Hi all, I've been busy for the past month or two, busy updating some of my systems. In particular, the Yeeloong I have, hasn't seen attention in a very long time. Soon as I update one part however, I find some swath of packages break because of a soname change, anything Python-related stops working because of a move from Python 2.6 to 2.7, or Perl gets updated. Currently we have three packages that handle this separately: - revdep-rebuild (handles packages broken by soname changes, etc) - python-updater (handles Python module rebuilds after upgrading Python) - perl-cleaner (handles Perl module rebuilds after upgrading Perl) My bugbear at the moment, is often a package is broken for more than one reason in my situation, and I find myself having to manhandle the package lists generated by the above three, building each package one-by-one, until I manage to rebuild them all. Or sometimes a package being rebuilt by revdep-rebuild fails because of a Python module, I'll manually merge that module, then play another round of Russian Roulette to see which package gets shot down next. Issues are complicated further when revdep-rebuild or whatever tool, passes the list to Portage, and it fails to calculate dependencies... I just had one before where revdep-rebuild failed because there were no ebuilds to satisfy: sys-devel/gcc:i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.5 I've worked around this by picking up the list generated by revdep-rebuild (in /var/cache/... ), and using a bash while read loop to pass each package individually to emerge for building. How well is this cleanup trio working? It works, but I think it could improve. The thing I see is that all three are fixing essentially the same problem: package breakage due to a change in the dependencies. I think there is scope for a single package, or better yet, Portage extension, that handles all three cases. Concept: Tool will be written in separate modules to handle: - ELF soname change breakage - Python module updates - Perl module updates - other checks that can cause broken packages... Each check is run in order, generating a list of packages that should be rebuilt. Having generated this list, it is then evaluated to sort the candidate packages into a suitable order for rebuilding. This is then passed to the package manager... three modes for rebuilds: - All-in-one-hit rebuild: What the tools presently do now. - One-by-one rebuild: For each package in the list, build each one individually... useful if Portage coughs up an error otherwise - Dump the list: allows people to handle it with their own tools I might see if I can rough something up, but that's what I'm thinking of. It has been an irritation for me for quite some time. Thoughts, -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) .'''.

Well, I know it's not a brugmansia, but I thought this would be a good place to ask since it is in the same family of plants as they are. I was looking at a book about tropical plants, and I just fell in love with these little beauties. If anyone has grown these in the past I'd love to hear any tips you may have about growing them. Are they suitable for growing in a greenhouse?? Thanks for your advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
They do very well in a greenhouse but can be made to go dormant, same as a brug, over the winter. I used to keep my iochromas in the greenhouse over the winter because I was under the impression that they couldn't go dormant. They can and they quickly put out new growth when it warms up. I keep mine at about 40 over the winter. I don't find them nearly as easy as brugs to propagate from cuttings. |
I usually bring mine in and keep them in a sunny window.. They will usually bloom off and on over the Winter.. Kylie |
Mine is cut down and put in the greenhouse which is kept no lower than 40'. Ya, I've had a hard time started them with cuttings too...Just lucky with this one from karyn years ago. knotz |
I live in zone 8b, NW Florida - I have my purple one planted in the ground and it's about 6' tall, but didn't bloom this year. I want a RED one! |
- Posted by honeybunny2 Z9TX (My Page) on Wed, Oct 26, 11 at 0:16
Karyn, what is the best way to get these to root, mine are so tall, I will need to trim them down before I bring them in for the winter. I would love to start cuttings for the swap for Albert, and Shirley. Barbra |
I just put the cuttings in water. Surprisingly they seem to root better when the temps are in the upper 60's to low 70's instead of 80's-90's like most others. I've also used straight perlite which works about the same as water but I had terrible results rooting in soil. I could get about 60% of the cuttings to root and once transplanted in soil they'd grow just fine for a few months but would all of a sudden die for unknown reasons. The same thing has happened to a few others that I know and we can't figure out what killed them. |
Thanks Karyn, I am going to try rooting some cuttings of my larger Iochroma. I only saw one cluster of bloom on it this year, while a smaller plant from Kylie, blooms its head off! If I get the cuttings to root, I might just try sinking the pot in the ground with the bottom cut off and see if that helps from disturbing its roots. Of course I have all these grand ideas about what I want to do, but then, I didn't do very well this summer with the heat and fleas from strays that kept me indoors! |
This is veido that Liz made.. I'm sure she won't mind me sharing it.. Kylie |
Here is a link that might be useful: How To Propagate Iochroma
Eloise your iochromas should do great inground in your zone. I'd go ahead and plant them now. Even if you got a freak frost they'll be fine. |
- Posted by honeybunny2 Z9TX (My Page) on Wed, Oct 26, 11 at 20:48
Kylie, thank you for posting the video. Should I take cuttings now or wait until the spring. I want to take these plants to our plant swap in April. I got 3 of the new ones that were introduced this year, they do much better, than the others did in our heat. Barbra |
If you sink the pot are their teeth strong enough to chew thru the plastic? The plant would probably be ok even if they munch on the roots that grow out of the drainage holes. I don't have gophers at the house but we do have them at the farm. I've twisted my ankle enough times when taking a step and having my foot crash into one of their %^&@ tunnels! |
Karyn, I haven't noticed if the gophers chew on the hard plastic. All I know is that planting with the pots keeps the plants safe, at least for a while. I've lost bananas, figs, roses and other plants to these underground rats! I know exactly what you mean about twisting your ankle when their tunnel collapses. |

Letter writer's math skills leave much to be desired
John Anderson's letter is full of misstatements and lousy math. What I have read in the Post-Tribune says Lake County is self-insured, i.e., it would not be paying a private insurance company.
And 2.9 percent of $25,000 is $725, not $25. That $25 is one-tenth of 1 percent of $25,000. This is an example of what is wrong with our education system.
As Medicare contracts with private insurance companies for Medicare Advantage plans, and Centers for Medicare Services to handle claims, its actual costs must be well above 2 percent. Believing that any government agency would spend only 2 percent for administrative costs is ignoring reality, at best.

Republicans can't seem
to see their own lies, tales
Am I the only one who noticed the irony of the quote referenced by Chris Ehrman recently? He quoted Ayn Rand, who said, "The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident, which everybody had decided not to see."
You mean like the habit of Republicans during the last election campaign to lie, then deny? Fact checks? We don't need no stinking fact checks.
He mentions the need for economic growth, individual responsibility (yeah, we see so much of that), and opportunity for all. That opportunity for all is missing.
Try raising a family today on minimum wages and no benefits. The number of people living (poor choice of words) at or below the poverty level continues to rise.
Isn't it a shame that those people can't pay their fair share? Sarcasm, folks.

Obsession with Peotone marked Jackson's failures
Jesse Jackson Jr.'s obsession with the proposed Peotone airport may have been an early, unheeded warning sign of bipolar disorder, which often includes a tendency to make grand and unattainable plans.
Jackson's proclamations about the airport were, at best, wildly unrealistic. Even in his recent letter of resignation from Congress, he claimed an airport at Peotone would employ 300,000 people. Jackson never could accept the fact market forces do not support the airport and Chicago political and business leaders never would allow it.
It's a shame Jackson's career turned into a Greek tragedy, complete with hubris leading to the fall. It's a shame thousands of residents in the 36-square-mile site of the proposed airport have lived under a continuous threat for so many years. And it's a shame tens of thousands of economically distressed residents in the south suburbs were fed false hope about jobs. Perhaps the next congressman will be reality-based.
At 47, Jackson still has immense potential to help make the world a better place.
I wish him well.

This short begins with King-Size in conference with his financial minister when a coded message arrives warning of an planned invasion by cats from the Planet Feline (pronounced Fa Lean). A call for Space Mouse is dispatched, He appears in the conference room instantly. The king orders him to go to Feline, disguised as a cat, and destroy their rocket ship. Space Mouse chooses a Siamese cat disguise.. Before he leaves, though, King-Size hands him a pill telling him to swallow it if he gets into inescapable trouble. When Space Mouse wants to know what the pill will do, King Size claims all he knows is that all secret agents take along some kind of pill for emergencies.
Arriving on Feline the disguised Space Mouse goes to the headquarters of the dreaded Meow-Meow to investigate. There he spots their leader Big Tom and his girlfriend Persian Pearl. Thinking quickly Space Mouse impersonates an oriental waiter and brings them drinks. When they order a mouse burger to go with the drinks Space Mouse apologizes saying there is a shortage of mice. Big Tom brags he will be bringing plenty of mice after the invasion of Rodentia. With this space Mouse pumps him for more information but Big Tom gets suspicious. When Space Mouse bows to Big Tom, Space Mouse's suit rips exposing his mouse's tail. Big Tom pounces but to Space Mouse's surprise Persian Pearl conks Big Tom and shows Space Mouse a secret passage. The unconvinced Space Mouse won't use a route provided by a cat but Persian Pearl pulls off her disguise to reveal she, too, is a mouse - Secret Agent X.
Using the secret passage gets Space Mouse outside but since he is now in his standard space suit all the cats recognize him and and prepare to pounce. Space Mouse knows it is time to swallow that pill. He does and become invisible allowing him to get to his spaceship and escape, He sends an emergency message to his King to be ready for the invasion then thinks of a plan that should save the day.
Meanwhile on Rodentia hundreds of cats have landed and are running everywhere. In the castle King-Size is still in conference with the Financial Advisor who advises "all is lost" Just then Space Mouse radios in he is landing with a secret weapon - thousands of bull dogs. They route the cats and the King is most pleased.

Philanthropist Shahid Khan to buy Jaguars
URBANA,IL–Shahid Khan, a Pakistani-American businessman and philanthropist, is all set to acquire Jacksonville Jaguars, according to media reports.
He is the president of the Flex-N-Gate company which manufactures auto parts. It employs over 12, 000 workers in U.S., Canada, Mexico, Argentina, and Spain.
Flex-N-Gate is ranked by Forbes magazine as the 168th largest private company in the United States, with estimated revenues of $2.57 billion for the previous fiscal year.
Last year Khan had launched an unsuccessful bid to acquire St. Louis Rams.
Lafayette Islamic Centre to hold community kitchen
LAFAYETTE,LA–The Lafayaette Islamic Centre will hold a community kitchen on December 10. This is the centre's first ever project of this kind, KATC reported.
The event is open to everyone, and local shelters will be given the information to invite their patrons. Gumbo will be served. Volunteers from the Islamic Center, the UL Muslim Students Association, and the Islamic Education Weekend Program will be on hand to serve those in attendance. The Community Kitchen will be Dec. 10 from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
No prayer room at Purdue University Calumet campus
CALUMET,IN–University campuses across North America have a common meditation/prayer area which all students including Muslim could utilise. The Purdue University Calumet campus, however, lacks one creating a challenge for the three hundred Muslim students to offer their five daily prayers.
The issue has been brought to the front by a recent article in the Purdue University Calumter Chronicle. The adminsitration's contention is that they cannot provide a prayer space for specific religion as it is a state school. The Muslim students have asked that a common prayer open to all religions be provided.
PUC Chancellor Thomas Keon voiced his sympathy for the Muslim students' quandary, though he held the position that the school is not legally allowed to host a specified prayer room. Although the administration's hands seem to be bound in red tape, Keon shared his suggestion to work out a resolution to benefit all faiths.
"We need to have a better, long-term approach to resolving the concern. I have suggested that the campus, for the first time, develop an inter-faith counsel and I would like to find church leaders from the region and work with them to see if we can come up with a resolution. In the meantime, I have approached the Vice Chancellors about properties for sale near the campus we may be able to purchase for this specific purpose," Keon told the student newspaper.
Tulsa police captain's plea denied
TULSA,OK–A Tulsa Police Department Captain's plea to amend his lawsuit filed against the department over mosque attendance row has been denied by a US District Court judge.
Capt. Paul Fields filed a suit alleging his First Amendment rights were infringed upon after he was suspended for disobeying orders to attend a community event.
In February, Fields refused to attend Law Enforcement Appreciation Day at the Islamic Society of Tulsa. He was then suspended without pay June 12-25 for his actions.
Upon filing the suit, Fields emailed his supervisors. In the statement, he said, "I believe this directive to be an unlawful order, as it is in direct conflict with my personal religion's convictions."
Muslim Spelling Bee
December 8, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Adil James, TMO
Spelling Bees were made famous by the 2006 movie Aqeelah and the Bee, about a young girl from a bad neighborhood with a talent for spelling, who works hard, finds a teacher to prep her for spelling competitions, and becomes a champion speller.
Tausif Malik, a Chicago entrepreneur from India, perceived a need for a platform of competition in which children could engage from around the world, and chose spelling. He has planned a 10-city national competition in spelling which he eventually hopes will become an international spelling competition open to Muslim students.
"Muslims are not aware of spelling bees because they are focused on" getting their children into engineering or medicine, he said in a recent interview with TMO.
The purpose, he says, of the program is "to get Muslim children into the mainstream." His competition will be held in each city at a Muslim private school, however it will be open to students from private schools, public schools, or home schools, children up to 14 years old.
Mr. Malik expects 500 children per city to compete in the competition, and as yet he has not announced the prizes.
The competition is scheduled to begin in March – May of 2012, it will be a weekend affair in each city.
The competition regions are to include Washington DC, New York City, New Jersey, Orange County California, Chicago, Tampa Florida, Atlanta Georgia, Phoenix Arizona, and Houston Texas.
The entry fee per student will be $50–each student will have to fill out an application and pay the $50 fee online or via check. Once they are registered they will receive a word list, and then on a set day they will arrive at the testing location and take a written test (to screen the applicants and winnow the best of them) and then an oral competition.
Mr. Malik explains that there will be a cash prize, scholarships, college sponsorships, companies giving holiday gifts.
His scheme is to begin with a spelling bee but to expand into other areas, with science competitions, geography bees, math bees–"an Olympiad."
"Muslims have lost education," Mr. Malik argues. "They are getting into stuff that is not worth it–Muslims were creators, innovators." Malik believes his program of competitions will move the Muslim community towards that.

Fast-a-thon to be held at UNM
The Muslim Student's Association at the University of New Mexico will hold its annual Fast-A-Thon this week to raise money and awareness for famine in the eastern horn of Africa.
Last year's fast raised roughly $1,200 for flood relief in Pakistan. This year organizers says they hope to raise even more money and more awareness to help end world hunger.
"Just because now they don't talk about it that much in the media, doesn't mean people aren't starving to death anymore," said MSA President Mustafa in an interview to the student newspaper. "We need to keep focus and attention on people who need help, not just because it's a news story, but because as human beings we all need to take care of each other."
The event is not exclusive to Muslim students.
"This fundraiser is a human issue, meaning we want people of all different faiths, cultural backgrounds, different political ideologies, etc. to come help and support the people of the eastern horn of Africa," she said. "As fellow humans we should bear the responsibility in making sure that we all help each other out, and this fundraiser is just another opportunity for doing so."
New York cabbies win rights to veto racy ads
NEW YORK,NY–New York City cabbies who object to driving taxis topped with ads for strip clubs have won the right to veto the racy ads.
The city's Taxi and Limousine Commission approved a new rule last week that lets cabbies who own their vehicles say no to the racy ads.
Several cabbies told the commission they hated the provocative roof ads.
Previously the owners of taxi medallions could decide what ads to put on the cars. Many taxi owners do not own the medallion.
The racy ads were objected to not only by Muslim taxi owners but also others. A Sikh owner told the board that his six-year-old granddaughter had told him she wanted to become a dancer after seeing an advert for Flashdancers on his taxi.
'We should keep [the advertisement] there to tell the children that it is good?' he had asked.
Dupage County approves mosque without dome
CHICAGO,IL–The DuPage County board voted last week to allow a mosque and Muslim community center to be built along Roosevelt Road near Lombard.
It will be built just east of Interstate Highway 355, at the southwest corner of Roosevelt Road and Lawler Avenue. Plans are for a main building with place for worship, a gym, a library, a learning area and a conference room.
But the board did not allow the Muslim group to build a 50 foot high dome to cover the prayer area. This is the second Muslim development in unincorporated DuPage County that has recently modified construction plans because the board denied approval for a dome.
The county sets a height limit of 36 feet in residential areas, and only grants variances to exceed that limit on a case-by-case basis.
Building Bridges Across a Diverse Community
September 15, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Milad Alucozai
Christian, Muslim, and Jewish religious leaders reflect on September 11th.
West Lafayette, IN – On the tenth anniversary of the tragic attacks of September 11th, 2011, Purdue University students, faculty, staff, and community members of all faiths and backgrounds came together in a memorial to the victims and a celebration of shared values and spirit.
The event was organized by Purdue's Student Government as well as interfaith religious leaders from across all major denominations. Muslim representative Aurangzeb spoke of the universal sanctity of human life and recognized the loss of innocent life on September 11th as well as in the subsequent terrorist attacks around the world in places like Madrid and Pakistan and in the armed conflicts resulting over the last ten years. "Crimes against humanity, no matter in what form they are committed, are to be condemned in the strictest terms," he said, "In the face of inhumanity, we must be more human."
Purdue University has the second largest population of international students among American public universities with just under 8,000 and has long been known for its exceptional diversity of students from all nations, cultures, and religions. Purdue's Dean of International Programs, Mike Brzezinski, honored this legacy by sharing his memories of the campus's reaction after September 11th. "Some [universities] were dealing with the desolation of mosques and religious housing but not at Purdue. Some were dealing with attacks on Muslim students, but not at Purdue," said Brzezinski.
Since the awful attacks that brought so much pain to our hearts, heated rhetoric and acts of violence against Muslim Americans (and non-Muslim Arab Americans) have increased. Yet the victims, like the citizens of our nation, were of all faiths. Patriotic Muslim Americans were some of the innocent passengers on the planes, they were workers in the buildings, and they were heroic first responders who ran into the building when everybody else was running out.
We need to remember that Muslim Americans contribute to our communities every day. They serve us as police officers, doctors, and firefighters. They are public servants in local and state governments as well as in the federal government where they work tirelessly to guide our counter terrorist efforts. And there are thousands of young Muslim Americans serving overseas to protect the liberties that we all share.
The ceremony, held on the historic Purdue Mall, also included remarks by University President France Cordova, student body president Brett Highley, and students who lived in New York at the time of the attacks. Attendees gathered together holding firm the belief that every human life irrespective of the nationality, gender, color, language, or religion is sacred, united in their resolve to emerge from the tragedies of the September 11th era with greater faith, greater understanding, and greater humanity.
TMO Foundation Awards

Celebrating Young Muslim Journalists' Accomplishments
By TMO Staff
TMO Foundation awardees who were able to attend the August Awards Banquet; l-r: Noor Hani Salem, Ayesha Jamali, and Asra Najam. |
Troy–August 7–Affluent Muslim students are sometimes pushed towards the field of medicine before they know what a career is, much less what they want. And while this profession brings honor to families and individuals, it leaves the community in need of talented and intelligent people in other fields.
Journalism is such a field, and the need for Muslim journalists was the focus of a banquet held by the TMO Foundation at the MET hotel in Troy on Sunday.
About 250 people attended the award ceremony, iftar and fundraiser, including among many other prominent community members, US Congressman Hansen Clarke (D-13-MI), Michigan legislator Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-12), the prominent journalist Gregg Krupa of the Detroit News, important members of the Muslim community, Dr. Jawad Shah and Dr. AbdalMajid Katranji.
The TMO Foundation is a not-for-profit, founded in 2009 by Dr. AS Nakadar, who also is the president and publisher of The Muslim Observer. The TMO Foundation's stated aim is to "serve American Muslims through research, scholarships, and journalism." Dr. Nakadar of the foundation explained that TMO awarded more than $10,000 in scholarships in 2010, and more in 2011, by means of scholarship essay competitions on subjects relating to the Muslim community in the United States and its need for journalists.
The banquet on Sunday had as MC Dr. Shahid Tahir, and the other speakers at the event included Dr. Saqib Nakadar, Mrs. Sadaf Ali, Dr. AS Nakadar, Dr. Muzammil Ahmed, Mr. Imran Ahmad, and the previously mentioned prominent community members. Several of the night's award-winners also spoke at the event.
The overarching theme from all of the speakers was that Muslims must speak out through journalism, to defend the Muslim community against the aggressive anti-Muslim rhetoric that spills from non-Muslims.
The evening began with recitation of Qur`an, specifically verses from Surat Imran including the verse to hold fast to the rope of God together.
Dr. Saqib Nakadar in his speech said that the publicity for Muslims has been bad recently, and that a part of the function of the TMO Foundation was to bring it back to good publicity again.
Dr. Shahid Tahir, the MC, also gave brief introductory remarks, including an admonition to encourage kids to go into areas other than medicine.
Mrs. Sadaf Ali, a PhD candidate at Wayne State University, introduced the TMO Foundation Writer's Workshop program which she will head, and introduced the TMO Foundation internship program and Faiz Khan's Voice of Pakistan internship program, and she announced the winners of the TMO Foundation essay contest.
Ayesha Jamali, the second place essay contest winner, spoke briefly, thanking the TMO Foundation and everyone who helped put the banquet together.
Aqeela Naqvi, the first place winner, sent a video explaining that we should "propagate the truth about Islam." She quoted the verse that Allah has made us nations and tribes from one man and one woman, and that we should know one another–Naqvi argued that therefore it would be our strength to embrace our diversity.
Gregg Krupa of the Detroit News was one of the keynote speakers at the event, and he gave a speech on the theme that Muslims must stand up and speak, not only on issues related to our countries of origin or to our religion, but in sports, or any other area we are interested in.
The central story of Mr. Krupa's speech was a description of a visit he made to the New York Times after 9/11, where he walked down a huge corridor filled with tributes to that preeminent newspaper's Pulitzer prize winners–at the end of that long corridor he met with the editorial staff of the paper and learned that to their knowledge, and to their consternation, there was not a single Muslim reporter at the paper.
Mr. Krupa emphasized that this fact spoke of a tremendous lack of knowledge about Islam and Muslims, 3 blocks from ground zero at the best newspaper in the country.
He spoke also of his own background working through the civil rights movement towards greater inclusion of African Americans.
Perhaps the most depressing part of Mr. Krupa's speech was his brief mention of how he had become incapable of continuing as a religion reporter at the Detroit News because of the intolerance of his own editors regarding his writing, and their assigning minimal importance to his efforts to write about religious issues.
Thus Mr. Krupa shifted to the sports department of the Detroit News.
He emphasized that other faiths before Muslims had to confront gross American prejudices in order to create a niche in this country. Mr. Krupa argued that "more parents will have to content themselves" with children who lower themselves to be journalists instead of doctors, and argued that what is needed in this country is real dialogue, and mutual acceptance.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib spoke at the event of her admiration that all of the winners were women, and emphasized that many non-Muslim journalists write nonsense about Islam, which is then picked up by other non-Muslim journalists who repeat it, and she emphasized the importance for non-Muslim journalists to reach out and talk to the other side.
Dr. Nakadar said that the first commandment of Allah, transmitted through the Angel Jibril (as) to Prophet (s) was "Iqra," or read. This is important for two reasons. First, this initial commandment of "iqra" began a 23 year period of revelation and in fact communication, the communication from Allah (swt) through the angel Gabriel (as) to Prophet Muhammad (s); second, the first word of the 23 year period of communication was a commandment to read—thus he argues that communication and iqra (education) are the two most important fundamental aspects of the beginning of Islam. Those who have understood the value of communication and education are flourishing today, while Muslims who have ignored these intial commandments have suffered.
Without a voice, Dr. Nakadar argued, there is no power in politics because political outcomes are predetermined by the tone of the news that reaches people before they vote, or before they act in politics.
"We need to create a new generation of journalists" to address national issues within the framework of Islam.
Dr. Jawad Shah gave another keynote speech, arguing that journalists must give deep thought to their articles before printing them, and that Muslim journalists if true to the ideal he advocated would be able to bring a level of profoundness to their reporting far beyond the superficial coverage he complained of from non-Muslim journalists.
Dr. Katranji followed this impressive list of speakers with an impassioned fundraising effort, which was very successful, gaining thousands of dollars to fund the TMO Foundation's efforts through the next year.
Dr. Nakadar wanted to thank Mr. Ali Qureshi (New Mexico), Dr. Imtiaz Ahmed (Florida), Dr. M Amirana (Nevada), Mrs. Samia Mustafa (Virginia), Dr. Mazhar Malik (New York), and many others for their support and past contributions.

Washington U. students get halal options
CLAYTON, May 23, 2011 (News Agencies)– Muslim students at Washington University, near St. Louis, now have halal options in campus dining. According to the Muslim Students Association, Washington University is the first school in the state to offer halal food, Stltoday.com reported.
"The goal was to get it started, to get halal in one night a week," explained David Murphy, director of operations for California-based Bon Appetit. "But now we've expanded, to prepare something every day. The goal is to really push it."
For the campus' Muslim students, the halal options mean more alternatives. For Bon Appetit and the food industry at large — from manufacturing giants Kraft and Nestle, to fast food restaurants McDonald's and KFC — halal means big business.

Students at NJIT call for bringing back halal menu
NEWARK, NJ–Muslim students at the New Jersey Institute of Technology are calling on the administration to bring back the halal menu in campus cafetaria.

In a letter to the student newspaper a Muslim student wrote, "We are a campus from countless walks of life, it is important to accommodate these groups and not marginalize them.

AFMI's Educational Mission: A Success
January 18, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
(A Press Note with photographs and a few comments of AFMI delegates)
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, MMNS India Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Delegates of American Federation of Muslims of Indian Origin (AFMI) wrapped up their India-visit last week (January 10) on a satisfactory note. AFMI has been engaged for more than two decades in promoting literacy among Indian Muslims by establishing and/or aiding the existing educational institutions. As a part of its aim to achieve 100 percent literacy rate, the AFMI delegates hold an international convention every year in a different city of the country. This is followed by zonal conventions in several areas. Since the early 1990s, the AFMI has awarded medals (gold, silver & bronze), certificates and cash prizes to students having scored high percentage in Class 10th and 12th board examinations. While recipients of the awards are selected from across the country for the international convention, the zonal convention includes students of that particular zone.
Expressing satisfaction with increase in literacy rate of Indian Muslims, its key founder member, Dr. A.S. Nakadar said: "AFMI has made a difference." Literacy among Muslims has increased by 60%, with 2008 being witness to greater upward trend than earlier, he said. He drew attention to increasing number of Muslim students scoring above 90%. Besides, Nakadar pointed to Muslim applicants to "higher educational institutions being higher than before." He supported this point by referring to 50% quota in Muslim-minority educational institutions being now filled by Muslim students, which "earlier was not the case." Nakadar, a retired cardiologist in Detroit, Michigan, visits India regularly to pursue AFMI's literacy mission.
A key recipient of AFMI's aid is Mijwan Welfare Society run by actor Shabana Azmi in the town called Mijwan (Uttar Pradesh), from where her father- renowned poet late Kaifi Azmi hailed. Azmi showed AFMI delegates the areas in which the students of this institution are engaged in. She expressed the need to further expand this organization with possible aid from AFMI, which is under consideration. The AFMI delegates were here last Thursday (January 8). AFMI delegates addressed the Zonal Educational Conference at Shibli National Inter-College, Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh the same afternoon.
The two-day international convention was held (January 2-3) at Indore in Madhya Pradesh. Among Indian dignitaries who addressed AFMI's 18th annual convention were Union Minister of State for Corporate and Minority Affairs (Independent Charge) Salman Khursheed, Justice MSA Siddiqui, Chairman National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions, Mayor of Indore Krishna Murari Moghe and others. It was the first international conference to be held in Indore this century. It was also the first one, where people from diverse political backgrounds, spoke only on importance of enhancing the literary rate of India's largest minority community- the Muslims.
The Indore convention was followed by a tour of several towns and villages of Uttar Pradesh, with Amroha being the first to be visited by AFMI delegates (January 5). They addressed the Zonal Educational Conference at the institution run by Hakeem Sirajuddin Hashmi. AFMI delegates addressed a similar conference at Hira Public School at Hanswar (January 6).
Summing up his opinion, AFMI President Dr. Iqbal Ahmed expressed that though "Indian Muslims have developed the awareness about importance of education," "poverty remains a major hindrance in achieving education." He cited instances of people who had approached him in Indore about their children having secured admission to B. Tech but were dropped as their loan application was rejected by banks. "Rich segments of Muslims, Wakf boards and other Muslim groups must come forward and share the responsibility," he said. Ahmed is a medical doctor (gastro-enetrology) in Cleveland, Ohio.
Dr. Shakir Mukhi, also a medical doctor (New York) said that AFMI delegates were "impressed" by increase in involvement of Muslims in pursuing higher education. Describing AFMI awards for bright students as providing the needed "incentive" to students to move forward, he said that AFMI plans to come forward with more incentives to help students and educational institutions pursue higher goals.
Reflecting on AFMI's achievements in UP alone, Ali Quraishi said: "We strengthened about 25 schools and built two new ones. It is not easy to complete this job." Nevertheless, expressing confidence, he said: "AFMI's aim is to promote education among Muslims so that no child is left behind. Our aim is to specially educate female students to help educate a whole family." Quraishi, runs a business in Albuquerque, New Mexico and has built a number of educational institutions in Pune, Mumbai and elsewhere.
Psychiatrist Dr. Razia Ahmed (Cleveland, Ohio) said: "I am proud of AFMI which has definitely contributed to increasing awareness of importance of education among the Muslim community." Laying emphasis on the need of involvement of other organizations to help in progress of Indian Muslims, she said: "I wish everyone joins us (AFMI) for this cause."
During their India-visit, the AFMI delegates also met several leaders, including Ahmed Patel (Congress). They voiced their concern about "plight" of Muslim community in Gujarat. In a letter addressed to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, AFMI stated: "The Muslim community in Gujarat feels that opportunities that ideally should be available to all communities are denied to it because of its religious identity. Obstacles are created in its way to establish new educational institutions. State grant is not available to deserving institutions and meritorious students are discriminated in scholarship. In fact, the state government has failed to disburse the full Federal scholarship and grant money to deserving students which they were promised." The letter also states: "The delegates of AFMI strongly feel that implementation of Mishra Commission as well as Sachar Commission" reports "would pave the way for ensuring rights of minorities in Gujarat in all walks of life."
The signatories to the letter addressed to Congress chief include the AFMI delegates visiting India. These include Dr A.S. Nakadar (AFMI-Trustee), Dr. Aslam Abdullah (Trustee), Dr. Iqbal Ahmed (AFMI President), Dr. Shakir Mukhi (former AFMI President), Sheikh Muhammed Quraishi (former President) and AFMI members from various parts of USA and Canada. These are: Rizwana Quraishi (New Mexico), Dr. Razia Ahmed (Ohio), Dr. Khalid Khan (Nevada), Dr. Abdul Aziz (Florida), Dr. S. Ashraf (Washington DC), Dr. W. Baig (Ohio), Dr. Shahida Akhtar (Florida0, Dr Abdur Razzak (Massachusetts) and Mr & Mrs Gahffar Shaikh from Canada.
AFMI's next international convention is scheduled to be held this December in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Interview with Two Blind Muslim Pakistani Students, Imran Ahmed, Hina Altaf…
June 18, 2009 by TMO · 2 Comments
By Adil James, MMNS
Speaking on the phone with Imran Ahmed, there is no way that a person could know that he is disabled, he has the same accent one would expect, and the same manners, but perhaps there is a gentleness to him, a mercy that has come to his heart from his illness.
Imran Ahmed and Hina Altaf are brother and sister, although perhaps you might not know it from their names. He is named after one side of the family, she after another. And yet although they do not share a surname they share an unfortunate disease which has caused their blindness.
"We both have been blind since birth," Imran explains, "we both have the same disease, none of our other family members have it–we both have light sections, light and dark, and we can tell how intense light is. But we can't see colors or shapes. The disease is hereditary… It is a very rare disease, and there are 2 cases every five years."
The two are studying at Carroll University in Waukesha Wisconsin, close to Milwaukee. He is 24, she is 25, and they hope to graduate next year.
"We were in Pakistan," he explains, "my father's cousin lived in Waukesha, and he suggested Carroll College–we applied and were accepted." After they found sponsors to help them, they came.
Despite their studies, they maintain contact with the Muslim community although such contact is difficult since they have to depend on others to bring them to and from the mosque, and since the Muslim community at their school is extremely small.
Imran explains, "Unfortunately it's a very very small college, we are the only two Muslim students from Pakistan—there is another student that she lives up campus, we don't have any Muslim student associations on campus."
Although there are few Muslims, several people have been very helpful to the brother and sister.
"For at least one year into our stay, we didn't know anybody," says Imran. "But one of our American friends brought us to the Islamic Center in Milwaukee," 35 minutes away from campus.
Between the US and Pakistan, Imran explains, "there is a tremendous difference… in Pakistan, people don't understand the meaning of a white cane–travel is difficult and dangerous. There are potholes, there is always construction on the roads. That hinders a lot of blind people from travelling. The layout of roads is different. Here there is always a curb so you know you are getting close–here there is a strategy to cross roads… things are a little better planned out here. People have been more accepting here. Even if people are reluctant to give you an opportunity, but there is always a hope that you will have an opportunity. A lot of people of people appreciate and give you the opportunity to do things."
Imran has optimism about his future–he and his sister both intend to build lives for themselves, each of them intends to work and marry as circumstances permit.
The difficulties they face, of course, make a mockery of the difficulties that many Muslims and others encounter–in order to study they must either find books in braille or find audio versions of their books–something which was nearly impossible in Pakistan.
Imran explains that he hopes to find a job in tech support or web design—"if possible, I would like to eventually move on to adaptive access technology, teach blind people, or sighted people how to use adaptive technology."
And they would like to improve conditions in Pakistan for people who are not sighted.
"We want to start a Braille library, in Urdu," and he wants to help to create OCR software for reading into Urdu as well.
To contact Imran: firstname.lastname@example.com, or 262-305-9709.

- Write insightful sermons as part of the ISJL's Taste of Torah series.
- Provide pastoral care: home, nursing home, hospital visits.
- Take an important role in the ISJL's annual Education Conference.
- Address & participate with interfaith groups, representing the ISJL & the Jewish community.
- Join the Director of Rabbinic Services in officiating life-cycle events.

What You Will Gain:
This position is ideal for a creative, flexible, practical idealist, who desires to work hard and gain experience in religious leadership within the congregational, educational, and organizational components of Jewish communal service. Through this energizing summer internship, you will establish important contacts with other Jewish professionals as well as gain invaluable skills – in mentorship with the Director of Rabbinic Services – that will help shape your rabbinate or cantorate for years to come.

I am considering moving myself and my hostas from Quebec to somewhere on Vancouver Island. I would appreciate any info on hosta growing there... and perhaps the best part of the island for hostas. Thanks so much. |

Hostas grow like weeds pretty much anywhere in the Pacific Northwest......if you can keep the deer and slugs away from them :-) There shouldn't be any issues (other than those 2 already mentioned) growing them anywhere you like on Vancouver Island. FWIW, many hostas can be grown in full sun here without problems - we are far enough north that the sun even in summer is not very intense. |

I echo Gardengal: Deer food. Be sure to get a place that is deer fenced. |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Wed, Sep 23, 09 at 12:12
It's just as Garden gal said Hosta's thrive here. The only problems are deer, slugs and unfortunately I have to add snails to that list. I think you could choose anywhere on the island for Hostas. If you are interested in growing some of the more tender plants the closer to Victoria the better. They grow plants on the south end of the island that I can't grow here in Nanaimo. |

Purdue faculty members question campus merger renaming process
By Christin Nance Lazerus email@example.com April 23, 2014 7:44PM
Updated: May 25, 2014 3:54PM
Students, alumni, faculty and staff at Purdue University Calumet and Purdue University North Central last week voted on seven proposed names for the combined campus, but the process of soliciting and vetting those suggestions has some concerned about its fairness.
The names up for consideration are, in alphabetical order, Purdue University Lakefront, Purdue University Lake Michigan, Purdue University Lake Shore, Purdue University Lakeshore, Purdue University Lakeside, Purdue University Shoreline and Purdue University South Shore
In February, the campuses announced they would start the process of combining their administrative and academic functions, and last month they said they were looking for a new name. They accepted suggestions via email, tallied the most popular names and then surveyed the campuses.
The voting results will be presented at the May 9 meeting of the Unification Committee, which will narrow them to two or three choices to be presented to the university's board of trustees for a final decision.
The Purdue University Calumet chapter of the American Association of University Professors released the letter it sent to the two chancellors protesting the process.
"After proposed names were gathered, a decision was made by you and the Marketing and Communications Committee to select seven proposed names for voting," the letter read. "It is clear from the communication of the decision that these were not the seven most popular names. There was no mention of the fact at that time that names would be screened by a small group of individuals and then restricted based on criteria not mentioned in the original request."
PUC spokesman Wes Lukoshus said the process is ongoing, but inviting responses wasn't the only method that the universities used to arrive at the seven finalist names.
"A group comprised of communication-marketing staff members from both campuses, as well as both chancellors met to select 10 suggested names for survey inclusion," Lukoshus wrote in an email. "When consensus was reached on no more than seven names, only those names were listed on the survey."
He said other suggestions and comments will be collected at May 9 meeting, and all of the information will be evaluated in the naming process.
"The Unification Committee also has recommended that the unified university identity will preserve North Central and Calumet campus references," Lukoshus wrote.

For the love of god she does not suck that much... (not as much as rengar, at least.) Lets list some complaints and examine counterpoints - 1. Q mana cost too high, spheres don't last long enough. Syndra, I believe, is a more late game oriented champion, with her passive only working at a skills maximum level. Build around that. Get chalice, beg a blue buff from jungler, and farm your ass off in lane. the spheres- if they made the spheres last longer, her ultimate would be a nightmare. As it is right now its actually difficult to reach full damage potential on her ultimate. If the duration of the spheres were lengthened, it would be laughably easy to combo and ult. 2. her w has an extremely long travel time- Syndra is one of the mids with aoe hard CC built in! The only other one I can think of would be annie. It also has utility not found in other mages. ( Potential buff steals anyone?) 3. Her E cone is too small, its too hard stun, etc. This skill is all about personal SKILL. Now your cone, your limitations, how far the sphere will go, how to aim it. Practice more, please. 4. And FINALLY, her ult. People say it does too little damage... With 5-6 spheres out with a full build late game, you'll be dealing approximately 1300-1600 damage, not counting the damage you dealt to set up that combo in the first place. with good positioning, their ad carry is dead meat. second - IT LEAVES BEHIND EVERY SINGLE SPHERE SHOT. In a hectic teamfight, this means the opportunity to send out a massive cone stun into a group of possibly the entire enemy team. Even if 'dodged' Its an extra skill, flash, movement, et that they would have to take, and might be an oppurtunity for your team to catch up or flee. TLDR- Syndra is all about teamfight presence and lategame because of her passive and her high mana costs. While she might not be the best choice in solo queue because of her reliance on a decent team, I believe that if paired up with a pro team or at least a well organized one, syndra prings a LOT to the table in cc and damage.
One of the mids with hard cc built in? Most mages could say the same, and most mids don't need to use 2 abilities to do it. On one hand, she spends more mana, and on another, most of it does no damage because you have to aim it ahead of yourself, or in prep, to make use of the stun. That, and they're both skillshots, and there's a second delay.
Brand needs 2. Annie needs 3. Leblanc's silence takes 2. Xeraths stun takes 2. I see your point though. The point of this thread wasn't to say she doesn't have problems, but that with just a few minor buffs she'll be back on par with many other AP mids. One thing though, I don't think any other ap mid has such a large possible stun area if set up right. Much larger than annies, which is only in a small area.
But even with her relative weakness right now, playing her just so satisfying. Whenever you killed an enemy, it feels like you've tried so hard to combo and do everything right. That's why I enjoy syndra in the first place. Instantly killing someone with veigar's ult just isn't what I'm looking for in league. Thanks for the feedback!

AJMER/BIKANER: While it rained through the night on Tuesday in Jaipur, several districts of the state also witnessed heavy rainfall.
In Ajmer, a part of a building in Langerkhana gali of the dargah region fell in morning due to excessive rain. Looking at the condition of other old buildings in the area, the municipal council demolished two other buildings that were damaged to prevent any harm to life.
The rainfall ensured that water level goes up in the Bisalpur dam, and by Wednesday evening, the level stood at 311.37 meters. However, it has still not touched last year's level. "Around this time in 2011, the level in the dam went up to 314.25 meters and the department opened its gates to release water for irrigation," said an official from the Bisalpur dam control room.
Heavy rains caused water logging in Nagra, Gujjar dhari and many other parts of Ajmer district. In Bikaner too, it started raining heaving on Wednesday, which led to panic among residents of low-lying areas.
Several areas in Sri Kolayat tehsil are still water logged after last week's rainfall. Villages like Bala ka Gola, Hada, Thakusar, Dhingasar, Sankhla Basti in Sri Kolayat tehsil are still cut-off from the main areas. Various government and non-government agencies and social activists are making efforts to provide relief to the villagers who have lost their houses and have taken shelter at temporary constructions under trees. Though the district administration has made arrangements for supplying relief material, it is not reaching people in remote areas.

Earlier this month I had brought you the first image of the Zac Brown Band's album artwork for their upcoming "Uncaged" CD, and boy was it a doozy.
Well it turns out that the album artwork really IS a work of art and not just an out-there drawing by some unnamed person who was high on anesthesia after getting dental work done.
Frank and Zeus both left comments on my earlier post with the name and website of the artist -- Brandon Maldonado. The painting (?) on "Uncaged" is called Our Lady of Merciful Fate.
Kind of cool now that the initial shock and wonder is wearing off.
You can buy limited prints of similar artwork for $50 from the artist's website at BrandonMaldonado.com. "Uncaged" hits stores July 10th.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then the LORD said to me, "Suppose Moses and Samuel were standing in front of me. Even then my heart would not feel sorry for these people. Send them away from me! Let them go! | 1 Then the LORD said to me: "Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people. Send them away from my presence! Let them go! |
2 "Suppose they ask you, 'Where should we go?' "Then tell them, 'The LORD says, " ' "Those I have appointed to die will die. Those I have appointed to be killed with swords will be killed with swords. Those I have appointed to die of hunger will die of hunger. Those I have appointed to be taken away as prisoners will be taken away." ' | 2 And if they ask you, 'Where shall we go?' tell them, 'This is what the LORD says: " 'Those destined for death, to death; those for the sword, to the sword; those for starvation, to starvation; those for captivity, to captivity.' |
3 "I will send four kinds of destroyers against them," announces the Lord. "Swords will kill them. Dogs will drag them away. Birds of the air will eat them up. And wild animals will destroy them. | 3 "I will send four kinds of destroyers against them," declares the LORD, "the sword to kill and the dogs to drag away and the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. |
4 "I will make all of the kingdoms on earth hate them. That will happen because of what Manasseh did in Jerusalem. He was king of Judah and the son of Hezekiah. | 4 I will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem. |
5 "Jerusalem, who will have pity on you? Who will sob over you? Who will stop to ask how you are doing? | 5 "Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will stop to ask how you are? |
6 You have said no to me," announces the Lord. "You keep on turning away from me. So I will destroy you with my own hands. I can't show you my tender love anymore. | 6 You have rejected me," declares the LORD. "You keep on backsliding. So I will lay hands on you and destroy you; I can no longer show compassion. |
7 I will stand at the city gates of the land. I will separate the straw from the grain. I will destroy my people. I will bring great sorrow on them. They have not changed their ways. | 7 I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways. |
8 I will increase the number of their widows. They will be more than the grains of sand on the seashore. At noon I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of the young men among my people. All at once I will bring down on them great suffering and terror. | 8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. At midday I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of their young men; suddenly I will bring down on them anguish and terror. |
9 Mothers who have many children will grow weak. They will take their last breath. The sun will set on them while it is still day. They will be dishonored and put to shame. All those who are left alive I will kill with swords. I will have their enemies do it," announces the Lord. | 9 The mother of seven will grow faint and breathe her last. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. I will put the survivors to the sword before their enemies," declares the LORD. |
10 My mother, I wish I had never been born! The whole land opposes me. They fight against me. I haven't made loans to anyone. And I haven't borrowed anything. But everyone still calls down curses on me. | 10 Alas, my mother, that you gave me birth, a man with whom the whole land strives and contends! I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me. |
11 The LORD said, "Jeremiah, I will keep you safe for a good purpose. I will make your enemies ask you to pray for them. They will make their appeal to you when they are in great trouble. | 11 The LORD said, "Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will make your enemies plead with you in times of disaster and times of distress. |
12 "People of Judah, the armies of Babylonia will come from the north. They are as strong as iron and bronze. Can anyone break their power? | 12 "Can a man break iron-- iron from the north--or bronze? |
13 I will give away your wealth and your treasures. Your enemies will carry off everything. And they will not pay anything for it. That will happen because you have sinned so much. You have done it all through your country. | 13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without charge, because of all your sins throughout your country. |
14 I will make you slaves to your enemies. You will serve them in a land you have not had anything to do with before. My anger will start a fire that will burn you up." | 14 I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for my anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you." |
15 Lord, you understand how much I'm suffering. Show concern for me. Take care of me. Pay back those who are trying to harm me. You are patient. Don't take my life away from me. Think about how much shame I suffer because of you. | 15 You understand, O LORD; remember me and care for me. Avenge me on my persecutors. You are long-suffering--do not take me away; think of how I suffer reproach for your sake. |
16 When I received your words, I ate them. They filled me with joy. My heart took delight in them. LORD God who rules over all, I belong to you. | 16 When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God Almighty. |
17 I never sat around with those who go to wild parties. I never had a good time with them. I sat alone because you had put your powerful hand on me. Your anger against sin was burning inside me. | 17 I never sat in the company of revelers, never made merry with them; I sat alone because your hand was on me and you had filled me with indignation. |
18 Why does my pain never end? Why is my wound so deep? Why can't I ever get well? To me you are like a stream that runs dry. You are like a spring that doesn't have any water. | 18 Why is my pain unending and my wound grievous and incurable? Will you be to me like a deceptive brook, like a spring that fails? |
19 So the LORD says, "Turn away from your sins. Then I will heal you. And then you will be able to serve me. Speak words that are worthy, not worthless. Then you will be speaking for me. Let these people turn to you. But you must not turn to them. | 19 Therefore this is what the LORD says: "If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them. |
20 I will make you like a wall to them. I will make you like a strong bronze wall. The people will fight against you. But they will not overcome you. I am with you. I will save you," announces the Lord. | 20 I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to rescue and save you," declares the LORD. |
21 "I will save you from the hands of evil people. I will set you free from those who treat you badly." | 21 "I will save you from the hands of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the cruel." |

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 Misty!
Facts about Misty
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Misty's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Lab/German Shepard mix. She looks more like a Lab physically, but has a German Shepard marking on her tail. She has a petite frame for her breed, but is a strong girl.
Estimated Age: 3 years old.
Estimated Weight: 42 lbs.
Temperament: Quiet inside the house. Will bark at what she perceives as potential danger or strangers. Loves attention and affection. Also loves tummy rubs. Mostly sweet and loving.
Crate or Housetrained?:
Misty is both crate and house trained. She relaxes in the crate regularly and sleeps in the crate over night. She will stay in the crate while we're out of the house. She also has a daily potty/walk routine. Misty also responds to the "sit" command and is being trained not to get on the couches and beds. She is a quick learner.
Good with other dogs or cats?:
Misty currently lives with two small dogs and gets along with them very well. She did not utter a single bark the first day she met them. She loves to play/rough house with them, but knows her limits because of their size differences. She also naps with the little dogs as if they're her children.
Good with kids?:
Misty spent one weekend with my 15 month old niece. Misty was great with the baby. My niece walks all over the house and Misty was careful not to collide with the baby. Misty was fully aware of my niece's small delicate size. Misty has a natural motherly instinct.
The $85 adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, rabies tag, heartworm test, and 1st month's flea/tick & heartworm preventative. Please complete an adoption application at www.sarocks.org, or email firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to make this dog part of your family!
Other Pets at San Antonio R.O.C.K.S.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Misty, a San Antonio Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog for sale in San Antonio, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in San Antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Antonio 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 Antonio 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 Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

UB celebrates 63rd Foundation Day
-A A +ATuesday, October 4, 2011
THE CELEBRATION has been postponed the first time it was planned in August due to the typhoon, this postponement just paved way to the success of the 63rd Foundation Day celebration of the University of Baguio (UB) last September 18, 2011.
Established in 1946, the celebration was highlighted with the election of the University of Baguio Alumni Foundation, Inc (UBAFI) officers who will manage the affairs of the foundation in the remaining of 2011 until August 2012. Elected into office were: Dr William Occidental (president), Dr. Julita Jacaban (vp internal), Jeffrey Ordas (vp external), Cynthia Cadag (secretary), Dr Agnes Haydee Dabucol (treasurer), Mila Densen (auditor), Dr Josefina Esguerra (PRO), Eduardo Bautista and Dr Ruben Yapyap (business managers), Edward Laureano and Jorge Borja Jr (Sgts-at-arms), Ed Gamayon and Eleazar Demayo (endowment fund officers-external) and Dr Demetrio Daet and Dr Lloyd Urdoña (endowment fund officers-internal).
Guest speaker in the occasion was mayor Oscar Camantiles of Itogon, Benguet, who himself was a graduate of the University of Baguio.
In his speech, Camantiles recalled the beginnings of the university back in its conception in the minds of a couple who dreamt of a mission, which turned out to be a successful mission.
Camantiles compared this couple to the dreams of the founders of the university, Tatay Nanding and Nanay Rosa.
Camantiles said the phrases IT IS ALL UP THERE and WILL YOU BE THERE were neither thought of by accident or by chance because "they present the true defining meaning and essence of how this culture of excellence came about, how it should be understood and the culture should be lived."
He added that these phrases are replies of the alumni to a mission, a mission to carry on for the future generations, to live up to the legacy of Tatay and Nanay.
In closing, Itogon Mayor Oscar Camantiles said, "It is my humble belief that indeed it is our turn to nurture and perpetuate this culture of excellence which our founders have dreamt of and realized for us. Si Jose Rizal noon, tayo naman ngayon and in the same way, sina Tatay Nanding at Nanay Rosa noon, tayo naman ngayon. Atin pong ipagpatuloy ang kanilang sinimulan."
Further, he thanked the out-going officers of the UBAFI 2010-2011 namely: Dr William Occidental, Arch Benedict Loy, Dr. Julita Jacaban, Cynthia Cadag, Dr. Agnes Haydee Dabucol, Mila Densen, Jeff Ordas, Eduardo Bautista, Dr Ruben Yapyap, Leonardo Bustria, Jorge Borja, Dr Demi Daet, Atty. Remedios Reyes and Atty Joris Karl Dacawi.
Acting as Commission on elections during the selection of 2011-2012 UBAFI Officers were lawyers Joseph Rulla and Joseph Dacawi.

I don't know where to post this question! If another forum is more appropriate and would receive more replies, please advise me of this.
I live in southwest Idaho, on the edge of the desert, zone 5 or Sunset 3. I have good irrigation water at my disposal using underground sprinklers. I purchased some boxwood - True Dwarf Boxwood - Buxus sempervirens suffruticosa. I want to make a very small, easy caring for parterre garden by my entry way. It would be no more than about 15 feet long by about 4-6 feet wide. The boxwood would edge it. What easy care plantings should I put inside? I've heard of bulb parterre gardens - is it possible to plant a season to season variety (what kind) of bulbs that wouldn't need to be lifted and still look good, thus achieving an easy and carefree parterre garden? This would be in full sun with a south facing wall as wind protection with a concrete walkway on one side of the boxwood and lawn on the other. If not bulbs, can you give ideas for care free perennials that would do? I'm on a budget, if that makes a difference! Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't think the topiary forum is the right place for this question. It really a question of which perennials, or bulbs can withstand drying wind and soil conditions. Being near a desert I would suppose the conditions would be semi-arid. Look around your neighborhood or the people in your town for examples of plant materials. Are bulbs common? If so, chances are it will thrive. Ianna |

I am currently having issues with my AutoCAD 2012 Civil 3D when I got to start it up.
I select the program and open it, after which my computer begins to flash (the screen) and in the background the page that shows AutoCAD loading is distorted in size (going from big to small and back again), the whole while it is flashing. By flashing I mean it is alternating between a black blank screen and giving glimpses of my desktop and the AutoCAD load menu.
I then have to do a manual shut down of the computer to get it to quit.
Has anyone else had this issue tied directly to AutoCAD, if so how was it fixed? Any suggestions on what the issue may be?
If anyone has any help I appreciate it.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by klaus.schumann. See the answer in context.
Hi Brandon,
If you send me an NFO file we can check what Graphics adapter (and driver) you have and do some troubleshooting from there.
In Windows XP simply run "msinfo32.exe" as you cannot search for it as in W7 as per my instructions in my previous post.
can you send us your system specs? Especially your os, your gc and your amount of memory.
- alfred -
This has not been as issue previously. I have been operating this program on my computer for near 6 months now, and as of yesterday this was the first time I had any issues.
Occassionally it would lag slightly, but never something like this.
Windows XP 2002
Intel Core i3-2100 CPU @3.1GHz
3.09 GHz, 3.16 GB of Ram
167 GB free memory space (232GB total)
I am unsure what the graphics card is for the computer.
I should also add that I can access my other programs on my computer fine, it seems to be tied directly to AutoCAD.
Hi Brandon,
Have there been any configuration changes recently performed on the machine? The most common cause of this could be a graphics adaptor driver update maybe?
It would help if you could post an NFO file of your system:
1. Click start
2. In the search bar enter "msinfo32.exe", then select the first result from the list
3. In the System Information window click File > Save and save your NFO file
Hi Brandon,

In Windows XP simply run "msinfo32.exe" as you cannot search for it as in W7 as per my instructions in my previous post.
Was able to do some troubleshooting on the drivers for the computer, reinstalled a video driver, all seems to be working well now. Thank you all for your input.
Great news... Glad it works and thanks for confirming. :-)

Hi. We have a Samsung 1080i HDTV. It is 1-2 years old. Three separate times we have had the same problem. The TV works fine then we turned it on and the color was all off. Nothing is the correct color. When we switch to Video to watch a DVD you can see on the first blue screen that there is a circle of red in the middle surrounded by a ring of green, then a ring of blue and then green again. It affects any setting the TV is on. The first time this happened the discoloration lasted about 2 weeks and then one morning just turned the TV on and it was fine. It was good for a few months then happened again. Each time it lasts a couple of weeks then just fixes itself. We have tried unplugging the TV overnight, resetting the TV and cable box. Has anyone heard of this and does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks, Kristy |

text: I was not a rower in high school or college, but always liked the idea of it. (I thought about those rowers in spandex all the time, as a matter of fact.) When I found out that Equinox offered a rowing-inspired class, I was thrilled. It's called Shockwave and was created by champion rower Josh Crosby and Jay Blahnik to take the unique cardiovascular and strength benefits of the rowing movement and expand upon them. Turns out Shockwave is a total-body-conditioning circuit, divided into short intervals. At various points we used a ViPR bar (a heavy rubber tube with handles that Equinox trainers have developed routines around), weighted body bars, and kettle bells. Much of the workout was on the Indo-Row rowing machine, which is no joke. It's a race to the finish as each team moves through these circuits. When I won I threw my hands in the air and did a very non-Olympic victory dance. The end results were that I had a great workout, literally everything was sore, I was shaking by the time I went back to work, and Shockwave has become one of my favorite classes at Equinox. Note to those playing office hooky: Do not tell your boss you are going to therapy as an excuse. I came back trembling and exhausted from class, and she thought that I must have had a disturbing breakthrough with my therapist.
