found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Teddy!
Facts about Teddy
- Breed: Chihuahua/Papillon Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Teddy's Info...
I am already neutered, a special needs pet, and up to date with shots.
Meet Teddy, a special needs 4 to 5 month old puppy born without eyes. An over breeding, inbreeding trait that is becoming more common in Chihuahuas, this is the 5th we have had in our rescue. He does very well, finding the food and water right away and loving to play with the other dogs. We think he is part Papillon as he has the very curvy tail and big ears. He is 4 ½ pounds now so expect a bit over 10 pounds at adult. If you are the type of wonderful person that can SEE past his missing eyes and would give him the love he deserves please send in your application found on our web site www.RescueAChi.com and we will set up a meeting for Teddy to meet you. He cannot be placed in a home with a swimming pool or large dogs for his own safety.
Other Pets at Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Teddy, a San Diego Chihuahua/Papillon dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Papillon for sale in San Diego, or seeking a Chihuahua/Papillon dog from a breeder in San Diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Diego already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Diego breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Papillon breeders who help with Chihuahua/Papillon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

I hate you Rob. Completely irrationally I'm blaming you for what just happened to me on EBay. I believe I just got hosed by a Mexican buyer that claims an item never arrived. I didn't provide tracking because to ship from Canada to Mexico is stupid expensive and the buyer declined. I decided to be a nice guy and ship to him anyway (I am a fool) and he filed for non-delivery. Well, without tracking I have no proof and no way will EBay side with me. Not even going to try and fight this one but two crappy postal systems = disaster for me. I'm out $50 and no way am I shipping to Mexico ever again. I don't believe the problem was at the Canadian end either as I shipped seven other auctions out the same day as the one to Mexico and they all arrived. I know this because (miraculously) I received feedback on all of the other auctions. Stoopid eBay. Stupider seller.
Any chance it is still on its way? I bought something from China a few months back and it literally took a full month to get to me for some reason. Guess they are making delivery by rowboat these days.
If I could avoid eBay to clear out the extras in my collection I would. I just don't know of any great other options. I've only had tepid response from listing things on Craigslist.
I was surprised to find that having true (high) shipping costs hasn't overly hindered my international auctions as much as I had thought. Like I mentioned, I cleaned out my entire 12" collection including Taun Tauns and Speeder Bikes. All of them ended up shipping international where shipping was $55 or higher per item. I think it ended up driving bidders to buy lots of stuff and combine shipping. I had a guy from Germany buy $500 worth of stuff as a result and pay $175 in shipping.Not sure if shipping from Canada to international locations is similar or worse than US rates though.

What is population?
A population in ecological terms can be described as a collection of organism belonging to similar species residing in a particular area. A population consists of individual organisms that have the potential to interbreed.
Population Interactions:
Interaction among organisms of similar species is called intra-specific relationship and the interaction among organisms of dissimilar species is called inter-specific relationship. Depending on the type of relationship, the interactions can be classified as positive and negative.
- Positive interaction – This is the type of interaction in which the organisms involved is not harmed in any way and the relationship proves to be beneficial for them. Positive interaction is classified into following types:
- Mutualism (Symbiosis) – It is a mutually beneficial relationship among individuals of dissimilar species where the organisms involved do not have the capability to live separately. Symbiosis is a synonym of mutualism. The association in this type of interaction is obligatory because the organisms involved are dependent on each other for their existence. The dependence is for shelter, food and transport. Pollination of flowers via butterflies, bees, and moths is an example of mutualism.
- Proto-cooperation – It is a mutually beneficial association for the organisms involved but it is non-obligatory because the organisms are not dependent on each other for their existence. The relationship between sea anemone and hermit crab is an example of proto-cooperation.
- Commensalism – It is the association between several organisms in which the organisms involved are not physiologically dependent on each other. The association is such that only one of the organisms is benefited and it is neither harmful nor beneficial for the other. In this type of association where there is continuous contact, the organisms (called commensals) remain attached to their hosts permanently. Epiphytes such as orchids, some hygroscopics and bromeliads which grow on branches of trees are examples of commensals and their association is known as commensalism.
2. Negative interaction – This is the type of interaction in which the organisms involved are affected. Negative interaction is classified into the following types:
- Amensalism – In amensalism one of the organisms involved in the interaction restricts the other's effects. The restricting organism is not much benefited. For restricting the organisms secrete allochemics. The secretion of harmful chemicals is known as antibiosis and they are harmful for other organisms. Antibiotics like streptomycin, penicillin, etc are produced by fungi.
- Competition – It can be described as the demand for the same resource by many organisms belonging to identical species and at similar trophic level. Competition is divided into 2 types:
a)Interspecific competition – The competition occurs among organisms belonging to different species. The competition is not much severe due to lesser needs and different adaptations.
b)Intraspecific competition – The competition occurs among organisms belonging to same species. The competition is much severe due to same kinds of requirements and adaptations. For example cannibalism in snakes and scorpions.
3. Parasitism – Parasitism is a beneficial relationship for the parasite and harmful for the host. In parasitism the parasite gains benefits from the host. Parasites are divided into 2 types:
i) Endoparasites – These exist inside the host and are prevalent in nature.
ii) Ectoparasites – These exist on the outside or surface of the host and consume living and dead tissues.
4. Predation – An organism that captures, kills and feeds on organisms of different species is called a predator. The leaves of the pitcher plant consist of a liquid that is used to trap insects.

Sunshine Superman: Crafting pareo out of Hawaii flora with artist Bozo Pualoa
by: Tiffany Hillposted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 at 11:51 AM
Heliography artisan Bozo Pualoa, in Ahupuaa o Kahana, selecting flora for his design students. Photo by Ryan T. Foley for HAWAII Magazine.
Bozo Pualoa III leads me deeper into Kahana, a remarkably untouched, 5,300-acre ahupuaa (early Hawaiian mountain-to-sea land division) on Oahu's verdant windward coast. More than 25 miles and thousands of residents removed from the cacophony of Honolulu, Ahupuaa o Kahana is a popular hiking spot, but today we're blazing our own trail through its valley forest.
Pualoa and I stop under a canopy of java plum and strawberry guava trees, a thicket of kupukupu and lauae ferns at our feet—mine in sturdy hiking shoes, his bare. The 6-foot-plus 63-year-old never wears slippers, much less shoes.
"I'm the oldest of eight—two brothers and five sisters," Pualoa says, explaining how tight family finances were during his childhood in Laie, a few miles north of Kahana Valley. He shrugs off the thought, a trait I'll discover is part of his friendly, no-worries demeanor.
Pualoa is a Native Hawaiian textile artist who handcrafts Polynesian pareos (wraparound skirts, similar to the Malay sarong) using heliography, a print process employing light-sensitive dyes to capture images on cloth. The process is simple. Pualoa's take on it is a bit more involved.
Once, sometimes twice, a week, Pualoa drives from his Waianae home, on Oahu's west side, to Kahana Valley—an almost 100-mile round-trip—to gather ferns, palm fronds and strawberry guava leaves. Then, home in his backyard, he shows visitors and residents how to place the fresh-picked foliage on blank cotton pareos and mist them with colorful, non-toxic dyes from a spray bottle. Place the work in sunlight, lift the leaves one to three hours later and voila! You've created your own unique, naturally patterned pareo.
Pualoa has crafted these bright, flowing wraps using this traditional heliographic method and flora-collecting process for more than two decades. Sometimes his clients join him on his forest sojourns, but, usually, he prunes in solitude.

Living On Latin Time
Why Latinos are Late
Is it true? What they say about Hispanic Time? You know the joke: What time is it when a Latino arrives? Late o'clock.
If you are Latino, if you have friends who are Latino, if you are married to a Latino, I'd bet money you've heard anything from whisperings to chidings spoken out loud regarding Hispanic Time.
Hispanic/Latino time — or Cuban Time, or Mexican Time, or Colombian Time, etc — is the tongue-in-cheek saying given to the late arrival time of our people to social gatherings.
For work, business, meetings, school functions, committees, we are professionally prompt and on the dot.
But, invite us to a party, a wedding, a celebration, and let's just say that chances are good we won't be the first ones ringing your doorbell.
I don't take offense when I hear joking about this late arrival time and Latinos. Within my own family we will jokingly ask before we meet somewhere, American time or Latino time? This is our way of asking Do you want me there at 6:30, or around 6:30?
The reasons for this cultural characteristic have been speculated about for years. I feel it's expected of me to arrive late at a Latino event. I don't want to arrive on time because I know my hosts will expect me to arrive at least half an hour later than requested.
Research into why there is this occurrence of arriving late in our culture leads to explanations of European background, Mediterranean roots, living in the present, not fully adopting the American lifestyle of "time is money", and "the early bird gets the worm."
I have read the proposed theories, detailing how Hispanics value peace more than stress, or how the Spanish language and it's verb structure create a lifestyle of living in the present. For me, it comes down to doing what is politely expected in my Latino culture.
Why I am Late
I feel my hosts need the time to prepare for my arrival. I don't want to catch them before they are ready or make them feel rushed. The arrival time of 30 minutes later that I give them is like a safety net that I silently provide for my friends. I want them to be relaxed and ready for me. In my eyes, arriving later than requested is the considerate thing to do.
It makes my husband and his German family crazy that I aim for a late arrival on purpose. They can't understand this. I have been told by my husband how important it is for him to arrive on time for anything. I hear him, I really do. But I can't bring myself to do it. The way I see it, to show up on time puts me at risk of finding my hostess in her slip and hot rollers. With not a smidge of lipstick on.
But I've figured out a simple way to work around my husband's German punctuality and my Latino Time.
I tell him an arrival time that is half an hour later than we're actually expected. When we pull up to our friend's home, he smiles thinking we're wonderfully prompt, and I am able to breathe deeply, relieved we won't walk in on anybody in their boxers and A shirt, dancing in the kitchen to Pitbull.

I can core out the cross-walls and placenta (along with the seeds) using knives - i.e. not touching the deadly toxic fruit - but isolating the seeds is a different matter. It seems inevitable that deadly toxic juice will get on my hands and thence onto various unmentionable bits.
So what are your best tips for getting nice clean, undamaged seeds out of your evil little babies? ... and living to tell about it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
buy a box of latex exam type gloves. Not the ones for dishwashing but the ones similar to what they use for medical procedures. They are relatively inexpensive and they are invaluable for working with super hots. Bruce |
- Posted by scorpion_john 6 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Sep 27, 12 at 19:51
DM - wear latex gloves like doctors wear. U can buy them cheap anywhere, John |
Well, the dishwashing type is a dead loss: they cut easier than pepper skin. I wouldn't have thought the surgical style impervious enough, but I'll certainly try them. Should have a box around here somewhere... Now, how about getting the seeds loose from the placenta? Do you dry the lot first, then pick them out? Tools? Dennis or DuckMan, your choice |
DMF: You're worrying about it too much. Put on latex gloves, slice open with knife(or use scissors if you're worried about cutting gloves), pluck out seeds with fingers onto paper towel, carefully remove gloves and discard, wash hands with baking soda, let dry at room temp for a couple weeks(if placenta is attached to seed cluster, let that dry also then separate after completely dry, store in cool, dry place. I also heard on TV last night that people who have been pepper sprayed have used antacids to wash their eyes out. So, I guess you could dissolve some rolaids and wash with it also. /shrug Kevin |
- Posted by sandysgardens 4MN (My Page) on Thu, Sep 27, 12 at 20:17
Dennis - most people have their favorite way to de-seed a pepper. My preference is to remove the seed totally and then dry them. Even if you dry them on the placenta, the placental will still have a little power to get you. I use my fingers and if they're super hots, I wear the exam gloves. My daughter worked for a clinic for years, so she stocked me up with gloves. When removing the gloves, just pull them off inside out and toss. |
- Posted by habjolokia 7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Sep 27, 12 at 20:18
Fingers are my tool, I dry the seeds and placenta together and then pick the seeds off. Then dish soap and water. Key is to wash around finger nails and under them even it you think you don't have long enough nails the oils still get under them. Picked Ghost, 7 pot, and Trinidad Scorps. Who needs gloves! Mark |
- Posted by fusion_power 7b (My Page) on Thu, Sep 27, 12 at 22:32
I'm with hab, just use my fingers. There is a knack to doing it though. First I slice off the stem end including enough of the end of the pepper to cut down to the edge of the seed cavity. Then I carefully cut the septums loose around the outside edge of the pepper and use the knife to flip the seed clump out onto a sheet of cardboard. Let them dry at least a week, then rub them in an old t-shirt until the seed separate from the placental tissue. As noted, be sure to clean out from under fingernails! DarJones |
Yes, I use my hands most of the time...and quite often cuss myself later on for doing so. Use latex gloves. You can open the peppers, and carefully pick out the seeds with some small blunt tool, even a knife. But what I have found to work best is just cut out the seeds with the placenta and let it dry on a plate for 4 or 5 days, then the seeds fall right off the placenta with very little effort. I then let them dry for several more days spread out on the plate. There is no real "right way" to do it. Experiment and find what works best for you. The key is to get the seeds from ripe pods and to let them dry sufficiently. Good luck, Bruce |
I have been okay saving the seeds and drying them. Sometimes I'll just carve out the whole center section and sometimes I'll pick out the seeds with tweezers. This does not require contact with hands. Then there's the matter of sorting out the seeds from the kruft and counting out for seed exchange. Even with tweezers this pretty much requires hands-on. They're dry, right? So what harm could there be? BZZZT! Wrong. Capsaicin is present in a wax-like coating. I didn't use gloves for the seeds. Now I use gloves to handle my body parts. "Say 'Ow!', dear." |
- Posted by fusion_power 7b (My Page) on Fri, Oct 12, 12 at 15:52
uh oh. guess he handled his wife too. He will be sleeping on the couch indefinitely. DarJones |
I sort seeds like pharms sort pills...I dump them out and count/move them with a butter knife...then I scoop the seeds into a baggie off the side of whatever I'm sorting on. Well, I hope my pharm is using something other than a butter knife, but the same principles apply. For larger amounts of seeds or small bags I'll dump them onto an index card after sorting/counting, semi-fold into a "V" shape, and use the funnel-like action to dump them. |
They got highly specialized pharmaceutical grade butter knives for the pros. I'd order one but you have to have a degree. To manicure I dump them into a dished plate under a magnifying lamp and use the butt end of the tweezers to count into little piles of 15. Then set a food funnel into the little plastic bag and scoop with finger. Goes pretty quick. Somewhere I acquired a whole box - probably 1000 - of little poly bags, about 2 1/2" x 5". Perfect. Slip in a label, tape (staple?) closed, and you're good to go. ----- I'm amazed at how flimsy these seedy little guys are. They're mostly envelope, and you can see a tiny, denser germ inside. All this fire from that tiny little thing. Seems like a miracle. 'Seems' hell, it is a miracle! Dennis |
- Posted by spacetogrow 4 MN (My Page) on Sat, Oct 13, 12 at 13:28
How nit-picky do you have to be about getting every little shred of placenta removed? If they are well dried, a little shred or three wouldn't cause the seeds to rot, would they? |
Not if the placenta is dried. For me it's just about getting the seeds apart. Remember the natural state of the seed. Pod falls, probably rots, and the seed springs forth from the fertilizer. |

Harun Yahya – Unawareness—A Sly Threat
January 21, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Characteristics of Unaware Individuals
Unaware individuals focus their attention on and pursue worldly desires and expectations as if they were in a trance. They direct all of their efforts toward achieving a higher rank or position and more possessions, and constantly imagine and talk about what they will do with the money they earn. They are so preoccupied with these things that they forget about Allah's commands and prohibitions. Unable to conceive of Allah's knowledge and power, they feel under no obligation to respect the limits He has established for humanity.
Remembering Allah stimulates the conscience of those who do not believe in the Hereafter and reminds them of their unawareness. But when they struggle with their egos as to whether they should fulfill their responsibilities to Him or not, they end up clinging to their unawareness. As a result, they feel great inner discomfort whenever Allah's name is mentioned:
When Allah, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink back, shuddering. But when others apart from Him are mentioned, they jump for joy.
Az-Zumar: 45
Now, let's examine the general character of these unaware individuals.
They do not remember Allah and the Hereafter and their hearts are filled with worldly ambitions.
Believers' morality is so deep and sincere that nothing prevents them from remembering Allah and observing the obligatory prayers:
(There are people who are) not distracted by trade or commerce from remembering Allah, performing prayer, and giving alms, fearing a day when all hearts and eyes will be in turmoil.
Al-Nur: 37
But, unlike believers, unaware individuals have their hearts set on this world's possessions. This makes them always want to have more and a better life, regardless of how they are currently living. They think money can buy them power and recognition and make them happy. First, they want to amass wealth, and then they want to store it and acquire even more. To make this appear legitimate, they make various excuses. By refusing to spend their money to earn Allah's pleasure, they amass wealth and think only about satisfying their worldly desires. Their fate is described in the Qur'an:
On the Day it is heated up in the fire of Hell, and their foreheads, sides, and backs are branded with it. (They are told): "This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you were hoarding!"
At-Tawba: 35
… who has amassed wealth and hoarded it! He thinks his wealth will make him live forever. No indeed! He will be flung into the Shatterer.
Al-Humaza: 2-4
Blinded by their desire for worldly possessions, these people are unaware of the fate awaiting them. Having spent their lives obsessed with earning and spending money, they cannot remember Allah, perform their daily prayers, or give money to the poor. However, believers whose hearts are filled only with the desire to win His favor never forget that all of their possessions are no more than His gifts that are to be used to earn His pleasure. Believers, who think only of pleasing Allah and obtaining His mercy, work eagerly so that they may contribute to His religion. Since they cannot become caught up in any other passions, they will always remember Allah, approach Him in prayer, and understand that everything comes from and ultimately belongs to Him. As a result, they will regard their possessions as reminders to thank and praise Him.
Allah gives the example of Prophet Solomon (as) who, although he had great wealth, was neither distracted by it nor made it a focus of ambition; rather, he saw all of it as a reason to thank and praise Him:
When swift horses champing at the bit were displayed before him in the afternoon, he said: "Truly do I love the love of good, with a view to the glory of my Lord," until the sun disappeared behind its veil.
Sad: 31-32
Until Prophet Solomon (as), Allah had never given anyone such power and wealth. He used these blessings to exalt Allah's glory and proclaim His religion's magnificence and honor. He always gave thanks to the true owner of his wealth and possessions.
Unaware people turn their backs on Allah, thinking that wealth, position, and fame can make them happy and content. They enjoy being among people who talk about these things, for in such an environment they can praise themselves and criticize others as well as spend hours watching useless and inane television talk shows:
(Unbelievers are) those whose eyes were blind to My remembrance and whose ears were unable to hear.
Al-Kahf: 101
But believers are not content with possessing worldly goods or participating in useless conversations; rather, they are content only when praising and remembering Him and reading the Qur'an:
… those who believe and whose hearts find peace in the remembrance of Allah. Only in the remembrance of Him can the heart find peace.
Ar-Ra'd: 28
Not using their intellects
In unbelieving societies, the phrase "lack of intelligence" denotes people with mental disabilities and those who behave in an abnormal manner. But in the Qur'an, this phrase refers to those individuals who reject Allah's existence and that of the Hereafter, who live only to satisfy their own egos. According to this definition, people who lack intelligence are not only found in mental hospitals, but also make up a part of society as a whole.
The mind is one of Allah's greatest gifts to humanity. Rational people always act according to their consciences; properly appreciate His knowledge and power; and love, fear, and respect Him. They do their best to please Him, to save themselves from Hell's eternal punishment, and are eager to attain the Hereafter's endless blessings. In addition, they ponder deeply on Allah's creation and appreciate His endless power and greatness, In other words they are believers. Those irrational individuals who do not have this ability are described in the Qur'an:
Have they not traveled throughout the land, and do they not have with which hearts to understand or ears with which to hear? It is not their eyes that are blind, but the hearts in their breasts that are blind.
Al-Hajj: 46
The most distinguishing feature of these irrational people is their preference for the life of this world, to which they are so passionately devoted, over that of the Hereafter. And yet Allah warns such people to reflect on this world's true nature:
The life of this world is nothing but a game and a diversion. The Hereafter is better for those who guard against evil. So will you not use your intellect?
Al-An'am: 32
Anything you have been given is only the enjoyment of the life of this world and its finery. What is with Allah is better and longer lasting. So will you not use your intellect?
Al-Qasas: 60
We have sent down to you a Book containing a Reminder for you. So will you not use your intellect?
Al-Anbiya': 10
The perfectly ordered systems and creatures that Allah has created, together with all that they teach us about reality, are beyond the vision of unaware people; they can only be appreciated by believers who use their intelligence. Intelligent, aware believers carefully observe everything in their vicinity and ponder deeply on what they see. In the Qur'an, Allah gives the examples of a mosquito, a honeybee, a spider, and many other creatures He has made to encourage people to think about and appreciate His knowledge, power, and artistry. However, only those believers with intelligence can know their qualities and understand the perfection of living things and their qualities based on what they produce. From these, they can appreciate His power and artistry.
As for unaware individuals, their irrationality causes them to imagine that the creatures they see around them every day are simple and ordinary. To them, a bee just buzzes around and lands on flowers, and a mosquito is just a blood-sucking pest:
The worst of beasts in Allah' sight are the deaf and dumb (people) who have no intellect.
Al-Anfal: 22
Another important aspect of such people is that since they cannot discriminate between rationality and irrationality, they imagine that they are rational and that it is the rational people who are irrational:
When they are told: "Believe in the way that the people believe," they exclaim: "What! Are we to believe in the way that fools believe?" No indeed! They are the fools, but they do not know it.
Al-Baqara: 13

Satan's Efforts to Drag Believers into Unawareness
One of satan's major goals is to divert people from the Way of Allah and lead them to Hell. He busies their minds with false apprehensions in an attempt to confuse them and prevent sound thought.
All sincere believers have an open mind and thus are aware of reality and can consider all of the details necessary to reach a sound decision. Their moral character, which is reflected in their behavior, comes from their faith, fear, and respect of Allah. But sometimes satan can take advantage of their momentary forgetfulness, carelessness, or lack of knowledge to draw them into unawareness.
Allah warns believers about this danger: "Do not let satan bar your way. He truly is an outright enemy to you." (Surat al-Zukhruf: 62) and "Those who believe fight in the Way of Allah. Those who disbelieve fight in the way of false deities. So fight the friends of satan! Satan's scheming is always feeble"(Surat an-Nisa': 76). He announces that satan's devious plans will not affect sincere believers. Satan knows this and, when he vows to lead people astray, does not include Allah's sincere servants:
He (satan) said: "By Your might, I will mislead all of them, except for Your chosen servants among them."
Sad: 82-83
Despite this knowledge, satan nevertheless tries to confuse their minds during times of difficulty, illness, or some other personal hardship, if only for a moment, to prevent them from earning an even greater reward and rising to an even higher place in Allah's Sight. For example, if someone is about to do a good deed, satan may insert thoughts about postponing it until later so that, hopefully, the person will forget all about it. Or, as we read in Surat an-Nisa' 95: "Those believers who stay behind–other than those forced to by necessity–are not the same as those who strive in the Way of Allah, sacrificing their wealth and themselves. Allah has given those who strive with their wealth and themselves a higher rank than those who stay behind. Allah has promised the best to both, but has preferred those who strive over those who stay behind by an immense reward." Satan wants to prevent believers from striving in His Way and from earning greater dignity in His Sight.
Satan makes intimations to believers during difficult times of sickness or in the heat of battle in order to take advantage of a momentary weakness.
Of course, Allah tests individuals with periods of difficulty, pressure, and distress so that they will reveal their true natures. Such testing is very important. For example, during the time of our Prophet (saas), some individuals who were constantly by his side on the battlefield became unaware in the heat of battle:
… when they came at you from above you and below you, when your eyes rolled and your hearts rose to your throats, and you thought unworthy thoughts about Allah.
Al-Ahzab: 10
Allah gives the good news that sincere believers who fall into momentary unawareness will be forgiven if they repent. Repentance is thus one of His great gifts. In fact, He tells us in the Qur'an how He forgave three sincere believers who regretted their failure to fight:
And (He turned) also toward the three who were left behind, so that when Earth became narrow for them, for all its great breadth, and their own selves became constricted for them and they realized that there was no refuge from Allah except in Him, He turned to them so that they might turn to Him. Allah is the Ever-Returning, the Most Merciful.
At-Tawba: 118
Satan can whisper to people until they become immersed in despair, thinking that everything is lost and that the situation is irremediable. But believers know that such thoughts are no more than satanic deceptions, and so ignore them. They immediately turn to Allah, repent, and take refuge from unawareness in Him:
As for those who guard against evil, when they are bothered by suggestions from satan, they remember and immediately see clearly.
Al-A'raf: 201
Taking refuge in Allah from the empty apprehensions that can lead them into unawareness, they are careful to remember Him at all times, read and ponder the Qur'an, and pray constantly. So, by His will, they are saved from even a moment of unawareness.
A warning to unaware people
… so that you may warn a people whose ancestors were not warned and who are therefore unaware.
Ya Sin: 6
Throughout history, Allah chose prophets and messengers, upon whom He bestowed light and understanding, to warn all people who, for whatever reason, had rejected or had lost their earlier awareness of true Islam. Allah chose our Prophet, Muhammad (s), to warn his own people, to bring the true religion to them, and to instill in them fear and respect due to Allah:
Warn them of the Day of Bitter Regret, when the affair will be resolved. But they take no notice. They have no faith.
Maryam: 39
These prophets and messengers told their people about Allah, His infinite power, and the Hereafter; showed proofs on Earth and in the heavens of His existence; and, through various means, called their people to faith in Allah and obedience to Him. But most people, in spite of the wondrous order in all that they could see, did not appreciate His power properly and so continued to turn their backs on Him:
When Our Signs came to them in all their clarity, they exclaimed: "This is downright magic!" And they repudiated them wrongly and haughtily, despite their own certainty about them. See the final fate of the corrupters.
An-Naml: 13-14
Allah warns people in different ways. This book, a believer's words, a person's own conscience, or even an informative report in the press or some other publication can all serve to warn people. Everything a person sees and hears actually occurs through Allah's choosing and, if evaluated in the knowledge that they come from Him, can be understood as warnings to turn to Him. Allah has sent us various warnings and reminders, and in the Qur'an He commands us to correct their behaviors and find the right path.

Jim Carrey confirms 'Dumb & Dumber' sequel
Jim Carrey has taken us back nearly twenty years by posting a very exciting announcement…
The comedian has confirmed via his WhoSay page that there will indeed be a Dumb & Dumber sequel. Carrey uploaded a photo of his iconic chipped tooth that represents the humorous flick's character – Lloyd Christmas.
The photo was captioned with the words, "GESS HUUZ BAK BICHEZ?".
There's only one reason why Jim Carrey would remove his end-cap and bare his renowned chipped tooth, and that's to promote the upcoming 2014 sequel that is rumored to be titled Dumb & Dumber To.
So the sequel is happening, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are about to get Dumb again and we're overwhelmed with excitement…
The famous funnymen are in their fifties, do you think they will be able to pull-off those signature silly antics and live up to the movie's name? We hope so!

I've driven my family's 2009 Saturn Aura - more or less the same vehicle as the Malibu - equipped with the same four-cylinder/six-speed combo as this Chevy. I wasn't all that impressed with the Saturn, so I wasn't expecting to be pleasantly surprised by the Malibu.
The secret, you see, lies beyond those four doors. Whereas the Saturn has an interior that may try to look European, it feels like a low-end Pontiac G6 - another sibling in the GM midsize family. Gaps are wide, rough textures are rampant; it's not a very inviting place in which to travel.
The Malibu, however, is a total knock-out inside. Granted, our Aura is a lower-end model and this Chevy was the full-kilt LTZ, but even accounting for the disparity, this interior is fairly phenomenal. The dual-cowl dashboard is a nice retro touch, but the way the faux wood (a nice fake maple, if I'm not mistaken) wraps from door-to-dash at the crest of the two-tone section is magnificent. Someone was paying attention to textures here - not only are those on the dashboard actually somewhat soft to the touch, but there's a beautiful modern grain to the mocha-colored seat inserts, too.
Looking beyond its jaw-dropping innards, this Malibu is also interesting for its underpinnings. Yes, we like the Epsilon platform just fine, thanks (although it does wallow a bit in the twisty bits), but here we're more focused on the powertrain. The 2009 model year marks the first availability of the four-cylinder/six-speed combination.
Though previous four-cylinder Malibus were able to achieve fairly impressive fuel economy (30 mpg highway), they were often mated to antiquated four-speed automatics that dated from the dark ages of Hydra-Matic.
That's changed with the new six-speed. Though shifts can still be somewhat hard, the extra two gears allows the four-cylinder to work within its comfort zone to get the larger Malibu up and running without breaking a sweat. It's still a little slow to react to a quick stomp on the throttle, but if you're really jonesin' for some quick acceleration, may I suggest trying the shift paddles?

Today it's hard to imagine that America was once a blue nation.
With Republicans now in control of all three branches of the federal government, and a majority of state houses and governorships, few Americans remember a time when conservatives were in the minority, let alone marginalized.
But in 1950, the political observer could look out upon the American landscape and see nothing but liberalism.
Liberalism's triumph was so complete that the leading literary critic of the time, Lionel Trilling, famously remarked that it was "not only the dominant but even the sole intellectual tradition" in America.
But by 2004, America's political and intellectual climate had undergone a sea change, culminating in the election of George W. Bush to a second term in office.
The story of conservatism's remarkable rise to power during the intervening 40 years is the subject of The Right Nation: Conservative Power in America, an endlessly fascinating and carefully researched book by Adrian Wooldridge and John Micklethwait, two British journalists whose work is normally found in the pages of the Economist.
Wooldridge, who spoke recently at the Goldwater Institute, believes predictions of a breakup of the conservative movement are unfounded. But just how successful the conservative movement will be at implementing additional long-term reforms remains to be seen.

It's off to Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, and L.A. for me and the boy on this long weekend!
I plan on taking him up to the observation balcony at the Griffith Observatory at night to see the L.A. skyline stretching off into infinity. Then, I think I'll ask him what the greatest city in the world is. If he says "Barcelona" I may give him a bye. Otherwise, any answer other than Los Angeles and I may just go ahead and shove him over the edge. (NOT REALLY) MichaelAT |

Andrea, it would've been very nice to see you. Jorge tried to do the mountain goat thing and climb some rocks but I wasn't too keen on the idea :) Darbardi, I took some of some cactus and some rocks, nothing very inspiring. There were some fires up in L.A. and the haze was pretty thick. Carla, glad all you guys had a super experience. Morz, don't you just love the place? It's still a step back in time for the most part although houses are being built in a few places. The desert always tranquilizes me as soon as I drive into it. Meredith, yes I do. Jorge was amazed with--of all things--the quality of the manicure on the landscaping in Palm Springs. They must mow the grass everyday here. I just laughed. MichaelAT |

Ok I am totally confused...dh says he had some double dipped fried chicken. He said that they did the coating twice. If you do this before you fry wont it defeat the purpose. I mean wouldn't you dip this in the buttermilk mixture and then dredge and then dip again in the buttermilk and dredge making the first coating fall off when doing the second coat of buttermilk. And frying it first and then doing a second coating doesn't seem like it would work either. If anyone has any recipe for this or advice please help. If I have to hear about the crispy double dipped fried chicken when I make my fried chicken I might just go insane.
thanks cyn |
Follow-Up Postings:
I dredge in flour, coat in an egg-buttermilk mixture, and then dredge in flour again. It all stays on. |
Thanks I will give that a try. |
ok I gave it a try and it kinda worked...for the most part all of the breading fell off when I was frying it...but for what part that did stay it was extra crispy and really tasty. Now if I can just figure out how to make the rest of it stay lmao |
- Posted by hungrychef (My Page) on Thu, Aug 16, 07 at 16:16
After you double dip your chicken place it on a rack and let it rest for about ten minutes. That will "set" the coating. Then, as you fry the chicken be sure you turn it carefully so you don't disturb the coating. Also, don't crowd the pieces. Good Luck. |
I'm sorry that didn't work for you; I just never have any trouble. Are you using enough grease? Are you deep frying or pan frying? You need to let each side get brown before you turn it. And, the heat needs to be high enough for a quick fry, or the coating will get soggy and fall off. |
I am not sure what happened...I tried it with some cut up chicken breast...maybe it was the mixture I was using. I was using a buttermilk and buffalo wing sauce. I dipped the chicken in the buttermilk and then flour and then wing sauce and back into the flour and straight into the grease. I did it in a large sauce pan with about 1 3/4 cup of hot oil. Maybe I am missing something in the process...I'm gonna give it another try this weekend. My stepson is coming over and is a fried chicken nut will see how he likes them :) |
Try using the flour... then the buttermilk... then the flour... and fry. Buffalo wing sauce is usually added to the already cooked wings. |
- Posted by dreamhouse1 (My Page) on Fri, Aug 17, 07 at 21:02
I have done this before; however, I have always refrigerated between coatings. Coat as usual, refrigerate until 'set', then coat again and fry. |
- Posted by chigger1963 (My Page) on Sat, Aug 18, 07 at 17:38
I watched paula dean do this and tried it and it was very good. Combine the buttermilk and the wing sauce rince and pat dry your chicken dredge in flour then in buttermilk mixture then back into seasoned flour. chill for about 15 min (make sure you have a lot of flour on the chicken or it will stick together and make a gummy mess) fry in plenty of good quality oil at about 375 until done ps skinless boneless chicken breasts dont hold coating quite as well so I put them in the freezer for 30min before frying this helps coating adhere |
ty guys for all your help...I will be making this tomorrow with hopes of great results :) I will update on my progress on non progress tomorrow lmao |
We have a somewhat success...I was pretty pleased with what I was able to accomplish in my fried chicken. I took and mixed the wing sauce, buttermilk, and an egg together in one bowl and instead of putting the flour in a bag to shake I dredged the chicken thru. I had my chicken in the fridge and freezer to get it to set properly and then fried it. Once I set it then I put it thru the buttermilk mixture and then the flour again and right in the fryer. It was quite successful. Thanks guys for your help :) |
Here's how I double dip my chicken. Mix buttermilk and one egg. Put seasoned salt (and cayenne if desired) in with flour into a shallow bowl. A third bowl has crushed (not fine) corn flakes. Dip as follows: Milk, flour, milk, corn flakes. Let set for a few min and then fry without touching each other. It's quite messy and you do lose some. Have you ever heard of Popeye's Fried Chicken? Tastes spookily similar. |

In his sixth book, renowned photographer, popular instructor, and best-selling author Bryan Peterson challenges and inspires us to see close-up photography in new ways when we view it through his eyes. You've seen the dewdrops, but what about dewdrops on a bird's wing or raindrops on a car windshield? You've seen the bumblebees on vibrant flowers, but what about the fluid edge of just one petal or the colorful rusting metal at industrial sites? Even when Peterson doescapture the more traditional subjects, it's done in untraditional ways and oftenwith minimal specialized equipment! Most important, he moves beyond the commonplace to inspire new ways of getting close, using your lenses, and discovering unconventional subjects.

Hospitality and Tourism Management Students Travel to Annual International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Show in New York City
Hospitality and Tourism Management students, faculty and staff have traveled annually to New York City for the past 30 years to attend the International Hotel, Motel, and Restaurant Show. The annual event continues to be one of the department's strongest traditions. During the course of a weekend students attend the show, various seminars as well as tour some of New York City's most well-known hotels including the Waldorf-Astoria, Trump Tower, the London, the New Yorker and the Marriott Marquis just to name a few. Students also get to experience fine dining as well as lodging at a luxury hotel. To help offset costs of the trip, hospitality students organize and hold various fundraising events throughout the academic year.
The always well attended event also engages RIT's hospitality alumni who readily provide students with a glimpse of what life is really like post-graduation while working in the hospitality and tourism industry. A very popular highlight of the trip is the alumni dinner—providing the perfect opportunity for students to network with and seek advice from our alumni. Upon their return to campus, students share the educational experiences they've taken away from the weekend with faculty, RIT's Student Government as well as other hospitality students. Topics may cover everything from the tours of five-star hotels to networking experiences, and seminars on current trends in the industry.

Hooper Strait Lighthouse |
Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Add yourself to our email list here: |
Lighthouse keepers had risky jobs with an important responsibility to keep the Chesapeake's shoals and channels safely marked for shipping. Ascend the steps of the Hooper Strait Lighthouse and travel back in time to learn how 19th century lighthouse keepers tended their station in the middle of the Bay. Through this hands-on exhibit, visitors can climb the sea hatch, tend the huge lens, or stand watch on the lookout for ships or fog, experiencing firsthand the solitary, often heroic lives of Hooper Strait lighthouse keepers. The Hooper Strait Lighthouse, now standing on Navy Point, was originally built in 1879 to light the way for boats passing through the shallow, dangerous shoals of Hooper Strait, a thoroughfare for boats bound from the Chesapeake Bay across Tangier Sound to Deals Island or places along the Nanticoke and Wicomico Rivers. As a "screwpile" lighthouse, it is built on special iron pilings which were tipped with a screw that could be turned into the muddy bottom for a depth of 10 feet or more. The Museum's lighthouse is the second lighthouse constructed at Hooper Strait – the first one was destroyed by ice in 1877. Through fun interactive activities, visitors may experience the rustic life of a lighthouse keeper by participating in the museum's Lighthouse Overnight Program. It may be the most interesting place you ever slept! To learn more about lighthouses, visit the U.S. Lighthouse Society's web site at http://www.cheslights.org |

Savannah Miller's new solo line marks the formal end of the Sienna-Savannah label Twenty8Twelve. Savannah began planning the release of her sketches last February, and is now ready to unveil the fruits of her labor.
These Autumn/Winter pieces have been made with a ready-to-wear mentality. Savannah's vision is largely concerned with everyday fashion and the need for affordability. Her pieces are as such appropriate for work, school and night time events if worn appropriately.
Central to Savannah's launch is also her desire to create a distinct look, "I really wanted the first collection to set the tone for the brand…" And indeed, there is consistency in her work, seen is the casual yet chic loose-fitting apparel.

Does anyone know of a company in the Detroit, Michigan area that will service Chrysler & Koppin ice boxes. Ours are probably from the 1920's and while have been restored cosmetically and converted to operate using freon, the door seals are fraying and in need of being replaced. There are 6 doors, and maybe there is a better or more efficient material that can be used for the door seals. I've contacted appliance repair companies that service higher end new appliances, but they don't know of anyone who will work on them either. Any feedback would be appreciated. |

2nd Quarter Client Letter
Is the economic recovery transitioning to one that is self-sustaining or as government stimulus is withdrawn, will the recession rear its ugly head yet again? There is a great deal of debate in the media on the subject of double dip recessions, how rare they are etc., etc. Technically this argument is moot as the NBER have yet to date the end of the current recession.

Paducah School of Art and Design is sponsoring a community-wide art contest as part of this year's One Book, One Campus, One Community Read project at West Kentucky Community and Technical College (WKCTC). The contest, based on the One Book read of Orphan Train by New York Times best-selling author Christina Baker Kline, is free to enter and open to the public.
Taking pictures with the built-in flash on a Nikon, Canon or similar digital camera is tricky. Your subjects are likely wind up with red eye, harsh shadows, or that unflattering deer-in-headlights look – flash photography is even known to make newborns and babies cry!
The Lightscoop camera accessory offers no-tears photography. Just slip it onto your camera's hot shoe and it bounces the light from the flash to the ceiling or wall just like pros do with their expensive strobes. The result: Your indoor photographs are as beautiful as those you take outdoors.
Many of us have seen those pictures on Facebook – the ones of newborn babies in an adorable outfit next to a chalkboard with their birthdates on it. Then there is a picture a month later…. And the month after that. For parents who want to remember their child's first year but don't have time to make a sign or put together cute outfits once a month, Sticky Bellies are here to help!
Students feel a sense of accomplishment and pride when they master an instrument, and learn skills that can be applied to their academic and social success. The ocarina is an ideal instrument for families. It is easy to learn, affordable, compact and versatile - making it accessible to all ages. Ocarinas are played by blowing into the instrument and covering or uncovering finger holes to produce a variety of notes. Beginners will have little difficulty learning the fingering techniques to create a tune.
Wrap yourself in stirring words and be inspired by All the Above Clothing! This fresh fashionable apparel has a unique element of art expression through words and design. Each piece from All the Above (ATA) Clothing is inspired by a quote or theme, and that message is hidden inside; for example, a quote in the band of a hat or in the hood of a jacket. ATA is dedicated to creating high-quality, stylish clothing that fosters self-expression.
We know how hard it can be to stick to those new year's resolutions, and that's why we're giving away these great books to keep you and your family healthy. Enter the giveaways by using the Rafflecopter widgets below each description.
We're all working on self-improvement in the new year, and if you have kids, parenting may be an area you are looking to improve. These books are great for parents and new moms, single dads, or step-parents.
Looking for an extremely worthy cause to make your year end tax-deductible donation to? Build to feed the hungry of Paducah! Last year alone over 60,000 meals were served and they need your help.
Need something to do when you are more stuffed than the turkey and not wanting to deal with the Black Friday crowds? The National Quilt Museum is open all weekend! Friday and Saturday from 10 am-5 pm and Sunday from 10 am-1 pm.
In keeping with their commitment to feed the hungry 5 days a week, Paducah's Community Kitchen, located at 1225 Broadway in Paducah will host a free Thanksgiving Meal from 11 am to 1 pm on Thursday. Anyone in need of a hot meal and fellowship is invited.
