*** Welcome to Al-Furqan Primary School ***
Al-Furqan promotes the values of:-
- Equality amongst all races and cultures.
- Respect for all faiths.
- Care for oneself, all people, animals, other living things, environment, own property and other peoples property.
- Being mindful of our accountabilty to Allah (s.w.t) at all times.
- Aspire to reach our full potential at all times and in all aspects of our lives.
At Al-Furqan we believe that these values form the foundation of the five pillars of Islam upon which the Islamic Belief stands. The five pillars are as follows:-
1) The Declaration of Faith - To make this commitment one needs to care and have a desire to develop an understanding towards what they observe and feel.
2) Five Daily Prayers - Whilst praying all Muslims, irrespective of race, colour, culture, creed stand shoulder to shoulder with respect for one another facing in the direction of Kabbah in a clean place.
3) Fasting in Ramadan - Amongst many things, Fasting teaches self-control which requires a lot of courage.
4) Giving Zakat - This is a pillar of Islam which cannot be fulfilled without care and careful thought as to who is the neediest and therefore requires the most help.
5) Hajj - Hajj cannot be completed without respect for others, a belief that Allah created all human beings equal, and a deep sense of care for the environment, animals, plants and other people's property.
"The aim of Al-furqan is very simple; we seek to provide a caring, secure, happy Islamic environment in which every student can discover and realise their full potential."

Xi'an is home to the world-famous Terracotta Warriors Army and Horses, one of the most significant archeological excavations of the 20th century. This full-day tour offers you the opportunity to explore the site, where 7,000 of these life-sized figures were constructed to guard Emperor Qin Shihuang's tomb. You'll also visit the Banpo site (home to artifacts of a Neolithic matriarchal community).
- Xian tour to the Terracotta Warriors Army and Horses
- Get up close to Emperor Qin's Mausoleum, the site of the Terracotta Army
- Visit the Banpo ruins dating back 6,000 years
- Enjoy a Chinese lunch
- Friendly and informative guide
What You Can Expect
After your visit to the Terracotta Warriors site, enjoy a traditional Chinese style lunch. Then, you'll head to the site of the Banpo ruins. Dating back about 6,000 years, Banpo was a typical Neolithic matriarchal community. At that time, the Banpo people used tools made primarily of wood and stone. Women, the crucial labor force, were responsible for making pottery, spinning, and raising the family while the men fished. These ruins of a Banpo village was discovered in 1953, when 45 houses, six pottery kilns, 200 storage pits, 250 adult's tombs and children's burial jars, and 10,000 tools and utensils were unearthed.
Customer Reviews
October 2014
A fantastic day trip. There were only 3 of us and our guide was very informative. We had plenty of time to view these amazing statues and to browse the shop. I'd highly recommend this tour
September 2014
I joined a group of 7 others from several countries, and totally enjoyed my day viewing the Banpo village and the Terracotta Warriors. This is the reason most people will go t Xi'an, and the knowledge of a good guide can make it much more interesting. I've wanted to see these statues since I was a little kid, and even though it was busy, if you are patient you can great some great photos. I bought 2 ten inch high statues from the pottery/workshop where you can see how they are made - these are much better quality than the 'tourist' shops stuff. They added a third for free. I fully recommend this tour.

In the Gita Krishna tells Arjuna, "Don't be uncertain, indecisive. Be certain and decisive. Use your decisive intelligence and know for certain who you are, what you are. Don't be indecisive as to whether you are a kshatriya or a brahmin, whether you are going to fight or you are going to renounce the world and take sannyas. You have to be clear and decisive about your basic role in life. Indecision splits one into fragments, and fragmentation leads to confusion and conflict, to grief and disintegration. Then you will disintegrate, you will perish."
The word sanshaya in the Gita has been taken to mean doubt, and therein lies the whole confusion and mistake. I am in support of doubt, but I don't support indecision. I say it is good to doubt, that skepticism is necessary. And Krishna, too, would not deny skepticism. He stands by skepticism, and that is why he asks Arjuna to put his questions again and again. To raise a question means to raise one's doubts. But at the same time Krishna warns him against indecision. He tells Arjuna not to be indecisive, not to remain in conflict and confusion. He should not be incapable of deciding what he should do and what he should not do. He should not get bogged down in the quagmire of either-or, either to be or not to be.
Søren Kierkegaard was an important thinker of the last century. He wrote a book with the title, Either-Or. Not only did he write a book with this title, his whole life was the embodiment of this phrase, either-or. People in Copenhagen, his birthplace, forgot his real name and called him only "Either-Or". When he passed through the streets of his town they said to one another, "Here goes Either-Or." He would stand a long while at a crossroad, thinking whether he should turn to the right or to the left. After inserting a key in the lock he took long to decide which way to turn it.
Søren Kierkegaard was in deep love with a woman named Regina. When Regina proposed to him, for his whole life he could not decide whether to marry her or not to marry her.
This is indecisiveness, not doubt.
Krishna admonishes Arjuna not to fall prey to indecisiveness, because it will destroy him. Whosoever becomes a prisoner of indecision inevitably falls to pieces, because indecision divides one into contradictory fragments, a sure way to disintegration and ruin. Integration is health, and it comes with decisiveness. If you have ever taken a clear decision in your life you must have immediately become integrated in that moment. The bigger the decision, the greater the integration. And if one comes to a total decision in life, he has a will of his own, he becomes one, he attains to a togetherness, to yoga, to unio mystica.
All of Krishna's effort is directed toward eradicating indecisiveness, it has nothing to do with doubt. He says, "Doubt fully, but never remain indecisive." I am fully in favor of doubt. Doubt you must. Go on using the chisel of doubt until the statue of trust becomes manifest. Keep chiseling from the rock, with the hammer of doubt, the foreign elements that have entered your nature, until you eliminate the last of them and nothing remains to be eliminated. Then the statue of trust will appear in its full splendor.
But remember, if you continue to use the hammer of doubt even after the statue has manifested, you will injure the statue, you will hurt your own being.

all you people are asking is leave and leave. that is simply to avoid problems , why not let them create a national army, secure that border which pakistan is using against everyone. convince the taliban to give it up or they will be dead by American forces or afghan national army. then leaving might make sense for now everybody just relax , if they leave tomorrow one year from now . there will be a guy with a bomb in his pants at NY or Toronto Airport.
Afghans want American money but not American interference. Very simple really, Afghanistan for centuries has been like this. pay us and leave us alone and we will get along great.
This is not a Pen Name: I would say the country was much like you say in the major cities and overall in comparison to today a peaceful country, but still dirt poor and fighting on low levels throughout the country for all those decades.
How did they do it? heavily decentralized power, subsized by Soviet and American aid and infrastructure projects.
Afghanistan has always has and always will be a leech.
What Afghans want is Justice, which they have never got. Those who have been accused for war crimes and crime against hummanity are supported by the USA and the coalitions forces instead of taken to responsibility to all the damages the have cuased and the blood the have shadet. The real question to ask is. Does USA want a peacefull Afghanistan. Or do they really want to fight and distroy Taliban. Most afghans are very pesimist to these questions. If they really wanted to build an stabel and peaceful afghanistan they would have never sacrificed justice to buy them selvs in. Who cares for want Afghans want. while The US authorities time after time has emfasised that they are in Afghanitan to secure USA. So the titel for article should be "Fighting on US citizen behalf, who cares for what afghans want"
Kingfisher Brewery
We all agree that the situation in Afghanistan is bad and the agreement stops there. The moment one goes into the reasons behind or how to redeem the situation, it is like the six blind men of Hindostan who mistook parts of the body of the elephant to be the whole, we all have favourite reasons which we feel are the only valid reasons. For what its worth my contribution to the same.
The basis reason for the current mess goes back to how the war against Taliban was mounted and won(was it?). It was not a military defeat of the Taliban since most of the middle level Taliban/tribal leaders were just induced to desert and suddenly became good guys. A good portion of the foreign Taliban fighters got away ( or as in the case of Pakistani Taliban were allowed to get away). The victory being so hollow, could in no way ensure peace not to talk about democracy/freedom etc.
When people think of Afghanistan, they think that it is a country of War, Chaos, Anarchy, Poverty, Crimes, and many phenomena. To an extent it is true, even it is common anywhere in the world, but it can not hold true.
If the international society leave the afghan government to stand on itself, things will automatically change...
In fact, since 3-4 decades this country's situtation is in a flactuating manner. Sometimes well and somesimtes bad. These are all due to the interference of other countries.
Millions of Dollars have been spent but no significant development has taken place.
(Who is Who?)is not clear in Afghanistan. Nobody knows who are the Taliban....(Do they exist with power?) is another doubt..if yes who supports them....they cann't support themselve????
What do Afghans want? How about security, greatly reduced corruption, economic development and no foreign occupation, probably in that order. In other words, most of them want to be left alone to live their lives.
The problem is how you get there. The Karzai regime is corrupt and untrusted, the Taliban is just plain evil and feared much more than loved, the US/IFAR are largely viewed as foreign occupiers (who will leave) and there are no real viable alternatives.
While I understand to some extent the anti-American sentiments on this issue (and the US really messed things up by going into Iraq instead of concentrating on Afghanistan when people were actually generally glad to be rid of the Taliban), it's pretty naive to think things will get better if the US/IFAR just leave. Afghanistan will just go back to civil war between drug/warlords and Taliban fanatics.
Don't forget the Taliban have intentionally killed many more innocent Afghans than the US/IFAR forces (not to mention doing such productive things as blowing up schools, killing teachers and banning music). Is that better than having foreign troops in country?
I agree with This is Not a Pen Name, the global communitry has a responsibility to try, both for the Afghan people and to prevent the likes of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda from regaining a base to attack all of us (including the US, Europre, Russia, China, Pakistan, India, the Gulf States, Iran, etc. - all potential targets of their fanaticism).
Bush attacked Afghanistan on the flimsiest of proofs and in adolescent revenge for the 9-11 attacks. And since then it America, and its pals (read poodle Britain and a bunch of closet racist eastern European brown nosers) have bombed, blasted, murdered and brutalized what was left of the countries population. They also installed a photogenic puppet strongman paid for by drug money and they did all this in the name of liberation and enduring freedom ha, ha fucking ha. Remember all those cloying (Polly Toynbee-esque editorials) about women's rights and veil wearing and girl's schools.
So then The Economist we don't know what the afghans want eh, well for what it's worth, I would make an uneducated guess that today probably even the most ardent Afghan feminist would prefer that her little girl missed school and wore the full burka than ended up as a bit more collateral damage in Americas risible drugs (read war on terror.)
Only a few decades ago, Afghanistan was a progressive democracy in the midst of Central Asia. This fiercely independent and deeply religious people combined their love of tradition with a respect for the rights of women, universal suffrage and civil rights, at a time when the United States of America was still undergoing regular race riots, and even a regrettable incident where university students at Kent State were gunned down by frightened National Guardsmen.
It was regrettable that the international community allowed the 1978 coup, disgusting that the world did nothing to aid Afghanistan in the 90s -- after Afghanistan spent over a decade bleeding to fight a war against Russia on behalf of the West -- and an absolute travesty that violent thugs and religious extremists were allowed free reign to oppress and brutally murder the people of Afghanistan for nearly a decade. Allowing it to happen again would be inconceivable.
If there was anything that George Bush ever did that could almost possibly be called unequivocally good, it was his decision to intervene in Afghanistan. But, of course, he waffled the follow up so badly that the unfortunate people of Afghanistan were forced to spend yet another decade in poverty and suffering.
While it might seem hard for the people of the developed world to continue sending their children -- and their money -- into the wilderness that Afghanistan has become, it's the least we can do for a people who have suffered so much as a result of our inaction.
If the West were to abandon the people of Afghanistan now,
Things there are bad. They're really bad. Even the people of Afghanistan are losing hope -- and as a result they're starting to work with the groups they think will take over when the West retreats with its tail between its legs, in the hopes of being forgiven for their delight at the fall of the Taliban, and their decade of fruitless assistance to a life or death cause that barely registered on the news programs of the West. It might not even be possible to turn things around with the 11th hour putsch the West is planning. But, you know what? At the very least, at the absolute least, we have a responsibility to try.
Good luck, Afghanistan.
Thats not so hard to understand
Listen to anybody who had fought russians (the role-model for youth) as one boasts how many he had killed. In his words you hear all his life experience. He has his gun, his land and his tribe. He dislikes US, Karzai, Taliban, human rights groups telling him how to treat his wife and inspectors telling that growing opium is amoral(grandparents of our grandparents did). Their message is simple: DONT MESS WITH US!
Surely in such a society there always are depressed, that want to eat and rivals making blood feud. But that's natural. I doubt that 1% os IED is made by Taliban, probably by local strongmen deprived from power or at least with their notice.
Some reports like this
What US is trying to do creating artificial strong central power? It's a good thing to show to voters and international community, but bodes ill with their society. US needs a country that doesn't host al Qaida and it'll be wiser to create some sort of social contract 'We dont mess=you dont host our enemies' and punish those unwilling to enforce such policy. All this grass-cutting, human rights and nation building go to hell.
What the Afghans really want is the US to leave. After fighting for so many years with so many advanced weapons, the US is still unable to eliminate Taliban. There is only one reason: the Taliban must have serious local supports (despite of all the Western propaganda about how the local dislike them).

Mr Gomezcat, Your dinner is ready. In fact it has been ready for the past 29 hours. I have been calling you but you have not spoken to me or reacted except to elbow me out of the way when I tried to turn your PC off. I have resorted to this tactic in desperation that you might waste away or starve to death whilest discussing this training camp thing. Yours in desperation, Miss Gomezcat (football widow)
Re: Dinner Is Ready Mr Cat!!! You made dinner at 8.15 am? Yikes! I've always found that "your dinner is in the dog" (or, in your case, I suppose, "cat") will get their attention...
Re: Dinner Is Ready Mr Cat!!! Hate to say it, but I think he's cheating on you. Look under his computer desk to find the "fish and chip" wrappers. It's the tell tale sign.
Re: Dinner Is Ready Mr Cat!!! Definitely a sticky...I'm still waiting to hear if Ms. Gcat met up with FBN on her trip to Denmark...it's clear that the threat of her diplomacy is the only reason we have T-shirt dynasty back...though the upside to that does require some pondering...I hope she used brown rice for dinner!
Re: Dinner Is Ready Mr Cat!!! This post is an INSTANT CLASSIC....... We have gone from scouring every blog, newspaper and on line site for a tidbit or a crumb of news to a veritable bonanza. Good thing they start on Fridays so we have the weekend without work to read everything. Red Sox season is over, it's Patriots time now. Football is baaack baby!!
Re: Dinner Is Ready Mr Cat!!! Looks like there is no escaping the SO even on the internet. Better go eat before it gets worse!
Condolences accepted Mrs. GCat, Mrs. PatsFanInVa says to tell you she knows exactly how you feel. Then she hit me in the head with a rolling pin. PFnV PS, okay not really. That's just my favorite marriage phrase.
Oh come on, fgs, you know you like to be challenged by long meandering posts with too many possible main points. Okay maybe not, I just love writing them. Now that my life as I know it is over, indulge me... PFnV
Actually, you know it brother...your contributions here are highly valued and appreciated. I wish I was able to write 1/2 as well as you are.
Hey man, you do indulge me, and I will gladly accept it. I'm just happy to be around such an info-rich fan board.
Thank you for your concern gentlemen. I was considering slipping Mr G Cat a little something to distract him from the forum but in the end I didn't need to. He went and did it to himself with several pints of good English Ale and is now protesting his sobriety over a burger and chips (French fries to you lot) from the local chippy. BTW I didn't manage to find FBN in Denmark, mainly because our Danish hosts kept us too busy with work and lots of good Danish food and beer! Denmark is a lovely country, very clean and sane and pleasant. Shame the beer is so expensive - about ÂŁ4 for a 'medium' glass! I'm off to steel some chips. PS there is no excuse good enough for spending your wedding day on the forum.
Hey, did you see me make an excuse? As long as MrsPFnV is happy, I'm happy. And she's thankfully an uncommonly longsuffering woman. Beyond that, she knows if I'm not posting here, she has to listen to me talking at the same length at which I post. :rocker: Yeah having an English degree is not as effective as an MBA in the work world... but you can get all kinds of perks out of verbosity (or the threat of verbosity) in everyday life. Tediously, PFnV
I am delighted to read and ponder your verbosity, and pleased my sacrifice also spares Mrs. PFnV from football tedium! How devastating to read Ms. Gcat was prevented by a beer price inflating Danish government from meeting FBN during his life change upgrade at the lifestyles clinic. My savage side so wanted to read headlines of an eye scratching, hair pulling brawl as you settled with that Gcat stealing deva. Somehow, reading notes on chip stealing just doesn't carry the same level of excitement, but it is a well deserved torment for the young scoundrel. However, I do appreciate how your diplomacy efforts in Denmark (just how drunk were you?) triggered the release of our, um, beloved..., T-shirtdynasty from those poor confused Aroostook Freedom Fighters.
Mate, you are soooooo lucky. Talking of which, my woman has been really quiet over the last couple of days. Has anyone heard from her? I've been so busy looking at Training Camp stories. :rocker:

Kilimanjaro: Tucker & Team Visit Masai Village
Posted by: Mark Tucker | August 01, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
After a glorious day game viewing in the Ngorongoro crater, the team made a stop by a Masai village.
We received the full tour and were able to help support the local economy. These folk are tough. Who is to say what life you live is better than one or another, I can sure tell you it is a different sort out here in the bush than most of the USA.
Our plan is to pack up in the morning and drive about an hour and a half to our next park, Tarangire National Park. We will be on the look out for the elusive leopard. Our safari staff has promised us a barbecue in the bush and we are looking forward to that. We end up in a tented camp tomorrow night and I can tell you I know tents and this is as far from any tent I ever stay in. Lets just say a king sized bed, toilet and shower are not the norm after I pitch a tent.
Once again the word is out….......Roughing it in Africa is all relative.

Re: Thursday Service Plays
W Kentucky over 150 (HEAVYHITTER)
North Texas Mean Green Eagles at Arkansas State Indians - Arkansas State +1.5 -110 | Unit Value: 2
Note: We have some very interesting trends for this game. The Road team is 9-1 ATS last 10 in this series, but the Underdog is 8-1 ATS the last 9. That pretty much means that the Road team has been pegged the Dog in the last 9 meetings. So why is North Texas favored here? It is primarily due to perception of who is the better team and that perception says that the Mean Green are. However, we must not forget that the Indians have been without their superstar guard, Adrian Banks for a long time. He has returned and with him he brings over 20 points per game. This guy from Memphis, Tenn is the real deal and he showed that last game out verses Arkansas Little Rock as the Indians drubbed that better than average squad right here in Jonesboro. This court has been very kind to Arkansas State this year as they are 7-1, losing only their first game. They have done that mostly without Mr Banks. These teams are similar in that respect with North Texas possessing a perfect 8-0 home mark but just 1-4 when they have traveled. The Eagles do have the advantage in the interior and they will try to use that to their advantage. Ark State is going to have to be patient and get good shots but they are very good at doing that and have great guard play and great passing skills. That has allowed them to hit a marvalous 40% from beyond the arc and even better than that here on the homecourt. One can look at the 10-4 North Texas Record, and the 7-7 Ark State record and conclude that the Mean Green should be favored. The Oddsmakers did just that. They are wrong. With Banks back in the Teepee, this Indian team is the better proposition tonight

10 Dime: STANFORD (minus the points vs. Oregon State)
10 Dime: PISTONS (plus the points vs. Spurs)
5 Dime: WISCONSIN-GREEN BAY (plus the points vs. Butler)
5 Dime: UC SANTA BARBARA (over U.C. Irvine)
We're only two games into the Pac-10 season, and already I think we've found the team that's going to take up residence in the league's basement. Let me introduce you to Oregon State! The Beavers are 6-8 on the season, with the six wins coming against South Carolina Upstate (whatever that is), Idaho State, Portland, U.C. Davis, Cal State-Bakersfield and Northern Colorado. Among the eight losses: Alaska-Fairbanks, Tennessee Tech and Montana State.
Last week, Oregon State opened conference play at Arizona and Arizona State and came away with two losses by a combined 32 points.
Well, tonight, they face a Stanford squad that's 12-2 SU, including 3-1 on the road. And it's a Stanford squad that's owned Oregon State, winning nine of the last 10 meetings overall, going 5-0 ATS in the last five, 13-3 ATS in the last 16 and – get this – 8-0 ATS in its last eight visits to Corvallis, Ore. In fact, the road team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 series meetings.
Stanford, which just held USC to 46 points in a home win on Saturday, owns some incredible statistical advantages in this game, too. The Cardinal put up 72.8 points per game on 46.5 percent shooting, including 37.8 percent from three-point land, while Oregon State averages 63.2 points, 39.4 percent shooting and 30.1 percent from long range. Defensively, Stanford gives up 56.8 ppg; Oregon State 62 ppg, and Stanford holds the opposition to 39.4 percent shooting; Oregon State's at 43.3 percent, including 45.4 percent at home.
The Beavers have been held to 62 (Tennessee Tech), 65 (Northern Colorado), 61 (LSU), 59 (Montana State), 63 (Arizona) and 53 points (Arizona State) in their last six games. And last year against Stanford, they were held to 55 and 56 points in two meetings. This is a no-brainer here. Lay the chalk with the visitor.
Two nights ago, I backed the Magic in Sacramento and they laid an egg. But I didn't hesitate to play Orlando last night at the Clippers, and although it got a little dicey late, the Magic pulled through for the win and cover. Well, here we go again: Last night I played the Pistons in Dallas and Detroit got pummeled, but I'm coming right back and playing the Pistons as a 'dog tonight in San Antonio. The reasons: The Spurs are scuffling; I can't see the Pistons, who have lost consecutive games for the first time since mid-November, dropping a third in a row; and Detroit (like Orlando) has been phenomenal on the second night of a back-to-back situation, going 6-1-1 ATS this year and 8-1-1 ATS in that spot dating to last year.
As for the Spurs' struggles, they're 6-7 in their last 13 games, going 4-9 ATS during that stretch. That includes four consecutive non-covers in their last four games and a 2-4 ATS mark in their last six at home. Heck, in its most recent home game, San Antonio barely edged the Knicks – the Knicks! – 97-93. Also, we all know that San Antonio is getting a little long in the tooth. Well, look at what they've done since Dec. 30: home vs. Memphis, at Denver, home vs. New York, at the Clippers, at the Warriors, and now back to San Antonio for tonight's game. Tough stretch of travel there.
Finally, despite last night's loss, the Pistons are still on an insane 18-4 SU and 18-3-1 ATS roll, including 9-2 on the road (9-1-1 ATS). They're also 6-3 ATS in their last nine games against the Spurs, including back-to-back covers in San Antonio (83-68 win in 2006; 90-89 loss last year). Billups, Rip, 'Sheed and the boys bounce back for us tonight. Play the road pup.
Wisconsin-Green Bay
Inflated line here, simple as that. Of course, every line is inflated with Butler these days, which is hardly a secret anymore. Of course, that didn't matter at the beginning of the season, as the Bulldogs covered the spread in their first four games and six of their first seven. Since then, though, Butler is just 3-3-1 ATS, including 0-2-1 ATS as a double-digit chalk and 0-3-1 ATS in Horizon League games. In fact, this is THE biggest pointspread Butler has laid all season long.
And considering that the Bulldogs have scored more than 66 points just four times in their last nine games, that's significant – especially against a Wisconsin-Green Bay team that averages 72 points per game and actually shoots the ball better from the field (47 percent) than Butler (45 percent). Not only that, but the Phoenix's filed-goal defense (44.5 percent) is better than Butler's (45.3 percent).
Now, it's true that Bulldogs have played some stiff competition in the non-conference season, so that partially explains the discrepancy. Then again, Wisc-Green Bay faced three talented Big Ten teams – Michigan State, Wisconsin, and Ohio State, all on the road – in non-conference play, so maybe the stat comparison isn't so far off.
Throw in the fact that the Phoenix are, like Butler, off to a 3-1 start in Horizon League play, while the Bulldogs are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five Horizon League games, and I'm all over the big points in this contest.
U.C. Santa Barbara
I don't get this line at all. UCSB is 12-3 on the season, while Cal-Irvine is 5-9. Two of the Gauchos' losses came on the road against a Top 20 team (Stanford) and the No. 1 team in the nation (North Carolina). True, the third loss was Saturday's inexcusable 88-84 setback to Cal-State Northridge as a 7-point home favorite. But to me, that just served as wake-up call for USCB, which opened Big West play a game earlier with a 79-64 rout of Long Beach State. The Gauchos, after their tough non-conference schedule, no doubt thought they'd breeze through the Big West and got caught a little too overconfident against Northridge.
Tonight, I expect the Gauchos to be very focused against an inferior Irvine squad that has lost four of its last five, including a 93-83 defeat at Cal State-Fullerton on Friday. It's an Anteaters squad that's also 5-15 ATS in its last 20 conference games and 7-15 ATS in its last 22 at home.
Also, UCSB is in a bit of a payback situation here. Last year, the Gauchos beat the Anteaters twice in the regular season, winning 64-59 as a 2 ½-point road underdog and 71-62 as a six-point home favorite, then lost to Irvine 70-52 in the Big West tournament. UCSB averages 72.4 points per game on 45.1 percent shooting (40.6 percent from three-point land) and faces an Anteaters team that gives up 71.2 points while allowing foes to shoot a whopping 50.5 percent from the floor. UCSB, which is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings and 6-1 ATS in their last seven at Irvine, offers great value in this pick-em spot.

Washington State Cougars at USC Trojans
I'm playing the USC Trojans on Thursday night. I really enjoy watching the play of the Washington State Cougars under the direction of coach Tony Bennett. They look to score rather than pass the ball around the key, running down the shot-clock like they did when Dick Bennett was at the helm. And, they do it without sacrificing on the defensive end. But as much as I respect the Cougars, their schedule is really picking up. The Cougars are off to a 13-0 start and rank fourth in the polls. But they've played just one ranked opponent this season, escaping Gonzaga with a 51-47 win. Toss out other wins over Baylor and their win last weekend over Washington, and the Cougars have taken on one of the softest schedules of any ranked team in the nation. I believe the lack of serious competition will catch up to them this week. The Cougars own the stingiest defense in the nation, allowing less than 50 PPG. But this will be the most athletic team they've faced yet. And, the Trojans are battle-tested. USC took powerful Kansas and Memphis to the brink, losing both games by only four points. O.J. Mayo is in for a bounce back night in my opinion, after a rare rough outing against Stanford. Mayo is second in the Pac-10 in scoring at 20.1 PPG. The Trojans athleticism was too much for WSU in March (USC: 70-61), and I expect the same type of result tonight. USC gets the money on Thursday.
Play on: USC

"Not Selected" URLs In GWT Too Large -> How Do I Fix Them?
Msg#: 4522342 posted
11:24 am on Nov 25, 2012
(gmt 0)
On September 4-5, our website (blog+forums) traffic went down by about 50%. Since then I've been investigating the cause. I've in the last two months, I've reverted most of the things that could have gone wrong.
Recently I discovered that in GWT, the 'Index Status' shows that we've a HUGE number of 'Not Selected' URLs. I've been told that this could be one of the main reasons our traffic went down. I'm attaching a screenshot of how it looks in GWT-
Few more points that might be useful -
1. Around 4-5 September, the 404 errors went suddenly high on our site and continued to grow until Mid - September. This was a Javascript error in DISQUS plugin. I've fixed this problem already by setting up proper 301 redirect for all the error URLs that were created.
2. I've had a tag auto-link plugin that would find tag keywords on our wordpress blog and link them to relevant tag pages. I've disabled it 3 days ago.
3. Our website URL is - example.com and the forums reside on example.com/community/ . Our community traffic seems to be affected the most.
I'd really appreciate your inputs on fixing the 'Not Selected' URLs.

Well, hopefully, yours is one of the unusual cases where it does, because if they don't discount the quality of your site but rather allow the 'thinning' of PageRank passed, visitor behavior and 'other secondary/indirect signals' to indicate your site is 'not a good choice' because of the broken links you have, it could definitely be more difficult to overcome.
In other words: People with broken links, especially ones that frustrate visitors when they find them and click, may have a much bigger battle to getting their site back where it was.
Them 'not discounting' a site with broken links on it is not necessarily a good thing, in fact, it could range from 'bad' to 'really really bad' for sites with broken links in many cases, because 'just fixing the links' may not solve the problems created by other signals sent and directly used for ranking purposes.
There are actually a bunch of possibilities for 'influence' on rankings from broken links he doesn't specifically address, and I wouldn't expect him or anyone to sit and explain all of them to you, one, because there are a bunch, and two, because if it's someone from Google, they could easily 'give away too much' by listing everything that Could be influenced and how.
I'm really not sure I understand the point of all this...
We're talking to you from years of experience and knowledge, not 'just making things up' or trying to 'lead you down the wrong road', but if you really believe broken links will not harm your rankings, whether directly or indirectly through other 'signals' and 'factors', then leave them broken.
There's no way I'm going to go into exactly how and all the different ways broken links can influence your rankings, because, quite frankly, you're not paying me anywhere near enough and I have other things to do.

I guess the shorter version of my thoughts after reading John's reply are:
WOW! Having broken links on your site could be way worse than I initially thought...

Way, way, way worse TMS.
Ultimate Solution
: GWT says "hey, here's a complete list of all urls we know about on your site that do not return 404/410 codes, yo" combined with "hey again, here are pages on your site with internal links that seem to be broken". Unfortunately that's not likely to happen, some sites are way too big.
Cutts Confusion
: Matt, and several others, suggest that if someone is linking to a url on your site but they get it wrong, miss a character or whatever, that it's ok to redirect the broken url to the good one. Matt says this is the easiest way to capture incoming "juice" and plugs GWT as a great tool for finding such broken incoming links.(in a youtube video from a couple years ago, I don't know if his position has changed since)
On the flip side, spammy webmasters rather enjoy redirecting tons of pages to a url in order to get it to rank more highly and Google takes action against them. GWT now also reports them as "not selected" which they describe as "URLs from your site that redirect to other pages...".
So which is it
? Personally I feel that a redirect now tells Google "hey, our site really does have both of these urls" and that it's not as benign as it once was, if you have too many of them.
Example of a problem
: Many webmasters running wordpress don't know that if you add ".." or "--" to the end of a url that the page will render just fine with that url unless you block this in htaccess. Wordpress also redirects partially formed urls to the correct page on a best guess basis. While this is standard behavior you can expect your friendly neighborhood spammer to know this too and kindly create a bazillion duplicate urls for you intentionally, simply by linking to those pages from his spam-city-network.
Canonical is great but doesn't solve the problem that Google now thinks you really do have a lot of extra urls, they aren't returning 404 or 410. Is that a big deal? probably not, in fact almost certainly not, unless you're the incredibly unlucky webmaster among us who seems to get devalued by this type of thing which *some* undoubtedly will, the algo is a machine after all.
My experience
: I had a small 300 page blog that Google thought had over 8000 pages, 7700 of those "not selected". I made a 100% static copy of the site, ditched the CMS, ditched the affiliate redirects I had on 5-6 pages, made a sitemap detailing which 300 pages actually exist and reduced my .htaccess file to near nothing so that very little could be redirected.
My result
: Thousands of error messages in GWT for pages that I didn't want in existence anyway but, eventually, no "not selected" either.
: I don't think Google visits all of the urls in question so on page elements like canonical may not work, they seem to just ping for a header response without requesting the page. Fix those headers too.
Panda Concern
: Several top SEO sites recommend removing low quality and duplicate content in order to minimize your exposure to Panda, your CMS is likely not helping you by creating pages you don't even know about and that Google doesn't report, unless they disapear. Without seeing them in a 404 report or by watching your server logs closely you can't possibly minimize how many you have. I now avoid redirects if at all possible, if a page isn't mean to exist I want a 404 and if Google has found it and I want it gone I prefer 410.
I won't even get into Google's testing of fictitious urls at random just to see what they get.

I'm going to write a case study if my traffic restores after those 404s come down significantly. I'm currently at 34k and thankfully Google's giving me a few surprise drops in the count. Day before yesterday, Google dropped the error count by about 8k.

Chemical Speciation & Bioavailability covers a rapidly expanding area in environmental science.
Research on the interactions between the chemical forms and behaviour of toxic compounds and their subsequent biological uptake, metabolism and ecological fate involves many scientific fields. These studies are often published in discipline-specific journals, leading to inadequate review and information scatter. This situation hinders both the development of an international community of experienced colleagues and the open flow of information and discussion. Additionally, the importance of speciation and bioavailability research to the development of pollution law and control technologies is being increasingly appreciated by environmental regulatory agencies throughout the world.

Still available?
Unfortunately there's not nearly as many meets as there used to be. Especially this year. I'd be down for a get together some time. We used to have meets every week but everything stopped.
Yeah I know Torrington. Few friends live up the the Torrington/Harwinton area. It's about 30-45 min north of me. Car looks good though! I was looking for a Fahrenheit GTI before I got the GLI.
What part of CT are you from? There's quite a few Fahrenheits around. Both GTI and GLIs
Already have a euro trunk :thumbup: lol
Haven't notched the frame yet. It's on the list of things to do still haha.
Looked under it to find out what the noise was thinking I had something in my tire...to find out one cv boot is leaking and the other axle is clicking. :thumbup::banghead:
Yeah I have the airlift shocks too. I just like the idea of being able to have more than ~3.5* if I wanted. But my both my axles are now shot so I have more important things to take care of now. 100k...
So glad my wheels went to a good home :thumbup::thumbup:
Yeah that's what i thought. But i'd like to be able to get more than that if I want it. How was your strut clearance with a 10.5? I had the alignment done at ride height too.
Got my alignment but the guy said he could only get -2* out of it. So i'm looking for a good set of camber arms if anyone knows of any 👍. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/01/ysume9ez.jpg
Some pics...
I'm going to hopefully be getting an alignment before I leave for Dustoff.
Finally super happy with a set of wheels on the car. Tomorrow I should be getting an alignment. Debating on ordering rear camber arms for the back.
My new wheel set up :thumbup:
Still need that notch lol. But yeah rears are 10 et25
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/25/eqybyham.jpg Fenders rolled. Debating pulling the rears a tiny bit. But I need to adjust the camber before I make any decisions on that.
Wheels came in today. Threw a rear one on for a quick test fit. I need an alignment pretty bad but I like the way the fit. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/22/a9y4e6e9.jpg...
Nope still on my to do list lol.
Bump. I was telling my girlfriend I wanted these before I ordered my CCWs! Wish these were for sale before I placed my order. :beer:

The TDST, Ch.1The Transdimensional SuperteamPART I: SAN FRANCISCO- - -1.It all started out with a dead fish. And how does it end? With me tied up and left to die alone in a barren desert. Half-naked, wrists bound with itchy rope, and a waterskin tossed ironically on my lap. But we'll get to that. Like I said, it began with a fish. A red snapper, to be precise. Let's address that first.Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco. Short of going north to Seattle, you won't find a place quite like the Wharf. Despite the variety of interesting smells, tourists flocked there like gulls. Travelers, lost students, and urban explorers collided at the Wharf on a regular basis. It's a frivolous mish-mash of silly souvenirs and a palatable variety of ocean foods and sweets. I suppose I can understand the appeal, I could have really gone for some fried calamari.
The TDST, Ch.22.By the time I dropped off the gilded box in evidence, the shakes had left me. It had taken more than a little willpower though to shed the feeling that I should be dead. Part of my mind was absolutely positive I'd been caught in a bomb blast. But at the same time, I knew it was no fireball that had enveloped me. The questioning kid in me nagged. What is it? What was it? Whatever the truth, the box was now empty. That was for certain. I called it an early day. It was Saturday, after all. Paperwork besides the basic incident report could wait until Monday. Plus, I stunk to high heavens and wanted nothing more than a shower and a nap.I've been a detective in San Fran for four years. I couldn't ask for a better city, I tell you. I love everything about this place, and it truly is a pleasure to scrub the streets of the nastier

Supporting role suits Nacho
Tue, 12 Feb 2013 15:58:00
Coventry have signed defender Carl Dickinson from Watford on a one-month loan agreement.
The 25-year-old has been drafted in by Mark Robins as cover for regular left-back Blair Adams, who suffered an injury in Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Yeovil.
Dickinson has made 44 appearances for the Hornets since joining from Stoke in the summer of 2011, but he has found first-team chances hard to come by by this season.
He has been restricted to only six appearances under Gianfranco Zola, and has not played a senior fixture since November.
Dickinson spent a month on loan with Portsmouth early this season, and he will now be with League One Coventry until 12 March.
Keith Curle was dismissed earlier this month after less than a year in charge at Meadow Lane.
County's development squad boss Chris Kiwomya was handed the caretaker role, making him their 10th manager since 2007.
"I am just sick of it now," Judge told BBC Radio Nottingham. "I have only been here two and a half seasons and that is my sixth manager.
"I don't know what is happening to the stability they want to have. They have to stick with it. Eventually they have to stick with the manager. They cannot keep doing it."
Chairman Ray Trew said a combination of poor performances and falling attendances was behind the decision to sack Curle, but Magpies skipper Neal Bishop has backed Judge's call for stability.
"In three and a half years I have seen off 10 managers. We were in an indifferent run of form, but overall we felt we were on the right track. The players are all disappointed.
"We could see we had had the right man in charge. Some people had said the manager was too close to the players but that's a load of rubbish; he was hard but fair.
"I have seen Judgey's comments and I fully support him. But we are professionals and we have to get on with on it."
Reports this week suggested the Rugby Park number one was close to penning a deal with the Ibrox club that would see him join Ally McCoist's side after their transfer embargo ends on September 1.
Bell admits his agent has held discussions with the Irn-Bru Third Division side but was adamant that he has yet to put pen to paper.
And the Scotland keeper admits there is still a chance he could stay with Killie in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League or even join another as-yet-unnamed suitor.
The 26-year-old told said: "There has been discussions but I haven't signed anything with anyone yet.
"My only focus right now is to be with Kilmarnock until the end of the season and do my best for them.
"I'm still in talks with Kilmarnock too and, while I know there's been a lot in the press about it, nothing has been done.
"My agent has spoken to a number of different clubs. It's not just one club.
"He's been talking to Kilmarnock for the last two or three months, and there's been three or four other clubs who have contacted him to ask about my situation.
"I feel it's only right that as a player I look at all avenues but nothing has been agreed yet.
"I'm injured at the minute and that is what I'm concentrating on."
A hip injury means Bell will miss Kilmarnock's trip to Inverness on Wednesday alongside injured team-mates Rory McKeown and Cillian Sheridan.
With those three first-team regulars unavailable, boss Kenny Shiels will once again put his faith in youngsters such as Ross Barbour, Mark O'Hara and William Gros having lost three players in the January transfer window.
He did add to his group with the free-transfer arrivals of Celtic youngster Rabiu Ibrahim and Sammy Clingan from Doncaster Reserves but resisted the urge to add loan signings to his group, opting instead to give the youngsters a chance.
Shiels said: "We want to be a club who grows our own players and doesn't bring in loan players, because that is a real football club.
"I don't blame clubs for going down the loan route but what we are doing is impeccable. We're doing it the right way.
"Not bringing in loan players massively disadvantages you but that's the way we are going."
The 26-year-old has settled quickly following his ?8.5million deadline day transfer from Malaga, helping the Gunners keep clean sheets in victories over Stoke and Sunderland which boosted hopes of breaking back into the top four.
Monreal, who scored his only goal for Malaga in his final appearance last month, intends to continue going on about his job behind Arsenal's impressive forward line.
"I am asked to defend well and not so much to score goals. When I go forward and assist others, it is as if I have scored, so that is a great satisfaction for me," Monreal told Arsenal Player.
"It is difficult to say what your own qualities are, but I am a committed person and so give 100 per cent in every game.
"That is the best attribute that every footballer can have, that every Saturday you give everything you have got for your team."
Arsenal host Blackburn in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, and Monreal would love nothing more than to end his first campaign in English football with a medal around his neck at Wembley.
"One of the things any player wants is trophies," said Monreal, whose first full game for the senior Spain team came after their 2010 World Cup triumph.
"I cannot complain about my career, but I would like to win a trophy and I hope I can do this with Arsenal."
Monreal's arrival to offer competition for England full-back Kieran Gibbs, who is still sidelined by a thigh problem, saw Andre Santos fall further down the pecking order at Emirates Stadium.
The Brazilian has returned to his homeland on a loan deal with Gremio.
The 29-year-old was signed from Fenerbache for ?6.8million in August 2011, but made just 26 appearances.
Santos feels the short-term move will work well for all parties.
"I am confident this is the best for both Arsenal and myself," he said on the club's official website.
"I just want to say a big thanks to all the people that helped me at this wonderful club.
"I wish all the best for the team for the remainder of this season and of course, I'll be following the team from Brazil.
"Finally a special thanks to all the wonderful Arsenal fans who supported me during this period here at Arsenal. I leave not with a 'goodbye', but with a 'see you soon'."
Santos clearly feels he still can be part of Arsene Wenger's plans in the long-term.
Speaking in a separate interview with the London Evening Standard, he added: "The idea is to go there, play well and be able to come back strong. Do I have a future at the club? For sure.
"This is a loan deal and after this season we will see where everything stands.
"I always wanted to stay at Arsenal until the end of my contract. This is a club where I feel comfortable and honoured to play.
"However, when the club acquired another left-back it was clear to me that I will not play. I need to play, get my confidence back and Gremio is a good platform for this.
"I talked (with Wenger) and we decided together this would be a good chance for me to get on top of my game.
"He gave me a hug and told me Arsenal would always welcome me back with open arms.
"He did (want me to stay), but he wanted to see me happy and if I am not performing all the time, then I am not happy."
Santos spent three months on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury during a Champions League tie at Olympiacos in December 2011.
He added: "Things did not work out as well as I expected. I am not satisfied.
"Hopefully, when I am back, I will be on top of my game and then I will be able to help the team the way I want to."
Arsenal, meanwhile, remain hopeful midfielder Jack Wilshere (thigh) and Laurent Koscielny (calf) will shake off their fitness concerns ahead of next week's Champions League last 16 first leg clash against Bayern Munich.
Both could be rested for the FA Cup tie, while Thomas Vermaelen is expected to train this week after missing the last two matches with an ankle problem.
With Monreal ineligible for Europe, Vermaelen could be asked to fill in at left-back against the Bundesliga giants.

Bringing New Life to Your InteriorIt's no secret that stock plastic is as exciting as your mom's mini-van; and Armor All can only make it so shiny. A great way to get rid of the stock look in your interior and still have the factory fitment is to smooth and paint the existing plastics. Looking back 6 or 7 years ago, paint and body shops went into fits trying to get paints and primers to stick to the ABS plastic surfaces used on most trucks.
Flash-forward to present day, the chemical industry has caught up with the plastic technology. Special adhesive promoters, two-part epoxies, and primers have made painting plastics a relative piece of cake. Gone are the days of throwing a dash cover over your plastics, or heaven-forbid: busting out the tweed. Now you can bring your custom paintjob inside of your cab. This process, while not extremely difficult, is much like many truck projects. Taking your time will yield huge dividends.
For our Project Sinatra F-150, we chose the shop that originally performed the custom paintwork, South County Customs in Lake Forest, California. Talking with shop owner Max Gilmore, we discussed which pieces would look best painted, then we threw around some ideas for those pesky A-pillars. His idea was to shave them. After explaining to us that shaving plastic wasn't a big deal anymore, we jumped at the idea and thought you, too, would enjoy seeing how the interior was made over with some color.
Don't forget, you spend most of your time inside your truck and making that aspect look good should be a top priority.
Time Spent Working:8 hours
Degree of Difficulty:Intermediate (A paint spray gun sure helps)
Tools Needed:Phillips screwdriver, 7mm nut driver, T-15 Torx bit, sandpaper variety pack, sanding discs, and Bulldog adhesive promoter
Parts Used:Simco Ltd. classic gauge cluster for '99-'03 F-150 PN 2026-703$349.99
Paint plastics smooth$1,200.00
Total cost: $1,549.99 (Price includes parts and labor)
From the Driver SeatTo say we're impressed with the overall new look of the dash is a huge understatement. The awesome PPG Blue is a welcomed addition to the gray confines and took the interior to a real level of custom. It was a labor intensive process as sheet upon sheet of sandpaper was used to make the plastics baby-smooth. The guys at South County Customs knocked out the pieces with no problems, and watching Javier literally make huge holes in plastic disappear was really cool.
In addition to the paint, we also added a Simco Ltd. gauge cluster. This one-piece complete cluster is leaps and bounds better than the traditional over-lay. Bringing class and custom in one clean package, it helped to set off the dash with its white face gauges and chrome rings.
Our truck went from beat-up daily driver to ready-for-the-show-season cruiser with only two upgrades.

Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2013 | Pictures
Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2013
A day before he presented his Pre-Fall 2013 collection to editors and buyers, Jason Wu posted a photo of "Martha Hunt giving Jerry Hall realness" to Instagram. If Hunt was busy channeling that queen of '70s glamour and seduction during the lookbook shoot for this offering, it's because that's the feeling Wu was after.
Extending the unexpectedly sexy tone of his Spring 2013 collection, Wu created a luxuriously worked collection of dresses and gowns that captured the liberated spirit of the decade. The sheer chevron panels on his evening gowns, for example, alternated with wide swaths of sequins that kept the wearer covered up. Elsewhere the sex appeal toughed up, with dresses and slim trousers in leather (or a graphic black, white, and yellow eel skin pattern) and belts accented by chain-link hardware.

Are tomorrow's guitar heroes playing 'Guitar Hero'?
Some claim that video games help kids hone real musical chops and interest in the instrument.
Jeff Gritchen/Special to the Christian Science Monitor
For Lary Spears, a guitar hero is not someone who jacks into a game console and hits push-button chords. The longtime bassist, now a sales executive at G&L Guitars, used to build instruments at the company's Fullerton, Calif., factory.
So he winced when his son, Shane, piled up the money he'd been given for his 10th birthday this fall and announced his plan to buy "Guitar Hero III." Shane already owned a G&L Tribute electric guitar – customized by his craftsman dad – that he seemed to enjoy thrashing in front of his bedroom mirror.
"I've always been kind of an old-school guy," says Mr. Spears. "If you want to play guitar, go pick up a guitar. You don't need a video game for that."
Still, once his son was gleefully gaming, Spears drifted into the room to see what all the buzz was about. He sat down, he says, and really worked the "GH III." It was a revelatory half hour.
"It teaches him tempo, meter, how the guitar works inside of a song, the little skip beats – the 'and two' kinds of beats," says Spears.
Don't fire the guitar teacher. But real-life instrumental mastery might just get a boost in the mock-rock age of "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band" (in which a full array of instruments, including drum kit, is rendered in plastic facsimile).
