, however, the agreement, contrary to virtually all EU FTAs, does not appear to contain the word "democracy", although it puts human rights high on the agenda.
- The final and most substantial break-through in the EU South Korea agreement is the adoption of a judicial dispute settlement mechanism modeled on bilateral legal arbitration procedures the United States includes in its free trade agreements.. This applies to trade in goods only. And there are of course exclusions: SPS, antidumping, services. Non tariff measures in automobiles for their part can be subject to an accelerated procedure. Even the social and environmental clauses are subject to a potential panel dispute, but here the rulings are not legally binding. Yet they certainly signal a hardening of the EU's approach in this field.
So, what to make of all this?
The first interesting lesson one can learn from the EU South Korea deal is that the EU's FTAs are "americanising": the EU is becoming more commercially assertive. The deals resemble increasingly templates provided by the United States' own "gold standard" free trade agreements based on NAFTA. But one could say, in a Brussels that boasts many French-style restaurants amenable to back-room deals, the filet is "américain", but the sauce is "à l'européenne".
The US American "meat" regards the ambitious approach in tariffs, in services, IPRs, and dispute settlement. The EU South Korea deal also leaves out many other economic policy areas usually included in EU FTAs. It so slims the agreement down to somewhat less numerous topics, but more legally binding clauses: the EU's focus is commercial above all, and less mixed up with developmental and other political or economic cooperation goals that tend to accompany the EU's FTAs with developing and emerging markets.
The European "sauce" for its part concerns the more ambitious approach in non tariff measures, namely standards, which is something the US, which tends to be content with simply referring to the rather weak WTO TBT (technical barriers to trade) Agreement, doesn't usually have. The focus on GIs also a typically European policy. So is the "precautionary principle" in setting standards and assessing whether imports of foreign goods comply with them. Finally, although the new Lisbon Treaty gives the EU Commission the right to negotiate on foreign direct investment (FDI), this area was not covered in the EU South Korea. US American FTAs do cover FDI liberalization [although there are basic rules on "establishment"] and in particular investment protection. Only a future FTA signed by the EU might contain such clauses.
Yet, in following the US's footpath, the EU clearly reveals that it is making its task easy. Despite it being the biggest trading entity in the world responsible for one fifth of world trade, and despite the fact that trade its most powerful external policy, the EU has not been a major trend-setter in the more recent, new-generation, bilateral trade deals generally. It does not tend to have the same clout and commercial success as its main rival on the FTA front, the United States. If the EU signed in the late 1990s free trade agreements with Chile and Mexico, and launched talks with South Korea and ASEAN it is because the United States had begun the process. Whereas the structure and design of the bilateral agreement has tended to differ quite substantially between the US and the EU, this, too has now started to change. The EU CARIFORUM Economic Partnership Agreement (a trade agreement that forms part of the EU's policy towards Asia-Pacific-Caribbean countries) signed in late 2008, and the EU South Korea agreement resemble increasingly the agreements these countries have signed with the US. The EU basically demanded negotiations on the basis of the preexisting agreements of these countries with the US, and adapted some of the clauses to its own needs, special interests, and negotiating constraints.
Although, if ratified, the EU South Korea would send a positive signal to a recession-ridden world tempted by protectionism, one can certainly not expect the deal to be a fresh new start for EU trade policy. It is even rather a fig leaf on the failure of the EU's recent international market access strategy. The EU's approach has two core elements:
- firstly, to drop the EU's onus on multilateral trade negotiations in the Doha Round and to shift to signing ambitious bilateral trade deals to secure better market access in the world for its industries and services sector;
- secondly, to focus on Asia, which has lucrative markets for the EU which still maintain high levels of tariff, but in particular non tariff protection in manufacturing and services.
The EU has aimed to sign a full-fledged agreement with South Korea, India, and the 10-country grouping ASEAN (which has just announced a big trade deal with China). It was also to sign a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with a strong commercial component with China. Only the EU South Korea deal has been finalized, three years after the EU strategy – dubbed "Global Europe" - was officially launched. Relations with China have hit rock-bottom. Bilateral talks with India have led nowhere. And EU-ASEAN proved very quickly a chimera. Now the EU Commission has come up with launching negotiations with an eager Singapore, and so signaled it will discuss with individual ASEAN members. EU-South Korea has been easier because of the Korea's strong motivation to achieve a commercially significant deal. Furthermore, except in the automobile sector, there is hardly any significant or at least politically sensitive import-competition that would make the EU as recalcitrant towards China's imports, or would be towards Indian services or ASEAN low-skilled manufacturing exports.
In fact, the EU is currently much too defensive in international markets – it resents the rise of Asian, and in particular Chinese exports. The labour and services markets and key industries of major member states (Southern Europe, France and to some extent Germany) have not yet been adapted to 21st Century economic realities. This reinforces protectionist sentiment. Furthermore, the EU's systematic linkage of social and environmental clauses to trade negotiations and its drive to export its regulations is likely to alienate its increasingly powerful and self-confident emerging market partners.

Gaia hypothesisSyllabification: Gai·a hy·poth·e·sis
Definition of Gaia hypothesis in English:
The theory, put forward by James Lovelock, that living matter on the earth collectively defines and regulates the material conditions necessary for the continuance of life. The planet, or rather the biosphere, is thus likened to a vast self-regulating organism.
Example sentences
- This outlook is rooted in the Gaia hypothesis - that the world is best seen as a single organism, of which we are just part.
- Dr Lynn Margulis, who developed the Gaia hypothesis with James Lovelock and who is probably the premier biologist in the world, came up with the endosymbiotic theory of evolution.
- His most famous idea is the Gaia hypothesis, which holds that living organisms and non-life together form a coupled system in which life creates conditions that favour it.
Definition of Gaia hypothesis in:

Armenian-American seeks Virginia congressional seat
Charles Diradour challenges No. 2 House Republican Eric Cantor
Published: Thursday September 17, 2009
Washington - Charles Diradour, a Richmond real estate developer, will challenge incumbent Rep. Eric Cantor (R.-Va.) in the 2010 congressional elections, Mr. Diradour's campaign reported on September 15.
A third-generation Richmond resident, Mr. Diradour has been active in the local Armenian community and the city's politics. But local media reports suggest he will have a challenging run against a prominent incumbent in a district that has historically favored Republican candidates.
Last year, Rep. Cantor was elected Republican Whip in the House of Representatives, the number-two position in the GOP congressional hierarchy just below minority leader.
In office since 2001, Mr. Cantor is a member of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues. He has co-sponsored resolutions on the Armenian Genocide, with the exception of the 2007 resolution, which was blocked by the Republican administration and congressional leadership.
Prior to his election to Congress and while a member of Virginia General Assembly, Mr. Cantor helped win recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the state. In April 2002 he was selected to chair the Genocide commemorative event in Virginia.
Mr. Diradour is the fourth Armenian-American known to have announced a 2010 campaign.
Natalie (Manoogian) Mosher and David Krikorian are also seeking the Democratic Party's nomination in House races in Michigan and Ohio, respectively. And Republican Danny Tarkanian is challenging Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, in Nevada.

However, Esteban used most of the time to gain experience with the Intermediate and Full Wet tyres. He was able to complete 96 laps. Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering : "As forecast, the final day of the test was dominated by intermittent rain showers. During the short dry spell in the morning we were able to complete an important aero test giving us useful data in preparation for next week's test. For the rest of the day we gave Esteban plenty of running with the Intermediate and Full Wet tyres in preparation for the season ahead." Esteban Gutiérrez: "It was a very interesting day for me as well as for the team, because it was important to get some experience in wet conditions. For me it was the very first time I had driven a Formula One car in the wet. It was particularly interesting in the morning, when the track was wet to begin with and then started to dry out. I was able to drive with dry tyres in very tricky conditions, which was a situation I could experience in a race. It was important for me to feel this change in conditions. In the afternoon I got the opportunity to compare the Intermediate tyres with the Full Wets. I learned so much today. This was just what I needed." What comes next: This was the final day of the first of two Barcelona tests. Testing will be resumed on February 28th. Esteban will run on days one and three, and Nico on days two and four.

From Sociology to Cultural Studies: New Perspectives
544 pages
November 1997, Wiley-Blackwell
Part I: Thinking Through Memory and Tradition.
Part II: Reframing Popular Forms and Usages.
Part III: Relating Cultural Processes and Social Inequality.
Part IV: Engaging Disciplinarity and Other Politics of Knowledge.
* Newly commissioned articles from the most prominent scholars doing work in this area.
* Essays combine the empirical and theoretical work to make the link between sociology and the analytical perspectives found outside the discipline.
"Combining a thoughtful assessment of the intellectual roots of cultural studies with an impassioned inquiry into its future directions, this original and intellectually vibrant collection of essays is an important intervention in the field. By rigorously insisting on the importance of questions about social structure and social process to cultural studies' past, the authors of these essays demonstrate how a more socially oriented approach can revivify the tradition and strengthen its capacity fir practical and political intervention in the future. A 'must read' for anyone interested in the work that cultural studies can do." – Janice Radway, Duke University
"In this exciting collection, Long has drawn together scholars whose work represents the potential shared concerns and characteristics of sociology and cultural studies: that of responding to changes in the world and maintaining a sense of a project for a more egalitarian society. It will be of interest to sociologists and cultural studies scholars and students alike as a set of invigorating challenges to both fields." – Ann Gray, University of Birmingham, UK

There are many things needing our attention in the early days of UKPIPS – and publicity material is very close to the top of the list.
Currently, we're awaiting some funding so we can go 'all out' to get our publicity to places where it matters and we hope to achieve those objectives quite soon.
In the meantime, we thought you'd all like to see what's been prepared thus far and maybe you might even be willing to run off a few copies of each to give to people you know with a Primary Antibody Deficiency (PAD) or Primary Immune Deficiency (PID)? Remember, you're under no obligation to do this, but if the mood takes you – we won't object.
Downloadable content
- Information leaflet. This is a single piece of A4 paper printed on both sides and then folded 1/3rd and 2/3rds across in landscape. It gives a brief history of how UKPIPS came into being and what it plans to do. We're currently producing a lot of these until we can get some professionally printed. Click here to download.
- Insert. This is a single piece of A4 sliced into three pieces that fits inside the leaflet and invites people to join UKPIPS and to identify how they'd like to receive the Newsletter. Click here to download or use our online form.
- Posters 1 and 1A. We've designed these ideally so that they could sit side by side when on display as they give a very brief thumbnail summary of what UKPIPS is about. These will safely enlarge up to A3. Click here to download Poster 1 and here for Poster 1A.
There are many more plans for different posters and leaflets – and if you have some thoughts on what you'd like to see, please let us know.

incredible hits...Anonymous - Nov 10 2014, 05:41 AM
"I agree with another reviewer that the customer service for this company is outstanding. My color choice was not available, which caused a slight delay, to make up for it they upgraded my storage container and threw in a dozen screens... not bad for a few days wait. Items were packaged nicely and tracking was spot on. As for the product...hits like a champ and you never worry about material ending up in your mouth. I put it through heavy use over the weekend and it still draws easily...very impressive. I do have a few comments though..the carb placement takes a bit to get used to...it eats through material quickly (because of the massive draw) and a lot of ash and material end up in the chamber compartment...a glass bowl with a built in glass screen would've been perfect. Have yet to clean it but that doesn't seem like it is going to be a problem. All in all, a fantastic pipe."
Prometheus PocketAnonymous - Sep 09 2014, 01:16 AM
"first and foremost... This ezvaporiezers.com's support staff was spot on. I ordered the wrong color so I called them up the next morning at opening time. The phone rang like 2x and someone answered with a ezvape script and after about a 30 second hold he told me my problem was resolved and the product would still ship the same day. Incredible. No hold music. no shipping center oustide of their control. Was super stoked. To the pipe. Damn thing is a boss hog. I was scared the pocket wouldn't pack the punch required to hit me where it counts but rest assured this is nothing to worry about. I havent had to clean it yet but I did take it apart and I'm extremely satisfied. 5/5 for the vendor 5/5 for the product."

"Outstanding in all manufacturer's claimed aspects, from ease of cleaning to balance and support. Quality is so off the scale it should be benchmarked as THE pipe that has all other makers left scratching their collective heads. It's so good I had to get the Nano version to satiate the lust. It will survive any Apocalypse - zombie or otherwise, guaranteed. "

"I mean WOW! Where to begin. Well, to start, ALL of my other pipes are now retired! I will never use another pipe again. This pipe is a smoker's dream. All the strength and protection of a metal pipe without the taste. Perfectly sealed. I will admit, I expected something slightly smaller, being called a "Pocket Pipe" and all, but who can complain at this level of quality and engineering."

Prometheus Pocket PipeDoug McCarten - Apr 05 2013, 07:44 AM
"This is a wonderful pipe that smokes without the collection of nasty residue. It produces a significantly improved smoking experience. It would help however, if the screens which are 20mm were readily available as I can't seem to find them anywhere. Lastly, it could use some kind of a top which would serve as a snuffer as well as make it more useful and convenient as a pocket pipe. All in all, this is a great product and I have no hesitation in providing a 4.5 out of 5 for this product."

The Mindy Project Review: The Amazing Raceby Chris O'Hara at . Comments
I had forgotten all about Morgan sending Danny's letter to his ex-wife, but it all came flooding back to me when guest star Chloe Sevigny appeared on screen.
When Danny fired Morgan, my shock matched that on the faces of Mindy and crew, but Morgan did cross the line. By the end of "Triathlon," though, it was Morgan who helped Danny cross the finish line, yet turned his old boss down when asked to come back to work. Yet another interesting twist.
Sevigny's character tried to enlist Mindy's help to get Danny back, while Mindy's relationship with the episode's other guest star (Anders Holm) came close to falling apart.
We have yet to see religion play a big part in Mindy's life, but when Casey mentioned her possibly converting to Christianity she embraced her Hindu heritage. It doesn't define her, but the thought of abandoning her faith just did not sit well. Apparently that wasn't the only thing making her uneasy, as she vomited at the race, forcing Danny to step up, put on her shoes and try to best Morgan in the final leg.
Betsy was cute as she tried to help Mindy explore a new religion and made Mindy's Sons of Anarchy reference possible.
Mindy: It's like Sons of Anarchy in here, okay? And none of the young hot characters, just like, the old ones.
There were some subtle jokes like when Mindy thought Betsy said she didn't like New york City bagels because they were "jewy" instead of "chewy." I also loved her Shopping is My Cardio tee. I'm not sure if I admired or pitied Casey as he kissed Mindy on her vomit-scented mouth, but that was some affirmation of his feelings for her.
Danny, meanwhile, reached out to Christina and made plans to meet up. Any chemistry the two doctors were building as of late seemed to be shelved for the foreseeable future.
Which couple do you think will last longer?
My guess is Mindy's romance will last longer, since Chloe Sevigny is a high-profile guest-star, so she probably won't stay long. I personnally would like Danny and Mindy together so the funny-awkward-curvy girl can finally get the guy. Getting tired of the good looking guy picking the beautiful girl with the perfect body. Also @katie I too was worried about the ratings, but they're still strong in the demo, averaging 1.5, so basically half of the audience is concentrated in the advertiser-friendly demographic.
Think you should prepare yourself Any Lynn...because eventually a Mindy and Danny romance will be addressed. Hello...the hand holding on the plane?!
What? To the user above, I definitely see the chemistry! It's kind of cringeworthy the # of guest starts she's had on the star, I can't ever be comfortable because I know they will all end up disappointing her/causing problems in some way. I wish Josh wasn't so crazy haha. Endgame for me is definitely Mindy/Danny even though it will probably takes ages. Since the ratings are so great, I feel like they should be moving it along...I know it's renewed for season 2, but it's go around 3 million viewers an episode even though it's hilarious!
ok we know what the ex wife looks like she can leave now. glad also they aren't going to put mindy n danny together yet, they both need to overcome their problems before they can.
I'm glad they're not angling towards putting Danny and Mindy together. I just don't see the chemistry. They have great FRIEND chemistry, but that's it. I enjoy her with Casey. He challenges her in many ways I think, helps her be a better person. I hope they don't leave Danny's ex on for too long, I'm not a fan of Chloe's and there's even less chemistry there than he has with Mindy. It was nice to see the midwife freak out at the end. And him helping Danny with his pain and tension. Those were pretty funny scenes!

Well, after a little over sixty thousand votes, I've decided to close the Heroes of Newerth Hero poll! It was an incredibly close race among the top three Heroes, Cthulhuphant (I did another concept sketch you can check out here), Gorge and Durandel, in that order. Thank you all so much for your participation, especially those of you that sent in Hero concepts!
The readers behind the finalists are:
Haglish- Keinan Miller
Vixen- Jessica Katria
Cthulhuphant- David Flax
Amoeba- Saulo de Oliveira
Durandel - Alex Cook
Kaiser was inspired by a submission from someone named Kyle that I took a few steps further by adding the Runestones. Unfortunately Kyle didn't submit his full name, but Kaiser was one of the Heroes I liked the best. And the person behind Groth and Bindle also didn't submit their name, but I'm sure they know who they are!
So the next step is for me to get in touch with S2 games with the list of heroes in order of popularity, and we'll start talking about which Hero they like the best, and what they think would fit best in the game/what the game needs at the moment. Everything is ultimately at the discretion of the developer, but I'm pretty excited about this next step of the process. I'll keep you guys posted as much as I can, when we settle on the hero and things start coming together.

Spotted: 2013 Cleveland 588 RTX Wedges
Here are some early looks of the new Cleveland 588 RTX Wedges for 2013. He have heard from an insider that has hit them…
A couple things…
1. they test EVERY groove, and they are maxed. The RTX milling is rough, but will not wear. As one of their designers said, the USGA really screwed up when they made the rule so absolute. Nothing about face roughness, just groove volume and shape.
2. Yes, I've hit them. It's like having your grooves back. A stunning leap forward (or backward, depending on your view!)

SO they are making the 588 FORGED wedge with the Rotex face? IF so when will those be coming out?

To Grandma's House We GoPosted: February 12th, 2010 | 1 Comment »
So last weekend Leslie and I made the trip up to Nashville, TN to visit her Grandparents and have a birthday dinner for her older sister. Buford and Nell are will have been married for 60 years in July and have lived happily in there home for the last 37. While I was there Nell was determined to make sure that I left her home stuffed. I piled my plate full of some wonderful southern home cooking, but she still wanted to make sure that I had all that I could eat and then some, haha. Nell & Buford are wonderful host's and I'm already looking forward to our next visit! Also, I can check off #18 from my goals of 2010. I tried a southern red beet for the first time…"different."
After dinner, we decided to go outside and grab a couple shots out in the snow. Enjoy the photos!Author: Eli | Filed under: families, personal, portraits | Tags: Eli & Leslie, Grandparents, Nashville Photography

What Imam Suhaib Webb Taught Me
It's very easy, growing up in a family that is not only culturally but also theologically conservative, to approach issues from a position of defensiveness. Defense is not always a bad thing; when it comes to matters of faith, better we think carefully and slowly than jump the gun. I wish more Muslim countries spent more of their money meaningfully defending themselves, their culture and, not least of all, their citizens. I wish more Muslims defended their values and taught them, so they could be understood as so worth defending. But the bad thing about defensiveness is that it inculcates a certain rigidity, a slowness to realize — to arrive — where others like myself might have arrived years before. It took me a long time to come to terms with my own frustration with the practice of Islam, the objectives of Muslims, our relationships with other communities and our vision — especially in the Muslim world — or the apparent absence of one. And when I say come to terms, I mean only that I came to terms with the existence of a deep frustration and cynicism. How to deal with that is my life project. You can expect my blog to catalog it.
That cynicism can kill. Not literally (but maybe that too, right?). Cynicism destroys faith, destroys hope, destroys motivation. Why do anything when everything seems to go from bad to worse regardless? It is not hard to think the same looking at the Muslim world and many Muslim communities. I know there are profound signs of hope, but sometimes there are equally shocking signs of distress, indications of failure and paralyzing feelings of suffocation. That's what guided me to realize, more and more, and especially with my work at NYU, the immense importance of a deep spiritual place. More than that even: serene. Not just emotional but physical, an actual location in the three dimensions. How much I underestimated the importance of finding a masjid, a community, that welcomes, challenges and improves, instead of ignores, dulls and insults. We can tell people in our community, "You have to go to jumu'ah." It is for men a fard. But what happens when the khutbah sucks, the Imam is lost, nobody understands anything and half the congregation, namely the youth, end up falling off and disappearing, because nobody cares and so, in cynicism, they do not care in a kind of wa 'alaykum salam for forever. Nobody leaves the board; nobody shares seats; nobody implements suggestions. The ummah is so afraid of its youth. That is: Our world is afraid of our future.
Now I want to tell people, "If your masjid stinks, start another one." If you can't, just don't go. We can implement the American principle of survival of the fittest. All these fancy masajid that spend their cash on domes and unnecessary flourishes, when they have limited cash and it is better spent elsewhere, how many have I been to that feature hundreds of adults but only a handful of youth? What is that going to accomplish for these communities, except abandoned masajid and disinterested, uninformed, cynical Muslims, a tiny minority in a hugely attractive and dynamic American sea? Good-bye. And I used to be afraid, or at least deeply worried, that such sentiments, when aired, would contribute to a gradual erosion of a certain conservative strength that sustains Islam at a time when so many other religions become increasingly subservient to microtrends, shifts in faith, practice, liturgy and meaning, to sate temporary appetites and in so doing to drastically punch holes in the solidity of faith, the Eternal Refuge, As-Samad, that God is, and provides through the faith. This is where Imam Suhaib Webb comes in.
During Ramadan, Imam Webb and Representative Keith Ellison were hosted by the Islamic Center at NYU for a joint MPAC-MAS event on political participation; I was very impressed by Mr Ellison's mastery of topics, ease with the crowd and the sense that he was wonderfully happy to be in his own skin (I predict a bright future for him.) But what Imam Webb shared with us struck me in a different way: He analogized the Companions of the Prophet, may God be pleased with them and may peace be upon him, to "homeboys"; laugh if you must. We all did; at least, we smirked. But that was precisely the strength of it: Bringing it down to a very tangible, understandable level. They may have fought, disagreed and argued, but they were united, they were solid, they never sold each other out, let one another fall or turned their backs on each other. They were deeply loyal to each other because they were Muslims, not because they shared a language, or class, or income tax bracket, or financial stake, or ideological affinity or racial origin. Any other place and they would have been the most likely ummah imaginable.
With Imam Webb bringing that very different time into the lens and language of this time, and it occurred to me that this is manifestly what American masajid do not do and do not teach us to do. They are, too often, chipping away at the solidity that I was afraid, in critiquing them, of chipping away at: They are turning people away or turning people off. This is not the spiritual center of a people united and worried over each other. There is no solidarity, no sense of a safe space, but rather the exercise of power and ego that demands a grand entrance for the brothers and a basement alleyway for the sisters, a concern in shutting women up behind a wall and not bothering to notice if, at the end of the day, any women will be left.
The great poet and thinker 'Allama Iqbal once noted that if education in Europe produced a decline in fertility, til the population would begin to shrink, then what kind of learning must it be that produces a desire not to continue one's own species? And then what kind of Islam is it that doesn't care about continuing itself? The masjid is a place people should want to go, especially when, as we so often do, we feel down or distressed, desperate or anxious, and we are looking for a smiling face, the warm embrace of a brother (or sister) in faith, or a moment of personal solace between our selves and our Mighty and Merciful, Ever-Hearing and Ever-Answering Creator, a pleasure in worship or the calm serenity evoked by the great mosques of the world — where one feels secure. Certainly we don't have those resources, but we have human resources. Too often, prominent Muslims use mosques as platforms of power, of privilege and exclusion, in the way Islam has been abused, as it is many countries, turned to a tool of exclusion, division and control, a governing ideology that seeks through government what only faith can produce and, in so doing, builds so many walls that we will wonder one day where everyone went and why, though we were so insistent we were the world's not-Europe, we ended with empty houses of worship.
If the name of God is recited, and nobody hears it, did it make a difference?

Assalamu Alaykum
That was deep brother. Jazakullah Khair for the article. That was awesome. So poetic and cool.
I'm sorry but more division and disunity is hardly what the Ummah needs now. And widening the "generation gap" (an oxymoron in Islam) by sidestepping the elders in your community is a guranteed failure and an immediate shot in the foot. Youthful exuberance and zeal is certainly commendable but is always in need of guidance from those with experience and wisdom. While your criticisms are valid and not entirely misplaced, your soulution is. Developing programs at "your" (another oxymoron) masjid along with the current members of the community is the only way to develop and EXPAND a community as implied as your intention. Starting up smaller niche communities suitable to various groups with their iwn agendas is harldy progress.
i have felt as who ever wrote this has expressed so many many times. desperately wanting to be muslim, and productive, having no problam at all with islam, but coming up against problams with muslims time and time and time again, it is very frustrating and disheartening. i think we have many problams because as was said, we don't seem to have an islamic comunity anymore. rather we have little tiny comunities and they can be very disparaging and quick to outcast, without bothering to ensure they have hold of the right end of the stick, and that they haven't miss-understood you. it seems nearly everyone in such comunities has no time, and is too busy, and you hear things so often like: "ask me questions if you want, but don't send me essays, for i don't have time," where shall i send my essays then? it isn't my falt if i have many questions, limited knowledge and few answers surely? i was taught something very early on, which is that as long as someone calls themselves muslim, then they are your brother/sister, and you are obbligated to each other for as long as they call themselves a muslim. it has surved me well, but means i feel very sad, for i have been willing to forgive those who have outcast me, yet they are not even willing to talk to me, "ye will not enter paradise til ye love one another." they just convince themselves people like me are not muslim, then they trick themselves in to thinking the above doesn't apply. allah knows best, may he unite us insha-allah.

You've seen the commercial by now. Humphrey Bogart walks into a nightclub ''Hello, Joe, what do you know?'' and a hostess turns around to greet him. Pretty people are dancing, and Jimmy Cagney is drinking at the bar, while across the room Elton John pounds a piano as Louis Armstrong blows his horn.
More than any other commercial, diet Coke's new spot begs the question: How'd they do that? The answer: It took ad, production, and special-effects people 1,700 working hours and the following stages:
Each of the ''icons'' (the captured images of Bogart, Cagney, and Armstrong) was transferred from its original film to D-1 digital videotape in order to ''steady'' the image. Bogart was plucked from All Through the Night (1942), and Armstrong from High Society (1956); Cagney's entrance was taken from Public Enemy (1931) and his interlude at the bar from The Roaring Twenties (1939).
The background scene, with John and crew, was choreographed and lit to accommodate the icons, which were colorized and integrated later.
Some foreground scenes were shot separately against green screens to create an illusion of depth, so that the hostess, for example, appears to be standing in front of Bogart.
Finally, the special-effects editors made a video sandwich. In the scene shown, for example, three different images Bogie, the background, and the waitress were superimposed on one another, frame by frame.
Bogie, Cagney, and Satchmo might have objected to hawking soda, but there's not much they can do about it now: While some stars' estates do control the use of their images, such rights can be purchased, as Coke did for this commercial. As a matter of fact, because of its popularity, we'll probably be seeing other dead stars resurfacing between TV shows perhaps Fred Astaire tripping the light fantastic with Paula Abdul?

- Login to the Student Portal , then click on the library link:
Faculty: Login here, or use Faculty Portal
Step Two:
- Already have a citation? Go to the A to Z of Online Journal Titles, under "Featured Resources" OR "Find Articles."
- Looking for articles on a topic? There are two ways to search:
Each option has advantages and disadvantages:
(A) Find Articles:
In many cases, searching individual databases such as PsycINFO, ERIC or ProQuest Central can provide a better search experience and more relevant results, particularly for in-depth research.
Why? Because there are more search options, tools, and subject specific limiters that enable you to refine your search more effectively than it's possible with the "Library Search" tool.
Not sure which database to search? ProQuest Central is a good place to start as it covers a broad number of subject areas. See "ProQuest Search Tips" for our TOP 5 suggestions on how to save time and get better results using ProQuest databases.
To see a list of recommended databases for your subject, see the following guides:
(B) "Library Search"
The Library Search allows you to search across multiple databases simultaneously, and can be a good place to start, to find e-books, or to find a particular item. However, searching in "Library Search" also tends to be less precise, or results can be too large when searching for items on a topic, compared to using subject specific databases. For helpful tips on how to get the best results with Library Search, see the "Library Search" Guide
If you have any questions, cannot find the resources you need, or would like an in-depth research consultation, please contact the campus librarian, Fay Kallista at 312-777-7651 or e-mail email@example.com
Google Scholar
Do you use Google Scholar?
Now you can set Google Scholar to link to full text articles in the Library:
1) Sign into the Campus Common
2) Go to Google Scholar at http://scholar.google.com to set preferences:
- Select Settings
- Choose Library Links
- Search for Argosy University
- Select Argosy University – Find it at Argosy
- Save
3) Search Google Scholar.
Articles that are available full text in the Online Library have the "Find it at Argosy" link:
4) Click the "Find it at Argosy" link to access the full text article.
If you encounter a login screen, enter the Google Scholar username and password (available in the library if you do not have it)
Keep in mind that there are some advantages and disadvantages to using Google Scholar.
- It can help a beginning researcher identify journal titles and authors connected with subjects of interest.
- It may be useful for finding "gray literature" like conference proceedings.
- It includes many articles that wouldn't get included in other indexing services.
- It can be useful for locating obscure references that are may be difficult to find in conventional databases.
- It can be very helpful in locating more information on partial citations.
- With a Google Scholar search you cannot:
- search by peer review
- sort/search by disciplinary field
- browse by title
- limit search results
- There's no easy way to download or email search results into a bibliographic manager (like RefWorks).
- Although the "Find it at Argosy" feature helps you link to full text articles in the library, it's an imperfect tool. Therefore, you may not necessarily see all the full-text resources available to you through the library.
- The breadth of what Google Scholar is indexing is unclear and consequently it's difficult to judge the comprehensiveness or completeness of the results of a literature search.
- It's not clear how frequently items in Google Scholar are updated.
- Searching in Google Scholar is imprecise when compared with discipline-specific databases.

Hurray for Pandemic movies! We need at least as many as slasher films. Actually, I think we need a lot more, but that's just me. I would like them to be named slightly different so that you can find them on imdb without searching through 4 movies with the same name from the last 2 years.ReplyDelete
Unfortunately for me, I have seen the Pandemic movie for which you have the poster. I remember thinking "Take this, Horror club, you haven't reviewed this one!". Two hours later I was already regretting my achievement.
The 13th alley! LOL is right.ReplyDelete
Thankskilling = amazing. I know that I'm going to see that.ReplyDelete
The 13th Alley, yes LOL is all you can say.
Great post!
The poster for 'Beneath Still Waters' is about the only one that piques my interest :PReplyDelete

Christopher Maurice Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula, on April 21, 2011, before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy, CHRISTOPHER MAURICE, a 34-year-old resident of Auburn, Washington, appeared for sentencing. MAURICE was sentenced to a term of:
Prison: 30 months
Special Assessment: $100
Supervised Release: 5 years
MAURICE was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tara J. Elliott, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On February 21, 2009, a Montana Highway Patrol trooper stopped MAURICE's truck for speeding on Interstate 90 near Bonner. During the stop, the trooper noticed that MAURICE exhibited characteristics consistent with that of a drug trafficker and provided inconsistent statements about his travels.
The trooper asked MAURICE for consent to search the vehicle and MAURICE agreed to allow a search and signed a consent form. User quantities of suspected marijuana and other related paraphernalia were located during an initial search of the cab area of the vehicle. Troopers then began to look in the rear undercarriage of the vehicle where they noticed what appeared to be an after-market metal, fabricated concealment box located above the spare tire. While the troopers were looking in that area, MAURICE verbally withdrew his consent to search.
On that same day, the trooper applied for and received a search warrant to search the vehicle. The trooper found that the metal fabricated trap box located on the rear undercarriage of the vehicle contained a clear plastic shrink-wrapped bag which further contained a clear/yellowish colored crystallized substance of approximately five ounces of suspected methamphetamine.
On February 24, 2009, MAURICE was interviewed and stated that the methamphetamine found in the vehicle belonged to C.W. and that he was to drop it off to C.W. in Billings, after he had obtained the methamphetamine in Utah on February 18th.
MAURICE stated that this most recent trip was the second or third trip he had taken to Utah to bring back "packages" for C.W. MAURICE was paid "$300 each way" by C.W. for making the trips and picked up "three packages" on each trip. MAURICE stated that each package would have been the same as the one seized, estimated to be five ounces.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that MAURICE will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, MAURICE does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Yoenis Cespedes hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning to move Oakland a win closer to the club's first playoff berth in six years, and the Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners 5-2 on Sunday to stay right on the heels of Texas in the AL West race.
Cespedes also hit an RBI triple and Moss had a sacrifice fly in the first inning for the A's, who pulled within 1 1/2 games of Texas. The Rangers were playing Game 2 of a doubleheader at home Sunday night against the Angels.
The two-time reigning AL champion Rangers come to the Coliseum for the final three games starting Monday with the division crown still up for grabs.
Oakland (91-68) leads Los Angeles by 2 1/2 games for the second AL wild card.

Northeastern University Direct Entry Nursing (MS) - Online Option - page 3
Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their experience with the NEU direct entry online MS program. Do you feel that you were adequately prepared for the NCLEX exam with this program? Also, what is... Read More
- 0Mar 24, '13 by Dstewart1017Quote from sj10125Thank you!Congrats, I knew you would get in. Let me knwo when your acceptance letter comes in. How many classes do you need to still take to get in officially, and how are you affording this??
My advisor said probably two weeks till I get the letter, are you in the fall cohort? I am taking the last of my pre reqs now, A&P 2 and nutrition...idk how I'm affording this prob a ton of loans...I just figure if I ever wanna pay off anything and make money I have to invest in this program to do it!
I'm excited and nervous! I'm hoping to start study groups and stuff maybe days where people in the fall cohort can get together and work on stuff together since its all online it would be nice and since there will only be 25 people it would be awesome to get to know everyone really well! And helpful!
Who else is in the fall cohort? We should strt a group or something!
- 0Apr 11, '13 by Dstewart1017Quote from rn2b 2012No clue yet =\ I'm waiting in the acceptance packet then I figured I would figure all that out lol gonna be difficult that's for surewhat's everyone doing for tuition? what loans are you guys taking out?
- 0Apr 12, '13 by hellosunI'm almost at the end of my "lifetime" limit for stafford loans, so I talked to my parents and they're going to sign for the Parent PLUS loans, I'll just be the one paying them after. It definitely is a better option for me than taking out private loans, but there are some good ones out there! Also trying to apply to as many scholarships as possible on fastweb =)
- 2Apr 25, '13 by AlwaysCaneHey guys,
I'm actually currently in this program. Honestly, at the moment it's a bit disorganized as it's a new program. Things change from day to day. You'll go in for an exam at a time and they'll have you take it later or they'll have 40-50 people in one room taking exams right across from one another on the computers. Also, your clinical placement doesn't seem to be related at all to where you live. You could live in Providence and be placed in Concord or live in Boston and be placed in Brockton so be prepared to wake up early and drive on clinical days! Some of the professors are super helpful and others you can hardly get a response from. If you have training or experience in the medical field the program is significantly easier because you probably have a lot more background than the other people in your cohort. For example, EMT or vet techs have more knowledge going in than someone who majored in say.. English. The first semester is pretty tough because you have to get used to the online format and you're taking a *lot* of classes and have clinical but once you get through that it gets better! There are also some really good benefits like that you actually get a BSN degree after you complete the first portion and a lot of places don't do that. This being said, I know quite a few people planning to transfer after that degree because of the disorganization. As far as location of where to live, I would recommend living in a suburb. All your tests will be taken in Burlington and the only time you are required to be on the Northeastern campus is for lab. It's less expensive to live in a suburb, however, if you are not from here and want to live with mostly other people around your age and can afford it then I would recommend living in Boston.
