All of a sudden ports have become a cool business, attracting the attention of Asian billionaires and aggressive equity fund managers.
The runaway boom in the tanker market that has sent freight rates to 30-year highs is making the headlines. But the transformation of the ports sector during the past two decades, which few other industries can match, is arguably a bigger 'story' for world trade.Ports, which have traditionally been run like a government department, are becoming a normal industry thanks to the infusion of private money that promises greater competition, higher productivity and eventually lower costs which will be passed on to importers and exporters.
In the Eighties, Britain's ports were either government-owned or run by local authorities, hugely overmanned and always at the mercy of strike-happy dockworkers. Today, AB Ports, the company which took over nearly 20 state-owned ports, is strong enough to reject out of hand a $1.25 billion takeover bid from Nomura, a Japanese investment bank. Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, the operator of the port of Liverpool, which was dug out of bankruptcy by the government, has just unveiled record second half profits and is scouring Europe for cargo-handling acquisitions. Predators are stalking Powell Duffryn, a ports and engineering group which owns the port of Teeside and has $150 million to spend on a second port, and Edinburgh-based Forth Ports recently spurned a $540 million bid from Duke Street Capital, a private equity investor.
Meanwhile, an international bidding war is in the offing following reports that Manila-based International Container Terminal Services has put its foreign assets, including facilities in Veracruz, Mexico, Buenos Aires and Karachi, on the block.
Mainland Europe is catching up with Britain, as most governments, with the notable exception of the French, loosen their grip on ports which are becoming landlords, leasing facilities to private companies.
Public-owned ports are becoming more commercially-minded too: the Port Authority of Rotterdam, the world's largest port, has just received the green light from City Hall to establish a wholly-owned private company with an operating capital of 15 million guilders ($6.2 million), which will take over the port's 'outside' interests, including a 35 percent stake in European Combined Terminals, Europe's biggest container handler, and shareholdings in rail terminals in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Private investors have also built brand new ports in the Mediterranean to siphon off containers from vessels sailing between Europe and Asia. And the influence of the private sector will grow significantly by the end of the year when the Maltese government privatizes the 1 million TEU-a-year Marsaxlokk transshipment hub, while the Greek government is preparing to sell a slice of Piraeus, the country's leading port, to private investors. The retreat of the government from the business has forced ports still in government hands, like Genoa, to boost their productivity to keep hold of their traffic.
The industry is also becoming less insular as leading companies in rival ports merge. The benchmark was set by least year's merger of Eurokai, the Hamburg stevedore, and BLG, its Bremen-based counterpart, creating Eurogate. The company has a 16.3 percent stake in Lisbon's Liscont container facility and owns Contship Italia.
Port authorities also are linking up. Malmo and Copenhgaen have just cemented the world's first cross-border merger to meet the threat from the recently-opened Oresund road/rail bridge joining Sweden and Denmark. Meanwhile, Amsterdam and Duisburg are planning a joint venture coal terminal in the German inland port.
More consolidation is in the pipeline with Britain and Germany likely to lead the process. Eurokai is eyeing possible acquisitions in Europe after shareholders approved its management's plan to buy back shares, giving it the currency for alliances or takeovers.
To be sure, it's not all plain sailing. ECT was forced to pull out of container terminal ventures in Trieste and Estonia but is still looking at facilities in other European ports. Ceres, the U.S. terminal company, has just lost its management contract of the container terminal at the Ukrainian port of Odessa following differences with the port authority over pricing policy, but is pressing ahead with a project to boost Amsterdam's miniscule container throughput.
The spread of privatization around the world's waterfronts is creating more opportunities for the select group of global port operators to boost their portfolios. And almost unnoticed, some companies are building a sizeable market clout: Hong Kong's Hutchison Port Holdings, for example, controls an estimated 10 percent of world container throughput via interests in key container handlers including a strategic stake in Rotterdam's ECT. Britain's P&O Ports is in sight of its 2 million TEU-a-year target after acquiring New Jersey-based International Terminal Operating Company and Seaport Terminals, Antwerp, and is expected to announce within days it will build a new port complex, including a 1 million TEU-a-year terminal and a distribution hub, on the site of a mothballed liquefied natural gas terminal on the River Thames.
This is putting pressure on rivals like Singapore's PSA Corp., Eurogate and Seattle-based Stevedoring Services of America to respond with the upcoming sale of Malta's Marsaxlokk providing an excellent chance to catch up. Even as they look overseas, the big players have to keep an eye on their increasingly demanding customers. PSA, which has been preoccupied while raising over $ 800 million in two bond issues in the run-up to an initial public offering on the Singapore Stock Exchange, has just learned that Maersk Sealand, the world's biggest container shipping line, is quitting the port for Tanjung Pelepas in neighboring Malaysia.
This shows that running ports is fast becoming just another business.

Urban Beekeeping on the Rooftop of a Seattle Hotelon May 28, 2014 @ 6:15 pm (Updated: 12:44 pm - 5/30/14 )
"A lot of the Fairmonts have apiaries. But a lot of their apiaries are managed by an outside partner. I'm the only chef/beekeeper in our company."
Gavin says the Fairmont was the first place in the city to do rooftop beekeeping and the incentive was purely environmental.
"Doing the right thing. They're very delicate. You know, the Colony Collapse Disorder and just bee health and pollination is so important to people that I kind of feel responsible. I have five hives here now. I've got seven or eight at home."
If you haven't heard, the world is experiencing a colony collapse crisis and, according to Greenpeace, the bees are mostly dying off because of pesticides and habitat loss. Without bees, there's no pollination, and without pollination there can be no fruits, vegetables or grains.
"For every three bites of food you put in your mouth, the bees pollinate one of them. So if you just imagine the bees go away, 33% of your diet is going to go away. We have no way of artificially pollinating. Bees aren't the only pollinators but they're the biggest."
Before setting up hives on the hotel roof, Gavin had never done any beekeeping. Everyday he learns something new, like the fact that he's allergic to bees. He learned the hard way, of course, after his first sting.
"Later on that day I was having lunch and my throat started to swell and then my hand really swelled. I said, I better go up to my doctor. I found out that [I am], as we all are to some extent, allergic to bees."
Since Gavin's allergy doesn't appear to be deadly, he still goes gloveless around the hives.
"I get stung anywhere between zero and three times a week, depending on the year. They get grouchy later on in the summer. They're a little bit more aggressive. It's something that you just get accustomed to."
Despite the stings, Gavin loves bees and beekeeping and he shares a tip for anyone suffering from Spring pollen allergies.
"I was terrible with hay fever. I started working with the bees and eating honey every day. I mean raw honey that hasn't been heated or filtered. I haven't taken any allergy medication for five years now. It totally works. I thought it was a wives' tale but it's not."
At the farmer's market you'll see clover honey and blackberry honey, but with urban bees it's tough to get something so pure. Gavin says the bees travel up to six miles, dipping into all kinds of flowers and plants.
"You can't control where they go. I tried to manipulate the flavor of my honey and you can't because you're in an urban setting, and that's the beauty of it. So five hives right next to each other will have five different flavors. We've had honey that tasted like lemons before. We've had honey that tasted like chocolate."
And you can taste the honey from Gavin's rooftop bees if you dine in the hotel's restaurants.
"I have what's called a Rooftop Honey Bee breakfast. I do a parfait and then I do a honey foam on top of a tangerine juice and then we do a honey and cranberry muffin. For lunch I do an American Wagyu beef burger with honey-pepper bacon. It's awesome. For dinner we have a duck dish we use bourbon and honey on. In Shuckers, our seafood restaurant, we're doing a Copper River salmon skewer that's dipped in honey and then smoked. It's delicious."
But Gavin's favorite way to eat the honey, is fresh out the hive.
"When I'm about to extract, I'll just run my finger across, and it's still warm. It's kind of the fruits of your labor."

It was so romantic. i am on team edward and jacob
This movie is so not for my little sister Melody.Whoa,Edward and Bella already married and that's so happy.I could cry because they married each other.Now Bella is now a vampire and she has now red eyes and she is shiny because of the sun make her shiny.Bella has now kids and they are a vampire too and they are shiny too.
Dull and boring.
Won't watch for, oh, probably a year -- until Part 2 comes out, anyway.
The other movies were...fluff but fun; I wouldn't tell anyone that was watching them, but they were addictive. This one was embarrassing, I cringed in certain parts, I felt like an idiot to have been duped into watching it.
Pretty decent. I enjoyed the conflict. Bit slow here and there but overall picked up in the end. Apparently there are a lot of missing pieces the movie didn't cover, but that happens with most movie adaptions. The ending was intense.
please call when it is available if no answer please leave a message but do not say the tiltle of the movie when leaving message please ty
The Twilight series will always have its fans, but I'm not one of them. Pros: 1. it is refreshing (if disconcerting) to see Kristen Stewart's Bella with a smile on her face for a change. 2. The wedding scenes are very pretty. Cons: Really, what sane woman would choose Edward over Jacob? I had to switch the movie off before it really started. Pretty awful.
i havent watched it yet but i have seen the others and am hoping that its just as good as the others
I do not know another fictional character that i would love more. I talk about him literally everyday and i dream about too sometimes. I absolutely love the movies, but why choose Bella, really not me? His loss. But i still love Edward. TEAM EDAWARD!!!!!

What schools make the list for being pet friendly?
College dorms turned into animal houses
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Millions of college students are heading back to class for the spring semester, but a fraction of those are returning with a furry friend. A handful of schools offer dorms that are pet friendly.
Pets.com ranked the top ten friendly schools:
1. Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri
2. Stetson University, Deland, Florida
3. Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, Pennsylvania
4. Eckerd College, St. Petersburg, Florida
5. State University of New York at Canton, Canton, New York
6. Lehigh University, Lehigh, Pennsylvania
7. California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California
8. Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio
9. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, Illinois
10. Principia College, Elsah, Illinois
If you want to study in sunny Florida with your pet by your side then check out Eckerd College in St. Petersburg. The school allows most dogs and cats along with some caged critters.
"I'm very less stressed with him here; it's great I have a little running buddy we go running every morning we hang out," said student Lauren Thompson. "He's the perfect dorm dog. He doesn't bark. He's content biting on the toy."
The school has about sixty pets living on campus. The fury friends include dogs, cats, rabbits and even birds. School leaders said the pet program helps improve the student experience.
"We are noticing students are being able to behave better and study better, because they have a little animal, a piece of family with them at all time," said Eckerd college spokesperson Tonya Womack.

MORRISSEY: Bears deserve tip of hat for their resilience

Which of the following is most likely to be true Sunday:
1. Given all the buildup to the Kyle Long-Chris Long meeting in St. Louis, some news outlet will have live team coverage from Howie Long's suite at the Edward Jones Dome. Televised sonogram pictures of the Hall of Famer's offspring can't be ruled out.
2. Bears coach Marc Trestman will sit on the locker-room floor during halftime and play Candy Land with his players.
3. The game between the Bears and Rams will be very close.
If you guessed No. 3, you win a prize, though I can't dismiss the possibility of No. 1 happening. And, for all I know, Trestman has a thing for the Gumdrop Mountains.
The Bears have been amazing this season. There, I said it. A-ma-zing. I keep waiting for the roof to fall in on them, and maybe it will with the next two games taking place in domed stadiums. But the Bears haven't collapsed yet, despite a shaky defense and a backup quarterback.
During the weather delay last week against the Ravens, Trestman played catch with receiver Brandon Marshall in the locker room and sat on the floor for a chat with cornerback Tim Jennings. The Bears trailed 10-0 before the delay and ended up winning 23-20. A lot of people saw meaning in the coach's loosey-goosey, unorthodox approach. I saw a lot of meaning in the tight finish.
Besides the team's 6-4 record and share of first place in the NFC North with the Lions, the most remarkable thing about the season has been the Bears' ability to keep scores close. Their games have been settled by an average of 5.9 points, the lowest margin in the NFL. Only one of those games, the Lions' 40-32 victory in Week 4, was more lopsided than the score indicated. By comparison, the Packers' games have been decided by an average of 10.9 points and the Lions' by 7.2 points. If you're looking for how a 10-1 team does it, the Seahawks' games have been decided by a 12.6-point margin.
''We know where we are, we know where we're going,'' Trestman said.
Possibly into overtime.
Close games might not be the best things for your nerves, but they're the mark of a team that doesn't fall apart at the first hint of trouble. That's impressive, given that the Bears are using many second-stringers (and some third-stringers) because of injuries. The whole idea of ''next man up'' makes for a nice battle cry, but starters are starters for a reason: They're better than the backups. If this weren't the case, everybody would be earning the same amount of money. The last I heard, Jay Cutler was making $8.4 million in base salary this season, while his backup, Josh McCown, was making $840,000.
At some point, something has to give with these Bears, doesn't it? The house of cards has to end up looking like a game of 52-card pickup, right? I think we have enough evidence to say that, no, it doesn't. McCown has turned out to be the perfect replacement as Cutler recovers from an ankle injury.
Much of the Bears' success can be attributed to Trestman's game-planning and McCown's ability to learn from his 10 seasons in the NFL. The coach hasn't put his quarterback in many risky situations, and McCown seems almost allergic to making mistakes. It also helps when your targets are Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Martellus Bennett and Matt Forte.
Some of the credit goes to general manager Phil Emery, who has seen some of his ''lesser'' decisions become contributors. Defensive lineman David Bass and nickel back Isaiah Frey, for example.
It also helps that the Bears have faced several struggling quarterbacks. The Giants' Eli Manning wasn't playing well when they faced him in Week 6. Three weeks later, the Bears knocked Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers out of the game and had their way with his replacement, Seneca Wallace. Last week, they faced Joe Flacco, who isn't close to being what he was last season for the Super Bowl champion Ravens.
Now Kellen Clemens starts at quarterback for the Rams in place of Sam Bradford, who is out for
the season.
In case you haven't heard, Bears guard Kyle Long and Rams defensive end Chris Long are brothers, and they will play against each other Sunday, though it's unclear how often they'll meet on the field.
The two are very close, we're told, sort of like a one-point game.

As a rule, honesty is usually the best policy when it comes to your career. Don't lie about your experience, salary or education — you will get caught. Don't pretend you know what you're talking about, because you'll eventually say something that makes you look like a fool. Don't inflate your job title just to sound important — it will make you look worse.
But when you're hunting for a job, you might need to stretch the truth a little bit. At the very least, you'll probably need to get creative when explaining some of your actions. Each job is different, but in most workplaces the boss frowns on employees looking for another job. No one wants to hear, "Hey, I'm running out to interview for a job with a better salary!" at the office.
While we won't tell you to lie to your boss, we do think you should know about these ways to keep your job search private without harming your current gig:
Let your search do double duty
Career counselor and executive coach Roy Cohen advises employed job seekers to take a two-pronged approach to updating their professional profiles on sites such as LinkedIn. "Make sure that you have a fully fleshed-out LinkedIn profile that promotes both you and your company," Cohen says.
Take a similar approach with networking.
"Attend as many conferences as possible," Cohen adds. "They offer you the opportunity to circulate professionally on behalf of your company and yourself."
Plan interviews strategically
"There are just so many dental emergencies and unexpected family health matters that can be used to explain an absence from the office," Cohen says. "For networking meetings, always aim for early morning, lunch or after work. Interviews are another matter entirely. The goal is to either string together all of your meetings or arrange one at a time early or late in the day."
Timing is important. Slipping out of the office for an hour is easier when your boss or gossipy co-worker is relaxing on a beach.
"Find out, to the best of your ability, when your boss and other colleagues will be out of the office, say for business events, conferences or vacation," Cohen says. "Less monitoring means more freedom to escape from the office."
Keep the job search to your personal computer
When you're eager to ditch your current job or you're just bored sitting at your computer, you might think browsing job postings on the clock is acceptable. That's not true. Your employer probably has a policy against job searching on the company dime, so don't risk your job.
"Many work computers are monitored for activity that is not work-related," Cohen says. "[It's] probably better to use a handheld device like an iPhone to do research. Use your cell phone for nonwork-related calls, and if you do not have a private office, find a private place to make calls. One of my clients actually arranged to have a phone interview at his desk, which was in an open cubicle. Not surprising, his call was heard by others, and he was fired not long after."
Perhaps the only exception to the rule is if your company has warned that layoffs are coming and that they will affect a large portion of the company. Cohen says your new priority is to find a new job, so the risk is probably worth it in that scenario.
Dress for the role you have, not the role you want
Most job seekers dress up for a job interview, but not all job seekers work in a formal environment. If you show up in a suit at your startup where jeans and sandals are the norm, people will notice. You might be able to make up a reason for wearing a tie once, but if it's happening every week, you need a new plan.
"It is a challenge for both men and women in a job search. One option is to have a change of clothes so as not to draw attention to the obvious and then to change off-premises in a gym for example," Cohen says. "Once in a while, all of us need to dress up, but that is the exception."
Don't panic
"It is never easy to carve out time for a job search. Acknowledge that fact, and don't beat yourself up for not accomplishing as much as you think you should have," Cohen says. "Also know that even in the best searches, something will inevitably slip through the cracks. Just know that you will make up for the lapse when your life and schedule stabilize."
Don't slack off
Even though getting a new job is your goal, the search shouldn't cost you the job you have. If you're going to slack off, wait until you've already given your two weeks' notice (and even then it's not the wisest way to leave your job). But until you've accepted another offer, don't neglect your current duties.
"Arrive early and/or stay late occasionally at work to fulfill your commitments," Cohen says. "The shortest path to termination is to not finish your work assignments. When you meet your deadlines, you have far more freedom to stretch the rules."

Did much research before purchasing these and it paid off. Fitted much more easily than I expected before heading out for group cycle. I was dry and so was the person behind me which was actually the main reason for the purchase. Didn`t fit the rubber end sections to keep the bulk down but they worked fine without these. Afterwards I whipped them off in seconds and popped the bike back on the turbo. These are great mudguards which is more than can be said for some others in the group who were stopping to make adjustments because of continual snagging and rubbing. I felt quite smug with my new purchase!!
Easy to fit and so far so good, much more robust than the Crudracers I've been using for the last couple of years!
I am really pleased with these. They were a bit of a fiddle to fit, but they keep me and the bike remarkably free water and road dirt. The quick release system is an absolute doddle to manage. You can remove the RaceBlades in a matter of seconds and replace them just as easily.
I would recommend them to anyone.
Service from Merlin Cycles outstanding; received item very quickly.
Delighted with the mudguards. Bought them to go on my new carbon bike and wanted it to look as good as possible. Have used other types in past on other bikes and these are definitely the best. They look sleek, seem lightweight. Done a couple of 60 milers and no problems, no rattling and best of all kept myself and anyone riding behind me dry.
Would definitely recommend!
Been using cruds for a years but they eventually disintegrated from daily commuting. Moved up to these - easy to fit, like the quick release meachanism and feel more like a quaity product - OK so they are a bit heavier but in the grand scheme of things does not matter.
Fitted them in 30 minutes.
These are my second pair of sks Raceblade's, I have donated my old pair to my wife. I wanted more coverage for myself and my fellow club riders, these do just the trick.
Not only more coverage but so much more sturdy and removable if the winter weather suddenly takes a turn for the better.
Solid when fitted properly (which only took 15mins).
Very impressed, these are the only mud guards I would use and recommend to friends, I cannot recommend them enough!!!
Get a pair!!!
Great Job keep me nice and clean and dry now. easy to fit and remove. I would rate them highly
The SKS Raceblades arrived promptly and the quality and finish of the product looks very good .Unfortunately as they were bought as a present for Christmas they have yet to be fitted and tried on the Bike.Other club members have used these guards and praise their ease of fitting over similar products and it was on this recommendation that I purchased the Raceblades.I will write a full reveiw when I get them back off "Santa."
Very well made. Great improvement over the Race Guards I have on my other bike. Better coverage and easier to fit in a hurry. Far superior to the Crud Guards I also have which are just too dam fiddley and always rub on the tyres. 5 stars to SKS.
Good product. Prompt delivery. Great price. Excellent value.
I would certainly look to Merlin for future cycling items.
These guards are very easy to fit and very effective at keeping the worst of the grime off you and your bike. They are however very fiddly to keep in precisely the correct spot as otherwise they rub on your tyre. When setup correctly they are fine. They also require very little clearance between frame and tyre
Easy to fit and do the job well. Suitable for close clearance bikes.
Mudguards are good quality, easy to fit and offer great protection . Merlin service, price and delivery were all fantastic as usual. Thanks
Mudguards for a road bike don't get any better. Easy to fit and very quick to remove. Best that I've seen.
All my mates who have seen these mudguards are converted - a must for the serious rider putting in big miles on UK roads!

Let's face it, Valentine's Day is a consumer ploy, but we take the bait anyway. The National Retail Foundation estimates that in 2006, the average consumer spent $100.89 to commemorate Feb. 14. The U.S. census has found that 15% of women send flowers to themselves on Valentine's Day, and it's even been reported that 3% of pet owners buy valentines for their pets, making the phrase "be mine" a bit redundant.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
I've been thinking about those little stones because I recently saw the movie "Blood Diamond" (I know, I'm a little behind; I hear "Talladega Nights" is good too). This is a gory, quasi-political thriller that suggests (in terms that its target male audience can understand and then choose to ignore) that the relationship between diamonds and romance is rooted not in ancient mating rituals but in Machiavellian marketing techniques. And it's right. Not that Zales would ever admit it, but most diamonds are neither particularly rare nor particularly precious. As for that "two months' salary" rule of thumb? It's not advice from Grandpa. It's ad copy from the 1980s.
But romance and propaganda have long made steamy bedfellows, and besides, the whole notion of bling-crazed bachelorettes is as much a media creation as the aura of the ring itself. Are all women chasing a rock as if it were the last bus out of Fresno? Of course not. Still, in matters of the heart, most of us, regardless of our material aspirations, romantic situations or even genders, have a tendency to sweat the small stuff — like the need for, not to mention the size and shape of, a diamond ring — because the big stuff (even if it's really good stuff) is just too scary.
Along with the existence of God, the meaning of life and "Scooter" Libby's former job description, love is one of those concepts that becomes more confusing and intangible the harder we think about it. That's doubly true of romantic love, which is built around the illogical premise that infatuation can be shoehorned into a permanent state of being. It's no surprise, then, that we channel our romantic passions not only into the object of our love but the objects that represent love.
Diamonds, of course, are the flagship of this franchise. More than just a girl's best friend, they're trinkets that a girl's other friends can compare and analyze to the point where the trinket's procurer is all but irrelevant. That's been especially true in the last 20 years or so — as feminism softened its stance, the economy boomed and a flashy diamond became less a symbol of patriarchy than a sign of class status. There are even "right-hand" diamond rings now, such as the "Ah ring," for single women. ("Ah" stands for "available" and "happy," but I suspect "affluent" and "hyper-competitive" would work too.)
But whether we're longing for an engagement ring, an Ah ring or an end to this lunatic ring cycle altogether, it's almost inevitable that the blustery sales weeks leading up to Valentine's Day intensify our fixation on the accouterments of love rather than on love itself.
Sure, we're intellectually capable of seeing the flowers, the candy and even the diamond for what they are — expressions of the inexpressible. We know this is an assembly-line holiday. But we've also been conditioned to see it as a day of romantic reckoning, an occasion to take stock of our own lovableness. And that's a big responsibility for a holiday when the banks don't even close.
Excited yet? I know I am (and so is my pet). As for the shiny gems, just remember this: A diamond may be the gift of a lifetime, but Mylar balloons are non-biodegradable. What says "forever" better than that?

A Question on Prayer and the Principle of "Shepherding Differences" in the Maliki School
The Question
"It is the dominant opinion in the Maliki madhhab that it is disliked to recite the Fatiha in the prayer by reciting the Basmalah [saying "With the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Merciful." As the school teaches us, after the opening takbir, to read Sura al-Fatiha immediately.
Are you aware of any minor opinions within the Maliki school that state it is not disliked , or even that it is recommended or obligatory to do so? If so, where are those opinions sourced?"
The Answer
Asalamu alaykum,
In Fawakih al-Dawani, an important explanation on the Risalah of Abi Zaid, the author states, under the chapter on the disliked aspects of prayer: "saying I seek refuge in Allah from cursed devil and with the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Merciful after the opening takbir, are from the disliked acts according to the Maliki School."
However, he notes two exceptions:
- If one is making taqlid of a scholar who holds it to be an obligation, then it is an obligation upon that person to follow the scholar's opinion.
- If one is doing so with the intention of "Mura'at al-Khilaf" (shepherding differences) then the disliked nature of the act is raised to that of recommend.
Both of these points are conditioned that one does not do so thinking that it's reading is obligatory, but their intention is conditioned to one of the two points above only.
This was alluded to by Shaikh al-Dardir, or Imam al-Sawi, in al-Sharh al-Kabir, but with greater brevity. I searched al-Dasuqi's Hashiyah on the Matn of Khalil and found nothing there.
Allah knows best

studying predominantly Hanafi Fiqh, i feel jelous of the maliki principle of sheperding differences!
Assalamo alaikom,
What does Shepherding differences actually mean?
Also does the taqleed here refer to straight of taqleed in the standard dense of scholarly imitation, or is it just referring to following of the imam of the salah that you are praying?
I live in Morocco, a country where the Maliki madhab is the only madhab observed in all aspects of people's religious life, and I once heard of the disliked basmalah issue, and therefore am still following that "fatwa" which I only heard in a mosque or somewhere. Now, when I hear imams leading prayers in mosques I notice that each imam does what he thinks is the right thing as to the basmala opening. In the same mosque here you can hear different imams doing different things in this regard.
Fiqh and "Mura'at al-Khilaf" apart, I see things in the light of the following verse:
"There shall be no sin ( imputed ) unto those who believe and do good works for what they may have eaten ( in the past ) . So be mindful of your duty ( to Allah ) , and do good works ; and again : be mindful of your duty , and believe ; and once again : be mindful of your duty , and do right . Allah loveth the good ." (Al-Maidah : 93)
However, there are some who bring forth a counter-argument, such as the following interpretation (in Arabic):
But I would still stick to my feeling above (Al-Maidah : 93) when I read:
"As for those who strive in Us , We surely guide them to Our paths , and lo! Allah is with the good . " (Al-Ankabut : 69)
"While as for those who walk aright , He addeth to their guidance , and giveth them their protection ( against evil ) ." (Muhammad : 17)
Then, don't forget that God does not need our worshipping Him, but
"If ye are thankless , yet Allah is Independent of you , though He is not pleased with thanklessness for His bondmen ; and if ye are thankful He is pleased therewith for you . No laden soul will bear another ' s load . Then unto your Lord is your return ; and He will tell you what ye used to do . Lo! He knoweth what is in the breasts ( of men ) . " (Az-Zumar : 7)
Consider this verse:
"And the angels called to him as he stood praying in the sanctuary : Allah giveth thee glad tidings of ( a son whose name is ) John , ( who cometh ) to confirm a word from Allah , lordly , chaste , a Prophet of the righteous . " (Al-i'Imran : 39)
If Allah needed our worshipping Him, why didn't the angels wait until Zakariya finished his prayer?
"Then praise be to Allah , Lord of the heavens and Lords of the earth , the Lord of the Worlds . And unto Him ( alone ) belongeth majesty in the heavens and the earth , and He is the Mighty , the Wise ."
Jazak Allah khayr for this post.
I think it went right over my head because I found it confusing.
Is the issue as to whether we say 'In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful' out loud before we say Surat Al-Fatiha?
If you look at some Mushafs- 'In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful' is actually the first verse of Surat Al-Fatiha, suggesting that it should be said out loud- I always feel more comfortable to say it out loud as I have always thought that it is part of Surat Al-Fatiha itself. Is this an incorrect understanding? Where is the proof that it is not part of the surah?
Surat Al-Fatiha should be 7 verses long, and as far as I have seen some mushafs inlcude it as verse 1, and some split the last verse in to 2 verses and so do not include it in the surah
Please could you clarify whay there is this difference in the masahif and whether 'In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful' is the first ayah of Surat Al-Fatiha or not?
Jazak Allah khayr

Bubba regained some of the ground he lost last weekend, but rode stiff.
A dedicated crowd of 53,342 fans withstood the rain inside Qualcomm Stadium on Saturday night as the 2011 Monster Energy AMA Supercross hosted its final race in Southern California this season. In his debut season piloting his own TwoTwo Motorsports team, Chad Reed, captured his sixth-career San Diego Supercross win. Geico Honda's Eli Tomac captured his first career 250 West Supercross victory.
Justin Brayton was tenth in San Diego and is ninth in 450 points.
It was Reed who crossed the holeshot stripe first to kick off the 20-lap Supercross main event with American Honda's Trey Canard and Red Bull KTM's Andrew Short, in tow. Canard quickly made his move for the top spot and held it for the first five laps before falling and stalling his bike. Reed assumed the lead and held it for the remainder of the main event.
"This is incredible," said Reed. "I?ve put so much work into this team to make it the best it can be. To win with your name on your chest makes everything so much better. This one is emotional. I just followed Trey because he was showing me some lines. When he went down, it became just about putting together 20 clean laps."
Andrew Short finally got a good start in the 450 main, but finished where he normally finishes. Photo: Hoppenworld
Canard remounted in third, allowing San Manuel Yamaha's James Stewart to take over second. However, on Lap 15, Stewart stalled his bike, falling to fourth. While running second, Canard suffered his second fall of the evening, allowing Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey to secure second with Stewart in third. They would complete the podium in that order.
Championship leader Ryan Villopoto crashed on the opening lap, but fought through the field to secure a seventh-place effort aboard his Monster Energy Kawasaki. He now holds a three-point advantage over Stewart in the points.
Davi Millsaps was fifth and seems to be getting in the groove.
"I just stalled it," said Stewart. "I'm trying my best. I don't want to just throw it away like that, but I'm glad to get on the podium. I had nothing for Chad tonight, he was riding great, but I made up a lot of points."
Ken Roczen finally got to the top step of the podium. It was only a heat race win, but still a win. Photo: Hoppenworld
As the gates dropped on the 250 West main event, Eli Tomac grabbed the holeshot and never looked back, leading wire-to-wire with a convincing win.
"The first five laps I just put my head down and pulled away. It was kind of crazy," said Tomac, who won by over 10 seconds. "The track was really tricky and slippery. I got a little nervous out (front), but overall it was really good. I've learned a lot this season and I've gotten a lot better in recent weeks."
Behind him, a stellar battle ensued for the remaining podium positions among the Pro Circui trio of Josh Hansen, Tyla Rattray and Broc Tickle, as well as Geico Honda's Jimmy Decotis and Troy Lee Designs Cole Seely . As the group of five riders traded positions, it was Rattray and Tickle who prevailed to round out the top three.
Hansen, the class points leader, fell to sixth, still on the mend from a hand injury suffered at the previous round. As Hansen dropped back, waiting to have a plate installed in his wrist this week, he was passed by his main competitors, but when Kyle Cunningham passed Josh, Kyle whipped his bike sideways in Josh's direction over a jump. Josh thought that Cunningham's move was unnecessary, so two corners later he submarined Cunningham in a banked turn. Kyle ended up tenth and, for all practical purposes, he is eliminated from the 250 West title chase.
Hansen's advantage over teammate Broc Tickle dwindled to three points as the 250 West Championship. The West takes a midseason break until April 16 in Seattle.
Ryan Dungey (1), Trey Canard and Chad Reed are sneaking up on Bubba and Villopoto in the points chase.

Over at SeaWorld San Diego, staffers used sex selection techniques to keep an optimal balance between male and female Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and brought about the birth of a brand new female calf. Three California sea lions at the Belfast Zoo became mothers after nearly a year-long gestation period. As part of a European breeding program, the Belfast Zoo has seen the birth of 10 sea lions in the last four years. Ah, breeding programs are my favorite -- where science and cuteness meet.

Hi everyone.
I proceeded as suggested, "create a co domain". As usual I pointed my domain to my server where I expect to resolve the name. But until now, when the domain is used in internet, it goes to the shared Ip html page. This make me think that my dns configuration needs something else.
Would you help with this ?. something to have in mind is that I´m using a DMZ to reach the server.
I already used dig to confrontate the results of this co domain with another well-working domain. Evertything seems to be good.

Texas police have told gathered press that 33-year-old Otty Sanchez ate her son's brains after decapitating him.
The Telegraph has reported that Sanchez used a kitchen knife and two swords to murder, decapitate and dismember three week old Scott Wesley Buckholtz-Sanchez. The Associated Press confirm that the police removed a kitchen knife, sword and a machete from the property, and states that Sanchez tore off the baby's face and gnawed off three of the infant's toes.
Following the attack Sanchez stabbed herself in the abdomen and slashed her own throat, when officers arrived at the crime scene she screamed "I killed my baby. I want to die".
The child's father, Scott W. Buchholtz has called for the death penalty. Buchholtz split from Sanchez a week before the murder, he told the New York Daily News that Sanchez had been suffering from postpartum depression and had been hearing voices. He had asked her to seek counselling.

Why Choose Carpet for Your Home?
With its many styles, textures and types of construction, carpet is the right choice for everyone, from first-time homeowners, to retirees, to families with kids and pets. Plus, carpet will maintain its beauty and durability for many years when it is properly chosen, installed and cleaned. Carpet actually improves indoor air quality.
Types of carpet
Understanding a few simple basics about carpet will help you make the right choices for your lifestyle and budget.
Cut pile: Still one of today's most popular constructions, cut pile achieves its durability through the type of fiber used, density of tufts and the amount of twist in the yarn. Highly twisted yarn will hold its shape longer, making it a smart choice for high-traffic areas.
Textured Plush — Most decoratively versatile. Textured surfaces help hide footprints and vacuum marks. Add causal beauty to any room. Preferred style for busy households. A great "whole-house" carpet.
Saxony — Refined surface. Works well with traditional interiors. Ideal for living and dining rooms.
Friezé — Forms a "curly" textured surface because yarns are extremely twisted. Has an informal look. Helps minimize footprints and vacuum marks.
Plush (Velvet) — Has a dense luxurious feel. Shows footprints and vacuum marks easily. Best for low traffic areas and formal rooms.
Carpet - Installation
Only Messner pre inspects all of our carpet in our warehouse. It has to meet our standards long before it gets to your home! After you choose your Messner flooring, our assessors make a scheduled visit to your home for a free in home assessment. This assures you that on installation day, everything goes smoothly and there are no surprises. But remember, no matter how much or how little you pay for your carpet, if it is not installed properly--it will not look good. Let our certified, factory approved installers custom install your new carpet so you will adore your floor for years!

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Really liked this centerpiece
March 19, 2010
I ordered the Heart Candle Centerpieces to put on each table at my daughter's bridal shower. I used them as prizes for one of the games. Everyone really like them and really wanted to win the game. They were a nice quality and really pretty. My daughter had hearts on her wedding invitation, so they fit in perfectly. I was really happy with them and would order them again should the need arise.
Pros:Good Value, Fits Theme, Functional
Best Uses:Theme Weddings, Gift, Destination Weddings, Bridal Shower, Sentimental Keepsake

Send My Name to Pluto August 30, 2005Posted by JalanSutera.com™ in Blog.
According to Slasdot.org NASA is preparing to send the New Horizons probe to Pluto. It will be the first earth device to get intimate with the icy planet. And you can be there too – or, at least, your name. NASA is asking everyone to send them their names, which will be attached in the space device. The New Horizons probe will be launched in January 2006 to explore Pluto and the Kuiper belt, in the outskirts of the Solar System. It is expected that the probe will return to earth in approximately 50 thousand years."
The result is:
Shedding Light on Frontier Worlds

Thank you for joining the first mission to the last planet! A compact disc bearing your name will be included on the New Horizons spacecraft, set for the first voyage to a new class of planets on the solar system's farthest frontier.
Come with us as we complete the reconnaissance of the solar system and unlock the secrets of Pluto, its moon, Charon, and the Kuiper Belt.
Certificate No. 266342
- 1. Eric - August 30, 2005
That is awesome although I don't know why we should send our name to Pluto if it's to return later. It would be cool if they leave our name on the planet surface. Who know if there are some intelligent lifeforms out there, then they'll get to know you. At least your name :D Do you leave your address or e-mail?
- 2. kirsty rebekah jade wallace - November 20, 2005
hia thankyou for sending my name to pluto it means alot to me even though i am only 13 years old (at this moment at least !!!!!!!!!!! ) i am glad that this idea has been invented as it gives people something to look forward to !!!!!!!! THANKYOU !!!

Banner one of Top 25 Connected Hospitals
Health Imaging and IT magazine has recognized nonprofit Banner Health as one of the Top 25 Connected facilities in the country for the second year in a row.
The industry magazine cited Banner Health for its streamlined image transfer process for trauma patients who are referred from rural hospitals. The process relies on a cloud-based image transfer system and allows physicians at both the rural facility and Phoenix-based hospital Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center to view and share images.
Since launching the system, transfer patients have not had to be rescanned and trauma surgeons have had shorter image-discovery times.
Last year, Banner Health was recognized for its systemwide implementation of electronic medical records and computerized provider-order entry systems and advances in radiology.
Banner Health has invested heavily into its Care Transformation strategy, which is distinguished by an enhanced suite of electronic medical records, computerized provider order entry and patient identification. By the end of this summer, all Banner hospitals will have electronic medical record systems in place.
In ranking facilities, magazine editors looked at how well the facility has integrated electronic medical records, its use of health information exchanges and the number of physicians and referring physicians with remote access to clinical images and patient data. They also looked at the number and breadth of clinical IT systems deployed.
