Al-Istiqaamah, Issue No.7 ,July 1997
Allaah – the Most High – said:
"And those who were given the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) did not split-up except out of baghee (hatred and envy) between each other, after the knowledge had come to them." [Soorah Aal-'lmraan 3:19].
Imaam as-Sa'dee (d.1376H)- rahimahullaah – said:
"This is why Allaah – the Most High – ordered the Muslims with ijtimaa' (collectiveness) in their Religion, and prohibited them from tafarruq (splitting-up). He informed them that they must not reject what Allaah revealed to them from the Book. Indeed the People of the Book (i.e. the jews and the Christians) did not split-up until after Allaah had revealed to them the Scripture, in which He ordered them with ijtimaa' (being unified). However, they did the opposite to what He ordered them with, due to mutual jealousy and hatred. So hatred and jealousy culminated in them having grudges and enmity between one another, they then fell into differing and splitting up. So – O Muslims – beware of doing the likes of this."1
Ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H) – rahimahullaah – said:
Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim (d.751H) – rahimahullaah – said:
"It is upon the one who speaks in this matter, or any other matter, that he should only do so based upon knowledge and the truth; and that his objective should be sincerity to Allaah, to His Book, to His Messenger; and the giving of sincere advice to his Muslim brothers. But if he makes the truth accord with his own whims and desires, then this will corrupt and ruin the heart, the actions, and the state of affairs. Allaah – the Most High – said: "And if the truth were to be in accordance with their desires, then indeed the heavens and the earth – and all that is therein – would be corrupted and ruined." [Soorah al-Mu'minoon 23:71]. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "None of you truly believe until he makes his desires accord with what I have been sent with."3 So 'ilm (knowledge) and 'adl (justice) are the root of every good, whereas dhulm (oppression) and jahl (ignorance) are the root of every evil. And Allaah – the Most High – sent His Messenger with the Guidance and the Religion of Truth, and He commanded the doing of justice between people and that none of them should follow their whims and desires. Allaah the Most High – said: "So call to Islaam and stand firm, and do not follow their whims and desires, but say: I believe in whatever has been revealed by Allaah from the Book, and I have been commanded to do justice between you. Allaah is our Lord and your Lord, for us our deeds and for you your deeds. There is no dispute between us and you. Allaah will assemble us all, and to Him is the final return." [Soorah ash-Shooraa 42:15]."4

It is all about the pull and less about the push when it comes to delivering an effective and valuable message to physicians without comprising compliance. And the panelists and speakers attending the Center for Business Intelligence's Premier Opinion Leader Management Systems conference in King of Prussia, PA, couldn't agree more.
Over the next five years, if not much sooner, the evolution of sales, marketing, and medical affairs will dramatically shift. Speaking from a global prospective, Andreas Tsukada, associate director, sales operations, at UCB Pharma, said that a lot more coordination will be necessary. He noted that if leveraging KOL via the Internet works abroad, it might also be extended to the US as well.
Michael Schaffer, senior district manager, virology, at Abbott, believes that there will be fewer, more important KOLs (especially in the specialty marketplace) and less funding. As a result, pharma will be forced to do more with less, engaging MSLs instead of sales reps. However, it will be important to determine necessary roles for each organization, and go with that strategy. "The key is communication internally within an organization,†said Deb Kientop, president of MSL360.
Meanwhile, Dale Hagemeyer, research vice president of Gartner, cautioned that risks still apply with MSLs. "If it walks like a duck, it talks like a duck†was the analogy he used to describe the comparison of sales rep vs. MSL. In order to separate the two, organizations need to understand what is and what is not permissible in terms of on- and off-label discussions. Until then, credibility and value will continue to be the driving forces behind sales.
Last but certainly not least, pharma will need to keep abreast of the MSL's changing role. Sivakumar Nadarajah, director of global CRM solutions at Cegedim Dendrite, points out the various roles of a MSL. He or she spends most of the time managing KOL relationships, performing research on KOLs, responding to medical inquiries, providing the commercial side of the company with knowledge, and collaborating internally (see above) with sales teams.
"All these activities are done either manually or using multiple applications,†says Nadarajah. "Providing a unified software platform so that all these activities can be tracked and co-coordinated in a reportable manner will not only help MSLs become efficient, but also help them provide management visibility into their activities.â€

Eastman Kodak Co. has filed suit against Sony Corp., alleging that the Japanese electronics maker infringed on its patents on digital camera technologies.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court, claims Sony violated 10 patents issued by Kodak from 1987 to 2003. The patents involved digital and video technologies, including image compression and digital storage.
Kodak seeks unspecified damages and an injunction against further infringement. The suit was filed against Tokyo-based Sony, Sony Corp. of America, and Sony Electronics Inc.
"Kodak took this action to ensure our ability to continue to innovate in digital markets, to protect the intellectual property that results from these efforts and to support the companies that choose to license Kodak patents," Gerard Meuchner said, Kodak spokesman said.
Sony Electronics Inc. released a statement, saying, "Sony has not violated any Kodak patent relating to digital imaging and will vigorously defend any allegations made in this regard."
Last year, digital cameras outsold traditional film cameras for the first time in the U.S., according to IDC, a market research firm in Framingham, MA, U.S. Sony ranked first in sales with a 22 percent market share.
Kodak, which ranked second with an 18 percent share, recently introduced six new digital camera models in an effort to top Sony as the leader of the digital-camera market. (AP)

Doing Less Harm Or Doing More Good?
Herbivore Clothing Company used to sell a shirt that said "Vegan means I'm trying to suck less."
The idea is that being vegan is about doing less harm. It's about doing less harm to animals by not eating or wearing them, causing less suffering and death. It's about doing less harm to the environment by eating lower on "the food chain," reducing our ecological footprint. It's about doing less harm to human health by improving both individual health shifting a diet toward fruits and vegetables and also public health by discouraging overuse of antibiotics, overuse of chemical pesticides and production of hazardous waste that pollutes air and water.
Herbivore Clothing also sells clothing for children and babies. That is what this article is about: Veganism and Family Planning.
This article is the first in a series on the topic. I plan to cover three main areas: living child-free, procreation, and adoption. This first article is about choosing to live child-free. Before I go any further, I must admit my bias. I am an adoptive mother.
This series will address some of the ethical issues surrounding these topics but it will not cover many of the ethical issues surrounding family planning. For example, concerning adoption I could write about domestic or international, private or state, open or closed, race-matching or transracial, infant or older child, the Hague Convention, family law and contract law, sibling and grandparent issues, adult adoptees rights to citizenship and birth records, attachment theory, the financial aspects of adoption and who profits, state regulation or lack thereof, children orphaned by deportation, and more. I could go on.
Likewise, I will not delve into many of the ethical issues of creating or not creating a biological child, such as genetic counseling, fertility treatments, embryo adoption, surrogacy, abortion, maternal healthcare, and more. There are too many ethical issues surrounding family planning to tackle all of them here.
This is a vegan blog. So let's consider the vegan principle of 'doing less harm' when it comes to family planning. This is the basis on which many child-free people in the vegan community have made their family planning decisions. They argue that procreating puts undue strain on the environment, consuming resources and harming animals. Thus, it conflicts with a 'do less harm'paradigm. Vegan writer Piper Hoffman explains:
"To house and feed ourselves, we flatten, burn, flood, or dry out the habitats of countless species who, bereft of homes and food, disappear. Our sheer numbers are killing non-human animals. Making more of us makes this problem bigger."
Should vegans have children then? If we agree with Ms. Hoffman then no, we shouldn't. Her argument certainly has appeal. Refraining from reproducing would prevent any harm a future child might cause to the environment or to other sentient beings, human and non-human.
But stop and think about it for a second. This approach to problems – to do less harm – can easily be taken to absurdity: the most certain way to do the least harm is suicide. Few would argue that we should all kill ourselves, but the logical absurdity highlights the issue with following the 'do less harm' principle. There is nothing productive about 'doing less harm.' A 'do less harm' perspective will never solve the problems of the world, it merely reduces the potential for damage. It's not productive (and predictably, it's not reproductive either).
Think of all the corn and soy that is grown just to be fed to animals to be slaughtered. If we eat fewer animals, then there is more corn and soy to feed to hungry humans. If food becomes more affordable and available to humans, haven't we used our veganism not just to do less harm, but also to do more good? These two ways of thinking about veganism are often (but not always) compatible.
If we accept the theory that human population growth poses significant danger to animals, the environment, and future humans (which is debatable) then perhaps it's time to take a more productive approach. Instead of guilt-tripping individual people who want to have biological children, why not advocate for social reforms that naturally tend to reduce human population. These social reforms would be good all by themselves, and their effect on slowing population growth would be a proven side-benefit.
What reforms are these?
- Education for everyone, particularly for girls and women
- Access to free or low cost birth control
- Community/ political support for women to make their own life decisions, particularly reproductive decisions.
Ms. Hoffman demanded that people who want to become parents perform "deep introspection" before heading down the parenting path but she herself failed to investigate the issues. (See my list of ethical issues surrounding family planning above for fodder for your own "deep introspection.") Ms. Hoffman offered adoption (all adoption) as an alternative to reproducing biologically as though the experience of becoming a parent through adoption is perfectly equivalent to the experience of becoming a parent biologically. In her mind it seems you can just go down to the baby pound, take a few prospective babies for a test crawl, fall in love with one, pay the adoption fee, and voila, insta-family.
Ms Hoffman conveniently ignores the significant differences. The biological experiences of pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding an adoptive mother may never know. The adoptive experience of having a birthmother, adoption worker, judge, or even the child themselves choose you to parent. The community reactions to either option… to name a few differences.
Perhaps the time of advocates of a child-free lifestyle is better spent providing practical aid to women who don't want to become mothers rather than demanding that people who do want to become parents adopt.
And if child-free advocates are going to promote adoption, then they would be well-served to educate themselves about the issues involved in the family planning route they're advocating. A more productive approach would be to learn about adoption options and provide actual positive support to birthmothers, prospective adoptive parents, and adoptive families. Don't just toss out the word "adoption" and make assumptions about all adoptions without doing any real research. It's incredibly insulting to those of us who have dealt with the complexities of adoption first-hand.
Some people who choose to live child-free are simply using these rationales in order to shift the responsibility of children – all children, all the time – over to people who are parents. This subsegment of antinatalists usually don't like children, want nothing to do with children, and often segregate themselves from families with children. For example, Ms. Hoffman said that she "hated babysitting when she was in high school, [...] loves her career, and finds she prefers spending time with other adults." But instead of treating her decision to be child-free as a personal one, she has written an article about how it's THE RIGHT WAY.
This anti-child thinking sometimes also becomes a rationalization for child-free people to take no responsibility toward the young among us.
But don't we all have a responsibility to one another in order to maintain a just, fair, equitable society? Doesn't the group of humans who literally have the least rights – children – deserve protection from all of us, not just those of us who want children of our "own"?
If we are to do more good, wouldn't it behoove all of us to work with children so that they grow up to be more responsible Earthly inhabitants than many of our generation have been? Here we merge the concept of 'doing less harm' with the concept of 'doing more good.' The choice to refrain from reproducing shouldn't end with a shrug. Whether vegan or not, child-free or not, ask yourself how much good can you do?
In the next articles I plan to discuss vegan family creation through biology and through adoption. Part two is: For Vegans Who Want Children.

Hart schools ready to open for class of 2009.
Students won't arrive on campuses in the Wm. S. Hart Union High School District until Thursday, Aug. 14, but the district is already gearing up for the opening of school, when enrollment is expected to top 23,000 for the second year in a row. The district is projecting an enrollment of 23,295 students this year, up 180 from the official student census recorded last October.
The district has hired some 40 new teachers this year, mostly to fill positions vacated by attrition. Although the district is expected to grow by just under 200 students over last year's official enrollment, a increase in class size due to the state's current budget crisis is expected to negate the need for any new teaching positions.
Teachers new to the Hart District have been on the job since Aug. 6, when they met with the district's Peer Assistance and Review team to learn about the Hart District's culture and the support systems in place to help new teachers in their first year.
New teachers also spent a day of technical training, becoming acquainted with the district's student tracking system and other technical systems they will be using. The Hart District Teachers Association hosted a luncheon for all new teachers on Aug. 8 to introduce them to services and benefits offered by the union.
The district's nearly 900 returning teachers will report for work Monday, Aug. 11, and each school will conduct a staff development day for its own teachers on Tuesday morning. Teachers will spend Wednesday working on their rooms and lesson plans in preparation for the arrival of students on Thursday, Aug. 14.
District records show 23,241 students actually enrolled as of Aug. 8, but new students are enrolling daily and the count does not yet reflect students who may have left during the summer without formally withdrawing from their schools. More accurate enrollment figures will be available by the end of the first week of school, and the official enrollment will be recorded the first week in October, when the state records its student census of enrollment.
Schools which are expected to see the greatest change in enrollment are La Mesa Junior High, which already has 67 more students enrolled than the last day of school in June, and Valencia High School, with an increase of 47. Other schools which are showing double-digit increases over last June include Rio Norte Junior High (34), Sierra Vista Junior High (31), Saugus High School (28), Rancho Pico Junior High (24) and Arroyo Seco Junior High (15).
Canyon High School currently shows a slight decrease of 17 students and West Ranch currently is down 13. None of those figures takes into account new move-ins which are continuing to enroll or unaccounted-for withdrawals.
Even though Aug. 14 is the official first day of school, most Hart District students have already gotten a taste to back-to-school as they participate in summer check-in procedures. The early check-in days allow students to get their ID photos taken, pick up their class schedules and check out textbooks so they're ready to start on the first day of school.
Students returning to Hart High School and Placerita Junior High will find more portables on campus to house classes during upcoming modernization, and some areas of campus fenced off for construction activities.
At Placerita, the school's front lawn is fenced off to allow the new hydroseeding to take over. The main campus entrance at the flagpole will remain open, but the Newhall Avenue entrance to the campus will be closed; the 16th St. gate onto the athletic fields will remain open. Five classroom buildings are closed for major renovation, and those classes have been relocated to interim housing.
Contractors spend summer vacation completing relocation of underground utilities and other trenching necessary for the upcoming construction project.
Students returning to Hart High will find that Building A and the lower T classrooms have been demolished over the summer in preparation for the school's new science building. Ten portable classrooms in the front parking lot will provide interim housing for displaced classes. Asbestos abatement has been completed in buildings to be modernized, and active construction areas will be fenced off.
Parents are reminded to use the circular driveway at the front of the school to drop off and pick up students rather than trying to pull over on Newhall Avenue. The drop-off area has been available since last year, when portables were removed from the front of the school after 13 years.
Modernization at Sierra Vista Junior High School is still awaiting approval from the Division of State Architects and most likely will begin to see some construction activity in October.
Other School Districts are also planning to resume classes again. Look below to see when each school starts:
- COC–Aug. 25th
- Saugus Elementary School District –Aug. 13th
- Sulphur Springs School District –Aug.14th
- Castaic Union School District–Aug. 13th
- Newhall Elementary School District–Aug. 13th

Like many hunters who don't have access to private lands or who don't want to pay an arm and a leg to lease property, I like to hunt on public land. But, not surprisingly, so do a lot of other hunters.
I've discovered to be successful on public land, I have to work a little harder than the private land guys.
Don't be afraid to push deeper than the average hunter, and explore more than other hunters are willing to do.
When it comes to public land, many hunters aren't willing to walk much farther than out of sight of their vehicles or access point. This amazes me because there are some really big bucks to be found on state and federal tracts.
Hunters often push deer deeper into recesses of the land, and that's where I want to be.
Study Google Earth, aerial photos and topography maps before you scout, and then incorporate the use of a GPS device or app to shorten the time spent scouting on the ground.
Work harder, study smarter and push deeper than the average guy to find where the public land big boys are!

Tried my hand at making some little Valentine's Day cards this year. Sweet Adeline loves receiving cards (thanks to her personally addressed mail from my sister in Ohio) and I know she will be absolutely thrilled with an opportunity to distribute her own this year (love this age!) I only had a few minutes to do this, but it's a cute first attempt and gets the job done!
Still in need of some of your own little cards? Check out these free, printable, adorable cards from One Charming Party!

No, Tjej, I think I understood them just fine. I am not saying that it won't work for everyone, but most people with body image problems have them not because of any rational reason. It's a mental illness, and no amount of endorphines is going to make it go away. Hence, the Olsen twin whose an anorexic. She's not anorexic because she's even fat, she's anorexic because she is not happy with who she sees in the mirror. She has become obsessive-compulsive over her body.
I have nothing per se against people who work out a lot. I admire them. However, I do have very hard feelings against people who do not take the time to understand a problem and just offer a pat answer like, "You need to work out. That will make you feel better about your body," without even bothering to think about what's causing this in the first place. It is such a talk show answer. It pisses me off. Because, in reality, its subtext perpetuates the problem. It is saying, "Something is wrong with you and you need to fix it." Although well-intentioned, it sometimes comes off as condescending regardless.
Sorry, posted that last comment in the wrong place.
Totally loved the shark house. I don't know if I'd want it in my house, per se, but it was so unique. I love that show.
Secondly, why can't your ex just by your son another bathing suit to keep at his house, instead of making you drive 60 miles for cripes sake.
Thirdly, I love Zach Braff, thanks for the tip!
That new skin popped up as the default. I thought someone had moved your page. I was very confused. Please don't do that again.
How many inches did you need for that?
Monster House ROCKS! The shark team? Awesome! They finished on THURSDAY and everything. Yeah, I think I'm way too hyper here because it's Friday! and tonight's the final clean of the apartment(floors) and we're done. Yippeeeee!
I so love Shark Week.
Bitch. Jason Bateman is MINE. He is outside my office right now with coffee and donuts and begging me to marry him. I KEEL YOU.
uh..I don't like krispy kreme
There…I've said it. It's finally out there.
I had to peek at the spoiler! Thank you! I am sooo glad..I wanna crack Jase with a brick and I am so gla whiny Holly is gone.
Um hm. Like I said, Amalah. DE-LU-SION-AL. I think all this time drinking coffee with Lisa has rotted your brain.
Jason Bateman? Not outside your office. He's too busy with his next starring role in "In Love With Zoot." Coming Soon! To my bedroom. *sigh*
No time to tussle. Too busy trying to remind Jason B that I am a married woman and he is a married man and our love must just stay unrequited for the sake of the children.
Meanwhile, back at the farm:
MrZ and MrAmalah are all "Man! How in the Hell did we, two sexy, smart, and successful men end up with two of the most wacked out chicks on the planet."
Great new skin!
that amalah, always trying to start trouble! I really do love the new skin. I like the purple writing that happens when I leave a comment. And The Village? I am so ready for it! But we're still trying to see Anchorman.
and zach braff? I heart him so very much. I love scrubs, I just never get to watch it.
Ok, Zach Braff? He went to my high school. True story. He graduated a year before I even came in as a freshman. And? This movie he's promoting? He opened it in my home town. And he was THERE. Damn I wish I was home to see that!!
Oh oh and? You new skin so totally rocks. I love purple. It's my new setting now
Hell, girls, WHAT are you talking about? Jason and I are sitting here just laughing at your little fight over him when you BOTH know that la Bateman is MINE. Mine, Mine, and more MINE.
Am I the only one true to the cause of Johnny Depp? I just want to be a lackey in a movie he's in, that's my level of awe.
Mainly because if he spoke to me, I'd spill some coffee on both of us, scar him for life, and have a multi-million dollar law suit on my hands. Or something of that nature.
Wow, what a great bulleted list! So many things to love.
I LOVE the new skin.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for alerting me to Zach's "Garden State" blog. I love him more than anything. You are seriously my hero for telling me about this!
I am seeing "The Village" today. I don't want to be spoiled.
And I've been hotly anticipating the AD DVDs. They keep releasing cover art, then pulling it back, but it seems like the October date is set. I HOPE hope it doesn't change!!
Zach is pretty, oh so pretty. And he is my new best friend…with benefits. And you Zoot, although I love you for introducing me to his blog, cannot have him. You are already too busy fighting with Amy and Bren over Jason.
I convinced my chicken shit husband to take me to see The Village tonight. He told me that he'll have nightmares for the next two days- but if I really want him to, he'll go with me…. awww.. guilt trip gone wrong. He's going! And all because he loves me.
LOVE the new skin!

SP-Pwd (yet another password strength script)
28/01/2013 Journal, my projects, php, programming
Based on the thoughts and conclusions of my previous post about passwords and security, I coded a little php script that works as a RESTful web service and assesses the strength of a given password based on an algorithm that takes under consideration the length, the diversity of the characters used and the "opinion" of a little known google password rating service. The name of it: SP-Pwd
The source is open and free in its Github project page.
Below follows the full documentation (copied from the readme.md) of the current version:
(Yet Another) Simple PHP password strength test (REST web service)
The script is a web service, developed by the REST standards, which takes as a URI argument the password in question and gives back a JSON formatted response with a score (s...Read More
About Passwords and Security
24/01/2013 programming
In the last few days I conducted a little research of my own about passwords and web applications security as a whole and I found out some interesting aspects I would like to share.
Triggering process was the research for authentication mechanisms and mal-practice (eg sql injection) prevention measures to implement in the SP-REST project. Inevitably I stumbled upon issues of user level security (because a system is a strong as the most vulnerable part in the chain of participating parts –both human and machines).
Some of my perceptions about security that I had before this research proved right some other wrong.

SP-REST reaches alpha
23/01/2013 Journal, my projects, programming, SP-Rest
I am very happy to announce that SP-REST, my experimental REStful database wrapper, haw reached a milestone, that is as of today all the basic functionality haw been implemented.
The script is now capable of performing all the basic CRUD operations, supporting MySQL and Oracle databases (tested on 10g version).
Next challenges, towards a fully productive version:
- - Authentication
- - Structured error responses
- - Pagination of data (or other way of handling very large datasets)
As always, latest version of code and documentation in the project's GitHub page.Read More
My new project: sp-rest
17/01/2013 Journal, my projects, php, programming, SP-Rest
During the last few weeks, I consumed a lot of time researching the architecture and the technologies-tools, that should be adopted by the company I work as a development director for (Computer Solutions SA), in order to build the next generation of our ERP and HIS suite "Asclepios™". Through this process I obtained a deeper and broader knowledge of the trends in the universe of modern business application crafting. I hope that in the near future I will be able to share notes, thoughts and decision paths that emerged from this "exploration" in this very blog.
Revealing the hint that my mind is almost irreversibly set towards Service Oriented Architecture and layered systems (yes, I know you know that the future lies in the cloud), I decided to do some hands-on work on some of ...Read More
A few words about UHURU cloud services
17/01/2013 Journal
As I mentioned in a previous post (and I think anyone can see) I moved my blog to a self managed WordPress site, something I was planning to do along time now.
At the time I was looking for online services to host my site, I stumbled upon a message in my LinkedIn account, mentioning the UHURU cloud services. After a glance at their site I decided to give it a try.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of the setup process. Although it is clearly obvious that they provide a lot more than a regular php-mysql host, I was able to get the wordpress installation up and running in just a few clicks.
Being more of a cloud manager than a regular host, it provides several customization options
So, your account consists of "clouds" (in my case "Team spitoglou") which contain apps and s...Read More
New Blog (self managed WordPress hosted on UHURUcloud)
17/01/2013 Journal
One of my new year's resolutions is to make this blog a little more active in 2013.
There is a ton of content and thoughts to share and the lack of time has to be defeated via self-discipline and anti-procrastination measures.
So, first move was to port the blog from the google blogger service to a self managed hosted wordpress.
As hosting provider I chose UHURU, a cloud service which seems to have a lot of potential (not to mention a tempting one year free premium hosting opportunity). I will come back with a little more detail about UHURU in one of my next posts.
Defining and Achieving True Collaboration (from BigVisible Solutions)
10/01/2013 agile, generic, management, reposts
The word collaboration is everywhere these days. Talks, meetings, conversations are almost sure to include it. Managers praise the powers of collaboration. People cite "collaborative efforts" and "collaboration is key." This is all fine, except, I don't think many of those speaking know what collaboration really means. In fact, I know from personal experience that many things later labeled as "a collaboration" were not collaborative at all.
Some of the problem is that the word collaboration is often used as a synonym for three other words that start with C: Communication, coordination, and cooperation. There is a difference between these words, one which most people don't know or don't see as important. It is important to understand what collaboration really means...Read More

Lean Agile Training : Product Owner & the Team
Source: Lean Agile TrainingIs the product owner a member of the team? Yes. Fully and completely.What is the biggest problem that most teams face? That, at the high level (value) or the low level (details), they don't understand what the customer wants well enough.Read More
And who is mainly responsible for managing the flow of this 'business information' into the Team? The PO of course.
And this is a never-ending job. For example, at the lowest level imaginable, as they complete each step of work, he should be giving feedback: "well, that was not quite what I meant", meaning really "I don't think it is quite what the customer will want."
The feeding of the team, this feedback to the team of Devs (meaning, in overly simple terms, creators and testers) is essential...

Mariner Energy Rig Fire Stokes Fears
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Mariner Energy's (ME) platform fire in the Gulf of Mexico has stirred the nation.
It's easy to see why, of course, as the Gulf region continues to struggle to regain its balance after the BP (BP) Deepwater Horizon disaster, smack in the middle of hurricane season. Just on Friday, BP said the spill had cost it $8 billion so far, which somehow sounds low.
As for Mariner Energy, a small Houston-based oil-and-gas explorer suddenly thrust into the national spotlight, here's a round-up of the latest:
By Thursday evening, however, the Coast Guard said there was no slick or "sheen." What there was was plenty of confusion: the apparently mistaken sighting seemed to be in direct conflict with information from Mariner Energy, which had been claiming that nothing had leaked from the platform following the fire. To make the matter even more bewildering, Reuters reported Thursday evening that the Coast Guard received its initial intel regarding the mile-long sheen from Mariner Energy.

My boyfriend and I are both fairly larger people. I'm about 5'7'' and 270lbs and my boyfriend is 6'2'' and about 200lbs. I never expected this child to be small, however I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience. It seems a logical conclusion; genetically the child will just probably be larger, but my concern is my BF's head didn't fit with his mama. haha I'm larger than his mom so my first thought was, this baby will fit, then I started thinking.. I'm larger... I have more room for this kid to grow!
I also am wondering because my BF is convinced we're not going to need newborn diapers or newborn clothes. I'm leaning towards bringing some just in case. Am I being ridiculous?
JFYI: BF was almost 23inches at birth and nearly 10lbs. I was 8.8lbs and 22 inches.
Personally, I'm not sure if it matters. I'm 5'4", generally around 145lbs before I was pregnant...I was 8lbs 2oz when I was born. My husband is 5'10" and weighs around 285...he was only like 7lbs 10oz when he was born. Our son was born weighing 8lbs 12oz (bigger than both of us were) and 22" long (longer than both of us were at birth).
We needed both newborn diapers and clothes for close to a month, but didn't have any, since everyone convinced us we wouldn't need them. So I'd have at least a pack of newborn diapers and a few newborn outfits that you can return if you don't need them.
Also, my husband and I both have rather large heads and our son is only in like the 25th percentile for his head size. You just never know!
My husband is 6'7", 250 lb. He was 11 lb. 4 oz., 24" at birth. I am 5'8" and was 130 lb. pre-pregancy. I was only 7 lb. 1 oz. at birth. I was able to deliver our 9 lb. 5 oz. son vaginally, with the help of a vacuum.
Our baby ended up averaging out between the two of us, but in reality he could've gone either way. He could've leaned towards my genes and been average, or towards my husband and could've been born even bigger than he was. You just never know!
I wouldn't buy any newborn clothes or diapers just yet. We didn't and saved tons of money that way, because our LO couldn't fit into any newborn clothes (carter's NB clothes only go up to 8 lb.). He did wear the NB diapers the hospital gave us, but only for a week. If your baby needs them when he's born, you can always send somebody out to get things, or maybe borrow them from someone else? Plus people always buy clothes for the baby after he's born. You can tell them to get NB things if you need them.
I don't think your current size factors in much really. Now, genetically the size you both were at birth might.
I am currently "fluffy" and was born average sized (7lbs 7oz). DH was bigger at birth, at around 8lbs I believe. DS was born 8lbs 13oz. He never wore NB diapers,he went straight in size 1s. He did fit NB clothes for about two weeks. I wouldn't stock up, but definitely have a few outfits on hand. Most larger babies do fit NB clothes, and they loose birth weight before leaving the hospital. My DS was down to 8lbs 1oz by the time we were discharged. We didn't buy any diapers until after we got him home; we had some from our baby shower and from the hospital, but we had DH go out and buy some the next day.
Good luck to you and congratulations.

Lovely little balcony overlooking the lake. Staff were great, cant thank the lady on reception enough for helping us get to our bus after the travel agent let us down. Lovely breakfast too which they kindly let us have late one day after returning from a 3am tour to Tikal. Close to many restaurants and shops.
Nothing to dislike!
The idyllic location with stunning views across the lake
View of the lake from our balcony; very close to restaurants and bars; very close to the airport; breakfast was included; towels folded in funny shapes!!
Wifi was rather slow, but not too much; it can get noisy on saturday nights (because of the bars around); however on sunday it was really quiet;if travelling to palenque, don't take their offer, but rather directly some external agency's: they offered the trip for 350 quetzales, while san juan agency with just 260.
great location on the water pool area very nice staff
room was depressing with bad lighting and sad decor bathroom was very outdated
I like that it was close to restaurants and travel agencies. Love the night life there. Definately need to come back.
The room was small. That's the only Downside, but we only needed it to sleep.
Location was Amazing! Our room faced the lake, Staff helped us plan our trip to Tikal.
Partner described the pillows as laying on a dead dog, and after 9 hours traveling by bus from Guatemala city, the shower was quite the disappointment.
The location of this hotel is fab - very central with a great sunset view from the balconies over the lake. No nonsense no frills hotel which is reflected in the very good price. Staff very pleasant and helpful.
Great little hotel--just be sure to get a room that is not along the lake. The music from the nearby restaurants and noise from tourists can be loud and go on into the night.
views location (in the middle of Flores)
smells/humidity from the pool inside the hotel, noise from neighbor dance club, noise from A/C (coolers in the corridor !),
Hotel Peten was very well located right on the lake and the staff were very helpful in organising our transport to Tikal, laundry, etc.
But the room itself was very run down and pokey – not helped by having too much furniture crammed in a small room. To say the rooms need renovation is an understatement: power sockets hanging out of the wall, rickety beds, bathroom fittings chipped and worn and bed linen definitely having seen better days. Nor was it particularly cheap considering. But, as a base from which to visit Tikal, the town has a captive audience and therefore probably not under much pressure to raise standards!

Peter Auger, Auburn Hills City Manager
Thoughts on running a city, daily musings, and everything in between.
City Manager, Auburn Hills, MI
Who would have ever thought you would read a quote from Forrest Gump on this here blog! Sometimes life is more interesting than the movies. Every once in awhile, life is stranger than in the movies and no one would believe it if it was in a movie.
Would you believe this if it was in a movie?
An organization that is run by a group of citizens, elected to their positions to set policies and be financially responsible for the organization's funds and to ensure expenditures occur at or under the revenues it receives.
The organization has employees that chartered, as a not-for-profit membership association, an organization to serve their own health care needs of said employees. Then this elected group decides not to pay the almost $8 million in premiums therefore defaulting on their contractual agreement. Then this nonprofit group associated with said employees sues the political group and they agree to a consent judgment where the political group has other organizations bill people for the unpaid $8 million.
To add to this soiled plot, the political subdivision does not inform anyone in the billing organization or anyone who will have to pay this bill as to what is happening.
Just to put a little twist to this implausible plot, an elected judge signs off on the entire back room deal where the people who misspent, didn't prioritize correctly, or didn't pay attention, have no culpability for their actions.
Yes, the above mess is happening and it is truly frustrating that there are ways to protect a special class of people, but not the people who end up footing the bill. There use to be a process called bankruptcy for organizations to go through to pay off the debt they obtained and can't pay off, or in worse case scenarios to liquidate assets, dissolve the organization and split up what is left to who they owe in a prescribed order.
Ah yes, "but momma always said, life is like a box of chocolates."

Mission Blvd Shopping
& Restaurant District
Location: Mission Beach, San Diego, CA
Downtown Highlights
The ecclectic Mission Blvd Shopping & Restaurant District is the main drag of Mission Beach.
Mission Beach is a two-mile peninsula just two blocks wide, with the Pacific Ocean on the west and Mission Bay on the east.
Mission Blvd is generally narrow, with frequent and sometimes unexpected merging into single lanes after intersections.
The stretch of Mission Blvd, from Pacific Beach Drive, south to the Belmont Park is mainly residential, with funky and colorful old apartments, small homes, and condos. Also present are clusters of off-beat clothing stores, smoothie bars, clubs, restaurants, and head shops.
On the Mission Bay side is The Catamaran Resort south of Pacific Beach Drive. Further south is Santa Clara Point, accessible from Santa Clara Place, and El Carmel Point reachable from El Carmel Place. The hub of the Mission Blvd Shopping & Restaurant District is the intersection of Mission Blvd and Ventura Place. Here you'll find Belmont Park, a historic beachfront amusement park located next to the beach in Mission Beach. Belmont Park features rides, games, concessions, an arcade, a food court, beachfront restaurants and bars, shops, and the Wave House.
Opposite Belmont Park along Ventura Place are several shops, including watersports rental, boutiques, souvenirs, restaurants, and an ice cream parlor.
Mission Blvd Shopping & Restaurant District from Belmont Park to South Mission Beach is mainly a residential area with funky, colorful old apartments, condos, and small homes. Mission Blvd stops at the Mission Bay Channel. There is no bridge nearby crossing the channel to Ocean Beach. To do so, you'll have to backtrack to W. Mission Bay Drive.

Sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for. Case in point: Andy Millman, the sitcom star who wants desperately to be taken seriously as an actor, and is willing to do anything--including pulling the plug on his hit show--to do it. Emmy(R) Award-winner Ricky Gervais is back as Andy in the special finale of the acclaimed HBO comedy series. The stellar cast includes Ashley Jensen who returns in the comical role of Andy's best friend Maggie Jacobs, Stephen Merchant as Andy's clueless agent Darren Lamb, and Shaun Pye as Andy's arch-nemesis Greg Lindley Jones, a fellow extra who has suddenly hit the dramatic big time...to Andy's chagrin.

News Release
Wednesday, November 05, 2008

PH (360) 902-8731 firstname.lastname@example.com
Michael Stevenson, Director of Securities Division
PH 360.902.8797, firstname.lastname@example.com
Everett Attorney Sentenced For Fraud - DFI Warns Investors To Get A Second Opinion And Investigate Before Investing
OLYMPIA – The Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) warns investors to get a second opinion before investing, even if with a "trusted advisor" such as an attorney, to avoid the experience of victims defrauded by Everett attorney Barry Hammer.
On Friday, Oct. 31, 2008 Barry Hammer, 62 , an Everett, Washington attorney was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Seattle to three years in prison, three years of supervised release and 250 hours of community service for Wire Fraud in connection with a fraudulent investment scheme.
From 2002 to 2004, Hammer convinced a number of his law practice clients to invest with him in various pieces of real estate. Hammer misrepresented to investors how he was going to use their money and, in Ponzi scheme fashion, used some of the investors' money to repay earlier investors.
DFI's Securities Division issued an administrative Summary Order to Cease and Desist against Hammer in 2005, ordering him to stop the offer and sale of promissory notes to state investors. Later, Securities Division staff assisted in the criminal investigation of Hammer.
Michael Stevenson, Director of the Securities Division urges investors to check out any person offering investment services or investment opportunities prior to signing any agreements. Before making any investment, investors should call 1.877.RING DFI to verify that a company is registered to offer investments and that the persons offering the investment are licensed to do business in the State of Washington or visit www.dfi.wa.gov.
DFI partners with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to provide investor education and information. Additional information about investment protection for consumers of all ages is available at www.saveandinvest.org.
Director Stevenson commends the U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI and Assistant United States Attorney Mark Parrent for their successful investigation and prosecution of Mr. Hammer.
A copy of the U.S. Attorney's press release on Hammer can be found at: http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/waw/press/2008/oct/hammer.html

The Last 2 of Tin Dredger In MalaysiaThis is my last year trip. I go to batu gajah to see last tin dredger in malaysia. Tin mining was extensively in the Kinta Valley of Perak some decades ago. Today it is a sunset industry and most tine mines have closed down. You can still find many mining pools, but this is the only dredge you see. It's an exhibition item near Chendrong, Batu Gajah.

|In my last house we had a Capital Precision range, not the Culinarian. So, this is only comparing the BS rangetop to that range.
I do not have a full range, just a range top. We moved in about a week ago, and most of the cooking has been pretty tame so far, due to sheer exhaustion from unpacking, etc.
But yesterday, I found the wok while unpacking. We made fajitas in the wok. I was able to use the high burner, smoke was billowing out of the pan, and with my Independent hood, and all the smoke was just going up and out. None was spilling over into the room. The new hood is 27" deep, the Viking in the last house was 24" deep, so some smoke always escaped.
Dinner was delicious, I have not cooked like this apparently....ever. Here's a quick little photo of the range top in action.
I just wanted to share with all the appliance gurus! And thank you all for everything.

|Congrats, love the pics, and now you have me sitting on the edge of my seat so to speak. My wife and I are 2 weeks out from our first "Selections" meeting for our remodel with our builder and we are very excited. We are going to go with a 36" BS rangetop just like you have, looks like you have at least I should say. Also looks like you went with 6 burners, correct, how do you like it so far in your limited experience?
Any tips or suggestions for things you wish you had done with this rangetop so far, like a grill or griddle?
Enjoy your new home!
- Posted by beekeeperswife (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 15:12
|phil, I would have loved to have gone with a 48", with a grill. You cannot imagine the look I gave my dh when he actually said that recently. Way back in November, I brought up the idea since the range top wall was so wide that we could do a bigger range top. He poo-poohed it saying it wasn't necessary.
I would not go with 4 burners and a grill. I had 6 burners in the last house and I knew I couldn't go less. We did use them all. And sometimes we did use them all at the same time--go figure.
So, I'm very happy and wouldn't do anything different except go bigger, lol.
(If you can get a 27" deep hood, do it, you will NOT regret it)
- Posted by SparklingWater (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 15:39
|Nice job Bee! Looks great, fun to see real tasty results. Thanks for the tip about the 27" hood.
|Hey bee: nice woking! And your kitchen is devine! Very much my taste. I love the carerra and the different color island, the cabs with the glass do a wonderful job of not making the cabintry look too top heavy, and the floor is gorgeous too, in fact it looks identical to mine (from your pic).
- Posted by flwrs_n_co (My Page) on Sat, Jul 7, 12 at 0:30
|Great to see you're putting that beautiful new rangetop through its paces! Those fajitas look yummy! And thanks for the advice on the depth of the hood (I'm sure the extra width helped too)!
|Bee -- it is a little hard to see, but it looks like you left the grate in place while wokking. Did you know that you can take the grate away, and the wok will settle nicely into the bowl of the burner? (Maybe you did do that and I just can't tell from that shot.)
Thanks for sharing. I still can't believe your new kitchen is done. I am still finishing mine off!
