Even though at times it may feel that the bottom has fallen beneath your feet, the fact is that life does not come to an end when one is diagnosed as being HIV/AIDS positive. For sure, the manner of one's life does change dramatically as one must take the appropriate medications to suppress the illness and use all precautions to ensure that one does not spread the virus to others.
Finding out that you are HIV positive is a harsh psychological blow, and indeed your manner of life has been forever altered, but you must and you have accepted your condition, however reluctantly, and realize that you must go on living your life to its fullness. You also realize that you are fortunate in that you know that you have a chronic condition and with that awareness of self you can therefore take the necessary steps to safeguard yourself and others.
Denial of the HIV/AIDS virus is the worst mindset that a person can entertain because it places the individual and others at risk. Acceptance of the HIV/AIDS virus can produce a sense of hopelessness and despair and can cause one to isolate oneself from personal and intimate contact with others. Denial of the virus must be completely discarded for personal protection and the protection of others. Acceptance must be applied with the appropriate safeguards to promote an acceptable quality of life.
Someplace it is said, "it is not good for man to be alone," and this without question includes "woman" as well. It brings mental and physical soundness into one's life to have a congenial mate to share one's life with. With the appropriate mate, an illness, no matter its type, does not seem so all-encompassing and overwhelming. Loneliness and depression only magnifies a problem far beyond its native state causing, in some cases, a person to feel angry, anti-social, resentful, frustrated, desperate, and abandoned.
A person who is HIV positive must be sober and realistic, which is also a prudent temperament for anyone who has a chronic illness of any type. Therefore it is not sober or realistic to deprive oneself of intimate personal contact with another human being. It is not sober or realistic to go fault-finding in determining by whom and when you contracted the virus, unless you have concrete specifics. Bitterness and anger are thieves that rob a person of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years of life that cannot be replenished or replaced. The doctor and healthcare providers prescribe medication for the body and the touch of another person is the prescribed medication for the spirit and the mind.
Life goes on. The end can come in the blink of an eye as a result of an accident far more quickly and un-expectantly than by HIV/AIDS. Do not feel that your life is over or that you should live your life as a leper isolated from physical and emotional contact with another person(s). This is what the virus is telling you and if you accept this, then that which the virus is telling you becomes true in your mannerisms and outlook on life. She is out there looking for you, wanting you, needing you, just as surely as he is out there looking for you, wanting you, needing you, for friendship, companionship, lovemaking, and togetherness to be the" Hive" (shelter and lodging) of your life and to be the "aid" (helping you to achieve emotional and physical fulfillment) as a whole person.
The purpose of Hiveaids is to bring HIV/AIDS positive people together in the spirit of life, companionship, privacy, wholesomeness,
freedom, and confidentiality, and it is up to you to make the most of it. Become a member of this community and make it blossom and flourish. The Sun will shine and the rain will

Transparent PNGs and Black Borders in IE 8 with Javascript
Internet Explorer is the bane of all Web programmer's existance. Well, IE6 was. IE7 was an improvement, but still not that great. IE8 was a big step forward, and I'm sure IE9 will be even better.
Notwithstanding that we now need 4 sets of conditional style sheets, IE8 still has a major limitation with transparent PNGs.
IE6 simply cannot render the alpha transparency of a PNG-24 image properly. There are some techniques to get around this, and most involve using a 1x1 transparent GIF as an overlay, and using a Microsoft-proprietary "filter" called AlphaImageLoader. The best example I have found is this 24 ways article.
IE6 is on its way out, and IE7 can render the alpha channel, so there's no problem anymore, right? Wrong. If you apply an animation using Javascript and jQuery, such as fadeIn() or fadeOut(), IE creates black space where the opacity exists and refuses to behave. And it's not fixed in IE8. :( Here's an example: I'm working on a project that has light bulbs as graphical elements. The "off" bulb is supposed to appear like so:
|Internet Explorer
My markup was like so:
#lightbulbs .bulb, #lightbulbs .bulb.off { background: url('bulb-off.png') no-repeat 0 0 transparent; float: left; width: 75px; height: 75px; margin-right: -40px; }

1

2

So, how do I fix this?
The fix
I could just use PNG-8. But that's not going to cut it here. The semi-transparent bulb and the glow from the "on" bulb will be lost. And I can't use a solid background here either.
This discussion thread has an overview of the various workarounds. Though there's only one that appears to work the best:
- wrap the element in a container
 and animate the container
- use the Unit PNG Fix
Unit PNG Fix is a script that uses a 1x1 GIF, just like the other IE6 fix, but it should be applied to all versions of IE.
The working code
So, I revised my code like so:
#lightbulbs .bulb, #lightbulbs .bulb.off div { background: url('bulb-off.png') no-repeat 0 0 transparent; float: left; width: 75px; height: 75px; margin-right: -40px; }

1

2

Which applies a height and width to the inner
, and gives that the background image. I then added this conditional comment in the  portion of the page:

Which target's ALL IE, not just IE6. And now I'm rockin'.
I can't use
background-position or
background-repeat on any of these elements, which is a bummer. Luckily I'm not doing that for any alpha transparency. If I needed to position it, though, I'd just added extra whitespace in the graphic file itself. Not pretty, but it works.
Has anyone found a better solution?

Since you will be using
As we all know, Since you will be using javascript for the opacity animation anyway, it is simple to create and insert the new div when the effect is needed and remove it once you are done. This allows the actual device content to still be accessible for users.

It is possible to do an unintentional, unwholesome deed, like stepping on ants you didn't see were there.
But is it possible to think, e.g. an unwholesome thought, without any intention behind it?
And what about speech?
P.S. To clarify the purpose of my question: sometimes I have unwholesome thoughts, and immediately after that I ask myself "Did I really mean to think this?"... So I wonder whether such thoughts are bad kamma.

Here's what other sites are saying:
The Dagger Mamba Creeker 8. 6 Kayak goes from rolling in the high school pool to charging endless drops and roiling eddies along the Middle Fork of the American River or the Zanskar River Gorge. This spry though stable boat swallows your pro-cager frame and keeps you atop the water. Built with the same profile and design elements as its fraternal twin, the Dagger Mamba 8. 6, the Creeker only differs in the outfitting. The change in set-up throws in a bit more structural integrity if you're considering high-risk rapids, all while shaving weight. Linear polyethylene is roto-molded to give you a planing hull with sharp edge transitions and a rockered, peak-deck bow. Learning won't leave lasting scars and hunting rapids will leave you with a huge grin on your face. Room in the rear lets you stow gear if your plans are river-bound for several days. Added volume in the cockpit puts your legs in front of you, making your assertive paddling efficient and effective. Charging hard across vicious chops towards roaring falls is sweet and easy with this Creeker. Both the Creeker Mamba and the Mamba feature Contour Ergo Outfitting, including the reinforced bulkhead footbrace system. However, the Creeker seat and step-out pillar are what distinguishes the Creeker. Due to roto-molded tank style construction, the Creeker seat is stiffer and more durable than the seat found in the Mamba. A step-out pillar makes escaping tight situations easier and adds to the overall stability of the boat if below-water boulders try to crunch your bow.

Dagger Mamba 8.6 Creeker Whitewater Kayak - With team-tested, paddler proven heritage, the Mamba 8.6 whitewater kayak is trusted by the most renowned instructors and pro paddlers in the world. A large boat for large paddlers,the Mamba 8.6 lets you push the envelope and tackle creeks or big water rapids. Volume distribution, rocker breaks and profile have been tested and engineered for more speed and crisper carving. It's easy to edge, very stable, and even a little playful, making it the perfect boat for learning the ropes or pushing it to the next level. Contour Ergo outfitting has plenty of comfort for all-day river cruising, along with forward-thinking safety features. It's the true wonder boat. Whether you're a seasoned paddler looking to hone your river skills and make the move beyond Class III, or new adventure seekers looking for a predictable powerhouse that opens the full range of whitewater, the Dagger Mamba 8.6 Creeker kayak will inspire the ultimate adventure.

Welcome to the board.
Obviously none of us here are qualified to offer a diagnosis. From your description there are a few 'red flags' which on their own may or may not mean he's on the spectrum. I know that in our experience, and probably the experience of a lot of people here, getting a diagnosis was a fairly long, drawn out process that involved several types of evaluation (various types of tests, histories, observations in different settings), done by several different types of professional (ed

Hello Wendy and welcome to the board
You have received some good advice already about following your mommy instinct. I don't think there is a single person here who will say they have ever regretted following their Mommy gut. Most regrets are around not following it (for me, anyway)
I too see some red flags in your description of your son, and I think you are right to want to get to the bottom of it. A regular pediatrician is not qualified to diagnose an Autistic spectrum disorder IMHO. You want a developmental pediatrician or an neuropsychologist to do a full evaluation. I don't know if Insurance covers these evaluations these days. They didn't used to.
I also think there is no harm in applying to the school district for an evaluation as well o. They generally will not diagnose, but they will identify areas of need say speech or fine motor/adaptive skills delays and should design a program to help him. Both my kids had special ed services before they had any official diagnosis and it helped them tremendously.
I hope this helps somewhat. Please feel free to hang here with us as long as you like, ask what questions you need and chime in on any topic.

Well, that dx is a new one on me. Never heard of it, but the medical field is great for coming up with descriptive dxs. Glad you feel that it fits. It can be a pain to get permission from non-custodial parents for testing when all you're trying to do is do what's best for your kid.
I know what you mean about the report having some of the details wrong; I think most of the big reports I have on my kids have at least one or two errors in them. It's what the final outcome of the testing is that matters. If you're happy with your experience overall, that is what counts.
Of course you can still belong here. No one needs a specific dx to belong here. If you feel like this is a place that fits your needs, then join in. We're a pretty relaxed group when it comes to belonging.

Can you imagine all the hands and tiny stitches that went into making a quilt?
The hours could be hundreds and the patience of Job.
Creating the art of a quilt is a time of possible fellowship, or a time of quiet, just you and your project coming to life on the material chosen for the canvas.
Quilting has survived for hundreds of years and many of those quilts may have a story that goes with them.
Here in Lancaster County quilts were hung from the lines a certain way to tell a slave whether it was safe for them to come into the home that was being used for the Underground Railroad.
Quilts provided the warmth when there was no heat or the comfort of knowing a loved one made the quilt and it is now wrapped around you.
Come to the Lancaster Convention Center where your you will be awed by the workmanship and gathering of kind spirited souls.

Statue of Gene Autry from the courtyard of the Autry Museum in Griffith Park.
John Gray, the founding president of the Autry National Center of the American West, has been tapped to lead the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
Gray is credited with transforming the Autry complex into a major cultural center. The Smithsonian's history museum is one of the nation's most popular museums. It has a budget of $34-million is projected to host 5-million visitors this year. Gray starts his new role on July 23, succeeding Brent Glass, who led the museum since 2002.
What's Gray's vision for engaging museum-goers in our history? What does his departure from Los Angeles mean for the Autry?

I used to be really into paintball but since i haven't played much the last few years i've decided to start selling off some of my old stuff.
I'm selling a Tippmann A5 customized by Special Ops Paintball, in this variation it's known as an A5A2 with a dogleg stock. because i bought it straight from Special Ops it has their custom logos on it and black powder coat which is a bit more textured than regular Tippmann factory paint. The stock on this gun is a type only produced by Special Ops Paintball, which stopped producing such products years ago so they are now quite hard to come by. because this stock is an "air through" stock you need to use a remote line for the air supply and cannot mount it on-gun.
Aftermarket parts on the gun are a blade double trigger, a JCS red-hot power tube, Lapco rubber cyclone paddles, and a top mount weaver rail. stock A5 barrel and hopper included, i realize one of the pictures has a Tippmann barrel cover as well but sorry i lost that so it is not included, also there are no tools or manuals included with this.
marker is in good operating condition, shows regular signs of use for a paintball marker with small scratches but no large gouges. the weaver rail mounting screws dug into the powder coat but those are obviously covered by the rail, just wanted to mention that for full disclosure. had no leaks the last time i used it but that was about two years ago, no idea if that's changed since and if it did leaks are pretty easy/cheap to fix.
ASKING $300 negotiable + shipping

Permanent Mission of the Republic of the Philippines to the United Nations
Philippine Statement
Ambassador and Permanent Representative
Permanent Mission of the Republic of the Philippines to the United Nations
Open Meeting on the Situation in Kosovo
Security Council Chamber, 13 April 2004
Mr. President
We thank Undersecretary General Guehenno for briefing us on the situation in Kosovo and for presenting to us the Kosovo Standards Implementation Plan.
The Standards Implementation Plan comes to us a few weeks after Kosovo was convulsed by the worst outbreak of interethnic violence since the international community stepped in to restore the rule of law five years ago. The quarters of the Philippine police contingent were among those razed there together with their belongings.
Kosovo is a conflict area where violence can be reasonably expected to be at its least, considering the presence of what one may call a state-of-the-art conflict resolution and peace building. The power and the prestige of NATO and KFOR, of UNMIK and the UN. and the support of the international community are all there. Its is practically and technically under a UN protection. Sadly, however, these were not sufficient to abort the violence.
We commend, however, the swift response of the Special Representative of the Secretary General to restore the rule of law and note with satisfaction that steps are being taken to prosecute the perpetrators of last month's violence. In this connection we would like to know or verify the reports that Kosovo is emerging as a center of organized crime in the region and possibly a base of operation of the Al-Qaida.
Under the Standards Implementation Plan, we expect the establishment of democratic institutions to move forward. It is important to pursue the holding of elections before the end of the year with the participation of all communities. Political transformation must keep pace with the fight to restore security. It is crucial to have as many stakeholders on board the plan as possible. Also an effective communication strategy to demonstrate to the population the benefit of adhering to the plan is essential.
Toward this end, we continue to believe that the situation in Kosovo is essentially an ethnic dilemma. The Albanians and their supporters will accept nothing less than independence and the Serbs and their supporters firmly want to remain part of Serbia. Thus, the Albanians remain reluctant to support the rights for the Serb minority, and the Serb minority does not recognize the authorities of Kosovo's institutions. UNMIK's challenge is how to bridge this divide, how to build the trust necessary to bridge the gulf between the two communities.
We went through the history of the situation and have come across the Agenda for Coexistence. We are wondering how far the three major actors - Albania, Serbia and Belgrade have cooperated on this.
Also what is UNMIK's assessment on how far the ethnic groups, not only the leaders of Kosovo, have accepted the strategy of "standards before status?" We appreciate the fact that raising the status issue may radicalize all sides but it is difficult to see how it could be avoided.
The people themselves must be able to own the strategy and the Plan so that no one feels ostracized. The challenge for UNMIK and KFOR and the rest of the international community is how to instill enough confidence and trust among the peoples to overcome the vendetta and the fear as a result of violence before, during and after the conflict. In this connection, an effective judicial system is crucial.
In the last briefing to us by Ambassador Holkieri, we endorsed his plan and UNMIK's strategy of developing directly with the people their own political constituency for their reforms and strategy for the political and economic stability of Kosovo. We continue to do so.
Thank you Mr. President.

Some Chinese stamps – cancellation forgeries or something else?
|» Add comment
These days stamps don't get me confused often, but the below Chinese stamps have done that. These are from the same lot as the Japanese Taxe Percue cut squares I wrote few weeks back. The stamps are ok, but the cancellations… I've got a nasty gut feeling I've landed with a pile of cancellation forgeries on common Chinese stamps.
At first I thought these could be some kind of revenue cancellations, but Googling around showed me that Chinese revenue items rarely have any western numbers on cancellations. And not a single revenue item I found had postage due stamp attached; I've got several of them canceled in similar style (see below image for example).
These look a lot like someone used or played around with date stamper. I don't know if these could be some sort of railway or TPO (Traveling Post Office) markings, or from postal savings documents etc. where date stampers might have been used… A common nominator seems to be that all the items are roughly the same era: from late 1940s up to early 1950s. I've got maybe 70-80 stamps all canceled in similar fashion.
Any help and opinions for solving this mystery would be highly appreciated. Are these forgeries, or something else?

Laboring willingly on holiday
On a holiday when most people take a break to relax, a blue cinder block building along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive buzzed with activity Thursday morning as dozens of volunteers spent hours preparing meals for people they most likely don't know and may never meet.
Each Thanksgiving Day for about 20 years, His Laboring Few Ministries has provided and delivered traditional holiday meals for people in need, isolated or not able to travel from their home. At least 100 volunteers spent Thanksgiving Day preparing meals, putting them in cardboard boxes for delivery and then ferrying the food across the region. The 2,500 meals are delivered as far away as Winston-Salem, High Point and Lexington, said Avery Ervin, associate pastor with His Laboring Few.
On Thursday morning, volunteers of all ages, races and backgrounds filled part of the ministry building as they formed a make-shift Thanksgiving meal assembly line. Volunteers in the kitchen supplied turkey and sides to more than a dozen people at a long, wooden table. The volunteers quickly but carefully assembled the food in plastic foam to-go containers.
Other volunteers methodically placed the meals in cardboard boxes either for delivery or for people to pick up at the ministry building. The meal consisted of turkey, gravy, dressing, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, a roll and mashed potatoes or a baked sweet potato.
Ervin, son of His Laboring Few founder Steve Ervin, said the ministry welcomes the chance each Thanksgiving to provide the meals. "To us it's to show the love of God to people," Ervin told The High Point Enterprise. "We want to be there for the community. God has blessed us every year to do this, to help those who need a meal on Thanksgiving."
This year's meal distribution was the first since a frustratingly bizarre accident involving Steve Ervin earlier this year. On July 7 at the ministry's annual fellowship softball game, Ervin was struck severely in the head by a softball hit from a player's bat. The injury caused an extensive case of amnesia for Ervin, who was doing well enough Thursday to greet people at the meal distribution.
Avery Ervin said that the Thanksgiving Day campaign of charity and good works is far from a burden for the volunteers. Indeed, they are grateful to have a chance to participate.
"Everyone who's here is because they want to be, not because they have to be," Ervin said.
email@example.com | 888-3528
Anyone who wants to help defer the cost of the annual Thanksgiving meal distribution by His Laboring Few Ministries in Thomasville can call 475-2455, extension 1. The ministry is at 812 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

This was actually my response to another post, but after a minute I thought it might give some of you a laugh. Sort of a "kids say the darndest things" type deal:)
I spent all year teaching 6th grade. 12 year olds are the masters of inappropriate questions, offensive comments, and unwanted belly touching. Thankfully I've always been very thick skinned and it doesn't bother me. It also makes me impervious to the comments of others. Here are some of my favorite student comments to give you laugh!
#1- Girl comes up to me at about 25 weeks. "You're getting chubbier, especially in the face! My sister is more pregnant than you though...you are going to get SO fat by the time you're done!"
#2- Girl touches my belly. I ask her to stop and she replies "Sorry, it's just the biggest belly I've ever seen and I wanted to know what it felt like!"
#3- At about 35 weeks a boy sees my belly move. "Holy crap! Did the baby just kick? I saw it! That's disgusting."
#4- At about 30 weeks a girl brings me a diagram of a pregnant woman's uterus and internal organs that she had to color in human growth and development class. She says "I don't want to gross you out, but we (read: other students) were talking about it, and do you know this is what you look like on the inside!? Your baby probably looks like an alien right now."
#5- Boy: Your not having your baby until summer break, right?
Me: Yeah, why?
Boy: I just don't want you to have a sub.
Me: Welll that's nice of you.
Boy: And I don't want your water to break in class. I saw it in a movie once. I think that might make me barf.
LOL! Thanks for sharing.
My favorite comment to me came from a 5 year old boy, While grabbing his crotch he informed me that his mommy had a special place right there to get her babies and out asked me if I had a place like that so that my baby could get out!
First of all, TOTAL KUDOS to you for teaching 6th grade. I taught HS and subbed K-12 and middle school is rough! LOL You definitely have to have an insane amount of patience with 6th graders. They really are still little kids in so many ways.
I agree--all of those comments sound pretty innocent. Definitely nothing detention worthy for sure. It may be the first time many of those kids have ever seen a pregnant person on a daily basis. I know, when I was in HS, pregnant teachers were still quite a curiosity.

Question Regarding Menstruation and Contraceptives
The Question:
Assalaamu 'alaikum (peace be upon you) Imam Suhaib,
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala (exalted is He) reward you for your efforts with this blog, and give you the strength to continue to be of benefit to young people like myself who spend way too much time online. I have a question related to your recent post regarding Ramadan rulings for women. What are the rulings related to a woman who is bleeding while on the pill (combined oral contraceptive pill)? Does the bleeding take the status of hayd (menstruation) or istihaadah (non-menstrual bleeding)?
Technically speaking, the pill interferes with and interrupts the menstrual cycle such that the woman no longer goes through the natural menstrual cycle. As such, even though there is a regular pattern of bleeding for seven days, it is not a menstrual period per say but what is referred to as a "withdrawal bleed."That is, there is no shedding of the uterine lining as would normally occur. Most of the online fatwa (legal verdict) I could find regarding this assume that the bleeding is a menstrual period – I am not sure if this assumption has a shar'i justification or if it simply stems from a common misconception about the effect of the pill. Please let me know the majority opinion on this matter. A short post on this issue would also be of great assistance, not only to myself but also to others the since use of the pill is fairly common these days and this issue relates to important matters of worship and intimacy as well.
May Allah (swt) reward you and grant you forgiveness in this blessed month.
The Answer:
Imam al-Dardir says in Sharh al-Saghir regarding the conditions of menstruation that it should "flow on its own (natural process)." In addition he says that "it is yellow or brownish." Thus, if the person is certain that this is not menstrual blood, then this blood is considered istihaada (prolonged non-menstrual bleeding). The presence of menstrual blood is what prohibits certain acts of worship and its absence makes them permissible. Thus, since the certainty is based on the absence of menstrual blood, the sister is allowed to worship with no restrictions.
*In addition: This answer should not be taken as a general one. The questioner clearly stated that the blood flow was not that of menses. Thus, if that is clearly established, then the ruling takes that of istihaadah. However, if one takes the pill and continues to have a menstrual cycle then the above does not apply.
Allah (swt) knows best.

Salaam Alaikum,
I'm a little bit confused by this post. Does this question and anwser imply that any sister on "the Pill" never gets a "normal" menstrual cycle and thus should not stop praying and fasting? It is my understanding there are different types of pills that function in different ways. I have been on the pill for over a year and have always had a normal cycle. The blood that comes is the same as it always was before I started on the pill. The only change is that they are shorter. Please clarify.
Asalamu alaykum,
This answer should not be taken as a general one. The questioner clearly stated that the blood flow was not that of menses. Thus, if that is clearly established, then the ruling takes that of Istihadah. However, if one takes the pill and continues to have a menstrual cycle then the above does not apply.
Assalamo elikuim
Also on the same note, is it permissible to take pill to delay menses so that one can fast without any break ? Sometimes its hard to keep the missed fast later.
Jazak Allah khair
Scholars have said that it is permissible to take medicine to delay menstruation, as long as it does not effect the woman's health.
You can read the following for more information:
If you are in the process of memorizing the whole quran, i memorize half a page a day, is it permissable to continue while on your period if you use a quran which also has the translation in it?
The question states:
"As such, even though there is a regular pattern of bleeding for seven days, it is not a menstrual period per say but what is referred to as a "withdrawal bleed."That is, there is no shedding of the uterine lining as would normally occur"
Has a qualified health expert been consulted on this issue? Because the way it was explained to me is that when starting certain contraceptive types (such as IUDs and progesterone–or in my case a progesterone-containing IUD) the effect of these is to thin out the uterine lining until it is very, very thin. This results in having lighter and less frequent periods. This would mean that the "withdrawal bleed" (I have not heard this term before and I am uncertain as to exactly what it means) when first starting these types of contraceptives IS shedding of the uterine lining.
However, I thought this would be considered immaterial as I always have applied the rules of 10 days maximum for a period, 15 days minimum of ritual cleanliness between periods. Unfortunately this does get confusing when first starting contraceptives that cause you to have prolonged or frequent periods in the first few months. It is not really apparent which "one" of the bleeding episodes is your "period" per se, so by relying on those guidelines you may end up actually praying and fasting during what looks like a "period" but is actually something which becomes prolonged excessive bleeding if you're having a month-long "period" or multiple "periods" due to the medication.
Jazaakumu l-laahu khayran.
Salam alaikum wa rahmatallah –
Br Suhaib please allow me to suggest that the question may have been misunderstood? I don't think she was asking about spotting between periods. As a Nurse Practitioner specializing in women's health, I understood this sister's question to be a general one about whether women in general should consider the artificially-induced "periods" while on the pill to be equivalent to a natural period….
For ANY woman who is taking the pill properly, she does not go through the usual menstrual cycle: she will not release an egg, her uterine lining doesn't develop for possible pregnancy, and she won't bleed or shed that lining UNTIL she stops the artificial hormones.
Thus the bleeding that a woman on the pill has each month happens only because the last 7 pills in each pack are placebo, with no hormones in them.
That's why one could say a pill period is not a "normal" menses in the sense above. Physiologically it is a withdrawal bleeding from the sudden lack of hormones. In fact it is a feature engineered by the pill manufacturer; since women are used to bleeding monthly, they designed their product to mimic women's usual pattern.
A pill period may look similar to menses but is shorter and usually significantly lighter due to the effect of the pills. But it has no regular pattern except according to the usage of the pills: this bleeding would happen every week if she stopped the pills every week. It would happen every year if she stopped them only once a year. It would happen irregularly if she took/stopped them at whim.
So Sh. Suhaib, would you be able to give some more background about the fiqh rulings on menstruation as it relates to the use of artificial hormones? Are pill periods equivalent to natural periods or does it depend on how the pills are used?
Jazakum Allah khairun for your attention to this issue!
Asalamu alaikum,
I do agree that the matter requires a little further analysis along with some medical consultation. However, I would like to explain why I believe the bleeding that occurs while using oral contraceptive medication is essentially the SAME bleeding that occurs with normal menstruation.
1. GnRH hormone stimulates release of FSH and LH
2. FSH stimulates follicle development
3. LH and FSH stimulate follicular release of estrogen
4. Estrogen DEVELOPS THE ENDOMETRIAL LINING (this is the same lining that will slough off later during menses)
5. Estrogen is normally feeding back negatively to GnRH to decrease LH and FSH (this is the balance Allah created in the human body) so that not too much estrogen is produced
6. However, there is a treshold that estrogen reaches where it switches and STIMULATES LH release, this is called the "LH surge."
7. The LH surges and stimulate the follicle to rupture and release the ovum ("egg")
8. The left over follicle is now called the Corpus Luteum. This Corpus is producing progesterone.
9. Progesterone helps STABILIZE the already developed ENDOMETRIAL LINING and increases its vascularity in preparation for implantation.
10. If no implantation occurs (i.e. no pregnancy)* then estrogen and progesterone work synergistically in inhibiting FSH and LH. This decrease in FSH causes a decrease in estrogen and progesterone release by the corpus luteum
11. The estrogen and progesterone now reach such a low level that they can no longer maintain the ENDOMETRIAL LINING and at the time of menstruation the ENDOMETRIAL lining sloughs off which results in the subsequent bleeding.
*if there is implantatation then the newly implanted placenta produces bHCG which takes over the job of the Corpus Luteum in producing Estrogen and Progesterone for maintainance of the endometrium.
Firstly, I'd like to say that there are many types of contraceptives and their mechanisms are slightly different.
There are two main types of Oral Contraceptives in the US
1. Progestin-only (progesterone)
2. Combination (estrogen and progestin)
In regards to the Combination pills (the most commonly used pills)
1. Exogenous estrogen and progestin (the pills) inhibit the bodies natural production of FSH and LH leading to an inhibition of internal production of estrogen and progestin.
2. The descreased level of natural estrogen prevents the body from reach the threshold level of esttrogen needed for the "LH surge" mentioned in #6 above.
3. The lack of an LH surge leads to NO RUPTURE OF THE FOLLICLE AND NO OVUM PRODUCTION.
4. HOWEVER, the exogenous estrogen and progestin STILL work the same on the ENDOMETRIAL LINING and still develop that lining.
5. on the white pill days (the 7 placebo days) there is a cessation of both estrogen and progesterone, so the hormones are no longer maintaining the ENDOMETRIAL LINING and you have menstruation like NORMAL.
In regards to Progestin only medications
1. Since you don't have exogenous estrogen, and you are inhibiting internal estrogenic production you will not have endometrial development. You will stop having menses all together. Particularly with the injection of progestin there is a 50% chance you will have PERMANENT cessation of menstruation.
SO…..Sorry for the long science lesson but the following conclusions can be made:
1. The bleeding you have with combination pills is the SAME bleeding you would have without the pills. And therefore the bleeding you have on those 5-7 days (placebo pill days) would be the same as your period bleeding. I believe that would indicate the same ahkaam of menstruation during those days.
2. Bleeding with progestin-only pills/injection is questionable and requires further analysis.
Dr. Arif Hussain
correction: with progestin-only injections, 50% will have cessation of menstruation by the end of the 1 year. However, if you stop taking the injection you can have a return to normal menstruation.
Salam Alaykum sisters i am actually taking Depo Provera Injection and my body is not good i used to get normal Menstraution but i used to always get unessary bleeding. and im worried if i can pray or enter mosque or read Quran ? please sisters help i want to do write thing but im confused and now i didnt get any Menstraution but my nurse told me its all part of the Depo Provera but i dont what i should do about prayer, Quran and going to Mosque
Is it permissible to go for Follicular scanning when fasting in Ramzaan . Please reply as soon as possible . Thank you .
Jazakallah Khair.
OK I have often heard of people running pill packs together or missing out the placebo ones to avoid a bleed to for example not miss fasing or go on hajj etc… if it's not considered a real period then that wouldn't be necessary? You would be bleeding for 7 days and worshipping as usual…
So if I'm on the pill and I get breakthrough bleeding in between my "periods" does it count as istahadah? The blood is dark but it is just spotting, not very heavy, only need to wear a panty liner. Also can I have sex whilst bleeding in between periods? Sorry for too much info.
I took the 'Morning after Pill' and one of the side effects is Menstrual Changes, which will cause some bleeding, which is want I am suffering from. I am unsure whether I am able to continue during the duration of bleeding or is it regarded as 'impure' bleeding/Period. The bleeding is light but continous. As I am unsure I have been washing thoroughly and refreshing my wudu for each salah.
Can you advise if i am impure and should not be praying or to continue on as normal. I also wanted to perform some voluntary fasts – as my logic is, if i can pray and should be able to fast too???
oops…. "I am unsure whether I am able to continue PRAYING during the duration of bleedingf…."

Moses the puppet puts it all out on 'The Table'
By HEDY WEISS Theater Critic October 22, 2013 9:58PM
Moses the puppet is the star of "The Table," thanks in no small measure to his three expert puppeteers.
'The Table'
Highly recommended
When: Through Oct. 27
Where: Blind Summit at Chicago Shakespseare Theater Upstairs, 600 E. Grand, on Navy Pier
Tickets : $20-$35
Info: (312) 595-5600;
Run time: 1 hour and 10
minutes, with no intermission
Updated: November 24, 2013 6:27AM
No doubt about it: Blind Summit Theatre's "The Table" is one of the more astonishing 70 minutes of theater, puppetry, whimsy, mischief, eye-hand-brain coordination and total brilliance to be exported from London in recent years.
The whole exhilarating, giddy experience, which plays through Oct. 27 in the intimate Upstairs space at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater (part of the invaluable World's Stage series), can be summed up in countless ways.
A billboard might proclaim: See Moses hammer out the stone tablets, lead his people out of the desert and every once in a while break into zero gravity mode, or a moonwalk-style dance worthy of Michael Jackson. Hear this "really old Jew" tell jokes — but more crucially, begin to realize the ultimate joke is on him. Listen in on the puppet's conversation with God. Be reminded of the inevitability of mortality. Learn every trick-of-the-trade you need to know about acting and puppetry technique in one whip-smart lesson. And oh, yes, be astonished and delighted, and laugh out loud.
While the center of attention here is a puppet with an angular cardboard head, the scrawniest cloth legs and arms, and a tiny belly that, when set in motion, suggests the sex urge is still alive and well, Moses is not alone. Three fully visible puppeteers of exceptional wit and physical agility visibly manipulate his every move in a highly choreographed, yet playfully anarchic, at moments wildly improvisatory style that draws loosely on the Japanese bunraku tradition.
In this particular performance, Mark Down is the marvelously droll voice and controlling persona of the show, who fittingly works Moses' head and left hand; Sean Garratt, winningly prone to laughing fits, is the younger, bearded, slightly daft fellow who works the puppet's right hand and rear end; and Irena Stratieva, an impish beauty with dancing eyes and graceful moves, is the percussionist in this crazy band of three-plus-one, moving Moses' little feet (shod in doll-size black shoes), and working in such a hunched position one hopes her contract promises regular massage therapy sessions.
Devised and directed by a Blind Summit team of seven (including Down, who gets the directing credit), it is sometimes difficult to sense just how much of "The Table" changes from performance to performance. On the night I caught the show, a brief segment of audience participation resulted in the loss of Moses' right hand. Maybe it was planned; maybe it was spontaneous. Either way, all the performers, including the puppet, flew with it in this show that is, at its core, a perfect little explosion of existential euphoria.

RedHat Cluster Suite And Conga - Linux Clustering
Submitted by sudhagud (Contact Author) (Forums) on Fri, 2012-01-20 15:13. :: CentOS | High-Availability
RedHat Cluster Suite And Conga - Linux Clustering
This how to describes an easy step by step installation of the RedHat Cluster Suite on three CentOS nodes and prepare them as nodes of a cluster. You will also install the Management suite which is web based and is known as Conga.
You will use three nodes to form the cluster and one node as the cluster management node and as a cluster node it will not take part. All the nodes and the management node should be resolvable either by host file entries or by DNS.
Cluster Nodes:
Cluster Management Node:
As the cluster, its management interface and the service deamons use tcp, for the purpose of this article you can disable the firewalls at these nodes.
OS - All Nodes:
Cluster Nodes - Software Installation:
yum groupinstall "High Availability"
Cluster Management Node - Software Installation:
yum groupinstall "High Availability Management"
Copy this initial sample cluster config file into /etc/cluster/cluster.conf at all the nodes cnode1, cnode2, cnode3.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <cluster config_version="1" name="cl1"> <clusternodes> <clusternode name="cnode1" nodeid="1"/> <clusternode name="cnode2" nodeid="2"/> <clusternode name="cnode3" nodeid="3"/> </clusternodes> </cluster>
This initial file states that the cluster name is cl1 and defines the cluster nodes.
Now some services have to be configured and started at the nodes first and then at the management node as below.
Cluster Nodes:
chkconfig iptables off
Create a password for the ricci service user with
passwd ricci
service iptables stop
Cluster Management Node:
chkconfig iptables off
service iptables stop
luci service is the management service that presents the web based cluster interface via https at port 8084 and can be accessed in any browser at
ricci service is the underlying daemon that helps in cluster configuration sync and file copy, service start, stop etc. and uses tcp port 11111.
cman, rgmanager and modclusterd are the actual cluster services which futher start other services that actually make the clustering happen and keep it live.
Open a browser and enter the conga node url which in tis case is https://centos:8084/
After clicking 'ok' to the initial warning information you will be presented with the login screen. Enter the root user and root password of that system and start the interface.
Now click Add cluster and add the first node cnode1 and the ricci password, click 'ok' and it will detect the other two nodes also, add the ricci passwords and the cluster will be added to the Cluster Management interface. The cluster can be managed and configured from this interface. Care should be taken as the cluster.conf file sometimes does not get synced to all cluster nodes, they will get fenced due to version misconfiguration. At such times copy the cluster.conf file from node1 to all the other nodes. If all the nodes are in sync then the uptime is shown in the cluster nodes list.
Getting a cluster, configuring and managing, your cluster is up, live and configured in no time and later other clusters can be added into this management interface for easy maintenance.

Research Unix
|Unixes by Bell
|Research Unix
Research Unix is a term used to refer to versions of the Unix operating system for DEC PDP-7, PDP-11, VAX and Interdata 7/32 and 8/32 computers, developed in the Bell Labs Computing Science Research Center (frequently referred to as Department 1127).
The term Research Unix first appeared in the Bell System Technical Journal (Vol. 57, No. 6, Pt. 2 Jul/Aug 1978) to distinguish it from other versions internal to Bell Labs (such as PWB/UNIX and MERT) whose code-base had diverged from the primary CSRC version. However, that term was little-used until Version 8 Unix, but has been retroactively applied to earlier versions as well. Prior to V8, the operating system was most commonly called simply UNIX (in caps) or the UNIX Time-Sharing System.
Because both the early versions and the last few were never officially released outside of Bell Labs, and grew rather organically, Research Unix versions are often referred to by the edition of the manual that describes them. So, the first Research Unix would be the First Edition, and the last the Tenth Edition. Another common way of referring to them is Version x (or Vx) Unix, where x is the manual edition.
All modern editions of Unix (excepting implementations from scratch like Coherent, Minix, and Linux, usually referred to as Unix-like) derive from the 7th Edition.
Starting with the 8th Edition, versions of Research Unix had a close relationship to BSD. This began by using 4.1cBSD as the basis for the 8th Edition. In a Usenet post from 2000, Dennis Ritchie described these later versions of Research Unix as being closer to BSD than they were to UNIX System V:[1]
Research Unix 8th Edition started from (I think) BSD 4.1c, but with enormous amounts scooped out and replaced by our own stuff. This continued with 9th and 10th. The ordinary user command-set was, I guess, a bit more BSD-flavored than SysVish, but it was pretty eclectic.
|Manual Edition
|Release date
|1st Edition
|Nov. 3, 1971
|First edition of the Unix manual, based on the version that ran on the PDP-11 at the time. "The system was already well-developed before v1 appeared";[2] it was actually 2 years old at the time and had been ported from the PDP-7 to the PDP-11/20 in 1970.
|2nd Edition
|Jun. 12, 1972
|Total number of installations at the time was 10, "with more expected", according to the preface of the manual.[3]:ii
|3rd Edition
|Feb. 1973
|Introduced the C programming language and pipes; total number of installations was 16. Commands were split between
/bin and
/usr/bin, since the 256 KB hard disk of the development machine was full[2] (
/usr was the mountpoint for a second hard disk).
|4th Edition
|Nov. 1973
|First Unix written in C. It also introduced groups. Number of installations was listed as "above 20". The manual was formatted with troff for the first time. This is the version described in Thompson and Ritchie's CACM paper,[4] the first public exposition of the operating system.[2]
|5th Edition
|Jun. 1974
|Introduced the sticky bit. Targeted the PDP-11/40 and other 11 models with 18 bit addresses. Installations "above 50".
|6th Edition
|May 1975
|First Unix to see widespread distribution outside Bell Labs, as well as the first to be ported to non-PDP hardware. May 1977 saw the release of MINI-UNIX, a "cut down" v6 for the low-end PDP-11/10.
|7th Edition
|Jan. 1979
|The ancestor of all modern UNIX systems and the last release of Research Unix to see widespread external distributions. Merged most of the utilities of PWB/UNIX with an extensively modified kernel with almost 80% more lines of code than V6. In February, a port called 32V was made to DEC's VAX hardware; 32V was the basis for 4BSD.
|8th Edition
|Feb. 1985
|A modified 4.1cBSD for the VAX, with a System V shell and sockets replaced by STREAMS; used internally, and only licensed for educational use.[5] The Blit graphics terminal became the primary user interface.[2] Added a network filesystem that allowed accessing remote computers' files as
/n/hostname/path, and a regular expression library that introduced an API later mimicked by Henry Spencer's reimplementation.[6]
|9th Edition
|Sep. 1986
|Incorporated code from 4.3BSD; used internally. Featured a generalized version of the Streams IPC mechanism introduced in V8. The mount system call was extended to connect a stream to a file, the other end of which could be connected to a (user-level) program. This mechanism was used to implement network connection code in userspace.[7] Other innovations included the text editor, Sam.[2] According to Dennis Ritchie, V9 and V10 were "conceptual": manuals existed, but no OS distributions "in complete and coherent form".[5]
|10th Edition
|Oct. 1989
|Last Research Unix. Although the manual was published outside of AT&T by Saunders College Publishing,[8] there was no full distribution of the system itself.[5] Novelties included graphics typesetting tools designed to work with troff, a C interpreter, animation programs, and several tools later found in Plan 9: the Mk build tool and the rc shell. V10 was also the basis for Douglas McIlroy and James A. Reeds' multilevel-secure operating system IX.[9]
Version 3, Version 4 and Version 5 should not be confused with the UNIX 3.0, UNIX 4.0 and UNIX 5.0 releases by the AT&T UNIX Support Group. After Version 10, Unix development at Bell Labs was stopped in favor of a successor system, Plan 9 from Bell Labs, that shared part of its userland with V10.

text: FIA worried that F1 would be too slow in 2014 19 December, 2012 Dec.19 (GMM) F1's governing body backtracked on aerodynamic changes for the 2014 season because of fears the next generation of cars would be too slow. After the recent World Motor Sport Council meeting in Turkey, the FIA announced that scheduled bodywork rule changes for 2014 to reduce downforce have been replaced by "the 2012 specification". "There was concern that Formula One cars would become too slow," read a report by the authoritative German magazine Auto Motor und Sport. One problem is that the all-new turbo V6 and energy recovery systems will add considerable weight – more than initially expected – to the 2014 single seaters. With the 2014 rules, the FIA is reportedly aiming to slow down the F1 cars by no more than five seconds per lap. Any more than that, the German report claimed, runs the risk that F1 could be genuinely outpaced by Le Mans prototype cars, or the US-based Indycars. Subbed by AJN. Tweet Bassie I honestly think that on the right tracks F1 is allready "genuinly" outpaced by LMP1 cars. F1Fan F1 is about speed and technology, its the pinnacle of motorsport and its where just about any racing driver wants to be…but now with the downsizing of engines and rule changes its become slow. All you have to do is watch a comparison of the cars, especially the Ferrari F2004 and even todays Red Bull. Its taken the thrill out of it, drivers are no longer able to push to the limits of the cars lap after lap thanks to the tyres being so fussy. Its just not what it used to be… Get_Some There are no circuits where current LMP1 cars are faster than current F1 cars. And before one of you boneheads says "Le Mans", ask yourself: how many Grand Prix have been run at Sarthe? And current cars are setting qualifying records over the 2004 and 2005 cars. It's with the help of garbage like DRS and KERS but the laptimes don't lie. All the "cost saving" changes do is force these guys to pile even more money into development of new engine and other tech so they can continue competing. If we'd went to a 3.0 litre V10 formula with the same material and usage restrictions and requirements that the current 2.4 V8's have, the engine builders would have saved tens of millions of dollars from 2006-2009. Bassie I don;t know about le sarthe.. I could be that F1's with the right gearing and setup are faster, and i didnt mean any F1-track, just some tracks in general will maybe give LMP1's a better performance. anyway the laprecord is on Monza is still from Massa (1:21something if im right) and this is from 2004! so allready 8 years on a row cars are getting slower. Laprecords are set during race-trim and not during qualy-trim. Also as you say correctly also they have (this season) full DRS/KERS every lap. I like the DRS and KERS.. they make for exciting races and overtaking. I also dont see why it is garbage..? why? it is a cool feature both have offensive and defensive qualities, and the make that cars can finaly overtake again, because of the "poluuted airflow" behind teh other that caused lack of frontwingDF on the chasing car. Im in tiotal favor of DRS and KERS Nowhereman Totally agree. F1 is being neutered before our eyes. I wish the major F1 teams would stand up and say enough, we will decide how cars are spec'd, not the FIA. If you think F1 is popular now, you haven't seen it yet with regs allowing SOTA technology to produce the "ultimate racing open wheel platform. Now its being reduced to carnival status. You have no faith in the motor sports people of the world. NASCAR is loosing viewers by the tons. McLarenfan Totally agree. The pen pushers should be stopped and the tyres should grip!!!

He'd be "Dr. Hector Hammond, the pathologist son of a senator" who presumably squires the superhero around Paris and convinces him to drop out of school before taking his A-levels. [Heat Vision/HR]
