text: When and how did you plan on giving them out? I would imagine it would be appropriate if you were waiting in a long line and a nearby child is crying or fussy. I think a scenario like that would be OK if you get the parents' permission before giving anything out.

Hey! Just in the last day or two the site has changed and you can't view threads without first signing in. Is this intentional?
I don't like it at all -- there are many times I just want to see what's going on without logging in. Plus, the only way for friends to see your trip reports is for them to open accounts. Not everyone wants to join. Also, I wonder how this affects google searches and if a link will even come up now that the site whips you over to the log-in page?

Just noticed this past week that our Sub Zero 424 is warming up, not holding temperature. It is seven yrs. old. I have a sneaking suspicion that I need to vacuum the condenser coils, which I admit, I've never done. Does this make sense to you guys??? Don't want to call the technician if I don't need to! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It does not cost anything to clean the coils and vent grill. Then see what happens. |
If that doesn't solve the problem, then it may be time for a tech visit. You can also utilize some of what you paid for when you bought the unit -- a live person at SubZero who will try to be helpful. kas |

Taylor Swift Buys Mansion Next to Ethel Kennedy
Trying to take things in her relationship with Conor Kennedy slow, Taylor Swift has gone ahead and purchased a mansion across the way from the Kennedy's.
We were onto this a couple of months ago if you recall, but now we have word that it's official. Swift has reportedly paid $4.5 million for a home across the street from Ethel Kennedy, Conor's grandmother. The 4,400 square foot house, with its 7 bedrooms, 6 baths, and an acre of land, sits beachside in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. You can see a photo gallery of her new digs at TMZ.
Swift has been dating the (now) 18-year-old Conor for several months now, and at first, it seemed like they were taking things pretty quick. Now with this, there's no question about it. I predict a ton of sappy, heartbroken songs will come out of this relationship when things finally go sour. It's bound to happen.

World CrownOne of the biggest paved short-track Super Late Model races every season - The World Crown 300 at Gresham Motorsports Park in Jefferson, GA - will go national In 2014 as the 31st-annual classic will be telecast into more than 80 million homes this fall. The Saturday, August 9 event will be a two-hour broadcast delivered on taped-delayed basis to multiple network, cable and satellite providers throughout the United States. Included in that group are DISH Network, MAV TV, TUFF TV, Comcast Sports South and Direct TV. Meanwhile, the on-site action at this year's 'Crown' is sure to be rocking on and off the track throughout the weekend. The 2014 World Crown festivities get underway on Wednesday, August 6 with the gates opening for campers at Noon Eastern Time. Race Haulers will enter Friday, August 8 with a four-hour Super Late Model practice to follow from 5-9 p.m. The GMP Trackside Parking and Main Grandstand will be open for fan viewing free of charge.

We are expecting a large field of entries in all divisions as winning the Crown is more important than ever as that story is going to play out to a television audience of millions of people this year. We're also sure of a sellout of our Trackside Parking spots – one of the most unique racing/tailgate opportunities anywhere – and hopeful we'll have a full grandstand where fans will see a great race and act as part of a giant 'studio audience' for the subsequent World Crown 300 two-hour television broadcast. Make sure you're part of the fun – and the history of being at the first televised World Crown 300 – August, Friday-Saturday, 8-9 – at Gresham Motorsports Park In Jefferson GA. World Crown HistoryThe inaugural 1983 World Crown 300 held on November 27, 1983, featured an all-star starting lineup that included Jody Ridley, Mark Martin, Freddy Fryar, Darrell Waltrip, Alan Kulwicki, Rusty Wallace, Bob Senneker, Mike Alexander and the 'Alabama Gang' – Neil Bonnett, Bobby, Donnie and Davey Allison. Wisconsin short-track legend Dick Trickle bested them all in the 1983 World Crown 300. Over the years, the biggest names in auto racing have also captured the race with Waltrip, Mike Eddy, Rich Bickle, Rick Crawford, Paul Kelley, Jimmy Garmon, Ronnie Sanders and Justin Wakefield all taking home the title of 'King Of The Short Tracks.' Preston Peltier is the defending champion of the event after capturing his first World Crown 300 in the 2013 classic. Past Winners

Unique Holiday Gift Ideas for All Ages
There are a whole lotta gift recommendation posts out there. I love them all. I thought I'd give you some ideas that were a little out of the ordinary. Stuff you might not think of, but you may wish to gift to someone in your circle of friends or family. Here ya go… my favorite gift ideas for 2012:
I'm in love with these Baby Bloomers. Such a sweet idea. ($19.31)
This is an Alex I Can Cook toy. Yum yum, every day is spaghetti day! Fill and spill a soft pot with pasta and vegetables. Squeak the carrot, rattle the radish and jingle the tomato. ($16.72)
My 3 year old nephew is getting this Reversible Superhero Cape this year. It comes with a mask too. My son would have gone nuts of this! ($30.00)
And my 5 year old niece is getting this: Pretend & Play School. I was a teacher for 12 years, and I know how much kids like to pretend to be the teacher. The box says ages 3+, but I'm thinking this is best for 5+. There's a moveable clock, a map, fill-in-your-own calendar, pointer, eraser, hall passes, awards, worksheets, bell, stickers, report cards, etc. So cute. ($26.27)
I'm saving Magformers for a 5/6 year old gift idea. Kids can use the magnetic shapes to create imaginative and creative structures. ($37.30)
I think these Carpet Skates are fun for people who live in shivering, snowy/rainy climates. Kids can get a little exercise by skating around on your carpet! ($19.57)
I thought of the iHome Speaker for a teenager, but my husband has one too and uses it quite often! It just plugs into your iPhone, iPod, iTouch or whatever i-device you have and you've got an instant mini-speaker to play your iTunes! ($17.58)
And then I saw these ADORABLE iPhone covers for the iPhone 4 on Etsy. Ice cream sandwiches, Spam, Peeps, Cracker Jacks, Matzah, etc. ($17.99)
Slippers for the Baseball Lover in your life (choose your team @ $13.99) or slippers for the Zombie-crazed person in your life too ($19.99)
A brand-new biography of Bruce Springsteen has just been published ($15.86), so if you know anyone who is as obsessed with The Boss as my husband is, they might enjoy it! And OF COURSE, I'm suggesting that you begin watching Homeland (Showtime) because it is *absolutely* the best show on television. If you haven't seen it, you simply must. I feel like I'm watching a really good movie every time a new episode is on. It would make a great gift. ($34.96)
My sister bought me a Magnabilities Necklace for my birthday, and I TOTALLY LOVE IT! The decorative magnets are inserts, so you can constantly change the look of your necklace. You can get them in all shapes ($18 to $25)- on different kinds of cords or chains ($6 to $22), and then you can choose from zillions of magnetic inserts from all kinds of themes ($5).
Phew. That's it… those are my picks. See anything you like?
Disclosure: There are some Amazon affiliate links included in this post. If you click through and purchase through one of the links, it makes me (literally) a few pennies that help pay for things like great giveaways on RecipeGirl.com! I received no free products in the writing of this post. These are just some cute things I've come across that I wanted to share with you!

Specifications, Pricing and Availability
Even though the new Xtreme has a new model number, PX-xxxM5Pro (the original M5 Pro was PX-xxxM5P), we didn't find an updated spec sheet on Plextor's website.
The drive uses the latest Marvell 88SS9187 controller and pairs it with the latest Toshiba 19nm Toggle NAND. The controller is just as interesting as the new flash. The 88SS9187 now supports AES 256-bit encryption and a new ECC algorithm that increases error recoverability.
Plextor has three capacity sizes for Xtreme including 128GB, 256GB and finally a large 512GB model. The xxx in the model name is the capacity size; today we're looking at PX-256M5Pro.
Plextor ships Xtreme with a five year warranty, desktop adapter bracket and a nice software package that includes backup software. We did manage to finally track down Xtreme for sale after a long search. You can't look for the drive under Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme. You have to use Plextor M5P Xtreme. It's a bit of a pain, but now that you know the task will be a lot easier.
Newegg has the 256GB drive in stock for $219.99, a $10 premium over the original M5 Pro 256GB.

The Black Crowes have announced a new leg of U.S. dates for their Lay Down With Number 13 tour, September 5-December 14, encompassing headline dates and festival/special event shows (see the itinerary and critical praise below).
The band is also gearing up for their co-headlining tour with the Tedeschi Trucks Band which runs July 19 in Nashville, TN through August 15 in Rochester Hills, MI.The bands Lay Down With Number 13 tour--ending a two-year hiatus--kicked off March 24 with five sold-out U.K. shows. Theyve been flying high since in the U.S. and in Europe, where they performed June 18 to July 6, including headlining shows, festivals and two stadium concerts with Bruce Springsteen.
As always, Chris Robinson (lead vocals, guitar), Rich Robinson (guitar, vocals), Steve Gorman (drums), Sven Pipien (bass), Adam MacDougall (keyboards) and new member Jackie Greene (guitar, vocals)--reach deep inside their songbook and extensive catalog. They perform greatly varied set lists and establish a deep, magical bond with their audiences.
The band has sold over 35 million albums and are known as one of rocks best live acts. These powerful performances are captured on their latest release WISER FOR THE TIME, a four-sided vinyl collection and double album digital download (Silver Arrow/Megaforce Records).
Heres some critical praise:
The band brought its A-game...the instrumentals were dynamic and concise... [Chris Robinsons] expressive voice can still do plenty of heavy-lifting...They sounded lean and tight and in fighting shape...The middle of the show included some wild instrumental odysseys. None was more visceral and transcendent than during Thorn in My Pride, one of several highlights. The others: the fusion of Hard to Handle with Hush the Billy Joe Royal song made famous by Deep Purple; Soul Singing; and She Talks to Angels.'"
--Timothy Finn, KANSAS CITY STAR, 6/1/13
a high-volume, high-octane performance that reclaimed the Crowes stature as a fierce, music-first live act.
--Gary Graff, THEOAKLANDPRESS.COM, 4/15/13
Wiser Time is shaping up to be for the Crowes what Dreams is for Allmans--a philosophical psychedelic epic.
--Scott McLennan, BOSTONGLOBE.COM, 4/15/13
"...the band was relentless, hammering out their set with conviction and urgency, making every note count...Steve Pipien, their elite bassist is beyond stellar. His lines and fills created a tapestry upon which the rest of the band could rely on sonically. The man is in a realm of his own."
--Charles Rosenberg, EXAMINER.COM, 4/4/13
the Black Crowes have gracefully touched or referenced all that is great in roots and rock music over the course of a monster discography with swagger, piss, and vinegar Wiser Time gave the crowd a brief reprieve from the incendiary blues-rock salvos of guitar and pounding drums of Remedy while showcasing Chris' huge range--still unspoiled at his age. She Talks to Angels was a crowd pleaser to be sure, an aural sigh during the otherwise high-octane performance, however, it was the rockers and the burners that signified the return of the Black Crowes to their roots as an absolutely deadly rock 'n' roll unit. Rich Robinson's ability as guitarist has grown immensely over the years; once content being mostly a perfect rhythm machine, he pulled out leads worthy of any one of the band's famed former guitar foils, and his slide playing in particular made for some of the set's zenith guitar moments.
--David Von Bader, NEW TIMES BROWARD-PALM BEACH, 5/6/13

I sorted through years worth of stuff for the last 4 days. I made a lot of progress. I figured it was a new year and I can't keep everything, right? What happened was I got a Kindle for Christmas from DH and a few days agao I bougtht a Kindle e-book on clutter of course! I read only a few chapters of the book and I was SO motivated to get started and sort. I followed the directions in the book because I really was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start, so I started with the part that bothered me the most. Anyway, I'll try to post a pic - but it's a work in progress. I refer back to this e-book to motivate me and plan on tackling more this weekend. I highly recommend it to anyone who is in my situation and needs a helping hand and easy to follow advice. It's like a professional organizer helping me. It's on amazon - kindle book:
"Goodbye Clutter, Hello Simplicity". I am also going to read the follow up to the first book which will then keep my organized! (keep your fingers crossed! LOL!) :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Kudos!! I'm sure your progress will be as big of a motivator as the book. XX'd fingers and thanks for sharing. |
Yay! Do something nice for yourself and post some pictures! |
I have lots of books on cleaning. I'll try the one you recommended! |

Iloverofpinkoses, the kindle is definitely a clutter buster. No more stacks of books on the nightstands. I downloaded a sample and the book seemed to be about the emotional aspects, almost like a hoarding mentality. There were a few short things about if you don't use it for six months to dispose of the items. Which I think that has to apply to the actual item. Otherwise the Christmas stuff would have to go. LOL! So I guess what I'm asking does it have practical organizing tips? Or is this more into the reasons people hold on to too much stuff? |
I saw Peter Walsh on Oprah just last week. He suggested you pick up every single item in your home, look at it and ask "Are you helping my vision of my home?" The answer will tell you whether to keep it or toss it. If you keep it, you must find a place for it. (That's my problem-too much stuff, not enough "places".) |

I just never knew how humorous it would turn out to be.
To read more or comment...Ya' know how employees will chatter away about the boss when the boss isn't around? Those chattering employees are oh-so-sure that they know more than the boss and are happy to explain to fellow workers, whenever the boss is out of earshot, how they would do things differently and how the boss is clueless and so forth. A common dynamic.
Last night's hour long Obama press conference was like a situation where behind-the-boss's-back chatter was captured and presented in question form in front of the boss. "Reporters", like the AP's Jennifer Loven, NBC's Chuck Todd and Chip Reid, ABC's Jake Tapper, Fox's Major Garrett and CNN's cocky ass, Ed Henry......all critics of Obama's administration....found out last night that the boss is the boss for a reason.

(See Sunday's AP piece entitled, "President learning campaign and reality can clash.") Same old, same old, they say. As any honest critic will agree, it's the trend of the person, not the isolated incident, that justifies the severest criticism.....but whatever....

We're free from the unenlightened nonsense often witnessed in backward countries like, say, Iran, whose silly embarassment of a government includes an "Office for Promotion of Virtue and Prohibition of Vice." Can you imagine? And who could forget the barbarian government in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan which sported their own, "Office for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prohibition of Vice?"

So righteous a man, Mr Starr, that he wrote his own national pornographic account in concluding the Lewinsky circus. A detailed pornographic account of the world-and-nation-threatening event of a very willing Monica Lewinsky fellating a more-than-willing-to-be-fellated Bill Clinton. Mr. Starr saved the nation by exposing all the graphic details that make up consensual, you know, sex.

The scene behind him was always a clusterf*ck of shouting and arm waving and mounds of order paper on the floor....you know....serious stuff. Why so serious?

Just what does it mean when radio host Rush Limbaugh, and now many others, say they hope Obama fails? What does that mean? And what would it look like, if indeed, Obama failed? Is "hoping for Obama failure" the same as hoping for American failure? And if it is....is it treasonous to root openly for America's failure?

The Gingrich-led 1994 takeover of Congress quickly went to Newt's head like a good bong hit....leading his self-pumped ego to threaten Bill Clinton, a popular president, with a shutdown of the federal government. The Newton, properly spanked by a much smarter, and more popular president, lost credibility....and power...and his Speaker position....and he hasn't, really, ever recovered.
To read more or comment...I caught a couple hours of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Friday afternoon. I heard Mike Pence (R-IN) act all stern as he spewed forth a bunch of nonsense. I saw Mike Huckabee use some of his old-fashioned Christian bile in yet another attempt to be humorous. Lead balloon. Speaker after speaker came forward and yet not one new idea. Not one. Sad, really.

After teaching at Aligarh for a while he came to England and finished his PhD. from the University of Glasgow in in the year 1961 where he worked in the Department of Genetics.
Obaid Siddiqui was offered a post-doctoral position at the MIT to work with , Dr. Alan Garen, a well known man in genetics. He came to MIT worked there for a while and then they moved to the University of Pennsylvania. Together they discovered the suppressors of "nonsense" mutations that led to the discovery of "nonsense" codons, the stop signals in the genetic code. In early seventies he moved to California to work with Dr. Seymour Benzer of the California Institute of Technology. Their work led to identification of several genes that control nerve conduction and synaptic transmission. Obaid and his associates' pioneering work on neurogenetics of fruit fly, Drosophila, has opened up the prospects of an integrated genetic and neurobiological investigation of chemosensory perception.
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, invited him to start a molecular biology group at the institute . Obaid recruited top-class scientists and put the Institutes's molecular biology group on world map of genetics. Later, with the support of government of India, he founded National Center for Biological Sciences at Bangalore. The aim of this Center is basic research in the frontier areas of biology and currently it has many distinguished scientists working in various fields with state-of-the-art facilities.
Prof. Siddiqi's contributions have been widely recognized.

He has received many prizes and awards, including the civil honors Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan.
Sir Syed Day 2009 in the San Francisco Bay Area
December 3, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Ras Hafiz Siddiqui
The annual Sir Syed Day 2009 gathering in the San Francisco Bay Area once again brought together south-Asian Alumni of this esteemed university and a rainbow of enthusiasts of the Urdu language at the India Community Center in the city of Milpitas on Saturday November 14th. And once again great pains were taken during this two part educational and literary gala to keep the legacy of a great man alive and to highlight the efforts of the Aligarh Muslim University Alumni Association of Northern California (AMUAA-CA) in raising funds to offer educational opportunities to several disadvantaged students to enable them to attend AMU.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (1817 to 1898), the founder of the Mohammedan Anglo Oriental (MAO) College which became a full-fledged university in 1920 was a remarkable individual who defied the odds and was able to provide an avenue for Indian Muslims to get a scientific-modern education at a time when the community was shunning progressive ideas. And because of him and the institution he founded this event became possible because Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is recognized today for its academic and not to forget artistic contributions (e.g. Indian Actor Naseeruddin Shah).
The evening started with fine food from Chandni and some valuable networking opportunities as both the "Old Boys" and now "Old Girls" who have had the privilege of attending this unique institution located in Aligarh, India caught up on their current lives, the past, and speculated on the future. AMU, which started off as a somewhat exclusive Muslim university has now acquired a more religiously diverse student population whose its ethnic diversity has remained legendary. Scions of families from Peshawar to Dacca (Dhaka of the old) and from Kashmir to Hyderabad Deccan all have attended AMU from the early 1900's onwards and some graduates have gone on to lead countries, states and other educational institutions. Today, the university population is global and they including over two hundred in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Sitting at the table with Prof. Munibur Rahman and Prof. Steven Poulos was indeed an honor. We will revisit Prof. Rahman later in the report. His friend Dr. Poulos who has been Director of the South Asia Language Resource Center at UC Berkeley and the University of Chicago and did research at AMU in the late 1960's also shared his feelings on his visit there and where things stand today. The program at the University of Chicago has been instrumental in creating the first online Pashto dictionary and has created a Pashto proficiency test and also offers online courses in elementary Sindhi and intermediate Urdu.
The formal evening proceedings started off with an invocation and Ms. Huma Abidi made the necessary introductions, welcoming back Aligarians to Sir Syed Day and reminiscing about her own past experiences at the historic campus. She then invited AMUAA President Nihal Khan to present his thoughts. Khan Sahib highlighted facts on how the Sir Syed's memory and the Aligarh tradition has been kept alive for the past decade in the San Francisco Bay area but also reminded everyone that there was a dual purpose for the evening which is to raise funds to provide students in need to get an education, making the purpose of this Mushaira (Poetry Recital) broader. He also thanked a list of sponsors for making this gathering possible.
Next, Keynote Speaker Dr. Aslam Abdullah who wears many hats including that of leading both American and Indian Muslims in thought, started by stating that in cities all over the world Aligarh Alumni pay tribute to that giant of a man (Sir Syed). Quoting from poet Allama Iqbal looking through Sir Syed's eyes, Dr. Abdullah explained how Sir Syed's efforts started when the Muslims of India were at their lowest self-defeating point. Modern scientific education was negated by the religious leadership of the time to the point when they defined the poor Muslim conditions post 1857 as a divine scheme to be accepted. "Sir Syed challenged that view," said Dr. Abdullah. He gave the example of how at one time England was debating how many teeth a chicken had. The debate went on and on till Francis Bacon simply asked why don't you open the chicken's mouth and find out? He said that Similarly, Sir Syed promoted analytical thought. "He wanted to inspire the younger generation," he added. He wanted his community in India, especially the young to understand both the Holy Quran and modern thinking. . "He did not want to build an ordinary university," said Dr. Abdullah. This was a revolutionary movement inclusive of others but people mistakenly made it a minority issue, which is not correct. "Today, we need to re-awaken that dream," he said.
After a brief ceremony for a local Aligarh Cricket League where the "Man of the Tournament" and the winning team was presented awards, everyone was reminded of the fundraiser (www.aeef.net) and the first part of the event came to its conclusion with the traditional singing of the university anthem the "Tarana-e-Aligarh" in which many in the audience participated.
The second part of this program was once again the Urdu poetry recital or "Mushaira" which draws on the essence of a culture, which is associated with the Urdu language. Dr. Nausha Asrar from Houston, Texas conducted the proceedings and introduced all the poets and invited Prof. Munibur Rahman to preside as the most senior person present. And from that point started a literary journey of wit, humor, reason, wisdom and in the end emotion moved many listeners.
Starting with local San Francisco resident Engineer Vasmi Abidi who questioned why neighbors who share walls here don't know each other, to India 's Tahir Faraz asking why trees of friendship have little support from even a gentle wind while the trees of hate today are so full of fruit? And then Abbas Tabish from Lahore, Pakistan explained how his own condition has started to reflect the condition of his house and the lament of those who sell their village land and soul to big cities for a song. Nausha Asrar next added both his wisdom and humor while Khalid Irfan from New York was at his satirical best about donkeys in public places and the government and why one more mule would not make a big difference. He was also for the exchange of female Indian Bollywood dancers with extremists from across the border for better Pakistan India ties (We don't believe that the Indians would agree).
Senior poet Meraj Faizabadi from India next brought the audience back down to earth speaking of glass houses and dashed hopes amidst betrayals. On Aligarh he asked what is a flame without its spreading light? On India-Pakistan friendship he explained that he was all ready to reach across the gap that divides the two people, but strangely he was still trying to find where that gap really was?
The other senior poet, Waseem Barelvi also from India requested that other avenues of expressing sadness be found, since his tears are now too old to express his feelings anymore. He spoke about the human relationship with God and the uniqueness of the Aligarh culture or "Tehzeeb". He said that one should try to give up on expecting generosity from others to protect one from painful disappointment but on the other hand, one should be ready to hit a wall if the cause is just. And yes on the topic of love without which the language of Urdu poetry would remain incomplete, if you have lost in love, your loss is painful but in that loss it is still a gain, he said.
Last but not least the President of this Mushaira, Michigan resident Prof. Munibur Rahman, who holds two Masters Degrees from Aligarh, in History (1942) and Persian (1944) and a contemporary of this writer's father, shared his thoughts. Prof. Steven Poulos was quite accurate in describing him earlier as he turned out to be an amazing presenter. Someone who can think in English, Urdu and Farsi simultaneously, he moved us all to an emotional level seldom reached. The pain of old age, the parting of his beloved wife, visiting a relative with Alzheimer's disease, all this reporter can say is "Maan Gayay Sahib" (We knew that we were in the presence of excellence). Several people were moved to tears with his Nazm "Guftugu" (Conversation) written for his late wife in which he tries to bridge a gap between his current life and her death. Down to her "Chabi Ka Guccha" (Key Ring) a stark reminder of her, we found out what true love was. Prof. Rahman also highlighted his trials and tribulations on aging, trying to reach out to busy children and losing one's old friends in a unique and beautiful manner. His standing ovation was certainly well deserved. All this writer can add is that I was humbled in his presence and Prof. Munibur Rahman is one fine example of some of the people who graduated from and taught at Aligarh.
In conclusion, this was possibly one of the finest evenings that the local AMUAA has put together in the past decade or so. Our congratulations to all the local volunteers who put this event together and a word of thanks to Nihal Khan, Dr. Shaheer Khan and their team for continuing to keep us in mind when Sir Syed Day comes around every year. It was almost surreal but this time "Mehfil Ka Mahol Bahot Khoobsoorti Say Ban Giya" (the environment of the event came to a beautiful medium naturally). Bahot Khoob!

AMU Alumni Celebrate Sir Syed Day in New York
By Shaheer Khan
Zakir Ali Khan Receiving the Award. |
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, the founder of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) was born on October 17, 1817. Sir Syed, the famous 19th century scholar, historian and social reformer spent most of his time on promotion of social, economic and educational conditions of Indian Muslims.
Sir Syed's untiring and painstaking efforts over a long period of time bore fruit when he was able to establish the Mohammedan Anglo Oriental (MAO) College in 1875, which subsequently developed into Aligarh Muslim University in 1920. The institute was founded with the primary objective of removing the educational backwardness of the Muslim community. In this task Sir Syed sought cooperation of all the communities and the institute was open to all, irrespective of caste creed and religion. For Sir Syed Ahmed Khan it was impossible to conceive the growth and progress of India without simultaneous development of communities in harmony, brotherhood and cooperation. Today AMU symbolizes on the one hand the secular ideals of the Republic of India and on the other the aspirations of more than 150 million Muslims in India.
The AMU alumni are spread in large numbers in all over the world. On Sir Syed's 192nd birth anniversary-on October 17- hundreds of thousands of students, alumni, and well wishers of AMU around the world celebrated the founder's day popularly known as 'Sir Syed Day'.
The AMU Old Boys' Association in New York also celebrated the day at Akbar Restaurant in Long Island, New York.
The evening started with light refreshments. The formal program started off with the recitation of some verses from the Holy Qur'an by Ms. Naila Ali. Mr. Faiq Siddiqi and Well known TV personality in New York was emcee for the program.
Secretary of the association, Mr. Muzaffar Habib presented the annual report and thanked the volunteers and sponsors. He stressed the need to keep the Aligarh tradition alive and spoke about what needs to be done to achieve association's goals. He presented a plaque to Mr. and Mrs. Riaz Alvi for their services to the association.
Ex-president of the association Dr. Masood Haider presented the obituaries of Dr. Abdul Bari and Haneef Akhgar Malihabadi, popular poet of USA, who passed away this year. Mrs. Bari was presented a plaque to recognize the contributions of her late husband to the association.
On the occasion, Mr. Muhammad Zakir Ali Khan was also honored with "Life Time Achievement Award" for his outstanding services to the continuation of the spirit of the Aligarh Movement and to the cause of higher education in Pakistan. The prize carried cash amount of Rs. 1, 00,000 and Citation.
Born in 1926 at Rampur (UP) Zakir Ali Khan did his B.Sc. in 1945 and B.Sc. Engineering in 1948 from the Aligarh Muslim University. He is one of the founders of the Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology in Karachi. He has served as the general secretary of the Aligarh Old Boy's Association, Karachi for almost 4 decades and has edited the Association's monthly magazine 'Tehzeeb' for many years.
The author of number of books Zakir Ali Khan was awarded the first ' International Award for Literature' instituted by the Aligarh Muslim University, at last year's world alumni summit at Aligarh.
The keynote address of Zakir Ali Khan was equally inspiring. He shared Aligarh anecdotes and wisdom that just had to be appreciated and emphasized on team work which resulted in the establishment of Sir Syed University. Mr. Khan said that the best tribute to Sir Syed is to take his educational movement forward.
Mr. Zakir Ali Khan expressed his gratitude for the award and he donated the whole prize money to the welfare of AMU students.
The first part of the program ended with the traditional singing of the Tarana of AMU which was presented by a group.
The second part of the program was dedicated for an interesting Mushaira wherein some famous poets from India and Pakistan including Tahir Faraz (India), Abbas Tabish (Pakistan), Meraj Faizabadi (India), Waseem Barelvi (India), Zamin Jafri (Canada), Saleem Kausar (Pakistan), and Manzar Bhopali (India) were invited who enthralled the audiences for almost four hours.
A new website (www.aligarhmovement.com) on Sir Syed and his mission "Aligarh Movement" was launched by one of the flag bearer of Aligarh Movement, Muhammad Zakir Ali Khan.
The proceedings started with a brief introduction of the website and its developer, Mr. Afzal Usmani by this scribe.
Mr. Afzal Usmani spoke on the need of a website where introductory information and Sir Syed, Aligarh movement and prominent Aligarians is easily accessible. He said that the new website would fill the vacuum and would inspire others to work in this direction.
While inaugurating the website, Mohammad Zakir Ali Khan expressed the need of such website which can fulfill the void in cyberspace to carry on the mission of Sir Syed and Aligarh Movement. This is an era of information Technology and people look for information on internet because it is easy and accessible from anywhere on a click of a button. He congratulated Mr. Afzal Usmani, the brain behind this website and his team and extended his support to make this website as a reference portal for all the information of Aligarh Movement to carry on mission of Sir Syed.
Prof. Waseem Barelvi, famous Urdu poet also spoke on the occasion. He appreciated the efforts for making the material on Sir Syed, his associates, and Aligarh movement available at one place.

Aligarh Bachchon Ka Ghar: A Distinctive Orphanage in India
Mozaffar Ali of ALigarh Bachchon Ka Ghar Orphanage came to Houston last week as guest of Helping Hand. During his stay, he went on Radio Sangeet for an interview, talked to persons at Madrasae Islamiah after Mughrib Prayers and met community members at Shahnai Restaurant.
Mozaffar Ali informed the significance of taking care of an orphan in Islam. He said that this orphanage was started at Qasimpur Road Aligarh with 10 children in 1998 and today has around 120 orphans. Idea is to support the orphans till the age of high school. Some of the goals and objectives of the orphanage are to develop teamwork, self-reliance and competitive spirit among these children and to save children from forced labor, illiteracy, begging and deprivation. The orphanage compound can take around 100 children and it is already housing 120 children. New construction on the second storey is needed over the existing orphanage and it will consist of three halls (each can be constructed for $7,500). On each child, the orphanage spends about $1,000/year. A bus carries children to various schools in the area and on return in the evening; children go through extracurricular and moral building activities plus complete their homework.
Mozaffar Ali placed a target for the Houston Community to raise $7,500 (only) for one of these three halls of this project, of which $6,500 have been collected. For more information on ALigarh Bachchon Ka Ghar, one can visit their website www.ALigarhChildren.Org and for all Tax Deductible contributions, visit www.HelpingHandOnline.Org (mention ALigarh Bachchon Ka Ghar in the comments).

It's unanimous. The NFL's 32 owners hate the labor deal that they agreed to in 2006. They think it's lopsided and unfair and claim it makes it difficult for them to maintain financial growth.
But people are struggling to feel sympathy for the league and its owners, mainly because they're billionaires. And people who aren't billionaires don't usually like billionaires. But also because 30 of the league's 32 owners signed off on the current deal in '06.
The two nay votes came from Cincinnati's Mike Brown and Buffalo's Ralph Wilson, which wasn't overly surprising. Both are considered to be fairly stubborn and neither are known for spending recklessly. Brown and Wilson thought that surrendering 60 percent of total revenue to the players was unreasonable.
It looks as though they were right. Two years later, the owners voted unanimously to opt out of the deal early.
So what happened in 2006? As Gary Myers of the NY Daily News puts it: "Looking for peace at any price, the owners caved in."
The owners — all but two of 'em — pulled a Lloyd Braun: Serenity now — insanity later.
Myers spoke with Wilson recently about his decision to vote against the '06 proposal, and in the process dug up an interesting quote from Wilson with five years of hindsight to glorify the context:
"I'm upset about the whole deal and the way it was presented," Wilson said five years ago. "And 59.5% is far too much money for the whole league, not just Buffalo."
Whatever his reason, the fact remains that Wilson voted no when just about everyone else voted yes. If they had listened to him, this might have been settled a long time ago.
"I came into this game 50 years ago because I enjoyed the game of pro football. Not to make money," Wilson said. "In those days, everybody was hoping to break even. We lost money for a number of years. I am really not into the game to make money, but I would like to break even or make a little."
I've been critical of the way in which Wilson operates his football team, and I don't think the 92-year-old should involve himself in personnel matters at this point. That said, it's a shame that Wilson isn't present as the league and players fight over where to move the revenue-sharing dial in the next collective bargaining agreement.
Wilson is a pioneer who won't let the status quo influence him and won't allow himself to become wrapped up in the drama that has ensnared a slew of more involved owners (I'm looking at you, Jerry Richardson).
In a situation like this, we could all actually use a little more Ralph Wilson.

Mike Tyka studied Biochemistry and Biotechnology at the University of Bristol. He obtained his PhD in Biophysics
in 2007 and went on to work as a research fellow at the University of Washington and has
been studying the structure and dynamics of protein molecules. In particular, he
has been interested in protein folding and has been writing computer simulation
software to better understand this fascinating process. Protein folding is the way
our genetic code is interpreted from an abstract sequence of data into the functional
enzymes and nano machines that drive our bodies.
Mike is currently a Visiting Scientist at Google in Seattle.
Mike became involved in creating sculpture and art in 2009 when he helped design and construct Groovik's Cube, a 35ft tall, functional, multi-player Rubik's cube. Since then he's co-founded ALTSpace, a shared art studio in Seattle, and started creating sculptures of protein folds. He hopes to capture some of the hidden beauty of these amazing molecules, make it accessible to the general public, and maybe act as inspiration for those who want to learn more about these fascinating molecules that make life possible.

Then there > is nothing, and I have to cut the power to go on. The symptoms seem like a problem I had installing Gentoo on an *old* Power Mac (one of those really heavy beige boxes). On boot, the initial penguin and a few lines of text were all I saw, and the box seemed dead. However, it turned out that I hadn't loaded the right video driver in the kernel, and so (at the point in the bootup process where it changes video modes) the screen was freezing, though the machine was actually up and running. Some things to check: Is it actually alive? Do the Caps-/Num-Lock keys cause lights to change on the keyboard? If you type your login and password (even though you can't see anything) and then something like "ls -R /" can you hear hard drive activity? How I dealt with the problem when I had it (working from memory here): 1. Wait for boot activity to cease (no hard drive noise) and log in as root (typing blind). 2. "emerge ssh" and wait for hard drive noise to stop. 3. "/etc/init.d/sshd start" and wait a bit. (First time sshd starts, it generates some keys, which can take a few minutes if your machine is slow like that one was.) 4. Go to another box on the LAN and log in to that one. From there, you should be able to build a new kernel, set up yaboot, etc. I hope this is some help to you. :) -- // Carl Hudkins :: Jabber rassilon@... :: PGP 50238D9E // // ==] What would Jeeves do?
