DIBRUGARH: Hundreds of activists of the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samity (KMSS), Takam Mising Porin Kebang (TMPK) and Nari Mukti Sangram Samity ( NMSS) staged a demonstration in front of the office of the deputy commissioner here on Friday.
The organizations were protesting against the lack of measures taken by the government to compensate and rehabilitate the flood-affected people of two forest villages located inside Dibru-Saikhowa National Park in Tinsukia district.
According to records, the two forest villages Laika and Dodhia, located within the precincts of the protected park, with an area of approximately 238 and 135 hectares respectively, is home to around 10,000 families, mostly belonging to the Mising community.
In 1986, Dibru-Saikhow, with an area of 340 sq km was declared as a wildlife sanctuary and in 1999, the bio-diversity hot spot was declared as a national park. Since then the two villages have posed a problem for the park authorities because as per law no human habitat can exist inside a national park. tnnThe plan to relocate the people from the core zone of the park has not been successful so far.
KMSS president Raju Bora said around 3,000 families from the two villages were displaced during the recent floods and were staying in various relief camps. He alleged that no measures have been taken to compensate and rehabilitate the affected people who have lost their homes, land, crops and livestock in the two villages.
The agitators later sent a memorandum to chief minister Tarun Gogoi demanding proper compensation and rehabilitation of the flood-affected people.

Industry: Paper
Incorporated in 1980 and promoted by Shantilal Dave, D Dave and Yeshwant Oza, Shree Ambeshwar Paper Mills (SAPML) manufactures kraft paper with an installed capacity of 16,500 mtpa. The raw material comprises 55% bagasse, 30% imported waste and 15% jute. The kraft paper manufactured by the company is marketed mainly in Gujarat and Maharashtra. To diversify its product base, the company amalgamated with Shree Ambeshwar Chemicals Pvt Ltd on 1 Apr.'93. The merger broad-based SAPML's product portfolio into benzaldehyde (cap.: 720 mtpa), an intermediate used in the manufacture of pesticides, drugs and perfumes. To fund its expansion plans, the company declared a rights issue in 1992, but cancelled it due to unfavourable conditions in the capital market. The expansion was then funded through internal accruals and borrowings from the ICICI. The total installed capacity of Kraft Paper/Board as on 31st March 2002 was 21500 MT.

You put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I'll buy you a new car.Harvey Diamond
For the most part, we carnivores do not eat other carnivores. We prefer to eat our vegetarian friends.Robert Brault
Recognize meat for what it really is: the antibiotic- and pesticide-laden corpse of a tortured animalIngrid Newkirk
I think if you want to eat more meat you should kill it yourself and eat it raw so that you are not blinded by the hypocrisy of having it processed for you.Margi Clark
To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body.Mahatma Gandhi
Think of me tonight For that which you savor Did it give you something real, or could you taste the pain of my death in its flavor?Wayne K. Tolson
I do not like eating meat because I have seen lambs and pigs killed. I saw and felt their pain. They felt the approaching death. I could not bear it. I cried like a child. I ran up a hill and could not breathe. I felt that I was choking. I felt the death of the lambVaslav Nijinsky
It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion.WILLIAM RALPH INGE
I advance no exaggerated or fanciful claim for Vegetarianism. It is not, as some have asserted, a panacea for human ills; it is something much more rational -- an essential part of the modern humanitarian movement, which can make no true progress without it. Vegetarianism is the diet of the future, as flesh-food is the diet of the past.HENRY S. SALT
Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.ALBERT EINSTEIN
People often say that humans have always eaten animals, as if this is a justification for continuing the practice. According to this logic, we should not try to prevent people from murdering other people, since this has also been done since the earliest of times.Isaac Bashevis Singer
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.Gandhi
Among the noblest in the land - Though man may count himself the least - That man I honor and revere, Who without favor, without fear, In the great city dares to stand, The friend of every friendless beast.Henry W. Longfellow
The animals you eat are not those who devour others; you do not eat the carnivorous beasts, you take them as your pattern. You only hunger after sweet and gentle creatures who harm no one, which follow you, serve you, and are devoured by you as the reward of their service.John Jacques Rousseau
There is no disease, bodily or mental, which adoption of vegetable diet, and pure water has not infallibly mitigated, wherever the experiment has been fairly tried.Percy Bysshe Shelley
There is no fundamental difference between man and the higher animals in their mental faculties... The lower animals, like man, manifestly feel pleasure and pain, happiness, and misery.Charles Darwin
Vegetarianism can easily reach religious proportions. Refraining from meat on moral grounds serves to dignify feelings of guilt toward sad-eyed, furry creatures and substitutes righteousness for squeamishness.Bill Griffith
It is necessary to correct the error that vegetarianism has made us weak in mind, or passive or inert in action. I do not regard flesh-food as necessary at any stage.Mahatma Gandhi
Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the death of others. We are burial places! I have since an early age abjured the use of meat.Leonardo da Vinci
Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough.St. Francis of Assisi

- 0Aug 31, '13 by andrea_nursehi chokyali.. im a filipina. im a registered nurse here in ph. i have only 2 years of experience as a nurse staff in the hospital i am working right now. and im planning to take the nursing board exam in hk. but i really dont have any idea of what exam im going to take.. i just want to ask, if the hk exam is just like the nclex exam? and what is all about that practical exam? i really dont have any idea.. please reply.. thanks ang godbless...
- 0Jan 9 by sww0810Hi Maria83, I am currently working in Australia and considering moving back to Hong Kong. I am trained as a nurse to Australia, just saw your post and wondering how did you go with getting registration and working in Hong Kong. It would be great to learn from your experience, if you don't mind.
- 0Mar 2 by DJ Trance AZI just came back from HK and I absolutely would love to work there as well (well for few years at least)...I am certified as an RN here in Toronto and with an MN degree. I currently work with our Ministry but contract will soon be due...
Two years ago I actually applied to write the HK RN Exam; the paper work was brutal but got all the papers for them. However, I forgo the opportunity as I found a job I liked here.
Now I really want to pursue the opportunity again...I kinda quickly glance thru. people's response but I still want more directions from you guys. I am wondering if there are public health nursing jobs in HK...
Anyway, any advice is greatly appreciated!!!
- 0May 29 by katherineinschoolWe have the handbook for the exam, you can buy it online. The better to ask a Chinese friend to do this. We also have advanced role, but have another title, directly translation may be teacher of nurse or administer of nurse( I am not sure how it called to be honest). All the practice nurse have to pass the exam to be qualified as a nurse. However, we have a performing presentation of practice, for instance, to show how to take blood or give injection. But this also have criteria which can be find in handbook.
However, I gonna to say nurse role in China is so different from the US or other Western countries, which have less medical authority and decision making. And the salary is not well enough. Why not try to be a nursing teacher in University of Hong Kong or mainland of China, that is really popular, well respected, well paid job. English won't be a problem, it aims to test non-English speakers.
- 0Jun 23 by herzchenHi, i am a filipina and my visa here is as a dh..i just got the forms needed from the nsg council here in hk and i just wanna ask if the 5 subjects of the licensure exam in the phils and here are the same?because i was thinking that the community nursing might be different like the IMCI?do they also practice those here?..ofcourse the communicable diseases would have a little differences..and about the site others gave for those who wants to prepare for the exam, i guess the speaker would also speak cantonese?
- 0Jun 23 by chokyaliSaunders covers all areas, this was the only review book I used in preparation for the wrtten exam , unfortunately I failed the practical. If you got lucky and have plans of applying in their hospital i don't think they will accept your application beacuse you got a DH visa. I've been there before, i applied in matilda and got an interview but when they learned that my visa is DH I was turned down. Anyway, there's nothing wrong in trying goodluck

Sounds a bit like a thin client to me.Quote:
all you would have to do is make sure each PC could boot and load up this self-contained browser OS
I anticipate Google just becoming the new MS (no conspiracy) as they have shareholders they have to make them money they don't just have one person who can call the shots and do the right thing. I see Google focusing on the 'cloud' so this could be where they're heading with their mini OS browser combo the downside is you have to putup with ads and constant attempts to invade your privacy.
As for IE8 one word 'beta' i think it's worth waiting for the finished product before pulling it to pieces.

"All Around a Great Purchase"
I first saw a movie version of Persuasion over 15 years ago and ever other year I rewatch it. I as hesitant to get an audiobook version fearing the story would be too familiar and I'd grow bored. I'm glad that I took the chance. The narrator is a very talented actress and made the story come alive. The book, as often happens, had details left out of the film that helped fill out secondary characters. I couldn't stop listening.

Taiwan's dollar headed for its biggest weekly loss since June after the Federal Reserve said it will reduce stimulus that's spurred demand for emerging-market assets. Government bonds gained.
The Fed will cut its monthly bond purchases to $75 billion from $85 billion in January, Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said this week. The program is likely to be lowered in $10 billion increments over the next seven central bank meetings before ending in December 2014, the median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg survey shows. Taiwan's record foreign reserves will serve as a buffer against the tapering, according to Jih Sun Securities Co.
"As the Fed tapers its stimulus gradually, funds will move from emerging to developed markets," said Michelle Tsai, a Taipei-based economist at Jih Sun Securities. "No Asian economy will be able to avoid this, but places with higher foreign reserves like Taiwan will be relatively resilient."
Taiwan's dollar depreciated 0.7 percent this week to NT$29.910 against the greenback as of 10:07 a.m. in Taipei, prices from Taipei Forex Inc. show. That's the biggest weekly decline since the five days ended June 21.
Overseas funds sold $5.3 million more Taiwanese stocks than they bought this week, trimming net purchases this month to $841 million, exchange data show. The central bank will focus on preventing large fund outflows at next week's quarterly board meeting, the Economic Daily News reported, citing unidentified government officials.
Bond Calendar
Taiwan's foreign-exchange reserves climbed to $415 billion this year, from $403 billion in December 2012, official data show. That compares with $266 billion in January 2007 before the onset of the global financial crisis.
The island's currency advanced 0.1 percent today. It slipped 0.4 percent in the last 15 minutes of trading yesterday amid suspected central bank intervention. The monetary authority has sold the local dollar in the run-up to the close on most days since March 2012, according to traders who asked not to be identified.
One-month non-deliverable forwards for Taiwan's currency declined 1 percent this week to NT$29.868 per dollar, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That's the biggest five-day slide since June 21 and the weakest level since Sept. 2. The contracts were little changed today.
One-month implied volatility, a gauge of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, jumped 34 basis points this week and 18 basis points today to 3.52 percent.
Taiwan's government will announce next year's bond issuance plan on Dec. 23. The yield on the 1.25 percent sovereign notes due October 2018 dropped four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, this week to 1.048 percent, according to Gretai Securities Market. The rate was little changed today.
The central bank will announce its policy rate decision on Dec. 26, with all 22 economists surveyed by Bloomberg predicting borrowing costs will be kept at 1.875 percent. The overnight interbank lending rate was little changed this week and today at 0.388 percent, a weighted average compiled by the Taiwan Interbank Money Center showed.

Lost Round Table: "What Kate Does"by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Welcome to the latest edition of the Lost Round Table!
As previously reviewed, we didn't love "What Kate Does," but the episode still raised a number of questions and, at least peripherally, supplied a few answers.
A few of our staff members have gathered below to analyze various developments in-depth. Reader feedback on these topics is encouraged...
Did you miss Fake Locke on this episode?
M.L. House: Yes. I'm all for a focused narrative and have always applauded Lost for its dedication to individual character development. But Kate's backstory has always been my least favorite, it wasn't enjoyable to watch another version of it play out for a majority of the episode.
LJ Gibbs: Locke? Oh, was there an episode of Lost on last night? I thought I was watching Kate & Allie 2: Sans Allie.
Mr. Probst: While watching it never occurred to me that he wasn't in the episode. Had the ending not been so dynamic, I might have thrown something at the TV for not making the episode worthwhile by having him in it. Fortunately, the writers threw in that great bombshell of an ending to make me forget all about FLocke.
What does it mean for Sayid to have been "claimed?"
M.L. House: The guy has to be possessed... by Jacob? (I refuse to let that idea die, dammit!) Claire seems to have more in common with Rousseau than the same hair stylist, so my guess is that someone gets infected when he/she is "claimed" by a deceased individual. Makes perfect sense!
LJ Gibbs: It means he's moving on to the next rose ceremony!
Mr. Probst: The Lost writers placed Sayid on waivers hoping he would clear so they could trade him to House for Dr. Kutner (who House still retains the rights to). Sayid's time, while dead on the show, is a euphemism for when he was on waivers. Unfortunately for Lost, NCIS put in a claim on Sayid and Lost had to pull him back from waivers and keep him on the show. That's why Sayid was reincarnated.
Funniest Miles line of the night: The reference to the food court or the joy over Hurley as the group's leader?
M.L. House: The sarcastic Hurley dig. Both funny and it made me think: What if Hurley had made every decision instead of Jack? We'd be seeing intense games of jungle golf every week.
LJ Gibbs: Because the food court line was not only funny, but also tied in Hurley indirectly by referencing food, that line wins.
Mr. Probst: Reference to the food court. It was like a scene out of Survivor when the castaways fantasize about food. These Losties must be hungry, right? We never see them eat. Funniest line of the night by any character was Kate/Jin's angry escort sarcastically asking: "Is this a press conference?"
Will Sawyer ever return to the temple?
M.L. House: No, but I doubt the rest of his cohorts are long for the temple themselves. If they remain there for too many episodes, this will start to grow eerily similar to the cages in season three.
LJ Gibbs: I hope so. Given his weepy dock moment last night, I'm fairly certain he left his balls back there.
Mr. Probst: MIB/smokey will transform into Juliet (much like MIB/smokey has done as FLocke) in order to manipulate Sawyer like it/he did as Alex and Locke with Ben. He'll/it'll need Sawyer to do something devious for him in the temple and he'll use Juliet's likeness to play on Sawyer's emotions to get him to do his/its bidding. Everyone's favorite hero in this Greek tragedy will not realize his mistake until it's too late.
Will Jack give Sayid the poison pill?
M.L. House: Can we take a moment to acknowledge the changes in Jack? He admitted that he barely trusts himself and seemed aware that he was in need of redemption. There's hope for this stubborn doctor yet! To answer your question: I don't know.
LJ Gibbs: Because it's Jack, he'll probably focus on boring Infected Sayid to death instead.
Mr. Probst: Despite his uncharacteristic move to force the Asian guy's hand by attempting to swallow the pill himself, Jack is lame and rarely does anything controversial, such poison his friend (who everyone conveniently forgets is miraculously alive to begin with, and treats him like everything with him is normal again).

Dan, that idea crossed my mind as well. My only hesitation is that if Sayid and Claire are both "infected" that means that both Claire and Rousseau died at some point, as Sayid did. Rather, I think that Sayid and Claire's infection is what happened to Rousseau's clan. Claire is definitely the wrench in my theory because the writers are certainly trying to get us to buy that Claire is the new Rousseau by the way they ended the episode. "They" even stole her baby, much like Rousseau.
I think that this "infection" is the same disease we've been hearing about since season 1. In the first season Rousseau said that her entire crew caught something and went crazy so she had to kill them. What if SHE is the one who caught something and went crazy? I think this darkness infection or whatever it is is what made her kill everyone and therefore she was crazy the entire time she was with the survivors. So i think that when claire disappeared and then showed up in the cabin (which we now know was bad since that wasnt jacob she was with) she was being infected the same way Rousseau and Sayid were. I think this infection is how MIB get people on his side of whatever eternal battle is going on with him and jacob. So when we saw Claire in the woods (right after asian temple guy said the infection claimed her) i think thats her replacing rousseau. Just someone tell me that at least made sense.
Come on, ML House, Jack sucks! Let him go!

The Best Museums in Italy
A list of the most visited museums in Italy, with pictures. For some, "the most popular" means "the best", and these are definitely some of the most famous Italian museums. Top museums are often major tourist attractions, and can be a museum of natural history, art, science, or many others. Early museums were collections owned by private individuals. Whether these collections were open to the public was up to the owner. Today, museums are institutions dedicated to the study and exhibition of art, artifacts, and other objects of importance. One can only imagine the collections necessary to make the museums on this list some of the most popular in the world.

Q . How can I check the amount of memory I have in my computer? I used to have a pink and blue pie chart of the space used and how much was free, but I can't seem to remember how to get to that.
A. Hard drive space and memory (RAM, which is short for Random Access Memory) are two different items, though they are frequently confused. Think of your hard drive as long-term storage and memory (RAM) as short-term. Your hard drive is where all your data files and software programs reside. It doesn't matter if your computer is on or off, that data remains on your hard drive.
When you're using a program, it emerges from its long-term storage on the hard drive and moves into short-term memory (RAM) for ease of use and speed of access. When your PC is shut off, nothing in memory is retained. That's why it's a good idea, even if you leave your computer on all the time, to periodically purge your system's memory by restarting your system.
To check your hard drive space, open My Computer, right-click your C: drive, and select Properties. On the pie chart that represents your hard drive, you'll see free space in pink and used space in blue.
To check how much memory is installed in your system, go to your Control Panel and double-click the System icon. RAM appears in the Computer Section of the System Properties screen.
Q. What's the story behind all the weird words that appear in the text of spam? I got one today that read: "His acquirements entitled him to the honour. The Admiral's kind urgency turned him on shore." What does that jibberish accomplish?
A. Those types of nonsensical messages are an attempt by spammers to circumvent content filters used by spam blockers. Spam filters, which are based on Bayesian algorithms, attempt to determine the context of words that are possible spam triggers. (As an aside, if you've never had a Bayesian algorithm, try it lightly breaded with a lemon-butter sauce. It's to die for.)
For example, if an email contains the words "Order Viagra!!!" it's easy for a content blocker to evaluate those words and delete the message as spam. But if those same words are buried in an avalanche of meaningless text, the job of determining whether or not a message is legitimate becomes more difficult. So spammers send out millions of nonsense messages to attempt to bewitch, bother, and bewilder content filters. They then quantify the number of undeliverable messages that bounce back, which lets them know how many were successfully delivered. Spammers then adjust their diabolical techniques accordingly, paving the way for even more spam. Lucky us.

A U.S. Navy cargo ship operated by the Navy's Sealift Command fired on a pleasure boat off the coast of Dubai, killing one person and injuring three others, a U.S. official said.
The U.S. ship shot at the boat after issuing a series of warnings by voice, radio, and lights not to get too close, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss an issue that is still being investigated. Such ships are operated primarily by a civilian crew, the official said.
The ship was operating in the U.S. Central Command's area of responsibility and it wasn't clear when the incident took place, the official said.

18.12.04 - By Matthew Hurley: This Saturday night's bout between light heavyweights Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson has slowly built itself into an intriguing match up. There are a few reasons for this, the main one being boxing fans need to cleanse themselves of the recent stink of heavyweight nonsense. Anyone who paid for the two most recent heavyweight bore-athons need a night of good, technical boxing between two good fighters intent on proving their worth. Johnson is a vastly underrated fighter with a swarming style who finally achieved fistic vindication when he simply overwhelmed Roy Jones in his last bout. Tarver is a talented fighter with a motor-mouth who struck lighting in a bottle by knocking Jones out in the second round of their rematch. The question is, do their respective fights against Jones indicate anything as to how they match up against each other?
If you listen to any amount of the verbiage that spills from Antonio Tarver's mouth you come away from the supremely confident fighter either entirely convinced that he's as good as he says he is or that his words just might be all sound and fury signifying not much at all. Is he as good as he seems to think he is? Or did he simply catch a fighter at the end of his career (it had to end sometime) with a perfect punch? Add on to that the fact that Jones' chin had never really been tested before and you're left with the rest of Tarver's career. But to back peddle just a bit, there should be no taking away from his victory over Jones. It was a colossal feat and if he beats Johnson it would probably put him at the front of the line for fighter of the year honors. Yet there just seems to be some questions left to be answered about the self-professed "Magic Man". Questions that perhaps, the swarming, energetic Johnson can answer.
Johnson is a fighter whose record belies his ability. Several of his losses are the result of questionable decisions and if his style is indicative of how this fight will go it should serve him well. Tarver is a notoriously slow starter. Forget the knockout of Jones. Had he not landed that punch in the second round he would have lumbered after Jones for round after round until he caught him. The difference with Johnson is that he won't be backing up. He'll be right in Tarver's face, punching in bunches and piling up points. Should Tarver resort to his pre-Jones method of simply falling asleep he could find himself losing round after round to his busier opponent. And as for Tarver's vaunted punching power one has to again wonder whether or not he simply caught a great fighter in Jones not only with a perfect punch but with a punch that shattered a chin of glass.
The old adage that styles make fights truly applies to this bout. For all of Antonio Tarver's bravado he is not a seek-and-destroy fighter in the Thomas Hearns mold. His style is almost patient to a fault. Looking, looking, searching for an opening and ultimately giving away rounds when he should be moving his hands. Johnson on the other hand is a no-nonsense fighter who consistently comes forward and throws punches until you would assume his energy level will collapse. But it doesn't. He just keeps coming. Tarver is the more talented and more disciplined of the two boxers but such blessings do not always lead to the expected result. One fighter's greater will can potentially cancel out skill and athleticism. That fact encompasses not just boxing but all sports.
If Tarver is as good as he thinks he is he should beat the on-rushing Johnson back and knock him out in the mid rounds. However, the feeling here is that he's not quite as good as his ego would have us believe. Look for Johnson to challenge Tarver right from the opening bell and never let the "Magic Man" get his footing or catch his breath. And if this prediction should prevail don't call it an upset because this bout, between the two best light heavyweights in the division, is more of a toss-up than many would have you believe.

By Andy Borowitz
In a daring bid to wrench attention from his Democratic rival in the 2008 presidential race, Sen. John McCain today embarked on a historic first-ever visit to the Internet.
Given that the Arizona Republican had never logged onto the Internet before, advisers acknowledged that his first foray into the World Wide Web was fraught with risk. But with his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, making headlines with his tour of the Middle East and Europe, the McCain campaign felt that it needed to "come up with something equally bold for John to do," according to one adviser.
McCain aides said that the senator's journey to the Internet will span five days and will take him to such far-flung sites as Amazon, eBay and Facebook.
With a press retinue watching, Sen. McCain logged onto the Internet at 9 a.m. Sunday, going first to MapQuest.
"I can't get this [expletive] thing to work," Sen. McCain said as he struggled with his computer's mouse, causing his wife, Cindy, to prompt him to add that he was "just kidding."
Having pronounced his visit to MapQuest a success, Sen. McCain continued his tour by visiting Weather.com and Yahoo Answers, where he inquired as to the difference between Sunnis and Shiites.
Sen. McCain said that he had embarked on his visit to the Internet to allay any fears that he is too out of touch to be president, adding that he plans to take additional steps to demonstrate that he is comfortable with today's technology: "In the days and weeks ahead, you will be seeing me rock out with my new Walkman."

Man accused of stealing Lottery ticketsOctober 09,2013BENNINGTON — A Manchester man who was arrested as part of a drug sweep in Bennington County last month was arraigned on new charges on Tuesday.
Daniel Reddan, 31, of Manchester, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to two misdemeanor counts of petty larceny and one misdemeanor count each of possession of a stimulant drug and violating the conditions of his release from custody.
In an affidavit, Cpl. James Blanchard of the Manchester Police Department said police were called on Monday around 2:10 p.m. by the manager of the Rite Aid pharmacy on Main Street. The manager told police that she believed Reddan had been in the store Monday and Sunday and taken lottery tickets.
Blanchard said video surveillance footage from the store seemed to show Reddan reaching behind a counter and taking lottery tickets. The manager told Blanchard she believed about $75 in tickets had been taken.
Police were able to arrest Reddan when he went to a nearby convenience store whose employees were told Reddan might come in to try to turn in lottery tickets, Blanchard said.
At the store, Blanchard noticed blue fluid dripping from Reddan's nostrils.
"I asked him why the inside of his nose was blue. He initially stated that he did not know. He then stated that he had just snorted an Aderall pill," Blanchard said.
When Reddan was arraigned on Sept. 30 for possession and sale of heroin, he was ordered not to have or use regulated drugs without a prescription.
Reddan was released without bail on Tuesday.MORE IN This Just InThe Rutland High School varsity cheerleading team is taking their high energy, attention-grabbing...

Can any Sunni explain this Sunni hadith on poison
Salamu alaikum, what do you Sunnis have to say about this hadith from your books.
Sahih al-Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 713:
Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O 'Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison."
end quote.
This is a huge problem! This hadith seems to be claiming the Prophet(SAWW) died of poison! More troubling the battle of Khaiber happened in 6 AH (628 C.E.) and the Prophet(SAWW) passed away in 10 AH (632 C.E.). Poison is a fast act thing, it is not a chronic illness! So if the Prophet(SAWW) allegedly ate poison food (nazobillah) which a Prophet(SAWW) of God wouldn't do in the first place, wouldn't he(SAWW) have died right then. There is no poison I've ever heard of that acts over a 4 year period and allows someone to live normally and then all of a sudden die!

{"And is one who was dead and We gave him life and made for him light by which to walk among the people like one who is in darkness, never to emerge therefrom? Thus it has been made pleasing to the disbelievers that which they were doing.'"}

If only you took some poison in the very near future and did everybody else a favour here.
- 15th October 2008 #4
Very nice bros, but no answer. You ever heard of a poison that acts as chronic disease over 4 years?! I'll let you get back to your lizard eating and miswaking (colgate and modern teeth cleaning is an agent of the infidels right). OH let me get away from your breath!!!
- 15th October 2008 #5
Why don't you bring us some proof to show that poison cannot act over a period of 4 years?
- 15th October 2008 #6
First I recommend you go to this link: http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamo...mad_poison.htm that refutes your sunni views! Your corrupted Sunni hadith says eat "dates" and you'll be allegedly protected from poison and black magic. Your own Sunni books that you consider Sahih (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim) then say the Prophet(SAWW) ate dates and was still allegedly affected by black magic and poison! Also just read any medical handbook or warning that says "call immediately if you ingest poison"! The reason for this is poison can kill you very quickly; why don't you find any medical source that says there is some alleged "poison" that acts over 4 years and will go and come like a chronic illness?!

There is no problem with the Miswak; but it was for that time we have better technological advances via toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, etc. This is the same say for example with camels. The Prophet(SAWW) and those around him would've used camels and sometimes horses for travel. That doesn't mean we should use camels for travel today, when we have the ability to use better more effective transportation methods like automobiles, planes, boats, etc. So using a miswak today in 2008 C.E. is silly and just reflects backwards thinking that says technology is allegedly a bad "bida"!

So cheap and I always get compliments when I wear it ! A brownish color with a hint of pink. Perfect for fall and goes with absolutely any skin color.
I totally LOVE sinful polishes for the simple fact of having the most unique shades at dirt cheap prices and the quality of expensive ones. I especially love the glitter polishes and make a beeline right to the cosmetic department at walmart as soon as I hit the door! A++++
I love this colour with just one coat - it's sheer and glossy, a bit similar to OPI Gouda Gouda Two Shoes but without the shimmer. Two coats makes it opaque, but a bit more 'brick' coloured.
I agree it becomes dull after drying completely, and would recommend a topcoat for a shiny finish.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I give this polish mixed reviews. The color is gorgeous. A save rosy/brown neutral that would look good on just about every skin tone. It gives a pop of color but doesn't come across as garish or flashy. Very pretty.
Application is easy without streaks, but it took no less than 4 coats get opaque coverage. I also noticed it wears off easily. Also, for some odd reason it doesn't seem to set well on my nails. I applied it in the morning and the shine looked decent all day. When I woke up the next morning, it was dull and matte looking. I applied another coat of color and by lunchtime it was starting to wear again. I've given it a layer of clear top coat and I'm hoping this will preserve the finish.
I'd buy it again, but it does take a bit of work to keep it looking good for more than a day or two.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My favorite of the dozen or so Sinful Color nail polishes I own. Vacation Time is a beautiful dusty rose that is perfect for everyday wear. Application is great and dry time is normal.

A perfect pink/nude toned opaque polish when i want that clean look or i know i wont be able to do a new mani for a while as it doesnt show much when it eventually chips. Heard its a dupe for a popular opi polish and its much much cheaper.

More from my Sinful Colors haul we have Vacation Time. I don't know about the name because it makes me think of work- as in I could wear this to work, no problems- more than vacation time. It's gorgeous and smooth and nearly dusky which makes it a really pleasant near-neutral (I say neutral not nude) for me. Application was easy and I didn't have problems with it. This is a favorite for me; it's just so feminine and understated.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Got this at walgreens for $0.99. I was looking for a nice coral/orange polish and this is perfect, not too pink, not too orange! Great quality too. It's opaque with 2 coats, stays on quiet well without a base coat or a top coat! Love it!!
More reviews by Stephanieclarise
I purchased this polish on sale for 99cents. The really liked this nail polish! It's a gorgeous nude pink that complements my tan skin tone really nicely. The consistency is watery which I really liked because it made the polish easy to apply. And the color was opaque with the first coat. The polish dried surprisingly quickly as well. The polish is amazing quality and dirt cheap!
I LOVE this polish...it looks like a pretty nude pink on my nails..it is a lot darker in the bottle. I have to use 2 coats of this but it stays on my nails for at least 4 days before chipping. I bought this a my local grocery store because I really needed nail polish and this was the last bottle in stock so I grabbed it.

Wendell Campbell, the prominent Chicago-based architect, died of natural causes at his home on July 9. He was 81.
Some of Campbell's notable projects include the DuSable Museum of African American History, the New Bronzeville Military Academy, and the Metcalf Federal Building, all in Chicago. He also developed urban planning strategies for Chicago, New Orleans, Detroit, and Milwaukee. Campbell graduated from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1957 and founded Wendell Campbell Associates in 1966. The firm was later renamed Campbell and Mascal, then Campbell Tiu Campbell. He was named a fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 1979.
Campbell was a founder of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) in 1971 and served as the group's first president, becoming a leading voice in advocating diversity in architecture. He was a devoted mentor to many younger architects and an active community leader, serving on the boards of NOMA, Mercy Hospital and Medical Center, the Black Ensemble Theatre, AIA Chicago, the Chicago Architectural Assistance Center, and the South Side YMCA, where he would regularly swim.

It actually depends on how the rest of your report looks. I have 10 or so real hard inquiries on my TransUnion report, and CreditKarma previously showed them all, but the number has been gradually decreasing. Now it only shows 1 hard inquiry, even though my official report still shows all 10.
It's just a software issue though. Lenders can still see them.

You haven't had AA, but you have been denied credit. Go to Equifax and pull directly from there to see what is on your reports right now and how long that report looks. That thing must really scare lenders because it looks like you need credit to live and that you are applying until someone gives it to you.
And about your wish list, just consider this: if you had applied strategically from the start, you might already have every card on there. I hate to be harsh in a situation where you clearly get the need for you to stop applying. But you said that you just applied for another card this week. The realization needs to hit you that your behavior isn't normal and will continue to be frowned upon by lenders of all shapes and sizes for probably over a year. Please be strategic going forward, sit on your hands for the next year, and don't be too mad at me for being truthful.

"A great recipe and rather good cookies. The texture is nice and they remain soft after cooling. I do feel like the recipe could use another 1/2 cup of oats and 1/4 cup less white sugar. I used a non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening to reduce the LDL (bad cholesterol) and get rid of the trans fats."
"I also reduced the cocoa to 1/4 C. & chocolate chips to 1/3 C. It came out quite good, very moist! Though I did have to bake it for about 40 min."

Ask Dr. H: "Is the University Structure Hurting Science?"
[Ed. Note: This is the first in a series of blogs entitled "Ask the President's Science Advisor." In this first week of a new foray in public engagement, Dr. Holdren chose a tweet from @BjFreeman24 about challenges with the way universities are structured and if that is negatively affecting science and innovation. To have your question considered for this feature, you can e-mail your short query to email@example.com or tweet @whitehouseostp using the hashtag #AskDrH. The question selected will be posted in the blog above Dr. Holdren's answer.]
BjFreeman24: @whitehouseostp #AskDrH The university structure is killing science. Ego and bureaucracy override diverse, original ideas. What can be done?
While I don't agree that the "university structure is killing science," I do believe that federal research agencies and universities should always be looking for new ways to support diverse, original ideas. As part of his national innovation strategy, President Obama has asked federal agencies to increase their support for multidisciplinary research, early investigators, and high-risk, high-return research. For example, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Pioneer and New Innovator awards provide support for creative researchers with ideas for projects that have the potential for unusually high impact.
The NIH and National Science Foundation have recently released a joint solicitation encouraging proposals at the intersection of biology and the physical sciences and engineering, in areas such as biological computing and biologically-inspired materials. Universities are also taking some important steps by allocating new faculty positions and lab space to support multidisciplinary research themes. OSTP welcomes suggestions for additional steps that the federal government should be taking to foster creativity and high-impact research.
John P. Holdren is Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
