Better care for patients with atrial fibrillation is the goal of newly updated treatment guidelines for doctors, based on the most recent research and clinical evidence. Working together, several leading heart groups have agreed on the need to update afib patient treatment.
An estimated 2.7 to 6.1 million people in the United States have atrial fibrillation — an irregular heart rate that can lead to blood clots, stroke, and heart failure — and could benefit from this update in patient care.
Changes to Expect
Four afib assessment and treatment changes patients will see are:
- Improved blood-thinning drugs to prevent stroke-causing blood clots
- Less aspirin use
- More use of ablation — a procedure that burns or freezes a portion of the heart to restore normal heartbeat rhythm
- Better afib risk assessment using a new, more complex risk calculator
Safer Blood-Thinning Drugs
New drug options prevent blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation and are alternatives to the previous mainstay of treatment, warfarin (Coumadin). Warfarin carries a risk of bleeding in the brain, and patients must have frequent blood monitoring and stick to a restricted diet, which can be difficult. This is because warfarin interacts with vitamin K — found in leafy greens and other foods.
The newer medications are dabigatran (Pradaxa), rivaroxaban (Xarelto), and apixaban (Eliquis) — which work by preventing pooled blood in the heart from clotting. Unlike warfarin, the newer drugs are thought to be safer and easier for patients to use.
"Some of these agents have been shown to offer even more stroke prevention than what is possible with warfarin (Coumadin)," said cardiologist John D. Day, MD, of Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah. Dr. Day reviewed the guidelines as first vice-president of the Heart Rhythm Society.
"In addition, all of the newer blood thinners show that the most feared bleeding risk, namely spontaneous bleeding in the brain, is much less than that of warfarin," said Day, highlighting the patient safety advantages.
The new drugs do not interact with foods, a big advantage for patients because they won't have to restrict their diets.
"The only thing holding me back from switching more of my patients to these newer blood thinners is the cost," Day confided. "For too many of my patients the cost of these newer medications is prohibitively expensive."
Less Aspirin, Less Bleeding
One big change is the recommendation to use less aspirin. Now aspirin is not recommended for anticoagulation to prevent stroke in patients with afib.
"Studies have shown that aspirin does very little to lower stroke risk in atrial fibrillation patients while at the same time being associated with a bleeding risk as high as some of the newer anticoagulant agents," said electrophysiologist Hugh Calkins, MD, FHRS, president of the Heart Rhythm Society.
"In the old days aspirin was considered important for stroke prevention. New knowledge and reanalysis of prior studies reveals that aspirin does little to nothing to reduce stroke risk in this setting," noted Dr. Calkins.
Ablation for Afib, Done by the Right Doc at the Right Facility
The procedure known as radio-frequency ablation stops abnormal electrical signals from forming in the heart, where they can cause the abnormal rhythm of afib. Patients are having catheter ablation with increased frequency, said Calkins. "This is consistent with multiple studies and clinical experience, which have shown that catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drug therapy," he explained.
Patient outcomes depend on getting the best surgeon and the best facility, according to Dr. Day. "If catheter ablations can be performed by experienced cardiologists at experienced centers then the outcomes of ablation are generally superior to medical treatment of afib."
"Unfortunately, the outcomes with catheter ablation just have not been nearly as good at the smaller community hospitals," he added. "For catheter ablation of afib it is best to stick to the large, high-volume, experienced hospitals."

Better Risk Assessment
The newer afib risk calculator is more complex than the older one, said Day. Previously, the health risks that counted were congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, age, diabetes, and stroke. In contrast, the new risk calculator uses all of these and more to more accurately predict patients' risks.
The new afib risk calculator uses these factors to help determine the best treatment options:
- Congestive heart failure - 1 point
- High blood pressure - 1 point
- Age 75 or higher - 1 point
- Diabetes - 1 point
- Stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack) - 2 points
- Vascular disease - 1 point
- Age 65 or higher - 1 point
- Sex or female gender - 1 point
If your score is two or higher, you need a potent blood thinner. "As you can see, if you are a woman and are 65 or older, then you automatically require a potent blood thinner," said Day.
How to Lower Your Afib Risk
What can people do to lower their risks?
"First, don't acquire risk factors that cause stroke," said cardiologist T. Jared Bunch, MD, a columnist at Everyday Health. "The ones we can do something about are high blood pressure and diabetes. Lifestyle changes such as daily exercise, weight loss, and a whole-food plant-based diet can lower your risk of developing high blood pressure and diabetes significantly."
Getting good sleep also comes into the picture. Dr. Bunch said, "If a person snores, has daytime fatigue, or needs a daytime nap, they need to be screened for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a very common condition in our country and increases risk of high blood pressure, weight gain, atrial fibrillation, and metabolic syndrome."
Dr. Bunch directs heart rhythm research at Intermountain Medical Center, in Murray, Utah and was not involved in the atrial fibrillation guidelines revisions.

Need some quick, tasty protein? Gojis are loaded with 18 amino acids, while also providing a balance of fast and slow-acting carbs for energy, and fiber for happy digestion.
Not only are these gojis certified Organic, unlike many gojis in the US, they come direct from the source and undergo extensive lab testing for purity, earning highest purity scores for heavy metals (details below).

One of the only Certified Organic gojis available
Timing of the harvest is important, as nutrient and flavor profiles will be off if picked too early or left on the bush too long. Entire villages come together to accelerate the harvest process, where each delicate berry is picked by hand.
The berries are collected in buckets and plastic bins, covered to prevent contamination or solar "burns," and trucked a short distance to a western-standard HACCP/GMP facility where they are washed in a water bath before undergoing controlled dehydration at RAW temperatures (under 105°F) to achieve the right balance of dehydration without losing their chewy texture.

Defensive lineman Roderick Byers of Rock Hill, S.C., made a verbal commitment to the Oregon football team Wednesday, one week before recruits can begin signing letters of intent.
Byers, 6-foot-5 and 270 pounds, addresses one of the last major needs in what is shaping up as the Ducks' best class ever. He finished with 98 tackles and seven sacks while helping Northwestern High go undefeated in the fall.
The Herald newspaper of Rock Hill reported that UO coach Chip Kelly visited Byers at the high school prior to his announcement. Byers chose the Ducks over local programs South Carolina and Clemson.
"I visited Oregon last weekend and made my decision while I was there," Byers told The Herald. "It felt like home; great coaches, great school and great facilities. The coaches told me I will compete right away, could even start. That's my goal.
"The recruiting process is tough. Everybody seemed to be pushing me to South Carolina. Some wanted me at Clemson. It's going to be tough being away from my family. I'm a high school senior making a man's decision. It was hard because all three schools are good."
The recruiting network 247sports.com, however, reported that Clemson had yet to make a formal scholarship offer to Byers. The site said Clemson is Byers' "dream school," suggesting that an offer from the Tigers would cause him to reconsider his commitment to Oregon.
Byers is considered a three-star prospect by Rivals, Scout, 247sports and ESPN. Sounds like he's built in the mold of UO senior Terrell Turner, and perhaps headed for a role along the lines of what Will Tukuafu or Brandon Bair provided the last couple years.

Tri-City sweeps Everett after Silvertips rally to force overtime
Another season in the Western Hockey League playoffs, another cameo appearance for the Everett Silvertips, but not before a dramatic conclusion...
Special to The Seattle Times
EVERETT — Another season in the Western Hockey League playoffs, another cameo appearance for the Everett Silvertips, but not before a dramatic conclusion.
The Silvertips rallied from a 3-0 deficit by scoring three third-period goals before Tri-City took a 4-3 overtime win to take the series 4-0.
Zach Yuen scored with only 1:07 left in the first overtime period to give Tri-City the win. The goal came after Tri-City was able to keep the puck in Everett's end for an eternity and the Silvertips may have succumbed to fatigue.
"Whenever you are in overtime in the playoffs everyone is going to get tired," Yuen said after the Americans completed the sweep. "Both teams were expending a lot of energy, and I was able to find a little opening and put it in it."
Everett's game-tying goal came from Josh Caron with only 40 seconds left in regulation. Caron, who had only one goal in 53 games, scored when Everett pulled goaltender Kent Simpson for an extra attacker and the Silvertips on a power play.
The comeback was started by Ryan Harrison with a power-play goal at 6:10 that cut Tri-City's lead to 3-1. Harrison then was whistled for a five-minute major charging penalty. The Silvertips not only killed off the penalty, but Ryan Murray scored to cut the margin to 3-2, setting up Caron's dramatic score.
The Silvertips were eliminated in the opening round for the fifth straight time and swept for the third time in that period.
"It would have been very easy for our kids to roll over, and they didn't," Everett coach Mark Ferner said. "Even when it was 3-0 I thought our guys were playing hard. But that's a good team, and they're well deserving of this series."
The Silvertips appeared ready to be blown out after the Americans took a 3-0 lead on goals by Brendan Shinnimin, Mason Wilgosh and Mitch Topping.
"Give them credit, they definitely didn't quit," Tri-City goaltender Ty Rimmer said. "They worked hard all series. ... They played us tight, and now we'll get a well-deserved break."

Axl Rose Criticizes Utah Police After Officer Kills Man's Canine Companion
Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose lashed out after the search for a missing child ended in the death of an innocent man's dog.
Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose lashed out after the search for a missing child ended in the death of an innocent man's dog.
Axl Rose and 'Paradise City' are featured in a new commercial for the World Cup.
The Guns N' Roses frontman has responded to the study that called him the "world's greatest singer."
The timing of such a departure, as GNR begins a new Las Vegas residency, would have been shocking.
Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose and Joan Jett were given the biggest honors -- and displayed the patience of seasoned veterans -- at tonight's frequently chaotic Golden Gods Awards ceremony.
A two-day sale this December in Beverly Hills will give Guns n' Roses fans an opportunity to own a number of items from Axl Rose's tumultuous four-year relationship with Erin Everly.
Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie and her actor husband Josh Duhamel welcomed their first child earlier today, a son they named ... Axl. And no, that's not a coincidence.
A Guns N' Roses fan named Darren Wright says he's preparing legal action after being hit in the mouth by Axl Rose's microphone at the end of the band's show on Saturday night (March 9) in Perth, Australia.
It seems Axl Rose was well aware of the splash that Guns N' Roses would someday make, even before anyone else. In fact, legendary producer/manager Kim Fowley says Rose turned down an offer to leave his then-unsigned group -- though this proposal came complete with $50,000 in cold hard cash.

Haven't figured out how you and your boo are going to spend Valentine's Day this year? Wonder no longer! White Castle is turning up the heat on both their so-heavily-processed-they-literally-melt-in-your-mouth burgers and the romance, inviting couples to spend the holiday with them. But hurry up! Tables fill up fast, so make a reservation ASAP. And don't worry about bringing a camera — the chain will ensure you "treasure the memory" of sharing a Crave Case with your honey by taking a photo of the occasion. Sigh.

This weekend, I read approximately 600 pages of the dirty smutty smut smut called Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm currently almost to the end of the second book in the trilogy and was up till 2 a.m. because I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next in the Red Room of Pain. Given that it's incredibly juicy yet poorly written, I'm confident the Fifty Shades series is the new Twilight and a movie is imminent (which is fitting considering Fifty Shades was originally written as Twilight fanfic). Forgetting, for a second, that most Hollywood stars probably wouldn't do the kind of explicit sex scenes that would do the series justice, I decided to cast the movie based on who I see in the roles. Click on to find out who I'd like to see play Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele, "Mrs. Robinson," and everyone else of importance in the series (at least through most of book two). (Warning: some spoilers ahead!) Keep reading »

If you hadn't heard, Intel actually unveiled a new smartphone chip at CES. It's just not a particularly exciting one. Lexington, as its known, will be marketed primarily in emerging parts of the world - think Southeast Asia and Africa - in handsets that will probably closely mimic the reference design you see below in the hands-on video.
I'll admit - there's not a whole lot to this thing. It has a tiny 3.7" screen, isn't particularly thin (actually, it's pretty thick), and feels cheap. But this is Intel's play in the budget market, and on the whole, I feel like they could do very well with it.

Current IPL TV host Shibani Dandekar and former host Mandira Bedi, the glam gals of cricket, speak to BT about hosting a sports show that is generally male-dominated, their love for cricket and their style ...
It was tough for me... now the doors have opened: Mandira bedi
She was cricket's original oomph gal and brought to the telly a kind of glam, bling and even controversies that the tube had never seen before. Her noodle-strap oomphy cholis, chiffons and cricket banter brought much needed colour to the screen. So, does Mandira Bedi miss playing cricket host? "I miss the cricket related activity, not so much the hosting. When I hosted the 2003 World Cup...it was life changing for me. People stopped recognising me as Shanti'and starting identifying me as Mandira. Getting into a hitherto male dominated domain was tough for me. I was gonna be the first to do it, and I knew I was going to be judged, criticised and loved; and I had to take the risk. That took guts and I feel good that I did it! Now, the doors have opened, and you have so many girls hosting cricket shows." Telling us why she doesn't miss hosting, Mandira says with a laugh, "I've been in this profession for 17 years now, and I don't think at this stage in my career I can stand on the boundary ropes and ask a 17-year-old about his game. Too much time has passed now!"
While Mandira was ready for her cricket knowledge to be under heavy scrutiny, little did she know that her style too would be under the scanner. Tell her this, and she says, "Yeah, but it did add the glamour, right? And though I do wear all sorts of dresses, I still like to believe that I still own the noodle strap cholis and the sarees that went with it!" We couldn't agree more!
'I'm not trying to fill in someone's shoes'
She's cute, sassy, full of verve and loves cricket. Meet Shibani Dandekar — the dimpled host of IPL who's adding her own flavour to the fast and furious format of cricket. The nerves of hosting IPL for the fist time last year have been controlled. "And this year," Shibani says, "Unlike the last season, I'm more confident and sure of what I am doing and so more comfy". Have the comparisons to Mandira Bedi, the original oomph gal of cricket, finally stopped? She laughs and says, "When I said yes to host the IPL, I wasn't trying to fill in someone else's shoes. I wasn't trying to prove a point. I was only going to lend my style to the show, ask the right questions, get my facts right, keep the viewer informed and basically leave no room for error! I was raised in Australia, so cricket wasn't a new subject to me. I just hadn't anchored any shows in relation with the game."
While she talks brass tacks, veer the topic to the glamour that she brings to the game, and Shibani says, "See, being a woman, I have to wear attractive dresses - not boring shirts, ties and trousers! So, yeah, I am doing my bit, but that's only a teeny weeny part of my job." Ask Shibani how she'd like to describe her style. Thinking for a bit, she says, "I think I am this fun person, and people often label me cute. So I guess, me and my style are cute and fun! That's the kind of person I am."

This conflict is core to the Jewish belief system. In the book of Bereishis (Genesis), Abraham, the forefather of the Jewish people, is called by G-d and told to "go for yourself, from your land, and from your birthplace, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you." Why would G-d do this?
What I see in Eid Al-adha is something else: a celebration with deep connections to both Christianity and Judaism. The deepest of those connections is the spectacle, past and present, of countless deeply devout people taking a sacred story into their own hands as if it were a clump of soft clay and remaking it in their own image.
Abraham experienced multiple traumas that included suffering and pain and sorrow. As we are all his children, then that means that we must accept that our lives will also include pain and suffering and sorrow. To be Jewish means to suffer and to stay Jewish is to be resilient. We are not let in on God's master plan.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My husband and I wanted to send out thank you postcards for our wedding thank you's. All I wanted was a picture of us on the front of the postcard (it was a picture from our wedding day of both of us holding a banner that said "Thank You." This Uniquely Yours option allowed me to do just that! They turned our exactly how I wanted them to, and sending out postcards as thank you's really saves on postage costs. I would definitely recommend this product and this website as a whole (I've ordered three different products from this website for our wedding and could not be happier with them)!"
"I wanted to use my own design, so I used the professional print service. I was concerned about what the end result would be, since I used a Pantone metallic gold in my design and I wasn't sure that it would look right. My worries turned out to be for nothing. Even on the thick, matte paper the gold looks metallic and I ended up with precisely what I had in mind. We just sent the invitations out last week & have gotten several compliments on them. I am so happy with my decision to use this service."
"Amazing quality of printing services and most importantly, the designer was patient with my 5+ changes to my proofs. They were extremely courteous and listened to all my requests. My only complaint is that the postcard is slightly smaller than I expected - smaller than a normal postcard. Also, I cut my photo exactly to the specs they listed for the card and it never fit! Something is not right on the dimensions. But, I can't complain about the service and overall quality, plus the customization with multiple fonts/colors was excellent. I will definitely be using WPD for my printing needs to all things wedding!"
"We're thrilled with our wedding thank you notes. The design is beautiful and fits with our beach wedding in Cape Cod. The paper is thicker than we expected - this is a good, solid card stock. The order process was quick and easy, we approved the proof and they printed the cards the same day, delivery arrived on time, and customer service was great. We highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas."

But before I jump in to our results, I want to take a few -- make a few preparatory comments about what we've accomplished over the last year and what we anticipate for the year in front of us. I first spoke to you as Pall's CEO in December. At that time, I said that I viewed Pall as a huge long-term value-creation opportunity. I believe that statement even more so today. We talked about foundational work that we had to do, particularly with respect to people, process and technology, and I'm happy to report that we've made significant progress but with much more to do. With regard to people, as you know, there have been a number of changes to the executive management team. I'm incredibly pleased with the talent that we now have, as well as the developing bench strength behind them. In the fourth quarter, we added business development capability, which is critical to our growth strategy.
With regard to process, in the quarter, we focused almost exclusively on restoring customer service levels to pre-SAP implementation levels and are now working toward best-in-industry metrics. And with regard to technology, we're increasing R&D spend. We're also taking a much more focused approach as to where we invest. We've added significant talents in R&D to accomplish this.
Last year, I articulated the strategy which highlighted our move toward more emphasis on strategic acquisitions to enable core growth. We will do so in a disciplined manner. This may include enhancing our current offerings but also moving into adjacent product markets where our applications expertise and our global channel are a natural fit.
We closed the transaction with Haemonetics on August 1 as planned, and there are no other planned divestitures. In short, we believe that we can more actively organically manage the portfolio to position ourselves well for future growth.

I'm planning on replacing my boulevard grass with some type of ground cover next year as I have no use for grass. I'd like to use some type of low maintenance ground cover that will hold up if it does get walked once in a while. Does anyone have any ideas on what I will work? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My "alternative lawn" is Prunella Vulgaris, a northwest native herb known as 'self-heal' or 'heal all'. It is a wonderful ground cover, requiring 1/3 the water as grass turf and mowing about very third week. It looks fabulously green in August and stays manicured and lovely instead of looking like a dying meadow like all the other "alternatives" I have seen. I'd be happy to send you a photo if I knew how on this website. |
Jazzy: I guess the term "boulevard" indicates that it is in full light, right? You really have a huge amount of choice, and it depends on how much moisture your area gets, how tall you want these plants to be, do you wish to have blooms, and so on. For instance, for full sun and light rain, you could do no better than lots of thyme, which will spread. It stays really low and you can get different kinds that bloom purple, pink or white. |

The 10 best music videos of 2005: Watch 'em
10. The Click Five, ''Just the Girl'' Admittedly, the high-school daydream theme has been picked over by everyone from Van Halen to Britney Spears, but a jaunty cameo by a grown-up Peter Brady (Christopher Knight) upgrades The Click Five's clip from clichéd to crowd-pleasing. (Watch it)
9. R. Kelly, ''Trapped in the Closet'' A groundbreaking urban opera? A deranged train-wreck from an artist buying his own hype? Or perhaps a brilliantly executed practical joke? The jury's still out, but one thing's for certain: From the vibrating cell phone to the little person in the kitchen cabinet, there wasn't a more buzzed-about video in 2005. (Watch an excerpt)
8. Leela James, ''Don't Speak'' It takes all of three minutes and 24 seconds for James' heart to shatter like the bottle of wine she drops after catching her no-good man canoodling with another woman. Not only does the pillowy-haired singer deliver a gorgeous rendition of this No Doubt song, but her moving performance in the video shows her potential as an actress, a possible career move if her music continues to be overlooked. (Watch it)
7. Beck, ''Girl'' Even without a trippy setting that regularly collapses on itself to reveal messages like ''beauty lies,'' ''side effects death,'' and ''where it's at,'' this freewheeling tour of the barrio is a visual feast. Not only that, but you've got to grin when Beck joins a random family picnic in the park or tries to get jiggy alongside a salsa band. (Watch it)
6. Missy Elliot, ''Lose Control'' In an era where fleet-footed editing can turn even the most uncoordinated pop stars into would-be Freds and Gingers, Elliot's sick and twisted choreography is a rare thrill particularly when it's paired with the a loopy landscape like the one featured in ''Lose Control.'' Add surreal twists like an airborne Ciara flying into a wall, or Missy emerging from under the earth, and you've got a video that's completely, uniquely hers. (Watch it)
5. Weezer, ''Beverly Hills'' Do Rivers Cuomo & Co. deserve special mention just for standing around the Playboy mansion and serving up a little ear candy? Absolutely. No other artists this year made video-making look like such goofy fun. (Watch it)
4. Common, ''Go'' Though Common indulges in the rap-video formula of trotting out a bevy of bodacious, barely clad babes for his ''Go'' video, he also employs sumptuous cinematography and playful graphics, making the standard setup look less like exploitation and more like a sexy celebration. Let's hope other hip-hop directors are headed in the same direction. (Watch it)
3. Mariah Carey, ''It's Like That/We Belong Together'' In a year when Mariah finally got her groove back, she also showed a sharp eye for casting by filming back-to-back videos starring the guy who'd soon be one of fall TV's breakout stars: Prison Break's Wentworth Miller. Half smoldering masquerade ball, half alternate ending to her own failed marriage to Tommy Mottola, Mimi's one-two punch is 100% fierce. (Watch it)
2. Green Day, ''Wake Me Up When September Ends'' So what if ''event videos'' are old school? It's still fun to watch those extended scenes of dialogue, high-profile guest stars, and intricate plotlines. With the harrowing mini-movie for ''September'' starring Jamie Bell and Evan Rachel Wood as young lovers torn apart when the former joins the military Green Day is the year's best contributor to a genre formerly ruled by Michael Jackson (''Thriller''), Guns N' Roses (''November Rain''), and even (!) Paula Abdul (''Rush, Rush''). (Watch it)
1. Destiny's Child, ''Girl'' Maybe the concept would've worked better when Destiny's Child was a quartet. But the girls' Sex and the City homage packs liberal doses of dramedy, high fashion, and sex appeal into a few short minutes. Better still, the Kelly-trumps-cad finale is an ending worthy of Carrie Bradshaw. (Watch it)
Who's on your list of the year's best music videos?

Between the death of the blessed Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) to the rising of the sun from the west, many Signs have appeared in our modern society that are warning us against the coming of Dajjal and the evils that have been released by our sins and the deterioration in our relationship with Allah.
Some Signs appeared immediately after the death of the blessed Prophet a and were drastic but short like the assassination of Umar and the assassination of the third caliph Uthman (Allah be pleased with him); others are subtle and have weaved their way into the fabric of our spirit and our society. They have become the norms of modern life but have deftly changed how we see and perceive, and how we lead our lifestyles.
The blessed Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) predicted, "A time will come when the faith will become like a stranger." He also talked about the Mongol invasion, the discovery of oil, a boom in the number of reciters of Qur'an, the targeting of scholars and much, much more.
It is compulsory upon every believer who wants to know about a changing world devastated by economic, spiritual, and social downfall to learn what the future holds for them and how to save their faith in these trying times before the coming of the Final Hour.
Refreshments/Meals Included
by Shaykh Numaan Cheema (Boston, Massachusetts)
Salāh. A connection to our Allah. A means of stopping ourselves from lewdness. A source of finding inner peace along with outer. Many a time, salāh is the only part of the day when we turn to our Lord Almighty and rekindle the spark of imān. Unfortunately, we tend to be spiritually deprived from this sacred ritual with distractions ranging from crying children to burping adults. But the most disturbing—and quite frankly, annoying—distraction of all occurs when the Imam is beautifully reciting the blessed words of the Qur'ān or the musallīs are praying quietly, and suddenly the fragile, glass-like sanctity of salāh along with its peace, focus, and spirituality is shattered by a continuous flow of brain throbbing tunes.....

Are we truly on the straight path? After every some time, a new sect appears claiming to be rightly guided and condemning everyone else. With so many different sects, opinions, and beliefs how can we ever know that we are truly on the straight path? In the first few ayas of the Qur'an, Allah has given us the criteria to know where we stand: as true believers or as deviants and heretics. He tells us in Surah Fatiha that we must consider who we emulate. If they are among "those whom You have blessed," then we have nothing to fear because we know we are on the Straight Path.
The purpose behind this series is to recognize "those whom You have blessed," and to love them, because the blessed Prophet a said, "A person will be with whom he loves on the Day of Judgment (Bukhari)." Following in their footsteps will ensure preservation of our iman and the iman of our progeny.

By Maria Carter Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 2 of 4 Day One Start at the Jim Beam American Stillhouse in Clermont, Ky., with a 75-minute guided look at bourbon's journey from natural well water through mashing, distilling, and barreling ($8 per person). Next, head southeast on KY-245 for 15 miles to Bardstown (the bourbon capital of the world), where residents have been making bourbon since 1776. Every September it hosts the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival. This small town is home to Barton 1792 Distillery (complimentary tours and tastings) and the Bourbon Heritage Center, part of Heaven Hill Distilleries, which is the largest independent family-owned distillery in America and offers trolley and behind-the-scene tours ($5 to $25 per person). Willett Distillery is here, too (tour with tasting, $7), as is the Getz Museum of Whiskey History, a collection of American whiskey artifacts dating from pre-Colonial days (free admission). With so much going on in Bardstown, it's a good place to stop for the night.

Ok He is a great cat for one..we got his at a animal shelter in 03(for my Birthday)...but my problem is he loves the Dad of the house meaning (he only gets in his lap..He is always looking and crying when he leaves)with me it's more time to eat and if you don't feed me now..I'LL CLAW YOU..I'm not talking ankle claws..you can see how big he is..I mean almost whole leg Claw...HOW DO i GET HIM to STOP..AND HOW DO i GET HIM TO COME TO ME LIKE HE DOES HIM..WITHOUT HURTING ME |

I meant we Got Him* In a animal shelter |

He's beautiful! He needs to know that you're the "go to" person: Dad needs to ignore him. I wish you the best. |
Seriously, this is not an unusual situation, nor is it an easy one to find a solution to... anti anxiety meds, Feliway, Rescue Remedy, etc. all may help, but behavior modification in an adult cat with an unknown history can be a long term project, and often fraught with disappointment and danger. Be careful! You may simply not be a good owner for this particular cat. Cat's can end you up in the hospital if you are not careful. |
If you feed him right away every time he claws you, his cat brain thinks he will get a food reward for clawing. Without meaning to, you are teaching him to claw you to get food. If my cat clawed me, I would shout loudly and leave the room for awhile. |
Some of the problem could be nonverbal cues you're giving out. You've already been hurt so you may be expecting it to happen again. Definitely be the primary feeder, petter and all things good. Sit down on the floor and let the cat come to you, give him yummy treats for reward and RELAXING pets. Too strong will sometime cause them to get excited and go into play mode. Keep claws trimmed or even buy the claw tips they sell at the pet stores. Be careful of how you are holding a cat, some cats wont tolerate it at all. |
I'd immediately scruff him and place him in time-out for awhile (like the bathroom) as soon as he attacked me. If he's too big/aggressive to scruff, then try a squirt bottle, loud clapping or anything that would work to scare him from scratching me. Cat claws are dirty and you can get a nasty infection from them. Don't feed him until he's calmed down and finished sulking from being kept in time-out. If you aren't able to get him into a time-out area then completely ignore him. He's not going to starve. Once he's completely settled down and calm you can feed him. Reinforce good behavior with food; not bad behavior. If he again tries to attack then repeat the process. Pay very close attention to him. You should be able to identify that he's in attack mode right before he gets you by his body movements. Try to intervene before he grabs you. It's okay to scold him right before an attack - he'll learn either way. You'll gradually be able to turn dinner into a positive activity over time and win him over. |

I have an aggressive rescue cat too and read somewhere to pet them while they're eating to build trust so I've been trying that. I save his favorite canned food for when I can sit and pet him while he's eating it. It seems to be helping or maybe he's just getting more mellow as he gets older. |

3 Steps to Perfect Beachy Waves
And it doesnt require a trip to the shore (we wish!).
Special Offers
Hair pro Adam Maclay shares his easy, three-step technique for effortlessly tousled hair.
1. Add some heft
Spray a styler through your hair before air- or blow-drying, especially if you have fine locks. A thick spray will help hold the curl longer. (Oribe Thick Dry Finishing Spray, $37, oribe.com)
2. Use a flat iron
For natural waves, twist your wrist 180 degrees so your hair glides against the iron's curved outer plates. (Remington Ultimate Stylist 3-in-1 Styler, $32, amazon.com)
3. Keep waves piece-y

They don't fit on the new ranch models with the heavier tapered barrel or factory flash hiders. On the older Mini's they work very well
"In God We Trust"www.SunflowerAmmo.comwww.Mo-Rod.com
I installed one of the Choates on my ranch rifle. It's not a bad part: casting is kind of rough, at least as compared to a fully machined finish. Since mine is scoped I don't actually use it as a sight, so I can't really comment on the difference in that respect. It does look nice though & the added weight seems to have changed the barrel harmonics and improved the accuracy. Just be aware that you will have to drill TWO new pin holes for the Choate, as it does not use the original sight pin hole. This is moderately difficult but obviously pretty much permanent...

I didn't write this, I got it from http://www.tacktech.com but I can't find the URL to the page, I cut and pasted the article when I found it, so here it is in it's entirety... (if I find the URL I will edit this post)
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2003 8:49 pm Post subject: WinXP CD install with all nForce2 drivers!
i posted a week or so ago on how one can go about installing windows xp without having to provide a floppy for the serial ATA drivers. it seems like there's a few people out there that wanted to know the rest of the story (the GUI setup), so here's my revised version:
How to make a Windows XP Pro boot CD with all the nForce2 drivers!
this process will create an XP boot cd that won't require you to install SATA or nForce drivers, as they'll all be present upon the completion of setup. i made this because i hate floppy drives (die floppy DIE!), and i was getting sick of having to connect a floppy drive just to get my SATA RAID disks recognized during setup. one thing lead to another and i wound up creating a boot cd that handled all my drivers to save myself the headache.
this has borrowed heavily from various sources on the net. most of the pertinent sites are linked herein.
1) copy all the files from your XP cd to a temporary folder (let's call it C:\XPSource)
2) slipstream SP1 if you haven't already: http://www.tacktech....icle.cfm&id=160
3) copy your now slipstreamed cd files into a folder (say, C:\XPCD)
4) download the newest drivers for your motherboard. i've got an asus a7n8x deluxe, so i'm using the 2.16 drivers. their site doesn't seem to be responding to me at the moment, but the file was named "nf2v116_wxp.zip". also grab the 3com drivers, and whatever other drivers you might need as well (say, video card or whatever else)
5) make a directory under C:\XPCD named $OEM$
6) make a directory under that called $1
7) make yet another directory under that called Drivers. you should now have something like C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers
8) extract your drivers to subdirectories of C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers. the asus drivers all come in separate directories (XP\MemCtl, XP\Ethernet, etc). make note of the subdirectories you've created, as we'll have to provide a list of these directories to XP setup later. update: these files and folder names MUST have 8.3 compatiable names. this means that none of the files or folders can have names longer than 8 characters. it won't work if they do! (thanks lanakaian!)
9) download the newest SATA RAID drivers from SI. as of this post, you can get them here.
10) extract the "Si3112r.sys" file into the i386 folder (C:\XPCD\i386\Si3112r.sys)
11) extract the whole SATA driver archive (all the files) to a directory under Drivers, say C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\SATA.
12) find the TXTSETUP.SIF file in the i386 folder (C:\XPCD\i386\TXTSETUP.SIF) and open it in NOTEPAD.
13) add the following line under [SourceDisksFiles]
si3112r.sys = 1,,,,,,_x,4,1
14) add the following line under [HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_61121095 = "Si3112r"
15) add the following line under [SCSI.Load]
si3112r = si3112r.sys,4
16) add the following line under [SCSI]
si3112r = "Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATARaid Controller"
17) save your changes to TXTSETUP.SIF - we're done with this file. this file is for the text-based portion of the install (before we get XP's GUI). it keeps us from having to insert a floppy and pressing F6 during setup.
18) now we need to handle the GUI portion of the setup. create a text file under C:\XPCD\i386 called "WINNT.SIF". this is a file that XP setup will look for to automate the GUI portion of the setup. this is called an "unattended installation", and is used to answer some of the questions XP asks during the installation (and even some questions it doesn't ask). this file is called an "answer file". for more on setting up a custom unattended install, look here: http://www.tacktech....ay.cfm?ttid=202
19) open C:\XPCD\i386\WINNT.SIF in notepad, and insert the following lines:
OEMSkipWelcome = 1
20) here's the important bit: look at the OemPnPDriversPath entry.
PUT IT ALL ON THE SAME LONG LINE!!! not on 4 lines like above - i only put it on 4 lines because the forum will then stretch the page wide enough to fit it and you'll wind up scrolling left and right for the whole **** document.
this line will tell XP setup where to look for the .INF files for each of your devices. it will look in these paths first before checking it's own database of device drivers. the paths given are relative to the $OEM$\$1 folder you created. that is, "Drivers\ATI" tells it to look for a .INF file under C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\ATI. change this line to point to the paths for all the device drivers that you've downloaded, seperated by ";"
21) change the product key to match your key and you won't have to enter it during installation. otherwise, you can just remove that line
22) again, check out how to do a custom unattended installation from the link above if you want more settings changed - you can setup a lot of things that you normally do manually after the installation in this answer file. save the C:\XPCD\i386\WINNT.SIF answer file and close notepad.
23) burn it to a bootable CD by following the guide here: http://www.tacktech....icle.cfm&id=160
that should do it. post here if you have any problems (or success!), and i'll try to field any questions.[/u]

The info required in lines 13, 14, 15 & 16 can be found in the textsetup.oem file that *should* be part of the driver you downloaded for your SATA / RAID device..
feel free to PM me if you need any more info on this one..
Good luck !

You're one step closer to paradise...
There's nothing quite like the aerial view of a waterfall that drops a couple thousand feet into natural pools, or seeing lava flow to the ocean, where clouds of steam billow into the air. You can get this bird's-eye view from a helicopter or a small fixed-wing aircraft. Although there have been a few cases of pilots violating flight paths and altitudes over resident communities in recent years, most operators are reputable and fly with strict adherence to FAA safety rules. How to get the best experience for your money? Before you hire a company, be a savvy traveler and ask the right questions. What kind of aircraft do they fly? Do they have two-way headsets so you can talk with the pilot? What is their safety record?
Iolani Air. These two- to six-passenger Gippsland and Cessna aircraft depart from both the Hilo and Kona airports, following the coastline all the way around for a view of the entire Big Island. You'll get a good view from every seat of fascinating geographic and historical points of interest. Four air tours are available, from a 60-minute tour of volcanoes and waterfalls at $175 per person to a 2½-hour full-circle tour starting at $289 per person. Highlights include the Waipio Valley and the Kona Coast. PHONE: 808/329-0018 or 800/538-7590. www.iolaniair.com.
Paradise Helicopters. This friendly company offers some great options no one else does. On landing tours, departing from Kona Airport, you can either touch down for a hike in a remote Hamakua Valley, take a zip-line tour, or have lunch in Hilo. After taking you over the volcano's lava flows, the aircraft easily maneuver near sheer valley walls, ensuring breathtaking views. In the four-passenger MD 500 helicopters (departing Hilo only) you can experience a very cool "doors off" adventure where you can even feel the heat from the volcano. Flights start at $200 for a 50-minute flight to $495 for a three-hour landing tour. Pilots, many of whom have Coast Guard backgrounds, are fun and knowledgeable. Free shuttles available to and from the Kona and Hilo airports, where tours are based. PHONE: 808/969-7392 or 866/876-7422. www.paradisecopters.com.
Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Without a doubt, this is Hawaii's most comfortable ride. It's not every day you can climb aboard a brand-spanking-new $3-million-dollar Eco-Star helicopter—a gorgeous craft so quiet you hardly realize you're taking off. It's very roomy so you aren't crammed in with other guests, and there are great views from every seat. Pilots are knowledgeable about the island, but are not overly chatty.
