O Allah, you alone do we worship and pray exclusively to you and bow before you alone and we hasten nagerly towards you and fear your severe punishement and hope for your mercy, for your severe punishement is surely to be meted out to the disbelievers.--------------------------------ALLAHHUMMA INNA NASTAINOKA WANASTAGHFIRUKA WA NO MINO BIKA WA NATAWAKKALO ALAIKA WA NUSNEE ALAIKAL KHAIR WA NASHKOROKA WALA NAKFOROKA WA NAKHLAO WA NATROKO MAIYN YAF JOROK. ALLAHHUMMA IYYA KANA BUDO WALAKA NUSALLEE WA NASJUDO, WA ILAIKA NAS AA WA NAHFIDO WA NARJOO RAHMATAKA WA NAKHSHA AZABAKA, INNA AZABAKA BIL KUFFARE MULHIQ -------------------------------------Q 1: Is "Witr" prayer "Waajib" or Sunnat?A. "Witr" is "Waajib". The Prophetic sayings lay great stress on offering "Witr" prayer. Once the Holy Prophet reiterated thrice: "Witr is the truth. He is not from us who does not offer Witr prayer." It is very sinful not to offer Witr prayer deliberately and without any valid reason and it has to be essentially offered if missed intentionally or unintentionally. No matter how long time has elapsed.Q 2: How many Rak'ahs are there in Witr prayer and how to be offered?A. Witr prayer consists of three Rak'ahs and "Qa'ada Ulaa" is Waajib in it. Likewise, Surah Faatehah has to be followed by any other Surah in every Rak'ah. The method of offering Witr prayer is that one should stand up from "Qa'adah Ulaa" after having recited "Tashah-hud" (neither recite Durood Shareef nor Salaam) for the third Rak'ah in which he should, after having done "Qiraa-at" lift his hands upto the ears saying Allah-o-Akbar (as is done in Takbir-e- Tahreemah) and then fold them below the navel and recite Du'aa-e-Qunoot in soft voice. This rule is equally applicable to all i.e. Imaam, Muqtadi and individual. Recitation of Du'aa-e-Qunoot in Witr prayer is Waajib.Q 3: What should one do who has not committed Du'aa-e-Qunoot to memory?A. The one who has not committed Du'aa-e-Qunoot to his memory or he can not recite it, should recite: "Allahumma Rabbanaa Aatenaa Fidduniyaa Hasanata-oon wa Fil Aakherati Hasanata-oon wa Qinaa 'Azaaban Naar" or recite: "Allaa-hummagh Firlee" three times. If one can not recite even this then he should recite at least "Yaa Rabbu" thrice.Q 4: Should "Masbooq" recite Du'aa-e-Qunoot with the Imaam or later?A. "Masbooq: (the one who joins Jama'at after some Rak'ahs) should recite Du'aa-e-Qunoot with the Imaam (not later) and if he joined Jama'at (Imaam) in Rukoo of third Rak'ah then he is not required to recite Du'aa-e-Qunoot in the remaining prayer which he has to complete because having found Rukoo of third Rak'ah he has actually found third Rak'ah and thus Du'aa-e-Qunoot too. So no need to recite Du'aa-e-Qunoot again.Q 5: What should a Muqtadi do if he has not yet completed Du'aa-e-Qunoot and Imaam has gone into Rukoo?A. If Muqtadi has not yet completed Du'aa-e-Qunoot and Imaam has gone into Rukoo then he should follow the Imaam (i.e. observe Rukoo) giving up Du'aa-e-Qunoot. Category: Education

WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Millennium Research Group (MRG), the global authority on medical technology market intelligence, health care reforms in China supported rapid expansion of the Chinese drug-eluting stent market in 2009, and will continue to fuel growth in the coming years. MRG's new Asia Pacific Markets for Interventional Cardiology Devices 2010 report finds that initiatives undertaken by the Chinese government will allow the Chinese drug-eluting stent market to reach a value of more than $900 million by 2014.
The potential Chinese patient population for coronary stenting has historically been underpenetrated due to the high cost of the devices. Despite a rising incidence of coronary artery disease in the country, many patients choose to forego a coronary intervention due to a lack of insurance coverage and an inability to privately finance these procedures. In April 2009, the Chinese government unveiled its plans for a universal health care plan, a component of part of its Healthy China 2020 plan, which was first announced in January 2008. The healthcare reforms will increase access to premium-priced procedures and have huge implications for the drug-eluting stent market.
"This amount of funding earmarked for a public health care system will vastly expand the volume of drug-eluting stent procedures performed in China," says Dan Whalen, Analyst at MRG. "With more people able to afford the procedure, this market is expected to grow an average of nearly 20% per year over the next five years, which presents a huge opportunity for new and emerging drug-eluting stent manufacturers in the region."
MRG's new report, Asia Pacific Markets for Interventional Cardiology Devices 2010, provides critical insight into trends that will fuel market growth for coronary stents, PTCA balloon catheters, and accessory devices through 2014. In addition to China, the report als

A new Bihar government headed by Jitan Ram Manjhi as the 32nd Chief Minister was sworn in here today.
Governor D Y Patil who administered the oath to Manjhi and 17 ministers at a function at Raj Bhawan directed the new government to seek a trust vote on the floor of the House on May 23.
The new Cabinet comprised all ministers of the Nitish Kumar government.
Vijay Chaudhary was the first to take oath after the Manjhi. Vijendra Prasad Yadav, Narendra Singh, Brishen Patel, Ramai Ram and Bhim Singh followed.
The Cabinet has one woman member, Lessi Singh and a Muslim, Shahid Ali Khan.
Two Independents Dulal Chand Goswami and Binay Bihari were rewarded for supporting the government after it became a minority after parting of ways with the BJP.
Four Independents had voted for Nitish Kumar on a confidence motion he had sought on June 19 last year.
They were Dulal Chand Goswami, Binay Bihari, Pawan Jaiswal and Som Prakash Singh.
Minutes after Jitan Ram Manjhi was sworn in as Chief Minister of Bihar today, Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi greeted the JD(U) leader and assured support in development of the state.
"Congratulations to Shri Jitan Ram Manjhi on taking over as Bihar Chief Minister....I wish him the very best and assure support in development of Bihar," Modi tweeted minutes after Manjhi took over as Chief Minister.
BJP president Rajnath Singh and the senior party leader Sushil Kumar Modi also congratulated Manjhi.
Nitish Kumar had resigned from the chief ministership two days ago taking moral responsibility for the JD(U)'s poor performance in the Lok Sabha elections winning a meagre two seats as against 20 it had won five years ago.
Emerging from nearly 45-minute swearing in ceremony, Manjhi told reporters that he would seek a trust vote of his government on May 23.
He would expand his cabinet after the trust vote on May 23, he said.
Manjhi said that his priority would be to complete the development work started by the party government under Kumar.
All the ministers after taking oath shook hands with Kumar first.
Kumar seated in between Manjhi and state JD(U) President Basistha Narayan Singh congratulated the ministers.
Legislators from BJP, RJD and Congress attended the ceremony.
Congress which was 4 members in Assembly and 3 in Legislative Council earlier in the day gave a letter of support to the Governor pledging "unconditional" support to the new JD(U) ministry.
BJP MLA and its Chief Whip Arun Sinha said, "It was a state function and not an event of a political party. So to maintain parliamentary tradition many BJP MLAs attended the function."

Flat-shooting trail gun: Casull 3800.
In one of the earliest issues of GUNS Magazine, there was an article about a Canadian, one Francis Wharton, who was called the "Backwoods Wizard." Wharton lived Out in the middle of the Canadian wilds and did a lot of what most of us would consider kitchen-table gunsmithing to satisfy his needs.
He had some really weird looking firearm modifications, but the one that stands out in my mind was a Colt .38 Super on which he had welded two flat pieces of steel -- one on each side of the slide -- supposedly to provide more strength to handle his high power reloads.
I don't know that this accomplished its intended goal, but it did do two things: it added extra weight to reduce recoil, and more importantly, for me at least, it planted ".38 Super seeds" in my mind.
Someday I would have to have a flat-shooting, high-power, .38 Super. At that time of my life what little money I had was used for single-action sixguns, so the semi-automatic .38 was automatically filed in the folder in the back of my mind.
Another Seed Is Planted
About five years later, I picked up several books by Jeff Cooper. Cooper, who was not yet the reigning 1911 guru, spoke in loving terms of the 1911 in .45 ACP. He also put forth the notion that the 1911 in .38 Super was just about perfection for what he called a Trail Gun.
This was a pistol not strictly for hunting, but to be carried for self-defense in the wilds against two- and four-legged creatures. A second image was placed in my mind's .38 Super file.
Then came the infamous GCA '68 (Gun Control Act of 1968), which required the filling out of special federal BATF forms before a firearm could be purchased. I decided to buy one more handgun "without paper", and as luck, or fate would have it, the first handgun I spotted was a Colt Commander in .38 Super. My quest was over, or so I thought.
A Dream Not Realized
That .38 was literally the handgun with which one could not hit the broadside of a barn when shooting from the inside. Okay, it wasn't quite that bad; however, 12-inch groups with my handloads were the norm. I couldn't live with that, so it was either peddle it or fix it.
The former would require passing on a poor-shooting firearm to someone else -- which to me is both dishonest and unethical. The only choice left was to fix it, but how? The obvious answer was to turn it over to an expert, and I called upon Bill Wilson. Wilson fitted one of his barrels, and groups with the same handloads shrank from 12 inches down to 2 inches.
The problem with those Colt barrels was that of head spacing. Unlike most semi-automatic cartridges, the .38 Super is not rimless but in fact has a very small rim. It is large enough that .38 Super cartridges can be shot in some .357 Magnum revolvers, however, it's not large enough to provide reliable, accurate head spacing in a semi-automatic chamber.
Wilson's barrel headspaced on the case mouth and the problem was solved. I might add that Colt finally addressed this problem, and later .38 Supers from Colt should be fine.
The Colt Commander was fitted with an adjustable rear sight from MMC, and I now had a good shooting .38 Super. It was not quite a full-sized 1911, and that image still remained in the back of my mind and would someday be brought to reality.
Another Super .38
Someday came two years ago. After attending a Springfield Armory seminar, I ordered the Mil-Spec in .38 Super. I would finally have a full-sized 1911 .38, and if it showed promise, I would have it tuned and fitted with new sights. The Mil-Spec turned Out to be such a good shooter as it came from the factory, there was nothing to "tune."
Not only does it shoot well, it also shoots to point of aim with factory or standard .38 Super handloads. The sights are easy to see, or at least are as easy to see as any iron sights will be with my long experienced eyes. I have done nothing to this second .38 Super except shoot it and enjoy it.
I now owned two fine-shooting Super .38s, but somehow, my itch for a high-power .38 Super remained. Would it ever come to life? We all experience strange twists and turns in life and one was about to happen to me that would bring a truly high-power .38 to my hands.
Meat For The Masses
Every year I participate in the Handgun Hunters Chapter (of SCI) annual Handgun Hunters Against Hunger Hunt on the YO Ranch in Texas. Each year, 50 handgunners harvest their choice of numerous animals with all meat going to benefit the less fortunate through the Salvation Army. Each hunter pays his/her own expenses, and also the trophy fees to be able to give away the meat. The total donation is usually somewhere over 100,000 pounds. That is a great deal of high-quality, well-cared-for meat.
This year my contribution was a buffalo, an American bison. I took him with Buffalo Bore's hard cast 410-grain .480 Ruger cartridge that clocked 1,100 fps from a 4 3/4 inch Freedom Arms Model 83 .475 Linebaugh with the .480 cylinder in place. At 35 yards, the bullet penetrated completely. I had a beautiful head to be mounted, and the Salvation Army would receive the meat from the 1,200pound bull. However, this was the beginning -- not the end--of the story.
Enter The CA-3800
During one of our lunch breaks, a representative from Casull Arms was there with samples of the Model CA-3800 for us to shoot. I fired both a standard, long-slide CA-3 800 as well as a compensated model. Metal targets were set up at 25, 50 and 100 yards for testing. I found it easy to hit all three targets with the same sight setting. This CA-3800 was a great shooting pistol and I wanted one.
At our Saturday-night banquet, donated prizes from the industry are always handed out for those who provide the largest portion of meat. My 1,200 pounds was a lot of meat, but I had no illusions of winning one of the three firearms that were donated as I had taken only one animal. I knew others had taken several large animals. One of the three firearms happened to be a Model CA-3800.
The first place winner had his choice of any of the three firearms. He did not pick the CA-3800. The second-place name was called, and although apparently tempted, he also did not take the Casull.
Now I was ready to kick myself for not shooting another animal, since I knew someone else had taken both a buffalo and a red stag doe. I was stunned when my name was called as the third place winner. I even asked them to recheck the figures, as it seemed unlikely I could have won.
Happy Outcome
As it turned out, my bull was large enough to outweigh both the other buffalo and the doe, and I now had my "choice" of firearms. The Casull CA-3800 was the only gun left, which made absolutely no difference to me, as it would have been my first choice. At last, it seemed I was destined to have a high-powered .38 autoloader.
The Model CA-3800 is from Casull Arms, and as the name suggests was designed by Dick Casull. A little background material is apropos here. When Utah gunsmith Dick Casull was in his early twenties, he became interested in heat-treating and metallurgy. He eventually developed a method to heat treat single-action frames to 40 Rockwell without warping them in the process.
That was 1954, and using a Colt Single Action .45 with a special five-shot cylinder, he was able to achieve velocities of 1,550 fps with 250-graln bullets. This was two years before the arrival of the .44 Magnum, which despite the accolades, fired slightly lighter bullets at lower velocities than Casull's experimental Colt.
Obsessed With Power
Casull had harnessed the power, but with little margin of safety. Casull insisted upon ultimate power in a portable package, and along with this power the technology to make the guns completely safe. By 1957, in pursuit of his goal of power plus safety, Casull decided to build his own single action frame. He was also now at the point that he could engineer parts as needed. Using 4140 steel for the frame, and 4150 steel for the cylinder, the first ".45 Magnum" was created. The .45 Casull had progressed from modified Colt SAAs to a custom built, five-shot single action.
Fertile Mind
Dick Casull did not start designing and building guns with what would ultimately develop into the .454 Casull. In fact his first gun, made from a car axle, was turned out at the age of 11 -- it's still in his possession and still shoots. While in high school, Casull designed and built a sleek .22 Single Action he hopes to offer someday through Casull Arms.
Casull holds a couple-dozen major patents, and is, in fact, a complete gun designer covering everything from mini-revolvers to machine guns to magnum handguns.
In 1979, after a number of false starts, Casull and Wayne Baker came together and the result was Freedom Arms. It had been a long hard process over the span of 30 years, but finally in 1983, the first factory-built .454 Casull was delivered. Casull is no longer connected with Freedom Arms, except for the fact his house and horse corral overlook the factory.
A Time For New Beginnings
For several years now, Dick has been out on his own, forming Casull Arms. His first product was a mini-gun, a small five-shot, double action only, pocket .22 with a folding trigger. Known as the CA-2000, this little palm-sized revolver is machined from 17-4 stainless steel and features an external safety and ivory micarta grips.
Now, Dick Casull has turned his many talents in a radically different direction. Instead of a revolver, Casull Arms is producing the Dick Casull Signature Model -- a 6-inch, 1911-style semiautomatic chambered in .38 Casull.
The Model CA-3800 incorporates a number of tempting features. The barrel and bushing are of match grade, carefully fitted. The frame incorporates a beveled magazine well, and 20 lpi checkering on the front strap and mainspring housing. Also included are a full length, two-piece guide rod, an aluminum match trigger, and a high ride beavertail grip safety. Sights consist of a fully adjustable rear sight, matched up with a dovetailed post front sight.
As one would expect with any firearm from Dick Casull, the CA-3800 shows close-tolerances and careful hand fitting. No corners are cut here when it comes to quality, and this is also evident in the checkered stock panels made from beautiful exotic woods. Weight is 40 ounces empty and a full 3 pounds loaded.
The capacity of the .38 Casull is rated at 8 plus one, however I prefer to use 8 rounds, 7 in the magazine and one in the chamber. Most autopistol magazines seem to work better if they are not pushed to their capacity. The Model CA-3800 comes with two Wilson magazines, and wrenches for bushing and guide rod-all packaged into a quality locking aluminum case.
A Real Hot-Rod .38
Currently, Casull Arms also offers two factory .38 Casull loads, a 124 grain ZTP-JHP rated at 1,800 fps, and a147 grain XTP-JHP at 1,650 fps. From my gunm these clocked out at 1,722 fps and 1,547 fps respecitively. For testing purposes I acquired five, 20-round boxes of both type of factory ammunition as well as 200 rounds of brass Arms also offers a fitted slide and barrel in .45 ACP for those dsiring a liggle versatility.
At the present time, Casull Arms recommends one powder, Winchester 296, and all of my handloads were assembled with this propellant. In the future I will be experimenting with other powders, but I felt it appropriate to start with 296. For testing I used 9mm bullets from Hornady, Sierra, and Speer. All loads were primed with Federal's No. 155 Magnum Pistol primer.
Overall length is important and loaded rounds must fit in, and feed from a standard sized 1911 magazine. Casull Arms recommends an overall length of 1.26 inches, however this may be too long with some bullet profiles. I have ordered some copper Keith-style bullets for future reloads, and it will be interesting to see what OAL will be required using these different style bullets.
The Answer Is No
To arrive at the .38 Casull, Dick started with the standard .45 ACP case, trimmed it back slightly, and then necked it down to .38. The natural question that will arise is, can I make .38 Casull brass from standard .45 ACP brass? The answer is no. This would be unsafe as .38 Casull brass is heavier than standard .45 ACP cases. The right brass is easily obtainable from Casull Arms at reasonable prices and I recommend it be used exclusively.
Shooting the CA-3800 was a most pleasant experience as expected, since I had fired two test guns six months earlier on the YO Ranch. Recoil is about the equivalent of +P loads in a standard 1911 .45. All my test shooting was accomplished at 25 yards. Although the sights are big, bold, and black -- just as they should be -- unfortunately my aging eyes do not make the best of them.
With this in mind, I am most gratified with the test results and would guess that someone with younger eyes could do even better. It would be interesting, to me at least, to see what I could accomplish with a red-dot scope in place.
One can really see how strong the recoil spring on the CA-3800 is, not only by pulling the slide rearward to chamber the first round from the magazine, but also by how far the ejected brass travels. With some of my loads, I found the brass 42 inches behind and to my right. When the slide comes back, the fired brass really flies!
Dick Casull is a true firearms genius and one does not need to spend much time with him in order to discover that he is a modest, quiet, humble man who truly loves his country and strongly believes in every American's right to keep and bear arms. I recommend his newest creation highly.
It certainly is portable enough to be a true Trail Gun, so that part of my dream has finally been fulfilled; and it also would make an excellent hunting handgun for turkeys, cougar, small deer, in fact anything weighing 200 pounds or less. Not only is this a keeper, I did not have to wait until I received a test firearm bill to make that decision. This one is already mine, free and clear.

Hello! You can find me around the internet or in real life, but this is my story so far.
I just made it through my first semester at Harvard Business School! It was a difficult decision, and it's been up and down. I've been sharing some of what I've learned along the way here. I went to Indonesia to work with a Cereal company during January, which was awesome. My other big project right now is teaching Product Management at Olin College. I've made my syllabus available, and I'm updating as we go through each lesson.
I'm anxious to start my own company again. I have a few projects brewing, and right now I'm interested in: cheese, people moving, and why people don't hang up their art. For HBS I'm working on an idea to connect amateur photographers and casual events.
I love reading. I spend a lot of time reading cases for HBS, but I still try to get a bunch of books in. Right now I'm reading Skippy Dies by Paul Murray. Some other things I enjoy are writing, SCUBA Diving, and the Twilight Zone pinball machine.
My last job before this was as a Product Manager at Kickstarter. I worked on a new set of Discovery tools amongst other things. A big part of working at Kickstarter is getting to see (and support!) creative projects. Here are a few projects I recently backed:
I was a Dean and Trustee of the Awesome Foundation for three years. If you're interested in learning more about the it, you should check out this talk that I gave with Nikki Lee at Creative Mornings. The talk itself is 17 minutes, and the rest is Q&A.
I used to live in Seattle, where I was a Program Manager at Microsoft. I worked on Office for Windows Phone 8. I also worked on something that I still affectionately refer to as "The Oompa Loompas" and on PowerPoint Broadcast for Symbian. I wrote a longer essay on my time at Microsoft.
Before that, I graduated from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering with a B.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering. My senior capstone project at Olin was studying "transitioners" - people who were graduating from college and going to work for the first time. My team designed an application called Sundrop: Saving for a Sunny Day, meant to encourage impulse saving. One of my favorite parts of the application was the "Not Starbucks" feature.
At one point, I took a Leave of Absence from Olin. While on leave I co-founded Alight Learning with five of my friends. We attempted to design learning management software from pedagogical principles, rather than automating the existing student-teacher workflow.
I grew up in Michigan. I attended the International Academy for High School, which at the time was the only all-public all-International Baccalaurate school in North America. I'm still a huge fan of the IB curriculum. I was also a member of FIRST Robotics Team 469.
Since this is the internet, here is a video of my cat:
Still reading? I enjoy meeting new people! If you're in Boston, we could grab coffee (be forewarned, I'll ask you to meet me at 7am). You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Great value - quality shade
By SimO
from Worcesetershire
I was looking for five, affordable shades to go with a restored, distressed wooden chandelier. The colour of these is slightly deeper than it appears in the picture and is perfect for the chandelier in my conservatory. The heavy linen texture gives a quality feel to these excellent value shades.
Service and delivery comments:
Excellent service from Rugby store staff. Called me back unprompted to arrange early collection.

Want more to use public transport? Make driving less of a joy
THE suggestions regarding the certificate of entitlement (COE) system ("Car buyers want COE system reviewed"; Tuesday, and "Cooling measures needed for cars" by Mr Chew Eng Soo; Thursday) do not get to the crux of the problem.
The strength of the COE system is also its greatest weakness.
Singapore stands out among cities throughout the world as being one where driving is a joy.
The success of the COE system means that there are few traffic jams.
Our roads are well maintained and new roads are constantly being built to ease traffic congestion.
Parking is relatively plentiful and cheap compared to other city centres.
Consequently, private cars have become a highly desirable good.
This has profound implications - regardless of how one tweaks the system, its desirability will always mean that the majority of people who cannot own a car will be disgruntled.
This is regardless of whether one rations out cars purely on willingness to pay (like the current system), or partly on subjective needs (as suggested by some).
Driving, as a result of the system's success, will always be a better option than taking public transport.
There is absolutely no incentive for people to switch to public transport, no matter how great it is, when driving is such a desirable option.
In many other cities, even the rich would leave their cars at home and take the subway to work because that is preferable to sitting for hours in a traffic jam, or circling the blocks looking for a parking space.
The solution, then, is obvious, if counter-intuitive.
There needs to be more traffic congestion, not less. Only then would it be preferable to take a train.
The COE system thus has not failed; rather, it has worked too well.

PORTLAND -- Portland students spoke out Thursday about a man whose invitation to speak at two Portland Public Schools events was rescinded after his views on homosexuality came to light.
Dr. Umar Johnson was asked to speak at Jefferson High School and SEI Academy on educational issues in the African American community.
The appearances were canceled after district officials were made aware of YouTube videos in which Johnson describes homosexuality as a mental illness and says it is crippling the fight against white supremacy.
The district reportedly didn't know about the videos until The Oregonian asked about them.
Background: PPS cancels speaker who calls homosexuality a 'mental illness'
Jefferson students who spoke with KGW agreed that the district made the right decision.
There are some gay people at our school and people have the right to do whatever they want, said Latrell Summerfield. They are kids, so they are still discovering who they are. And saying gay people are wrong, that can push them back into the closet.
When it comes to homophobia I dont consider it to be acceptable, said Clayborn Collins. We don t need his homophobic or derogatory statements to be made in our school.
At least one parent also stood behind the district.
That can really throw a kid if they are gay coming up, I think it s a bad thing, said Don Andrews. It s a really bad thing.
Johnson told KGW Wednesday the decision was unfortunate, and that he wanted to provide critical information to the students.
When asked if he still believes gay people have a mental illness, Johnson told KGW he could not provide a yes or no answer.
KGWreporter Ashley Korslien contributed to this report.

The Jewish holidays are early this year. Really early. (You know what they say – they're either early or late, but never on time!)
For Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, which began last night, everything on the holiday table reflects our hope for a sweet new year. Dishes are sweet, fruit-laden and circular, signifying the circle of life.
Challah, the rich egg bread traditionally braided for the Sabbath, is baked in a glorious spiral, and some add raisins for extra sweetness. When I use my grandmother's recipe, I feel her presence guiding me. But obtaining that recipe was no piece of cake.
I was in California. Mama Hinda, age 91, lay in intensive care in New York. Just weeks before she died I begged my mother to get her challah recipe.
"Add a little sugar. Mix with warm water," she had written. Measurements, where given at all, were in glasses, not cups. But which glass? Perhaps asking someone for a recipe when she is on her deathbed may not be the most opportune moment to do so, I realized.
My first few attempts were disasters. I consulted Fred Hyde, owner of Poul's in Orange, who used to supply Friday challahs to the synagogues in the area. (Regrettably they have since closed.)
"My challah is too crusty," I whined. He looked at my recipe: "Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in slow oven. Then raise heat," instructed Mama Hinda. Hyde disagreed. "If the temperature is too cold, it takes longer to bake the inside, so it's drying on the outside. And it's really hard to make bread at home kneading by hand. Use your mixer, with the paddle or hook."
Miraculously, after a few more adjustments, there it was. Not Mama Hinda's recipe exactly, but it was Mama Hinda's challah, just as I remembered it.
Thomas Wolfe was wrong. You can go home again. You just may have to take a different path to get there.
3 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 cup warm water (100-110 degrees)
2 3/4 teaspoons (1 package plus 2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup sugar

Cinda and Jerry purchased this apartment in 2011
A wedding proposal by Jerry to Cinda instantly made Paris our home away from home. Our Paris Flat is a life long dream fulfilled in 2011. Access to the beautiful attractions in Paris and around France continues to provide pleasure and entertainment for us and our family. Each time we visit, we explore museums, cafes, parks and attractions off the beaten path. We continue to make local friends along the way as we learn about local customs and traditions. We also enjoy traveling to nearby towns and villages and learning about the history and culture of each area. Opportunities for new experiences abound!
Our flat which is very close to the metro is in a quiet yet, friendly neighborhood rich in cafes, shops, restaurants, and character. The outdoor market is famous for fresh fruits, vegetables, wide variety of cheese, fish, meats and wine. A sweet pastry shop is just around the corner and 3 blocks from our flat is a large park full of flowers, vineyards, bubbling fountains, jogging paths, pony rides & summer outdoor concerts.
Hi Cinda
I miss Paris already! Your apartment was perfect for my stay. It had all the charm I was hoping for in a Parisian apartment. Location was perfect. Neighborhood was nice.
I will definitely return to spend some time in Paris again and I will stay there again and I've recommended your apartment to many people who are talking about going.
Thanks for everything.
Lovely and Charming home! Very clean and lots of amenities to enjoy and excellent use of space and beds in the home. Comfortably sleeps 2 but can accommodate 4. Would rent again, a little far from city center but nice neighborhood and not to far from Metro and easy to get around Paris. Would come back. The manager of the apartment was very helpful!
This is our second stay at Chez Jean Pierre, and it was just right for our family of 4. We love that it is in "real" Paris, but "tourist" Paris is minutes away. The bed is comfy, the water pressure (and heat) is best in Europe, and the owners have made all the right touches. The property manager, Maite, is fantastic, and made our stay just SO easy! Every conceivable convenience is between you and the Metro, and the Metro is the gateway to this amazing city. Families of 4 or less, especially with kids 4-13 (large fold-out couch must be shared by the kids), will be just fine at Chez Jean Pierre!
Although the apartment was a bit small for a family of four, it only felt so because we are used to bigger spaces. The apartment was well equipped with all we needed. The bed in the bedroom area was very comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom were nicely updated. The whole apartment was clean. The owners were a pleasure to deal with and the woman (Maite) who checked us in and out was friendly and knowledgable. The location was excellent - made us feel like we were true Parisiennes instead of tourists. Short 5 min walk to metro station and to a nice, big grocery store (Monoprix). Our only slightly negative comment is that there was some street and traffic noises at night that kept us awake for the first couple of nights. We had to have the windows open because the weather was very hot so keeping them closed at night was not an option. We are used to a very quiet neighbourhood at home so it just took some getting used to. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives. Thanks again to Cinda, Jerry and Maita!
The apartment is clean and welcoming. A modern kitchen and bath await you. Room to spread out and relax with your family. Bakery around the corner for fresh croissants and more each day. Quick walk to metro, neighborhood and park. Would recommend to friends and family who want to experience Paris as the locals live, and have more room for their money! Eat outside as much as you can, ride the metro and walk the neighborhoods. Visit Versailles and ride the bikes! Property manager, Maite, is lovely - binder in apartment has useful information on many sights and the apartment details.
Chez Jean Pierre
I was looking for a place to stay during my cooking classes at Le Cordon Bleu.
Chez Jean Pierre proved to be the perfect location ( 10 minute walk ). The apartment was clean and nicely appointed. Amenities included everything needed including Wi-Fi and phone calls to the USA and the property manager, Maïté, could not have been more helpful.
I would definitely recommend this apartment and will definitely use it again on my next visit to Le Cordon Bleu.

This small but very organized apartment is the perfect choice for enjoying Paris. It is beautiful and cozy, and it has everything you need to stay comfortable. It makes you feel at home.
The flat is extremely clean and it has lots of ammenities, like a large flat TV, wifi, telephone, dishwasher and washer / dryer. The metro station is near and there are also supermarkets, restaurants, boulangeries and pâtissieries.
The owners are diligent and always available for any questions you may have (and I live at several time zones away). The property manager is friendly and charming. She is a great help.
Undoubtedly, the next time we travel to Paris, we will stay at Chez Jean Pierre.
On a quiet residential street, 'Chez Jean Pierre' is 3 short blocks from metro stop, 'Convention', while restaurants, boutiques, cinemas, cafes, live entertainment and Georges Brassens Park are steps away. Shopping at Monparnasse is nearby. The flat is 10 minutes by metro to the heart of Paris. Porte de Versailles Exposition Center is within easy walking distance. The Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Champs Elysees, Nortre Dame, Musee d'Orsay, as well as luxurious department stores such as Galleries Lafayette are virtually minutes away along with live theatre, Paris Ballet, and antique shops. An easy and convenient ride east of Paris will take you to Euro Disney or the shopping outlets near by. Be it a business or holiday trip, Salon du Chocolate, Fashion Week, French Tennis Open or the Tour de France, 'Chez Jean Pierre' invites you to experience Paris at it's best!

Tuition for 200? No Problem!
Wednesday - 8/18/2010, 4:00am EDT
Problem: You are a retired civil servant, and you currently have more than 20 children in college, from Austin, Tex., to Quito, Ecuador. Last year you had 26 in school. Some community colleges, some Ivy League.
Additional Problem: You are paying full tuition, etc. And you have more children who are about to hit college age. The last, if you are lucky, will graduate sometime around 2018. To date you have spent more than $6 million in tuition, room and board.
Options: (A) Change name and run away from home, or, (B) get a second job.
Solution: You chose B. You get a job as executive director of the Federal Employees Education and Assistance Fund. FEEA (with a lot of generous help from private corporate friends like Blue Cross-Blue Shield and GEICO) is the feds-helping-feds charity that takes care of government workers and their families after hurricanes, floods and natural disasters. And after things like the Oklahoma City bombings ( April 19, 1995), Hurricane Katrina and the September 11, 2001 suicide attacks on the World Trade Centers in New York City, and the Pentagon.
After retiring from the Social Security Administration, Steve Bauer was picked to run the newly-created FEEA. Despite the lofty title he travels the country selling raffle tickets, speaking and fund raising for FEEA. He has more hours in the air than some astronauts.
After a hurricane in Florida near Homestead AFB, Bauer jumped on an airplane with a suitcase full of money and headed out to help distraught feds. He said postal workers took Social Security employees out in 4-wheel vehicles in the midst of the wreckage to help find people, and get them their checks. Not your typical 9-to-5 job.
We crossed paths a couple of weeks back at the FDR ( Federal Dispute Resolution) conference in Atlanta. He had a booth and feds attending the conference were generous as they always are with FEEA.
The bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City ( April 19, 1995) killed 168 government workers. They left 200 children as partial, or total, orphans. One was born three months after his parent was killed.
FEEA contacted all of the families and promised the kids a full-ride to any college they could get into. Most stayed in the Oklahoma area and many choose careers---education, medicine, counseling---helping people.
The same process was repeated for children who's parent or parents were killed in the attack on the Pentagon. (From the 4th floor of our office building I could see it burn. A lot of people , through FEEA, did a lot more than just watch).
Over the years Bauer says his "kids" have had all the usual problems associated with getting into and going to college. All this on top of the loss of a parent at a very young age. He's had to play good-cop-bad-cop, but mostly it has been an incredibly satisfying experience.
So what's it like being the Godfather for that many kids for this long? How did they turn out? What's next?
We'll find out today at 10 a.m. (EDT) on our Your Turn radio show when we talk with Bauer about the full-ride college program for kids who really need it (and whose parents really deserve it). Listen if you can, and tell a friend what's its all about. That's 10 a.m. on your computer at www.federalnewsradio.com or, in the Washington area by real, old-fashioned radio at 1500 AM.
Nearly Useless Factoid

Per population estimates from the last 10 years from the Census Bureau Rhode Island has had the least percent of population increase. 0.5 percent, or about 5,000 people.
Why TSP calculators don't always work
Have you ever tried to figure out how much money you're going to need when you retire? Turns out, that's not as easy as it sounds. A recent article from the Federal Times points out some of the pitfalls, and Tom Trabucco, director of external affairs for the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, says no calculator can be completely accurate.

By my count, we have ten pages for various studios that used to be part of The Climax Group and has been slowly whittled down to just Climax Studios. This is absolutely insane considering a number of these studios have no information on their pages and almost no games credited to them, and a number of the pages are simply different names for the same studio. Based on the research I've done, we can:
DELETE:Climax Solent, because it's another name for the main studio, Climax Studios, which is based in the Solent. (Keep Climax Solent as an alias, of course.)
DELETE:Climax Brighton and Climax Racing, because they should be made aliases for Black Rock Studio.
DELETE:Climax Handheld Games, because it was a division of Climax London and should be an alias for it.
DELETE:Climax Action, because it was a name used to refer to the combined forces of Climax Studios and Climax London (which was slowly merged into the main studio) according to this Gamasutra story. (So I guess make it an alias for both Climax Studios and Climax London?)
Oh, and while we're at it, here's a three-pack of PC games that Climax was attached to and should be deleted for being a three-pack of racing games: 3in1 Adrenalin Pack.

by Doug Wilson from his blog originally. Since Doug Wilson removed the original blog posting because of blow back by others this is from Sierra's blog - The Phoenix and the Olive Branch It is important to revisit what it is conservative evangelicals actually believe, even if they've publicly backpedaled from it.

If they were not unwelcome, then the affair appears to have been one of complicated and unconsummated adultery, with two participants.

Planned Parenthood again shows its true colors
March 21, 2015
Although Planned Parenthood says they oppose human trafficking, the fact is that they love their abortion services revenue more. That's why lobbyists from the nation's largest abortion provider (more than 327,000 abortions performed in FY2013), refuse to release their stranglehold on Senate Democrats and allow them to end their filibuster and vote in favor of the "Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act." This is a vital piece of legislation that would bring a measure of hope and healing to the victims of modern day slavery!
The issue is revolving around a nearly 40 year-old rider called the Hyde Amendment that safeguards the rights of conscience for Americans who morally oppose seeing our tax dollars being used to murder unborn children. However, as we pointed out in an earlier alert, this amendment would have very little impact on the government assistance for the human trafficking victims, since most pregnancies among trafficked girls and women result from being raped.
The "Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act," imposes stiffer penalties and sentences for criminals engaged in human trafficking while providing wide-ranging government assistance for the victims. Fines collected from the offenders would be used to help the victims.
None of that makes any difference to Planned Parenthood lobbyists who continue tightening the screws on Senate Democrats — many of whom supported the legislation when it initially came out of the Senate Judiciary committee.
The fact is, in pressuring Senate Democrats, Planned Parenthood is again showing its true colors. Even though they boast about "enhancement of the quality of life and strong family relationships," they coldly turn their backs on tens of thousands of young women and children who are being held against their will and forced to endure unspeakable horrors as sex slaves — all because of a rider that won't have any measurable impact on the assistance provided to these innocent victims. It's appalling.
With your help, Liberty Counsel Action wants to deluge Senate Democrats with a tsunami wave of faxes, urging them to break free from the pro-abortion lobbyists who are preventing care and hope from being delivered to tens of thousands of sex slaves — mostly young women and children.
Without this critical piece of legislation, lives will be lost! That's why we want to move quickly, with great numbers, in the hope that we can motivate a handful of Democrats to do the compassionate thing and stop their filibuster.
Through this Fax Barrage, you are appealing to Senate Democrats who support the "Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act," but are being held back from doing the right thing because of Planned Parenthood's powerful lobbying.
Help break the stone wall that is holding hope and healing back. Be among those who are demanding empathy for the victims of modern day slavery.
Thank you for taking this principled stand!
Mat Staver, Chairman
Liberty Counsel Action
P.S: By our count, just five Democrat Senators need to muster the courage to stand against the pro-abortion lobbyists. This would effectively end the filibuster and clear the way for passage of the "Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act," bringing hope and healing to tens of thousands of women and children victims of the sex slave industry.

Orrick Alert: Second Circuit Decision on Extraterritoriality
On August 30, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit handed down its decision in United States v. Vilar, which unequivocally limits the U.S. government's ability to use Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in criminal prosecutions involving extraterritorial conduct. No. 10-521-CR (2d Cir. Aug. 30, 2013). In so doing, the court made clear that the Supreme Court's territorial limitation on private securities fraud actions, originally set forth in Morrison v. National Australia Bank Ltd., 130 S. Ct. 2869 (2010), also applies to criminal prosecutions. While the Dodd-Frank Act may in the future affect the scope and longevity of the Vilar decision, at least for the time being, Vilar makes it all the more difficult for U.S. prosecutors to pursue securities fraud where the purchase or sale of securities occurred outside the U.S. For the complete Orrick alert, please click here.

Trip Report
The Washington Park's Hoyt Arboretum was founded in 1928 with a mission to conserve endangered species and educate the community. This ridge-top arboretum includes 187 acres and 12 miles of hiking trails. Along the trails (two of which are suitable for wheelchairs) you will find a plant collection containing 10,000 individual trees and shrubs representing approximately 1,000 species from around the world. Although Hoyt Arboretum is relatively young, it possesses the largest group of distinct species of any arboretum in the U.S.
In addition to the expansive hiking trails, the arboretum has a visitor center, an indoor classroom with seating for 40 people, a large picnic shelter, and a meadow. Since the 1970s, volunteers have provided tours that begin at the visitor center. Park hours are 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and the visitor center parking lot and access roads close at 10:00 p.m.

Regarding pay-to-park. Just wanted to share that there are pockets of free parking. The parallel parking right next to the visitor center is one notable example. There is another where the Wildwood meets Kingston Drive between the Sherwood Blvd and Knights Blvd.
That's all.
I wish all trees and shrubs came with signs identifying them like they do here. I love the Hoyt Arboretum because there is such a wide variety of plants to see and learn about on the many different trails.

Like the horse itself, the upcoming Year of the Horse will be hardworking. It'll be a good year, but it won't be easy. In the end, results should be "outstanding," said Roger Young.
"People born during the Year of the Horse are energetic, intelligent and physically strong. Horses are naturally lucky when it comes to money, resources and career; they are financially independent and stable," Young, a member of the Vancouver Chinese Association and a key organizer of this year's local Chinese New Year celebration gala, wrote in an email.
The New Year is just as big a deal in China as it is in the United States, Young said, and local Chinese have been getting together to put on an annual party for the past decade. It grows a big bigger every time, Young said.
"It's all about sharing cultures," he said, both with second-generation Chinese Americans who are losing touch with their heritage -- and with mainstream Americans who ought to learn a little something about Chinese culture too.
Young said the Chinese community in Clark County is concentrated in east Vancouver and Camas, with many professionals who work at high-tech firms such as WaferTech and SEH America. Young himself came to the U.S. with his family when he was 16 and has worked at On Semiconductor in Gresham, Ore., for 17 years. His wife, Li Xu, has been chief practitioner at a traditional Chinese medical clinic, Mind & Body Natural Healing, for the past 13. So the family is both very modern and very traditional.
"My daughters were born in the United States, in Vancouver, but they never had good exposure to Chinese culture," he said.
No matter how good the traditional Chinese cooking at home, he said, he can't miss the twinkle in their eyes at the mention of McDonald's.
It's no problem, Young said.
"I think it's a very good experience. It's always good to have exposure to more cultures," he said. "Especially in this global economy, everything is so tied together. Vancouver and Camas and Portland all have a tight business relationship with China. It's a good thing to share that culture with the community."
This year's party will include authentic Chinese food and performances in the traditionally eye-popping Beijing Opera style: full of brilliant costumes and virtuoso musicians playing everything from violins to zithers also known as guzheng. Altogether, there's more than 21/2 hours of entertainment on tap.
The Vancouver Chinese Association is asking that guests register, so they have a sense of how many they'll be feeding and entertaining. Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and children as old as 11. Those younger than 3 are free. Email email@example.com. The event is set for 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Feb. 8 at Union High School, 6201 N.W. Friberg St., Camas.
Bits 'n' Pieces appears Fridays and Saturdays. If you have a story you'd like to share, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

BikeBoards take your bike skiing
BIkeBoards adjust to various tire sizes
Built like a regular ski, BikeBoards have a steel edge and sidecut
BikeBoards says its ski offers better float than even the fattest bikes out there
BikeBoards recently debuted at the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market
The BikeBoards attach to the front tire via a pin system
To prevent the tire from moving, the BikeBoards kit includes a strap to lock the brake down
BikeBoards put to the test
Keeping the rear tire free allows riders to bike on flats and climbs
BikeBoards in the field
Using BikeBoards on both tires transforms the bike into a full-blown ski bike
A new way to bike all year long
Article Summary
Bikes designed for snow, ice and weather have really become all the rage over the past few years.
