Solemnity is the mood in old city with hardly a few days left for Muharram
An air of solemnity is engulfing parts of the old city. With hardly a few days left for Muharram, the first month of Islamic calendar to begin, the numerous Ashoorkhanas here are abuzz with activity. Once the new moon is sighted, it will be black all the way – the mood, the attire and the ambience.
Muharram is mourning time for the Shia community. It is time for 'tark-e-lazzat' (abstinence) and a halt to culinary delights and celebrations. The Shia dominated areas of Dar-ul-Shifa, Yakutpura, Noor Khan Bazar, Mandi Mir Alam, Irani Galli, Moula Ali present a picture of grief. The three lakh strong Shias come together in 'matam' like never before. Even a casual visitor can't miss the sorrowful look here.
Touching chapter
Sure, Muharram remains a touching chapter in the Islamic history. The Shias mourn the martyrdom of Hazrath Imam Husain, the grandson of the Prophet, and 72 others in the battle of Karbala waged in Iraq centuries ago.
If Ramzan is celebrated with gusto, poignancy marks Muharram. Right from the Qutb Shahi times, Muharram is observed in Hyderabad in literally heart-rending manner. The Nizams, who married the Shia women, built a number of Ashoorkhanas, the place where the 'Alam' (copies of battle standards) are installed, all over Hyderabad and Telangana.
The city boasts of 125 Ashoorkhanas, most of which are more than 400 years old. They witness intense religious activity and become centres for expression of grief publicly. Also known as Astana, Bargah and Immbara, they served as hub of socio-cultural activities during the Qutub Shahi period. They were also responsible for evolution of 'marsiya', a form of poetry, whose leitmotif is the tragedy of Karbala.
The Badshahi Ashook Khana at Patharghatti built by city founder, Mohd Quli Qutub Shah, is the oldest one. The other important Ashoorkhanas include Bibi Ka Alawa, Alawa-e-Khadme Rasool, Aza Khana Zehra.
What exactly happens here? Well, the Shias indulge in 'azadari' (mourning) and 'seena-zani' (chest beating) to cries of "Ya Husain". For 68 days after the commencement of Muharram, Shia homes and Ashoorkhanas reverberate with unbridled emotion. The 'zakareen' (orators) recall the Karbala events in chilling detail during the 'Majalis' sessions moving the audience to tears.
"Throughout the year also some activity or the other goes on in the Ashoorkhanas," says Syed Hamed Hussain Jaffery, president, A.P. Shia Youth Conference.
The highlight of the month is 'Youme Ashoora' observed on the 10th of Muharram with the historic Bibi ka Alam taken out on a caparisoned elephant from Bibi ka Alwa in Dabeerpura to Masjide Ilahi at Chaderghat.
The 65-year-old elephant, Rajni, belonging to the Nizam Trust, is getting ready for the procession. On the 4th of Muharram it will be taken out on the procession route just to acclimatise it to the crowd.

In the letter I wrote about what I think all health professionals need to know about someone who is in an acute psychotic episode.
The letter echoes a remark I made in 2011 to health reporter, Andre Picard. In his article about the practice of restraining patients who are in acute psychosis, I explained "I may be crazy but I'm not deaf. Good caregivers can be forceful and still respectful." This is at the crux of my open letter: compassion is as healing as the medications we take and the services we receive. More so at times.

excellent value
By tony
from Pasadena
I have spent over $120 for blades that are no better than this one. Of course carbide can't be (economically) sharpened.I made the comment because the blade has not warped ,nor lost teeth. So it is a potential candidate for sharpening.I used it for lots of p.t. wood, Trex and hit a few hidden nails when reclaiming used wood. It still works but is slow now.What a pity to just dump it.
well worth the cost

Good blade for the money
By Nordic Boats
from Grass Valley Ca
I use this blade on my 12" miter saw. It gives a good clean cut. I don't see any difference between this blade and the expense brand name blades.

Nerve Pain Management is an advanced treatment option for shooting pain from sciatica and herpetic neuralgia. It is for topical application and formulated to provide immediate and long term results. Not only all natural, but made with certified organic ingredients, it is truly one of a kind. Results are guaranteed. • Anti-inflammatory Medicinal Plant Extracts • Lipophilic Remedy Penetrates Deep into Skin Tissue • Extremely Fast actingNerve Pain Management is to be applied topically to areas of pain and gently rubbed into the skin. It is very safe and works to stimulate the body's natural healing power to ease nerve pain and restore health. It aims to balance the system and restore well-being.The success of Nerve Pain Management (NPM) rests in its proprietary formulation and certified organic ingredients. It is comprised of certified organic homeopathic medicines which stimulate an anti- inflammatory effect and certified organic medicinal plant extracts which are extremely calming and soothing. This unique combination produces results time after time. NPM works to ease nerve pain by treating the whole system and provide deep healing results. Application aims to minimize the frequency and severity of neuralgia/sciatica attacks by balancing the system. The therapeutic objective is total reversal of the condition altogether. As a result, the homeopathic medicines in this treatment target a curative effect against nerve pain.The effectiveness of the homeopathic extracts in NPM to ease pain in the nerve endings is becoming more established and used amongst homeopathic doctors. Active ingredients in this medicinal treatment include certified organic Hypericum Perforatum and Silica. These are especially valuable to ease pain in the nerve endings and concentrated in NPM.Topical application of NPM provides fast action to deliver a localized effect to the area of pain. Ingredients in this treatment have lipophilic tendencies and a low molecular weight. This allows rapid absorption into the cellular membranes to provide deep penetrating action. These naturally occurring compounds are wonderfully soothing and healing. They work to provide deep penetrating relief.

Just hang in there mate..Just one more match left..then its back to good old test cricket.
I've been completely off Cricket (and onto Golf) for a month or two, myself. I haven't seen more than a minute of the Twenty20 World Cup, and I'm happy about that. That minute was a short highlight of Clarke being dismissed on the news, this morning.
The problem is, it won't go away. I have to suffer because of some bloody Indian's (not being racist) and other idiots who want to watch some quick hacks for entertainment.
I wish it'd all go away as well, but quite frankly, we can't do anything about it. When it's watched, it's played.
You mentioned it yourself, you watched a minute of the Twenty20 World Cup. Why does it bother you if it hardly disrupts your routine? Everyone has the choice of how much Twenty20 cricket to pay attention too. The population of Australia is almost hidden from the format, World Cups played in early morning, IPL played in the middle of the night on a channel not everyone has access too, KFC Big Bash only shown on pay-TV. You almost have to make a serious effort to catch the format in Australia.
Twenty20 cricket, like all sport, is a form of entertainment. Funny how numerous people find it entertaining.

20/20 gets so boring after a while. they have made it so easy for the batsmen to hit sixes. In ODI or a test hitting a six is a special thing, but in 20/20 its nothing, even the commentators get bored if you notice, they dont comment as much

text: 4.5 Killingly good RJNeb2 | 20/04/2013 | See all RJNeb2's reviews (702) A gorgeous musing (admittedly at great length) on the nature of celebrity and how it can be turned against you. Jesse James was killed by one of his own acolytes, a young man who he brought into his home and nurtured. Obviously this has repercussions on our own celebrity culture today but this is an excuse to wallow in an exquisitely rendered evocation of past times where violence is never far away. Pitt is stunning as Jesse James, part charming, part psychotic and racked with insecurities, Affleck is equally good as his shiftless nemesis, and Roger Deakins' photography is the real capping on this genuine work of art.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Police said a Nashville restaurant owner was fatally shot yesterday after an apparent robbery attempt.
A customer who had stopped by Spudz restaurant around 4 p.m. discovered 36-year-old Eric Lamont Brown in an alley behind the restaurant.
Police spokeswoman Kristin Mumford said Brown had a gunshot wound to the chest.
He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.
Mumford said Brown may have been shot during a robbery, but police are exploring other motives.
She said detectives were using surveillance video to pursue other leads.

In comparing American's presence at LAX with its presence at JFK, the latter benefits from domination on the JFK-London Heathrow route, the top international route from the U.S., with 2.7 million passengers in 2012. (LAX-Heathrow, the second-busiest route, had 1.4 million passengers). At LAX, Mann said, "American faces the same issues as it does at JFK, albeit without the JFK-Heathrow goldmine funding much of it."
Nevertheless, he said: "With the right amounts of regional, mainline domestic and international flying, American could carve out AA/Oneworld shares that pass for more than a fair share of a fragmented gateway. It doesn't have to be a United/Newark Airport scenario," where a single airline dominates a global gateway. "It's never likely to be that."

90210 Review: True Confessionsby Arlene G. at . Comments
Remind me to never go to a costume party in Beverly Hills because if there's one thing "It's the Great Masquerade, Naomi Clarke" taught me, it's that everyone always has something hidden.
And, sooner or later, that mask gets ripped off.
Naomi agreed to join forces with her arch enemy Holly this week in order to throw CU's masquerade ball. Like we didn't know THAT was going to end tragically. Sweet as pie and a little too agreeable, I knew Holly was up to no good. And she didn't prove me wrong when those coy little texts started popping up on the video screens at the ball.
Seemingly from Austin, Naomi jumped at the bait. Wasn't it only a week ago that she was dumped by the love of her life, Max? How quickly she forgot. Festering over Austin now, she immediately made a fool of herself, courtesy of Holly.
Naomi may have thought she had the last laugh by having Holly kicked out of the party... but Holly turned the tables on her. After squealing to the dean about the rampant nudity, open flames and all around fun happening at the party, the dean took Naomi's student council presidency title away and gave it right back to Holly. Gotta admit the girl can play a mean snake when push comes to shove.
Screw the dean and Holly. Carnival WAS kick ass and the music was killer. And I did wish I was there, like the banners said. In the end, Naomi got Austin. Or so it seemed.
Adrianna tried to play good cop to Dixon's bad ways. I loved the costumes they wore to the ball reversing those roles. And while it seemed that Adrianna had maybe succeeded in breaking Dixon's ADHD habit, we all knew that monkey was jumping all over his back. No sooner was Ade gone from his side when he was back to doing the good stuff. How else could he spin those jams?
I like the possibility of Ade and Dixon getting together though. Oddly enough, they seem right for each other. And finally some flavor on 90210!
The ab-fest going on between Liam and Austin, meanwhile? Hilarious. I'll take Austin, please. While the humble mode that Liam took was a bit much, he finally succumbed to revealing himself as AbMan in the end. Nothing like the lure of cash to get you to forget about your "principles." It was for the bar after all.
Silver and Navid continued their fight over Navid's nefarious dealings with Uncle Amal. Silver didn't get why Navid had supposedly lied to her. Umm... because he didn't want her killed like Amal had threatened to do previously? But, of course, Silver was on her high horse again. Wonder how light the air is up there? Especially after finding out the truth about bug-eyed Brandy's aka Marissa Harris-Young's campaign videos. Can we all just admit that we don't care about that storyline. B-O-R-I-N-G.
Annie tossed ex-customer/new boyfriend Patrick away because he was imposing on her freedom too much. Like we were supposed to believe that a man who could pass for her dad would be that ga-ga over Annie. Ludicrous much? And how creepy was Perez Hilton? Like a jacked-up Joker with his tacky plaid suit. Stay behind the computer screen please.
And finally Ivy (who looked stunning in her costume) seemed to be questioning her future with Raj. Seen only in a photoshopped picture, Raj was nonexistent in this week's episode. Much like he's going to be in the future it seemed. Especially since Nick, the freelance photographer, once again made an appearance and occupied much of Ivy's thoughts. Get set for a future romance.
They say the truth shall set you free. We'll see about that.
naomi could have been referring to liam when she mentioned the 'other time she fell hard for a guy' and about her messing up so bad n him walking away... makes more sense seeing as max only left a week ago haha and in truth she messed up with liam way more than she did with max anyway..
"I like the possibility of Ade and Dixon getting together though. Oddly enough, they seem right for each other. And finally some flavor on 90210!" "But, of course, Silver was on her high horse again. Wonder how light the air is up there?" TV Fanatic, you've won me over yet again. Keep up the good work!!!
-Brandy is just meh.. need her to go asap.
-Not buying those Naomi-Austin-sexy-cowboy stuff. lame..
-Annie and that old guy? seriously?
-lots of weird costumes/props/sls this season.
Unlike some people here I actually think the Naomi and Austin story-line makes sense. Naomi didn't mourn about her break up with Max because he WASN'T the love of her life. I love the geek chic and I'm kind of a nerd myself but in my opinion Max and Naomi were wrong for each other, Naomi needs a man and Max wasn't man enough. Austin on the other hand is perfect for her, the attraction they have for each other is intoxicating, and I know Austin seems like a player but I don't think he is, not really.
anyways I can't wait for next week's episode and I really think Dixon and Adrianna would make a great couple.
I thought this was a good episode except I hated how it lacked the element of Max. We didn't see Naomi the least bit feeling bad or any form of regret on what happened between her and Max in the last episode. And that's surprising considering she called him the love of her life. I appreciated the relationship between Max and Naomi because I felt like it was a step forward for this character. Now that she's getting together with Austin, I feel like she's moving back again. It's disappointing.
So disappointed in Naomi, sheesh wasn't it just a week ago that the "love of her life' walked away from her and she is already set to chase Austin..speaking of Austin wasn't he just hitting on a group of girls at the bar???? Wow what happened to Naomi, did she lose her brain or just naive? Holly might be the bitch, but what she said about Austin was spot on...(mm lets think back a few epi's ago when he used Naomi to dump Holly.) Austing is NOT Max, he likes to play games and likes to have the upper hand. Everything seems to be a game with him, I have a feeling Naomi is setting herself up for a fall---eventually she will realize Max was what she wanted all along--by that point though he will be dating Holly.
I'm surprised to see Ray Wise in 90210.
Uh I didn't write here for quite a while and I'm happy that I comment this very solid episode!
Naomi! How much I hate that they write her from one "crush" to an other she and Austin have chemistry like we saw in the first scene. this Holly storyline is nice but it would be better if they made her more struggle in school! They announced a new teacher coming to CU but it will be love again! Holly is a bitch! but she didn't played the game with our favurite LA gerl!
Addixon! They are really a nice couple they interact well! Shame the writers made them find each other now 3 seasons lost!! The bet scene amazing! I liked the replic on Dixon feeling sad because of Nilver.
Ivy is beautiful! I really love her, and it's a shame that she is trapped in this marrigge! They should show more emotions more inner struggling or wrap this up and finish it! She is a nice actress as she showed in season 2!
Nilver! The costume suits them but it is getting ridiculous, but the final scene was really emotional and well acted by N! Tiffany I love ! Amazing!
Annie! I always loved her attitude to step up for herself! She matured a lot in this season! And I love she sent him packing! Annie girl U've gone DILF! So will there come a slapy ex and mess with them!?!
The original had its fair share of parties and party-related drama as well. At least the Masquerade Party Naomi threw out was a huge improvement over last season's dreck of a senior prom. BTW, I like the closing montage in the episode's last moments: from Ivy looking to think more of her own happiness besides Raj, to Naomi trying to find a stable man in her life who could love her unconditionally to Liam trying to face his fears of facing challenges and overcoming doubts (redundant use of words I know lol hehehe) by letting himself be the face of an advertising campaign. Perez was there for like a minute and a half...So he wasn't much of a presence.
Is it just me or in almost every episode of this season there is a party! It's like "Party 90210" now! Do the new writers think that this show is only about parties? Does anyone agree with me?

Words can be mere words if you are repeating them and you are not the source of their origin. They look exactly like Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, but that is only the surface. The container is the same, but where is the content? The content comes from experience. They are like corpses. When you repeat a sutra, a tremendously significant statement of Buddha or Jesus, you are just carrying a corpse; the soul is no more in it. You are carrying only the cage; the bird has flown away. The cage may be beautiful in itself: it may be golden, studded with diamonds, very valuable. But where is the living bird, the bird who can sing, the bird who is alive? The bird is dead. Or maybe you have placed inside just a toy which looks like the bird, which pretends even to sing; it can have a hidden gramophone record in it, but still there is no life.
Once a drunkard was coming home from his pub. Before he went to the pub he thought that "The night is very dark and when I will be coming back it will be late and I will be very much drunk, so it is better to take a lamp with myself." So he carried a lamp. And when he fell almost on the floor in the middle of the night he became a little bit alert that "Now it is time to go back home." Everybody had already left. The owner is waiting for him to leave so that he can close the shop.
So he took his lamp. But he was very much puzzled: on the way he started stumbling. He stumbled with a buffalo, then with a donkey, then with a tree. He looked again and again at his lamp: What is the matter? He is carrying the lamp - why he is stumbling? Finally he fell by the side of the street. In the morning he was carried home by some friends.
In the middle of the day the owner of the pub came and said, "Please return my cage. Instead of taking your lamp you have carried my parrot!"
Then he looked.. But when a man is drunk it is bound to happen.
You are reading the Bible, but are you meditative enough to understand the message of Jesus?
Once I was invited by the biggest college in the East which prepares Christian missionaries, Leonard Theological College - a six-years course to prepare missionaries. Thousands of missionaries it has prepared, and every year hundreds of people pass through the examinations and they become missionaries. I went to look around; the principal was showing me everything. I asked him, "Do you teach these people any kind of meditation?"
He said, "Meditation? For what? We are preparing missionaries! We teach them the Bible, how to interpret it, how to support it by logical arguments, by proof - because the world is turning atheistic - how to argue against pagan religions which are not true religions, how to prove that Christianity is the only true religion and Christ the only-begotten son of God. Meditation is not needed; they need scholarship. And these six years we devote for great scholarship." And they had a very huge library.
And I went around, and they were teaching every kind of thing - it looked so silly. In one class I saw the professor was teaching the would-be missionaries how to deliver a sermon: how to stand, how to make gestures by the hands, where to give a pause, where to speak slowly and where to shout loudly, where you have to hit on the table with your fist to emphasize the point..

15.12.07 - By Sean Ocampo: Edwin Valero (23-0-0 23 KOs) successfully retained his World Boxing Association Super Featherweight Title by stopping Zaid Zavaleta (16-3-2 11 KOs) in the third round of their twelve round championship affair in Cancun, Mexico. Valero showed dominance all throughout the fight by attacking Zavaleta's head and body with vicious assaults. The win marks Valero's third successful defense of his WBA Super Featherweight Title since winning it against Vicente Mosquera last year..
During the first round, Valero clearly dominated Zavaleta with his vicious left hand shots and non-stop attack. He relentlessly pushes his opponent back with his straight left hand. Valero was able to drop Zavaleta with a left hand shot before the end of the first round.
During the second round, Zavaleta was still dazed with Valero's assault. Despite of the beating he took from the Venezuelan bomber, he was still able to survive the second round. The third round was the beginning of the end for Zavaleta, as he was getting hammered more and more by Valero. After several unanswered shots from Valero, referee Luis Pabon called a halt to the fight at 1:18 of the third round.
Valero's knockout streak continues, but he is still waiting for a license to fight in the United States. During his post fight interview, he said that he wishes to fight Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao in the near future to claim Super Featherweight supremacy.

City Place Mall
Main Entrance at the corner of Colesville Rd. and Fenton St.

|Opening date

|No. of anchor tenants
|No. of floors
|City Place Mall
City Place Mall, at the intersection of Fenton Street and Colesville Road (U.S. Route 29) in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, is a 400,000-square-foot (37,000 m2), five-story shopping mall that opened on April 2, 1992.[1][2] It was formerly a Hecht Company department store, the first suburban Washington, D.C., branch of that company, which opened in 1947; the downtown Silver Spring Hecht's closed when the Hecht's at Wheaton Plaza opened in 1987. From its start, the mall included "upscale" discount stores including original tenants Nordstrom Rack and Ross Dress for Less.[3] The mall also included an AMC movie theater on its fifth floor, but it closed shortly after a 20-screen Consolidated Theatres (now Regal Theaters) opened directly across Ellsworth Drive from City Place. In 2005 Rihanna did a free concert at the mall, on a temporary stage that covered the fountain. The event was sponsored by D.C.'s hit music station Hot 99.5, and was in support of her debut album Music of the Sun, with proceeds donated to victims of Hurricane Katrina.[4]
The mall is at the center of a revitalizing downtown Silver Spring.[5] Current City Place anchors include Marshalls and Burlington Coat Factory. There is also a row of street-level shops, including PNC Bank, Noodles & Company, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Ben & Jerry's, and a lower level food court now vacant with the exception of Brass Hen. The new slogan for City Place is "Life. Style. In the City." There is a proposal to build an office tower on top of the mall.[6]

|I'm just not very fond of adlinks being placed in my paragraphs. It's distracting and makes me feel like I'm endorsong something. It will take some real effort to avoid using these words but good vocabulary practice! Or maybe I'll just ignore it...
Hello, friends!
Are you looking for an exciting experience you can enjoy with your family this weekend in the comfort of your own home?... at a bargain, you say?
Well, your opportunity has arrived! Just take a quick trip to your local book store. It's easy, healthy and you get the pleasure of supporting local businesses. Take those books back to your house and start studying! School doesn't have to end in summer!

|Okay, so they'll only do 3-at-a-time. I was expecting a paragraph of green, hee-hee! There are at least 17 words there that will turn green if used. I'm sure there are others - these are just what I could find quickly.
It doesnt show up on my phone. Also, I'm sure many of you have adblocking and see no hyperlinks. NBD

|If you scroll to the bottom of this page you will see:
"Learn more about in-text links on this page here"
It will take you to a sticky on the Suggestions forum which in turn has a link to opt out of the text links.
Alternatively, replace one letter with an asterisk in the words you don't want a link in, like gard*n.

|to be honest I barely even notice them any more I just straight u ignore them.
I didn't even realize that these ads were on gardenweb lol. I guess that's how common they are on these types of forums, that I just stopped noticing them
|Oh, thanks nhbabs! I'll do that. I guess I should read the fine print more often than I do, which is never.
yorkie, what got me was when I tried to edit a post and each word that had been hyperlinked was expanded to this huge string of html. It looks like I have the power to change that now, so... problem solved!
|Okay, I did the opt out. Let's see if it works.
|Nope. I emptied my cache and refreshed like they suggested. Maybe it takes more time.

|In your 15:02 posting, none of the words are active.
|Ah, yes! I guess it took a little while to go through. It still had links right after I posted. Sweet victory!
|Maybe reading instructions isn't always so bad?
|Well, I prefer glancing at instructions but to each his own. I had seen the "learn more about in-text links here" but I thought it was instructions on how to add hyperlinks into the body of your post, which I've seen people do on this forum. I never bothered to click the link. I'm hoping this information will be useful to others as well.
As of now, though, the word "refreshed" in my post above is still green.

Random vehicle inspections beginning Sunday at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport will close roads to passengers, airline employees and others trying to get to terminals, officials said Friday.
Phoenix police will set up inspection stations on the east and west sides of the airport to check cars 24 hours a day, closing two major exits leading to the airport. The inspections are indefinite, authorities said.
"We're really trying to make it so people won't be delayed much at all," said Deborah Ostreicher, airport spokeswoman. "Our concern is that people are going to want to stop and look because there will often be police cars at those areas. We really want to encourage people to proceed with caution, but to keep moving. The federal government has asked us to do this, and we're doing it, but we really don't want to compromise customer service."
The nation's increased terror alert to high-risk "code orange" prompted the federal Transportation Security Administration to require random inspections at all the airport's entryways.
The northbound exit from state Route 153, also known as Sky Harbor Expressway, to the airport will be closed indefinitely. The exit ramp from Priest Drive to Sky Harbor also will be closed.
Westbound lanes on Loop 202 and Sky Harbor Boulevard will be restricted. Southbound 44th Street will be restricted south of Washington Street, as will eastbound Sky Harbor Boulevard lanes leading to terminals 2, 3, and 4.
In some cases, motorists will have to abandon their normal route to the airport and find another way by following overhead freeway and mobile signs, Ostreicher said.
"What they're trying to do is make there be as few check areas as possible because there's so many different access roads into the airport," she said. "Police aren't giving out exact details on anything about how the random system and checkpoints will work, but they just want everybody to slow down and know they may be diverted."
Sky Harbor Boulevard, which runs past the airport's three major terminals, will be narrowed from three to two lanes in some places, but the restrictions will take place far from terminals, Ostreicher said. Some vehicles could be searched twice because all cars entering garages at Terminals 3 and 4 are subject to inspection.
Drivers should be prepared to reduce their speed as they enter the airport, authorities said. The speed limit will be 25 mph approaching inspection stations.

Permaculture – A lesson in patience
By Leanne Ejack
Alberta, Canada
Student PDC Jan/Feb 2014 at PRI Sunshine Coast
I was bred, born and raised in the Western Canadian prairies surrounded by massive cattle feedlots and kilometre-long stretches of monoculture grain crops. I always enjoyed the farming lifestyle, but I knew as a young teenager that the farming practices that I was surrounded by were inflicting long-term harm to the soil and environment. Spending a year after university working for a large agricultural company opened my eyes even further to how these large companies have spent years manipulating farmers into complete dependency upon their chemical inputs. Farmers are caught in a toxic and corrupt spiral of powerlessness. I was driven to start educating myself about a more sustainable way of food production that also placed the power back in the hands of farmers. I had heard about permaculture and,after researching it further, I knew I needed to become more immersed in it. Continue reading
Permaculture Design Certificate at PRI Sunshine Coast
Please have a look at this article written by one of the students in our last PDC course, which ran from 23 June to 5 July. Here is an excerpt:
" I just got back from doing a twelve-day Permaculture Design Certificate course in Kin Kin (on the Sunshine Coast between Noosa and Gympie) with Tom Kendall at Maungaraeeda, the permaculture centre that he and his wife Zaia run. Fantastic experience. After doing some research on available PDC courses (see below), I went to Maungaraeeda with high expectations – and they were exceeded. Tom is a wonderful teacher, very warm, very knowledgeable, and very committed to ensuring his students get the most out of the course."

I have tried to stay out of this fight, but keep coming back to it. So let me jump in. I do not necessarily like to carry a handgun I have not shot and would not suggest it but have done it several times more than I care to remember. And I am sure that most people who have been around guns long enough have. Several different occasions stick out in my mind.
When I was a young man just out of college I had met a nice lady that I just started to date. I had met her dad once before, but about a month in we went out to his house in the country to pick something up in my truck. At 0:dark thirty we are about to leave and he looked out his back porch. Turns to his wife and says that someone is breaking into the airplane hanger on the little grass strip behind his hay field. It will take county about 30-45 minuets to get someone out, so he grabs a big old revolver and hands me a 30-30 propped by the back door and says come on. Do you stop and say, "Why sir I have never shot this gun before."? Or do you get your butt out there and help. This was almost an exact replay of something that happened with an uncle almost 10 years earlier but then again my uncle had known me for more than 20 days.
Also back a long time ago I would fly in to different cities and have a friend pick me up, and there would be a 1911 in holster with a spare magazine for me to carry while there. This has always worked well for me and several close friends for some time.
And last, if you have ever been in the military or law enforcement any length of time you most likely have done it from time to time. Worst case, here is your weapon and gear, see you tomorrow night. Or best case, you go to the armory and the Number 8 rifle or Number 14 shotgun that you shot for qualification is already checked out, or down for repair, then you either go without, or you sign out one you have not shot. You are not going to try head shots with at 800 yards in a hostage situation, but if you have to lay down some fire to get yourself or others out of a bad spot you will be very glad you had it. And then, there is always, the old chief sergeant you are riding with on the second night with a new department, on the way to a "shots fired call" knowing that there will be 20-30 people on the street when we get there; he tells you, "You carry the shotgun when we get out". You are not really concerned if that 870 is going to do what it is suppose to do. (Well I don't guess you would be, I was not.)
Yes if you are around long enough you will do it, but I can not recommend it and it is definitely not for beginners.

Panama City Man Indicated on 24 Counts of Wire Fraud
PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA – A federal grand jury has returned an indictment charging Danny L. Hubbard, 48, of Panama City, with 24 counts of wire fraud. The indictment was announced today by Pamela C. Marsh, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
Counts One through Twenty-Four of the indictment allege that between November 2006 and May 12, 2008, Hubbard fraudulently obtained money from the American Federation of Government Employees ("AFGE"), Local 1380, a labor union that represents federal employees who work at the Naval Support Activity in Panama City, Florida.
On November 9, 2006, Hubbard was appointed the acting president of AFGE Local 1380 and continued in that capacity until May 12, 2008. According to the indictment, once he became president of AFGE Local 1380, Hubbard utilized the union's funds for his personal benefit by writing checks to himself, to cash, to the TNC Quick Stop convenience store, Sam's Club, AT&T, and Boomtown Casino. The funds disbursed as a result of these transactions were not used for AFGE Local 1380's official business or for the union. Hubbard did not obtain approval from AFGE Local 1380's executive board or membership before disbursing the funds to himself, cash, or other third party entities. The indictment alleges that Hubbard fraudulently obtained approximately $91,504.08 from AFGE Local 1380 as a result of the scheme to defraud.
If convicted, Hubbard faces a maximum possible sentence on each count of twenty (20) years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, up to three years of supervised release, criminal forfeiture, and a $100 special monetary assessment.
The indictment results from an investigation by agents of the U.S. Department of Labor and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kathryn Risinger.
An indictment is merely a formal charge by a grand jury that a defendant has committed a violation of federal criminal law. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until the government proves their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to the satisfaction of a jury at trial.

"Steven has helped my family and I several times, with professionalism, great advice, patience, understanding, and a great personality! Contact him for real estate matters, you will be pleased!"
We were referred to Steven Wong when a developer proposed buying our
property. Never having worked with a developer, we knew we lacked the
expertise to navigate well for ourselves. We turned to a builder friend
for advice and he highly recommended Steven as someone who had a long
history of working with developers and could answer our many questions
as well as questions we didn't know to ask. Steven listened carefully to
our questions and concerns and thoughtfully directed us through each
phase of the process. He was quick to respond and readily available when
we had questions. He was careful to consider our needs as he defended
our position well with the developer and negotiated aspects unfamiliar
to us. We closed with an excellent outcome and believe that Steven
exceeded our expectations.
We feel fortunate to be able to consult with someone with Steven's level of experience evaluating many types of properties for investment value as well as physical characteristics. He is approachable and takes his work seriously. We have come to gratefully trust his judgement.

The Mentalist Review: "Bloodstream"by Christine Orlando at . Comments
Cho was in charge, Jane was set loose in a hospital, and La Roche filled in for Hightower as The Mentalist continued to shake things up this season.
"Bloodstream" gave us a kinder, gentler La Roche and it was nothing short of unnerving. Every time I saw the man this week, I pictured a little white dog under his arm. The show should be commended for giving such a creepy character so many layers. La Roche had always been fascinating as a villain, but giving him added dimension has made him human and even more interesting. I just hope we never lose that intense pitbull quality I've loved from the start.
I enjoyed Cho being put in charge of the team. He was so no-nonsense about it. His first loyalty was to Lisbon, but if this was now his team, he was going to lead it. Cho's deadpan delivery and take charge attitude have been a highlight every week. I was glad he got to play more of a role here and wouldn't mind seeing it again down the line.I don't know which part I enjoyed more: Jane running loose in the hospital or Lisbon's glee at not being responsible for his actions. My boss is Agent Kimball Cho. I can give you his phone number. For once she got to sit back, watch Jane's antics and send the complaints to someone else.
And Jane's mini tirade on the "kangaroo court" hospital system was one of the funniest lines all night. Would a wallaby be more judicious? And Jane with the Russian crime lord was equally hilarious. From explaining that his badge was actually only a laminate to citing all of the reasons why he knew the man was a Russian crime boss, I couldn't get enough of Jane on this installment.
When Lisbon entered the room and announced she was with the CBI I kept waiting for one of the Russians to ask "With who?" Maybe folks in California know what the CBI is but it still strikes me as odd each time I hear it and I've watched the show all three seasons.
As usual, Jane was smart. He wanted to know what was going on with the doctors, so he went straight for the nurses and it was fun to see him gossiping like one of the ladies. He fit right in.
My favorite scene was the one between Lisbon and La Roche toward the end. Lisbon gave Cho full credit for cracking the blackmarket radiation case. She proved what a strong leader she was by acknowledging the strengths of her team. Then, when La Roche put her back in charge, he admitted he was messing with her but he will not be disrespected.
With his mix of being almost scary smart with an undercurrent of strange humor, I hope we get to see more of Agent La Roche and his interactions with the CBI team.

The only let down for me was that there was no interaction between Jane and Cho after Cho took over the squad. The first question that sprang to my mind was just how will a no-nonsense cop like Cho deal with Jane's grandstanding? And it was never answered. An oversight, I think. And I do wish they're wrap up the whole Red John thing before the series finale. It's getting dull, and I never bought thatthat Red John is such an evil super genius with an endless network of myrmidons.
I loved how Lisbon had no problem having Cho as her boss, even saying, "Yes, sir", when he told her what to do. And one of my favorite lines was when Lisbon tries to reign in Jane, and he says "What? You're not my boss anymore". :) What a great show.
I wonder why LaRoche was put in charge of CBI. He picked the wrong suspect for the mole and couldn't bring Hightower to justice. I thought it was so cute that Lisbon was happy to be rid of the responsiblity for Jane's actions. Cho did a great job as leader. I love the way Jane gets in there and solves the case. Great episode.
My favourite scene had to be Lisbon gleefully walking out of the hospital after announcing that he was no longer her problem, and Jane's little smile at how happy she was. It was nice to see Lisbon so relaxed with the whole situation, especially since the whole premise led me to believe that she would be demoted because LaRoche thought she was incompetent, leading her to go into a depressed spiral. Kudos to the writers for taking things in a totally different direction.
I too think LaRoche is becoming a more layered persona. The Kangaroo court was a bit over the top but some tidbits such as Jane calling himself an insultant and the laminate card business, kudos to the writers. Cho as the boss unfortunately did not impress me, since he is always so pragmatic anyway. Lisbon hit a high note this week, loved her.
I really like the mentalist but I am getting tired of La Roche being such a bully. I like the team....I don't really like it when someone comes in and does throws their weight around like he did last night.
I have to admit, I really did enjoy this episode, too. I think my favorite line from Jane was that he was to insult, to which Lisbon say consult and he retorted with that too. What a wonderful exchange. There are moments when I don't know how Robin Tunney holds it together being the straight man (woman).
I actually liked the way Jane came across this time. For a while there he was more berating than funny, but it seems like he has his swing back. Keep it up! Kudos to all.
My favorite scene was between Van Pelt and Lisbon in the hospital. These two have great chemistry together and I waited for a long time for the writers to develop a stronger bond bond.
Anyway I thought they were just cute. Also the Cho/Lisbon scenes were awesome but I'm glad Lisbon is back as the leader. You go girl.

(HealthDay News) -- Donating blood isn't a trivial matter. Without preparation, you can become tired and listless after your act of kindness.
The American Red Cross offers this advice before you donate:
Eat plenty of iron-rich foods, including red meat, leafy greens, beans, poultry, raisins and iron-fortified cereals.
Get a good night's sleep.
Drink extra fluids -- about 16 ounces of water or something else that's non-alcoholic.
Avoid taking aspirin for two days before the donation.

A funny thing happened on the way to my second column since the Los Angeles Times hired me back.
A new movie profiles journalist Gary Webb, who exposed the CIA's involvement with the U.S. crack epidemic and later committed suicide.
In a revelation that seems to vindicate long-aired warnings about how state intimidation worsens the corruption of a press already defanged by the implosion of its financial model, documents obtained by The Intercept show that a prominent national security reporter for the Los Angeles Times "routinely submitted drafts and detailed summaries of his stories to CIA press handlers prior to publication."

The motto of The New York Times has long been "All the News That's Fit to Print." After reading the Times report on how the paper might survive the digital era, I'm afraid it could be overtaken by a concept called "good enough."
As is always the case when catastrophic outbursts can be in any way linked to entertainment and mass culture, some critics have zoomed in on Hollywood as a fomenting agent for grandiose and antisocial delusions that wind their way into volatile minds like Elliot Rodger's—and everyone else's, for that matter.

While John McCain is still searching for a reason he should be president, he has a new reason Barack Obama shouldn't be: The Illinois senator once had dinner with a Palestinian. Or, as McCain sees it, he attended a terrorist convention with a PLO spokesman and William Ayers.
Truthdig tips its hat this week to Edwin O. Guthman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, World War II veteran, professor and former press secretary to Robert F. Kennedy. Guthman, who died Aug. 31, was a true class act, a mentor to many and, as the Los Angeles Times noted, a top-notch editor who earned the No. 3 spot on President Richard Nixon's enemies list for what the Times called his "aggressive pursuit of Watergate stories."

Los Angeles Times Publisher David Hiller is best known for firing people. Now Hiller himself is out of a job. The ousting was announced as the Times braced for another devastating round of staff cuts. Meantime, the editor of another Sam Zell-owned newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, announced her resignation as that paper continues its own gutting.

Sam Zell seems to get a kick out of antagonizing his critics, some of his own reporters among them, but this time the Tribune Co. boss has really outdone himself. Zell has announced a new model for his newspapers: 50 percent news and 50 percent ads. At the Los Angeles Times, that will mean 82 fewer pages of news every week.

Not many people pay attention to judicial elections, especially one held in June, and it's for that reason that some Angelenos are worried about the campaign of William Johnson. A white separatist, Johnson is apparently counting on a lack of attention and the support of Ron Paul's local organization to help him to victory.

In an extraordinary 633-word retraction, The Los Angeles Times has renounced an article it published last month that claimed to have new information about an attack in 1994 on rap artist Tupac Shakur, who later was killed.
It's been a lively week in the newspaper world, and the excitement hasn't exactly been of the desirable variety. Earlier in the week, Tribune Co. Chairman and CEO Sam Zell announced major cutbacks at Tribune papers across the country, and then The New York Times' Valentine's Day edition brought word that the Gray Lady will also be downsizing its staff.
A leading Los Angeles religious figure blasts media irresponsibility at a memorial service for one of the Los Angeles Times' top editors, Anthony Day.
Tribune Media, the conglomerate that owns the Los Angeles Times along with other major newspapers, TV stations and even the Chicago Cubs, announced it is considering offers for its sale. The economic wisdom of conglomeration has come under fire in recent years, but Tribune's troubles have raised concerns over the future of the newspaper industry in general.

It's probably best to steer clear of this this cloaked and dangerous champion on the Field of Justice, or he won't be the only one pulling a disappearing act.

hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
Can't wait to see this vast assemblage of talent that Roy has put together take the floor. You never know how good they're going to be but Bullock and Hairston are looking awfully impressive early on.....two potential lotto picks fighting for time off the bench.
I don't think Roy has ever roster with this many NBA players. But at the same time he doesn't have a dominant, physical presence like May or Hansborough, or a one man fast break like Felton or Lawson. Its going to be a very different team.
My Cardinals have a difficult non-conference schedule before they even get to the Big East tilts.
11/19 @Butler
12/02 vs. Vandy
12/17 vs. Memphis
12/31 @ Kentucky
and then the full BE slate. We actually play Gtown 3 days before we go to Lexghanistan for the New Years Eve rivalry game against the Wildkittens.
Nearly 70% of the Earth is covered by water...the rest is covered by Gerod Holliman.
I can't wait for the Memphis-Louisville game. That used to be an awesome rivalry. Hopefully they end up in the same conference again and it gets renewed.
Lovely fan base. I count them as third in my heart behind UK and WVU fans...
yeah...no doubt unc is loaded with nba talent...that teams filthy
on a different note duke plays belmont tonight at 9 on espnu i think it is and there's some scuttlebutt that belmont is gonna be a real sleeper to watch out for this year so that game could be something to get your eyes on after the carrier classic...
