'Nam deejays air their memories
Excerpt from: The
Indianapolis Star Newspaper April 29, 2002
By Will Higgins
Military reunions take place all the
time, but these old soldiers weren't infantrymen or
artillerymen. They were broadcasters -- news readers,
engineers, producers and deejays who informed and entertained
the U.S. troops in Vietnam.
Some have stayed in touch over the years,
but this was the first official get-together of veterans of
the American Forces Vietnam Network.
It was held, over the weekend, in
Indianapolis because Emmanuel Harper lives here. Harper was a
broadcast supervisor in 1971-72 (he had a weekly jazz show,
too). He knows how to barbecue, and he promised that
Indianapolis in late April is beautiful.
The weather was lousy, so the 30-some
veterans shoehorned into Harper's Far-Eastside home Saturday
and ate ribs and cornbread and drank mostly coffee. Harper put
a bottle of Jim Beam out, but there were few takers.
Adrian Cronauer did not attend. Often,
the first question AFVNers get is about Cronauer, who gained a
measure of fame after Robin Williams played him as a
rebellious, anti-establishment AFVN deejay in the movie "Good
Morning, Vietnam."
"Adrian is a great guy, and we all like
him very much," said AFVN newsman Bob Morecook, now a Houston
But the movie was misleading. "If I'd
done like he did in the movie and was totally disrespectful of
authority," said Garry Lyons, "I'd have been kicked out so
The radio and TV network was started, by
the U.S. Army, in 1963. Later, as more and more American
soldiers were sent to Vietnam, the operation was enlarged. At
its height, the Saigon studio had a staff of 250. There were
nine field stations.
"At first," said Lyons, wearing a "United
we stand" American flag sweatshirt, "there was a controversy
about whether we were broadcasters who happened to be military
personnel, or military personnel who happened to be
It quickly emerged that they were
soldiers first.
"Our mission was to bring as much of home
(as possible) to the troops, who were so far away from home,"
said Bob Nelson.
But the deejays faced a dilemma: A lot of
the music being played on radio stations back home was
The veterans recalled the degree of
censorship differently. "When the music came in," said Harper,
"we'd look at it, and if the message of it was 'war stinks,'
well, we already knew that. So we weren't going to play it on
the radio. You had to keep it positive. People were dying over
On the other hand, some troops clamored
for music that people like Harper found negative. The Animals'
"We Gotta Get Out of this Place" was one of the most requested
songs, said Tom Fowlston -- "and I played it."
Fowlston said he played Edwin Starr's
"War," too ("What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!").
"There was so much anti-military,
anti-establishment, anti-government attitude at that time back
home," said Lyons, who was 37 during his year in Vietnam. "And
some of the younger guys -- they were in the Army, but deep
down they had that anti-military feeling. Any restriction in
their mind was censorship."
At the barbecue, the closest thing to
Robin Williams' Cronauer was Joe Huser. During his stint in
Vietnam, 1972-73, Huser wore Hawaiian shirts and was the host
of a show called "Underground."
He played harder-edged music, such as
Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. The higher-ups weren't excited
about the show, Huser recalls, but they realized the troops
wanted it.
But even Huser knew his limits. Take the
Country Joe and the Fish song that goes: "What are we fighting
for?/Don't ask me, I don't give a damn/Next stop is Vietnam."
"We got a lot of requests for that,"
Huser said, "but of course we didn't play it."

What's NUMA? It's just an acronym for Non-Uniform Memory Access. This means that some memory in your system is more expensive for a particular CPU to access than its "local" memory.
You can see how much more distant the kernel considers the different zones by using the numactl command like so:
numactl --hardwareIf you've got a modern multiprocessor system, you'll probably see something like this:
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 size: 48417 MB
node 0 free: 219 MB
node 1 size: 48480 MB
node 1 free: 135 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 21
1: 21 10
Here we see a distance of 10 for node 0 to access node 0 memory and 21 for node 0 to access node 1 memory. What does distance really mean? It's a cost parameter based on number of "hops" or buses that separate the node from the distant memory.
Now, what's zone reclaim mode?
From the linux kernel docs:
Zone_reclaim_mode allows someone to set more or less aggressive approaches to
reclaim memory when a zone runs out of memory. If it is set to zero then no
zone reclaim occurs. Allocations will be satisfied from other zones / nodes
in the system.
This is value ORed together of
1 = Zone reclaim on
2 = Zone reclaim writes dirty pages out
4 = Zone reclaim swaps pages
zone_reclaim_mode is set during bootup to 1 if it is determined that pages
from remote zones will cause a measurable performance reduction. The
page allocator will then reclaim easily reusable pages (those page
cache pages that are currently not used) before allocating off node pages.
It may be beneficial to switch off zone reclaim if the system is
used for a file server and all of memory should be used for caching files
from disk. In that case the caching effect is more important than
data locality.
Allowing zone reclaim to write out pages stops processes that are
writing large amounts of data from dirtying pages on other nodes. Zone
reclaim will write out dirty pages if a zone fills up and so effectively
throttle the process. This may decrease the performance of a single process
since it cannot use all of system memory to buffer the outgoing writes
anymore but it preserve the memory on other nodes so that the performance
of other processes running on other nodes will not be affected.
Allowing regular swap effectively restricts allocations to the local
node unless explicitly overridden by memory policies or cpuset
I highlighted the text above because PostgreSQL depends heavily on the filesystem cache and disabling zone reclaim mode is desirable in this situation.
There's been a bit of discussion about this on the pgsql-performance mailing list here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-performance/2012-07/msg00215.php
If you've got a modern multi-socket system, odds are good that zone reclaim mode is enabled automatically on boot. You can check this by looking at /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.
The biggest issue we've seen with zone reclaim mode enabled on customer multi-socket systems is the filesystem cache never filling up even when the database is much larger than RAM. That's because the system is trying to keep some "local" memory available. After disabling zone_reclaim_mode, the filesystem cache fills up and performance improves.
So, how to disable zone_reclaim_mode? The best way to do this is via sysctl. Just add:
vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 0
to /etc/sysctl.conf, save it and execute sysctl -p to load the new settings into the kernel.

Of late it seems that every knot of headwind on dredging that propels the Port St. Joe Port Authority is buffeted by a not.
Last week the board heard continuing good news on a permit application to dredge the federally-authorized shipping channel to authorized depth.
The Florida Legislature included in their budget an appropriation that represents at least a healthy down payment on the dredging.
The U.S. Congress was scheduled this week to take up legislation negotiated by Senate and House leaders which would among other provisions buttress funding for dredging and maintenance projects across the country and would earmark a specific percentage of dollars for "emerging ports" such as the Port of Port St. Joe.
The St. Joe Company, the Port Authority's collaborator in developing the port, is codifying in contract two letters of intent signed last year with energy companies wishing to ship through the port.
In those agreements, for the first time, the Port Authority would be a partner.
And Holland Ware, whose foundation has expressed strong interest in shipping through the Port of Port St. Joe, attended last week's regular monthly meeting and stated his ongoing support of efforts to unlock the potential of the port.
That positive momentum was mitigated by ongoing issues pertaining to basic operations during what board member Eugene Raffield said was a "rubber meets the road" moment.
Those issues were compounded by the end of last week's meeting as Nadine Lee stepped down for personal reasons from her position as administrative assistant.
With the departure of Lee, who had worked for much of the past two years as an unpaid volunteer, the Port Authority lacks any staff, having previously lost its port director.
With looming payments for director liability insurance at the end of next month and dues to the Florida Ports Council, a lobbying and advocacy organization for ports in the state, sometime this summer, little in the bank and prospects for tenants unlikely before the next fiscal year and 2015, the board is battling for existence.
A community fundraising effort has raised just under $30,000, far below the expectations of board chairman Leonard Costin.
"If we stop, this all stops," said board member Jessica Rish.
Raffield said the time had arrived for a sit-down with local governing bodies, a workshop "to let everybody know what is at stake."
A bullet point of what was needed for the Port Authority to maintain operations should be presented along with the progress being made toward dredging, with the permit application to be submitted by fall and dredging commencing early 2015.
"It's time for us to get organized and put a fine point on this," Raffield said of a workshop with the county and municipalities at the soonest opportunity. "Everything has changed. We all have a giant stake in this."
The Port Authority needs additional assistance from the Board of County Commissioners in the form of relief from a payment looming this summer on a $199,000 loan, funded with federal economic development dollars.
The BOCC and Port Authority had discussed linking that relief to collateral on the loan, but attorney Tom Gibson said the state had heartburn with mortgaging the old Arizona Chemical property, owned outright by the Port Authority, due to the use of federal grant dollars in the securement of the land.
"I would hope the county would work with us," said board member Jason Shoaf.
Rish said the loan should be part of a formal request to the BOCC for assistance in Port Authority operating expenses, pegged at $65,000 for the duration of the fiscal year.
Gibson noted that beginning in 2016 the BOCC would begin to recoup significant property taxes for the parcel recently foreclosed by Capital City Bank and Costin noted the BOCC had recently had funding to the former Gulf County Economic Development Alliance, Inc. returned by the agency.
"The county stands to benefit the most from the port working," Rish said.
With those dynamics as backdrop, the boxes for the process to dredging are being steadily ticked off.
Tommy Pitts, project manager with Hatch Mott MacDonald on the dredging permit application said forward progress continues toward the September target for submitting the application.
Dollars to further the cause of developing the port are also in the pipeline.
A state appropriation for $20 million for dredging must survive a veto by the governor, but if approved would offer roughly half of the estimated cost of dredging. The hope is that once approved and the dredging underway next spring, further state investment will come, Costin said.
The contracts with Green Circle and Enova energy companies are aimed at freeing up money already in the state budget to address rail improvements along the Genesse Wyoming rail line feeding into the port.
The contracts would "justify releasing the rail grant," Costin said.
In Congress, the House and Senate are taking up the final draft of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act.
Among other provisions, the bill contains language that would require federal agencies to fully spend the trust fund established to operation and maintenance activities at the nation's ports/harbors.
The bill also supports underserved and emerging ports, such as the Ports of Port St. Joe and Panama City, by allocating a specific percentage of those trust funds for ports/harbors that have output of less than 1 million tons annually.
Further, when the trust fund expenditures exceed that of the fiscal year 2012, 10 percent of that excess must be directed to emerging ports and 5 percent to underserved ports.
"I am pleased that we're now on the verge of some tremendous victories for Florida's growing maritime industries," said Rep. Steve Southerland (R-Panama City). "This legislation will direct new resources to Florida's emerging ports to help capitalize on the economic growth opportunities that come with the expansion of the Panama Canal."
A further positive is recent direct communication with Doug Wheeler, president of the Florida Ports Council, by Raffield during the council's recent annual meeting and by Costin in a face-to-face scheduled for this week.
"I am impressed with what you all are doing and appreciate what you're doing," Ware said. "We are very supportive of the port."

Since goods of all kinds are now able to cross into Gaza from Egypt, due to the border crossing having been opened by the Egyptian authorities, the idea of a blockade being broken by these vessels is complete and utter nonsense.
Since Syria is much closer, how about if you show support for the Syrian people and send the flotilla with the much needed medicines and equipment there? I think it will be a very, very honorable gesture that will boost your credibility significantly. Ship ahoy and bon voyage!

Volunteers are an important part of the Achilles community and take on numerous roles, such as:
While their general role is to accompany disabled runners during the course of a workout or race, on any given day an Achilles volunteer will function as a member's eyes, ears, guide, and motivator. But ask any Achilles volunteer why they do it, and you'll hear the same answer, over and over: they get back as much as they give, and more.
"Walking as a Volunteer with Achilles makes you a better person. The first time I walked with a visually impaired athlete during the Achilles Marathon in Prospect Park, she was able to tell me about the areas we were walking by. The birds and the open fields. I had the vision but missed what she heard by walking with me. I have learned to take better notice of the beauty in everyday life. We learn that you can accomplish whatever you want, there are only abilities no disabilities in life you just have to take advantage of them." - Achilles Volunteer

How to dual-boot Linux Mint 10 and Windows 7
This is the latest in a series of tutorials that has been published on this site on how to dual-boot Windows 7 and Linux distributions. Previous articles published on this subject are how to dual-boot Fedora 14 and Windows 7 and how to dual-boot Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7. This article presents a step by step guide on how to dual-boot Linux Mint 10 and Windows 7. This tutorial assumes an installation of Mint 10 on a computer with a single disk, with an existing installation of Windows 7. A previous article was on how to dual-boot Linux Mint 10 and Ubuntu 10.10 on a computer with two hard disk drives.
After booting up the computer from the Linux Mint 10 CD or DVD into the Live environment, begin the installation process by clicking on the Install Linux Mint icon on the desktop. The image below shows the third step of that installation process. The first option shows that the installer has detected another operating system on the hard drive. Click on the Forward button to go to the next step.
The test installation used for this tutorial was in a virtual environment with about 75 GB of disk space. Windows 7 was installed on this hard drive. The installer automatically shrinks the space occupied by Windows 7 to make room for Mint. The size it allocates to Mint depends on the size of the hard drive. You can resize it by positioning the cursor between both sections as shown below and dragging to the left or right.
This shows the resized partitions. How much space you take from Windows will depend on how much you want it to have. Click Install Now when you are done resizing the partitions. Note: The installer will install GRUB, the boot loader, in the Master boot Record (MBR) of the hard disk. That means that GRUB will be responsible for dual-booting both operating systems.
After installation and at every reboot or boot up of the computer, you will be presented with the GRUB menu. Now, you can boot into Mint 10 or Windows 7. Notice that Mint 10 uses GRUB 2.
When you boot into Windows, or attempt to boot into Windows, it will complain about the disk being corrupted and recommend that you check it. Comply. After checking, the system will reboot and drop you back to the GRUB boot menu. Now select the Windows 7 option and you should be able to boot into Windows 7 successfully.

Sorry to open up an older thread, but I had a quick question… I followed these instructions, and my computer (Dell Inspiron 1545) can now dual boot LinuxMint 11 or Windows 7. However, for some reason I can no longer find any wireless networks to connect to in either Linux or Windows 7. I have a Dell Wireless 1397 wlan mini-card. I have tried disabling/enabling, uninstalling/installing/ updating the driver, etc. According to the mini-card, it is working fine. Do you know how to fix this??
Hopefully my question is clear, if not let me know and I will try to explain it better.
Thanks for the help!
i already follow your tutorial, it seems succes until i choose linux mint.
it takes vary long time to boot, and it ask name and password while booting.
can you give me some advice?
nb: sorry for my english, im not very good on it
Hello, I have my HD which has two partition. My C:/ has Windows7 then i have my partition at d:/ – which is my important files then i have my other partition which is
f:/ -which is for Linuxmint10 (Julia). Now i have followed
this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs01nml0E .
I follow it step by step until i got fulled installed.
But then when attempt to reboot, i suppose to have an
option of which of the two OS should i use. Why it loads
directly to Windows7? Did i miss something? Pls. Help
I'm having trouble.. I first install Windows 7. I split the hd into two partitions and put Windows 7 on one of them. The install finishes and Win7 works. Then I install Linux Mint 10 on the other partition. Install finishes and LM 10 works. But when I restart (or just start) the computer, I'm given no choice, LM 10 starts. I can find no sign of Win7 and the machine only starts Linux. I tried to follow the instructions. What should I do?
I already have Windows 7 and Mint 8 installed on a single harddisk with dual booting governed by Grub. I want to replace Mint 8 with Mint 10. If I follow the directions you give, will I still be able to boot into Windows, or are there special procedures I should follow? Thanks for your hellp.

As the Northeast recovers from the effects of Hurricane Sandy, students and faculty at Pennsylvania College of Technology are beginning to focus on the end of the semester and the well-deserved break that follows. Yes, fall semester will soon be winding down. Can you believe it? This is a time in the academic year when students may experience anticipation and excitement about the break, but also anxiety and apprehension about what needs to be done before they are able to relax. Papers and final projects are due, final exams consume the last week of school. Students cope with academic stress in a variety of ways, some more effectively than others. You may sense that your son or daughter is struggling, or you may receive a more direct message such as a frantic call in the middle of the night. Either way, this article provides ideas about how to help your son or daughter to successfully navigate through the academic challenges ahead. You may find that some of the ideas help you as well!
Students have been notified of important changes that affect both the scheduling period and the start of the spring 2013 semester.
The "Drop/Add & Late Registration" day, typically held a week prior to the start of classes, will no longer be held. Instead, returning students (except those funded by TAA or on academic probation) will be able to drop and add courses via Web scheduling from the start of their scheduling time through midnight on Jan. 13 (except Dec. 18-21 due to end-of-semester processing).
The impact of this change is that the schedules students created in early November are more likely to be the schedules they keep. Therefore, students were encouraged to work closely with their advisers to develop schedules that best suit their needs.
The period of time following the tuition due date (Dec. 17) through the first day of the semester will be considered the Late Registration period. Students will incur a $50 late fee if tuition is not paid by the due date.
Students with unpaid tuition bills on the first day of classes will have their schedules purged (deleted) at the close of business that day. They will need to reschedule their classes and pay the tuition and fees, as well as the $50 late fee. Because many classes will be filled by this time, creating the same schedule they had prior to being purged will be nearly impossible.
Contact the Registrar's office for questions about how these changes impact the scheduling process. Contact the Bursar's/Student Accounts office for questions about tuition payment and late fees.

We have found that most students who become Penn College student leaders grow, develop, and take away an experience that is "life changing!"
Leadership experience is not required. So encourage your student to apply for one or more of these exciting opportunities.
Once we ring in the new year and the spring semester starts, the Financial Aid Office will begin focusing on the next academic year. The 2013-14 academic year includes summer 2013, fall 2013, and spring 2014 semesters. We recommend all students who plan to attend one or more of those semesters complete a 2013-14 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which is a crucial application for various types of financial aid. For most families, the ideal time to complete a FAFSA is February or March, allowing students to meet Penn College's Priority FAFSA Submission deadline of April 15.
Some of the questions on a FAFSA are financial questions, so we highly recommend families wait until after completing their 2012 IRS Tax Returns before starting the FAFSA. Beginning in February, the FAFSA will offer the IRS Data Retrieval Tool which allows most federal taxpayers (students or parents) the option to directly transfer key items from an IRS Tax Return to a FAFSA. This easy process saves times and reduces the chance of errors. Because there is a 'lag time' between electronic submission of an IRS Tax Return and availability of the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, we advise waiting at least 1-2 weeks after submitting your tax return before assisting your child with the FAFSA.
We will have more to tell you about the FAFSA and the IRS Data Retrieval Tool in the next newsletter. Note that there is only one government FAFSA website and an easy way to find it is to click on the FAFSA icon on Penn College's Financial Aid Office site.

Seems like there is a story every other week about Muslims who are really, really angry—sometimes violently angry—about a cartoon or film or book that is critical of Islam or the Prophet Muhammad. The latest installment, according to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, via the Holy Weblog, is Lars Hedegaard's book Groft Sagt, or "Rough Talk":
It is a collection of about 100 of his favorite newspaper columns from a Copenhagen daily. Many of the columns are critical of Islam. In addition, the book features 26 new illustrations from Kurt Westergaard, whose drawings of the Prophet Mohammed in the newspaper Jyllands Posten in 2005 sparked a wave of violent protests.
An Israeli security center is sounding the alarm about calls for a violent backlash after noticing a series of incendiary posts on jihadist web sites. According to an International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) release, someone identifying himself as Abu Salem posted comments about Hedegaard's book on a website called Hanein, "a mouthpiece for Al-Qaeda and other jihad organizations":
"Abu Salem requests that all who love the Prophet Muhammad help spread the news of the upcoming publication and notify religious leaders of what 'these pigs' are attempting to do. One forum visitor responded to the post, suggesting that Bin Laden attack Copenhagen, repeating the call: 'Bin Laden, Copenhagen!' several times. Another forum visitor wrote: 'Our blood… our souls… our children… our money… all that we have… the entire world… anything so that a single hair of your distinguished head [i.e. Muhammad] is not harmed.'"

text: A quick look at any bartender's guide lets even the most clueless guzzler in on the little secrets that make for a good drink. In the case of margaritas, it's simple: a shot of primo tequila, one-third that amount of Cointreau--the orange liqueur--and ice and a hearty squeeze of lime juice. Gently shake those ingredients and strain into a salt-rimmed glass filled with ice cubes and there you have it. Perfection. And, now that you know this, you can provide directions on making a superior margarita instead of a sweet, sticky headache in a too-big glass. If you're too timid to boss the bartender around, you can just go downtown to Chevy's, where two types of fabulous margaritas are guaranteed on the menu. First, there's the Tradicional, an exact replica of what is written in the bartender's guide, right down to the gentle straining, for $5.50. Those who want a bit less tartness and better tequila should try the 1800 Top Shelf, which for $5.75 comes with a rich drizzle of Grand Marnier. But be careful how many of these you drink or you might end up thinking that all the enormous sombreros and weird donkey piñatas that go with this chain's Mexican theme are closing in on you.

But all is not lost. You can download free music legally from sites like GarageBand.com, which spotlights independent artists. These artists are like the local bands you see playing around town — they self-produce and self-record their own music and then distribute it on GarageBand.com to give people a chance to hear them. While you won't find the latest Usher single on these sites, you may find a gem or two from an "undiscovered" band.
Another way to find free music is to visit the Web sites of your favorite artists. Often these artists provide free downloads of bonus or live tracks or alternative mixes of their hits. You may even be able to view a few of their music videos online.
So, unless you're willing to go low-tech and tape it off the radio, you'll need to pay to stay legal. The good news is you no longer have to pay $15 for a CD to get just one song. You can visit an online music store, such as the iTunes Music Store, and download that one song for 99 cents. Just imagine, you can create a CD of your favorite 10 songs from different CDs and pay only 10 bucks. Sure, it's not free, but you're not paying $150 for all those CDs either!

"You know, Castro? He's been working on his economy for 50-plus years now."
Rush Limbaugh made a spot-on analogy on his radio program today...
RUSH: I want to remind everybody, "Barack Hussein Obama! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!" campaigned for president as the man who could fix our economy. That was the whole point of his campaign. Has anybody forgotten this? In 2007-2008, Barack Obama ran on the basis that he could fix the economy. Now 3-1/2 years in? I don't need to detail you the decay, the destruction, the deterioration, the plummeting aspects of our economy. You all know that. Now what are we told?
"Nobody could have, and he needs another three or four years to do it. And no matter what how hard he worked and how much he cares, there's nobody else who coulda done it, either. And we're told that that explanation has convinced a majority of Americans to support Obama 'cause there nobody else that could do it and there's nobody else that cares as much and there's nobody else who will work as hard."
I guess while playing golf and basketball and bowling and campaigning.
It's amazing.
You know, Castro? He's been working on his economy for 50-plus years now. Fidel Castro was never able to fix Cuba's economy, and you know what he blames it on? He calls it "the blockade," but it's the embargo. Fidel Castro hasn't been able to fix his economy, and his economic policies mirror Obama's. Well, Castro's are older so I should say, "Obama's mirror Castro's." I'm sure the Cubans think, "This guy just needs a little bit more time. He really cares about us, this Castro guy does.
"He fought a revolution for us. Why, he risked death for us here in Cuba. Yeah, he really cares. There's nobody who coulda done better. Batista coulda done any better. Marti couldn't have done any better. Hell no! Castro's the only guy coulda done it. But hell, in 50-plus years Castro hasn't been able to fix it." Do you know that Barack Obama is gonna inherit a worse economy than he inherited the first time around?
And then what is he gonna do? Here we get the entire media and the Democrat Party saying, "Well, you know, he inherited this mess. I mean, it was worse than anybody knew, and nobody told the truth about it, and he's worked hard, and he really cares. The Clinton bump! The Clinton bump! That's where Clinton told everybody that nobody else coulda done any better either, and there's nobody that cares any more than Barack Obama.
"Nobody works any harder! Michelle told us that. No! No! Barack, that's all he reads every night: Letters from the starving. He reads letters from the thirsty every night. He said, 'Michelle, look at what's happening to people. We can't let this go on. We've gotta fix it. After three years in office, Michelle, look at this! This person is still hungry. Michelle, we gotta do something.'"
That's what she said in her speech in the convention, and people ooh'd and ahh'd. "Ahhhh!" But it turns out now that Barack Obama is going to inherent an even worse economy the second time around. What is the excuse for that gonna be? Let's say he wins and we're in 2014. What's the excuse gonna be? "Well, they didn't tell me in 2009 how bad it was. It's gonna take a few more years."

At one point the country had more merchant ships than other European countries combined, and Amsterdam became a key trade city for transporting goods via its network of canals.
Stroll around the canal belt, seeing places of interest relating to the Golden Age, as well as Amsterdam attractions like the Old Church (Oude Kerk) and Amsterdam Museum – housed in a beautiful civic building.
After exploring, head inside a traditional cheese shop to learn about cheese production in the city, and, of course, to sample the wares! Enjoy a selection of artisan cheeses along with a glass of wine to complement the flavors. Your tour finishes here, but you can stay longer if you wish to shop for cheese and explore the shop.

Upgrade to include a canal cruise ticket with your tour, and see Amsterdam's countless sights from the water. Your canal ticket will be given to you after your walking tour finishes, and it can be enjoyed on any date (not necessarily on the day of your tour). Cruise through the city on a tour lasting 1 hour and 15 minutes, seeing top Amsterdam attractions such as Holland Casino, Anne Frank House, Central Station, Rembrandt House and Vondel Park.

Madonna uses guns at performance, angers Colorado audience
October 19, 2012 - 10:22 am
Decrease Increase Text size
DENVER (AP) - Some Colorado fans are upset after music superstar Madonna used guns during a performance.
Madonna started her show Thursday night at the Pepsi Center in Denver with a gun scene, which she has used in previous performances.
According to KUSA-TV, the station received several calls Friday from concert-goers saying they were offended she used guns and violence as part of her show in light of recent events in the state that included a mass shooting at a theater during a Batman movie on July 20 that left 12 people dead.
Madonna and her agent could not be reached for comment.

Handy Tips For Doll Clothes Patterns
Doll clothes patterns are easily adjusted before cutting to ensure a good fit for 18 inch dolls. It is very easy for a seasoned seamstress to quickly gauge size differences by comparing popular 18 inch dolls. If your kids own dolls from different companies and you do not want to take custom measurements for various patterns you can consult charts that contain measurements of popular doll brands. There are charts readily available with neatly cataloged measurements for most leading brands that sell both doll clothes and doll clothes patterns that just need to be sewn together!
Stitching for dolls is more of a challenge than stitching for children as dolls can be inflexible, requiring a thorough seam and plenty of margin to allow for rigid hands and legs. It is a good idea to backstitch and reinforce seams at stress points like underarms, hips and waist. Try to make plenty of allowance so that the clothes are a little roomy, this prevents tearing when children pull them on their dolls quickly and impatiently!
Choosing the right Pattern
Choose patterns that look good on a doll's exaggerated proportions, with a big head and a slim body and a short neck. A smaller size for little dolls calls for changes in the technique adopted and the material you pick. Use gently flowing fabric that is malleable and very easy to sew over bulky, stiff fabric that cannot be easily folded over or twisted for fancy styles. You should also be prepared to put in a lot of effort when hand stitching, as it is not always possible to stitch delicate fabric with your sewing machine. When you are piecing together a set-in sleeve for example, the arm's opening could be too small to put under your machine.
Tying up loose Ends
To finish raw edges after stitching the seam, zig-zag close to the fabric edge. This prevents the doll's clothes from falling apart when you run it in the washing machine or dryer. If you are using knit or polar fleece, you will have to finish the seam. Velcro is a great idea for fasteners, as they make it very easy to open and close the garment, even for small kids' fingers. Velcro is much easier to attach than delicate, fastidious snaps and can usually be found in clothing retail stores.
If you are having trouble stitching, place a thin sheet of paper under the piece of fabric and let it act as a stabilizer while you stitch. Once you are done you can pull out the paper.
The final Touch
As you choose a doll fabric for your 18 inch dolls keep in mind the desired color and texture of the doll outfit, occasion and the physique of the doll. Choose the right colors that will enhance the doll's eyes, hair and skin. The fabric you choose when sewing doll clothes is as important as the technique used.
Light weight, flowing, non-bulky fabrics made of cotton or polyester blends are best suited for doll fabric. It is best to stay clear of polyester knits as they are too thick and difficult to sew.
There are free doll clothes patterns that work for 18 inch dolls on many websites ready for be easy download. Just follow their simple instructions and doll up your princess's best friend in the comfort of your home!
But if these don't appeal to you, you can also make custom doll clothes with little tid bits available at home. Doll patterns are available through blogs, art, crafting and sewing websites, and most of these websites offer free downloadable versions that can be printed for reference.

Xbox Live Arcade could return on Xbox One
Phil Spencer open to idea if ID@Xbox fails to "fill the gap"
Posted on Wednesday 26-Mar-2014 10:19 AM GMT By Aoife Wilson,
You guys heard the talk this morning that Facebook just bought $2BN worth of Octopus? Ridiculous. Meanwhile, in more important news on Twitter, Phil Spencer has reiterated his support for the ID@Xbox program whilst hinting that the Xbox Live Arcade may one day make a triumphant return to our consoles.
Though Spencer is fully behind the ID@Xbox program and confident that it'll the gap left behind by the demise of XBLA, he says he'll keep an open mind about reintroducing the channel if ID@Xbox games struggle to find a following.
@BobFTW14 I feel like when ID@XBOX gets rolling it will fill the gap that XBLA filled on 360. If it doesn't I'm up for return of XBLA.— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) March 26, 2014
One fan's main gripe with the loss of XBLA was that the online space had "lost its character" - there's nothing to distinguish the indie games from their big budget brethren. Could ID@Xbox titles receive special tags, like XBLA's orange banners? Spencer seems receptive to the idea.
@BobFTW14 I like all games equal but I also think people will want to know what's ID, having a place in store or a ID tag could make sense.— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) March 26, 2014
I certainly think there's still room for an XBLA-style section on Xbox One's online store - how about you? If you recall, Microsoft merged the Arcade channel into the main Games section in order to prevent the formation of an XBLIG-style ghetto, buried deep in the dashboard.
The firm claims that Xbox Live's new discovery algorithms now publicise games that would otherwise have been lost, doing away with the need for "sponsored content" slots and the like. ID@Xbox also imposes fewer charges and restrictions on developers when it comes to publishing their work.

Jeff Ziegler, a Sales and Lease Consultant with Cypress Motors, hands over the keys to 605 Tarry Air Cadet Squardon members David Brady and Mackenzie Lychak during today's Drive 4 UR School test drive fundraiser at the Lieutenant Colonel Clifton Centre.
Cypress Motors is again bringing Ford Motor Company of Canada Limited's innovative Drive 4 UR School program to Swift Current in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for 605 Tarry Air Cadet Squardon. For every person who test-drives a Ford vehicle at the Lieutenant Colonel Clifton Centre on June 8 Ford of Canada will donate $20 to the squadron.
"We're really excited to be helping the Tarry Air Cadet Squadron to raise funds for programming, training and tours," said Jeff Parsons, dealer principle, Cypress Motors. "The Drive 4 UR School events have raised a significant amount of funds for schools and community organizations around the province since the program was initiated. It's wonderful to play a role in so many community building projects. We encourage as many people as possible to come out to help raise funds for the squadron."
The event will also feature an Air Cadet Dream Flyer Motion Flight Simulator. Any individual who drives a Ford vehicle in the event in support of the squadron, will have the opportunity for a ride in the motion flight simulator. The squadron will also be offering coffee and baking to individuals who participate in the drive event.
"We want to thank Cypress Motors and Ford of Canada for providing the squadron with the opportunity to raise some significant funds for programming and training through this one day event. We also want to thank the people of southern Saskatchewan for their support, and urge everyone to come and drive a Ford in support of 605 Tarry Air Cadet Squadron – the leaders of tomorrow," said Jeff Kurtz, 605 Sponsorship Committee Chair.
The event, which will be held from 9 am to 5 pm, will feature the Ford Fiesta, Edge, Escape, Focus, Fusion, F-150, Super Duty and other available models.
Since the start of Ford's Drive 4 UR School and Community programs in 2010, more than 77,000 test-drives at more than 500 events have generated over $1 million in donations for high schools and organizations in Canada.
In addition to raising much-needed revenue for worthwhile causes, the program gives participants the chance to experience first-hand Ford's exciting new vehicles which boasts features such as MyFord Touch™, EcoBoost™, SIRIUS and ActiveParkAssist.
To participate, visit Lieutenant Colonel Clifton Centre, 350 6th Ave. N.E., between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver's license. There is a limit of one test-drive per household.

CORALVILLE, Iowa - "Community" is one of the most overused, misused words in the dialogue around startups. It is also one of the most vital, fundamental necessities for a thriving economy.
So said Scott Case and Scott Heiferman Wednesday night, during the Startup Iowa Town Hall. The Town Hall was part of the UP America Summit, a national conference on entrepreneurial community building hosted in the Corridor this week.
"It's really about the richness of the network," Case said. As CEO of the Startup America Partnership (now part of UP Global), Case has traveled around the country for the past three years, studying startup hubs in inconspicuous locales like ours.
Heiferman echoed the sentiment. His company, Meetup.com, facilitates millions of offline gatherings around the world each day.
"I so firmly believe in the power of that connective tissue, and what it can do to spark a startup industry, and really solve so many problems in people's lives, in the world," he said.
"When people talk to each other, and tell their story of 'me' to each other, what emerges is a story of 'we.'"
Heiferman also stressed the importance of making the community diverse and inclusive. After one audience member had asked about how to make startups fun and several others had shouted, "beer," Heiferman cautioned against a "bro culture" in tech communities.
"Of course, beer can be important, I'm not preaching against that. But the energy, and the spirit, and the purpose comes from the excitement of what's being built," he said. "Really ask yourselves, for the community you're building, is it inclusive of the diversity that will make it that much more awesome?"
Heiferman, a University of Iowa graduate, said he felt like he had to move to the coast after graduation to find the work he wanted to do. Twenty years later, he said he sees that idea shifting.
"Today, you could stay in Iowa and do almost anything," he said. "It's so much more possible to create companies, and do almost anything from anywhere now."

My problem with alpha males
I'm short, I'm very average looking, and I'm thin. To make up for those deficiencies, I have to rely on conversation and humor. The problem is that... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Why don't you emphasize your good qualities? I'm sure you have features about you, which if emphasized or highlighted would be appealing. You can be short, average looking, and thin but a nice dresser. You can work out and get toned (you don't have to be muscular lots of girls like that lean yet defined look). You can work on your best qualities and not ONLY have to rely on conversation and humor. Just don't view yourself as "lesser" because you're short. Don't think that every tall guy has it easy. There are plenty of ugly ass tall guys walking around, I've never heard of a girl who was like "yeah he's ugly in the face, sh*tty personality but he's tallll!"
What Girls Said 8
I can't speak for other girls but as far as my own opinion goes, I do pay attention to a good conversation and humor. A tall guy may turn heads but if he's an ass, it really doesn't matter. If a girl is only attracted to a man based on his looks, that is a SHALLOW girl.
You should consider yourself lucky if you're able to dodge someone with that type of personality! Because do you really want someone who can't appreciate your "shortness" and "average looks"?
Please. Don't you think you deserve to share your good personality with someone who is equally kind and considerate?! I think so!
What you can do is what you've been doing! Being yourself and actually putting life into a conversation. Obviously there are things you can do to improve your appearance and your health but you shouldn't worry too much about women who are clueless to begin with.
I agree +1
First of all, girls who will leave you and go for the so called tall good looking 'alphay male' are shallower than a toddlers play pool. I would take conversation and humour over that any day. So maybe you need to choose different girls and be thankful that you didn't spend any more time on the women that go for the alpha male.
I'd also just like to add something here..women go through the same thing with men. I could be talking to a decent guy and he'd be laughing at my jokes and flirting but as soon as a chick in a shorter skirt, bigger boobs, longer legs walks by, what do you think happens? We get ditched too.
Also on a side note, you may think being short and thin and average looking is a 'deficiency' but some girls may find you hugely attractive. I love a short guy personally - tall guys strain my neck ;)
I am sorry you feel this way. If you stop working hard, you will see that the person that is attracted to is more than skin deep. I understand because yeah, I get bypass for the tall, beautiful, and attractive girls. I get a bunch of guys falling for me after they get to know me.
I always wonder what would it be like for a guy to just fall for me without having to get to know but then I get back to myself and realize if someone like me more than skin deep, I should appreciate it. I think you should just not feel pressure by external people but realize that you love yourself and that confident in self is attractive.
This shouldn't be titled "My problem with alpha males", it should be titled "My insecurities and failures because of "alpha males" '
Why don't you try to gain some muscle? That's sexy! Being thin as a guy isn't as attractive, it makes them look frail.
it's difficult for me to gain weight. I work out and I play tennis regularly, so I'm actually in pretty good shape, it just doesn't show very well.
What Guys Said 3
I suggest you go to places where there are more women than men. Avoid bars and clubs. Think college campuses and yoga studios. Build a slow but steady relationship network of female friends and sooner or later if you have other good traits, you can probably convert one into a relationship or two. Change your tactics and you'll have better luck.
Bulk up, grow your muscles big. Learn how to project yourself more powerfully, e.g., body language, posture, assertiveness (not aggressiveness).
Because I hate telling you this, that's life, people will always go for those with the top qualities, all you can do is work with what you have.
Totally disagree. I hate huge muscles.. I hate arrogant overly confident men. The alpha male thing does nothing for me. It's a turn off.
well, I didn't say it would work for EVERYBODY. Nobody is universally attractive.
I'm short (5'6"), but I get plenty of action. This was and is still an issue for me.
Always remember: You are as tall as you think you are. Short is as much of a mindset as it is a physical attribute.
Develop your command presence. Talk more loudly. Go to the gym and bulk up. Eat lots of carbs and proteins to get more mass. Be more masculine. More Levis and lesss Lacoste.
The honest truth is, it's all in your head. I don't think of myself as short compared to other people. Girls don't really care because I'm not looking to date them if they are taller anyways. Men don't treat me like I'm short because I could probably lay them out.
I'm glad to hear that a fellow short guy (I'm 5'6'' also) is doing well. The talk loudly part screws me up since I used to be shy, so it took a lot of work to become social and it's taking even more work to be loud and not sound like I'm trying too hard.
I'm just kind of pissed how the tall guy who walks in is automatically the guy who's assumed to be the "leader". It just sucks to see the girls I've been working on focus their attention on him just by merely presenting himself.
the weird thing about all of this is I'm actually in pretty good shape. It might not show muscles-wise, but I do so much cardio because I'm a competitive tennis player, have been for several years, so I can outlast so many of these people in endurance. It's just that it's so hard for me to gain weight, it's always been that way despite me trying. I can tone my muscles, but because I'm skinny, it doesn't show, even though if you look closely, I have no fat, everything's muscle and bone.
You are as tall as you think you are. Tall people usually command more respect because they are just easier to notice. And at 5'6" you're really not THAT short.
Bulk up. Eat a lot. Lots of protein and carbs. Even if you're not as lean and mean, you will have more meat on you. I'm not that toned, but I sure look like I can kick some azz.
When I was really insecure about it, I would remind myself how many short badasses there were on TV. Vic Mackey (5'7") was and is my favorite character on TV

Me! @ Homestead Revival
It's been a busy week here at my own homestead. I finally got my files organized thanks to JOYS (Just Organize Your Stuff)! I'll be talking more about that soon. And Cathy, who developed the system, is graciously offering a give-away! You won't want to miss out so be sure to come back all week!
I finally made my first beef stock this week. Remember, I'm from the "Tang" generation and I never saw my mother do this despite all the meat we hunted and cows we purchased to butcher. I might get around to a post on how I did this, but I suspect some of you could do a better job! All the same, I feel like I've leaped another hurdle and accomplished something worthwhile.
I'll be posting an update on the beehive this week (I hope!). I want to show you my method for elevating it off the ground to prevent ants and other insects from entering the hive.
So, that's been my week and what's coming up. Now for your opportunity to showcase your blog. Just write a post on a homesteading topic, add the Barn Hop button (at the top of this post), link to this post, then come back here and add your information on the Linky below.

IT IS being hailed as one of the most significant advances in nerve regeneration in a decade. After severing an optic nerve in rats, neurologists have found a way to reconnect it to the brain so that it once again transmits normal electrical signals.
The achievement is a first in mammals, and may hint at ways of reversing some types of blindness in people. Scientists also hope to use a version of the technique to treat people with spinal cord injuries.
In many simple creatures, damaged nerves mend themselves. But mammals, with their large brains, have traded this flexibility for stability. With such a complex nervous system, rewiring damaged nerves the wrong way could do more harm than not rewiring at all. So mammals keep a lid on nerve cell growth by producing proteins that inhibit axonsthe part of a nerve cell that conducts signalsgrowing in the scar tissue that ...

Christian College Student's Idea Leads to Rally for Burned Mosque
by Josh Levs
from CNN
When 20-year-old Ashley Carter heard about a mosque burned to the ground in her town this week, she was shocked.
"I was very saddened," she told CNN on Wednesday. "I thought it was very evil."
So Carter, a student at Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri, texted a friend, suggesting they organize an event "promoting acts of love."
But quickly, the idea changed: They would organize a "rally of people coming together, from all walks of life, all religions, a really diverse group of people trying to promote this radical love."
She called Kimberly Kester, spokeswoman for the Islamic Society of Joplin, whose worship house serving about 50 families in the southwest Missouri city burned down Monday. Investigators have not determined the cause, but the mosque has been attacked in the past.
Kester supported the idea. So Carter and some of her friends created the plan for the rally and announced it on a Facebook page. The next day, Tuesday, word began to spread. By Wednesday morning, more than 400 people had posted that they would attend the event, scheduled for Saturday, August 25.
Carter said she was inspired by "my love for Jesus. And I know that Jesus calls us to love people."
Bussy-Saint-Georges, the Town with Built-in Religious Harmony
by Stephanie Le Bars
from The Guardian Weekly
Hugues Rondeau is the Radical party mayor of Bussy-Saint-Georges, a new town in the Paris suburbs. His taste for "ordered urban space" has led to an innovation: the multi-faith district. On a plot of land just beyond the built-up area, he has authorised the construction of several places of worship.
"Here there will be two Buddhist temples, a mosque, a synagogue, a Chinese evangelical church and an Armenian cultural centre," said the mayor, a practising Catholic who is convinced that in a secular state the government should not turn a blind eye to religious fact. "Our 30,000 inhabitants are mostly of foreign origin with 45% from Asia," he said. "We couldn't deprive them of their religious practice."
Religious Communities Rally to Support Missouri Muslims After Mosque Arson
by Roger McKinney
from Joplin Globe
JOPLIN, Mo. — Some local Christians and others who attended an event Saturday at the Islamic Society of Joplin mosque said they are saddened and dismayed about the fire that destroyed the mosque Monday morning.
The Rev. Frank Sierra, of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, called Saturday's gathering "a great event."
"Instead of labeling people, we get to see them as fellow human beings — children of God — and that breaks down a lot of walls," he said.
All were unanimous about their support for members of the Muslim community in their time of hardship and their outrage over the burning of the mosque.
"This is a threat to a group of law-abiding citizens in our midst," said Paul Teverow, with the United Hebrew Congregation, who was at Saturday's gathering and was at the mosque to offer condolences Monday morning. "The people of Joplin should share the same sense of outrage."
He said such incidents are something much deeper when a place of worship is destroyed.
"I just feel a lot sadder," he said.
He said ties between the mosque and synagogue go back many years, and that the connection would continue.
"This strikes very close to us," he said. "They're our extended family."
Jill Michel, pastor of South Joplin Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), echoed the sentiment.
"They're our brothers and sisters," she said. "These are caring and compassionate people who are making a difference in our community. Their grief must be ours. It just has to be. That's what our faith tells us."
Sacred Space: Amal Ali on Islam and the Mosque
Tennessee Mosque Wins Petition To Open
by The Associated Press
from National Public Radio
A federal judge ordered a Tennessee county on Wednesday to move ahead with opening a Muslim congregation's newly built mosque after a two-year fight from opponents.
The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro sued Rutherford County earlier in the day and asked District Judge Todd Campbell for an emergency order to let worshippers into the building before the holy month of Ramadan starts at sundown Thursday.
Federal prosecutors then stepped in with a similar lawsuit.
The future of the mosque had been in question since May, when a local judge overturned the county's approval of the mosque construction. This month he ordered the county not to issue an occupancy permit for the 12,000-square-foot building.
Campbell ordered the county to move ahead on approving the mosque for use, although it wasn't immediately clear if that could happen by Thursday. Final inspection of the building is required.
Nine FAQs About Ramadan
from The Huffington Post
What is the history of Ramadan?
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Arabian calendar. The term Ramadan literally means scorching in Arabic. It was established as a Holy Month for Muslims after the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in 610 CE on the occasion known as Laylat al-Qadr, frequently translated as "the Night of Power.
What is the 'goal' of Ramadan?
In general, the practices of Ramadan are meant to purify oneself from thoughts and deeds which are counter to Islam. By removing material desires, one is able to focus fully on devotion and service to God. Many Muslims go beyond the physical ritual of fasting and attempt to purge themselves of impure thoughts and motivations such as anger, cursing, and greed.
From Steeples to Domes, Architecture Reflects Religious Diversity
from The Daily News Journal
by Scott Broden and Doug Davis
Religious architecture is all about helping believers worship.
Whether it comes to church bell towers, steeples and crosses or mosque minarets and domes, the designs are ways for the congregation to keep the faith. The Daily News Journal recently visited a number of these houses of worship throughout Rutherford County to learn how architecture plays a role in their religion.
Located in rural Christiana, the 12,799-square-foot Hindu Shri Krishna Pranami temple completed in 2009 is, on the surface, a stark contrast to the traditional homes and farms that make up this tight-knit community. But it's that rural quality, that "incredible natural beauty" that made the community an ideal fit for the temple and its followers, according to Vippin Aggarwal, speaking on behalf of Temple President Hasmukhbhai Savalia.
CPWR's "Sharing Sacred Spaces" Program Has Its Finale at the Chicago Downtown Islamic Center
by Sarah Fentem
Mohammed Kaiseruddin, a member of the Downtown Islamic Center Board, is the first to admit there is nothing intrinsically special about the space that houses the Downtown Islamic Center (DIC).
"The DIC spaces are hardly unique", he said. "If anything, the DIC demonstrates that our place is sacred not because of its design but because of its use."
The DIC can only be found if you know where to look. Housed in multiple stories of a former commercial building on State Street downtown, the mosque blends seamlessly into the retail shops around the Jackson Street Red Line stop, its front door easily confused with the entrance of the apparel store adjacent.
The DIC was the final destination for the Council for a Parliament of World Religions' "Sharing Sacred Spaces" project, a series of events that brings together different Chicago-area communities of faith and practice. Since October, one of eight participating faith communities has opened their doors each month to showcase their sacred space and share their beliefs and traditions.
The Downtown Islamic Center served as a fitting capstone for the program, demonstrating Sacred Spaces creator and Chicago architect Suzanne Morgan's affirmation that "spaces become sacred through the meaning they have for the members of their communities." What makes a space holy is not what the building looks like for, as in the case of the Downtown Islamic Center, appearances can be deceiving. Instead what counts is what goes on inside.
Originally established as a space for Muslims working downtown to attend daytime prayers, the building was more of a "home away from home" than a religious center in its own right. In the past 15 years, however, the DIC has grown to become a large and vibrant religious presence downtown, with the weekly Friday prayers (Jumu'ah) attracting hundreds of people.
The youngest of the three Abrahamic religions and the world's second largest religion after Christianity, Islam has 1.5 billion followers, or 1 Muslim for every 5 people worldwide. The defining statement of Islam is "there is none worthy of worship except God, and Muhammad is His messenger." Muslims live lives based on the Qur'an, taken to be the literal words of God revealed to Muhammad, His prophet. Islam is based on the 5 basic acts of faith ("pillars") as the declaration of faith in God, praying five times a day, giving to charity, fasting during the month of Ramadan, and performing pilgrimage in and around the holy city of Mecca at least once during a lifetime.
Visitors to the May 12 event were able to witness afternoon daily prayers. Visitors were ushered into a large, mostly unfurnished space on the 5th floor of the building, which could have easily been mistaken for a conference room or banquet hall at a hotel or university, save for one ornately lit, marble-covered corner on the Northeastern side of the room and diagonal, parallel lines drawn across the carpet.
The marble corner, or mihrab, is a niche that indicates the direction in which Muslims are to pray, or qiblah. No matter where they are in the world, Muslims face towards the Kaa'bah, a sacred stone building at the Great Mosque in Mecca, said to be built by Abraham (in Chicago's case, to the Northeast). Those taking part in prayer at the DIC faced the Mihrab and, guided by the lines in the carpet, lined up neatly touching shoulder to shoulder. Except for the initial call to prayer, the praying was mostly silent.
Before entering the main prayer area on the fifth floor, visitors were asked to either remove their shoes or don fabric booties over their footwear before walking on the carpet. The removal of shoes is customary in mosques as a way to show respect when one stands before God. For the same reason, the DIC has two locker-room like facilities on the fourth floor so worshippers can perform wudu, or ritual cleansing, before praying.
Even for the visitors, the rituals lend a sense of holiness to the space. When forced to pay close attention to normally mundane activities like walking across a carpet, a person is made to become similarly aware of the things one says and does.
The holy feeling permeates the entire space. "The DIC is my spiritual home in Chicago," said Ahmed Nyamuth, a DIC member. "As soon as I cross its threshold….a kind of peace and tranquility descend on me."
While most Americans might think of the Middle East when they think of Islam, Muslims are most numerous in Indonesia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, a statistic reflected in the makeup of the DIC community. As the center has grown though, so has the diversity, making the DIC home to what Chairman Syed Khan calls "A true rainbow of Muslims." The DIC is made of immigrants and Americans of all age groups and walks of life.
Perhaps the most notable aspect of the DIC is that it is run entirely by volunteers. The center is governed by a voluntary board, with administrators and services taken over by members of the community. Knowledgeable Muslims like professors give weekly sermons, and any capable person in attendance is able to lead daily prayers.
The fact that the center is run entirely by volunteers emphasizes the commitment and love its members have for their faith and their community. Said Qudsia Khan, "I feel blessed that such a space is easily and readily available to me," underscoring a "Sacred Spaces" visitor's comment during the tour: "It's the people who gather that make the sacred space."

First Mosque Part of the Heritage of all Canadians
By Daood Hamdani
From Common Ground News Service
Ottawa – This May, as Muslims mark the twentieth anniversary of the induction of Al-Rashid mosque in Fort Edmonton Park, the country's largest living history museum, the spotlight will be on the leadership role of Muslim women in this historic event.
Fifty years after they burst onto the front line to help complete the construction of Canada's first mosque in 1938, Muslim women took over a floundering campaign to save it from demolition. They surprised many by not only preserving this irreplaceable piece of Canadian heritage but enshrining it in the history museum. Al-Rashid, once a bustling hub of community life, started drifting into disrepair after the congregation outgrew it and moved to a new Islamic centre in 1982. Numerous efforts to raise money and find a new location for the old structure failed. Al-Rashid was set for demolition in 1988. Out of options, the Muslim community could only hope for a miracle.
To many, including Canadians of other faiths, the loss of the country's oldest mosque and a Canadian heritage building was unthinkable. Al-Rashid was more than a place of worship. It was also the story of the struggle, adjustment and integration of early Muslim settlers.
While the community braced itself for the inevitable, the Terrific Twelve, a group of twelve women who belonged to a relatively new and untested organisation, the Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW), which was founded in 1982 to speak for Muslim women, defiantly dug in to save the mosque. Led by Lila Fahlman and Razia Jaffer, founder and president of CCMW respectively, these young, highly educated women of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds included second-generation Canadians and new immigrants, working moms, full-time homemakers and single professional women.
Speaking Out Against Mosque Desecration
by Rabbi Gideon D. Sylvester
from Common Ground News Service
Jerusalem – Across the world, people were outraged by the news that mosques in Israel had been desecrated and racist graffiti scrawled across their walls. Israeli Jews felt ashamed. We asked ourselves: do the perpetrators have any understanding of Jewish history and theology, – which clearly teach respect for every human being and the necessity of standing up against injustice wherever we see it?
Growing up in the shadows of the Holocaust, I, a young British Jew, learned about Kristallnacht, the night in 1938 when dozens of German synagogues were attacked. In youth groups we discussed how the demonisation of people and the destruction of their religious buildings were a first step to genocide. We proudly proclaimed, "never again" – never again should this happen to Jews; never again should it happen to any other people.
We understood the Biblical requirement for a sovereign Jewish state to care for everyone, including those who do not share our heritage.
Exploring our relationship to other faiths, we discovered that from medieval times, great rabbis taught their followers that Islam is a monotheistic religion whose adherents must be treated with respect. When the great Jewish philosopher, Maimonides, pondered why God had created so many people whose faith differed from his own, he concluded that although God's will is unfathomable, Islam and Christianity seemed to be part of the divine plan to spread ethical monotheism throughout the world.

Quick someone post a Sean Hannity video about Obama because he's not biased and only gives complete facts just like miss maddow.
I recently watched maddow on the bill Maher show and she tried to hide the fact that she's a liberal hack. She also tried to say that she reports the news and doesn't give her opinion. Clearly she has never seen her own show.

It's taken a couple of weeks but it's finally arrived, the $34 million goal for Cloud Imperium's Star Citizen.
This latest goal unlocks a new ship as voted for by the community, the MISC Hull C (Discreet) which is described as follows.
Scaling from small "box trucks" to massive supertankers, the MISC range of cargo hulls (A-D) are the standard goods transporter in human space. Extremely configurable, MISC Hulls can be adapted for most any type of transport job: from standard bulk shipping on the patrolled spacelanes to armored cargo hauling on the frontier. While these pre-configured hulls are primarily used for legitimate purposes, the MISC Hull Cs have recently become the favorite for criminals who modify the ship with advanced sensor shadow technology, quick-decompress holds and a variety of hidden compartments without modifying the ship's body so it will appear to onlookers as standard everyday transports.
Should they reach $36 million, and let's face it the way things have gone they will, at $36 million the Tamsa System will be added to the game.
Tamsa System – Located near the fringe of Banu space, Tamsa System features a massive central star that has collapsed into a black hole. Evidence suggests that there were at least two more planets in the system when the star collapsed before the ensuing black hole engulfed them. Only two planets remain in the system, a chthonian world and a gas giant located far from the black hole's event horizon. Initial surveys indicate that the two outer planets are slowly being pulled towards the black hole, leaving the two as a risky proposition at best for any sort of colonization.
Funding slowed a little in the past few weeks following the ship voting by the community. It looks like Cloud Imperium are still full of ideas to add more content to the game and utlilise the whopping amount of funds that have been raised so far.
With new locations now the focus of attention, the community are being invited to keep voting for the next possible location through the site.
