Books | For centuries, life has had its uppies and downies
Review of Hugh Hornby, Uppies and Downies: The Extraordinary Football Games of Britain, ed. Simon Inglis, Played in Britain (London: English Heritage, 2008). Pp. 188, bibliography, calendar of games, illustrations, maps. £16.99 (paper). ISBN 978-1-9056246-4-5.
Modern football match reports, following accepted journalistic practice, place emphasis on the final score. Try as we might in interviews with participants and by accessing online newspaper accounts of the Feb 14 Jethart (Jedburgh) Ba' Game in Scotland—the annual revival of a mass-participation football match with several centuries' provenance—we could not discover, with absolute certainty, who won.
British Pathé newsreels offered valuable sources for Hornby's accounts of Shrovetide games. Pathé cameras filmed the Alnwick, Northumberland, game as early as 1922, and the film from this 1936 edition survived a cameraman's misfortune. According to Hornby's research, the photographer became involved in the mêlée and picked himself up "a sadder and wiser man." (www.britishpathe.com) |
Hugh Hornby, author of the comprehensive account of Britain's 15 surviving festival football games (see schedule), was busy signing books, but says that the Uppies may have prevailed "by an odd hail." Tam Miller, who started participating years ago in a youth version of the Jedburgh Candlemas game, said he had to check a local newspaper for results in Jedburgh and in games in nearby Scottish Border towns, Hobkirk and Ancrum. But he does not name the victors, suggesting that participation matters more than outcome.
Hornby advocates on behalf of these distinctive contests, grouped broadly under the heading "folk football" or "Shrovetide football." In the book's conclusion he suggests adding a bank holiday to mark Shrove Tuesday and to help revive interest in the mass-participation football forms. And following the mission of the Played in Britain series, which in past volumes has treated Britain's swimming centers and the sporting edifices of Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, Hornby wants to memorialize the sites of the more than 80 such games now extinct.
"I've been full-time on the trail of these elusive games for about two, three years," Hornby says in a Feb 21 podcast. "I've spent many cold hours in fields and on the streets following these games, but I have to say I don't regret any of that time. It's endlessly fascinating, and they're all quite different in their own way."
The former curator of the National Football Museum in Preston, in George Plimpton style, has participated in many scrums himself, sometimes drawn into the fray as a bystander—he joined in at Denholm, another Scottish Border town, this season. The games share common features, but, as Hornby writes, each possesses its own character, with different ritualistic elements and peculiarities in shape and style of ball, modes of hailing (scoring), terrain and tactics.
Although in a few cases individuals compete for themselves, most of the time players are grouped onto two sides: Uppies or Downies (with multiple variations in name), town or country, married or single. In harbor villages, such as in Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands, the Uppie represents the part of town "up" from the harbor. In river towns, such as Jedburgh, Uppies come from the upstream section of the prevailing water feature, with accommodation made in modern times for inequalities in population or the establishment of regional hospitals—meaning that locals tend to be born in the same place. ("I was born in Jedburgh as an Uppie and will die an Uppie," Miller proclaims.) Unlike association football, teams must score in their own goals, whether by touching the ball to a stone plinth, rolling the ball across a road or carrying the ball across a boundary: "The balls are the spoils of war," writes Hornby, "to be brought home in triumph."
In Derby, one of the best-known festival contests—now extinct—paired neighboring parish churches from St. Peter's and All Saints'. The rivalry persists in that local rivalries throughout the football world are called derby matches.
In discussing the prehistory of festival games, Hornby marches back to the Norman Conquest of 1066, which brought the Shrove Tuesday (Scot., Fastern's E'en) custom to the British Isles. Shrove Tuesday, in fact, would become known as "Football Day" in places across Britain. Literary references to ball games begin appearing as early as 1174. William Fitzstephen, a Canterbury monk, alludes in a description of everyday life in London to youth who go "to the fields for the famous game of ball." The word "football" first appears in 1314. London's mayor already had acquired a negative impression of the sport—he refers to "certain tumults arising from great footballs in the fields of the public," part of a tradition of suppression by church and polity.
Miller of Jedburgh scores a "half-hail" in the 2004 ba' game by splitting one of the balls open on the cauld, or dam, of the Jed Water.
That early references to football often feature as part of ecclesial or municipal efforts to ban the game may offer a skewed portrayal of the contests as violent infringements of the peace. Yet the push and pull between enthusiasts and Puritan or Victorian-era repressors continues through the ages. In King Lear, the steward Oswald objects to being struck for his insolence, but himself is reprimanded as a "base football player." Critic Ralph Berry remarks that the game already had come to be associated with down-market pursuits, "a proletarian pastime linked with proletarian values."
The research of Hornby and other historians into the background of codified football forms offers a new historical model for the genesis, in 1863, of association football as a game bound by rules and a confined playing space. That rugby, codified as the Rugby Football Union in 1871, and soccer evolved directly from the primitive mass games has been eschewed. Adrian Harvey writes that football, meaning a kicking game contested between teams of equal numbers, "is a much older game than the Shrove-variety." (See Matthew Concanen the Elder's canto A Match at Football for an account of a six-a-side game in Dublin in the early 18th century.)
Hornby distinguishes among various football traditions, characterized by the frequency of play: "Obviously the Uppies and Downies games are annual events. At the other end of the spectrum you would have the daily, casual kickabout in the schoolyard or in the street predominantly by younger boys. To some extent in between you will have weekly play perhaps in the chuchyard or in a field next to a churchyard, between younger men within each community. In effect that is the beginning of the weekly fixture list which is the staple of modern sport." Eric Midwinter in Parish to Planet writes that the annual games, due to their distinctiveness, are better known for having been commented on by chroniclers of the time:
Below that higher level of occasional celebratory action dwelt a lower, less considered but more imperative type of football. It scarcely registered on the radar of the literate scribes of the age because of its very ordinariness. This was the daily or weekly disportment of tiny groups of boys or young men who would randomly foregather for what later generations would call a kickabout.
More significant to historians is the range of behavior associated with the festival contests, "the ways in which people enjoy football, dressing up, singing, processing, drinking—the banter and the badinage that goes on around the games," says Hornby. Folk traditions deserve credit for establishing the idea of major sporting events, such as an FA Cup final or Super Bowl, as time set apart from the norm. In concept, the idea meshes perfectly with Shrove Tuesday, or the Feast of Fools, and its inversion of regular procedures. Relationships and rule are subverted. Flag-waving, flambeaux-lighting, chanting and other small subversions in football stands worldwide, by sometimes unruly rooters from all lands, might reach back to the mass football traditions of Britain's streets and pastures. Hornby says:
If you imagine a larger urban environment and several hundred players perhaps, it might be considered a threat to order and prosperity. But of course that's the whole point about Carnival and Shrove Tuesday. It's the one day in the year when the ordinary man and perhaps woman is allowed to act the fool, take over for 24 hours, on the clear understanding that that's the one exception and that the following day, as Lent gets under way, things will return to normal and they'll behave themselves.
Hornby has discovered references to other customs that date back further than previously believed. As early as the 15th century common ground was set aside for camp-ball, a sport featuring teams of equal numbers competing for defined time periods. "Goals were pitched at the distance of 150 or 200 yards from each other," reads an 1823 description. "These were generally formed of the thrown off clothes of the competitors." Hornby flags this as the first instance of using "jumpers for goalposts."
Festival games, of course, begin with a ball, such as that of the Royal Shrovetide game in Ashbourne. The hand-painted cork-filled balls of Ashbourne—held here by former player Dave Mellor on 6 Feb 08—are pieces of art in their own right. (© Andy Savage | www.derbyphotos.co.uk)
Early football forms employed kicking and handling. Period lithographs and paintings (see the work by Carse below) show Uppies and Downies players kicking the ball, but, in Scotland especially, the handba' variety gained ascendancy to keep a check on damages. That the games occur in public areas, in countryside and on roads, helps distinguish mass-participation football from the codified forms. No one has lined fields of play in festival football, although shopkeepers do board the windows. Rarely do referees adjudicate. Terraces with barriers to separate participant and watcher do not exist. Anyone wandering by can be swept up into the action. Hornby notes that those lacking zeal for the heat of the scrum—from which steam clouds billow upward in cold conditions—can contribute "at the back of the sway in pushing in the right direction."
In an entertaining digression on the design blog StrangeHarvest, Sam Jacob, architecture editor of Contemporary magazine, theorizes that association football may have incorporated aspects of the festival games' attitude toward space ("Folk Football: Landscape, Space, and Abstraction," Feb 5).
Pitches have an extraordinary beauty that has evolved from chaotic vernacular origins. Somewhere in that minimalist arrangement of rectangles, circles and dots is a trace of the landscapes of folk football: centre circle as lake, penalty area as village gateway, and goal as church. This makes football—perhaps more than any other sport—a kind of essentialised urbanism. A far more totalizing spatial game than say Rugby or Cricket.
With technological advance, disputes over the right of way between festival players and traffic became another means of controlling the games. The Highway Act in 1835 gave local authorities license to fine football players who used public carriageways. Games did decline in the 1800s, although Harvey disputes the extent to which this happened. Hornby says the main factor, rather than the advent of spectator sport, was urbanization. Rural recreations did not transfer to the urban centers—Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool—and games in the far-flung outposts, such as the Shetland Islands, died out. Even tiny Fair Isle, home of the famous knitting tradition, contains a remnant Baa' Green, although writer Malachy Tallack says little memory exists of traditional Yule Day scrambles.
Many factors have helped preserve the 15 matches that are still contested—ranging, on a map of Britain, from the Cornish hurling games on the southwest coast through the Midlands up to the Scottish Borders, and on to the robust Kirkwall contest in the north-lying Orkneys. Urbanization creates a problem, but, as Hornby points out, one nevertheless requires a critical mass of personnel:
There seems to be a greater chance of survival in a smaller community, because obviously the big-city games of this kind were known in London and Manchester and so on—they've all gone. It does seem from researching the book that the optimum size is actually what Jedburgh is, a few thousand people: probably between five [thousand] and ten thousand population. And a number of the surviving games happen to have a population of that amount. Ashbourne is the same, and St. Ives, Sedgefield and one or two other places. Only Workington in Cumbria is significantly bigger. It seems to me that you require a certain level of support for the number of people in a town to keep the games going without reaching a level where the game becomes too damaging to property and disruptive to traffic and therefore likely to be suppressed.
Enthusiasts for the annual sport, from various periods, have outmaneuvered attempts at prohibition partly due to knock-on effects of war. In the Scottish Borders, Hobkirk players could continue these romps during the Napoleonic period as a justifiable distraction from the sacrifices of conflict. In Jedburgh and other Roxburghshire villages, where tales of Reivering and defense from English incursion remain prominent in historical memory, the ba' games celebrate strength, guile and a warrior spirit. Smuggling of the ball, sometimes aided by motorized means, is looked on with favor in Scotland. The use of subterfuge, Hornby says, along with the grappling in scrums, interpassing and cross-country pursuit, constitutes a legitimate tactic and demands a poker-faced player who won't give away that the small moss-stuffed leather ball is squirreled away in his pocket. Players have integrated cell phones and text messaging, sometimes to call in reinforcements.
In Jedburgh, weekday traffic still courses through the city as the men's game begins at 2 p.m., prefabricated plywood sections having already been affixed to downtown shop windows in preparation. On Feb 14 some 60 or 70 players, according to Hornby, were involved at various times in the Uppies and Doonies competition that dates at least to 1707. Even in 2001, when many festival games fell victim to the nationwide outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, two Jedburgh ba's were thrown into ceremonial play. One first-time witness in 2008, Sue Gyford of the Southern Reporter, looked on bemused at the knot of players who struggled within a "15-minute stationary maul. It looked like a cross between a rugby scrum and the furtive, collaborative milking of a cow; only the occasional writhing of a Caterpillar boot or the twitch of a builder's buttock revealing the sneaky grasping for control taking place beneath" ("You Can Take the Girl Out of Essex, but You Can't Take the Ba' Out of Jed," Feb 21; see video).
Auctioned for £240,000 in 2006, "The Foot-ball Play" (1830) by Scottish Borders artist Alexander Carse, along with similar works, represents one of the first appearances in fine arts of a football match. (Bonhams Edinburgh)
Besides getting to know one's neighbors in such intimacy, the Jedburgh game and others fuse generations. "Their understanding of which side people belong to is rooted from an early age," Hornby says. Although the games connect to a mode of life long disappeared, groups of activists and the lone figure willing to make a symbolic gesture have ensured the safe passage of Uppies and Downies. The Save Our Cloffocks group of Workington, for instance, works to preserve the vast linked sporting tracts that allow the game to range along the meandering Beck, the "stream of a thousand smells." Hornby recounts the extraordinary determination of Iain Heard in Ancrum, who for 22 years carried the ba', often without company, from the Market Cross to the Uppie and Doonie hailing points until the game revived in 1997.
The inveterate chroniclers, to whom Hornby is heir, should also receive their due for having championed the cause and preserved this history of the hands-on variety.

Who is the man or god (I can't remember which) in Greek Mythology who was told to hold up the world?

The Titans are actually gods too as many of the later greco-roman pantheon were Chronos and Rhea's children (Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, and Demeter). Though we call them "Gods" they are technically referred as an "Olympian". Though technically that also means that Hekatonkheires and Cyclopeans are gods too as they are all children of Gaia and Uranus so make of that what you will.

I love to buy certain things in individual portions. Yes, it's usually cheaper to buy in a larger container and transfer it to tupperware/ bag/ whatever you have, but sometimes it's just really convenient to have a single-serving in a disposable cup that you don't have to worry about leaving at work. Cottage cheese is one of those things that I like having small individual containers of - less mess.
South Beach Diet (now called South Beach Living) has released several kinds of cottage cheese flavors, sold in 4 ounce servings. I'm afraid to say that the individual portioning of their Low-fat Plain Cottage Cheese is its only good selling point. The cheese itself does have a nice creamy taste, but it's terribly dry. After taking a bite, I actually mixed some buttermilk into my cup and let it soak in before finishing it. That improved the texture, but removed any convenience that the cups toted. The curds themselves were also very randomly sized; some were mere fragments, others half-inch chunks. I was just really disappointed with this product.
A four pack of South Beach Diet Low-fat Cottage Cheese Cups costs about $2.00 (which is about 25% more than a regular tub of cottage cheese). One cup provides 80 calories, 1 gram of total fat, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 360 mg of sodium (15% of the RDA), 11 grams of protein, and 6 grams of total carbohydrates which includes 3 grams of sugar - no fiber. There is also 20% of the daily value of calcium.
While those are nice stats for a snack, the taste of this was horrible and I will not be buying this again. I suggest trying Breakstones Live Active Cottage Cheese instead.

How 4 women learned how to put the "power" in "willpower"—and you can too
For Amy Stevens, 41, of North Adams, MA, her grandmother's chocolate drop cookies always represented unconditional love. They reminded her of her grandma's warm, cozy kitchen and all the joy that surrounded her on birthdays, holidays, and those special afternoons when the two of them would bake together. So when a nutritionist last year suggested that Stevens give up the fudgy cookies (along with the fast food that made up the bulk of her diet), she sobbed for 15 minutes. But a year later, she hasn't baked a single batch—and she hasn't really missed them. She's managed to avoid the fast food too. She's dropped 80 pounds and is far happier than she was in the days when she turned for solace to oven-fresh cookies.
What changed her eating habits—and her life? A program called integrative weight loss at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, MA. The program is based on a powerful new understanding: To be successful over the long term, a program has to be about more than counting calories and crunches. It has to engage a dieter at the emotional level too, because willpower is only partially a function of rational "will." To put "power" behind it, you need ways of combating the cycle of emotional and stress eating, which can sabotage the best intentions.
Across the country, from Florida to California, cutting-edge centers are practicing their own versions of this approach, because it simply works. Think of it this way: Diet and exercise are crucial—particularly, a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber that can nourish the body and keep you feeling satisfied for longer. But alone, diet and exercise are like a two-legged stool—ready to topple at the first snack attack. To steady the stool, you need a third leg—a stash of mind-body techniques to help combat cravings and get in touch with your body's true needs.
Here are four women who've tried it—and turned their lives around.

He talked me (daughters boyfriend-Titleist Rep)into this one to go along with the Driver and Fairway. Not much to say other than I have it set at standard loft and 1 degree open. It's a 19o animal. I have never had a hybrid that I can work like this one. It has the 80 gram A'hina Stiff in it. Awesome trajectory and seems to really bore through the cool wind we have here right now. You won't be disappointed with anything from the 910 line.
This is awesome. I was looking to get a nice hybrid, for not a ton of money. I purchased it in the "Good" condition and it could not look any better. a few scratches on the face and thats about it. it hits like its brand new.
Shape is odd but you forget when you see the penetrating trajectory.
I switched from the Talyor Made Hybrid to this Club..Lights out!!! This Club is great for any golfer. Being new to the game I make ton's of errors. 910H cuts those in half.

Climate-related disruptions to fruit and vegetable growers will increase over the next 25 years, according to projections from the third National Climate Assessment.
The 840-page report, (www.globalchange.gov), was written by 240 groups of authors who documented ways climate change is affecting agriculture, forestry and other sectors. Congress calls for the assessment every four years through the U.S. Global Change Research Program.
"Many agricultural regions will experience declines in crop and livestock production from increased stress due to weeds, diseases, insect pests, and other climate change induced stresses," said William Hohensein, director of the USDA's Climate Change Program Office, in a blog post about the report. By 2050, climate change will increasingly effect most crops and livestock, he said.
Hohensein said extremes in precipitation will challenge dryland and irrigated agriculture, potentially resulting in loss and degradation of soil and water resources unless new conservation methods are implemented.
Growers often try to survive current crop challenges and may not have the luxury of planning for long-term climate change, said Ray Gilmer, vice president of issues management and communication for the Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association. Gilmer said water is a dominant issue for California growers.
"If they don't get the water problem solved, the long-term challenge isn't anything they can necessarily need to worry about because they might not be in business any more," he said.
According to the report, there are "multiple lines of independent evidence" that confirm that human activities are the primary cause of the global warming of the past 50 years. Burning of coal, oil, and gas, and clearing of forests have boosted carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere by more than 40% since the Industrial Revolution, according to the report. The U.S. average temperature has increased by 1.3°F to 1.9°F since 1895, and most of this increase has occurred since 1970.
Temperatures are projected to rise another 2°F to 4°F in most areas of the U.S. in the next few decades, and by 2100 temperatures could rise by 3°F to 5°F under a lower emissions scenario and as much as a 5°F to 10°F rise for a higher emissions scenario, according to the report.
In California, the combination of a longer frost-free season, less frequent cold air outbreaks, and more frequent heat waves will accelerate crop ripening and maturity, reduce yields of corn, tree fruit, and wine grapes and increase irrigation use.
"This combination of climate changes is projected to continue and intensify, possibly requiring a northward shift in crop production, displacing existing growers and affecting farming communities," according to the report.
Challenges to agriculture include:
- Production declines because of increases in weeds, diseases and insects;
- Erosion and degradation of soil;
- Fruit trees that require chill hours to set a good crop will see production declines. requiring new varieties;
- Weather extremes will negatively affect crop and livestock productivity; and
- Increased innovation will be needed to keep pace with climate change over the next 25 years.

Makes 4 servings
The French regard rutabaga as animal feed, but the Irish know better and use it in numerous beloved dishes. In this recipe, the root vegetable's sweet starchiness is the perfect foil for smoked mackerel, another ingredient for which the Irish have great respect.
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2/3 cups whole milk
- 1 garlic clove, crushed and peeled
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
- 1 pound rutabaga, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 freshly grated nutmeg
- 4 smoked mackerel fillets, broken into pieces
Arrange oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter pie plate.
In small heavy saucepan, combine cream, milk, and garlic. Bring to boil over moderately high heat, then remove from heat and set aside.
Layer 1/4 of potatoes in baking dish in concentric circles, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, then pour 1/2 cup cream mixture over. Repeat process using rutabaga instead of potatoes to make second layer.
Scatter mackerel pieces over root vegetables and top with 1/2 cup cream mixture. Make another layer of rutabaga, then final layer of potatoes, topping final layer with remaining 2/3 cup cream mixture.
Bake until potatoes are tender when pierced with knife and top is golden, about 45 to 55 minutes. Let gratin stand 5 minutes before serving.

Darphin Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Lauder's influence on this line has resulted in only a few improved products; there are some good cleansers; some worthwhile serums and moisturizers; a couple worthwhile masks and a good skin-lightening product that's remarkably similar to a less expensive option from Clinique (another Lauder-owned brand).
Weaknesses: Very expensive; no effective products to address acne or other types of breakouts; pervasive use of skin-irritating fragrant oils; only one sunscreen and it has problems; jar packaging for products that contain air- and light-sensitive ingredients.
From its beginnings as a spa line developed for French aestheticians in the late 1950s, Darphin's core belief is that beauty comes from inner balance and harmony of the body, mind, and soul. This vision was truly new decades ago, and while it sounds great as an image-enhancing philosophy, it never translated, either back then or now, into progressive products that will make a significant difference in the appearance of your skin. In fact, among all of the skin-care lines espousing natural ingredients and botanical extracts, Darphin is the least impressive, with inadequate, dated formulations. Close competitor (and forerunner) Clarins at least includes several daytime moisturizers with sunscreen and also offers a complete collection of sunscreens for the body. Not so with Darphin, whose sunscreen selection is limited at best. Apparently, inner balance involves putting your skin at risk for wrinkles, discolorations, sagging, and, potentially, cancer.
Estee Lauder acquired Darphin in 2003, but that investment has resulted in little improvement or change to this line, options that are desperately needed. Almost without exception, Darphin products are vastly overpriced for what you get. Many of them contain problematic ingredients or plants whose benefit for skin is unknown or merely anecdotal.
As you might expect, most of the anti-aging claims Darphin makes for its products stem from the exotic to commonplace plants and plant extracts they contain. Although it's appealing to think that familiar substances such as ginseng, sandalwood, and corn can firm skin and improve the signs of aging, they do no such thing. Adhering to Darphin's skin-care routines (all of which involve multiple products, most with redundant formulas) would leave skin vulnerable to sun damage, and the many fragrance components found in products throughout the line increase the chance that skin will suffer a phototoxic reaction when exposed to sunlight. Considering the premium prices of these products, that's a lot of potential for a literal and figurative burn!

-1 in a series of 4 CDs (Recorded in Rosemary's own voice)
This CD is the perfect complement to Rosemary's new book SOUL SIGNS.
Inspired by her book Soul Signs, we get to go with Rosemary on a journey into the spirit world, where she meets the children who teach her about the garden of souls. She is taken by the hand, and is shown the garden, fields and fields of beautiful golden daffodils, swaying this way and that, a sea of souls, bright and golden, our earth soul cluster….just as it is seen by the universe.
You will glimpse the love of these children, the love they have for us all, and as they speak, you will learn that each of us is an individual flower, a certain type, a particular variety of bloom, like one of the twelve varieties of daffodil, a flower so rare and special, as the children show us when they begin to sing their song. A song that we all can learn, a song that tells us of our beauty, a song that tells us of our strength and unity, a song that tells us that we are souls in God's garden, and that we are treasured and loved, no matter who we are, or who we have become in our lives.
Like a delicate and wondrous flower bulb, our soul will bloom in the golden rays of Gods light and His love, and is protected always.
In Rosemary's new book, SOUL SIGNS, you can learn more about the garden of souls, and more about Rosemary's incredible gift.

Southeast Michigan (V11-I36)
August 27, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Bloomfield Unity Montessori and Daycare
Farmington–August 25–Ms. Ayesha Ali, co-principal of the Bloomfield Unity Montessori and Daycare took some time to talk with TMO about her school this week.
This Montessori school is in fact not a direct competitor with most of the other Islamic day schools that TMO has interviewed in the past years, as it is a preschool–in fact it is a feeder for the other Islamic schools, like Huda and others.
The Bloomfield Montessori school has about 30 students, and is based inside the BMUC mosque. The Montessori program focuses on children up to six years old, and has accepted children as young as 8 weeks.
Inspired by the success of the Tawheed Center's hifz program, which has really become the gold standard for local mosque's religious instruction, Ms. Ali explained to TMO that the Bloomfield Montessori preschool will offer a hifz program patterned on Tawheed's–with reliance on Calvert's home school curriculum, and reliance on Shaykh Ahmad, a trained qari–to instruct the children in tajweed and memorization.
The hifz program at Bloomfield will be for 1st and 2nd grade students. Ms. Ali explained that "three or four" students have enrolled in the hifz program so far, and that the class will be capped at ten. The hifz program will cost $600 per month. The regular Montessori program is $700 per month. Preschool is $550 per month, and the school is available to parents for the entire year if they want.
Local Mosques and Ramadan
Farmington–August 26–FCNA calculations this year coincided with the Saudi ruling regarding the beginning of Ramadan, leaving most Southeast Michigan Sunni mosques on the same note with regard to the beginning and perhaps also the ending of Ramadan.
FCNA, the Fiqh Council of North America, which calculates based on the physical visibility of the moon in Mecca, determined that the Ramadan moon, which entered early Thursday morning, would not be visible after sunset in Saudi on Thursday therefore the Ramadan month was said to begin Saturday.
The Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia in somewhat of a surprise announcement on Thursday said also that fasting would begin Saturday.
Other nations fasting Saturday included Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei–the majority of Sunni nations. Four nations however began fasting Friday, including Turkey, Albania, Bosnia, and Libya.
Shi'a followers of the Lebanese marja Sayyed Muhammad Hussein Fadlullah also began fasting Friday, relying also on calculations. However, followers of other Shi'a maraja began fasting Saturday.
Local Michigan mosques mainly began fasting Saturday, however with varying reasoning. The Tawheed Center of Farmington, the Muslim Center of Detroit, and Bloomfield Muslim Unity Center all began Saturday based on following the recommendations of FCNA.
The Flint Islamic Center, MCA of Ann Arbor, and the Grand Blanc Islamic Center began Saturday as well, but for the reason that Saudi Arabia had announced it would begin fasting on Saturday.
MCWS, the Canton mosque, also following FCNA. 'Isha and tarawih at MCWS will begin at 10 for the first 10 days, then 9:45 for the second 10 days, and 9:30 for the final 10 days.
Dr. Saleem of the Flint Islamic Center on Corunna explained that 'Eid will also be based on the Saudi 'Eid. 'Isha and tarawih at FIC will be at 10pm for the first 2 weeks and at 9:30pm for the final 2 weeks.
Flint is having a community dinner every Saturday night, with about 500 people, Dr. Saleem explained to TMO.
After Ramadan many of the local mosques likely including Flint, intend to participate in the mass 'Eid celebration at the Rock Financial Showplace, continuing last year's beginning of the tradition.

Joining Bruce Coville's earlier prose adaptations of Shakespeare's plays is this picture book treatment of the Bard's most popular work ever. The tender story of the young star-crossed lovers from warring families, Romeo and Juliet has moved audiences to tears for four hundred years. And Coville tells it in a way that will surely whet the appetite of young audiences, who will then find even greater enjoyment in the original. As with his earlier adaptations, Coville expertly combines his own dramatic language with key lines from the play. Dennis Nolan, who illustrated Coville's version of A Midsummer Night's Dream, contributes stunning paintings, including a gatefold of the famous balcony scene. In addition to A Midsummer Night's Dream, which Publishers Weekly called "A first rate entree to the Bard," Coville also retold The Tempest and Macbeth. Of the latter, School Library Journal said, "Coville's muscular sentences, full of dramatic word choices, make this a good read-aloud." Both Macbeth and A Midsummer Night's Dream were honored as ALA Quick Picks for Young Adults.

That evening you'll dine at one of Akaroa's best restaurants… where you can relax and reminisce about your successful trip across Banks Peninsula.

Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Occupy Protests in Spain Inspire Anonymous to 'Operation Spain'
Large protests against austerity measures have roiled Spain as demonstrators rallied across Madrid on Tuesday. The protests were spawned by economic woes and have targeted politicians and government facilities.
They climaxed Tuesday night with protesters surrounding the Spanish congress building in action dubbed "Occupy Congress." Clashes with police ensued, resulting in multiple arrests and fueling the wrath of Anonymous.
The hacktivists issued a press release expressing their solidarity with the Spanish occupiers and announcing a "Operation Spain" in support of their efforts.
Anonymous said the livestreams of "the horrendous brutality on the part of the Spanish National Police" against the protesters prompted the hackers to remove "from the Internet the web site of the Spanish National Police located at www.policia.es." They say the site will be kept offline as "long as we continue to watch scenes of brutality."
Anonymous won't stop there, though: Read More

The Impact Sewing Machines had on Every Day Life
The Before Sewing Machine Issue
Sewing machines changed the dynamic of business and labor for the Industrial Revolution. Before sewing machines were created many women spent large amounts of time maintaining their families clothing as well as working as seamstresses or in large industries where large quantities of sewn products are made. One garment of clothing could easily take hours out of the day to mend while a new outfit could take days to create. A good seamstress could create a dress within 10 hours of steady sewing and 14 hours to create a men's dress shirt with constant sewing. Every day home sewers it would take much more time to complete these tasks. So much time in fact that many people had only two sets of clothing, one outfit to work in and the other was their Church outfit.
How did Sewing Machines Change the World?
With the creation of the sewing machine the time it took to create every day clothing items was greatly reduced. With the first sewing machines dresses could be completed within an hour while dress shirts could be completed within less than an hour and a half. Sewing machines greatly reduced labor allowing women to take up other household issues or be able to enjoy some leisure time.
With the invention of the best sewing machines it allowed companies to open up that mass produced clothing products so that women no longer had

Who prednisone for dogs for sale australia guess The get.to maintain and create their households clothes. With this industrial move the price of clothing went down drastically because there wasn't a need to hire extra workers to complete the production. Sewing machines also allowed companies to mass produce their clothing which allowed for the demand to
be filled and brought clothing prices down even more.
With the invention of sewing machines women had more time to seek out additional employment opportunities so that they could help their families financially.
The Negative
There were some negative aspects of the sewing machine. With such an industrial machine the need for labor was greatly reduced and some workers who could not adapt to the machines were left without jobs. This unemployment rate was diminished slightly by the jobs that were becoming available for workers in the clothing industries.
What Did Sewing Machines Change?
Not only did sewing machines help lessen the burden on homemakers it also changed the face of clothing forever. With less time to create outfits many seamstresses were able to branch out and experiment with different clothing styles. The production of the sewing machine also increased productivity in other industries such as cotton and textures because these industries had to work harder to meet the demand of material needed to complete these clothing.

mini fine print tee
by ACNE STUDIOS
Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expression) is a creative collective founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1996. The collective became established as a clothing line in 1997, when co-founder Jonny Johansson created 100 pairs of jeans in raw denim with red stitching and distributed them to friends throughout Stockholm. These novel jeans became the foundation of the brand and lead to the launch of Acne Studios' first full collection in 1998. The concept behind the line is a tone of subtle luxury in understated styles feeling as though they were borrowed from another person's wardrobe. Each piece in the collection is simplistic yet stands out on its own while pairing easily with others.

Just south of Lampedusa island, the Italian Navy transfers 219 migrants to their ship. The migrants include Pakistanis, Syrians, Moroccans, Nigerians, and Nepalis who had left the coast of Libya with smugglers the night before. The Navy ship was operating as part of Italy's "Mare Nostrum" project, searching for boats with migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea. The Open Society Foundations work to advance fair treatment of migrants and refugees.

Arresting the Spread of HIV
In many countries, HIV rates are climbing among sex workers and people who use drugs. One of the main reasons is that they are criminalized. Too often sex workers and drug users are forced to choose between protecting their health and staying safe from police harassment or arrest. But a novel approach to law enforcement is changing this, and may prove as critical to HIV prevention as a condom or clean needle. Through partnerships with HIV experts and community groups, police such as those in Kyrgyzstan, depicted above, are playing a critical role in the fight against HIV.

No matter what a holiday or celebration calls for, in New Orleans, rest assured that food will play a major role in the festivities. Whether that's cooking at home for family and friends or learning how to cook from local masters, food always finds a way into the holiday fun.
Cooking demonstrations have become a popular travel activity, as visitors often love to take home a new set of recipes or cooking methods from the places they visit. Already known worldwide for its unique and timeless cuisine, New Orleans is a city rife with opportunities to bring a fresh cooking experience home for the holidays.
This year, as part of the holiday celebrations, The Market Stage at the French Market will host a series of holiday cooking demonstrations by local professional chefs. These demonstrations will give both locals and visitors a chance to see various dishes, prepared by the masters themselves, that they can bring home to their own holiday tables.
The demonstrations take place on Tuesdays through Fridays in December from Dec. 17th through 20th at 2pm, and they last about 30 minutes, plus samplings to follow. Admission is free for all, but seating is limited.
