Australia's Long-Awaited Islamic Museum opens its Doors 3 March 2014
A new museum showcasing Islamic art, design and ingenuity has officially opened its doors to the public.
The Islamic Museum of Australia, located in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury, was declared open by Australia's treasurer Joe Hockey.
With a mission to highlight a singularly Australian expression of Islamic culture, the $10 million purpose-built space focuses on Muslim and Australian identity.
âThe support that we have tonight is phenomenal,â said Mr Moustafa Fahour, one of the museum's founders. âI heard a comment today where someone said that we as Australian Muslims feel proud that we contributed to this country. And to hear people from other faiths say the museum was amazing is, for me, the ultimate goal.â
"I think art is more universal and can really bring people from all faiths and cultures together and once you learn and understand you'll actually celebrate these differences," Mr. Fahour explained.
Even before you cross the threshold, it's clear that idea is embodied in the building's distinct design.
The large warehouse space is partially enveloped in Australian corten steel patterned with indigenous themes.
Where it wraps across the front entrance-way the rusted red steel meets a sleek grey front emblazoned with Arabic script quoting a passage from the Qur'an which translates to "so narrate to them the stories so that upon them they may reflect".
The route around the museum is a deliberate journey, starting with a space that explores elements of Islamic faith and efforts to explain concepts too often misunderstood or misrepresented; terms like "jihad" and "hajj" along with the origins of Islam.
Examples of archeology including early bone and ivory chess pieces from Afghanistan give way to modern art inspired by and created by Australian Muslims.
A special piece of their permanent collection has pride of place; a series of three beautifully painted surfboards inspired by the 2005 Cronulla Riots in Sydney .
Several notable Australian Muslims have been involved in this project, including the CEO of Australia Post, Ahmed Fahour, who is serving as the museum's patron.
His brother Moustafa Fahour explains the project is an exercise in "enhancing the social cohesive and multicultural landscape and really give a window into the Islamic life and the Australian muslim history and contributions they've made to Australia and to civilisation."
He hopes people from right around the nation will embrace their mission.
Some may need to step outside their culture, others outside their comfort zone but what they step into will undoubtedly be worth the effort.

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 Luna!
Facts about Luna
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Luna's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
MEET LUNA!! She is a 1yr old cutie!! She was rescue from Downey with her 4 sisters! These poor girl were so skinny and sick when we rescued them. We got them all healthy and now they are nearly ready for a loving home! She is a complete love! She also loves to eat! Lol She is spayed, tested negative for HIV/Leukemia, flea-treated, dewormed, and double vaccinated. She is ready for a new home now.
Luna's adoption fee is $60
The adoption fee is $60 for adults, $50 for seniors, $80 for one kitten and $150 for two! That includes: fixing, combo test, flea treatment, deworming, vaccinations and medications.
If you are interested in meeting these wonderful little guys, please go to www.luigisrescue.org and fill out the adoption application. Once it is reviewed we will be in contact to set up a time for you to meet all of the kittens! =)
Other Pets at Luigi's Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Luna, a Simi Valley Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Simi Valley, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Simi Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Simi Valley 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 Simi Valley 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Simi Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.

If I'm not in yoga pants and a zip-up hoodie on the weekends, then I'm definitely in something still casual, like this. Summer and winter both have their own ideal casual options and the leggings/vest combo is definitely my go-to for the winter months.

I was so excited that I started sending pictures of my mini farm to people (which is a sad reflection on how boring my life is, but that's beside the point.)
I was happy. I was excited. I was starting to think, This mini-farming thing is a piece of cake . And then, I noticed the mold growing on my farm:
At that moment I became a wee bit melodramatic. It's possible that I might have shouted up at the sky, "WHY? Why me? Why is this happening? All I wanted was a little bit of basil and a strawberry or two. Is that too much to ask?"
Once I have moved past the panic and the melodrama, I asked myself WWCD? What would Charles Ingalls do? And I decided that he would have consulted with his elders. So I asked my Dad what to do about the situation. First he suggested that I had overwatered the plants. I was slightly offended by this suggestion. How dare he insult my farming abilities? Maybe if I was an amateur farmer the blame could be placed on me. But I had been a farmer for 12 days at this point. Clearly I knew what I was doing.
Then he suggested that maybe the problem was that the air in the house was too humid and that the plants might fare better outside. My plants were growing too large for the original containers anyway, so I was going to need to replant at some point. So, with a hopeful heart, and visions of a mini-harvest dinner looming in my mind, I set to work on phase 2 of mini-farming, repotting the crops:
The cilantro was much more difficult to replant. The stems were so droopy and the dirt in the original pot was so shallow that transplanting it resulted in a plant that looked like it was already dead:
But, as millions of farmers have before me, I bravely soldiered on (picture me humming This Land is Your Land while doing so.) And I ended up with a replanted mini-farm that looked like this:
I watered the crops (with much less water than before), arranged the pots on my front porch, and hoped for the best! Join me next time dear readers, for another installment of Little Porch on the Prairie and I'll share the final chapter of my attempt at mini-farming attempts.

My group and I are going to start up playing Dark Heresy again after about 2 years and I have develpoed a small adventure for my acolytes to dip there feet back into the world of 40k. Were also starting out fresh with new characters and everything.
The story that I have developed, so far, is that the acolytes have been asked by there inquisitor to do a favor for an old freind of his in a small town in the outskirts of a larger city on a hive world. The acolyes are freshly trained and this is there first mission under there first inquisitor. The inquisitors old friend is now the priest of a church in this small town that has been recently getting marked with the sign of khorne, in what appears to be blood. This is what the acolytes know and must investigate.
What I had in mind was that a cult of khorne followers from the main city had come to this church to harrass it and its members, also while trying to introduce some bloodwurms into the food supply of the locals.
Ultimately the acolytes will discover what his happeing, kill a few heretics and track the khorne cultists to the sewers of the main city where they raise these bloodworms in the filth of the sewers.
As for what happens inbetween, encounters and discoveries I dont know how to add flavurful encounters that lead the acolytes to advance in the story.
I need help adding encounters and clues for the acolytes to grab onto and advance through this idea of a story I have.

I have a 8' sliding door...the problem is the rail on which it slides(rolls) is splitting which makes it very difficult for the door to roll along. Called Andersen and they sent me a replacement rail(just the rounded rail) along with two new rollers for the bottom of the door.
Has anyone run into this problem and in turn replaced the rail? It doesn't seem that the rail pops off, I tried to start one end before i got a couple of guys to take the door out and begin the project. Thanks in advance, Abby |

text: There was a single-vehicle accident last night in Clarkson at approximately 5:10 at 217 E. Main Street. A maroon Dodge Neon ran off the roadway and flipped into a ditch, coming to rest against a utility pole. The Grayson County Sheriff and Clarkson Fire Departments responded to the crash. Although the car was heavily damaged, the female driver extricated herself from the inverted vehicle prior to first responders arriving on the scene. The driver refused medical treatment via a call to police dispatch -- it's not clear who placed the call -- before officials arrived at the crash site. EMS, who was in route to the scene, turned back after receiving a stand-down call from dispatch. There were no other passengers in the car. The driver of the car seemed "out of it," according to a Clarkson fireman who was working the scene. The driver sat in a civilian truck with tinted windows in a driveway near the accident site as she waited for her car to be towed. It's unclear at this time if the driver's behavior was due to a head injury, or other reasons. The sheriff's deputy working the scene approached the passenger door of the truck at least once and briefly spoke with someone inside. It's not clear, though, what the exchange entailed.

Starz is developing a new TV series based on the Best Picture Oscar-winning 2005 movie Crash. Don Cheadle (pictured), who starred in and produced the film, will also produce the series along with the film's writer-director, Paul Haggis, co-writer-producer Bobby Moresco, and producers Bob Yari, Mark R. Harris, and Tom Nunan. Lionsgate, which distributed the movie, will also co-produce the show along with Starz. The Crash series, set to debut sometime this year and roll out 13 one-hour episodes, will be the cable channel's first original drama series.
Starz launching 'Crash' TV series
Good for him BUT can I just rant and rave about how Mr. Cheadle was robbed of a major award nod this season for his lead performance in Talk to Me?!? A Major Oversight!
Yup, I do agree, Talk to me was a great film that went under the radar.
I just love Don Cheadle..and I loved the movie "Crash' written by fellow Canadian Paul Haggis("Way to go Paul..eh")but I fear it will not be avaiable in Canada through cable TV,since Starz Channel is not included in the programming…maybe I'll get lucky and it will be picked up by another premium cable network here.
B. Blakeslee
"Crash" — the movie that nobody saw, that won an award it didn't deserve, and that like a boorish and unwelcome relative, refuses to go away.
May it enjoy all the success of "The Black Donnellys"! -
CRASH has taken over small neighborhoods in Albuquerque to do this filming, likely violating zoning requirements and making neigbhors angry. It is an awful situation, the producers of CRASH don't care who they step on to produce their TV series.
Likely a zoning violation? NO it is CLEARLY a zoning violation. The film crews are happy to park their porta potties wherever they can, fill our streets and every square foot of unoccupied land with semi-trucks, trailers, and 12-passenger vans – spewing exhaust into the pristine cottonwood forest. The real problem is that the director and staff at the Albuquerque Film Office only care about making money and simply ignore their own guidelines, not holding the crew accountable for their actions. Mayor Marty Chavez only cares about making money for the city and putting on a smiling face. Hey Marty, it is hard to smile when the air in your back yard reeks of urine from the porta potties parked next door and the air is heavy with exhaust fumes. Maybe they will film in your area soon!
Wow! Hey I loved the movie Crash. I had to watch it twice before I started to get it. That is the mark of a good movie. Won and oscar so I must not be alone in this. But alas it is a movie for the thinking person. You aggrivators are going to have to get their head out of the portapotties before you can smell the roses. I live in Santa Fe… we would love to have Crash come up here and film. Kudo's to the mayor of Albuquerque, Marty Chavez, the producers, crew and cast of "Crash"… thank you for coming to New Mexico. Make us proud!
Well to be honest they do most the filming in Rio Rancho not Albuquerque right next door to my place of business, and we are very glad they are here. Even on the days that they ask us to stop work outside as they do their filming. Thanks for choosing Rio Rancho NM as your filming site.
Alright, so I work with a bunch of the 'Crash' people. They are generally nice people. There are a few of them, that could be a little nicer, and they certainly know who they are. The stunt coordinator has been here since May or so and won't leave until October. Give these guys a break.
Hey..the folks here in the Jemez are use to it all…they are doing an okay job here..and like all the others..welcome folks…and come again.

Great movie. Should make for a great series. The actors sure made for a tough act to follow. I hop the starz can pull it off because it would be an amazing and intriguing show.

CRASH is an outstanding movie and deserved the oscar. It raised issues that we all need to think about and live with each day- we are all connected to one human family. The actors were outstanding! The television series is sure to be a hit especially because of the Moresco/Haggis writing. People who are lucky enough to have the cast working in their area. Welcome them. People who work hard enjoy good shows and movies and realize how hard these actors work. Let's all applaud these talented people. I welcome the series and wish the Black Donnellys were back on too it didn't stay on long enough.

Crash was a very good film, but not without it's flaws, far from deserving of the "Best Picture" Oscar it won. My list of 2005 films that were more deserving…
The Three Burials of Malquides Estrada (wasn't even nominated, but absolutely should have won, no question)
The Beat That My Heart Skipped
Everything is Illuminated
Breakfast on Pluto
A History of Violence
Winter Solstice
The Ballad of Jack and Rose
The Constant Gardener
Goodnight and Goodluck
A few of these would never have stood a chance due to them being foreign films, and the Oscars are incredibly biased against nominating foreign films for the major awards (even when they are without a doubt better than any American films made that year), and a few weren't popular enough (and the Oscars are absolutely as much about popularity as anything else, see all of Titanic's disgraceful wins).
That all being said I actually think a Crash TV series could be quite good if handled correctly. -
The nice thing is, as a series…
You can put up with it hehe. -

Crash: TV series is set to air in Canada on national Pay-TV station Super Channel starting October 20.
Catch an exclusive first look at Episode 1 online in Canada at Super U (www.superu.ca).
Drawing from the racially-charged Oscar award-winning story line of the movie and starring Dennis Hopper at his most outrageous, the show is definitely worth checking out.

Hi Guys,
I want to get in to the world of graphic design tutorials and would appreciate some feedback on my first tutorial.
Thanks in advance,
Paul Hill
I think you should fill side column. Might be stick it's content on the screen. Or do something like this http://habrahabr.ru/post/206264/ (they show hot topics when you scrolled out of column content)Main column looks a bit squashed with all those borders.PSD font looks a bit off. Might be you should instead use font of the psd icon. And bottom part looks bad as if you cut it.Also i think you should make big banner with carousel of the lessons results.
Thanks for the feedback but was actually looking for a review of the tutorial content...
Oh sorry. Didn't know that people here make this kind of content reviews. I mean sure they should know thing or two about Photoshop... Thanks god it's not a math tutorial
Nice content - I like the headers as people can follow the steps without reading the content in between to get an overview and then delve into the detail a bit more if they decide it's for them or if they need more info. I think it's a really useful tutorial and one that will be popular for people to view.
If I was to be hyper critical I think that it's a bit too wordy - I'd try to cut down on the content as much as possible as keep it really snappy - more often than not people are trying to troubIeshoot and have a problem with something that they are working on when they read this kind or article so the faster that they can get the info the better. I also think that it's great that you have video and text with the tutorial.
Good job!
Thanks for the feedback Ryan and I totally get what you mean about it being wordy. It is hard to reign it in but I shall try
Thanks again!
With regards to the content:From what I can see within the first few minutes, it's pretty clear. I like that you added a video review aswell. About the topic of your content though: There are hundreds of tutorials that show the exact same thing, what do you offer as an extra?
I know what you are getting at and you are right...we can always do more to stand out from the crowd but it is early days for this website - big things planned for 2014
I like the theme design its very easy on the eyes.
Content, I like your navi, it gives me quick access to what I need to know right away.
on fish finder, maybe add a fish chart, a lot of times I know what they look like but have no idea what the name remotely is..
also maybe put most common searched or seen fish?
the articles are hard to find though and then when you go to an different section of the page, it links to your current website, I am assuming it will be changed and just testing the layout and content wise.
Also maybe put top X tips for fishing or preservating fish and also maybe seasonal guides to fish would be great. Like what fish you will see often during this time or their locations.
I;m a little confused on what your site is about though, is it to preserve marine life or which fish I can eat? I think the message is not clear.
Your blog/site is good..Especially the content..I just want to give a suggestion..It will be much better if you add related posts in the end of single post..You don't need to add manually..You can use plugins which available in wordpress plugins directory..And the sidebar looks empty..You can add useful widget like popular posts..It will useful for your blog's visitor..
HiMy very first thoughts when I looked at this tutorial was 'where's the video,' and you need to scroll down to the bottom to find it. So I guess my first point would be to put the learning objective at the top. 'show how to create a vector image of a tree, from a source photograph using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.' (I think it might also help the reader if you include the software version number. ) Then I'd put the video underneath the learning objective. I've never been a big fan of following written photoshop tutorials, as you have to so careful with your instructions and how they are interpreted. Another point would be that if it's an instruction tutorial then you need to instruct in clear, precise stages. For example stage 1 could be cut down to: a. Load your chosen image into photoshop by ................. If I didn't know how to do this I'd already be lost! So keep to the instructions and cut down on things like where you live and how many trees you wanted in your photo:)One more thing is that video tutorials are far easier to follow. However, some I've looked at in the Adobe forums make it difficult to follow when you're using a different version. The good ones make reference to previous versions. Hope that helps.
I'm not sure how I feel about your picture being at the top of the right sidebar. It's a good picture, but not everyone is going to want to see a big picture of your head on every page load. Maybe consider putting it at the bottom of the article in a kind of "about" section instead?
THis is kind of unrelated to your site design, but I noticed that your Facebook page URL is:
Which is kind of messy. If you go into the settings, you should be able to change it to something like:
Which is much easier for people to get to if they are typing it directly.
As far as content goes, here are a couple of suggestions.
Make the images BIGGER! Not necessarily bigger on the page, but when you click on the images (as they have links around them) the browser opens up the images, but they are VERY small. I would highly recommend installing a lightbox for your website so that when images are clicked, they open up larger on the same page.
Consider making the Software, Time taken, and Difficulty Level info at the top an unordered list. It might look a little better.
Although I just skimmed it, overall I think the tutorial is very well written. my biggest gripe is that the images are so small that I can't see what your menu settings, etc., are in Photoshop.
Hi,I tested your site on a HTC One and in Chrome and Firefox on my desktop.
Things I liked:1: The Page title, I knew immediately what you do and what I can find on your site2: The Illustrator photos looked good and were easy to read3: You break down your tutorials into steps, which makes them easy to follow and you even describe how easy or difficult they are. This is ideal blog content.4: The portfolio section is full of engaging content5: Your website is focused on one thing: Illustrator. You should be able to attract traffic in your niche quickly. Consider joining relevant LinkedIn and Google+ groups and promoting your site.
Things you could improve1: I'm not sure about the blue link text. I think your site has room for another colour.2: The logo is missing something e.g. colour, a strapline etc, a description.3: The contact us page would benefit from a photo of you4: Consider posting content on Dribbble and linking to it on your site.5: You need an About Me or Start here page. You should also have a "Best Of" section so I can find your favourite content quickly.6: The ads are too prominent (but that's a personal preference)
I liked your site and bookmarked some tutorials to follow. I wonder if you'd consider using video as video lends itself quite well to your type of work. You could read advice about how to use video on Chris Brogan's website. You could also take a look at what Lynda.com and Treehouse do and then put your own spin on it. If your site works, consider bundling up your content as an eBook and giving it away.
I hope this helps.
As stated before, your content is fine, its easy to follow and describes how to accomplish the task well enough. As far as the site goes visually it looks good but you really should have an about me section in which your picture is located. Also it would be nice to have a tab right at the top that has maybe a drop down of recent posts.
