Washington, D.C. -- National and Washington, D.C. gay and lesbian rights leaders are calling on closeted Members of Congress to come out as that institution debates the anti-gay "Defense of Marriage Act," or DOMA.
In a full-page ad in the July 26 edition of The Washington Blade, a gay newspaper, the activists are calling on closeted gays and lesbians in Congress to "end your silence and defend your community in this time of unprecedented hostility."
DOMA, passed by the House last week and expected to pass the Senate as early as this week, proactively denies same-sex couples the basic rights currently provided as privileges to heterosexual couples who choose to marry.
"This is apartheid legislation," said Joel Lawson, a Washington, D.C. activist who helped organize the ad effort. "DOMA codifies discrimination. It is 'special rights' for heterosexuals, and every Member of Congress has an obligation to oppose it, especially gay or lesbian members. We can no longer afford their silence."
"Gay and Lesbian Members of the House still have the opportunity to come out and shatter the myths that gave birth to DOMA," said Lawson. "Gay and lesbian Members of the Senate must speak out as that body prepares to vote on this anti-gay legislation."
Mickey Wheatley, a civil rights attorney and gay activist, added, "Lesbian and gay members of Congress have a special and historical responsibility to speak out from their own life stories against the outrageous attacks on gay and lesbian people that the DOMA legislation and congressional debate represent."
"The silence of the members of the Congressional Closet has been deafening," said Martin Childers, another Washington, D.C. activist. "They must come out. They must speak out. Our freedom and their integrity are at stake."

Dont for a moment imagine after the Australian Grand Prix that McLaren are going to get complacent, or that Ferrari have let their heads drop. Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo might have said, after engine failures stymied Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa in Melbourne: "It was a healthy dose of humility." But, he also said: "I'm looking forward to Malaysia when I expect to see the real Ferrari."
And new team principal Stefano Domenicali added: "The result speaks for itself. Unfortunately it was a dreadful weekend. Nothing went as planned, so it was difficult. But if you remember, in 2006 we had a similar start with the two non-finishes and we were able to catch up again.
"We weren't phenomenal guys before this race and we are not stupid after it, so we really need to analyse in all the details what has happened. And of course the main concern is to understand the reliability problems. We had two engines fail so this is the main issue to understand. But we need to stay cool, calm and concentrated. We need not be too emotional now because it's very easy to go down that route. We need to stay very rational."
McLaren never underestimate Ferrari, and are not expecting another relatively easy run in Sepang this weekend.
"Every Grand Prix team experiences difficult weekends," said team principal Ron Dennis, who will miss this race because of family commitments in England. "They have got a lot of depth and we are under no illusions that they will come back and will be very competitive in Malaysia and for the rest of the season. All we can do is try and stay focused on our own efforts and that is what we will do.
The indications in Melbourne were that the two top teams have similar pace. What was also exciting, however, is that Nick Heidfelds best race lap for BMW Sauber, who finished second in Albert Park, was only three-tenths of a second off McLaren, and the same as Ferrari.
We were very pleased with the way things went, admits technical director Willy Rampf with a big smile. We did not get the best from the cars on Friday, but we were happy with the set-ups on Saturday and I think that showed in our performance then, and in the race. But we are cautious. Sepang is a different kind of track to Melbourne, so we must wait and see how well it suits our cars.
Nevertheless, dont write off the chances of Heidfeld and front-row starting team-mate Robert Kubica, in their F1.08s.
Likewise, Williams are feeling very chipper after Nico Rosbergs strong performance won him his first F1 podium. The FW30 looked very impressive last weekend, and Kazuki Nakajima also earned points to place the team second overall ahead of BMW Sauber. On the downside, Nakajima will be hamstrung by an automatic ten-place grid demotion at Sepang, a penalty for the Japanese driver colliding with another car in Melbourne.
Then there is Red Bull. Mark Webber got no chance to show what the RB4 could do in the race, and is hungry to correct that this weekend. Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso is also out for further points. The Renault R28 may not yet be a front-runner that can challenge McLaren and Ferrari, but the Spaniards driving in Australia, especially when he overtook Raikkonen and Kovalainen in one swoop, served as a reminder that he has lost none of his skill or motivation.
Sepang really is my favourite track, the former champion says. I took my first pole position there in 2003 with Renault, and I have won this race twice. Its a circuit that I enjoy and I always tend to attack a little bit more.
Renaults executive director of engineering, Pat Symonds, is not alone in believing that it will take the next two races before the true picture of 2008s pecking order emerges in Spain.
The challenge of Sepang lies in its fast sweeping turns, especially Turns 4 through to 8, which demand a well-balanced chassis. Good traction is also important, especially on the exit of Turn 9, the tight left hander. The opening combination of Turns 1 and 2 is also a difficult challenge for the drivers, but they get compensated by Turn 14 which demands genuine skill with its tightening entry which is approached under braking.
The high ambient temperatures also place a premium on adequate cooling, and the track is tougher on tyres than Melbourne. Bridgestones offering in Malaysia will be the medium and hard compounds, as opposed to the soft and medium used in Australia. That, and the ban on traction control, will force drivers to look after their rear tyres, which already tend to wear quickly here. Throw in the changes to the electronic engine braking systems, which have tended to make the cars trickier to handle under braking, and we could have another race like Melbourne with drivers getting caught out by mistakes.
As a subtle warning to the opposition Dennis added, in reference to Lewis Hamilton after Australia: He was very fresh, and he was very comfortable. And he was saving the engine. It was very easy! I think we have shown we have a very competitive car, so we will go to Malaysia with a very positive mood.

County Grind Live Music at Green Room January 14: Visual Artists Announced
Monica McGivern takes cool pictures like this one of This Heart Electric all the time. Imagine what she can do when curating a show of artists. |
If the news hasn't already made it to you, this show will be my very last night in South Florida before I move up to Minneapolis to begin my gig January 18 as music editor at City Pages. I would love to see you all to say goodbye.
One aspect of this event not yet explored is the art going on display, and wow did we luck out for this. Trusted New Times photographer Monica McGivern took charge of enlisting a bunch of the finest local shooters and visual artists, and she landed a truly badass crew.
"We've got representation from the colorful mix of Miamians to the northern underground Snooze-y sounds of Palm Beach County," McGivern tells us. "I'm honored to show, via my photography, what the South Florida music scene is all about; a vast palette of visual flavor and musical blends. Each event that I cover, I hold back a couple of my favorite images for use in 'something special.' This night is that something special."
Here's our murderer's row of artists:
Ian Witlen, Concert Photography
Monica McGivern, Concert Photography
Christina Mendenhall, Concert Photography
Chris Hill, Street Photography
Sean Murdock, Photography/Mixed Media
Chuck Loose/Iron Forge Press, Screen Printing
Kyle Hess, Painting/Mixed Media
Visuals will be provided by Bleeding Palm's Ronnie Rivera, who will showcase '60s psychedelia projections downstairs. Upstairs, he's going to do more of the spasmatic stuff like his animated .gifs and possibly a third projector upstairs with just concert photography.
And, as previously reported: In addition to the musical portion, the evening will feature a two-hour feeding and drinking frenzy featuring selections from the Green Room's kitchen and beer samples from Fresh Beer between 8 and 10 p.m.
Do not miss this.
County Grind Live Music, hosted by New Times Broward-Palm Beach and Gallery Saturdays. 8 p.m. Saturday, January 14, at Green Room, 109 SW Second Ave., Fort Lauderdale. Tickets cost $5; 21 and up. Click here.

The quality is wonderful and it is so incredibly easy to use. Uploading is easy, whether it be video or pictures. The effects are very original and very cool.
It does not come in a Window's version, which would be a big plus if it did. There are no real ways to make a variety of changes on a slideshow of the pictures. The only option is the Ken Burns effect, which only zooms in and out on the picture, but overall, it does not impare the style or end result.

Press Releases
Novo Nordisk ranks 4th among the world's top 20 science employers (21 Sep 2012)
Dansk version | Read the announcement in PDF format |
Bagsværd, Denmark - Novo Nordisk was just ranked number four on the Science 2012 Top Employer list – up from ninth place last year. The company's 'social responsibility', 'respect for employees' and ability to inspire 'loyalty among its employees' were cited as key drivers of this impressive global ranking.
"We're proud to have jumped to the top five in this widely-recognised ranking of the world's best science employers. Our excellent researchers around the world are the main source of this company's strong innovation. The fact that they feel respected and take pride in working for a company that operates in a sustainable way is great to see. In the battle to recruit the best researchers, there's nothing more powerful than peer-to-peer communication," says Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen, chief science officer and executive vice president at Novo Nordisk.
R&D professionals at Novo Nordisk comprise world-class experts in the engineering, expression, formulation and delivery of therapeutic proteins, as well as in the development of compounds into safe, effective and convenient treatment options for people living with chronic conditions like diabetes, haemophilia and rheumatoid arthritis. More than 4,000 employees work in Novo Nordisk R&D in Denmark, US, China and India.
"This positive evaluation of Novo Nordisk resonates well with my own personal experience as a diabetes researcher in the company for the past 21 years. Our collaborative work in multidisciplinary teams both within and outside of the company, and our openness to explore new ideas inspire me. It gives me the confidence that I'm part of a highly-qualified team working every day to find better treatment solutions for people with diabetes," says Erica Nishimura, scientific director of Diabetes Biology at Novo Nordisk.
In the Science 2012 survey, 4,276 employees working in the biotechnology, biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical and related industries were asked to rank the 20 best employers based on 23 characteristics, including research-driven environment and financial strength.

A few blocks down is the Stiegl brewery and restaurant where we went every night; it's so fun and the beer/food was excellent. Otherwise, there wasn't much in the way of food in the area (but seriously Stiegl is kind of all you need). Free breakfast was hams, cheese, breads, cereal and coffee/tea. Wifi works only in lobby

Now the other day i posted to the " off topic " forum , i posted a link to google earth , with an attrib to where i found it ( a pro gun blog ) Within a short time my post was killed , while i dont understand why i wont fight the mod who did this . they are the mod not i ) Since said mod quarantined my post , and i assume the mod team voted it was unsuitable , i would just respectfully request a pm as to why and how it exceded the forum rules . As a note to any who may read this this is not a ***** post .. the mod team here has worked with me far beyond what they should have . This is not a complaint post , it is a public post ( as it stands now ) to request the mod who killed my post to pm me and explain to me why . I set here ready to accept any thing , however i think the work of a pm saying we kill it because ... is not out of line , if for no other reason i would like to apologise to the mod , and if indeed the member .
I honestly could have taken this to the mods , however without details of what i posted i think we as members need to understand the rules . apparently either by commission or omission i dont folloow them well . Anyway I will not pm anyone on by behalf, and you may do with this post as you will . When someone explains that my theread violates the policy of the board i will support the call . I would however request that the mod who killed the post pm me .

Finally, here is part 3 of our December feature on books recommended for teen girls. Be sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2 and please - PLEASE - buy books for the girls in your life this holiday!
Lorie Ann Grover says: "When Colleen asked for a book recommend for What a Girl Wants, I went back and scrolled through my goodreads. What have I read this past year, that I'd want to place in the hands of a teen girl? There are so many books! Certainly every readergirlz main feature and postergirlz recommended read. But what rises to the top for me, personally? I've chosen three:
Justina Chen's North of Beautiful because every girl should be challenged to discover her own definition of beauty. Teen girls will identify with Terra as she charts her path away from her constraining, abusive father. They will cheer when she finds truth and beauty through art, and she gathers insight through her new friend Jacob. The beautifully crafted sentences and rounded characters will hold readers with hope and call them to find their own north of beautiful.
Laura Resau's Red Glass is my second recommend. With rich, beautiful language, readers will join Sophie on her journey into Mexico during a summer road trip. An eccentric cast, cultural diversity, and a hint of magical hope infuse this work which will expand the scope of teen girls today. Whether they be touched by the Bosnian war refuge or the six year old Mexican boy who has crossed the U.S. border illegally, the readers' experiences and empathy will be broadened.
And Beth Kephart's House of Dance is my third recommend. The lyrical beauty of Beth's prose just may incite teen readers to reach out to an older generation. As Rosie is charged with tending to her grandfather dying of cancer, she uncovers the life that he loved. Through ballroom dance instruction, Rosie's confidence blossoms until she can stand and give back herself. The sense of community and family love found in this gentle journey will resound in teen readers.
So there are three books of hope, I just realized. As I say to teen readers, "There's hope. Look." (Loose Threads, 2002)"
CM: Oh Justina Chen! Oh Beth Kephart! Can I say how much I love their books? Justina's Nothing but the Truth (and a few white lies) remains one of the funniest and most normal books I've read in ages. And yet it is anything but typical it's just that any reader can see themselves in Patty's frustrations. And Beth's Nothing But Ghosts is a revelation, plain and simple. Such gorgeous writing and such a light touch when it comes to family drama and romance and coming-of-age. A book to sink into!
Laurel Snyder says: "Ah, the randomly-chosen holiday gift book! I remember (seriously, folks) my dad giving me a copy of Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust for Hanukkah one year, no lie.
And while that was kind of an intense experience, I'm going to argue for intensity today. I'm going to say that the single most important book I owned as a teen was a dusty copy of Our Bodies Ourselves, which I stole from my step-mom's bookshelf and hid under my bed. I'm going to suggest that maybe, if your daughter doesn't have a copy, this is the year.
I know there are other books on the market now, written specifically for teens. But what I liked about Our Bodies Ourselves was that it wasn't written for me. It didn't talk AT me, or assume it knew exactly who I was, as a teenager. It was a resource, a real resource. It was all about the body-- about all kinds of bodies. Mine seemed less confusing and weird when placed beside those others. Our Bodies Ourselves talked about things I assumed I'd never need to know. Shocking things that made the things I was trying to figure out seem less shocking."
CM: Oh man, Our Bodies, Ourselves throws me back to around 1980 when I discovered a copy at my aunt's house while visiting and practically inhaled it while she was at work. It blew my mind. I didn't proudly lift the book off the library shelf until college (and why I was so unwilling to march in and check it out at 15 I'll never understand) but it made so much sense about growing up. It's awesome and every high school girl for sure should have it.
Jenny Davidson says: "I am sorry to say I have not read enough new YA this year to make very sensible recommendations! I heartily second suggestions in the first round of Megan Whalen Turner's series, which I discovered a few years ago and read with the same kind of pleasure I brought as a child to Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series (books I must have read twenty times each - and they stand up to adult rereading very well, particularly the first installment in the series).
Colleen's recommendations of Diana Wynne Jones's Fire and Hemlock and Pamela Dean's Tam Lin also hit home.
I'm just going to name one book that is both a new book and a huge childhood pleasure of mine - Joan Aiken's reissued volume of stories, The Serial Garden. These will only be appropriate for a very childish or a very mature teenager, as they otherwise tilt more between the eight-year-old's sensibility and the wise adult's - but perhaps if you have a girl on your list who will not be offended by the gift of something that potentially looks a bit childish, you will be able to invite a new reader into a world that continues to delight me as much as anything else I've ever read."
CM: The Serial Garden was one of my favorite books this year! It has a more serious sensibility then most magical stories and actually really drifts into thoughtful grown-up moments more than once. You laugh a lot but you also will be shaken a bit. It's the perfect blend of British charm and fantasy, a truly critical book for any fantasy lover's bookshelf (regardless of age).
Beth Kephart says: "I recommend Mary Oliver's Owls and Other Fantasies, a book of poems and essays that includes essential, life-shaping poems such as "Wild Geese" (You do not have to be good...) and "Yes! No!" (How necessary it is to have opinions!...). Mary Oliver's poems fortify on the hard days. They shine a brighter light on the days that are already fine. You shouldn't grow up without them."
CM: Well obviously I have to get this book post haste. Personally, I came to poetry appreciation very late as high school killed it for me in every way that matters (all that analyzing of every single line over and over and over). But I have found it since I left college, first through the war poets I studied for teaching (Wilfren Owen and Sigfried Sassoon especially) and then I finally read Syliva Plath and there have been so many others since that affected me in so many different, and strongly positive, ways. Good poetry should be given to children and teens and they should be taught that enjoying it is what matters. I've just added Mary Oliver to my list for sure.
And this ends the year with What a Girl Wants. As I wrote above, Beth Kephart continues to be an author who amazes me on so many levels. Laurel Snyder's most recent title, Any Which Wall is actually in my column this month and a fun MG novel I can't recommend enough. Jenny Davidson's The Explosionist continues to be the SFF YA novel that I wish everyone would read - it truly blew me away. And Lorie Ann Grover. Well, good grief, where to begin with my friend Lorie Ann. She writes for teens and toddlers and she is (in my mind) the beating heart of the readergirlz. When I grow up, I will be as powerful and talented and compassionate at Lorie Ann. She makes my world better.
Actually, every single one of the ladies in the What a Girl Wants crew make my world better. (And I can't forget Mayra Lazara Dole who couldn't join in this time but whose coming-out novel, Down to the Bone is so bombastic and joyful and full of the Florida I know that I adored it). I started this project hoping to usher in some new content for the summer. We continued it because we all had so many things to talk about and wanted to keep the literary conversation for teen girls going. It will continue into the new year because we just like getting together this way each month. We will be talking in coming months about books and love (good and bad), woman scientists and other NF role models (or lack thereof), science fiction, suicide, depression and sports. We'll keep telling you what we think and we hope you will chime in as well.
It's all books and girls and a lot of literary goodness and I'm so happy to be hosting it here.

Future blogger
As you may have noticed, I'm taking a break from blogging for now (like I meant to when I made the announcement last summer). My little lady is getting into everything these days, leaving me hardly any time to post. It won't be long and she'll be posting for me (okay, so maybe she's already done that once or twice, possibly three or four times). Looks like I have a future blogger on my hands :-)
Speaking of future bloggers, Alicia Silverstone may have one in her future as well. Drop by The Kind Life and give her your congrats!

Daytona 500 Results
Congrats to Jimmie Johnson! It wasn't even close to my hoped for outcome, but he's now a Daytona 500 champion. That's a pretty durned exclusive group! At least now he'll have to park that winning car for a year at Daytona USA. ;-)
Here are the unofficial race results (courtesy of NASCAR) and the race coverage from washingontonpost.com.
What else can I say, watching from the grandstand in the Daytona Superstretch: It was cold and mistly. My favorite driver lost favor (to put it in the nicest terms) with the fans for tripping up Jeff Gordon early and Matt Kenseth midway through.
Fans of Dale Earnhardt Jr. were disappointed -- that seems to be about half of the fan base -- by his seventh-place finish. They're blaming Tony Stewart, too. What can I say? It's hard to defend the way he drove. The way he came down on Kenseth, whoops! In my heart, I can't believe he would do that on purpose, but I'm eating crow tonight.
It's been a logistical nightmare getting from the infield, back to my Superstretch seat, and back again. Sorry the blog has been dark so long today. I had no wifi, no working mobile phone coverage. I'll freeform in my next entry and tell you all about the great fans and great times we had, despite the chilly, misty weather.
Back in a flash with more.

That's a very nice, and very understated way to put it re: Tony. (Note my twin sister is a huge Kenseth fan and was incensed; I was a huge Tony fan until he has lately become too close to GWB - - IMHO the Worst President Ever). Is it possible that NASCAR pulled a truly fast one and switched drivers & teams during the race? I've watched every race & every lap since '97 and cannot honestly remember such an odd turn of events. Sorry for Kurt Busch, that was lousy driving by McMurray, but he did get his just deserts a few laps later. As much grief as the Shrub might get for his comments post-race, I tend to agree with him - let's just move on to the next race.

Tony Stewart didn't do anything that guys like Dale Sr., AJ Foyt, Lee Petty, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher and thousands of drivers haven't been doing for 100 years.
Of course, he comes off as a bit of a hypocrite from those Words of Warning last week, but your typical World Class Race Car Driver has a monumental ego, unshakeable belief in himself to bend the world to his will and justify whatever means he needs to use to do it. An army of sycophants praising your every move and word reenforce that psychology.
The truly great drivers who are able to perform feats of real magic behind the wheel tend to go over the line from time to time, and to regularly be in trouble with sanctioning bodies and race officials.
I'm not excusing recklessness, but I am saying that it's the nature of the beast.
Personally, I was watching Tony when he was driving USAC sprint cars on ESPN a long time ago (and reading about it in National Speed Sport News and On Track), and he is what he is. I knew he'd do well in the IRL, and I knew he'd do well in NASCAR because he's got "it".
If I were a team owner, I'd want him behind the wheel of my car more than any other driver out there, period. He's this generation's Dale Earnhardt Sr.; I wonder how many people have figured that out yet?

This gorgeous French-inspired kitchen has two zones: cooking and cleaning. The copper sink is used for food prep, while the fireclay sink is used for dishwashing.
Shelves were provided to display the homeowner's collectible treasures. The TV tucks away behind a vintage vestment cloth when not in use.
The Gothic shelves in the corners were sized to accommodate the homeowner's collections, including the antique pedestal fish bowls below them.
This Craftsman home offers a sunny front yard with seating for two, providing the perfect place to enjoy a casual meal.
This spacious walk-in closet provides ample room to keep clothes organized and readily available. A large skylight keeps the room bright highlighting the neutral marble floor, double layer hanging space and floor to ceiling shelf unit.
A bold red door leads into this Craftsman home. The small porch has room for a petite grill and two chairs, providing a spot to sit and enjoy the outdoors.
This neutral bedroom keeps it simple with a ceiling fan, a bed and a singular piece of framed art.
The grandfather clock, Windsor chair and chandelier infuse this simple dining area with Colonial flavor. Slipcovered chairs freshen the look and keep the room from feeling like a period piece.
Colors of birds' eggs inspired this guest bedroom with subdued blue walls and gray accents. This combo is a contemporary take on the timeless blue and white bedroom. Wood accents and chocolate lampshades add a masculine touch to the scheme, while a collection of birds'-egg antique prints reinforces the design inspiration.
Helen Richardson designed this traditional kitchen with warm wood cabinets and a neutral backplash and countertops.
Eastern-medicine student Stacy Kon remodeled the inefficient master bathroom of her Los Angeles home into this relaxing retreat every bit as spa-like as the spaces in which she practices one of her passions: acupuncture. A lover of all things blue, Stacy chose a refreshing shade of robin's-egg blue for the walls and ceilings, a good match with the white subway tile. A large rain shower head is mounted above the oversized tub, and a glass shower partition installed on a swivel bracket swings back flush with the back wall when the shower is not in use. When the shower is in use, the glass partition keeps spray from the showerhead contained within the soaking tub. Rather than extending the white tile for use on the floors, vanity and tub surround, Stacy opted for custom, cool gray concrete poured into forms made to size. Dark wood cabinets provide visual contrast to the light blues and grays.
Cozy and comforting, the master bedroom is designed to be a luxurious retreat. A brown and cream color palette creates a soothing environment, while bold geometric patterns keep the space youthful.
Rich fabrics and warm hues make this traditional living room feel upscale but cozy at the same time. Long drapes and textured walls add extra touches of elegance to the space.
This oversized sunken bathtub is surrounded by gold decor and a panoramic view outside.
A cream colored theme keeps this laundry room looking bright and open. Ribbed cabinet doors and a washboard wooden door add texture to the room. A cherry red washer and dryer pop against the neutral backdrop. Over the machines, a hanging rack keeps clothes from wrinkling.
The designers incorporated this backyard pool into the surrounding rural landscape by bordering it on three sides with grass and planting wildflowers in a poolside garden. A rustic fence adds farmhouse-style charm. Meanwhile, a pool house sits on the other side of the patio.
The designers wanted to incorporate this backyard pool into the surrounding rural landscape. To do it, they bordered the pool on three sides with grass and added wildflowers to the poolside garden. A rustic fence encloses the vignette, adding farmhouse-style charm.
This unused attic corner proves to be the perfect nook for a quiet retreat for the teenager of the home. Curtains and a drop pendant make the space feel private, and the bold cushions mixed with the comfy pillows makes it comfortable. Sherwin-Williams' Friendly Yellow paint adds a sunny touch to the walls.

Let's Reflect For a Bit
December 3, 2008 at 3:04 am 3 comments
So this was the first time that I ever had to work on Black Friday, subhanAllah what insanity! I never realized how hyped up people can get and all of it seems rather silly to me. I mean I work at Macy's, and honestly the prices really weren't that amazing, but the insanity and the way the customers were acting really were amazing. It's really sad, I mean here we are in an economic crisis, I mean I think that if we truly wanted to make a point I think that no one should've shopped on Black Friday. I think that everyone should've boycotted it to make a point. But instead people don't care and act immorally and just plain stupid, I think you know what I'm getting at, the man at Wal-Mart who got trampled to death, Ya Latif… Can you believe it? Doesn't that just scare you? I mean think about it, what kind of world are we living in? The people broke down the door, the hinges were broken off and people were rushing in like crazy and didn't even care about anything rather some made the comment that the prices weren't even that good, subhanAllah. I remember when I heard about it while I was working on Black Friday, my co-worker came up to me and told and I was just in total shock, and she asked what kind of world are living in? I really don't know what kind of world we live in. In a Target not too far from where I live someone took out a gun over a plasma TV, and at a Toys 'R Us someone took out a gun there as well. What is this? Why are we behaving in such horrible ways? We always say that we are better than animals because we have the power of reason and a mind that can think logicall, yeah right! I think animals are much more trained and have better adaab [manners] than we do. It's so sad to see people fighting over such materialistic things, why are we so materialistic? I mean ok, I can be a bit materialistic at times too. I do like shoes and purses but I don't go out all the time to go buy them and I buy them if they're really cheap. But I will not stand on line a day ahead to get something and then trample people and fight, where will this type of behavior get us in life? I mean yes, electronics can be expensive, and there may be some good deals, but I got my gateway laptop about a year or two ago for about $300 and it wasn't even on Black Friday and it works perfectly fine for me and I love it, its durable good speed, added some extra memory to it and hey did I mention its durable? [That's something that's very important for me.]
I mean we always complain about how the rest of the world calls us things or stereotypes us as things that we are truly not, but ladies and gentleman if we want the rest of the world to stop thinking that we are materialistic junkies and shop-a-holics we truly need to stop behaving this way. This one lady told me that this is her family tradition, family tradition?!? SubhanAllah, did they like run out of ideas or something? There are other traditions that they could've picked up on but why this one? Thursday night I was coming back from dropping my friend off to her house and I passed by a Best Buy at 9:30pm and there was already a line of people wrapped all the way around the store already! Why?!? This just doesn't make any sense to me. Perhaps it is because the way I was raised my parents made it quite clear to us that you don't need to buy everything in the world and they raised to want things like books rather than toys, don't get me wrong I mean sometimes I would get sad and think why can't I get a Barbie or whatever doll I wanted but I realized from my classmates that no matter how much toys you bought, after about a month or so you would want a newer version or some other new toy. So hamdulillah for my parent and the non materialistic ideas that they raised me and my siblings with, but I still can't understand any of this.
I guess I juss had to get all of that out; all of that frustration because I juss can't seem to wrap my head around any of this. I mean I started working in retail about 5 months ago and I realized that people get hyped over sales, and I'm not wealthy so I understand that getting low prices is important, but you really don't have to go through all this crazyness. I mean there's always a million clearance racks, and there's always coupons [and if you shop or work at Macy's you know that we have way too many coupons] so I juss don't understand why we are getting so hyped up and why we completely let go of all of our manners and turn into such wild beasts. I mean ok maybe there is a good price, but why are we all so obsessed with having everything that juss comes out? I remember when the i-pod came out, my whole entire school was, "Like oh my God, I need to get an i-pod," so they got the i-pod, a couple of months later a newer version came out, then they came up with the i-pod mini and then the i-pod shuffle and then newer versions of those and then the i-pod mini didn't even exist anymore. Then we got the i-pod nano, then we got the new version of the shuffle, then newer versions of those and of course we got them in color, then color on inside and out and then so on and so on. Today we even have the i-phone and the i-pod touch, I think that we are becoming materialistic slaves. Because the truth of the matter is that the older products aren't even bad, I mean I still have my i-pod mini which may be out dated and isn't even manufactured anymore but I love that thing, and like my lap top its durable, hamdulillah I only had to take it in once for repairs and apparently it wasn't even damaged it was because my i-tunes on my computer was like .1 too old for the i-pod to read or something silly like that. So now that I have vented and rambled on and on continuously, I juss have to ask you this, is this ok that we behave like this? Are you proud to be part of a society where people trample one another juss to get "good deals" or "unbeatable prices?" It kind of makes me sad and honestly a little scared [since I work in retail] that we live in such a society. Also, if you take part in this, do you want this to be something that is known as "a family tradition?" Is this something that is so important to you that it will go down as a "family tradition," ya latif I kind of hope not, but that is up to you. We all have to make our decisions and decide what is or isn't important to us. But this is definitely something that is NOT important to me, and I think that I would like to be alive to see the day that we all boycott this day, I think that would be a really cool day, a day that kind of says that we are no longer materialistic slaves, inshaAllah.
On a side note, finals are pretty much here, for me they start in about a week or two, not exactly sure which is probably not a good thing but khayr inshaAllah. I'll be posting again soon if not immediately after this for the du'as for studying.
Take care inshaAllah and some du'as please!
Allahumma sali ala sayyidina muhammadin an-Nabbiyil ummiyi Wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa salim.

I totally agree with you on this, that mob at Walmart was insane!
But just to present a different viewpoint of black friday: its not just about actually buying stuff and being materialistic. Going out in the middle of the night to stores is quite fun, even if you don't wan't to buy anything, everyone is out at such an odd time that its funny. I mean think about, whats not fun about staying up all night with family/friends and then going out at like 4am to random stores just because.
hm I guess I never really thought it about it like that, but I'm really not a fan of shopping so that's probably why.
Also, I guess when you have to work in retail, it all kinda juss makes you hate it all more…
But whatever makes you happy works :)
-radf -
interesting post, haha. it's all about nafs, our desires isn't it?
sometimes the discounts in stores can really challenge our nafs. i mean, u don't need half the things in there but u'd end up buying it anyway! haha
and yes it gets crazy. I saw footages of sales of wedding dresses and Astaghfirullah, it shows just how nasty we'd become if we give in to our materialistic wants.
May Allah help us control our nafs…

Water can be one of the most damaging forces to affect your home. Heavy rains and flooding often cause many problems that must be addressed by homeowners. Water intrusion on the roof of a home can cause serious damage to the roofing, insulation, attics, ceilings, and drywall of a home. It is often hard to identify water intrusion on the roof of a home, and damage may be done far before the homeowner has time to address it.
To combat water intrusion on the roof, it is important to regularly inspect shingles, roofing materials, and vents on top of the home. Any weak points or spots where water may seep in should be repaired, caulked, and covered to prevent intrusion. Insulation and drywall should be inspected for wetness and if any spots are found, it should be replaced immediately before hazardous mold can form.
Water leaking at doorways and window sills can be quickly addressed. Mop up any water that gathers on flooring, dry out or replace wet carpets and rugs, and make sure to seal the points of entry with caulk or weather-stripping. Outside, excess water should be drained away from the foundation and dirt should be used to fill in any holes where rainwater can gather.
Wind and sun can also cause damage to your home, so make sure to properly address the exterior to prevent weather damage. Roof tiles should be secured to the home and should be inspected for flaws or wear and tear. Shutters and exterior decorations should be properly secured to the home at all times. Sun-damaged siding can often be re-painted to give a more presentable outlook. Severely weathered boards or siding should be removed before further damage is caused.

Pantene has signed actress and musician Queen Latifah as a brand ambassador.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
CINCINNATI – Pantene has signed actress and musician Queen Latifah as a brand ambassador.
The Procter & Gamble hair care brand said Thursday that Queen Latifah will appear in its multichannel marketing campaign — including television and print advertising, in-store displays, digital and social media, and public relations — starting this month.
"Queen Latifah not only exudes inner and outer beauty, but she is a brilliant businesswoman who shines in every aspect of her work," stated Kevin Crociata, marketing director of North American hair care at Procter & Gamble. "We believe her strong, playful personality and passion for life resonates with women. Her honest and approachable attitude makes her a perfect addition to the Pantene family. Women really listen to her; her opinion matters."
Queen Latifah already is an ambassador for P&G's CoverGirl makeup brand and has her own CoverGirl cosmetic line, the Queen Collection. This month she is slated to debut her new talk show, "The Queen Latifah Show."
"Over the years, I've learned to be versatile when it comes to beauty and hair," Queen Latifah said in a statement. "Hair is an extension of who you are. As black women, we express ourselves through our hair, so we should have fun with it. But all women worry about keeping their hair healthy so they can enjoy it. I love that Pantene stands for health and that their products deliver on what they promise."

19 May 2003
ASTON UNIVERSITY'S graduate employment record goes from strength to strength according to one of the most influential league tables in the country.
The Financial Times newspaper's latest survey rates the Birmingham based university as having the best record for graduate recruitment in the UK. Of the 98 universities in the FT ranking, only Aston scores 100 points for employment.
This consolidates Aston's position over the last decade as the number one university to attend for those students looking to quickly make their first step on the career ladder.
Stewart Comfort, head of the school liaison and careers office at the University, said: 'Aston graduates are much sought after by major companies for employment in the UK and abroad.
'Employers recognise the high quality of our degree programmes and their relevance to business and the professions.
'More than three quarters of our students take a professional placement [sandwich] year as part of their degree which gives them a massive advantage over other graduates in the labour market.
'There is no doubt this is highly attractive to school and college leavers and one of the reasons why applications to the University are up so steeply again this year.
'Although we regularly top the tables for graduate employability what is particularly pleasing about this survey is it takes into account from which universities major employers want to recruit graduates,' Comfort continued.
'Being sought after by some of the UK's best companies proves that our students are particularly well equipped to meet the demands of industry.'
'We can now be very confident that Aston really is the place to study for those keen to start work soon after they graduate,' he said.

What makes a vital church service and a good Reader?
From the April 2004 issue of The Christian Science Journal
The whole thing about a really vital church service—the thing that keeps people's attention and creates a climate for healing—is freshness. You feel that at other churches, like the Baptist churches in our community. So why shouldn't Christian Science services feel that way, too?
I think a lot of it comes down to the freshness of the spoken word. The Bible was written based on oral stories, and so it's meant to be read out loud—with great energy and excitement and joy and revelation and meaning. It's the living Word, and it heals. The same goes for Science and Health.
Every time I read from these two books, it's different. "The scientific statement of being" This paragraph on p. 468 of Science and Health affirms the total spirituality of existence and is read at the end of each Sunday service along with a passage from I John: 3:1-3. is revolutionary, and it's constantly fluid. I figure if I can feel its freshness, its newness, and its unique power, then I'll read it that way—I'll read it a different way every Sunday—and the congregation will hear that newness and feel it.
This spirit is so much more important, I think, than never stumbling over a word. It's the spirit and active intelligence that enlivens a service. That's why people come. That's what makes them think. That's what they feel. That's what brings healing.

Former X Factor hopeful Carolynne Poole has landed a guest role in Emmerdale.
The stunning singer, who is married to Hyde footballer David Poole, will play the girlfriend of one of the characters.
She has already filmed her scenes and will appear in two upcoming episodes to be broadcast later this year.
Speaking to The Sun, a show insider revealed: "Carolynne is very sexy and will turn a few heads in the Dales. She filmed in the Woolpack and had a blast."
Carolynne appeared on last year's X Factor, with judge Tulisa Contostavlos predicting that she would make the final after she wowed the judges with her rendition of The Climb by Miley Cyrus.
The stunning singer never got that far though and made it to the Judges' Houses stage before being sent home. She also appeared in the second series of FameAcademy in 2003, where she finished third.

NEAR MERLIN, Ore. — Pet and livestock owners have been working this week to do whatever they can to protect their animals for the smoke that's filling the valleys of our region, including staff at Wildlife Images Rehabilitation Center.
The bears are taking it easy at Wildlife Images, so are the wolves. The ibis is taking the smoke in stride, and the otter is just looking for a handout. Other birds like the osprey and an owl appear to be nervous at the smell of smoke from local fires. So, special goodies are being distributed to help calm them down.
"We are very lucky, none of our animals have really been negatively impacted so far. More than anything that's been impacted is nerves. They're a little bit [antsier] than they normally would be, and again, that's where those special treats come in to try and make them comfortable and a little bit distracted," said Cory Alvis, the Wildlife Images Education Supervisor.
For most of the wild animals her at Wildlife Images, smoke is a sign that danger may be near, and some of them are just a little bit nervous. So far there doesn't seem to be any health problems. The biggest danger may be to the workers who are trying to take care of them.
"We've got a little bit of a break and a little bit of blue sky right now, but we're definitely encouraging people to take care of themselves, first and foremost," said Corey.
So, volunteers and employees at Wildlife Images are wearing face masks to help defer the effects of wildfire smoke. The summer school classes are moved inside when necessary, but the tent is covered with ash. In the meantime the animals are making adjustments.
"Wildfire smoke is probably not terribly uncommon for wildlife, however, they have the instinct to get away, so were trying to make them as comfortable as possible," said Corey.
For information on tours and donations for Wildlife Images call them at 541-476-0222.

General Info "The number of special education students (in New York State) has risen slightly to 410,000, or 12 percent of the total population." Hu, 1.
Source: Article in 'The New York Times.'
Evidence of Spatial Ability In an embedded figures test, 24 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and 25 typically developing control children worked to find an embedded figure within a larger image. Those with autism were "significantly better at younger ages, but the performance is more equivalent between the groups at older ages." At age 6, typically developing children took roughly 36 seconds to respond, while autistic children took roughly 22 seconds to respond. At age 16, the typically developing group caught up, both groups taking roughly 10 seconds to complete the task. (See graph in article for full spectrum of reaction times). Essentially, autistic children develop effective use of their spatial skills at a younger age than typically developing children. Edgin, 738.
Overall, several tests showed those with autism "are not generally superior across the spatial domain. Therefore, the present study has found evidence for intact, but not superior or impaired function in spatial processes across the autism spectrum." Basically, this can suggest that although autistic people have strong spatial capabilities in relation to the other capabilities they are lacking in. Edgin, 741.
Source: Article in the 'Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.'
A similar study, also involving an embedded figures task, came to a similar conclusion: "Hence, the good performance of individuals with autism is not distinctive in an absolute sense, but is good relative to their weaker performance in other domains." Mitchell/Roeper,13. This is called "Paradoxical functional facilitation," meaning that "a deficit in one of two neurological systems can lead to development of the other." Mitchell/Roeper, 24.
Source: Article in 'ESRC Society Today.'
Communication "Many now believe that communication is the primary disability in autism and that other behavioural problems are secondary." Cole/Arndt, 86.
Source: Chapter in 'Health-Related Disorders in Children and Adolescents.'
Comments on Thought Processes "There are some words I have immense difficulty in remembering the meaning of. These are ones that, for whatever reason, I cannot find a lasting spatial representation for…If I can 'spatial-ise' them then I can use them." Baggs, 2.
"The way I formulate language is spatial, and crosses all the sense… I talk about things being 'on different levels.' Some things are 'surface' levels, and others are 'core.' I want to know what is 'behind' something… I describe many things in terms of geometric shapes and concepts." Baggs, 1.
