Opinion split on Richard reputation
Few monarchs in history have been so vilified and scrutinised as King Richard III.
For centuries historians have put forward varying cases as to whether he should be remembered as a visionary reformer and brilliant administrator, or as an ambitious usurper and ruthless murderer.
The monarch is famous today for his death at the Battle of Bosworth, which effectively ended the Wars of the Roses - as well as the disappearance of his young nephews, and his derisory portrayal in William Shakespeare's play The Tragedy Of King Richard III.
But his reputation is surrounded by apparent myths and half-truths.
Described as "deformed" and "unfinish'd", jealous, and ambitious hunchback in Shakespeare's play, which was first performed in the 1590s, it is difficult to know if the man the playwright said battled on foot and cried out "A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!", is a true reflection of the king, or merely an act of creative dramatics.
These days loyal Ricardians battle to repair Richard's reputation but the traditional view is that Richard, while not as evil as Tudor historians said, was probably responsible for removing his nephews from the royal line.
Under a page headed "Loyal to the truth" on The Richard III Foundation's website is an extract that reads: "King Richard III is one of England's most controversial historical figures often associated with his quest to seize the throne of England.
"The prime sources of defamation of Richard are superstitious fiction, although this was not understood by some for centuries.
"The vilification may be absurd, such as two years in the womb, magically withered arms, and the murder of innocent babies, but it is repeated ad nauseum.
"It may take the form of ghosts passionately listing the wrongs of an evil king, regardless of their own dwelling in hell.
"Or it can take on a more sinister nature, such as what happened to Edward V, a query that moderns cannot positively answer.
"By blaming Richard for everything, (Henry) Tudor escaped blame for anything for two hundred years, until people were at last free to pose questions.
"Although it is obvious that Tudor had overwhelming motivation to spread malicious gossip and to smear a dead man, some cannot let go of even the most outrageous slurs."
The view from the Tudor side, differs somewhat.
Historian Suzannah Lipscomb wrote in a BBC online article: "It is not surprising that for centuries Richard III has been synonymous with evil tyranny and physical deformity.
"To argue otherwise has been to take on three of history's greats - Sir Thomas More, William Shakespeare and Winston Churchill, all of whom argued that Richard had been a man with a crooked back and a crooked life."

Emerging Talent: Thomas Czarnecki's Dead Disney Princesses — A Morbid Twist on Childhood Classics
28 Responses to Emerging Talent: Thomas Czarnecki's Dead Disney Princesses — A Morbid Twist on Childhood Classics
you know i might be being old fashioned but i really dislike this, he says in his interview thingy that there are two worlds – innocent and naive and the hard, truthful world, i think that those should stay separate, maybe i'm just being stupid but i just find these upsetting
Morbid is right. It's good work, can't deny that.
I dig it.
These fairy tales aren't all that innocent anyway once you go beyond the surface into their subversive meanings. In fact, that would make an interesting shoot: Snow White at a party with a face full of cocaine, Alice tripping on mushrooms, etc. Perhaps I'll put it on my to-do list.
If you WERE to take these stories at face value – ie. innocent fairy tales – they aren't great lessons to be teaching kids. The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Beauty and the Beast are all about Prince Charming coming to save the day. No room for independent ladies there.
At any rate, they're very well executed. I like the nod to Se7en with the air fresheners in the Sleeping Beauty scene.
I am really tired of seeing dead women, or violence against women in fashion photography. Great lighting or not, it's
anti women. Being disturbing is a cheap way of getting attention. Do not like it at all….. -
I wholeheartedly agree.
I am so NOT a fan of "dead girl photography" (which is, unfortunately, very prevalent — particularly in the fashion world).
It's unsettling to me (to put it mildly) –even after years of seeing it in advertisements and fashion spreads– that images of women who are face down and/or appear to have been raped and/or murdered are seen as anything short of disturbing. This kind of imagery is harmful to both women and men, as it would seem to encourage, or at least condone, violence against women. There is nothing 'glamorous' about rape, murder or even death.
I love it! Something most people don't realize is that these classic tales have been "cleaned up" in a sense for children. I feel like these photos bring back the darkness that's already in these stories that most people do not see because of how Disney portrays them. I also really enjoy dark twists on things, especially in artwork. Great work!
Reminisent of Les Krim's "stack of wheat cakes murders"…..
This isn't art. This is someone's fantasy. For the people who have approved of this they have probably forgotten that these are childrens fairy tales. It's about a little girl or boy seeing one of these cartoons and placing themeselves there by either being the valiant prince or the princess who lives in a giant castle. It always takes a demented and sick mind to damage that what is innocent. Hey Lindsey Huss. Regarding your comment "I feel like these photos bring back the darkness that's already in these stories that most people do not see because of how Disney portrays them. ". You're such an idiot. Darkness in the stories? Only those that are dark will see darkness in a cartoon like the little mermaid. You're sick too… and closed minded. It's bad enough that our children are being kindapped by monsters, real monsters to do unimaginable things, and now this. Sorry, You don't impress me one bit.
Many of the classic fairy tales did not have happy endings
Czarnecki's images may be technically proficient however his subject matter and composition serves to shock without providing commentary. His statement comes off as egotistical without illuminating why the princesses have been brutalized. Is there something about ourselves or our society that the viewer is suppose to gleen? I come away feeling sicken that staged images of sexually violated and murdered females is a new twist on the objectification of women. Enough. Don't leave your viewers at the scene of the crime, helplessly looking at the corpses of fairytale heroines. Violence against women isn't make believe.
"Violence against women isn't make believe" I agree completely.
I could have bought into the idea of bringing these children's heroes to a despicable end if it was to educate or draw attention to a problem that most girls are kept "blissfully" unaware of, but from his statement I just feel like he is using these images to assert some kind of creative elitism and being shocking for the sake of it. Not a worth while project in my mind.
Beautiful serie of photos and a nice idea. Good work
Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to
let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the
issue resolved soon. Thanks -

For thousands of years marriage has always been between a man and a woman for the purpose of creating and raising children to adulthood. I believe all of the major religions subscribe to this fact because it has proven over the years to be the most important influence in the continuation and stability of the family in society. You are trying to change the meaning of the word Marriage.
Civil society, namely the state, has approved a marriage ceremony for nonreligious people, still simply a man and a woman. So it could approve of a ceremony for two people of the same sex, (call it a civil union, a mutual agreement or whatever name you choose to give it) by which it could cover joint bank accounts, medical and life insurance, funerals and anything else normally covered in a marriage, but you must call it something else, you absolutely cannot call it a Marriage. The church and the Bishops are simply asking the state to give the civil ceremony for two people of the same sex another name besides marriage, because it is not the same.
The Catholic Church never has been a "democratic" society, subject to the many possible divergent views of its parishioners. It has always stuck to its commission from Jesus, who always insisted "he who is not with me is against me". He did not mince words. I agree with Mr. Hittner that recent happenings in the church with the scandal of a few of its priests has brought shame upon itself, but you must admit the tremendous amount of good done by all of the churches is an immense boost to society in general.
The movement that he talks about to get the marriage amendment on the state constitution is necessary to force the state to give another name to an agreement between same-sex couples. You can't call it Marriage! It's not a marriage in any way shape or form. If it's not in the state constitution, some judge, by his singular opinion could force his ideas on the whole state of Minnesota, against the wishes of its citizens. The idea is not to infringe on anyone's rights or privileges, but simply to call something by its right name.

Nannies and childcare assistants working in private homes in france could soon be banned from wearing headscarves, even when working at home, after a controversial law bill on secularism was adopted by the French Senate late last night.
If the text is subsequently approved by the country's national assembly, there will be a ban on wearing the veil for childcare assistants working in nursery schools (where the veil is already banned), in educational centres and in all facilities catering for children, as well as for nannies who look after children at home.
"Parents have the right to want a nanny who is neutral from a religious perspective," said the left-wing senator Françoise Laborde, defending the text, while debate raged in the Senate. The Green party voted against the bill, while the right-wing UMP party was divided between abstentions and votes against the text. (ANSAmed).
Many who object to this particual bill are uncomfortabble with the fact that it enters into regulating the private sphere.

It is now that our dream finally becomes a reality, the dream of being able to share our unique flavors, heritage, and culture through our food.
Come and Join us for a wonderful experience from start to finish!
To ensure freshness in our coffee we have decided that coffee be shipped to us within 48hrs of being roasted to ensure freshness.
From the Sierra de las Minas Biosphere Reserve, this coffee has a typically clean and bright flavor made famous by the best coffees of Guatemala. Light notes of apricot and ripe oranges are balanced by a subtle dark chocolate finish. The cup is very balanced and aliv
Flavor, obviously the most important characteristic of coffee, describes what a coffee tastes like, and how strong that taste may be. For example, a good Guatemalan coffee may be described as having a rich and bittersweet chocolate taste with undertones of citrus and spice. A coffee's flavor is influenced by its growing conditions, by its length of time in storage, by the type of plant it comes from, by the methods of processing or cleaning used, by the way it is roasted, and by everything with which it comes in contact. If any of these factors are less than ideal, you'll notice it in your cup.
A culinary revolution started with the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors at the start of the 16th century. Through them the Mayans and Aztecs would be introduced to foods like rice, chicken, beef, onions, garlic and wine. Incorporating these ingredients to the traditional Guatemalan pantries of chocolate, corn, tomatoes and vanilla resulted in the cuisine we know today. A diverse mix of bright flavors, appealing textures with an undeniable search for freshness.
Corn is one of the many staple foods of Guatemala. "Tortilla de maiz" (corn tortilla) is eaten with almost every meal, which is why at Café Kacao we decided to serve Homemade corn torillas with your meal.
Whether sweet or spicy, costly or economical its the use of fresh produce, simply prepared is what makes our food different from the rest. Whether it is the bright salsas made of chopped tomatoes and chilies, or carne asada which is skirt steak that has been lightly marinated before grilling, the food style of Guatemala is to keep it fresh and simple.
So what words describe Guatemalan cuisine? Versatile, fresh, simple, delicious. Guatemalan cuisine is about using what is available locally in a resourceful, uncomplicated way. The result of which is a style that is accessible to anyone with just a few key, raw ingredients or the desire to visit us at Café Kacao.
Why did we name our restaurant Café Kacao?
About 2 years ago when we were talking about a name for our restaurant we wanted a name that represented and or defined our culture as whole. After several discussions we decided to call it Café Kacao.
"Kacao" comes from the word "Cacao" which is chocolate.
The first people known to have made chocolate were the ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America. These people, including the Maya and Aztec, mixed ground cacao seeds with various seasonings to make a spicy, frothy drink.
The Mayans and Aztecs prized the cacao bean so much that they decided to use it as their from of currency:
It wasn't until later that they realized the flavor that this seed contained and started to drink it. The drink was only reserved for royalty because of its value; royal storehouses had vaults full of this currency.
Guatemala continues to be one of the largest exporters of the "cacao" bean.
We felt that the cacao bean represents the start of the economy of not just of Guatemala but of central and south America as well. The cacao allowed these countries to have one currency to promote trade and growth.
We can't keep ourselves from adding our own twist so we decided to use the letter "K" to give it a twist.
Our menu features homemade breakfast from south of Mexico, Guatemala and South America.
We have a strong focus on Guatemalan cuisine because we come from Guatemala. However we have menu items that are inspired by other countries like El Salvador, south of Mexico and Brazil. Our menu is a Latin Cuisine inspired menu.
Remember we feature imported coffee from Guatemala. Come and join us for a great homemade meal like grandma used to make.

I'm fairly new to Dottech, and l have used some the of the suggested /reviewed software that are given free in this website. Much appreciation to Ashraf or providing such a site.
Well, lets not delay any further, here's a freebie that i have been using for 2 years now. Its called PrimoPDF by nitroPDF software. I believe it's the only pdf creator that is a drag and drop feature to it. I use this for work purposes and it's a god send. You can even drag and drop pictures onto it.
Once installed you have the Primo Icon on your desktop and let's say for example you have a Word document that needs converting, just drag that file onto the Primo icon on your desktop and BAM!, it creates a new PDf without losing the original document.
You can also adjust setting to your PDf creation by double clicking the desktop icon.
I really think this should be placed on your site Ashraf, of course after you try/review it for yourself.
Hope you all like this one.

Throw in your names to keep the ladders updated.

Hey, thanks for the post! We're doing our best to keep things up to date. I'm currently running the update process for NA as we speak. In addition, I added another 350,000ish North American summoners this morning, so the ladder should be the most complete it's ever been so far. If you aren't added though, searching your name will add you. But thanks for the post.
Looking to support more regions soon. We'd like to support ranked teams at some point as well, but that's not quite on the radar yet.

its pretty sad that riot, such a huge company, cannot even update their ladders and that some random dude is able to do it edit: also thank you for the site edit2: wow 1800 is top 3000? lol
Had to scale up the database... which is unfortunate, because now it's going to actually cost something. Those random huge spikes of traffic causing the database to fall behind = bad, even with caching. But I don't want the site to ever seize up or lag like that. =(

Wow. It's my second last day here, in this part of the world, and I'm starting to feel a lot more love for my parents than ever before. I'm noticing how much they put up with me and look out for my best interests.
I don't fully understand it, since nothing significant has changed since yesterday. But I'm volunteering to help out a bit around the house, clearing the table and trying not to trouble them. I'm making conversation with them every now and then. If I were to be fully expressive, I might tell them I loved them.
Worst of all is that I'm starting to feel as though I owe them something. I feel like saying I'm sorry for not appreciating their efforts. I wouldn't be in as good a position as I am now if it weren't for their hard work to fund my education, and their raising me to be who I am. I wouldn't have considered that relevant a few weeks ago. If flying to the other side of the world is what is needed for me to respect them more, then I definitely made the right choice.
But tomorrow night at the airport, I doubt that they will notice that I care any more for them than I did in the past. I'm not one to show that sort of emotion, and I don't really know how without things feeling awkward. I wonder if that will ever change. I hope so.
It's always times like this that you appreciate your parents the most. Me, for example, when I left for NZ, I felt so alone, and needed them to know how much I loved them and missed them. However, after getting back on track of school, it gradually faded. It's just a phase. I still miss them, but not in a sad kind of way.
I'd say just follow your emotions tomorrow. If you feel like crying, do so, if you feel like saying 'I love you', do so. I'm sure your parents will feel you.
That's my 0.02c. Hope u have a nice trip! Write to us once you get to Dartemouth!

Fable father and former Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has heaped praise over Sony's efforts as a software manufacturer, though admitted he's slightly concerned over the company's endeavours on the hardware front.
Speaking with GI.biz, Molyneux, who quit the Microsoft-owned Lionhead Studios back in March, commented:
"Sony has always had a very strong first person line-up, which I think is incredibly smart. They've got good developers. They've got some very talented developers."
"The way I always feel with Sony is that if they double down on those first party developers, give them the headroom to be inventive and be creative, especially when it comes it any next generation platform, then they could pull lots of rabbits out of the hat," he added.
For Molyneux, however, it seems Sony is slipping up when it comes to hardware. PlayStation Move, he observed, appears to have fallen behind both Microsoft and Nintendo's efforts in the motion-sensing gaming space.
"I just don't know where they're going in hardware terms," he said. "They had the Move, but it wasn't as early as the Wii and it wasn't as innovational as Kinect. They seem to be third in line in that race. I have expected, every single press conference for the last year, Sony to bring out this magic rabbit out from a huge hat and say, 'Aha, world. You really don't realize what's going on.' And I do worry about them."
Do you think Molyneux has a pointed, PSU readers? Let us know in the comments section below.

Chef Paige Keeps Alive Shakers' Refined Cooking
At a New Hampshire museum, he cooks Chicken Loaf, Sage Cakes, and other dishes inspired by his mentorship with the sisters
NOT every chef swaps recipes with the Shakers. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in New York, Jeffrey Paige did just that.
As chef at the Creamery Restaurant in the Shaker's nearly 200-year-old Canterbury (N.H.) village, Mr. Paige did as much listening as swapping when he first arrived.
Eager to learn about their wholesome cookery, he spent hundreds of hours with the community's four remaining sisters, peppering them with questions on topics ranging from their reliance on herbs to their innovative use of wood-fired brick ovens.
The Canterbury sisters, who have since passed away, welcomed Paige's curiosity and took him under their care. It provided them a welcome break from incessant inquiries about the Shaker rule of celibacy - a favorite topic among tourists at the museum here.
Legacy preserved
Today, Paige cooks Shaker-inspired dishes such as Roast Spring Chicken with Tarragon Butter and Corn and Smoked-Cheddar-Cheese Pudding to guests who visit the community each year.
Since his cookbook ``The Shaker Kitchen: Over 100 Recipes from Canterbury Shaker Village'' (Clarkson Potter, $22) was published earlier this year, business is better than ever, Paige said in a recent interview. Sitting at one of the 16-seat harvest tables in the dining room where he serves visitors, the chef recalls his precious cooking lessons.
During the four years he was mentored by Shakers, Paige learned how to create such dishes as Eldress Bertha Lindsay's unique rose-water apple pie, how to make the most of seasonal ingredients, and how to dry fruits.
But most significant to Paige was the discovery that Shaker cooking rested on an attitude toward food and its preparation that merged grace, flavor, Godliness, good sense, and taste as one.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A transcontinental railroad is a contiguous network of railroad trackage[1] that crosses a continental land mass with terminals at different oceans or continental borders. Such networks can be via the tracks of either a single railroad, or over those owned or controlled by multiple railway companies along a continuous route. Although Europe is crisscrossed by railways, the railroads within Europe are usually not considered transcontinental, with the possible exception of the historic Orient Express.
Transcontinental railroads helped open up unpopulated interior regions of continents to exploration and settlement that would not otherwise have been feasible. In many cases they also formed the backbones of cross-country passenger and freight transportation networks.
In the United States of America, transcontinental railroads created a nation-wide transportation network that united the country. This network replaced the wagon trains of previous decades and allowed for the transportation of larger quantities of goods over longer distances. Construction by the Central Pacific Railroad and Union Pacific Railroad of the 1,928 mile "Pacific Railroad" link between Council Bluff,IA/Omaha, NE and the San Francisco Bay at Oakland, CA via Ogden, UT and Sacramento, CA connecting with the existing railroad network to the East Coast via ferry creating the world's first transcontinental railroad when it opened in 1869 was made possible by the Congress through the passage of Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862, 1864 and 1867.
A transcontinental railroad in the United States is any continuous rail line connecting a location on the U.S. Pacific coast with one or more of the railroads of the nation's eastern trunk line rail systems operating between the Missouri or Mississippi Rivers and the U.S. Atlantic coast. The first concrete plan for a transcontinental railroad in the United States was presented to Congress by Asa Whitney in 1845.[2]
The world's First Transcontinental Railroad was built between 1863 and 1869 to join the eastern and western halves of the United States. Begun just preceding the American Civil War, its construction was considered to be one of the greatest American technological feats of the 19th century. Known as the "Pacific Railroad" when it opened, this served as a vital link for trade, commerce, and travel and opened up vast regions of the North American heartland for settlement. Shipping and commerce could thrive away from navigable watercourses for the first time since the beginning of the nation. Much of this line is currently used by the California Zephyr, although some parts were rerouted or abandoned.[3]
The transcontinental railroad provided fast, safe, and cheap transportation. The fare for a one week trip from Omaha to San Francisco on an emigrant sleeping car was about $65 for an adult. It replaced most of the far slower and more hazardous stagecoach lines and wagon trains. The number of emigrants taking the Oregon and California Trail declined dramatically. The sale of the railroad land grant lands and the transport provided for timber and crops led to the rapid settling of the "Great American Desert".[4]
The Union Pacific recruited laborers from Army veterans and Irish immigrants while most of the engineers were ex-Army men who had learned their trade keeping the trains running during the American Civil War.[5]
The Central Pacific Railroad faced a labor shortage in the more sparsely-settled West. It recruited Cantonese laborers in China, who did prodigious work building the line over and through the Sierra Nevada mountains and then across Nevada to their meeting in northern Utah.
George J. Gould attempted to assemble a truly transcontinental system in the 1900s. The line from San Francisco, California, to Toledo, Ohio, was completed in 1909, consisting of the Western Pacific Railway, Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, Missouri Pacific Railroad, and the Wabash Railroad. Beyond Toledo, the planned route would have used the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad (1900), Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Railway, Little Kanawha Railroad, West Virginia Central and Pittsburgh Railway, Western Maryland Railroad and Philadelphia and Western Railway,[citation needed] but the Panic of 1907 strangled the plans before the Little Kanawha section in West Virginia could be finished. The Alphabet Route was completed in 1931, providing the portion of this line east of the Mississippi River. With the merging of the railroads, only the Union Pacific Railroad and the BNSF Railway remain to carry the entire route.
The completion of Canada's first transcontinental railroad, on November 7, 1885 is an important milestone in Canadian history. Between 1881 and 1885, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) completed a line that spanned from the port of Montreal to the Pacific coast, fulfilling a condition of British Columbia's 1871 entry into the Canadian Confederation. The City of Vancouver, incorporated in 1886, was designated the western terminus of the line. The CPR became the first transcontinental railway company in North America in 1889 after its International Railway of Maine opened, connecting CPR to the Atlantic coast.
The construction of a transcontinental railroad had the effect of establishing a Canadian claim to the remaining parts of British North America not yet constituted as provinces and territories of Canada, acting as a bulwark against potential incursions by the United States.
Subsequently, two other transcontinental lines were built in Canada: the Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR) opened another line to the Pacific in 1912, and the combined Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTPR)/National Transcontinental Railway (NTR) system opened in 1917 following the completion of the Quebec Bridge, although its line to the Pacific opened in 1914. The CNoR, GTPR, and NTR were nationalized to form the Canadian National Railway, which currently is now Canada's largest transcontinental railway, with lines running all the way from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Coast.
The first railroad to directly connect two oceans (although not by crossing a broad "continental" land mass[12]) was the Panama Rail Road. Opened in 1855, this 48-mile (77 km) line was designated instead as an "inter-oceanic" [13] railroad crossing Central America at its narrowest point, the Isthmus of Panama, when that area was still part of the northern province of Colombia from which it would split off to become the independent nation of Panama in 1903. By spanning the isthmus, the line thus became the first railroad to completely cross any part of the Americas and physically connect ports on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Given the tropical rain forest environment, the terrain, and diseases such as malaria and cholera, its completion was a considerable engineering challenge. The construction took five years after ground was first broken for the line in May, 1850, cost eight million dollars, and required more than seven thousand workers drawn from "every quarter of the globe."[14]
This railway was built to satisfy the need for a shorter and more secure path between the United States' East and West Coasts, a need triggered mainly by the California Gold Rush. Over the years it played a key role in the construction and the subsequent operation of the Panama Canal, due to its proximity with the water way. Currently, the railway operates under the private administration of the Panama Canal Railroad Company, and its upgraded capacity complements the cargo traffic through the Panama Canal.
A second Central American inter-oceanic railroad began operation in 1908 as a connection between Puerto San José and Puerto Barrios in Guatemala, but ceased passenger service to Puerto San José in 1989.
A third Central American inter-oceanic railroad began operation in 1910 as a connection between Puntarenas and Limón which was 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge.
There is activity to revive the connection between Valparaíso and Santiago in Chile and Mendoza, Argentina, through the Transandino project. Mendoza has an active connection to Buenos Aires. The old Transandino began in 1910 and ceased passenger service in 1978 and freight 4 years later... Technically a complete transcontinental link exists from Arica, Chile, to La Paz, Bolivia, to Buenos Aires, but this trans-Andean crossing is for freight only.
Another longer Transcontinental freight-only railroad linking Lima, Peru, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is under development.
The Trans-Australian Railway was the first route operated by the Federal Government.
In the 1940s, 1970s, and 2000s steps were taken to rationalise the gauge chaos and connect the mainland capital cities mentioned above with a streamlined 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) uniform gauge system. Since 1970, when the direct line across the country was all completed as standard gauge, the passenger train on the Sydney to Perth line has been called the Indian Pacific.
The proposed Iron Boomerang would connect iron in the Pilbara with coal in Queensland, so achieving loaded operations in both directions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by azwildcat Looks and works like new after 2.5 years
I used this with my first child, who is now 2.5 years old. I'm now expecting my 2nd child and will continue to use this. In fact, I never stopped using it. I used this to pump, I used this to breastfeed, I now use it for story time and singing lullabies. The pillow hasn't fallen flat for me and I use it every night for the past 2.5 years. The pulley that makes the chair recline works just like it did on day 1. It's modern, it's sleek and it fits in small spaces. Even after I'm done using it for my kids, it'll be a piece of furniture I own for a very long time. It's expensive, but worth every penny. I love that I don't have to buy and store a separate foot stool because of the recliner. I have zero complaints about this chair, though I wish it were cheaper. =) Regardless, I bought it anyway and don't regret it. I even bought it in white and it's as white as the day I bought it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BosMel Small footprint!
This glider is absolutely great. We've only had it for a short while so I can't comment on the longevity of the chair. The matching cushion also makes the chair very comfortable. I love that it's great for small spaces. The reason I took off 1 star was because the cushion does flatten out quite easily. Also, since the recliner operates by pulling a small loop on the side, it's sometimes difficult to get to (though this may be a good selling point since it will not be so easily accessible for children). The recliner folds back conveniently by slight pressure (sort of like closing the trunk of a car). I may worry about the springs over time though. I love that the glider does not move while reclined. Prevents clumsiness on my part! All in all, I would highly recommend this glider. It looks great. The clean lines will never go out of style!

Rated 5 out of 5 Modern, reusable and perfect for small spaces!
Our nursery is tiny but the Grano glider recliner fit perfectly! Its hideaway foot stool saved space, its sleek modern look completed our nursery and the best part is that we will be relocating it into our home for our use in the future. Everyone said we were crazy to buy white but the leather cleans up so well it still looks as good as new after many accidents.

LONDON – In the largest gathering of Muslims in London, thousands of visitors converged in the 6th Global Peace and Unity festival, enjoying a platform of various speakers, performers and service providers.
"The festival is packed with activities, from sports, competitions, game-shows, games for children, conference, nasheeds, concerts and much more," Mohamed Ali Harrath, the GPU chairman, told OnIslam.net.
Harrath was speaking at the two-day conference held at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre in Royal Victoria Dock, London, England and organized by the Islam Channel.
Multiculturalism Fills the Air (GPU Event)
According to the Global Peace and Unity's official website, the event, held on November 23, 24, is designed to promote dialogue and "global cohesion across all communities".
The gathering, which began in 2005, is the largest of its kind in Europe, drawing tens of thousands of visitors from 5 continents and 132 countries.
In addition to lectures by international speakers, the conference hosted other activities including an exhibition, stalls for promoting Islamic businesses and others for collection of charity donation, and evening nashīd concerts.
The meet has also seen highp-rofile speakers over the years, including London mayor Ken Livingstone, British MP George Galloway, Muslim scholar Jamal Badawi and Pakistan's cricketer-turnedp-olitician Imran Khan.
As the only event of its nature and size, speakers included the former Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, Rev Riah Abu el-Assal.
"We are part of the human race, irrespective of whether we are Muslims or Christians, we come from the same creator and we are called upon to protect that beautiful image of God in each and every one of us," he said.
Elsewhere, the Muslim scholar Yasir Qadhi was also present the event where he asked the question, "What exactly is the way forward for the Muslim community?"
"We are the moderate nation, we do not go to extremes, we are very angry at many things that are happening, at the double standards, but that anger should lead us to be pro-active, it should lead us to challenge those stereotypes, it should lead us to educate, it should lead us to become role models in all that we do, and our religion is a healthy combination of deen (faith) and dunya (this life)," he responded.
Serving Muslims
Along with a platform of notable international speakers, the event offered Muslims entertainment, services and advice.
"Muslim Care Campaign are being supported by the MCB (Muslim Council of Britain) and are here raising awareness of elderly care," Noor Shahzad said about the initiative to raise awareness of caring for the elderly.
"We want Muslims to have their say on care services for elderly Muslims in the UK."
A number of professional bodies were also represented, such as the Association Of Muslim Lawyers (AML), which coordinated and implemented a legal advice clinic at the GPU.
"AML recruited three of London's foremost legal firms, Imran Khan & Associates, Duncan Lewis and Docklands Solicitors who provided 25 lawyers giving free legal advice to over 120 people," said Amjad Malik QC, Chairman, AML.
The accompanying exhibition included a number of brands such as Ahlan Arts.
Their stand was made all the more interesting with an artist on-site to write names name in beautiful Arabic calligraphic script.
"We're basically an Islamic Arts marketplace, we've recently started up and we're promoting international artists around the world," Taslim Mawji said.
A group of high spirited Muslim volunteers has also worked to offer Muslims the best experience in their lives.
"I had no idea who any of the speakers were. So last night I spent a couple of hours yesterday and decided to built myself an app," Amhed Hameed, one of the volunteers at the GPU, said.
"GPU 2013 app has every speaker I knew was coming. Chose your speaker, it gives you a picture, and a brief description so I actually had a conversation starter."
Yet, like all Muslim gathering, the matrimonial services attracted a huge number of young Muslims, wishing to meet Mr or Mrs right.
Such was the success of the marriage program at the GPU that a number of people were unable to secure tickets to the sold out event.
"…And the third group of people who come to GPU, they're here to get marrrrrrriiiieeeed," Baba Ali said in his stage performance to be met with audience roars in laughter and embarrassment.

Topic : How Apple became the world's biggest Tech company? |

The iphone 4 got a preemptive teardown on Monday courtesy of CEO Steve Jobs at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.
Though a pre-commercial version of the iPhone 4 was notoriously taken apart by Gizmodo--and no doubt other meticulous teardowns will follow--there's nothing like an official peek inside by Jobs to set the record straight.
So, what's going on inside? Not surprisingly, one of the key goals is to pack more features and functionality into a smaller space: at 9.3mm thick, the device will be 24 percent thinner than its predecessor. And to make this point, an Apple video released Monday shows an animation of the Apple A4 chip package shrinking to accommodate a wider battery. This thin-and-wide battery motif can be seen across a number of larger Apple products, including the MacBook Air and the iPad.
And what about that A4 chip? Like the iPad, the A4 uses an ARM central processing unit, or CPU, designed by Intrinsity and manufactured by Samsung . The extra horsepower of the A4--compared with its slower cousin in the iPhone 3GS--and the accompanying graphics engine will help push around all of the additional pixels in the screen's high-density 940x640-pixel "Retina Display" --which has, incredibly, four times more pixels than previous iPhone models and boasts a 800:1 contrast ratio. The A4 will also be more adept at multitasking and video processing than prior Apple silicon.
The iPhone 4's frame uses a new grade of stainless steel that is much stronger than before.
Other notable internal features itemized in the photo include a Micro-SIM (not to be confused with Micro-SD), like the iPad, and 16GB or 32GB of Flash memory.
The iPhone 4's frame uses a new grade of stainless steel that is much stronger than before.
Apple is also touting the stainless steel enclosure and glass, which protects its precious internals. "A new grade of stainless steel that after machining is incredibly strong," Jonathan Ive, senior vice president of Industrial Design at Apple, said in the video cited above. "The steel frame functions as the antenna and primary structure, giving us more internal volume," he said. The screen's glass is "comparable in strength to sapphire crystal (and) about thirty times harder than plastic," according to Ive. Note that the glass is also used on the back of the iPhone 4, a testimony to its strength.
Additional notes: There is no data on the rated speed of the A4 processor in the iPhone 4 (yet). The A4 in the iPad is specified at 1GHz by Apple. Memory (non-Flash) is not specified either, though reports have speculated about capacities.
What do you think guys, will this iphone 4 will also be a success like its predecessors?
iphone's success is mainly due to its touch interface and audio qualities. other than that its an useless phone. hope better for this latest addition.....
iPhone has it's success thanks to the futuristic interface and the sexy look-and-feel of the system. Thanks to the name 'Apple' (as opposition of Microsoft) and the fact there is a sense of 'uniqueness' since applications have to be accredited before they can run on the iPhone, it is still as hot as ever. Microsoft's Windows 7 Phone will be a tough opposition since the number of applications that will come out is much larger. I think it will still be a success, if only to tease Microsoft. I think that if Apple would allow a version of Silverlight on the iPhone/iPad, that not much people would even begin to look to the Windows 7 Phone.

Boston Implements a Comprehensive Green Building Zoning Code
February 16, 2007
The Boston Zoning Commission has approved several amendments to the city's zoning code that require all major new and rehabilitation construction projects exceeding 50,000 square feet earn a minimum 26 LEED New Construction points. This level is the baseline for LEED certification with the U.S. Green Buildings Council. While Washington, D.C., is planning to implement a similar mandate within a few years, and other major cities are also examining ways to mandate a minimal threshold for public building construction, Boston's code change is the only one to affect both public and private construction.
"It's immediate and pragmatic, which is excellent, and it has support of the industry," observes Hubert Murray, AIA, principal of Hubert Murray Architect + Planner and 2007 president of the Boston Society of Architects (BSA). Murray testified on behalf of the BSA at a public hearing on the new code language in January. He explains that while Boston's zoning commission was initially wary of writing LEED requirements into legislation, it ultimately chose the rating system because it is the most widely used at this time.
While Boston's new regulations call for buildings to be certifiable, they do not actually require that property owners apply for certification. At least one person on the building team must be a LEED-certified professional and that person must ensure that the project achieves certifiable status.

Bismillah Alhamdulilah wa salatul wa salam ala rasuhullah Imaam ahmad rahimullah said to the hadith of Allaah's Descent to the lowest Heaven "We believe in it and affirm it without seeking HOW or its MEANING" The mufawidh love to qoute this in refutation to Ahluh Haq, Ahlus Sunnah, The noble Jamaah, the followers of the pious predecessors. However, we know that Imaam Ahmad rahimullah took the sifaat upon its apparent meaning. So one ask, Then why did he say 'or its meaning' Well brother abu zubayr explained this well, he also qouted ibn qudamah rahimullah saying the same thing but showed at the same time that ibn qudamah affirmed sifaat literally without tashbih. So he proved that by negating MEANING he did not mean the dhahir rather he met the meaning of the innovators. So lets look at another qoute from Imaam ahmad that also shows that his NEGATION OF MEANING was negating meaning that the innovators give to it. The explanation of imam ahmad negating the meaning is indicated by what he said in regards to the statement of Muhammad ibn al hasan's statement, "The schoalrs have unanimously agreed all of them from east to west upon having eemaan in the Quraan and the authentic ahaadeeth that have come from the messenger of Allaah salalahu alayhi wa salam pertaining to the attributes of the Lord without making an explanation (tafseer) of them, without describing them, and without making them similar to anything else (tashbeeh)" Imaam Ahmad rahimullah said regarding this statement that the meaning of "making an explanation of them" or tafseer, is the explanation of the jahmiyyah who make ta'teel. They innovatede a distorted explanation of the attributes in opposition to what the companions and their followers held regarding them of affirming them" (Al-Majmoo al-fataawaa, 5\50 and Fath al-baaree 13\407) MashAllaah this is exactly the path of the Salaf. So his negating meaning is not like those who make TAFWID. And this is clear from his qoutes affirming literally the attributes of Allaah aza wa jal.

as salaamu alaykum Unfortunately I dont i was taking it out of Explanation of a summary of al aqeedatul hamawiyyah of ibn taymiyah rahimullah by the noble Shaykh ul islaam Imaam Allaamah Muhammad ibn salih al uthaymeen rahimullah. I just extracted his qoute on imam ahmad rahimullah.
I will search for the book in Arabic insha Allah (explanation of shaikh Ibn Uthaimin rahimahu Allah) jazakallahu khayran
I think I found it in fath al Bari but not the exact wording above but close but I am doing more research on the topic. keep up the good work some of ur posts have led me to doing some research that resulted in discovering little treasures.
Assalaamu alaikum I all honesty, it is not advisable to refer to ibn Qudaamah with regards to asmaa was Sifaat as he does have the opinion of tafweedh ie making nafy of the meaning. We studied in the Jaami'ah that he considers the meanings of the sifaats from the 'Mutashaabihaat'. Just like Allaah said in the Qur'aan: ((0It is He Who has sent down to you the Book (this Qur'ân). In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations (majority) of the Book; and others not entirely clear (the mutashaabihaat). So, as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah, and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings except Allâh. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord." And none receive admonition except men of understanding. )) So there have been many different understandings of this Aayah, ie what is intended behind 'mutashaabihaat' and also, do the Ulamaa know the meanings behind them based on the saying of Allaah in the same verse: ((…but none knows its hidden meanings except Allâh. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord.)) Some Ulamaah said that you stop reading after "knowledge" so that the meaning is: ((…but none knows its hidden meanings except Allâh, and those who are firmly grounded in knowledge. They say: "We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord.)) So the point is, that ibn Qudaamah holds the first meaning to be the most correct (for reasons no need to mention here). So from that understanding he holds that Allaah alone knows the meanings of His Names and Attributes. However the correct opinion if we agree with ibn Qudaamah that the first understanding is the most correct it that Allaah alone knows the "Haqeeqh" or "reality" of his Attiributes, but as for the meaning in the words then they are clear. So Ibn Qudaamah made a mistake on this issue, but he is still a part of Ahlus-Sunnaah. There is a difference between someone making a genuine mistake and someone who deliberately leaves the truth. Just like a person who celebrates the prophets birthday. If he really did not know that it was not from Islaam then Allaah will reward him for his intention (not the action) and for his love he had for the Prophetصلى الله عليه و سلم (if that was the reason why he was celebrating it). However, once he knows it is wrong, then he become an innovator if he continues and receives sin for his opposition to the sunnah (the previous example I just brought can be found in ibn Uthaimeens explanation of a book by shaykh al-Islaam ibn Taymiyyah, but I forgot which tape number it was). As for what was narrated from Imaam Ahmad, then it is "mujmal" (ie has more than one meaning, none of them are more apparent from the other). It could mean the 'apparent meanings of Allaahs sifaat', it could mean 'the false meanings' as was stated in a previous post, it could mean the 'metaphoric meanings'. So it is not fair for anyone to use this statement and single out one of those meanings and raise it high as if it is the only meaning that it could be. However, if we look in Imaam Ahmads book 'A refutation upon the heretics and Jahmiyyah' we clearly see that he affirmed the meanings. He said upon refuting the Jahmiyyah: "…so when Allaah said ((We 'Ja'ala' it an Arabic Qur'aan)) this 'Ja'ala' means (refers to) an action from Him and does not mean 'Created' (like the Jahiyyah assume)" So as you can see from this quote, he affirmed one meaning and negated another ie that the Qur'aan is created. So in sha Allaah, if imam ahmad did make that initial statement, it should be clear that he did not intent negation of every meaning of the sifaat, but just the deviated meanings assumed by the people of innovation. Assalaamu alaikum
Ibn Qudama was 100% Salafi and a muthbit of Allah's attributes. Refer to the following article: Ibn Qudama and Tafweedh http://forums.islamicawakening.com/s...7&postcount=12 There is nothing wrong with considering the verses pertaining to Allah's Attributes from the Mutashabihat, as does Ibn Taymiyya in his al-Musawwada. It does not negate the fact that Ibn Qudama, Ibn Taymiyya and the rest of the Hanbalis still affirm the dhahir of these texts. Refer to the following for more info: Dhahir and Mutashabih http://forums.islamicawakening.com/s...4&postcount=21 http://forums.islamicawakening.com/s...9&postcount=52
Assalaamu alaikum Jazaakallahu khairan for your post, it was very beneficial. With regards to what I said (ie that he had with him tafweedh) then I made a mistake. What I heard from ulamaa was that he had statements that were in agreement with those who make tafweedh, but I mis-understood that to mean that he believed that. Upon revising what I had read before and reading brother abu Zubair's post, it became clear that he does make ithbaat of the sifaat of Allaah. For example, a fatwaah from the previous muftee of Saudi Arabia Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem started that ibn Qudaamah's statement in his book of aqeedah (lum'atul I'tiqaad) was the statement of the mufawwidhah and that it was wrong. However, upon reading it further, the shaykh affirms that ibn Qudaamah is far from the aqeeda of the mufawwidha and that his statement was a mistake and incorrect. This can be found in fatwa number 328 date 28/7/1385. There have been other statements that I read which gave me the wrong impression, for example ibn Qudaamah stating that sifaat of Allaah are from the mutashaabihaat (unclears verses). There is no problem saying that the verses of the Qur'aan that refer to Allaah's sifaat are from the mutashaabihaat, but the misunderstanding was when ibn Qudaamah held the opinion that none knows the meaning of the mutashaabihaat except Allaah. However it has become clear that what was meant was that none knows the reality and the how of Allaah's attributes except Allah. Also, in his book that brother abu Zubair quoted from above link (Tahrim al-Nadhar fi Kutub al-Kalam), ibn Qudaamah said: "إذا سألنا سائل عن معنى هذه الألفاظ قلنا: لا نزيدك على ألفاظها زيادة تفيد معنى بل قراءتها تفسيرها من غير معنى بعينه و لا تفسير بنفسه, لكن قد علمنا أنّ لها معنى في الجملة يعلمه المتكلم بها, فنحن نؤمن بها بذلك المعنى. من كان كذلك كيف يسأل عن معنى و هو يقول لا أعلمه؟ و كيف يسأل عن كيفية ما يرى أنّ السؤال عنه بدعة و الكلام في تفسيره خطأ و البحث عنه تكلف و تعمق؟" Which translates as: "If a questioner asks us about the meaning of these words (ie Allaah's sifaat), we say: We will not increase upon the words anything extra that give it a meaning, rather its explanation is it recitation (reading) without a specific meaning or explanation. Rather, we know that it generally has a meaning, which the one speaking it (ie Allaah) knows. We believe in it upon that specific meaning. So whoever is like that, how can he be asked about the meaning when he himself says that he does not know it? And how can he be asked about the 'How', when he feels [it] should not be asked as it is an innovation, and talking about it's explanation is a mistake, and searching for it is going too deep." So as you can see, this statement and others he has made seems problematic, especially when it keeps on re-occurring in different books. However, as brother Abu zubair rightly pointed out that in practice he does affirm the meanings. So we can maybe understand from his statements that he means by "meaning" the reality and the 'how' of Allaahs attributes. Jazaakallahu khairan brother abu Zubair for that correction. Assalaamu alaikum

AUSTRALIAN BLACK OPAL. Mineshaft has a large range of black opals.This page shows pictures of some of our black opal loose stones. These are from Lightning Ridge or from Mintabie Opal fields. Many have been found in our own mines and most have been cut by Peter.
For information contact us at email@example.com
Move the mouse over the 'about us' tab and click on the 'contact us'. Send us an e mail with what you want to purchase.
We accept PAYPAL for worldwide purchases.

This is a selection of black opal. Click on the image to enlarge.
More black opal from Lightning Ridge or Mintabie Opal fields. Click on image for a larger picture.
Here are four more Black Opals. Click on image for larger picture.
BLACK OPAL $100 BOXES. These boxes are incredible value. Just click on the image for a closer look. Each box contains between 8 and12 carats of beautifully cut solid black opals. These would have to be the best value black opals available anywhere. The opal is very consistent from box to box and each and every box has equal value of black opal. We will often sell several of these to the same customer in our shop. They are great as give-aways. We have many local silversmiths buy these for their jewellery
This Mintabie black opal weighs 24 carats and was mined from one of our early mines on the Old Field. It measures 38mm x 16mm so is quite large. The pattern is most unusual and looks a lot like the spiritual 'Uluru' only a few hours drive from our mine. It has a lot of red/Orange on a blue green base. The price is A$3,500.

This is a large freeform black opal from Lightning Ridge. It weighs 17.5 carats and measures 26mm x 22mm x 10mm. The price is only A$525 and would make a unique pendant.
This is a large multicoloured semi black opal from our Water Tank claim at Mintabie opal fields. It weighs 18.4 carats and measures 33mm x 11mm x 4.5mm. The price is A$5500 Click on the image for a larger picture.
This is a nice semi black crystal opal from our Water Tank claim At Mintabie Opal fields. It measures 26 mm x 6.5 mm and weighs 6 carats. The price is A$2400. Click on the image for a larger picture.
MINTABIE BLACK OPAL specimens, These are hard to get now having been mined many years ago. Nice specimens of Mintabie semi-black and black seam opal. These pieces come from a claim I mined at Goose's in Mintabie Opal field. The history of this claim could make a movie and is an incredable story you can read in a later chapter of Peter's story.

Make Mondays Better With 'Are You Tougher Than a Boy Scout?'
It's got adventure, humor, drama, and it makes Mondays better!
Tune in to the new reality TV show "Are You Tougher Than a Boy Scout?" each Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Central on the National Geographic Channel through April 1 (when two episodes will be aired).
In episode 4, "Where Eagles Fly," the Scouts and challengers will put their pioneering and shooting skills to the test. Tune in to see who comes out on top!
The "Tougher" Web page (www.toughscout.com) features show information, and you can help build local buzz by posting this week's trailer on your website, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and any other social media.
This show is a great opportunity to showcase the great character and leadership skills that are developed in Scouting.
3 Responses to Make Mondays Better With 'Are You Tougher Than a Boy Scout?'
I love watching Are Tougher Than A Boy Scout, however, I don't enjoy watching the fat out of shape scouters try to be tougher than a teen age in shape Boy Scout! I mean what is that? It's like saying, here is what you are going to look like when you are older, Fat and out of shape! Give the boys a real challenge, show off the boys real Eagle Talent! What they have worked hard to achieve! And do it against men who are not as heavy and ready to keel over out there in that hot desert sun!
As a general rule, we do not like reality shows, but we have certainly enjoyed the "Tougher Than a Boy Scout" series. Keep up the great work and keep the show on the air.
The show is good, but like everything it could be better. I think that it would great to have different Scouts on each episode. The Scouts that they use on each show are always the same, and while they are really great Scouts, they are always the same! Lets get more boys involved so people in all parts of the nation can see boys from possibly their own home town. Think of the recruiting possibilities.

Marco Rubio Selling Water Bottles... For Real!

The senator appeared sweaty and flustered before reaching for a bottle of water placed too far away. Rubio then took a swig from the bottle of Poland Spring and the moment became an instant Twitter hit and the impetus for some good memes -- heck, even the Poland Spring company got into the act by posting this on their Facebook Page:

Why is Winter Lasting So Long?
It's the end of March. The cherry trees in Washington DC are blooming. Yet, last night, four inches of snow fell. This is ridiculous. Every time we get a little warm weather it turns around and snows. In case you can't tell, this is my complaint about the weather.
I can recall some years where it was seventy degrees in January here in Michigan. Sure, it got cold again. As I remember, we even had some years where it was twenty below for weeks at a time. The weather is variable. Still, it should eventually warm up, right?
This last snowstorm was no big deal. It's almost all melted now. Still, it's supposed to be Spring. There is more rain and snow on the way. I feel sorry for all the people who are being flooded out this year. Nobody should have to put up with twelve inches of rain. No, it is not global warming causing the weather to be screwy. The weather is just messed up because it is the weather.
We live on a water-cooled planet. The water in the oceans provides a means by which the temperature of the planet is regulated. If it gets too hot, more water evaporates from the sea. More evaporation means more clouds. More clouds cause more sunlight to be reflected back into space. Less sunlight being absorbed means cooler temperatures. Thus the temperature of the planet is stabilized. All this evaporation and condensation makes a mess out of the surface of the planet. Without the water cycle, however, plants could not grow. No plants, no food. No food, no life. We have to put up with the lousy weather because it is the weather that keeps us alive.
I really shouldn't be complaining about the weather. I have a house to live in. I have dry clothes and a roof over my head and four walls and a floor to keep the weather out. That doesn't mean it isn't nice to go outside and soak up some of the heat from the sun that is causing all the evaporation and precipitation. I'm just sick of winter and clouds and snow snow snow.
