A future without fossil fuel.
Since 1970, we've spent more than a trillion dollars just buying foreign oil. More than 50 percent of the oil we use is imported. The growing costs of these imports deprive us of money we could otherwise use to rebuild our industries and transportation systems, and to fund our medical care and educational systems.
Each year the US spends $56 billion on imported oil and another $25 billion for the military defense of our oil interests in the Middle East. Federal subsidies to the oil industry drain another $20 billion or so while the environmental and health impacts of air pollution add another $150 billion. The total comes to more than $250 billion a year.
The nation's domestic petroleum reserves are declining sharply. In 1994, for the first time, the US began importing more than half of its oil. Slaking the nation's growing thirst for oil already consumes 9 million barrels of foreign crude a day. If current trends continue, the US will be totally dependent on imported oil in just 15 years.
The sooner we make it a high priority to create a modern, energy-efficient and renewable energy economy, the sooner we can begin enjoying all its economic advantages in trade, energy security, employment and domestic investment. A global fossil-fuel economy is not sustainable for environmental reasons, especially in a world likely to contain ten billion people by the year 2070.
Efficiency: The Sleeping Giant
Efficiency is unquestionably the best resource because it makes energy cost-effective, profitable, safe, clean and dependable. At least half of all electricity we generate could be saved through the use of readily available energy-efficient motors and lighting.
With the US spending about $500 billion on energy every year, even a I percent net energy savings is worth nearly $5 billion a year. Greater efficiencies mean less pollution and improved public health and safety -- with no sacrifices or lifestyle changes.
In addition to savings on energy, powerplants and equipment, efficiency also spurs economic activity. And, since industries that are more efficient require fewer powerplants, they also create less pollution, and less money would need to be diverted for costly cleanups.
Because a kilowatt can be saved for a fraction of the cost of producing a new one, saving energy often pays far better internal rates of return than typical financial investments. But, unlike ordinary investments, the payback is tax-free, since it comes in the form of savings rather than as taxable income.
By taking full advantage of all the renewable and energy-efficient (R&E) technology now available, the US in the long-term could save more than $300 billion a year in energy costs while eliminating billions of tons of air pollution.
Energy savings in US buildings (which consume 40 percent of all our energy) could amount to more than $100 billion a year. Savings from making electric motors and lighting more efficient would yield another $75 billion annually. Overall electricity use could be reduced by three-quarters -- with no loss in energy services. Huge improvements in energy efficiency are also possible in the transportation sector (which derives 97 percent of its energy from oil). Vehicle fuel efficiency, for example, can be increased tenfold.
Increased energy efficiency already saves the US economy more than $110 billion a year over what we would be spending had energy efficiency not begun increasing after the 1973 oil embargo. By 1990, the reduction in actual electricity use, compared to forecasts based on US economic output (GNP) growth, was equal to the output of 350 large (1,000-megawatt) baseload powerplants. From 1973 to 1986, reduced electrical demand from improved efficiency averted the production of more than 880 million tons of C[O.sub.2].
Making the Transition
What the steam engine was to the 18th and 19th centuries and electricity was to the 20th, renewable energy, energy efficiency and electrified transport will be to the 21st century.
Major transformations in energy technology have occurred swiftly in the past. From about 1920 to 1970, US coal use dropped from 70 percent of our energy supply to less than 20 percent as we shifted to oil. During the 1980s and 1990s, a shift from oil to natural gas occurred. California, which produced 25 percent of its electricity from petroleum in 1980, now derives less than 1 percent of its power from oil.
We can have vast quantities of solar-thermal, photovoltaic, wind and biomass power as well as passive and active solar heat, if we choose them. Most renewable technologies are already less costly than nuclear power, and several are within 2 cents a kilowatt-hour (kwh) of new coal plants.
Photovoltaic, the most expensive of the commercial renewables, is already cost-competitive in 60 niche markets that include remote power and decentralized grid support. Solar cell panels that cost $1,000 a peak watt in the 1960s and $30 in the early 1970s cost only $4 by the mid-1990s, and the price is still decreasing rapidly.
Wind power, the most cost-competitive renewable, is now cheaper than nuclear power or electrical power from petroleum, and its costs are comparable to those of new coal plants. Wind power, which used to cost about 30 cents per kwh in the late 1970s, dropped down to about 6 cents per kwh in 1995. It now costs about 4 cents per kwh in the windiest areas.
Most renewables can be built in resilient, decentralized, efficient networks, close to users. They create few significant waste hazards and require no need for authoritarian political institutions to protect the public from "solar energy terrorism" or "silicon cell proliferation." Except for the risk of dam failures in the case of hydropower, renewables present no risk of catastrophic accidents.
Today we live in a "throwaway" society. We consume resources and discard the resulting waste at a furious rate. Conventional energy systems epitomize the throwaway approach: They burn fuel and produce copious waste. These practices presume both infinite resources and an infinite planetary capacity for assimilating waste.
Creating a sustainable energy economy would be a major break with the throwaway approach. Living primarily off of efficient, renewable energy income rather than off fossil fuel capital would allow us eventually to achieve not only a clean energy economy but a clean environment with clean industries.
Sustainable Nations
Developing nations that lack an adequate national electricity transmission and distribution grid would find decentralized renewable energy systems to be economically competitive and generally preferable.
If renewables fail to take root in the developing nations, those countries will most assuredly resort to the cheapest combustion technologies they can find, including coal and wood (often cut in unsustainable ways from dwindling tropical forests).
The US today is neither modeling the rapid commercialization of renewables nor providing developing countries with sufficient assistance in adopting them. The US Agency for International Development's energy assistance budget for the fiscal year of 1996 was less than $20 million. Meanwhile, as developing countries get richer, their energy-use surges and their air pollution grows.
China's C[O.sub.2] emissions have grown more than 200 percent between 1970 and 1990. At this rate, China will be the world's largest C[O.sub.2] producer in a mere 20 or 30 years. If we fail to vigorously bring the merits of efficiency and renewables to the attention of developing nations, they will make massive long-term commitments to fossil fuel plants that will spew pollution into the air for the next 30 to 40 years.
A Blueprint for Action
Renewables have been held back by enormous economic and political obstacles. Taxpayer subsidies have helped make fossil fuels inexpensive and difficult competition for renewables. The fossil fuel and nuclear industries today command more than 90 percent of the US energy market, and their dominance has enabled them to grow rich and powerful.
The decades-old practice of putting fossil fuels and nuclear power first in federal funding is clearly inappropriate to our national needs as we approach the next millennium, and it is counter to the wishes of most Americans.
Polls conducted in 1994 and 1995 by Republican pollster Vince Breglio show that almost two-thirds of Americans believe that renewables should be the Department of Energy's (DOE) highest or second-highest funding priority; 73 percent said that funding for nuclear and fossil fuel development programs should be cut to reduce the DOE's budget. But in 1995 the DOE spent over $3.3 billion on applied energy R&D and energy-related basic research, but only $363 million on all renewable energy technologies combined.
The FY 1998 R&E budget has been raised to $914 million, but the Sustainable Energy Coalition [315 Circle Avenue, No. 2, Takoma Park, MD 20912-4, (301) 270-2258,fax: 891-2866] has called for a 52 percent increase to $1.4 billion "consistent with President Clinton's recent call for an increase of $5 billion over the next 5 years; to achieve his proposed climate change goals."
The US currently has about 100,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity that is at least 40 years old. We could design strong incentives for utilities to voluntarily accelerate the retirement of these obsolete, polluting plants and replace them with renewables.
Over the next 15 years, the US is expected to build the equivalent of 180 new large powerplants (180 gigawatts) at a cost of $150 billion. Were this new demand to be met by renewables, it would help bring down prices, greatly enhancing their competitiveness. But the DOE estimates that, without intensified support for renewables, their share of the US energy pie will grow by only 2 percent from 1990 to 2010 (rising from 11 to 13 percent).
Placing a modest carbon fee on natural gas and oil fuels would generate enormous revenue that would make possible reductions in other taxes, including personal income taxes. Even a 50 cent-a-gallon gas tax would generate perhaps $60 billion a year, while leaving US gas prices legs than half of those in western Europe. (Transitional impacts of any fuel-price increases on low-income Americans should be offset by appropriate direct compensation payments to affected people and regions.)
By shifting taxation from labor to energy, a carbon charge would also make labor less expensive relative to energy and would, therefore, tend to stimulate both employment and investment.
Internationally, the US should undertake a cooperative Renewable Energy Initiative to set timetables for nations to convert from fossil and nuclear to sustainable energy sources. This could culminate in a renewable energy pact, along the lines of the Earth Summit convention signed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992.
Conversion to a sustainable energy economy will be a long-term change, not nearly as abrupt as the corporate downsizing that has thrown many people out of work.
Bringing about a renewable energy economy will be a complicated and contentious process. No single set of national policies will take best advantage of local renewable resource assets, political realities and institutional conditions. Ultimately, an intricate lattice of policies will be crafted by state, regional and local stakeholders operating under broad federal guidelines.
Presidential leadership is greatly needed. President Clinton should project an inspiring vision of a sustainable energy economy and should challenge the nation to become the world's first renewably powered nation.

Pakistan won the first ODI comprehensively by seven wickets in a rain effected contest.
Belfast: Ireland will be aiming to level the two match one day international (ODI) series against Pakistan as they two teams clash for the second time in three days at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Stormont, Belfast.
The visitors won the first ODI comprehensively by seven wickets after Ireland were bundled out for 96 in a match that was reduced to 36 overs per side because of rain.
Junaid Khan, the 21-year-old left-arm pacer, playing only his fifth ODI was the hero for Pakistan with three wickets in four overs on his way to four for 12 in five.
He ended Paul Stirling's whirlwind 39 from 22 balls and later removed Ireland's other big-hitter, Kevin O'Brien, scorer of the fastest ever World Cup century during the recent win against England.
However, the Irish will take heart from the fact that they have got a victory under their belt against the Pakistan which was secured in the 2007 ICC World Cup in the only other one dayer between the two sides.
Pakistan on their part will want to make sure that they carry on their impressive form in one dayers which includes a series win in their recently concluded away series against the West Indies.

Great British Chefs search allows you to search for ingredients, recipes,
chefs and restaurants. Here are some examples:
Princess "Cake Middleton" as she was quickly nicknamed by the press, is 5'6", weighs over 200 pounds, and mostly made of butter pound cake, Rice Krispie Treats and white chocolate fondant. She was created by Houston-based cake designer Nadine Moon from Who Made The Cake.
The cake took Nadine and her team a week to build before it went on display at the Bridal Extravaganza Show in Houston. The show's officials reached out to Kensington Palace to see if the Kate, William and the Royal family would like the cake shipped over. Strangely enough they haven't responded yet, and think they have quite a lot on their hands.
Perhaps Kate would be more interested in treats that she would have been advised not to eat over the last nine months. How about a delicious chocolate mousse cake? Any foods containing raw eggs should be avoided during pregnancy so Kate may be craving some cakes with a mousse topping.
Josh Eggleton's Chocolate and Peanut Mousse cake for example. Especially when served with some cooling gingerbread ice cream.
How about William Drabble's Chocolate Mousse Cake with a fresh raspberry sorbet? This lush chocolate mousse cake recipe pairs the thick, spongey cake with raspberry sorbet and raspberry sauce.
Mrs Beeton's Snow Eggs - Marcus Wareing
For something lighter Kate could now tuck into Marcus Wareing's version of Mrs Beeton's snow eggs. Although they don't contain raw eggs, those pregnant are also advised not to eat lightly cooked eggs. The meringue that floats on top of the custard on these delicious puddings is very lightly steamed. Similar to Îles flottant they make a beautiful airy dessert.
Perhaps Kate has been craving soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert and blue veined cheeses like Danish Blue, Gorgonzola and Roquefort.
Roquefort and cinnamon doughnuts, white chocolate and cognac jelly - Pascal Aussignac
She won't have to say no to anything on a cheese board now, but we'd like to suggest these special treats. Delicate crispy, cinnamon-coated doughnuts from Pascal Aussignac are filled with an indulgent and unique blend of white chocolate and Roquefort cheese making them devilishly moreish.
Duck Liver Parfait - Josh Eggleton
In addition to all those mousses and soft cheeses, Kate will now be able to tuck into pates, liver, mayonnaise and all sorts of cured meats which she would have been advised to avoid while pregnant.
To all the Mums out there what foods did you crave when pregnant that you weren't allowed to eat?
Let us know what foods you'd suggest for Kate. Do you think she'd like the life size cake featured at the start? Or perhaps she'd just prefer a toasted sandwich filled with Danish Blue and mayo? Let us know here or over on Great British Chefs Facebook page.

Re: KAZANTIP music exhibition in Crimea
crimea is not Russia, its in Ukraine. Russian language they understand and speak, but Ukrainian is the language since 1992...
maybe buy a traveltranslationbook or learn some important sentences before you go
Most of the younger generation speaks English btw
have a great time

Re: KAZANTIP music exhibition in Crimea
Just noticed an interesting article about Kazantip:
Journey & stay
Interested? Of course you are. And the party just started this weekend, so you have plenty of time left to get there between now and the finale on August 26th. In fact, a number of friends of mine went down there for the inaugural bash, and filled my phone all weekend with tantalizing texts about the magnificent scene). So how do you get there? Easy. Held this year in Popovka, Crimea, you have a number of options. You could certainly take a bus or an overnight train to save some cash, but, if you're like most of us, you really only have the weekend to spare, so a short flight is your best bet. With roundtrip fares from Kyiv advertised as low as150 roundtrip, you're really not going to break the bank (but, as with most flights, the prices can vary wildly, and there's often a number of hidden "taxes," so call ahead, get a few quotes and be smart about it. You're probably more likely to spend at least200, if not a little more if you buy your tickets just a few days before. KaZantip is partnered with Tourbuero tourist company, so you may want to check with them online for any more information).
Once you land in Simferopol, you'll need to get a cab to the site itself. This can be arranged through the KaZantip organizers, though, at 45 euros per person roundtrip. If you have a few friends with you and speak even a bit of Russian, you're probably better off haggling with any number of taxi drivers. If you've ever flown into Simferopol before, you know there's no shortage of chain-smoking men clamoring at the gates to drive you anywhere you want to go as long as the price is right. I'm told deals can be made anywhere from50 to100 per carful, depending on your haggling skills and the desperation of the driver. The ride should take a few hours, but you'll be too excited to notice. Besides, some of the best scenery in Ukraine can be seen on the roads from Simferopol to the party site, so take a camera, and try not to be afraid when it seems that the road in front of you couldn't possibly handle two passing cars. Such is the miracle of the peninsula.
And your choices of lodging are as varied as the revelers themselves. There are no hotels near the Rave Republic and camping is no longer tolerated, but the organizers, once again, have everything under control. At the lowest end, for 100 euros a night, you can get the Comfort Room Plus, a standard spot with two beds and a private bathroom in a large boarding house. Extra beds cost 15 euros more a day, with a maximum of four per room. For only 20 euros more, treat yourself to the Luxurious Room, where both sleeping quarters and bathroom are bigger, you can choose between two small mattresses or a single spacious double bed, and you get air conditioning, a TV/DVD combo and a fridge. Also, you'll be in a small cottage with a quiet backyard (never a bad thing to have a nice place to escape the madness for a few minutes) complete with BBQ. If you're looking to splurge a little more, the Be Famous room, for 160 euros, has all the accoutrements of the former, but with a sitting room complete with divan and table, as well as a terrace. And, if you think you can make the cut, the Exclusive room, for 300 euros, has internet, a private garden, 24-hour security, with a shared billiard room, sauna, in-house swimming pool and a kitchen with a private cook. Perhaps, more importantly, the website explains that this house is "where the most beautiful dancing and party girls stay." But there's only two of these rooms, and applicants will be "selected." Long-term clients are preferred for both the Be Famous and Exclusive accommodations, though money usually talks, and, if either is empty when you want to go, you can probably get a night or two. However, for those who really want to make an impression—and have the cash to do it—the Accommodation Oligarch is the only choice. For anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 euros a day, the organizers of KaZantip will get you an entire house within spitting distance of the festivities. Or, if you prefer (and why wouldn't you?), they can get you a catamaran or yacht parked right in front of the main party beach. Good for between four and twenty people, this is the only way to roll for the monied set, spending your afternoons waving to Russian banking moguls and rap stars from hull to hull. However, if none of these options sound appealing, I'm told by those who've been there that there's plenty of locals trying to capitalize off the influx of foreigners, and deals can be made outside the purview of the supreme ruler. Keep your ears open, look around, don't be overly trusting and perhaps you can find a nicer place at a better price.
Getting around
As for those activities necessary to sustain life (so often forgotten at events such as this), food and water in Crimea are notoriously cheap, and there are plenty of markets where you can buy more than you'll need of Ukraine's perfect produce at prices that reflect only a slight markup. (There's also a number of small cafes and bars, where you can get a shwarma or two, and even more complex dishes. But don't expect magic: most of these employees have been up for as long as you have, so order simple). Also, keep an eye out for entrepreneurial "citiZens," looking to make a fast buck or two selling homemade food. Look at the person closely, check out the food, and then decide if you feel comfortable enough to buy. There are plenty of safe places to exchange your euro or dollars, and ATMs abound, but there's not many proper shops near the site, so go through your baggage twice to make sure you've packed everything you think you'll need. If you have a Ukrainian cell phone, the reception should be fine (it certainly was as my friends were taunting me with there SMSs) and the temperatures in Crimea are notoriously perfect this time of year, so you can leave your corduroy at home. What's more, if the need should arise, the supreme leader of the republic has made sure to have a team of licensed doctors and first-aid kits on hand.
As for entry to the festival itself, if you think you'll be visiting more than once, then the 75 euros multiaccess pass is for you, and it can be reserved it online. If you think just a night or two will be enough, daily passes are available at the gate, but you can't get one in advance (though I've never heard of the party being too full to admit just one more would-be reveler). This is the last obstacle to the full five weeks of decadence and dancing.
But, really, all the information above should be the last time you have to think about any of this nonsense. KaZantip is not about planning. It's about the spontaneous possibilities life can offer when you're in the middle of an autonomous republic, dancing to some of the best electronica in Europe broadcast through the latest club technology, and surrounded by thousands of fellow "paradiZers." Any attempt to describe it does a great disservice to its unique genius. So figure out how to explain to your boss that a sick aunt needs a ride somewhere next Monday, and I'll see you in paradiZe!

Edinburgh is one of Europe's top tourist destinations with the annual Festival and Hogmanay Party being major attractions for visitors from all around the world.
Major visitor attractions include the castle, Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Zoo (currently home to the only two giant pandas in the UK).
The area is a golfer's paradise with many local courses including Muirfield, home of the 2013 Open Championship. Slightly further afield are the famous Old Course, St. Andrews and Gleneagles (venue for the 2014 Ryder Cup), both around a 1 hour's drive from the city.
Newington is a hugely popular neighbourhood to the south of the city centre, served by excellent local amenities including a wide range of everyday and speciality shops, bars, restaurants and cafes. Many festival fringe venues are located within walking distance. Leisure facilities are plentiful with the Royal Commonwealth Pool and the green open spaces of the Meadows, Arthur's Seat, Holyrood Park, and several golf courses close by. Local cultural venues include Festival Theatre, Queen's Hall and the Scottish Parliament with many more, such as the castle and Royal Mile just a short walk away.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a ruling on March 2, 2012 that strikes down part of the National Labor Relations Board's notice posting rule, but declines to address whether the three recess appointments to the Board are valid.
The lawsuit at issue was brought by, among other entities, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and the National Right to Work Legal Defense and Education Foundation (NRTW). It sought to enjoin the enforcement of the Board's new rule mandating that as of April 30, 2012, private sector employers subject to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) post a notice informing employees of their rights under the NLRA in a "conspicuous place" readily seen by employees and penalizing employers for non-compliance. In the event an employer is found to have violated the posting rule, the Board would be permitted, among other remedies, to toll the six month statute of limitations for an employee who files an unfair labor practice (ULP) charge. This provision would extend the statute of limitations for all unfair labor practice actions against the employer, not just those ULPs arising from the failure to post the notice. The rule would deem a failure to post the required notice a ULP in its own right.

Holding movie screenings, tabling at lunch, getting a veggie burger in your cafeteria, cutting out dissection at your school, throwing a vegan food party, organizing a protest, holding a vegan bake sale, collecting blankets, food, and other supplies to donate to your local animal shelter …
What do all of these things have in common? They're all things YOU can do to help animals when you start a student group at your school!
There's no better (or more fun) way to help animals at your school than by starting a student group. It's SUPER easy—check out our brand new student group starter pack here. Inside, you'll find tons of help and ideas—plus sign-up sheet and full-page flier that you can edit yourself to include the name of your group and times of your meetings. Sweet!
Here's how to start a student group at your school:
That's IT! What are you waiting for? Get printin'!
P.S.—You can get 5,000 Street Team points for starting a student group at your school, just e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com when you're all set up!
Please log in to comment.

Just start by straight off emailing the school with any questions on where to get started. The first step it always the hardest and it is so easy to procrastinate, just do it now! Maybe look though the starter kit for some ideas, and ask your teachers if it is okay for you to hang up some flyers around your school to promote your club, assuming it will be aporved. Get an adult (like a favorite teacher) to help you out, its easier to get things going when you know people are counting on it! Good luck and have fun!

I want to start a group at my school, but what should I do if I end up with a bunch of bacon junkies and fur lovers who just want to help the "important" ad "cute" animals?
1308 days ago
If you do get people like that, what can it hurt? Maybe you'll be able to change a few minds, maybe explained the way the meat and fur industry exploits animals (I wouldn't suggest showing any vids at first- the gore and blood might be a little too tramatic for people not uesed to the idea yet). Maybe explain that the idea of your club is for ALL animals, and if they're only interested in the 'cute' animals, just let them know that even just singing a petition for maybe an animal that they consider 'ugly' or not as important will not do them any harm…just have some fun with it…! I went vegetarian straight off after reading just one leaflet! Good luck, hope this helps!

I installed power stop pads and rotors for the front and rear on my car. Installation was simple! The parts look of great quality! I drive in heavy traffic to and from work with a lot of abrupt breaking and stopping. These parts have saved me from a few close calls, even on rainy days/ wet roads. I have read posts of warpage and break noise I have not experience anything like that with these parts. No noise, nor pulsation just nice high end reliable performance breaking power! Hugh upgrade!

And most surely most of the people are deniers of the meeting of their Lord. 9Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were stronger than these in prowess, and dug up the earth, and built on it in greater abundance than these have built on it, and there came to them their apostles with clear arguments; so it was not beseeming for Allah that He should deal with them unjustly, but they dealt unjustly with their own souls. 10Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they | rejected the communications of Allah and used to mock them. 11Allah originates the creation, then reproduces it, then to Him you shall be brought back. 12And at the time when the hour shall come the guilty shall be in despair. 13And they shall not have any intercessors from among their gods they have joined with Allah, and they shall be deniers of their associate-gods. 14And at the time when the hour shall come, at that time they shall become separated one from the other. 15Then as to those who believed and did good, they shall be made happy in a garden. 16And as to those who disbelieved and rejected Our communications and the meeting of the hereafter, these shall be brought over to the chastisement. 17Therefore glory be to Allah when you enter upon the time of the evening and when you enter upon the time of the morning. 18And to Him belongs praise in the heavens and the earth, and at nightfall and when you are at midday. 19He brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living, and gives life to the earth after its death, and thus shall you be brought forth. 20And one of His signs is that He created you from dust, then lo! you are mortals (who) scatter. 21And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest in them, and He put between you love and compassion; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect. 22And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your tongues and colors; most surely there are signs in this for the learned. 23And one of His signs is your sleeping and your seeking of His grace by night and (by) day; most surely there are signs in this for a people who would hear. 24And one of His signs is that He shows you the lightning for fear and for hope, and sends down water from the clouds then gives life therewith to the earth after its death; most surely there are signs in this for a people who understand 25And one of His signs is that the heaven and the earth subsist by His command, then when He calls you with a (single) call from out of the earth, lo! you come forth. 26And His is whosoever is in the heavens and the earth; all are obedient to Him. 27And He it is Who originates the creation, then reproduces it, and it is easy to Him; and His are the most exalted attributes in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. 28He sets forth to you a parable relating to yourselves: Have you among those whom your right hands possess partners in what We have given you for sustenance, so that with respect to it you are alike; you fear them as you fear each other? Thus do We make the communications distinct for a people who understand. 29Nay! those who are unjust follow their low desires without any knowledge; so who can guide him whom Allah makes err? And they shall have no helpers. 30Then set your face upright for religion in the right state-- the nature made by Allah in which He has made men; there is no altering of Allah's creation; that is the right religion, but most people do not know-- 31Turning to Him, and be careful of (your duty to) Him and keep up prayer and be not of the polytheists 32Of those who divided their religion and became seas every sect rejoicing in what they had with them 33And when harm afflicts men, they call upon their Lord, turning to Him, then when He makes them taste of mercy from Him, lo! some of them begin to associate (others) with their Lord, 34So as to be ungrateful for what We have given them; but enjoy yourselves (for a while), for you shall soon come to know. 35Or, have We sent down upon them an authority so that it speaks of that which they associate with Him? 36And when We make people taste of mercy they rejoice in it, and if an evil befall them for what their hands have already wrought, lo! they are in despair. 37Do they not see that Allah makes ample provision for whom He pleases, or straitens? Most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe. 38Then give to the near of kin his due, and to the needy and the wayfarer; this is best for those who desire Allah's pleasure, and these it is who are successful. 39And whatever you lay out as usury, so that it may increase in the property of men, it shall not increase with Allah; and whatever you give in charity, desiring Allah's pleasure-- it is these (persons) that shall get manifold. 40Allah is He Who created you, then gave you sustenance, then He causes you to die, then brings you to life. Is there any of your associate-gods who does aught of it? Glory be to Him, and exalted be He above what they associate (with Him). 41Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return. 42Say: Travel in the land, then see how was the end of those before; most of them were polytheists. 43Then turn thy face straight to the right religion before there come from Allah the day which cannot be averted; on that day they shall become separated. 44Whoever disbelieves, he shall be responsible for his disbelief, and whoever does good, they prepare (good) for their own souls, 45That He may reward those who believe and do good out of His grace; surely He does not love the unbelievers. 46And one of His signs is that He sends forth the winds bearing good news, and that He may make your taste of His mercy, and that the ships may run by His command, and that you may seek of His grace, and that you may be grateful. 47And certainly We sent before you apostles to their people, so they came to them with clear arguments, then We gave the punishment to those who were guilty; and helping the believers is ever incumbent on Us. 48Allah is he Who sends forth the winds so they raise a cloud, then He spreads it forth in the sky as He pleases, and He breaks it up so that you see the rain coming forth from inside it; then when He causes it to fall upon whom He pleases of His servants, lo! they are joyful 49Though they were before this, before it was sent down upon them, confounded in sure despair. 50Look then at the signs of Allah's mercy, how He gives life to the earth after its death, most surely He will raise the dead to life; and He has power over all things. 51And if We send a wind and they see it to be yellow, they would after that certainly continue to disbelieve 52For surely you cannot, make the dead to hear and you cannot make the deaf to hear the call, when they turn back and 53Nor can you lead away the blind out of their error. You cannot make to hear any but those who believe in Our communications so they shall submit. 54Allah is He Who created you from a state of weakness then He gave strength after weakness, then ordained weakness and hoary hair after strength; He creates what He pleases, and He is the Knowing, the Powerful. 55And at the time when the hour shall come, the guilty shall swear (that) they did not tarry but an hour; thus are they ever turned away. 56And those who are given knowledge and faith will say: Certainly you tarried according to the ordinance of Allah till the day of resurrection, so this is the day of resurrection, but you did not know. 57But on that day their excuse shall not profit those who were unjust, nor shall they be regarded with goodwill. 58And certainly We have set forth for men every kind of example in this Quran; and if you should bring them a communication, those who disbelieve would certainly say: You are naught but false claimants. 59Thus does Allah set a seal on the hearts of those who do not know. 60Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah is true and let not those who have no certainty hold you in light estimation.

After threat, NY rep. faces temperament questions
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm has never been shy about promoting himself as a tough guy.
When he ran for Congress in 2009, he highlighted his service in the Marines and as an undercover FBI agent. After his election, he brushed off allegations that he'd once brandished a gun during an early-morning altercation at a New York City nightclub by saying he was armed but hadn't verbally threatened to kill anyone.
"That's not my personality. I don't need to speak that way," he told a writer for the New Yorker. "A guy with a gun who knows how to use it doesn't need to say anything."
The Staten Island Republican's temperament is at the forefront again after he was caught on camera threatening a television news reporter.
The confrontation occurred on a balcony in the Capitol following the president's State of the Union address Tuesday night. Grimm walked out of an interview with the New York City cable news station NY1 when reporter Michael Scotto tried to throw in a last question about a long-running FBI investigation into his campaign finances.
After Scotto finished his report, Grimm stormed back, leaned into Scotto and said, "Let me be clear to you. If you ever do that to me again, I'll throw you off this (expletive) balcony."
Scotto protested, saying he was asking "a valid question."
Grimm glanced at the camera, leaned in again and said, "No. No. You're not man enough. You're not man enough. I'll break you in half. Like a boy."
Asked about it soon afterward, Grimm was defiant. In a statement, he said he felt Scotto had been disrespectful and unprofessional.
But after a morning of heavy public criticism, he phoned Scotto to apologize.
"He said he overreacted," Scotto told The Associated Press. "He said that the behavior that he showed wasn't him. So I accepted the apology."
Later Wednesday, Grimm told a group of reporters that he would probably be getting an earful from his mother.
"The bottom line is, sometimes I wear my emotions on my sleeve," he said. "I was wrong. It shouldn't have happened."
Allegations of a hot-temper have dogged Grimm.
In 2000, a New York City police officer filed a lawsuit against Grimm over an incident a year earlier at a nightclub in Queens. Gordon Williams, who was moonlighting as a club bouncer, said Grimm had gotten into a fight, then returned at 2:30 a.m. carrying a gun and "carrying on like a madman."
"He's screaming, 'I'm gonna ... kill him,'" Williams told writer Evan Ratliff for a 2011 New Yorker article. "So I said to him, 'Who are you?' He put the gun back in his waist and said, 'I'm a ... F.B.I. agent, ain't nobody gonna threaten me.'"
Williams claimed that Grimm left, then returned again at 4 a.m. with another FBI agent and a group of police officers and harassed patrons in a search for the men he'd fought.
Williams' lawsuit was dropped. In a 2011 interview with the Staten Island Advance, Grimm said the Justice Department had investigated and exonerated him.

I have all the files and I have numerous books on publishing webmatrix... need some help
the site name is djfelipekaval.com
where do i put server name , username , password and those sorts of things

Jun 25, 2012 09:18 PM|Mikesdotnetting|LINK
I have a feeling that GoDaddy do not support Web Deploy so you should use FTP. You should check with GoDaddy.
Jun 25, 2012 09:30 PM|pares101|LINK
FTP is fine.... but how do i make my database connect to the database on the server???
How do i upload everything and make everything work from the serverside at godaddy??
djfelipe.db.9512097.hostedresource.com is the server name...
Jun 25, 2012 10:40 PM|pares101|LINK
Godaddy doesnt support web deploy , so how would i add the database information????
Jun 26, 2012 12:39 AM|TOMCIO|LINK
Use FTP , upload your site to server (keep in mind you will have to upload bin folder and all the dlls too), go to Godaddy's control panel make sure you use asp.net 4.0 and set permission to App_Data folder (must be read/write) and it will work
Jun 26, 2012 12:52 AM|Sukola|LINK
I have 4 sites that are running on Go Daddy servers, 2 of which I am developing with WebMatix.
I populate everything from MSSql, it posts to Facebook, and loads everything quite fast.
This one is HTML5, Expression 4, jPlayer with a playlist, and on Go Daddy
I upload my files and folders using WebMatrix and/or Expression 4 to Go Daddy srvers with really no issues. 3rd party ftp clients I've had issues. If it will run on your local iis it will run on Go Daddy.

U need to use FTP and transfer your site files to your GoDaddy server.
In order to create a database for my webmatrix site on hostgator...I had taken a backup of my webmatrix site database and then next i created a database on my hostgator server and restored the database backup file on that database. Similarly you can do on your GoDaddy server.
For connecting the database with your webmatrix site you need to alter your web.config..check that out here
Jun 26, 2012 01:47 AM|Abhishek Luv|LINK
Inorder to take the Backup of your Webmatrix Database and Install it on your GoDaddy Server
1. Migrate your database from SQL Server CE to SQL Server Express, That can done by the Migrate Button in Webmatrix.
2. Login to your SQL Server Express using SSMS and then take a backup of that database.(Remember both the database backup file and the database on your GoDaddy server should be of SQL Server 2008 )
3. Now create a database on your server and then restore that database file on that database.
4. Done
Jun 26, 2012 02:13 AM|TOMCIO|LINK
Abhishek LuvMigrate your database from SQL Server CE to SQL Server Express
WHY ??? He can simply copy entire site with sql ce database to the server - there is no need to migrate it from sql ce to full sql
Jun 26, 2012 02:46 AM|Abhishek Luv|LINK
Yes your absolutely correct.
But what if we wants our site to connect to GoDaddy's SQL Server and not SQL Server CE database file in our App_Data folder.
Jun 26, 2012 03:02 AM|TOMCIO|LINK
Here is tutorial how to publish site using FTP (not Godaddy but rules are the same, you will find all needed info in GoDaddy's control panel):
and hee is one from MS (scroll down for FTP)
@Abhishek Luv - it looks like the user has problem with publishing the site, so don't think it is good idea to make it even harder by adding extra steps (steps that are not needed in order for the site to work)

Day survives the magic of Dubuisson in Match Play
But they were incredible. Even the great Seve Ballesteros would have saluted this performance.
"Those two shots were amazing," Dubuisson said. "I just played it like I had nothing to lose."
He gained plenty in defeat. This tournament will be remembered as much for two improbable shots out of the desert as Day winning a trophy he always believed would belong to him — even in the midst of shots that defied belief.
Day won for the second time on the PGA Tour and rose to a career-best No. 4 in the world.
It was the first time the championship match went overtime since the inaugural year in 1999 at La Costa, when Jeff Maggert chipped on the second extra hole of a 36-hole final. That was like watching paint dry compared with the show Dubuisson put on.
"Vic, man, he has a lot of guts," Day said. "He has a great short game — straight out of the cactus twice. For a 23-year-old kid, he's got a lot of game. We're going to see a lot of him for years to come."
Day won $1.53 million. Lost in all the theater was that he never trailed over the final 53 holes of this fickle tournament.
Dubuisson earned $906,000, all but assuring a PGA Tour card for next year. And he all but clinched a spot on the Ryder Cup team in September, moving to the top of the points table by the equivalent of about $1.5 million.
Dubuisson only reached the championship match by rallying from 3-down after six holes against Ernie Els in the morning semifinals. The Frenchman said he couldn't sleep Saturday night, perhaps because he realized he was playing a four-time major champion.
He wound up beating Els with a par on the 18th hole to meet Day, who beat Rickie Fowler 3 and 2.
Fowler beat Els in 19 holes in the third-place match.
For all the heroics by Dubuisson over the final hour of this amazing show, Day certainly had his moments. Perhaps his greatest feat was never losing faith he would win, even as it appeared the golfing gods were in Dubuisson's corner.
"The biggest thing was, 'How much do I want to win?" I kept saying that to myself. Last night, I kept visualizing myself with the trophy," Day said. "I'm glad I could finish it off. But it was a close one."

"McIntosh discusses food in North America from prehistory through the present in this well-organized book. Although clearly geared to undergraduate students, it will be useful to many; the chapters on understanding food habits and foods and religion are good overviews. Using food as a unifying theme might increase interest in history for those who find it to be only dates. A clearly written overview."

Unlike Spotify, the new incarnation of the streaming music service under Apple won't have a way to listen to anything on demand for free, according to a report.
When you're talking with friends, family, or coworkers, the last thing you want to be annoyed by is an advertisement.
These ads had almost as much style as the vacuum cleaners they sold.
Did you notice more commercials while you toyed with your phone or watched an online video? Sales of both jumped last year, lifting total Internet ad spending to a record $49.5 billion in the US.
Technically Incorrect: In an ad that might make a few audiophiles (and Golden State Warriors fans) become a touch annoyed, the NBA star prepares for the NBA Finals by wearing nice clothes. And headphones.
Want to know what your next phone's operating system will look like, how Google wants to manage all your photos or how you'll pay with your Android phone? Look here.
Technically Incorrect: Can school ever be entertaining? In a new ad for its Surface 3 tablet, Microsoft wants you to believe the company has the power to make it so.
The not-safe-for-work Apple Watch band animations the company does in fact want you to see.
Technically Incorrect: To hype a new TV show, Britain's Channel 4 releases an ad that purports to offer your own synthetic human being. And it's slightly disturbing.
Technically Incorrect: Apple tries hard to show the multifarious ways to use an iPad. But can this make a difference?
