"The brothers are intimidated by you"…
Building Men
"The brothers are intimidated by you," she told me. SubhanAllah. This is not the first time I've heard that. "Why?" I inquired. She explained, "He [the unnamed, anonymous brother-commentator] said that brothers are intimidated by sisters in leadership positions."
This is the second year I am the president of our campus Muslim Student Association. Why am I the president? And why for two years in a row?
Let's check off the reasons:
– My great love of fame [auothobillah]: not quite.
– My passionate desire to lead: guess again.
– No brothers to step up to the plate: you got it!
Brothers are intimidated by me because I am in a position where no brothers would step up to take on?
Allah musta'aan
Another sister tried to comfort me in this plight of brothers not stepping it up, and yet being intimidated by sisters who are put in the position to fully take on trying to carry the Deen of Allah 'Azza wa Jal on an organizational level.
She told me, "SubhanAllah… we need to change… the brothers to be exact… if they can't handle you… then imagine them, they couldn't handle Aisha radiAllahu anha and Khadija radiAllahu anha AT ALL!"
Obviously there is no comparison to this pathetic sinner and the great and noble Ummahatul Mu'mineen, radi Allahu anhuma, but I think her point is clear:
Step up brothers! Our ummah is lacking MEN.
We live in a society which perpetuates boyhood. Just look at the hype over the new release of GTA! Are you seriously playing that game as a young male adult? As a teenage brother who is the future of this ummah?? Are you kidding me?
Our men [and women- why is dressing like Katie Bell so much more beautiful to our sisters than dressing like Fatima radi Allahu anha? We seek Allah's help and refuge! And we'll save that topic for later insha'Allah…] are being pumped with the glamorization of pornography, violence and theft, and it's creating a cycle of boyhood which is leaving sisters who are ready to move forward and ready to take on contributing back to society, as single souls waiting for just ONE brother who show up who is actually a MAN.
What can you, dear brother reader, do about it?
1- Seek Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and strive to reform yourself. Seriously work to build a relationship with the Qur'an and read it in a language you understand on a daily basis. Can't you spare only 15 minutes of your day for the Qur'an? Bi'idnillah, let us stop making excuses and start reaping ajr, begin cultivating tazkiyya, and engage consistently in tarbiyya through knowing the Qur'an!
2- Increase your thikr in the morning and in the late afternoon- after 'asr- (see www.makedua.com for duaas the Prophet sal Allahu 'alayhi wa sallama would make during those times). Take advantage of what the ultimate man, Rasul Allah, sal Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam, did on a daily basis to be like him, sal Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
For those who aren't taking advantage of this yet, just take a look at only two benefits of only two duaas (and there are a ton more subhanAllah!):
حَسْبِيَ اللهُ لَآ إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
Hasbiyallaahu laa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huwa 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul-'Arshil-'Adheem
Allah is sufficient for me. There is none worthy of worship but Him. I have placed my trust in Him, He is Lord of the Majestic Throne. (Recite seven times in Arabic.)
Allah will grant whoever recites this seven times in the morning or evening whatever he desires from this world or the next.
[Ibn As-Sunni, Abu Dawud]
And also:
رَضِيتُ باللهِ رَبَّاً، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِيناً، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَى اللهُ عَلِيهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَبِيَّا
Radheetu billaahi Rabban, wa bil-'Islaami deenan, wa bi-Muhammadin (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallama) Nabiyyan.
I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion and with Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as my Prophet.
(Recite three times in Arabic)
"Allah has promised that anyone who says this three times every morning or evening will be pleased on the Day of Resurrection." [Ahmed]
4- and take the responsibility of leading this ummah seriously.
There is a reason Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has described you as "…quwamona 'alan Nisaa" (an Nisaa: 34). And notice: the verse did not say that BOYS are quwamona 'alan Nisaa. The verse says, "AR RIJAAL…"- MEN.
Learn about what that means and act upon it. Here's a great resource for you: www.qtafsir.com.
But you know what an even greater resource is? The Qur'an itself! So make it your close companion, and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala elevate you and make you a modern day Usamah ibn Zayd, Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas, Mus'aab ibn Umayr and Muadh ibn Jabal radi Allahu anhum…these companions who took on this message as YOUTH, but carried it as strong men.
Bismillah- go for it!
Obviously the above advice does not pertain specifically to our brothers, but I felt that it would be more beneficial to include some naseeha instead of going off on a rant against brothers and leaving them hanging. And what would inshaAllah benefit me greatly is to hear advice from all of you as to how we can improve our state as an ummah, and how we can go back to following the blessed examples of those men and women who were molded through the greatest teacher, Rasul Allah, sal Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to make all of us a means of benefiting our societies, a means of carrying the responsibility of this heavy message with wisdom and sincerity, and a means of being a blessing wherever we are.
Please forgive me, and alHamdullilah- by Allah's Mercy- this isn't a perpetual plague. We'll be having a brother as our MSA president this upcoming year, inshaAllah.

Asalaam alaykum wa rahmatullah
Good points and naseeha give there. It made me think of the "good old Islamic Society days" where the select few brothers who are allocated positions of Head Brother/Treasurer/Vice Chair have somewhat good communication with the active sisters; the select few active sisters get most of the planning and organisation on its way; whilst the inactive brothers just watch on and think the sisters are being too bossy without realising it's the Head Brother who sent them a task to do; and the other sisters who aren't active just look on and spread gossip about the active sisters talking to the active brothers.
May Allah make us use the sense that He's Given us and be better ambassadors of Islam. Allahumma Ameen.
[By the way, side note if you don't mind me asking: is it meant to be intimated or intimidated?]
Take care, keep smiling, and wasalaam alaykum wa rahmatullah
wa alaikum as salam warahmat Allahe wa barakatahu,
AlHamdullilah you caught that! Don't know why I kept writing intimated. Yes, it is INTIMIDATED
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh . . .
Some good points here, and a real reality that is certainly out there. May Allah reward you (whoever you are)…
Shifting gears though: I would like the sisters to "step up" as well. Where are the female scholars of deep insight and knowledge and what has become of the female callers to Islam of high calibre?
May Allah help us and the ummah… Amin.
Assalamu Alaikum,
This is the second or third time I've read on the blog about how the brothers need to step up and there aren't any "rijaal" left in the community. It's excellent nasihah (the brothers DEFINITELY need to step up), but with regards to the comment (which was posted by another sister before as well):
"and it's creating a cycle of boyhood which is leaving sisters who are ready to move forward and ready to take on contributing back to society, as single souls waiting for just ONE brother who show up who is actually a MAN."
I have a few things to say about that comment (assuming I'm not misunderstanding what the author is trying to say). First of all, there are MANY "men" out there who are trying to stay on the straight path and work for the sake of Allah (swt). Every time one of these "men" tries to propose to a pious sister, he gets shot down by her parents because of very unislamic reasons ("oh, he's not the same race as us or even from the same town as us!", he doesn't look like brad pitt, etc). It is exactly that phenomenon which causes the "rijaal" to lose hope of finding a pious sister, and to get married to somebody their parents find them or to just another "Muslim girl" (who has no interest in Islamic work or studying the deen of Allah).
It's a perpetual cycle and unfortunately will persist unless we uproot the racism within our families and be more open-minded. There's a lot of nasihah for the brothers in this article (and it's great, wallahi… jazakallahu khair), but here's some nasihah for the sisters: when a pious "rajul" does approach you for marriage, DON'T let your parents shut him down because he's Arab/Indian/Pakistani/Black/Bengali/etc… Stand up to them (politely and with adab) and tell them that that is not what matters to you; what matters to you is how his relationship with Allah (swt) is. Otherwise if you play the game by your parents' rules, you'll never find that "rajul" (who is also from the same town as your parents back home!).
Sorry about the rant (and a very off-topic comment), and the nasihah is not meant for anybody specific, but sisters in general. Please forgive me if I've offended anyone, as this was not my intention.
Also I would like to hear other people's opinions on this matter (including Imam Suhaib!)
– Brother Man
WM i agree with you.
If we dont have a real men in ummah that is because the first madrassa (mom) didnt produce real men. So where are the real womens.
anyway great reminder sis. keep up the good the good work, but be careful about mixing with men a lot.
wa alaykum as salam wa rahmatuAllahe wa barakataho,
"Shifting gears though: I would like the sisters to "step up" as well. Where are the female scholars of deep insight and knowledge and what has become of the female callers to Islam of high calibre?"
ALLAHU AKBAR! Make duaa for us sisters to step up and be given the sound knowledge and understanding, implementation and ability to pass on scholarship.
Brother man- completely agree, jezak Allahu khayrin for the important naseeha.
Assalamu Alaikum,
Honestly, this is very well received nasihah. I think it is necessary and important that our brothers understand these points. At the same time, I would remind everyone from a wise quote, full of hikmah and wisdom for men (and women) of understanding
From the movie 300: (yes, it was just as haram a movie as you're all thinking)
Messenger: What makes this woman think she can speak among men?
Queen Gorgo: Because only Spartan women give birth to real men."
So although I agree with everything in this article, I think we forget that this entire discussion is a discussion which requires balance and understanding that this whole thing is a cyclical problem.
You will not get real Muslim men, until their mothers build them, train them, teach them, and educate them, and until their fathers show them how to actualize what was taught to them.
Thus, we can go on all day asking "Where are the rijaal, where are the rijaal. I want the rijaal so we can go study Islam and move the Deen forward." and so on and so forth, etcetera etcetera etcetera (yes, I spelled it out for effect). This is not going to solve anything.
Acting like this is a one-sided problem and that we have a bunch of boyish immature men and an army of educated, pious, disciplined women is inaccurate. We have sisters who are lost in the world of clothes, makeup, daydreams, backbiting, slander, CK hijab styling, and plain wasting their time frequenting the shopping malls and watching tv.
And YES, we have the boys who are checking out their hair in the reflection of their rims (while the rims are spinning), playing GTA4 and smoking hookah while pretending that because the music is middle eastern, this somehow has something to do with their Islamic roots.
Our problem is on BOTH sides. We have a youth community that is lost and needs some serious guidance.
So although I DO AGREE with your article, it is important to understand that this is a two-sided problem which consolidates into a general problem with ALL OUR YOUTH.
Asking "Where are the rijaal where are the rijaal" will not solve anything. The rijaal are around and they are looking for the followers of the path of Khadija (ra) so they can fulfill their mission before Allah and before Mankind. Unfortunately these women are very hard to find.
As-salamu Alaikum – Masha'Allah, what a wonderful post!
As a student and onetime member of MSA as a vice president, the president being a very wonderful and capable sister, I was quite intimidated by the sisters who made up the majority of the Shura – not in the sense of jealousy or knowledge, but the sisters Masha'Allah were the most enthusiastic and hard-workers. I'm always impressed by how terrific the sisters are when it comes to working for the deen and as a Muslim man, it makes me sad that some of us brothers are not as enthusiastic as the sister are for Islam.
To Brother Man: The other day I attended a lecture at the masjid in which the imam mentioned a story about him giving a lecture about marriage in Islam in California and after the talk he said an older brother approached him with a portfolio of his daughter's and asked him to find a "suitable" husband for her but the imam said he knew what this brother was looking for his daughter was a brother from India or Pakistan who is a DOCTOR because his daughter was a doctor!
So the point the imam was making was that a lot of parents want their children to get double degrees or Phds instead of encouraging them to study their deen but then when their children get double degrees or become doctors, they want to find an espouse for their children that is someone exactly like them in terms of #s of degrees and ethnicity – not how close the brother or sister is to their Creator, so as you mentioned, it becomes a cycle that parents pass on to their children unIslamic beliefs and traditions as Islam, then the children continue that to their children so after a while, a tradition or cultural belief back home becomes Islam.
Sorry my post is too long but I hope you can comment on it and perhaps suggest what ought to be done when cultural baggages are being legitimized and solidified as Islam when it clear is not?
Wa Salaamu Alaikum,
Excellent excellent excellent article MashAllah. And I'm a brother btw lol. I've seen so many times that sisters seem to be more enthusiastic about so many things, like ilm and enjoining the good/forbidding the evil, more so than most brothers. The brothers who do this are far and few in between and I take myself under this umbrella.
And I agree with the above post that while we do need to address this issue we shouldn't forget the sister either.
So… how can I link this article to my own blog? lol.
Jazakallahu Khairan.
It's "Muslim Guy Shortage" revisited.
As salamu 'alaikum,
I agree with this post Alhamdullilah. I have talked to brothers about this issue. Brother duck, dodge and run from responsibility all the while we are engaged in our nafs. If it tough on us, so what! We need the admonition. We have a world to reform and it will take men from every place to do the job. We need men!
We aren't supposed to seek leadership foir ourselves. I know a lot of brothers who refuse to get involved for that reason.
well you dont need to be president to be active in the MSA. thats the prob a lot of MSA's have today – all the work is left to shura and 'regular members' are left to do nothing, or they think they CANT DO anything
Asalamualaikum wrt,
All praise be to Allah. Isn't there a hadith about men being few and women increasing towards the end of time?
Perhaps one reason is that many young brothers are forced to repress their manhood due to society preventing early marriage, or making it difficult. Few brothers can successfully go through college without marriage, and at the same time sit in a room next to sisters and talk about Islam. College campuses are full of fitnah. For Islam to develop, we need environment.
Whenever Islam makes something haram, it provides a halal alternative. However, due to financial concerns, we as a community prevent early marriage. Most parents delay marriage of their children until after college. Unfortunately, this is too late for many brothers. They lose their Iman.
May Allah guide us to follow the Sunnah.
One other point, I think each MSA needs to have an Imam or people of knowledge direct their activities. A lot of MSA's emphasize the social aspect, and they neglect the knowledge and character building. They might emphasize political activism, but ignore praying 5 salat together.
Perhaps one last point on identity…I think sisters wearing hijab helps them create an Islamic identity that makes them proud of Islam. Brothers tend to blend in, and lose this identity. I know a brother who used to wear a Kufi in college, all the time, and I think it helped him alot, not to get drawn into the party crowd. Imagine, a guy wearing a kufi going to parties
May Allah bless the MSA's and all those working for the deen.
Assalaamu `alaykum wa rahmatulahy wa barakatuh
I was hoping that you talked more about being a man in social aspects as well.
Of course being president is very important, but it seems that socially myself and other brothers depict the role of "boys" instead of "men" in our society. It seems that in our community brothers are not men until we are married and having children.
I'm saying this because we insult one another and don't take our religion seriously. We feel that, and this goes for myself first and foremost, we are fine the way we are and without changing ourselves we are on the path to paradise.
If you could address this topic that would be very beneficial.
Jazak Allahu Khayr
Asalamu alaykum,
I'm preparing for exams and was just able to read this today. Really great reminder.
Br. Man this is what I have to say:
The Best Hood Is Parenthood.
Very enlightening article mashallah.
The lack of Muslim men stepping up the plate in leadership positions is foreign to me as our MSA has a good number of both males and females involved almost equally (alhamdulillah).
However, I definitely agree with some of the comments of how it takes great women to build great men, and how this is a cycle which is multi-facted and all it's aspects need to be targeted before the issue in this article will begin to cease.
The cycle needs to be broken somewhere, and I believe it can start with educating our mothers and fathers first so that they can lay the foundation for Muslim children EARLY ON. I'm a firm believer in getting our children to develop an internalized Muslim identity from a very young age, because this will shape who they will become when they grow older. It is much easier to prevent things from happening than trying to fix them later, so this is something I think we all should be striving for within our communities, through the use of knowledge dissemination, halaqas, parent workshops etc.
wa 'alaykum as salam wa rahmatuAllahi wa barakatahu,
Jezakum Allahu khayrin for your responses, they were of great benefit for me alHamdullilah.
Just a note: I think a lot of us missed the point of this article, and it's probably my fault in not making it clear. My plea was not for brothers to step up and become MSA presidents, it was to step and up and take serious responsibility for this ummah in all realms, not just leadership.
I began with my personal story as having to take on being MSA president two years in a row, and having the brothers being intimidated by that (I still don't understand this- how you gonna be intimidated by someone who took up what you refused to take on?) to highlight the desperate need for brothers to just STEP UP in general- in the social realm, emotional and psychological realm, family realm [why do we have domestic abuse in our communities?! Is that manly? auothobillah!], etc. And that's great that brothers don't want to seek leadership positions, alHamdullilah! But there is a big difference between actively seeking a position, and taking one when you are needed.
I ended mentioning our MSA president being a brother this upcoming year, inshaAllah, in order to show that Alhamdullilah, men are there, and I personally can think of a number of brothers who have really shown amazing deen and character in the way they conduct themselves and the way they step up and take on responsibility, alHamdullilah. but we need a lot more of them. those brothers, in my personal experience, just like such sisters, are scarce. and that's scary, because we need them enormously.
Of course I agree that we need followers of Khadija radi Allahu anha- may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make our sisters like her! ameen! and I specifically mentioned that the discussion of women is another topic because I know it is a needed one.
But here is my concern, and this is what I heard Imam Suhaib say once in a talk [not exactly like this]: Brothers say, "I want an Aisha [radiAllahu anha], I want a Khadija [radiAllahu anha]", but they do not realize who the HUSBAND of these amazing women were, sal Allahu 'alayhi wa sallama.
So brothers, yes, sisters do need to step up as well. It would be great if someone could write an article on how we can do that inshaAllah. But that does not make the reality of our lack of brothers who are willing to take it on- in all aspects where they are needed to be serious and step it up- any less. It's not fair to fling the responsibility of the lack of men onto the lack of women, as if the problem will just go away or equal out. I know women, amazing sisters with all 4 of the qualities, who are in their late twenties and still can't find a brother to marry. And they aren't looking for Super Muslim. They just want a brother who will lead them and be serious about having strong character and deen. This post was not supposed to revolve around marriage, but I'm just mentioning it to point out the reality we face in our communities- sisters who are taking it on and brothers who are chillin, sisters who are trying to move forward, and finding too many brothers who are melting from chillin for so long.
Again, the reminder: If you're looking for our ummah to be filled with women like Khadija radi Allahu anha, then brothers, you've got to start trying to be like the teacher of Khadija radi Allahu anha, the best man, sal Allahu 'alayhi wa sallama.
Please forgive me, as my intention was not to offend anyone. I was just hoping to highlight a serious problem, and trying to suggest a few small ways which we can work to try and fix these problems through our revamping our connection with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala through individual efforts.
Please keep me and my family in your dua', wa Allahu 'alam
ps- True Virtues, to link this to your blog, just copy and paste the entire thing, including the title, and insha'Allah it should link.
salaam Author,
No argument there. I think you tied up all the loose ends with that last comment and alhamdulillah balanced out your article such that you leave us with no choice but to act on your advice and call to it, inshAllah.
jazak-illah khair
oh yea, and ps: in the slight chance anyone does recognize my tone, to acquit the brothers from my MSA: Alhamdullilah they've really, really stepped up this past year, so this isn't a rant against them in particular. I really wanted to clarify that just in case.
Yep, very true, very few brothers step up and do anything. Even among the religiously oriented, lots of talkers, few walkers. And once they get married, say goodbye gracie.
Br. Siraaj…. you have spoken some serious words of truth (at least to my knowledge).
We do have a lot of talkers in our community, even when they are the religious oriented, its like baba Ali's video, we seem to have a lot of complients but at the end of the day we never seem to stand up and do it [ includes me, half the things i complain about i dont do ]
As i was listening to the this GREAT lecture it emphasized how the first madrasa is the mothers lap and before even before that too. Alhamdulilah i look at this as a good thing, inshAllah since we seem to have A LOT of good, educated sisters this will mean A LOT MORE pious active leaders of our ummah brothers are going to come up!! That is one thing i will do inshAllah. I will have my own little Abu Bakr siddiq and Ibn Abass's and of course Khadijas and Nusybahs (RA) INSHALLAH.
Their is not much we can do about todays world lets just make sure with Allah SWT guiding us we change the future of our Rasools SAW ummah!!
Great Article everything sounds familiar
I couldn't agree more. subhan Allah.

The New York City Housing Authority [1] has opened Arbor House, a 124-unit complex in the Morrisania neighborhood of the Bronx. The LEED Platinum building includes energy-efficient HVAC, a "green wall" lobby feature, and a 10,000-sf hydroponic farm on the roof.
Designed by ABS Architects [2], the $37.7 million facility is the result of a collaboration between the NYCHA, the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development [3], and Blue Sea Development. The public-private initiative was part of a city program to recruit private companies to develop dilapidated and vacant NYCHA land. About 2,000 units in the program are currently under construction or in pre-development in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn.
Arbor House, an eight-story building, contains 16 studios, 33 one-bedroom apartments, and 75 two-bedroom apartments, plus superintendent quarters. Residents must earn less than 60% of the area median income ($49,800 for a family of four). Residents will start moving in during the next few weeks. HPD spokesperson RuthAnne Visnauskas says the city is pushing for more sustainable design in its public housing facilities. The rooftop farm, a first for the agency, will be operated by third party Sky Vegetables [4] and is expected to generate money by selling produce commercially, with some of the yield set aside for building residents and other local families.
About $37 million of the project cost was subsidized via local, state, and city subsidies, Reso A funds, tax credit equities, and tax-exempt bonds.

Strictly Critical Video: Gopnik and Viveros-Faun├® at Frieze Art Fair
Our pair of critics visit the third New York edition of Frieze, one of the world's most prestigious art fairs, founded in London in 2003. Neither Blake Gopnik nor┬ĀChristian┬ĀViveros-Faun├®┬Āare fans of an unbridled art market, and they have both been disappointed by how bad the best art can look at a fair. But they've come to the conclusion that all such events are really about a pleasure that isn't aesthetic: They are occasions to indulge in the joy of shopping.
Of course our critics don't have the kind of wealth it would take to truly go on a buying spree for fine art. They are rich in one thing, however: imagination. Donning figurative top hats, they decide to become oligarchs for a day and make some fictional purchases.
"Donald Judd matters to me. A serious art collector has got to have some Donald Judd," says Gopnik, perusing the Minimal wares at one gallery's stall. "I love Ai Weiwei's work," says Viveros-Faun├®┬Ā, as he takes in the painted vases the Chinese master has for sale at another booth. "They're total eye candy and I think that's absolutely great."
They are undecided about some brand new works by Ed Ruscha. ŌĆ£I think you want great Ruscha from the classic period," says Gopnik. ┬Ā"Sure," says his pal, ŌĆ£but I'll take this any day."

Dial Global, Inc. Announces Signing Of Merger Agreement With Cumulus Media
NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Dial Global, Inc. (OTC Pink: DIAL) (the "Company") announced today that Dial Global and Cardinals Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cumulus Media Inc. ("Cumulus"), have entered into an agreement and plan of merger ("Merger Agreement"). As described in more detail in a Form 8-K filed earlier today by Cumulus (NASDAQ: CMLS), Cardinals Merger Corporation will merge with and into Dial Global and Dial Global will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Cumulus. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions and other conditions set forth in the aforementioned Form 8-K.
While the $260 million purchase price payable in the merger is insufficient to repay all of the Company's indebtedness and the liquidation preference on all of the Company's outstanding preferred stock, as part of the Merger Agreement, the holders of the Company's Series A, B, C and D Preferred Stock agreed to contribute a portion of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and all of the shares of Series B, C and D Preferred Stock to the Company for no consideration, effective immediately prior to the merger. As such, upon consummation of the merger, each outstanding share of common stock of the Company will be converted into the right to receive $0.155, and the balance of the merger consideration, after repayment of indebtedness and transaction expenses and subject to certain escrow holdbacks, will be distributed as merger consideration to the Company's Series A preferred stockholders, based on the liquidation preference of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock remaining outstanding after giving effect to the above described contributions of the other shares of preferred stock.
Shortly following the entry into the merger agreement, stockholders holding approximately 90% of the Company's common stock entered into a written consent approving the merger.

The golf grip is the one point of contact between the golfer and the club, yet grips rarely get recognition.
This is an eye-catching all-weather grip available in three colors (black, blue, red). The grip consists of three functional layers.
The foundation is a super tacky and softer ACE 3Gen material. The middle layer is a moisture-wicking fabric weave that contributes to surface traction. The outer layer is a firmer ACE 3Gen compound.
Cost: $8.99 standard (52 grams), $9.49 midsize (63 grams)
Many players take grips for granted, never changing grips until they get slick. This can be a mistake. Some touring professionals change their grips every month or so. Their reasoning: They want to maintain the consistent feel of new grips, and they definitely don't want grip pressure to be altered because the texture or firmness of the grips seems different.
Installation of grips at the beginning of the golf season generally is considered minimal maintenance. Several grip manufacturers recommend changing grips twice per year.

Winter Pea + Cow Pea + Sunn Hemp + Oats + Pearl Millet + Radish + Ethopian Cabbage + Sunflower
This 8 way mix is designed as an easily managed cover that will rapidly improve soil health. The diverse biomass above and below ground not only scavenges remaining soil nutrients, but adds nitrogen and will make other micronutrients more available to next year's crop. The mix adds organic matter, improves water infiltration, and provides a beneficial environment for soil micro-organisms. This mix will winter kill, making spring management easy.
Use in rotations of small grains to corn/milo to get the greatest benefit. If planted in July/August it can be used as late fall / winter forage for even more benefit.
Drill at 35lbs/A or broadcast at 40lbs.
A vertical tillage tool could be used to "work in" the seed if run at one inch or less depth.

How to partition a new external HD in Windows 7?
I just got a new Western Digital 2TB external hard drive for backup, but I want to partition it in order for it to be more effective(or so I've heard). I know that in Windows XP when you format a new hard drive you can make partitions with extreme ease. How can I do that in Windows 7?
|My System Specs
|10 Apr 2011
Windows 7 x64
Disk management operates basically the same in windows 7.
Do not make more than 4 partitions as this can be problematic for the file system.
If windows built in is just not working for you or you don't understand it properly I suggest using a partition tool
Here's a decent one with a free version
Free Partition Magic alternative. Free Partition Manager Software for Windows 7/VISTA/XP/2000 and Windows Server 2003/2008/2000.

Melcher Hall, named after Milton L. Melcher and built in 1966, is home for approximately 255 men. Melcher Hall residents are active in numerous campus and community events. Melcher Hall residents enjoy a recently renovated Party/Game Room and basement, which includes a newer kitchen for special meals, television area, and meeting area.
Happy November Melcher!
I hope you all enjoyed your fall break and are ready to tackle the last few weeks of this semester.
If you're wondering to yourself when the next break is, that would be Thanksgiving break. Thanksgiving break begins Thursday November 27th and lasts throughout the weekend. If you would like to stay in Melcher over the break please sign-up to stay at the front desk. This sign-up sheet is very important and lets us know who is still in the buildng in case of an emergency. It is also important to know that the front desk will have very limited hours over Thanksgiving Break, and will only be open for an hour each day. This begins Wednesday afternoon, and regular hours resume Sunday evening. The hours for the desk will be posted outside the front desk before break begins.
If you are planning on heading out for Thanksgiving break there are somethings for you to remember to do before you leave. Please shut off all alarms clocks, close your windows, and remember to lock your door. This is also a good time to think about taking things home that you may need to have over Winter break. Winter break residents are not allowed to stay in Melcher, so if you were planning on bringing alot of times home, Thanksgiving break may be the perfect time to start taking some of that stuff home with you.
As winter is fast approaching please keep these things in mind. When it snows please take your time traveling. Whether you are heading to class, to visit friends, going home or just going to walmart, give yourself extra time to get there. The roads and a hills of Platteville can be very steep and slippery in winter. If you have a bicycle on campus, you may store that bike in your room. Before you bring your bike in make sure you talk to your roommate and get their ok. Additionally bikes may only be brought into and out of the bulding once per year. This helps to ensure that we are keeping the rooms, hallways, and stairs in the best possible condition.
Melcher's Hall Forum is continueing to be up and running. We will be having meetings every Wednesday in the west side basement, staring at 9pm. These meetings are a great source of information, a way to spread word about what events your clubs and organizations may be putting on, and great fun. The meetings begin with current events, move on to an open floor time, continue with the weekly Melcher Man and Melcher Moron portion, and conclude with a Wing War event. If you would like to get on the Hall Forum's agenda please email either Christopher Goodenough, or Matthew Erickson.
I hope that you are enjoying your fall semester.
Every day is a great day to be a Pioneer,
James Zarling

Autoblog has followed the developments at Carbon Motors ever since the start-up unveiled its new police cruiser a year and a half ago. And while the car looks impressively good, what makes this company worth watching goes well beyond the product. Carbon has come up with a business model that could let it carve out a profitable chunk of the automotive market that, up to now, was always controlled by major car companies.
The key is that Carbon is building the first-ever vehicle specifically designed for police work. It's based on research from 2,800 law enforcement personnel from 800 different law enforcement agencies spread throughout the United States. From that, Carbon developed a proprietary list of 101 critical items needed to meet the needs of these customers – like a front seat that can accommodate a cop who is 6'10". As a result, this is not a modified version of some mass-market sedan, or a clever combination of parts from a bin. The Carbon Motors E7 is a clean-sheet design for a purpose-built police car.
John McElroy is host of the TV program "Autoline Detroit" and daily web video "Autoline Daily". Every week he brings his unique insights as an auto industry insider to Autoblog readers.
Carbon doesn't even call itself a car company. It calls itself a homeland security company, and aims to join the ranks of the kind of manufacturers that make ambulances and post office, fire and garbage trucks. But by focusing solely on cop cars, it has zeroed in on a juicy little segment that's just ripe for the picking.
There are 17,000 different law enforcement agencies across the U.S. that maintain a fleet of 425,000 cars. Those cars, which are driven a lot and driven hard, go through a lot of turnover, about 75,000 a year. Ford, which dominates the market with the Crown Victoria, sells between 60,000 and 65,000 police models a year. Therein lies the secret to Carbon's business model. It can potentially grab enough volume to get the economy of scale that it needs. But instead of shooting for high-volume production, this Atlanta-based company is adopting a mid-volume business model, and the key to achieving that is how it's designed the E7.

The car uses a space frame largely comprised of aluminum extrusions, which are very inexpensive to tool up. The body is made of composite panels, with molded-in color. This means Carbon doesn't have to invest in a body shop or paint shop, the most expensive parts of the typical automotive assembly plant. While its piece costs may be higher, it will save hundreds of millions of dollars in up-front tooling costs. And it's relying on suppliers such as BASF, Dura, Lear and Lotus Engineering to provide the expertise and components it can't do on its own.

Carbon's plans are to use a 10-year product cycle. That way it can potentially achieve volumes of 500,000 cars over that time frame, maybe more. And that kind of volume can be quite attractive to suppliers, especially since homeland security companies typically don't go around squeezing their suppliers for price cuts every year, as is typical of the major car companies. Carbon won't talk about what it will charge for its car, but points out the average police car costs around $55,000 once it's equipped with lights, computers, gun racks, radios, partitions, and everything else that goes into them these days. The E7 will cost at least that, probably more. But Carbon's main selling point is that its maintenance and operating costs will be significantly cheaper than those of a Crown Victoria or any other gussied up civilian sedan.
Carbon's main selling point is that its maintenance and operating costs will be significantly cheaper than those of a Crown VictoriaFor example, Carbon can mold all the badges and logos for individual police departments right into the panels since they're plastic. That protects them from getting scraped up. But cop cars can still get banged up pretty good, so this arrangement makes it quick and easy to remove and replace them. Less time in the shop means more time for police work. The same goes for heavy-duty brakes that are designed for police work so the pads last a lot longer on this 4,000 pound car. A 300-hp, 420 lb-ft clean-diesel promises to provide 0-60 mph performance in 6.6 seconds with a limited top speed of 140 mph. Yet Carbon claims the E7 will get 40% better fuel economy than a Crown Vic, and that a typical big city police force will save millions of dollars a year with a fleet of E7s.
The company's unique business model includes handling all sales over the internet, building only to order, and delivering directly to the customer. In other words, Carbon will not need any kind of national dealer network to distribute its vehicles, another example of how it plans to hold down costs.
And yet, so far all Carbon has is an impressive plan – on paper. While it has a great looking concept car, that's all it is for now, a concept. The car is far from being fully developed. The company hopes to be in production by 2012, but that seems a long way away for a car that's already been hyped in the press for nearly two years.
Of course, it's better to see the company set realistic goals than just try to hype its way through several layers of angel investors. We've seen enough of that happen before with the wannabees who always seem to roll out exotically expensive sports cars. What I like about Carbon Motors' chances is that it's going after a business model that will make it very difficult for any mass-market manufacturer to follow.

Storm-damaged Bellevue Hospital on Manhattan's East Side began offering patients limited services on Monday, three weeks after it was shut down and evacuated by Hurricane Sandy. NY1's Dean Meminger filed the following report.
Although it has much to do to fully reopen, Bellevue Hospital on Manhattan's East Side started seeing adults and children in its primary care department and clinics for the first time since Sandy.
The hospital is also now taking walk-in patients with non-emergencies 24 hours a day and offered outpatient primary care clinics and routine OB/GYN services.
Nadine McGregor told NY1 she was happy to be among the hospital's few patients on Monday.
"It is important for me because I need to se a doctor to get my thyroid medicine, so it's open. I'm glad it's open, I like Bellevue," said McGregor
"It was three weeks ago that we saw our last patients leave here and I thought we were all going to crumble, but here we are back again," said Lynda Curtis, the senior vice president of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation.
Millions of gallons of water from the East River poured into Bellevue's basement at the height of the storm and more than 700 patients had to be evacuated.
"Each safely bundled up by their care provider on the inpatient units, then carried down 16 flights of stairs by national guardsmen or emergency medical technicians, to be checked by clinical staff at ground level and to be loaded aboard the waiting ambulances," said Dr. Nathan Link, Bellevue's medical director. "No patient was harmed during this remarkable process."
With more than 625,000 visits every year, Bellevue is considered the flagship of the city's publicly run health care system. But as important as this facility is, officials said it will not be fully operational until February.
"There is still much work to do to repair the extensive damage to the heating, domestic water, ventilation, communications, elevator systems caused when the flood waters surged into the hospital's 180,000-square-feet basement," said Alan Aviles, the president of the HHC.
Hospital officials are hoping the emergency room will open its doors in mid-December, followed by the operating rooms in February.

To some degree this may be the result of Wong's working method: He shoots endlessly, often without a real script and without telling the actors how and where any given scene may fit into the whole. Essentially he feels his way along during the shoot and then figures out how to assemble the entire thing later. This method sounds like a recipe for disaster, but Wong has the chops to pull it off. Despite -- or perhaps because of -- that fact, he manages once again to get performances from Leung and Cheung that are extraordinary, even by their own high standards.
At the same time, Wong's particular brand of cinema may not be for everyone. To an action-oriented sensibility, In the Mood for Love may not be engaging enough; it tries one's patience with its pace and the ultimate aimlessness of the story. But on a second viewing, the movie's virtues hugely overwhelm its vices. In fact it reveals them not to be vices at all but rather the necessary elements from which Wong weaves a spell that no other director alive could create.

glasses are
used to correct vision at two distances—a prescription on top for far away
and a different prescription on the bottom for near.
Most people think of bifocals as reading glasses for people over forty
who lose their ability to focus up close as they age.
children can also need reading glasses.
children have not developed sufficient control over their focusing systems,
the natural lens inside the eye that keeps images clear, especially up close.
Some children lack the ability to sustain sufficient focusing over an
extended time period, so after a while print begins to blur.
Others can't make fast focusing shifts from one distance to another,
like from the board to their desks, so any time they look away, everything is
blurry. Some children have a tendency to over focus, and the
additional stress causes eyestrain and headaches. If they over focus too
much, the additional tension on the visual system can make the eyes to turn
too far inward, causing double vision. Finally, near work at school places
much more stress on the visual system than distance viewing, and some young
children respond by translating the visual stress into physical and emotional
symptoms—back and neck tension, headaches, constriction of their perceptual
fields and a reduction in their visual space, a tendency to develop
nearsightedness, and avoidance of the reading tasks that are causing the
physical and visual discomfort.
reading glasses effectively treats
many of these problems. A convex plus lens relaxes the child's focusing
system, relieving much of the visual stress. In fact, prescribing a low
power plus lens is so effective in keeping children's visual system
comfortable during extended close work at school that they are often called
"learning lenses."
glasses that use a bifocal are a good option for school-aged children who only
need the additional correction up close. The bifocal gives them the lens
support they need for deskwork but doesn't change their distance vision.
Sometimes vision therapy is also prescribed when the focusing problem is
severe enough that additional interventions are also required.
advances in lenses allow children flexibility in the type of bifocal they
choose. Many children still prefer the flat-top bifocal because the line
separating the two powers helps them tell exactly where their distance
prescription ends and their near prescription starts. However, some
children or parents don't like the look of the "line", so for them
progressive no-line bifocals are a good option. The lens is made so that
the change between prescriptions is so gradual no line appears. Another
very popular option is the "half-moon" bifocal.
It has the advantage of a clear delineation between powers liked lined
bifocals but when the glasses are on the child's face, the bifocal is
like progressive lenses.
bifocals or reading glasses are prescribed, it is important that children wear
them for all close work, especially at school and during homework. Sometimes
children will only need the bifocals for a few years as they develop control
of their focusing system. Others may need the additional near-point
support for as long as they are in school and spending a lot of time reading.
are an important tool for optometrists when working with children who spend up
to eight hours a day using their eyes for reading and school work. By
adding an additional lens power for up close, optometrists are able to adjust
children's focusing system to give them better control and eliminate
eyestrain, blurred vision, headaches, and fatigue.

LFCC Breaks Ground on Student Union Building
News Release
For Immediate Release:
Dec. 3, 2012

Communications Specialist
Phone: 540-868-7134
Fax: 540-868-4081
On Wednesday, November 28th, approximately 150 people attended a groundbreaking event, to celebrate the construction in 2013 of the new Student Union Building on the Middletown Campus of Lord Fairfax Community College.
Guest speaker for the event, former Washington Redskins' kicker Mark Moseley, emphasized the importance of LFCC in helping local residents move forward and discover what they want to do with their lives. He encouraged the community to support the campaign to fund the new facility, which will strengthen the student experience and help LFCC accommodate its enrollment growth.
Two LFCC students spoke about the variety of student life activities on campus, including 3 athletics teams – men's and women's soccer, basketball, and rugby. President Cheryl Thompson-Stacy explained that the student body at LFCC is changing, with more 18-22 year olds enrolling and more students attending full time.
The LFCC Foundation is securing a $9 million loan for the project and will repay the loan through a lease with the college, vendor commission payments, and private donations.
LFCC Foundation Executive Director, Liv Heggoy, announced the Breaking New Ground fundraising campaign, with a $3 million goal. "As the fastest growing community college this year, LFCC is meeting the needs of students and families in our region. We also served more employers than any other community college in the state. LFCC is breaking new ground in many exciting ways."
The Student Union will house a lounge, fitness facilities, an expanded bookstore, food service, and the Office of Student Life. It will be built on land owned by the LFCC Foundation, just north of the College's Science and Health Professions building.
The Lord Fairfax Community College Educational Foundation Inc. is an independent, not-for-profit entity dedicated to assisting the College in meeting its current and future needs. Incorporated in 1978, the Foundation is committed to raising funds for academic programs, facility upgrades, equipment, student scholarships and professional development for faculty and staff.

Four-Alarm Brush-Woods Fire In Littleton
Spring is a time that worries fire fighters because the forest and brush are not yet green enough to resist a flame.
That was a problem Wednesday afternoon in Littleton.
Diana Levesque never wants to wake up from a nap this way again.
She was sleeping Wednesday afternoon when she heard noises outside her home high on a hill on the outskirts of Littleton.
Fire trucks were pulling up around her house and there were flames all around.
"The woods are all on fire and the wind is blowing. It was just crazy. I pretty much had a heart attack."
Within 90 minutes or so the fire – on some steep hills and ridges – had gone to four alarms with fire fighters from the state and neighboring towns responding.
Sound of fire fighters coordinating efforts….
That's an unusually large for in the North Country and smoke could be seen for miles.
Fire officials say it is important to check with local fire officials before burning anything outside.

Cops find charred body in CA home after standoff
"I've seen a lot of cars coming and going and a lot of people going in and out of the house," said Wilson, who has lived in the area for more than 60 years. "He was a good guy."
Engert was hired by the landlord to help deputies gain entry to the apartment to serve the eviction notice, Adams said.
"He was there to open the lock," he said.
Law enforcement experts said it's not unusual to have a civilian, such as a locksmith, brought along during the service of an eviction notice. They said it's important for police to know who they are dealing with before knocking on a door.
"To be prudent, make sure the person inside is going along with the program before bringing someone like a locksmith," said Gregory Lee, a retired supervisory special agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration, who runs a consulting firm in Central California.
"The deputy is the messenger; he doesn't have a dog in the fight. Sometimes people attack the uniform, not the person," Lee said.
William Flynn, a retired lieutenant with the West Covina Police Department in Southern California, believes little could have been done if there was no indication the suspect in the Modesto eviction was violent.
"The only edge we have is to be on alert," he said. "If we lose that edge, that's when officers get hurt."
Officers are routinely provided training about executing search warrants. In most cases, agents learn about a suspect's background and their propensity for violence prior to serving the warrant.
The officers also take added precautions by wearing protective gear such as bulletproof vests and mull over scenarios if the person doesn't comply.
In Modesto, Rihanna Brookshire, who lives next door to the shooting scene, said her children had just gone outside to play when the shooting began. Just as they came back into the house and shut the door, they heard a loud bang.
"I thought it was a backfire. We looked outside. My daughter saw a police officer dead on the ground. She said, `Mommy, there's blood everywhere,'" said Brookshire, who was among the residents evacuated.
Associated Press writers Terry Collins and Garance Burke in San Francisco, and Greg Risling in Los Angeles, and researcher Rhonda Shafner in New York contributed to this report.
The Associated Press
