Surf's up: Saudi Sheikh says women should travel alone...online!
A Saudi scholar has played down an Islamic fatwa (ruling) that forbids women from logging in online without an escort.
"The law for internet usage for men and women should be the same, even if the internet has useful and harmful websites," said Sheikh Mohamed El-Aly, professor of Islamic law at Imam Mohamed Ben Saud University to Al-Youm Online, a Saudi news website, Sunday.
According to Islamic law, women are not allowed to travel without a male escort who is either her husband or a close relative she couldn't marry, including uncles, father-in-law and adult nieces.
In 2010, Sheikh Saad El-Ghamdi issued a fatwa banning women from logging in online without a chaperon sitting at her side.
"Women are similar to other beings, yet they are weak and emotional, which drags them towards what is against God's rule ... The internet is full with tempting things that will be very hard for the weak woman to avoid ... Thus an escort who is aware of her weak psyche, which is prone to sex and emotion, is to accompany her while being online," said Sheikh Saad El-Ghamdi in 2010.
However, Sheikh El-Aly has different views on women. "God blesses the Muslim woman with righteous thinking by which she distinguishes between what is good and bad for her," he told the Saudi press Sunday.
The 2010 fatwa spread widely on social media sites. Sheikh Saad Ghamadi is a Saudi who graduated from the College of Sharia of the Islamic Imam Mohamed Ben Saud University.

Photos: [top] Jack and [bottom] Jill, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
Can you imagine leaving your pets behind in your former home, even in the worst possible circumstances? We can't either. And yet, after Jerome Smith, 23, was evicted from his Harlem apartment, he chose to do just that to his six-month-old puppies.
When New York City Animal Care & Control officers opened the door to Smith's former home in September, they found Terrier mix puppies Jack and Jill, all alone and in bad shape.
The officers called ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, and our agents brought the pups to the ASPCA Animal Hospital right away.
ASPCA veterinarians found Jack and Jill to be dehydrated, malnourished and severely underweight. Jack weighed 12.7 pounds and Jill weighed 8.5 pounds. By contrast, after being fed a balanced diet and receiving treatment by ASPCA staff, Jack now weighs 36.5 pounds and Jill weighs 30.3 pounds—a 187 and 256 percent increase, respectively.
The ASPCA arrested Smith in December. He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
Jack and Jill's story ends happily. On January 13, Jill was adopted! Jack is waiting for a forever family at the ASPCA Adoption Center, located in Manhattan. To learn more about how you can adopt Jack, please visit the ASPCA Adoption Center online.
Update 1/18/13: We are thrilled to report that Jack was adopted!
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please report it.
The punishment should fit the crime. However long those babies were left to starve should be how long this creep has to go without food, water, company, etc. Let him appreciate how it feels!!
It's unfathomable to me that we live in a society that thinks pets are disposable. I live in a wealthy county in NJ, and in my development in the last 6 years, 3 of my neighbors left pets behind! People you see everyday and would never think they could do such a thing...but they do, and that's how I wound up with more pets than I anticipated, but I, and a few caring others adopted them.
Yes, there needs to be stricter punishment for these heartless clods.
Last summer I got out of my car in a Walmart lot and there was a dog in a hot car panting and suffering. I called the police and they said they couldn't break into the car. I was devastated. I asked him if he would turn his back if I did to save the dog. He did not respond...but I would have broken the window and faced the charges if I had to. After another 10 minutes they found the guy approaching the vehicle, and he had no identification or drivers license and he had not only the dog, but 2 children in tow. Yes, lock these people up and hit them hard where it hurts, in the pocketbook! Throw the book at them, they rightly deserve it.
Why wasn't this prosecuted as a felony? We, as human beings, need to change the laws and make these kinds of heinous acts FELONIES! This guy should be left to starve and thirst...let's see how long it takes him to BEG for mercy! Shame on scum like this but clearly he has no conscience (sociopath) or compassion. His treatment in jail should be just as harsh as what he inflicted on these two pups.
What a digusting person this man is. Unthinkable...
There needs to be a registry for animal cruelty...just like sex offenders, etc. They should never be allowed to adopt or own a pet again!!
I am happy that the aspca was alerted and saved these pets, however since they were together, probably played together, wouldn't it have been nice to adopt them together? Just saying. I worked with the aspca in Maryland forever and adopted siblings together - but at least they are going to have a far better life, I hope, then before - hope you check homes carefully -
I agree that punishment for animal cruelty needs to have more weight, but jail time isn't the best answer because we the taxpayer are paying for the criminal's time there. "Community service" in an animal shelter is best, and hopefully would make them see how much the animals need our love and support!
Thank you for being there when Jack & Jill needed you.
Sadly, this story was repeated across this country as homes were foreclosed and people moved and left their pets behind. Many were not found in time.
I have moved across states 4 times and each time my cats and dogs moved with me.
I personally think that all foreclosures and eviction properties should be looked at immediately after the person(s)depart. I would volunteer my time and gas to inspect these properties for abandoned animals. All these people should be held accountable for their abandoning their animals.
this is so sad i have seen animals like this all the time when i walk around the park

Footer Problem In Ios
Posted 28 November 2012 - 05:40 AM
I've built the following site -
My problem occurs when viewing on iphones and ipads - the footer in the bottom right is clipped off
Does any one know what might be causing this?
Posted 28 November 2012 - 07:18 AM
Please update to the Version 2.3.6 and see if this resolves your issue.
Posted 29 November 2012 - 02:03 AM
Thanks for your advie Danny, I've done that and it has half fixed the problem. The content in the 'morefoot right' is now showing in its entirety, but the background colour is still clipped......
Any idea what might be causing this?
Posted 29 November 2012 - 02:44 AM
How did you apply the bg color? Using css, if so can you paste the code in for us.
Also you have some mobile css in your custom code box already by the looks of it, if you remove this does the background go full width, i'm just wondering if it's something to do with the span command.
Posted 29 November 2012 - 08:25 AM
This is the footer related css I have -
Posted 06 December 2012 - 03:06 AM
Hi Guys just wondering if anyone had any further advice on this problem - is it feasible for me to apply a semi transparent background to the 'morefoot' area?
Posted 06 December 2012 - 03:37 AM
Hi there,
Firstly I'd suggest updating to version 2.3.7 as that was just released and there was a fix in there for the footer. There was a 5px gap at the bottom being caused by some of the code and I can see it on your site, so this could be related.
In answer to your question you can apply the bg to the morefoot area, you might have to adjust some of the padding to make it fit.
However try the following code first to see if it resolves.
Let us know if the 2.3.7 update works for you.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 06:28 AM
Thanks James,
Have updated to 2.3.7 and tried your code, unfortunately neither suggestion worked.
Please let me know if you think of anything else.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 08:45 AM
Posted 06 December 2012 - 08:57 AM
Hi Danny,
Here are 2 screen shots of layout settings let me know if you need any other details
Thanks for you help,
Posted 06 December 2012 - 11:09 PM
Yes, you can apply a semi-transparent image to the Morefoot. However, your layout indicates the Morefoot will be only within the content width, not the entire width of the screen.
Your custom code is applying the background color presently as an RGBA color with opacity. However, you also used CSS that's inconsistent with that mode of background coloring and is intended for background images. This is causing the issue with the background color only covering some of the footer.
Where did you place the last of James' CSS code? Do you have a cache plugin activated? If so, clear the cache and apply that code James provided then save and view. I've tested it and it will work.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 10:39 PM
Hi Rob,
Thanks for your advice,
I've changed the 'Site Design Mode' to full width sections. And changed tried placing the morefoot columns in the footer section and morefoot section
Also I tried simplifying the CSS to the following -
Posted 09 December 2012 - 08:24 PM
Try making both the Default Layout Mode and the Mode specified in Layout Dimension Editor the same. You have full width in one, and a sidebar in the other. I'd recommend both have one sidebar. You can always turn off sidebars in pages and posts.
Posted 09 December 2012 - 11:13 PM
I tested this idea and it had no effect unfortunately
Posted 11 December 2012 - 04:47 AM
Do you want to set up a user account and PM us the password/login and we'll go in and take a look for you, see if we can figure out what's happening?
Posted 12 December 2012 - 02:54 AM
Thanks - I will PM you with details now
Posted 13 December 2012 - 06:49 AM
Hi Tom,
Just a quick update... I've been looking at this for hours now and I still can't work out what's going lol. I've going to get the rest of the team to have a look this afternoon and maybe get one of the developers to take a look. I'll come back to you as soon as I know a bit more.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 07:48 AM
Thanks James, sorry for the headache!
Posted 14 December 2012 - 10:22 PM
Hi there, I've managed to recreate this on my own site and haven't found a way to fix it.
Screenshot of my site -
So I've raised this over to our developer team as possible a bug and we'll investigate further.
We'll be in touch as soon as we know more. Thank you for your patience :-)
Posted 16 December 2012 - 02:06 AM

Customer Raves & Reviews
Got my calendars fast and they look awesome hopefully it will produce me some business!
Loved our magnets!!!
We loved the magnets we got from MagnetStreet. A great price for a great quality.
Clean, Simple and Impactful
After searching a number of sites, which only offered limited calendar magnet design/selection, I happily came across Magnet Street. There were countless designs & layouts to choose from and the simplicity of the site, along with the myriad fonts and layout options made my project a breeze to navigate. Affordable, top quality, quick shipping - all my needs were met, and my expectations exceeded.
I am very pleased with my magnets. The only negative is the size of the print. I was a little disappointed in how small the print is. I've ordered magnet calendars in the past and the calendars were a bit larger and easier to read. The people I spoke to at Magnet Street were very kind and helpful.
Just the right size
We have used MagnetStreet for many years and have tried another company along the way. Nobody has matched MagnetStreet's service, design site and delivery time.

DEEP RUN — All Lisa Smith wants from her South Lenoir softball team is for it to give everything it has.
The Blue Devils have, and that's why they're in the third round once again.
South Lenoir (20-3) hosts Whiteville (17-5) at 6 p.m. today in a NCHSAA state 2A third round playoff game. It's the second year in a row South Lenoir has advanced this far and the third time in the last four seasons.
The Blue Devils are also on an eight-game win streak, one shy of tying their season high of nine.
"All season long we've taken it one game at a time and that's what we're doing here," Smith said. "We're working on the basics. … I truly believe working on the basics every day helps.
"We're going to go out there and give it our all."
South Lenoir hosts a team today that is on a bit of a roll itself. Whiteville had won 10 in a row, and, ironically enough, the last team to defeat both the Wolfpack and Blue Devils was East Central 2A Champion Topsail.
And both games were decided by a single run.
South Lenoir's last loss came on April 16 in a 5-4 defeat to the Pirates. Whiteville's loss to Topsail was 9-8 in a tournament on April 2.
The Blue Devils were plagued by errors that game — one on which the winning run was scored. Since then, they have buckled down and become more determined to go as deep as possible in the playoffs.
"We made some errors in that game that cost us. We've been working harder and have been more focused," Smith said. "They've had some goals — going as far as they can go. They want to reach their goals.
"They've come together and just decided, like I said, they're going to give everything they have."
One of those goals was to win a conference title, but after falling to Topsail twice the Blue Devils finished second.
With the regular season behind it, South Lenoir is now focused on playing at its best for seven innings, and letting its play take care of the rest.
"No matter what, when you walk off that field, you've got to know you've given it all you've got for yourself and your team," Smith said. "Good things happen when you do that."

Scouting Report-I decided to go back and watch some of Williams games from last season, because I keep hearing how he's come on so big this year and is so dominant and really climbing up draft boards. What I saw was basically a mirror image. What Williams is, is a great nose tackle prospect. He's a classic wide body, with a squatty physique, low center of gravity, and legs like telephone poles. He's a classic zero technique nose, with lots of power and leverage. He's probably quicker than he is fast, but he does make good decisions and makes them quickly which gets him into the backfield. He's got good explosion, can beat the double team, and does a nice job finishing the play. He's a typical big boy. He wraps up hard and lets gravity do the work. He's sort of a poor man's BJ Raji. Not quite as athletic, not quite as strong and not quite as disruptive. Troubling to me is he seems pretty slow afoot which I realize makes no sense criticizing speed on a guy that weighs 330lbs. But compared to other giant landmasses he's lacking some speed. And no matter what you hear, Williams is basically the same player he was last year, which makes me wonder about his upside.
Draft Status Williams appears to be riding a wave of attention right into the first round. I have no problem with that, as he's been a very good player the past two seasons and plays a position that is in high demand in the NFL. How high he's drafted will depend greatly on the 3-4 team that is in greatest need to a nose tackle, as well as were Alabama DT Terrence Cody goes. I have seen some that have Williams rated ahead of Cody but I'm not there yet. I think Williams ends up a mid bottom third first round pick to a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers who need to upgrade their defensive line.
Final Analysis I like Williams game a lot. He's going to be a great run stuffer in the NFL and his ability to absorb blocker is going to make the players behind him look even better, because he gives them free run at the quarterback. He's going to do exactly what is asked of him. Plug the middle, make tackles on backs and let other palyers get the sacks. He's never going to be a great statistical player, but that's ok. I'd love to gush about Williams, but he's pretty much a lunchpail nose tackle. Not real fast not real athletic, but he's really strong and he's great at his job. If I rooted for a 3-4 team(and I do), and needed a big fat boy for the middle, I'd have no problem snatching WIlliams up in the first assuming Cody is already off the board.
Reminds me of: Ryan Pickett, DT Green Bay Packers Pickett is the unsung hero of the new Packers new 3-4 defense and although you don't see him in the box score just ask his teammates how good he is. He's done well enough that first round NT BJ Raji has been a non-factor.

How is Gordon's knee sore when he finished the season and tried out for the Olympics?
http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss..._river_defaultDespite missing all of training camp with a sore right knee, New Orleans Hornets Coach Monty Williams had hopes of guard Eric Gordon being ready to play in a couple of preseason games before the regular season begins.
But Williams said Sunday that Gordon could miss the final three preseason games because he is not in appropriate conditioning due to the missed time caused by his sore knee. Williams also there's also a chance power forward Jason Smith could miss the remainder of the preseason after injuring his shoulder in a practice last week. Gordon has missed all five preseason games, while Smith has played in only the preseason opener against the Orlando Magic.
"I dont see them playing in the next couple of games, maybe not anymore in the preseason,'' Williams said. "(It) is not ideal, but it is the situation that we have. Jason is still feeling pain. Eric got to get his condition up; thats what hes working on now. But hes doing more and more everyday. Hes doing a lot more drill work with the team and hes in all the huddles. Hes more engaged each day.

Would have been nice to hear an update on the knee. How is it feeling? Is their any swelling? Has EJ tested it in camp? What type of treatments has he received for the knee? Etc, etc, etc...
He was at the scrimmage, didn't participate in any of the pre-scrimmage drills but showed up on the bench with some kinda band. No knee brace or anything. Strange. I mean, he looks to be in shape, but he hasn't drilled in forever. Monty must really have faith in his ability. Feels he doesn't even need practice or something.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
The team is really taking seriously how they wana be sure that EJ can go the whole season injury free.... i really hope this is the case

I will choose not to panic. Maybe they are handling it like the Ravens handled Suggs. cryptic messages to the the media, and then it's gameday and he shows up.
New Orleans Hornets guard Eric Gordon says he may start contact work at end of the week; Monty Williams looking at next week, though
http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss..._river_defaultDallas - New Orleans Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon said Monday night he has been running at full speed for the last week and suffered no setbacks with the sore right knee that has kept him out of action the entire preseason.
Gordon is eyeing contact work for the first time, perhaps as early as the end of this week
"At this point, it's about me trying to get ready as fast as I can, but not rush into a game where I might get hurt. I haven't done any contact stuff with the team yet," Gordon said. "I really don't want to rush it. There's a good chance toward the end of the week, maybe I'll start doing some contact stuff. But it's all about what's comfortable between me and the organization. But I think there's a really good chance I will."
Williams said he envisions limiting Gordon's minutes once Gordon does return to the floor.
"Every day we're getting closer," Williams said. "How close, I'm not quite sure yet. He's doing more in practices. If I had to guess, we'd probably wait until next week to give him a good three practices in a row. And I'm sure we'll have a minute restriction on him just to make sure he's ready."
Gordon, on the other hand, said when he returns he'll be full go.
Ahhh. Great News on EJ... been crossing my fingers since training camp started. Lets Go NOLA!
Still not liking the vibe from this whole Gordon knee situation, but whatever.

As many of you know, last weekend the ASPCA and responders from The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) removed more than 360 dogs from dog fighting properties in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. Many are emaciated, with scars and wounds consistent with dog fighting. They're spending their first days learning what it's like to receive adequate care.
The dogs and puppies are safe now. They'll never suffer in extreme heat without access to water. They'll never be chained to cinder blocks and car tires again. And they'll never be forced to fight.
Right now, the ASPCA is providing shelter, veterinary care, healthy food and much-needed attention and affection to hundreds of dogs and puppies. Our work is far from over. It's a massive undertaking that will require months of food and supplies and man hours to ensure these dogs get the best possible care. Veterinary professionals, behavior professionals and so many others will be involved.
Please take a moment to watch and share our rescue video. You'll see some of the dogs we rescued, as well as the real conditions these dogs were forced to endure.
Stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue. If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA.
It is sometimes difficult for us to keep our sprits high, especially when we see such evil. I have been rescuing cats, dogs, and all other creatures since I was a child. I will continue to do so for as long as I live. The fact that some humans find pleasure in the suffering of animals only makes me more determined to stop as many cruel acts against animals as I can during my life. ASPCA is a wonderful organization but they simply can't be everywhere, all of the time. I urge everyone to continue to donate to ASPCA but also to do your part to stop animal abuse.
Thank you for what you do and continue to do - with these videos, I'd like to see the names of the people responsible published so we can spread the word.
God bless all of you for all you do to save these precious souls from a life of undeserved pain and misery. It is a shame that the people responsible for this can't be sentenced to the same kind of punishment. Maybe they would learn something from it.
You didn't do so well on the last huge dog rescue. Please make sure they ALL are kept alive and NONE are euthanized. I applaud your efforts as long as these abused dogs are saved. There are many rescue organizations who will step up to take these dogs. Cesar Milan (Dog Whisperer) has successfully rehabilitated pits before and the Michael Vick dogs went to forever home. Don't give up.
I am so glad that you found saved these dogs so that they may never have to endure the pain suffering they've been through. Bless you for your work and savings of inocent lives.
Thank you! I hope the ones running this and betting on them are destined for a lifetime of what they were offering these poor babies. Bless you all
This is why the ASPCA is named in my will. God Bless You and the work you do!
This makes me so angry. I am so glad you worked so hard to save these dogs. I only hope they all find the loving homes they deserve and do not end up in shelters! Please keep the community updated and rescues too so we can network and find these fur babies homes!!!
Thank you for all you do, I.m sure it is not easy to see, but I am so glad you are there to help. God Bless You
Thank you so much for all that you do and i thank GOD for people like you.And i think the people doing this should be euthanized and never see light again.The world would be a better place with out people that harm animals.we can do with out these kind of people.we want and need and love animals. Animals are healers these kind of people are hurting animals and don't need to live another day in this life.

Pregnancy planning facts
What is pregnancy planning?
Pregnancy planning begins even before conception for many women. Others choose to start planning when they are aware of a pregnancy. While it is possible to have a healthy pregnancy and baby without a pregnancy plan, developing a pregnancy plan is one way to help ensure that your baby has the greatest chances of having good health and that you have a healthy pregnancy. Planning for pregnancy typically involves discussions with a woman's partner and her health-care team and includes discussions about nutrition and vitamins, exercise, genetic counseling, weight gain, and the need to avoid certain medications and alcohol.
Because some women experience light bleeding known as implantation bleeding around the time of the expected menstrual period, or because of irregular menstrual cycles, some women may not realize they are pregnant until specific symptoms of pregnancy start to develop. By this time, the woman may have unknowingly exposed herself to substances that may be harmful for the pregnancy. Women who choose to begin pregnancy planning before conception can take steps to ensure that potentially harmful exposures are avoided.

It's graduation day at the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center! Two wonderful Chihuahuas have completed our treatment program for fearful, under-socialized dogs and are now ready to be adopted into loving homes.
If you're ready for today's most adorable sandwich, meet Peanut Butter and Jelly:
Peanut Butter: Peanut Butter (pictured right) was one of 200 animals rescued from a hoarding situation in Howell, New Jersey. At the ASPCA Rehabilitation Center, the four-year-old Chihuahua received intensive treatment for symptoms of fear and defensiveness. Though he is occasionally nervous about being handled by strangers, he enjoys being pet by familiar friends. Peanut Butter has come a long way in his recovery, and he cannot wait to settle in to a warm, loving home.
Jelly: Sweet little Jelly (pictured below) was rescued from the same hoarding situation as Peanut Butter. After several weeks of treatment with our staff at the ASPCA Rehabilitation Center, this four-year-old Chihuahua has learned to enjoy meeting new people and showing off her striking chocolate coat and tan face. Though she is shy, she has blossomed into a loving companion who is eager to start a new life in her first real "forever home."
Both Peanut Butter and Jelly are ready for a new life. They are currently under care of the Animal Alliance foster network in New Jersey, and would do best in homes with experienced adult adopters. If you're interested in meeting PB or J, please contact Animal Alliance by email at [email protected] or by phone: (609) 818-1952.

Cap & Gown for darling grads, Peanut Butter and Jelly, 2 of the most adorable little dogs I've ever seen. They've come a long way and I hope they go to the most loving and patient new families very soon. Thank you to all the wonderful people who rescued them and worked with them to overcome their fears. They will now have a beautiful chance at life and love.
I hope these two sweethearts get a wonder home very soon.
This is a wonderful story highlighting the 'rehabilitation' process that can restore balance to dogs
that have endured pain, often in numerous ways. Kudos, to those working with at risk animals, and
to the adopters providing a good home for these and others.
Two of our three dogs have been rescue animals that we have adopted. They have been the most loving and kind dogs (both Chihuahua mixes). Our first rescue animal was a one-eyed Chihuahua we named Lucky. Lucky was the only dog allowed on our elementary school grounds, while I volunteered for traffic patrol. She was sweet and gentle with all the kids waiting for the buses and kept the children calm and entertained. If you are thinking of getting a pet, please consider adopting from a shelter.
me and my dog both was bet up in our home . by a man I cared about.. she is doing great now..

Helicopter aids in arrest of 3 fleeing Lynnwood police
Lynnwood police attempted to stop a Dodge Dakota pickup around 8:45 p.m. in the 15600 block of Highway 99, just outside of city limits.
The driver took off, making his way from Highway 99 to Highway 405.
The pickup headed past Bothell, Kirkland and Bellevue before stopping on a dead end street in Renton.
The trio then walked to a fast-food restaurant where they were arrested.
The King County Sheriff's Office helicopter Guardian One was used to keep an eye on the pickup after patrol cars stopped their pursuit, Lynnwood police spokeswoman Shannon Sessions said.
The driver was arrested for attempting to elude police and possession of a controlled substance as well as warrants.
The Washington State Patrol and Renton police also assisted Lynnwood police, Sessions said.

Schoolboy star Sergeal Petersen is relishing the prospect of representing the Southern Kings in the 2013 Super Rugby competition.
Petersen is a true product of the Eastern Cape rugby structures. He was born in Humansdorp, and currently attends Grey High School in Port Elizabeth.
A number of unions have been chasing his signature since he won the Player of the Tournament award at this year's Craven Week, but the 18-year-old says that he is pleased to be representing his home region. He was recently included in the Kings' Super Rugby squad.
'This union has worked very hard for a long time, they thoroughly deserve this opportunity,' Petersen told Schoolboy Derby. 'It gives the province a chance to compete with the best.'
Rory Duncan, a former Cheetahs captain and now Grey High 1st XV coach, is pleased that Petersen has been granted this chance. Duncan believes Petersen will be the first of many youngsters that remain in the region because of the Super Rugby opportunity.
'It will allow the province to retain their talent instead of losing it to the other unions who in the past could offer these players a chance to further their careers,' he said.
Duncan cites himself as an example. He also attended Grey High and played for the Eastern Province academy, but eventually moved to the Cheetahs in 2006 in search of greater opportunities at a higher level.
He returned to the union in 2010 to find a much improved situation, with former Bok assistant coach Alan Solomons now at the helm as director of rugby.
There aren't many players who get the opportunity to play Super Rugby directly out of school. It is surely a lot to take in for a teenager who is still busy with matric exams.
What Petersen is looking forward to, however, is playing with and learning from some of his childhood heroes.
'Playing with guys like Luke Watson and Tiger Mangweni is going to be very special,' he said
Petersen's form at Craven Week led to selection for the SA Schools side. He then played in the U18 international series against France, England and Wales in August. He scored a try in all three wins to help his team achieve an unbeaten run.
His biggest asset is his pace. He boasts a personal best of 10.46 seconds in the 100m, making him one of the fastest schoolboy players in the country. He also represented South Africa in the 100m event at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games.
While Petersen is just 18, Duncan is confident that he will be able cope with the step up to professional rugby.
'Sergeal is a fantastic athlete, and he will gain an enormous amount of experience training with the [Kings] team. I have no doubt he will be able to adjust.'
Petersen has remained realistic about his goals for the upcoming season and isn't getting ahead of himself.
'My goal is to make the touring squad and be a part of the Kings set-up next season, not necessarily to start any games. I am still very young and have a lot to learn.'
Petersen is one of several young players of colour who'll form part of the Kings Super Rugby squad. Others include fullback Siviwe Soyizwapi and prop Lizo Gqoboka, who all made their senior debuts this year after coming through the EP Academy ranks.

While my wife wanted to be more efficient with her pedalling, she steadfastly refused clipless pedals or toe clips & straps. When I saw the Ergon Contour Pedal, I purchased a pair for her. Everything Ergon claims for these pedals is true. I put the pedals on her bike and we went on a one-week cycling holiday. While we couldn't measure her pedalling efficiency, she never complained about sore legs or feet, or about working too hard to keep up to everyone. And even with one day of drenching rain, her feet never slipped on the textured surface.

Holy the Firm
Holy the Firm (Paperback)
Related Editions
In 1975 Annie Dillard took up residence on an island in Puget Sound in a wooded room furnished with "one enormous window, one cat, one spider and one person." For the next two years she asked herself questions about time, reality, sacrifice death, and the will of God. In Holy the Firm she writes about a moth consumed in a candle flame, about a seven-year-old girl burned in an airplane accident, about a baptism on a cold beach. But behind the moving curtain of what she calls "the hard things -- rock mountain and salt sea," she sees, sometimes far off and sometimes as close by as a veil or air, the power play of holy fire.
This is a profound book about the natural world -- both its beauty and its cruelty -- the Pulitzer Prize-winning Dillard knows so well.
About the Author
Annie Dillard has written eleven books, including the memoir of her parents, An American Childhood; the Northwest pioneer epic The Living; and the nonfiction narrative Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. A gregarious recluse, she is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

That is HUGE
Oklahoma City has traded James Harden to the Houston Rockets, league sources tell Y! Sports.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) October 28, 2012
Further tweets indicate OKC gets: Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, two 2013 first round picks (from Toronto and Dallas), and a 2013 second round pick (from Charlotte).
Houston also receives Cole Aldridge, Lazar Hayward and Daequan Cook.

That is HUGE
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
Smart move by thunder in the fact that they were going to lose him anyways but bad move for them this year because they had the best shot of coming out of the west and beating the heat with the same players from last year. So it depends how you look at the trade and if you value short term over long term or vise versa.
Also glad to see that the suns didn't get him

Thunder traded James Harden for Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb.
okc got Kmart and lamb from Houston in the deal.
On the surface, terrible trade by Thunder (unless there is something else in deal). KMart is simply an expiring deal. Harden worth more than that. However, OKC front office one of the best.
Still in our damn division. No matter. Kevin Martin was annoying. Harden will beat us but I'll feel we have better chance at stopping him cuz it won't all be 3s from the hip.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Terrible, how could OKC NOT find a better deal than this one???
They get the Raptors pick. Nvm thats a great trade cause that's a lottery pick right there. Now what if that Toronto pick ends up being #1, that'll be some bs
Last edited by Razorpens; 10-27-2012 at 10:05 PM.
Damn that sucks for us. Harden is going to explode for the Rockets. They had to give up lamb though, and crippled their drafts for the next couple years. I don't really think the addition makes Houston all that much better though.

Wow. No matter, we can cover him.
Rockets receive the Mavericks' 2013 first-round pick. (top 20 protected until 2017). via Lakers (Odom) (Jordan Hill trade) (Jordan Hill trade 03-15-12)
Rockets receive the Raptors' 2013 first-round pick (Top 3 protected and 15-30 in 2013, top 2 protected and 15-30 in 2014 and '15, Top 1 protected and 15-30 in 2016 and '17, and unprotected in 2018. (Kyle Lowry trade) (Kyle Lowry trade 07-11-12)
Harden plays really well off the ball which is why he was so valuable playing next to Durant and Westbrook. He and Lin can coexist since Harden plays off the ball well while Lin is only productive with the ball in his hands.
Also, Lamb will be a very good SG in this league and will be productive right away for the Thunder. Plus, they have Martin for a year and he can still score (no defense).
Not a bad trade at all for the Thunder or even Rockets but I wonder if Harden will be a go to scorer off the dribble.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Thanks man.. How awesome/bad would it be if the raptors got the 4-6th pick and the thunder drafted nerlens or zeller?

Yeah not a bad trade for OKC, Martin, PJ3, and Lamb somewhat make up for the loss of Harden add in those draft picks...you could do much worse. This seems like one of those that had motives for the now and the future, hard to balance the two.
{edited - veiled language}. There goes my Harden as our SF dream. Told yall OKC wouldn't keep him though!
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

Nov. 14, 2012 - Agency of the Month
Listen to the full show.
Jump to main content.
Agency of the Month examines the many important facets of government agencies. Each month, Federal News Radio speaks with top executives from a specific agency about the issues most important to its mission. The Agency of the Month for November 2012 - the U.S. Postal Service.
Wednesday - 11/14/2012, 3:10am EST
Listen to the full show.
When Nagisa Manabe arrived at the U.S. Postal Service six months ago, the agency was allocating just 5 percent of its total marketing dollars toward direct mail efforts aimed at promoting the agency's products and services.
"The surprising thing about that is, what we normally recommend to our customers is 15-20 percent of their investment should be in direct mail," said Manabe, the agency's new chief marketing and sales officer (CMSO).
Thanks to Manabe's direction, USPS is now practicing what it preaches.
"The first change we made was to say we were committed to spending at least 20 percent of our marketing dollars on direct mail and package communication," Manabe said in an exclusive interview on Federal News Radio's Agency of the Month program.

To that end, the agency sent a promotional pamphlet to every home in America right after Election Day highlighting the Postal Service's holiday package and mailing services. It was the first national mailing the Postal Service had sent since 2007.
"The truth is, I think that people are not aware of many of the services the Postal Service offers. One of the things that, frankly, I wasn't aware of when I started in this role, is that if I order a flat-rate box online from USPS.com, I can have that delivered to my house, it can be packed, and then I can have a carrier pick it up, which is really pretty surprising. It's really not something I expected. I am convinced, if we let every citizen of the U.S., every resident of the U.S., understand and really walk through the steps with them, they'd find us to be much more accessible."
Despite the tough economy and tight budgets, Manabe said USPS is committed to the marketing campaign it set forward.
"It is true that in a tough economy or with significant budget challenges, every dollar we spend needs to be effective. There's no doubt of that. That said, we're committed to investing in the mail and our package business," Manabe said. "Our commitment is to continue to invest behind the parts of the business that are growing and healthy and to shore up the parts of the business, which with a little bit of nurturing would see better growth. So, we're actually standing firm on our commitment in advertising."
From Campbell's Soup to Captain Morgan and Beyond
Unlike many of the top senior executives at USPS, Manabe has not spent her entire career with the agency. Manabe's road to USPS winds through the who's who of successful companies in the private sector. She began her career at Procter & Gamble and has also worked for Johnson & Johnson, Campbell's Soup, Coca- Cola and Diageo — the company that produces Captain Morgan rum.
"I had the good fortune of starting my career in marketing on the Ivory brand — one of America's oldest brands. But, I have now come to find that the Postal Service is probably one of the oldest brands in the country," Manabe said. "The most amazing thing about the brand, I think, is that like many of the other brands I've worked on, almost every American citizen has touched this brand at one point or the other. In fact, I suppose there's literally nobody in the country for whom they are not a customer of the Postal Service."
Surprisingly, she said, the pace of decision making at USPS is a lot quicker than some of the other companies for which she has worked.
"Some of these big companies are actually pretty bureaucratic — filled with layers, lots of decision makers, many people who weigh in to the decision around marketing," Manabe said. "Here, that process is very streamlined. Really, it's myself [and] the direct reports who report in to the CMSO making recommendations for the executive leadership team and the Postmaster General, and we make decisions every day. ... I think most people think a federal organization like the United States Postal Service would be really bureaucratic. But that's really far from the truth. It's really the fastest paced organization I've ever worked for."
While Manabe's official title with the agency is chief marketing and sales officer, she says chief revenue officer would be more accurate.
"When I started in this job, I said, 'Gee, I wish my title wasn't so long. And, instead of calling me the chief marketing and sales officer, I wish you could just call me the chief revenue officer.' Because my job is to help the Postal Service grow. And that's really my primary focus. Everything I do every day, I ask myself, 'Will it actually help to profitably grow our top-line growth?'"
On a daily basis, Manabe said her job can be broken down into three distinct parts:
Innovation is key
In addition to the standard products the Postal Service offers, Manabe said the agency is also focused on developing innovative new ideas to move the agency forward.
"Our bottom line is, every day, we have carriers going to every single location in the country — every business, every household. ... And because of that, we have a huge opportunity to get more leverage out of that existing network. So, my job is really to work with my team, to encourage folks to use the mail and to use our package services but, to also make those services more easily accessible."
It's new Metro Post pilot program is attempting to do just that. The new same-day delivery service launching in San Francisco allows a customer to order products online from companies that have partnered with the Postal Service. USPS then delivers those products to consumers the same day.
"All we're really doing is leveraging our existing network of equipment and capability to deliver something that we think will be a fantastic service for the American public. ... I think it's going to be an exciting new opportunity," Manabe said. "We've already had over a few dozen companies contacting us interested, many of them national companies, who would love to see us be successful in this test and then extend beyond that."
However, she said, there are some challenges as the Postal Service continues to adapt to the new environment it finds itself in.
"I think that the biggest challenge for the delivery industry, in general, is actually our biggest challenge — which is that consumer and customer expectations are changing rapidly. Our job is to keep pace with those rising expectations," Manabe said. "Ten years ago people used to ask the question 'Should I even give my credit card info online? Is that even safe?' Now, to turnaround and say, 'I want to order something and I'd like to have it the very next day or the same day' is incredible. In a world of rising expectations and changing expectations, moving quickly enough and responding to customer and consumer needs is really the toughest task. Keeping pace with that pace of innovation and change is critically important, and having an entire organization move with that change is really a big job."
Manabe said those expectations could change the face of the Postal Service in the future.
"Our commitment going forward, 5, 10, 20 years, is that we will continue to keep pace with the change in the U.S. economy so that we are as vibrant a delivery service in 20 years as we were 100 years ago. That's our commitment," Manabe said. "I believe you might not recognize us 20 years from now because we will have changed so much, but we'll still be there delivering letters, packages and any other form of communications required to every household in America."

Men's Basketball Deflates Late in 97-80 Loss at Barton
February 17, 2011
Story Courtesy of Barton Sports Information
WILSON, N.C. - The inside-outside combination of senior forward L.J. Dunn and junior guard Jaren Haley powered the Barton College Bulldogs to a 97-80 victory Thursday night over visiting Pfeiffer and into sole possession of third place in the Conference Carolinas mens basketball standings. Dunn (Raleigh, N.C.) recorded game-highs of 29 points and 14 rebounds and Haley (Woodbridge, Va.) rained in six 3-pointers for 26 points and added five assists. The surging Bulldogs rose to 15-9 overall and 10-6 in the league with their third straight win. Pfeiffer exited at 10-13 overall and 8-7 in conference play.
Dunn, junior forward Jon Benitez (Gambrills, Md.) and junior forward Jo Jo Velez (Woodbridge, Va.) teamed up to hold league-leading scorer Chris Woods (Thomasville, N.C.) to 15 points and 11 rebounds. Pfeiffer was led by junior guard Davon Gilliard, who had 22 points, thanks to 11-of-14 shooting from the foul line.
Barton was nursing a scant 74-72 lead with 6:30 remaining when Haley recorded a rare four-point play. With just under five minutes left, Haley went wild, swishing three consecutive 3-point bombs from different angles. He followed that spree with a layup for a personal 11-point run that put the Bulldogs in command at 91-78 with 2:06 showing.
The physical affair featured 46 fouls and 67 free-throw attempts. Pfeiffer was 29-of-37 (78.4 percent) from the charity stripe while the Bulldogs were 23-of-30 (76.7 percent). From the field, Barton cashed 32-of-72 shots for 44.4 percent and limited the Falcons to 22-of-62 for 35.5 percent.
Dunn, who sat out the final eight-plus minutes of the first half after picking up his second foul, had 10 points and seven boards at the break. For the game, he finished 9-of-12 from the floor, 11-of-12 from the foul line and dished off two assists.
The Bulldogs also got 14 points, five steals and three assists from sophomore point guard Gerald Boston (Burlington, N.C.) and 13 points, four steals and four assists from sophomore guard Jarrett Jernigan (Virginia Beach, Va.) Barton finished the night with 24 assists, 13 steals and just eight turnovers while benefiting from 16 Pfeiffer turnovers. Junior 6-foot-10 forward Eli Gillis (Franklin, Tenn.) added 14 points for the Falcons, who split the season-series with Barton. Sophomore guard Josh Humphrey (Matthews, N.C.) contributed 10 points and eight boards.
In the first half, Barton trailed 20-19 with 12:14 left, but went on an 11-0 run behind six points from Dunn, a Boston 3-pointer and a layup from Velez. A putback jam by sophomore forward Jon Hart (Mount Olive, N.C.) ignited the run. Pfeiffer finally broke the drought with four foul shots, but then Jernigan caught fire, drilling three straight 3-pointers for a 17-point Barton lead at 41-24 at 7:03.
The Falcons battled back with a 24-9 run to trail just 50-48 at intermission. Gilliard scored eight points for Pfeiffer during their late first-half surge. The game featured four ties and eight lead changes.

|A Large Herd of Chick-fil-A Cows Invade All Children's Hospital
Along with Chick-fil-A team members, the cows visited patient rooms and distributed plush cow toys for patients and tasty Chick-fil-A sandwiches for hospital staff.
Many of the cows also roamed the hospital lobby and corridors giving employees and visitors a chance to get a coveted cow photo.
Darian, a 7-year-old patient from Bradenton who was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, was greeted by one of the 8-foot tall cows who entered his room as he was getting ready to be discharged. "He was pretty surprised when that happened," said his mom, Kendra. "He thought that was pretty cool. What a neat way to end our stay."
"We're a community-based business and All Children's is a community-based hospital, so this visit is a great fit for us," said David Neely, owner of the 4th Street Chick-fil-A store in St. Petersburg. "It's great to see the love the children have for the cows and it always seems to bring a smile to their face."

|Mike Sexton recipient of 2009 Global Award for Body Toonups
Creative Services Director Mike Sexton is the proud recipient of a 2009 Global Award for Healthcare Communications! This prestigious international honor recognizes excellence in creative healthcare communications and is sought after by an impressive list of major advertising agencies as well as healthcare corporations and educators.
Many hospital employees and their families are familiar with the musical plays Mike co-wrote and produced along with former Foundation Executive VP Joel Momberg. Aimed at school-aged kids, the plays impart important health and safety messages through song and skits. In 2008, several songs from those plays were produced as animated cartoons through a generous grant from Kohl's Department Stores. It is these "Body Toonups" cartoons that garnered a 2009 Global Award.
The Global Awards are the world's largest and most coveted healthcare communications awards - the only ones dedicated to the recognition of excellence on an international basis. The winners' list reads like a "who's who" of major advertising and marketing agencies in New York City, across the United States and numerous foreign countries.
The Globals receive entries from healthcare corporations, hospitals and education groups as well as from advertising agencies, design studios and production companies. The result is an unparalleled combination of medical, pharmaceutical and general health-related marketing messages to be judged. All entries are judged by a panel of international industry experts, representing the top creative minds in the field of healthcare advertising. This year, over 200 agencies and production companies, representing over 20 countries, submitted their work in the competition. Over 60 healthcare communication agency executives participated in the judging process in sessions held around the world.
Achieving a Global Award is a remarkable accolade. Congratulations, Mike!

The C# Ecosystem can be extended with custom rules either by:
- defining your own rules directly through the Sonar web interface using XPath expressions
- or by reusing custom rules defined in external tools
Extending Coding Rules using XPath (since version 2.0)
New coding rules can be added using XPath. See the related documentation.
To navigate the AST, download the SSLR CSharp Toolkit.
Reusing Custom Rules from External Tools
Once you have packaged your custom rule in a dll file and added it to your FxCop/Gendarme/StyleCop installation, you need to:
- add an XML file describing this rule in the "$SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/ENGINE" where $SONAR_HOME is the root directory of your sonar installation and ENGINE is either "fxcop", "gendarme" or "stylecop".
- restart Sonar
- add those new rules to your quality profiles so that they are used during the next Sonar analysis.
Below details on the format of these files.
FxCop XML Format
RULE_CLASS being the name of the .net rule class.
ASSEMBLY.DLL being the name of the dll assembly file containing the rule class.
The XML fragment above assumes that the dll is located in the same directory as the standard fxcop assembly rules files.
Note: to help writing this XML files, "vladonemo" has written a C# program that generates this file based on your custom rules DLL. You can check this out on GitHub, but be aware that this comes with no garanty.
Let's assume you have implemented a rule that checks if variable name follows a naming convention. You have implemented it in a class called "VariableConventionNameCheck", and you have compiled it into a "MyNamingConvetions.dll" assembly file.
Then, you should write the following code snippet in the XML file:
Gendarme XML Format
RULE_CLASS being the name of the .net rule class.
ASSEMBLY.DLL being the name of the dll assembly file containing the rule class. This file should be located in the installation directory of Gendarme, among the dll files provided by Gendarme out of the box.
See the example of FxCop XML format, this is the same principle.
StyleCop XML Format

Porcelain spoons great for more than egg-drop soup
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Chinese spoons hold spices, from 12 o'clock, moving clockwise, nutmeg, pepper corns, chili flakes, cocoa powder, curry powder, chili powder, and allspice. Chinese spoons are useful for much more than slurping soup.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Chinese spoons
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Chinese spoons have many uses in the kitchen.
There is something pleasing about the size and shape, the heft, of these sturdy porcelain spoons that come with soup in Chinese restaurants.
For Christmas this year, I received my own set of eight. I want to use them all the time, but as cool as they are, they have limited functionality on the dining table.
I was searching my kitchen cupboards for a suitable cupcake-batter ladling device, however, and spotted the Chinese spoons. "Ha!" I thought.
And I was right. They are just the right size to spoon batter into paper muffin cups and not all over the tin.
Now, a version of the spoon stars on the new TV food show "The Taste," with Nigella Lawson and Anthony Bourdain (8 p.m. Tuesdays on ABC). Contestants have to create a meal, then serve the judges one spectacular bite of it on each spoon.
The nifty spoons cost about $1 each at Asian markets and some grocery stores. They are a great kitchen toy for an $8 investment.
Here are some other uses for the spoons.
Batter up: Great size and nimbleness for ladling cupcake batter into cups.
Avoid the double-dip: On a buffet for individual servings of dips and spreads, like salsa, guacamole and hummus.
Mise en place: That's French for "everything in place," and refers to prepping and setting out all the ingredients in a recipe before starting to cook or bake.
Soup's on: Good for all kinds of soup, whether thick or brothy, but especially for pho and egg drop soup.
"Measuring" spoon: Test your spoons -- mine hold about 1 tablespoon of liquid and about 2 tablespoons of heaped food, like chopped nuts, dried cranberries or diced peppers.
On the side: Offer individual servings of dressing, dippers or sauce for dieters.
Service station: Use one with each topping when serving curry (peanuts, coconut, chutney) or build-your-own tacos (onions, queso, chopped tomato).
