People Burned dream interpretations
Dream Explanation
— (Companions of Allah's Prophet, upon whom be peace; Followers; Successors) Seeing Allah's blessed
and His righteous ones, or any of the early companions of Allah's Messenger (uwbp), whether such a companion is known or not in a dream represents blessings in one's life and denotes one's correct following of their example, and their advice or comments in one's dream must be heeded. To see oneself as one of such true ones, or to enter their circles in a dream means that one is following their example and enjoying or suffering similar trials to theirs, then he will triumph over his enemies. To see one of the companions living in a city in a dream also represents the joy, happiness, prosperity, and justice the inhabitants of such a city enjoy under the leadership of a righteous governor. (Also see Companions of the Prophet; Scholars; Serving; Shepherd)
Dream Explanation

Interpretation According to the Varying Conditions of
Dream Explanation

But if the observer of such a dream is wicked it suggests that he will commit excessive sins due to which he will be doomed to hell-fire May Allah, through His infinite mercy, save us from hell-fire, Ameen. Pillory means: a wooden board with holes for the head and hands in which petty offenders were formerly locked and exposed to public scorn.
Water to Drink Dream Explanation

Incident Dream Explanation

up to my ankles." The Shaikh replied: "Come near me, so I may tell you the meaning." Once the Shaikh took hold of the man's arm, he cried out to those who were present to catch the man and to call the police. After an investigation, it appeared that the man used to steal people's shoes at the entrance of the mosque, to which crime the man confessed, and
went to his house to claim their properties.

Musk Dream Explanation
— In a dream, musk represents a private charity, pregnancy, a profitable business, a valuable property, a farm, fruit trees, olive trees, or advanced knowledge. When associated with a deceased person, musk in a dream may mean that he is in paradise. If musk is
as incense in a dream, it means innovation, loss of money and respect, putting things in the wrong place, or serving a strong person for a fee. In a dream, musk also represents one's beloved, his servant, his son or a beautiful woman. If a thief sees himself carrying musk in a dream, it means that he will cease robbing
, for a sweet fragrance points to its carrier and exposes what he hides. Musk in a dream also means money, gold, comfort, glad tidings, good news, or innocence. The same interpretation is given to carnation, clove, nutmeg and other dark seeds, all of which mean triumph and happiness. Grinding them in a dream means receiving praises. Offering them whole in a dream means doing good to an ungrateful person. (Also see Amber; Anoint; Galia moschata)

Wrapping oneself with a blanket in a dream means marriage, comfort, peace, tranquillity and strength. Wrapping oneself with a red blanket in a dream means a fight because of a woman. If a blanket is stolen or
or taken away from someone in his dream, it means divorce or death of his wife.

— A door in a dream represents the guardian of the house. An open doors in a dream represents a source of income. The door of a house also represents the wife. If the appearance of one's door looks different from reality in a dream, it means changes in one's life. If it is broken or
in the dream, it means difficulties for the resident guardian of that house. If one sees a small door within the main entrance door in the dream, it means that he will infringe on the privacy of others bedroom. It also means that one's wife may have a secret affair, or that a betrayal may be uncovered in one's house. If one sees lions jumping at his door in a dream, it means that insolent
will pursue his wife. If one sees himself seeking a door which he couldn't find in a dream, it means indecision. Entering a house from its main door means triumph against one's opposition. If the door of one's house opens to the street in a dream, it means that what one earns will be of benefit to strangers rather than to his own household. The disappearing of a door in a dream means death of the head of that household. Passing through a small door into an open space means relief from difficulties. If one sees himself leaving his house from the main door into a spacious green garden in a dream, it means entering the realms of the hereafter. If one sees two ringlets or door knockers hanging at his door in a dream, it means indebtedness to two
who are demanding to be paid. If one sees fire burning his door in a dream, it means the death of his wife, or it may mean his failure to properly manage that household. The gates of a city represent a righteous governor. In a dream, the door of a house also represents the protection it houses behind it, including one's property, personal secrets and family. If the door is well built in a dream, it means protection of one's private life. Otherwise, whatever maybe seen through such a door means exposing one's private life. If one sees a carpenter building him a new door, this means glad tidings of health and wealth. If one sees himself unable to properly secure the closing of his door in a dream, it means difficulties caused by his wife. If one sees himself changing his door in a dream, it means moving into another house. If one sees himself entering his house and locking his door in a dream, it means protection against evil. (Also see Doorjamb; Door post)
Incident Dream Explanation
— True dreams also can be seen by unbelievers. It is related that Pharaoh once saw in a dream a fire that had ignited in Syria. This fire kept on expanding until it reached Egypt, where it
and destroyed every house and farm of the land. Pharaoh woke-up scared. He called every dream interpreter in the land and asked them to explain the meaning of his dream. One of the interpreters said: "If your dream is true, it means that a descendent from the family of Jacob will be born, who will bring about your destruction and that of Egypt. "Immediately, Pharaoh ordered his soldiers to kill every newborn in the land. Despite all of Pharaoh's precautions, Moses was born in God's protection and fulfilled God's Will. God Almighty commanded the mother of Moses by inspiration: "Behold! We told to thy mother, by inspiration: '"Place the child into the chest, and throw the chest into the river. The river will cast him up to the bank, and he will be taken up by one who is an enemy to Me, and an enemy to him."' (Qur'an 20:39)
Lamp stand Dream Explanation
— In a dream, a lamp stand represent humankind and their characteristics. The lamp itself represents one's soul, the oil represents one's blood, and the wick represents his temperature. Once the wick is used up, and the oil is
in the dream, it means one's death. If one sees the wick in good condition, and the oil clean and radiant in the dream, it means that he will enjoy a life of purity and happiness. If the wick is black and the oil is murky in the dream, it means experiencing a wretched life. If the stand itself has some deficiencies in the dream, it means an illness in one's body. If the stand is strong and clean, it means that one's body and blood are free from illness. A broken lamp stand in a dream represents a terminal illness. (Also see Lamp; Wick)
Coal Dream Explanation
— (Carbonize; Charcoal; Fuel) Burning coal in a dream means immediate earnings or a ready to fill order for one's merchandise.

Seeing burning coal in a dream also means seeking knowledge and wisdom. Coal in a dream also represents an evil and a dangerous person, or it could mean tainted money, unlawful earnings or receiving a grant from someone in the government. Burning coal in a dream also denotes someone who is unjustly suffering from hardships and trials or someone who's property is unjustly confiscated. Consumed or
up coal in a dream means the same thing as ashes and signifies falsehood. Having large cuts of coal when one needs small pieces in a dream means worries, distress and concerns, while having fine crushed coal when one needs chunks to light a fire in a dream means diminishing of one's wealth . Seeing coal or charcoal in a dream also could mean increase or rejuvenation of one's sexual desires. Seeing coal in the winter in a dream means money. Fuel for the fire in a dream means corruption.

Hello There,
I have some problem with paste to original coordinate that it appears as grey in right click as shown in attached file but it can paste from ribbon.
Any help will be appreciate.
Thank you.
Happens to me in both 2011 and 2012 versions - no known fix.
I put the command on a toolbar (could try quick access) then its always available
I'm wblock, insert guy.
I think though, when I have used it, it greyed out when I specified a base point. It worked if I only copied and pasted to original coords.
I just tried it both ways (copy and copy w/ basepoint) and it made no difference. I was able to paste to original coordinates in both cases so I don't think that may be the cause. I have seen this as well and whenever I see it I just use the command off the ribbon.
If I remember correctly, when I investigated this at one point, the paste to original coordinates command on the right click menu in the CUI had an extra hot key (you know, those underlined letters in a menu) and when I removed that it worked correctly. It's been a while so I may have be mistaken.
I figered out the solution try to select any object even autocad or civil object and right click and clipboard and then you will get paste to original cooridinate appears and you can use it.
If anyone get this solution please tell me.
Thank you.
Dear Autodesk,
It has gone on way too long. This is incredibly annoying!
Sincerely, CAD users everywhere.
I have seen this issue when trying to paste into the same drawing of one with the same name, but only then. Oddly, "paste" will work and ask you for coordinates.
Conan Witzel
I'm sure many users have noticed patterns and have a few work-arounds. It should just work.
My work around was to make an alias command. The command line command is PASTEORIG so just make a short one or two letter combination and it makes the task pretty quick. So now I use "Ctrl C" to copy and "PO" to paste to original coordinates.
Are you pasting from one file to another or within the same file? When I Paste to Original Coordinates within the same file it does not work. I usually copy everything using Copy with Base Point around 0,0 and use the Paste then type 0,0. I guess you could setup a button to manually Paste around 0,0.

Many people have asked me what direction I was going in career-wise and to be honest I just wanted to wait and choose what felt right for me. I have done that and now it is time to share…
I have taken a part-time associate position with SEOmoz and will be helping out with reviewing and editing for YouMoz. I am very excited to work with Moz because, well, it is Moz. More importantly, they are great people as a whole. I have always had a deep respect for Rand and I have never known a Mozzer I didn't like, a lot. So, if you are considering writing for YouMoz I will be around!
As many of you know I left Search Engine Journal in November and recently I stepped back in as temporary editor until they could find a new editor and set up their advisory board. I will be there for awhile longer.
In December I started working with CopyPressed as an associate editor and I write for the site as well. Dave Snyder is a man I respect and trust and I am thrilled to be a part of CopyPress.
In November I also started writing and editing for Authority Labs. You may notice a theme here, but the guys at AL are good people; I trust them as well and am honored to be involved with their company.
Trust is really an important part of any job for me.
[Obviously I am looking for really good writers that live and breathe this industry for the sites I work with; contact me:)]
A Career Path Change
I still have some clients, but they are a select few. What I found at Search Engine Journal (SEJ) is that I love the community part of this industry. I enjoy it greatly and have enjoyed meeting so many intelligent and wonderful people in the past 14 months. I am good at the community aspect of the job and also the editing aspect and as you can see above I am now working with three companies doing what I enjoy.
I also have been a blogger/writer for a long time and I know what it takes to write for someone, so I appreciate writers. I think that is why the large group of writers I worked with at SEJ and I got along so well. I appreciated them and I supported them (and I still will if they need anything). I definitely know what it takes to run a large blog with a large community, so at this point my future is heading in the editing/community management direction.
Let Me Say Thank You
There are many, many people out there that have supported me and been great friends in the past few years. I don't have to call them out by name, because they know who they are. Just an FYI, I am a loyal person and I don't forget support I have been given. Thank you for supporting me.
I also need to thank those people I don't speak with all the time, but have supported me anyway. Those are the people that keep me going day after day, the industry folk and my Twitter followers. They keep me on a good path all the time. I appreciate that and that support is not disregarded, but cherished.
Lastly, thank you to everyone that supported me during my time at SEJ. I will never forget it.
So there it is…
There is my news for the day. I thank everyone that has been extra supportive in the past month or two. I needed it and I appreciate it. I am around on Twitter @SEOAware. Contact me anytime and I am hoping for a happy and productive 2013 for everyone in this industry. God bless! and –> #SaveTheTigers #SaveBigCats

Christmas Lights.
Walking on lonely streets at night, burning lights flash on my eyes, vacillating, shyly, the whole dark hours preceding day time. Everywhere places are empty and the atmosphere it's so full of false good feelings but night these days are quite and hide the scars of misery from people, inside their homes. I can see happy families and their good intentions. Shortest "good intentions" than Christmas could last. And I can also see Christmas lights.
Many, and sad, Christmas lights.
I can feel the night wind against my skin, and its sad melody comes with crying voices through the city. Dark, it's death this time hidden by alerting moon, covered by smooth sky of Christmas,
"The date of the Jesus' born"
As you all were always saying to me, but don't worry about it, my blood wetting my own body and the thin trace of mind heath coupled with some pain attempting me with hallucinations of a last sleeping moment, it's all my way to celebrate it.
Hallucinations of the reality, by the way.
Now, I can everything understand, now I can for everything find a reason and now I can see the actually why, I realize I've been doing all these years long about that all: Nothing. But now it's too late night and the boy that wears night camouflaged vest come for completing his habitual work. Sad and monotone activity of sending our lives to a beyond.
Outside there, in the wild, still I wander through empty nights but my visions now become darker, as much as my conscious loses itself away and the last clap, as of a thunder echo inside head. Darkness come, and death reign now, there's nothing I can do.
Sad colorful lights still blinking silently on this happy night, as if nothing sad have ever happened. So, as always.
Merry Christmas.

Reviews for Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread
Sort By :
"Followed recipe and it was fantastic."
"If you love cinnamon this is for you"
"I've made this bread three times in the last week. I added 1 tsp. vanilla and 1/2 tsp. baking powder and increased the salt to 1 tsp. It's wonderful!"
"Delicious! My husband loves it. Followed recipe exactly. The only thing I had trouble with was the swirl part. So I just mixed the remaining sugar and cinnamon together with the dough in same bowl. Also instead of 3 tsp cinnamon I put 5 tsp cinnamon in. Also had to cook it the full 50 minutes. Will definitely make again."
"I like this very much however I am a gluten free cook so I added a few things to enhance this bread. Instead of vegetable oil I use coconut oil. I used a gluten free flower and I added walnuts, raisins, raw coconut and for my daughter dark chocolate chips. Today I will try stevia instead of my organic sugar. Great Morning Bread! Have fun with it and thanks for the good recipe."

La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Cigars
La Flor Dominicana Air Bender
The La Flor Dominicana Air Bender is a hot new line from the famed cigar man Litto Gomez. It was named one of the Top 25 Cigars of 2010 by Cigar Aficionado Magazine coming in as the #10 cigar of the year. That certainly is one major accomplishment. The binder and filler are from the Dominican Republic and the wrapper is a Habano seed Ecuadoran leaf.
This is one of those cigars that packs a walloping punch of power but also backs up that power punch with a great flavor profile. Consider this an middle of the road stick. Not for the La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero guys but also not for the new cigar smoker. This is a great stick for the experienced medium body medium flavor guy who is looking for just a little bit more. Pick one up and smoke it slow. Too fast and you lose all the flavors in the harshness. The La Flor Dominicana Air Bender is a winner, grab the Chisel size to experience something completely different.

On October 6, Sallie Krawcheck appeared on CNBC to say that she is "very much focused" on her job running Bank of America's wealth management unit. According to the Post, this SKraw's way of "going public with her ambitions to run the bank." A couple days later, the paper claimed this (fake) campaign for Lewis's job somehow "got a big boost," when shareholder Jonathan Finger stated that the board should pick an outsider to run the bank, despite the fact that The Kraw currently works on the inside. So you see everything was chugging along nicely and girlfriend probably would've gotten the gig she was so desperately and publicly begging for and them bam!
Sallie Krawcheck
Obviously the gut goes with Citi or Bank of America, but no! So this is going to be a tough one. According to the Kraw, who spoke Wednesday night at the Manhattan's Museum of American Finance, before she took her current gig at as head of wealth management at BAC, she was considering a position at another firm (which she wouldn't name but described as "troubled"). She was thisclose to signing with them and, truth be told, would've never before considered answering to Charlotte. But a series of hints from the universe that included a fractured jaw gave SK a moment's pause and ultimately drove her into the arms of this guy [motions to Ken Lewis passed out over a toilet seat].
The first was that she overslept the morning of the initial interview, and almost missed her flight. And she'd never overslept in her life! She didn't have enough time to shower, or even take her PJs off (WTF?) before putting her pantsuit but whatever. SKraw does remember thinking to herself, "this doesn't feel very good," but NBD. Water off a duck's back. The meeting went well, and she scored a follow-up, this time in New York. The next time, things started out more auspiciously.
This was a beautiful spring day. Wearing a new suit and new shoes, she recalled, "I couldn't have been feeling more pleased with myself."
So she's walking, she's walking, she's checking out her reflection of the old Bear building, thinking to herself, "Huh, I wonder Jimmy Cayne is up to these days? How weird was it that time he tried to pinch my ass? And what a fine ass it is, amiright? Get a load of that thi–" and BOOM! Girlfriend's heel gets caught in the crack of a sidewalk and she is down for the count. And I'm not talking a little scrape of the knees fall, I'm talking Sallie Krawcheck, missing a tooth.
Earlier this week, the Post announced Sallie Krawcheck's intent to be named Bank of America CEO, based on the statement she made to CNBC that she's "fully engaged" in her gig as head of wealth management. SK has yet to come out and admit "you got me," and Charlie Gasparino has already thrown in his two cents to say that "this broad" would be a terrible choice for the job, but fuck that noise, the Post is going full speed ahead on this one. Krawcheck wants this thing, bad. You might as well be blind if you can't see that. Today they claim that the Kraw's "campaign" for Bank of America's top job "may have gotten a big boost."
Doubtful! Oh, but not so, says the the Post, claiming that not only does SK want the job, but that she "went public with her ambitions to run the bank" yesterday on CNBC. Those of you who saw the appearance live might be wondering when exactly Krawcheck revealed her plot to take over Bank of America. Were you in the bathroom at the time? Was the TV on mute? Were you momentarily distracted by Caruso and Cabrera? Apparently, according to the paper, it was when the Kraw made the statement that she's "very much focused" on what she's doing running BofA's wealth-management unit. If that doesn't say "Krawcheck for CEO 2010," the Post don't know what does. Confused? Let us assist you in following the giant leaps in logic.

Scientists Discover Possible New Dwarf Planet
Thursday, March 27, 2014
(Undated) -- Those still mourning Pluto are in luck, there may be another planet in our solar system. Scientists announced the discovery today of an object orbiting the sun beyond what was thought to be the boundaries of our solar system. The possible dwarf planet doesn't have a catchy name like Pluto or Uranus, but instead is called 2012 VP113. It's about 80 times farther from the sun than Earth and orbits the sun about every 42-hundred years. Details of the finding will be published in the journal "Nature."

My sister and I deny the existence of this movie.
Please do not watch it, it'll only ruin your memory of the original
Pocahontas. The animation is sub-par and the musical numbers are
dreadful. I sat there asking myself why characters in the movie
suddenly burst into song, which is not something that you are supposed
to do while watching a musical. It's supposed to be a seamless
transition which in this movie, it definitely is not. The dialogue is
silly and the movie contains absolutely none of the magic and romance
found in the first movie. I wish I could unwatch this movie, so if you
have not yet seen it, count your blessings and forget it exists.
A 0 out of 10.
As most animated sequels, one cannot expect much from the plotline, the music, or the animation. But, even with this in mind, I found Pocahontas 2, although having its moments, was quite disappointing, and a major contradiction to the original feature film. Most of the characters were two dimensional, and the depth and feeling of the first film was non-existent. The movie's short length also prevented the movie from going any further and explaining all the abrupt changes in character, especially the romance between Pocahontas and John Smith, as well as between Pocahontas and John Rolfe. For anyone who liked the original film, the sequel could be hazardous to your health.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I wish I'd never watched the Pocahontas sequel. Seriously. I've watched
most of the Disney sequels, and while, yes, most of them are awful
(though there are some rare exceptions - Bambi II is adorable), but
that movie is just...beyond awful.
You can't mess with history in the original movie and then change your
mind and try to set it right in a direct-to-video sequel.
Yes, in reality she ended up with John Rolfe, but -bleep- reality. I
don't want reality. When I sit down to watch a Disney movie I want to
get lost in a world where every princess gets her (ORIGINAL) Disney
hero. I REALLY don't like new dudes with ZERO personality coming in and
nabbing the princess just because "that's how it REALLY happened".
Likewise, when I read the original "The Little Mermaid" by the great
Hans Christan Anderson I adore the tragic ending, but when I'm watching
Disney I wouldn't want to see Ariel go ahead and toy with the idea of
making a Prince-Kebab out of Eric. Do you follow? Yes, John Smith was
far older and Pocahontas was years shy of puberty. I know in reality
their relationship was platonic, but dude, making Disney!Smith out to
be a complete arse just so that they could justify her waltzing off
with Rolfe was a crappy move.
Who have we to thank for this? The history buffs who -beeped- and
moaned when the original was released. I wonder if the same history
buffs -beeped- and moaned when Ariel didn't die at the end of "The
Little Mermaid".
I digress.
What happened to "I'd rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years
without knowing you"? What happened to "no matter what happens, I'll
always be with you, forever"?
"We walked the same path once. Now I know where I belong."
Just stamp on my childhood a little more, Disney. :(
There are enough horrendously complex and painful things in the real
world without kids movies (yes, I do know that's what they are) getting
corrupted by "how things REALLY are". Little girls will soon realise
that not everybody gets their prince charming. Do we really have to let
them in on this early?
Thank goodness "The Little Mermaid III" is going to be the last
direct-to-vid sequel.
Including having this piece of garbage in the house. I thought I'd seen the worst of Disney crap with the Beauty and the Beast sequel, but I was wrong. This is much worse. The dialogue is unbelievable - would anyone in the 17th century have talked about "respecting my culture" the way this thoroughly PC Pocahontas does? The cartooning is dreadful - James I is portrayed as a ninny, who makes the old Bugs Bunny parody of Charles Laughton as Nero look like a Holbein portrait. There's some silly "My Fair Lady" plot tossed in, complete with historically nowhere costuming. But the worst thing is the music. It's smeared on everything, like a layer of cheap paint, and it is all completely pointless. This movie gives rise to the question, fatal for any musical, "What is this music here FOR?" In a good musical, the music and songs are supposed to add layers of meaning that mere spoken dialogue can't do - sort of like reaching for another medium to convey more than you can do with words. But in this, the music is just stuck on there because - well, because this is a Disney film, and that's what Disney films DO. It goes on and on - half the time I think they put in songs because a song will take up 3 or 4 minutes, and will use up more time than a spoken line. The dialogue seemed to be tiny little bridges between one ghastly song after another. And everything was a cliche - the chorus was always shouting, the English were always singing some jiggity-jiggity-jig song and Pocahontas was forever warbling long, flowing ballads. The whole thing is a mess.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Pocahontas 1 was and still is my very favorite Disney cartoon and one
of my favorite movies ever - a bit more adult than other Disney works,
especially due to its most beautiful love story - Pocahontas and John
For those who know the real story of Pocahontas it is clear that the
cartoon was simply inspired by the real story: it has never been proved
she had any romantic involvement with John Smith, John Smith did have
to leave the land due to an injury, then she thought he was dead,
married John Rolfe, had a son with him and only THEN went to England,
where she fell ill with smallpox and died, never seeing her home again.
So Disney decided not to make speculations on the story but make it
more or less how it really was.. omitting the marrying and having a
child part..
So here is what I can tell you Disney: I do not CARE how it was in
reality. I wanted to see how John Smith and Pocahontas get together
No.. They decided to follow reality. So their task was to make
Pocahontas' choice for a new boyfriend justified. So they decided to
show off Smith as a complete moron, a terribly selfish Narcissus, who
does not approve of her ideas, does not understand and does not support
her. The epic moment was the last part when he says "I got a ship" and
then corrects I to we - and this is the moment when Pocahontas realizes
that John Rolfe is better: he was the one who always believed in her.
Just discard the "love you forever" part from the ORIGINAL movie. Well,
thank you Disney for killing the best fictional couple for the sake of
making it look historical.
I wish I never watched it. I will try to erase this heresy from my
I saw Pocahontas when I was little and to this day it is still my
favourite Disney film. So when I saw Pocahontas II on the TV, I had to
see it. Now I wish I hadn't.
The animation is so much poorer, the plot is okay but a bit pointless,
and the songs and music is terrible. It's a disgrace for this to be
called Pocahontas II in my opinion. They didn't even fully revive
Pocahontas's personality for this film, as soon as you see her she acts
much different than she did in the original but with the same basic
values. The script undoes everything that Pocahontas did and completely
changes the characters.
They should have left it at the end of Pocahontas instead of making
such a terrible film. I prefer to think of the whole Pocahontas story
ending at the end of the first film. If you loved the Pocahontas story
and do not want to be disappointed by a poor follow-up that cannot
possibly match the splendour of the original, then avoid this movie at
all costs! They should attach a warning label saying "Watch at your own
risk" in my opinion.
Pocahontas (the original) is the best Disney movie I've ever seen. I saw this sequel with little expectations just to know how the story went on. But I regretted when I saw it. First, the cartoons are so bad-looking that you hardly recognize the characters. I expected the music to make you feel as in the first movie. But it's awful (they changed the composers) and it's just to make the movie longer. It doesn't even make you laugh and the plot is the worst aspect of the movie. Pocahontas forgets Smith in one second and starts a romance with John Rolfe. It's no chemistry between them, and you keep all the film angry with them. Then John Smith returns, but Pocahontas ¡prefers Rolfe! Don't mind if I told you the end because you won't wait to see it. It ruined the first one, even it's so great.
This is by far the worst Disney film in a raft of pointless remakes and
sequels which Disney chucked out in the late 90s. The animation would be a
disgrace to a seventies TV cartoon. As for the art direction...
One example of this travisty will suffice. When P arrives in London, the
artists manage to mix up Medieval, Tudor, Stuart and Regency period dress
all in one seen. Oh, and London has Gas Lights...
The horror, the horror!
x___X Why did I ruin everything I knew when I watched this today?! This was absurd! They made John Smith out to be the a-hole! That's totally out-of-character, compared to the first movie. Pocahontas (in Disney la-la land) would have definitely stayed with John Smith when she found out that he was alive. And I agree with everyone else on the general aspects of the movie--the music wasn't all that great, the animation was less than desired... I'm going to watch the original Pocahontas for the fourth time this week. Because even though I watched it three times straight, I can't even remember it. THIS MOVIE SUCKED. Sorry Disney. I call for a re-remake!
I know a lot of people have been saying that children don't care about
history. That's not always the case. I remember as a nine year old
being disappointed in the original because of a few historical
inaccuracies...mainly that Pocahontas was not a buxom 18 year old when
the English arrived. But this movie was much worse. Whereas the
original songs were lovely and stuck in your mind, these were entirely
forgettable and made me cringe most times. As did the characterization
of most of the people in the movie. Ghastly.
Children care about what they choose to care about, and I'm sure there
are some out there right now shaking their heads at this wreck of a

Well, I discovered what you probably already know: Glass is very difficult to photograph! I played with the color on the martini glass quite a bit, but it's still way off. The paint is called Mauve, and it's not the rather bright purple I see on my screen. Also, the dots aren't blue — they're white.
As for the plate, some of the petals look the way they actually do. :-) But the center doesn't at all. It's stippled, a mixture of black, brown, and touches of gold. Not nearly as solid (with gaps) as it looks in this picture. The glass was the first thing I did. Trust me, it looks better in real life! But even so, it's not quite what I had in mind. I also did one in navy blue and one in burgundy. None are as decorated as I would like, nor as symmetrical. But they're interesting. :-) The plate was a dollar store purchase. Nice looking glass, made in the USA. Figuring out what to paint on it was a no-brainer. And in case you can't tell from the photo, the paint is on the bottom (back) of the plate. Thanks for letting me share! Susan |

Oh, I love the sunflower plate--that's one of my favorite flowers. I've never used the glass paints, but I heard that they are harder to use than regular acrylics. I've even seen special brushes for the glass painting. Did you find it harder? Yes, it is hard to get true colors sometimes when we take pics of things. Both of these look really nice though. TFS Luvs |
Luvs, it's a case of Ignorance is Bliss. I haven't had a paintbrush in my hand in a very long time, so I really had little to compare it to. I did read three books on the subject first, and that gave me somewhat of an idea what to expect. My favorite, however (Painting Glass, by Moira Neal and Lynda Howarth), used mostly Pebeo's Porcelaine 150, which was not available to me locally. I found it online, but it was expensive, and so I went with what I could get at Michael's and AC Moore. The acid test will come when I attempt to paint an actual picture of something onto glass, rather than a design. I suspect that will be a lot harder. But this undertaking has inspired a lot of ideas for Christmas gifts, so I'll keep trying. Thanks for your comments! Susan |
Susan~ I love that plate! It looks awesome. I've never used the glass paints, but I can see how beautifully they would catch the light. Great price at the $1 store too and now you have a wonderful piece. Even if the color is off on the glass picture, I think it looks very pretty. Did you tape it off to make the pattern? All you need to add is a beaded ring to the bottom in a co-ordinating color. I've just started learning how to make jewelry so I've got it on the brain. ha I have a window that I want to try to do a stained glass look on, but I've been too chicken to try it. My SIL bought an inexpensive picture frame and painted a cute little sign for me on the glass part with glass paint. She just taped the pattern she wanted to use on the back and filled in the blanks. It came out really cute. She left out the paper and the backing so it looks like a pretty framed suncatcher. I guess that would be an inexpensive way to practice. Well, keep it up and please share any other projects you do. Your first ones turned out terrific! ~Anj |
Thanks, Anj. Yes, I taped off the martini glass. The original instructions used a wine glass and rubber bands, but I found the rubber bands didn't stay in place on the martini glasses. |

Eclipses and New Moons

Do we ever have a new moon except in an eclipse?
We have a new moon every 28 days. Look on some calendars and you should see the days when the new moon is to be seen. As the moon starts to come around the earth so its edge to the sun is just visible we see a new moon. Why don't you watch the moon at the same time each night for a month or so and see if you can record how it looks each day and figure out when it changes and how fast it goes around.

Hi all,
I had a store-bought onion that had sprouted, so I decided to pot it, just for fun. It has quickly shot up and is nearing a foot of growth (on the largest of several stalks) in perhaps a little over a week. After a short internet search, this doesn't seem to be a common method of planting onion. Does anyone have any experience with this? What should I expect? Can I harvest anything from it? Regardless, it's a nice friend for my amaryllis. :) Thanks,

You can expect the inner core stem to develop into one or more usable scallions and over time form another bulb(s). However, the tendency is for the tuber to begin rotting and the bulb formed is usually woody in texture and strong flavored. |
- Posted by jeremysobczak (My Page) on Thu, Nov 15, 07 at 14:38
Anything I can do to prevent it from rotting? Water sparingly? |
- Posted by bmoser z6PA (email@example.com) on Thu, Nov 15, 07 at 16:20
Water is usually involved but the rotting begins in the onion meat as it shrivels. I can't tell you that this will work the way you would like but aside from the decaying bulb, onions are very transplant hardy plants. I would pull the plant at the point when the bulb softens and remove the outer bulb, being careful to maintain the core thru the rootmass. Then replant that core. You can do a few seemingly drastic steps of pruming both the excess roots and the green growing top from the plant without harming the plant. You would only take these steps if you wanted to but I shear roots (once at transplanting)and tops (2-3 times during seedling growth leaving 2-3" of green top) on seedling plants to make transplanting of a stockier stemmed seedling easier. I just mention this so that you won't hesitate to lop the top ~6" off you plant and dice it up in your salad. The plant should just send up more growth from the center core each time. |
The other possibility is that it will send up a hollow stalk and, if it gets enough light, will flower. And then die. Planting scallions will generally get you either an onion or more scallions. Planting an onion generally doesn't get you another onion - just a flower (and not a very exciting one). Try this question on the allium forum. |

U-Speak Tuesday |
The goal of Toastmasters clubs is to practice and learn public speaking, as well as leadership skills. At a typical meeting a few of our members will present a prepared speech. Other members will then give a constructive and motivating evaluation - this is an art nearly as difficult as doing the speech. Finally there is a fun session of improvised speaking, where everybody can get a chance. We take care to always have a friendly and motivating atmosphere, a safe environment in which our members can afford to fail. That means we can try "risky" and "scary" things we wouldn't do easily elsewhere. After our meetings, we continue downstairs with some drinks in the bar.
Visit Us! We nearly always welcome a few guests. You may contact us before, but not necessarily.

Deep Space Darkness
Name: Casey Status: other Grade: other Location: NV Country: N/A Date: N/A
When in deep space, beyond the point at which the sun's light is significant, are objects easily visible? For instance, how visible would a passing object be if the only light on it are the stars? Would this be similar to being on earth at night, during a new moon?
Dear Casey,
Without any sunlight, an object will be virtually black and invisible. It is not likely that you would see it alt all.
David Levy
One needs to generalize the "visible" to include wavelengths (or equivalently, frequency) of electromagnetic radiation outside the very narrow range (about 400 to 700 nanometers) that the human eye can see. Every object gives off radiation whose frequency distribution depends upon its temperature -- so called "black body radiation". For "hot" objects such as stars, this is approximately what produces their "brightness". An object that is too cool to radiate energy due to its temperature, can reflect radiation that falls upon it. The obvious examples being the moon and planets that reflect sunlight. The amount of radiation emitted will depend upon what is between the source and the observer. So an intervening object can cause the amount of energy that can be detected to vary. An eclipse of the moon is a classic example of the Earth blocking radiant energy from the Sun from reflecting off the Moon. There are other objects that may be faint, or even invisible, between 400 and 700 nanometers (the nominal visible range) but may be more intense at greater wavelengths. The wavelength of radiation is also influenced by the Doppler shift. For distant objects that are moving away from us rapidly, this can distort the wavelengths that are in the visible region. The bottom line is that your question is not easy to give a short simple answer because there are a lot of factors that come into play. Regards,
Vince Calder

Health Information
Topic Contents
Drug Information
Carbidopa is used together with the drug levodopa to reduce symptoms of Parkinson's disease .
Common brand names:
LodosynSummary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Vitamin B3
A study in animals has found that carbidopa inhibits an enzyme involved in the synthesis of niacin in the body.1 In addition, there is evidence that niacin synthesis is decreased in people taking carbidopa and other drugs in its class,2 raising the concern that people taking these drugs could be at risk of niacin deficiency, even if not frankly deficient. Further studies will be required determine if niacin supplementation is appropriate in people taking carbidopa.
The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
Reduce Side Effects
Support Medicine
Vitamin C
A combination of levodopa/carbidopa and vitamin C may be useful for people with Parkinson's disease whose motor complications are not effectively managed with conventional drug treatment. This combination was administered to people with Parkinson's disease for 16.8 months in an unblinded, uncontrolled study.3 The researchers reported that participants who completed the study experienced substantial increases in the number of hours with good functional capacity and were able to reduce their intake of other anti-Parkinsonian drugs. However, 62% of the participants withdrew from the study, citing difficulty in performing voluntary movements as the main reason. Until more research is performed, this drug-nutrient combination must be viewed as preliminary.
The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
Reduces Effectiveness
Iron supplements taken with carbidopa may interfere with the action of the drug.4
Potential Negative Interaction
Explanation Required
5-HTP and carbidopa have been reported to improve intention myoclonus (a neuromuscular disorder) in some human cases but not others.5 , 6 , 7 Several cases of scleroderma-like illness have been reported in patients using carbidopa and 5-HTP for intention myoclonus.8 , 9 , 10
Vitamin B6
Test tube,11 animal,12 and preliminary human studies13 suggest that carbidopa may cause depletion of vitamin B6. However, the use of carbidopa with levodopa reduces the vitamin B6-depleting effects of levodopa.14 More research is needed to determine whether vitamin B6 supplementation is advisable when taking carbidopa.

A site such as Stack Overflow is only as good as its contributions. There have been a number of discussions regarding the quality of contributions, which caused me to spend some time reflecting on my own personal experiences with the site and community. This brought back memories of my own experiences at being on the low side of the quality fence while conversing face to face in places where I did not speak the local language.
I'm sharing this not just to provide advice and insight, but also to show why having users that are willing to help people become better communicators is essential to maintain the quality of a growing community.
The background
About two and a half years ago, I finally got up the nerve to become a registered user on Stack Overflow and start participating by asking and answering questions. I had been lurking for a while – I found Stack Overflow through some obscure searches and learned about the buzz Jeff and Joel were building around it later. The first thing that struck me was how intimidating the site really was.
It wasn't all of the numbers, arrows, tags and buttons. Most of that stuff instantly made sense to me. What intimidated me the most out of everything was the sheer quality of the questions and answers there. If I was going to make any use out of this resource, I would need to dust off my writing skills and work on my problem a little harder so I could really show people where I was stuck.
My first few attempts went over like a lead balloon, but I quickly caught on. I could now pick the brains of people who had been working with C much longer than me, and build up my own reputation by answering questions that I could. It was helpful, it was fun and I was hooked. I remember thinking to myself "How do they keep the quality bar so high here?", coming from a mess of forums the difference was absolutely amazing.
The problem
Of all the problems I postulated regarding issues that Stack Overflow might have once it became a huge success, quality of content was never one of them. I was certain that things like SPAM, edit wars, playground fights and rage quits would summarize the day to day problems of the site. I wasn't the only one that was curious, most of the other regular users also wondered how this new system would handle the influx that we all knew was coming.
I could not have been more wrong, quality has turned out to be the chief problem. This isn't to say that nothing is being done about it. There are now measures in place that help keep out stuff like this:
i am gr8 @ php but i cant get this form 2 work [link]
ne1 kno why?
plz help me dis is URGENT ………………
The above, of course is simply a satirical meta example. Even as I wrote this over the past week, the system has been improved to help keep the quality bar as high as it was when the site first started. Still, filters can't be expected to be a single magical cure.
Going back to my original experience with Stack Overflow, if I had seen questions like that upon arrival I probably would have cursed Google for leading me into yet another pile of smoldering goat vomit and been on my way. Or, even worse, if the bar was really low I might not have tried as hard to get better at interacting with my peers. Essentially, a large volume of low quality questions and answers equates to a big fat Mr. Yuck sticker on the front page of the site, deterring the very experts that can give fantastic answers:
Fortunately, the river of questions that drive the community bat shit crap crazy has dried to a relatively slow flowing creek. The development team takes quality very seriously, as do site moderators and the majority of the Stack Overflow community. Coming back to my opening thoughts, there are things that people who don't have magical moderation tools can do as well.
What you can do
The first thing to do is identify the type of person you are dealing with. This is the most important step, as it will prevent you from wasting your time on mentoring someone who isn't going to benefit from it. Generally, there are four categories:
- Help vampire.
- Struggling with English.
- Lazy l33t speaking idiot.
- The person who thinks that because they know what they're working on, you will too.
I'm not negating the fact that despite best efforts, many new users can't seem to format code samples, avoid salutations or tag correctly. Those problems are common when using any kind of new system like Stack Overflow. The way Stack Overflow works isn't new to us, but it is new to a lot of people.
I'm discussing, in detail, how to identify users that can be helped beyond pointers on how formatting works, vs the people who are never going to improve.
Tough love is the key to dealing with every kind above.
Dealing with a help vampire
As many of us know, the best way to deal with a help vampire is to completely ignore them. While that might sound harsh, that is the only way to keep them from sucking the blood out of your community while forcing them to take more initiative and become a better communicator. Letting a help vampire sink its teeth into your veins is like loaning a heroin addict money to get their next fix. Do everyone including the vampire a favor, don't enable them.
English as a second language
One of the interesting aspects of programming Q&A is that almost every programmer speaks at least a bit of English. They must, most of the material we study in order to learn is written in English. I have a bit of first hand experience with how it feels to not be able to communicate, and I'm a native English speaker. When I arrived in The Philippines, I quickly realized that Tagalog was the tool I needed in order to get even the basic things done, like buying groceries or telling a Taxi where I wanted to go. There I was, a reasonably articulate human being effectively cut off from the people who could help me because I could not communicate.
All of a sudden, I was 'that guy', the weird one who can't even speak the language.
I knew that I'd be perceived as lazy and perhaps even unintelligent if I didn't do something. What did I do? I learned. I'm by no means fluent, but I'm able to converse sufficiently enough for most situations. I learned over time, because learning a new language takes time.
When you encounter people that are putting in obvious research and effort into their contributions but struggle with English, help them by editing as much as you can. Total immersion is indeed the best way to learn a new language, being able to view a side by side diff of what you said vs. what you probably meant to say is a great help.
If you find that a person isn't putting much effort into improving their English skills over time, that they are content to be 'that guy', that they're quite happy to just let other people clean up their posts – you're dealing with a help vampire. Follow that procedure.
Lazy l33t speaking idiots
Typically, these people aren't idiots, they are just immature and haven't learned how to successfully engage their peers. Immaturity also makes people do odd things like treating every single message that they write as if it were a text message. Tough love in this case is as simple as a comment:
If you want my help, please show some effort by paying attention to common punctuation and grammar. You're asking help from professionals, please address us like professionals.
Some people will instantly 'get it', some people never will. You'll see a change quickly, if there is going to be one. The undesired reaction is a protest from the person asking if the grammar police work here, or 10 other reasons why they shouldn't have to spend the few seconds it would take to tap a few more keys. If you see that, you're in the midst of a help vampire – walk away.
The person who thinks the world has ESP
When you really need help, there's a good chance that you also feel an extremely heightened sense of urgency. You need to get something done, you can't seem to fix it and pressure is building up. During this unfortunate period of adrenalyn intoxication, you mistakenly believe that the world can read your mind and understands the full context of your situation. Given that, why would you need to explain it? A good example of this is:
I'm getting a strange error from my foolib implementation, which is 1234. I've gone through everything and don't understand why that is. Here's my code that's calling foolib:
Foolib? Huh? Did you forget that you wrote it and we have absolutely no idea what it is or what it does? Don't be too hard on these people.
