A potential and perhaps likely first-round playoff opponent stormed into Chesapeake Energy Arena on Sunday, and before the Dallas Mavericks departed, taking with them a stunning 109-86 victory, they displayed the one thing they still have that could keep the Thunder awake at night in a seven-game series.
OKC Thunder: Thunder struggles mightily when it comes to defending 3-point shots
Pinpoint 3-point shooting.
Dallas drilled 13 of 24 3-pointers against a Thunder defense that took two steps back Sunday. The Mavs rained 3s in transition, off brilliant ball movement, slow contests and by, worst of all, casually walking into them.
Each make stung a little more than the previous one because each one exposed what's become a sizable hole in the Thunder's defense.
Over the last 10 games, the Thunder has allowed 11.5 made 3-pointers on average. Teams are shooting a scorching 44.6 percent on OKC over that same span. Sunday was the fourth time in the past 10 games that the Thunder gave up exactly 13 3-pointers. The Lakers did it twice in five days, and the Clippers also joined the club.
With a sound plan to find the open man via simple ball movement, Dallas took its turn, picking apart the Thunder from the beginning. The Mavs were 7-for-14 from 3-point range at halftime. They then made their first four attempts in the third quarter, the first coming just 57 seconds in. The deep bomb by Dirk Nowitzki forced a disgusted Scott Brooks to call an uncharacteristically early timeout. His team trailed by 14.
Thirty seconds later, Jose Calderon splashed in another 3 for the Mavs.
Five different Mavericks made at least one 3-pointer, with Calderon and Vince Carter leading the way with four apiece. Their team-wide attack allowed them to make up for relatively quiet nights from Nowitzki (17 points on 6-for-12 shooting) and Monta Ellis (nine points on 2-for-7 shooting).
"We wanted to keep the ball hopping," said Nowitzki. "We didn't really want it to stay on the strong side too much. And it helps if you shoot the 3-ball like that. They were switching some. They were showing some in our pick and rolls. That meant the weak side pass was there. And we had a good night from 3."
That sharpshooting also showed why the Mavs, even as the Thunder's best-case scenario for a first-round matchup, could still put up a pretty good postseason fight and prevent a quick four-game exit against the Thunder.

"Three Sisters are better than one"
.......Last August, Taryn Band, owner of the emerging California clothing line Vanitas (Latin for "The Vanities"), made a call to sister-in-law actress Jennifer Sky Band, wife of rocker brother Alex Band. "I need partners!" she exclaimed. After a full year of growing Vanitas from the ground up, the company had come to a point where both financial and creative help were crucial for the survival of this rapidly growing line. Jennifer was immediately interested in sharing this creative and business responsibility and thought that her sister, photographer Katie Wacha, would be the perfect companion partner. Thus Vanitas was reborn with three sisters at its helm.
.......Taryn, with four years experience as a wholesale rep for various denim lines, started Vanitas to fill the void in the over saturated denim market for a great fitting non-denim pant that her clients were craving. Vanitas was born on that concept, and since the sisters collaborated last year, this original concept has expanded it into a full collection focusing on fabulous dresses and amazing fitting pants. The girls saw the need for a chic mid range line that was as wearable as it was fashion forward. "We strive to create feminine, timeless clothing that makes women feel beautiful, sexy, and comfortable -where you can buy a dress or an outfit without breaking the bank", says Taryn. "Our emphasis is on vintage inspired pieces in soft, non-synthetic fibers, that move with you from day to night", says Jennifer. "We are so excited about the dress craze going on right now" says Katie "we definitely have the most fun coming up with new dress ideas - we kind of can't stop!"
.......The sisters do everything hands on from designing, manufacturing, building their website, coordinating photo shoots, even sometimes being their own models. Coming from such different career paths has hugely benefited the girls in running this multi faceted company. Vanitas ships to better boutiques in over forty states as well as Anthropologie stores and catalogs nation wide. "We are still using our original sewers in Downtown Los Angeles for our production. The labor is double what it would be but we do not compromise our quality by going overseas." Not only is the quality amazing, but the girls are proud to support the national economy. The amount of boutique business has increased tremendously in the last year and simultaneously, so has their celebrity support from A- listers such as Mischa Barton, Cameron Diaz, Mandy Moore, Kelly Clarkson, and Kate Walsh. You can find Vanitas at stores nationwide.

Sure, I'm sure all the players out there have had busty barmaidens and the occasional devilishly alluring female sorceress tempt your characters. There are even several monsters in the Monster Manuals and Creature Catalogs designed specifically to lure lonely or horny adventurers in with their potent masculine or feminine wiles.
But occasional dalliances or temptations aside, has there ever been a D&D adventure that's purpose was to titilate and arrouse as much as excite and engage?
I've come across several homebrew rule-sets online that accomadate for sex and sexy encounters/monsters, but the majority of them tend to get bogged down in rules and minutia, proving to be less than exciting when actually played with.
Does the whole process of the D&D experience (stats, dice rolls, damage, powers, etc) prove uncompatiable with a genuinely sexy experience?
I've been running a sexy/fetish-themed adventure online using 4th Ed rules online, and the answers are 'yes and no'.
The adventure is drawing to a close, and the predominantly male-centric player group (six PCs, five of them men, one of them a woman, playing with a female DM) and everyone has told me the adventure has been both fun to play as Dungeons and Dragons, but feels distictively sexy and hot.
The scenario and adventure itself is not much more than cheesecake NPCs and an erotic dungeon delve filled with monsters more concerned with sex than slaying, but so far the number one rule has been 'Fun first, rules second', which seems to be imperitive to running this kind of game.
I may post the finished adventure online (with its added rules for sexy combat, in which Pleasure Points replace Hit Points ^^) when it's completed, but first I'd like some feedback from the community.
Has anyone online here ever run or played a sex-themed D&D game before?
Until then, here's to putting the 'dungeon' back in Dungeons and Dragons *grins*

Update #3: A SNES9X Update for PSP has already been released believe it or not, with the only noticeable change being a few fps increase in speed.
Update #2: SNES9X for PSP has now been released! This is the release you have all been waiting for- confirmed to work! Right now SRAM support isn't working, you have to rename your ROMs to "ROM.SMC to run them, and ensure the folder is called SNES9X. It also is less than half the screen (the top left corner) and runs slow (1040 fps depending on the game), but it has SOUND and like all PSP emulators thus far is for v1.00 firmware only.
Update: After publishing a few more pictures of the emulator, Mr. MIRAKICHI's Web site appears to have been down for the remainder of the day thus far. However, he did manage to post Text Viewer v0.2 on it prior to the site going down for those interested.
Today the photo to your left was published by Mr. MIRAKICHI, the same guy who released the GameBoy Color Emulator for the PSP earlier this week. We are awaiting additional details and (hopefully) a binary release soon, however, based on the information available it appears to be a port of SNES9X to the PSP running at moderate speed, but no details as of yet if sound is implemented or not. More to come soon on this cool news!

The Ubuntu Edge crowd-funding campaign has started with record smashing numbers, but the tempo of the pledges has subsided and the projections are not all that favorable.
Canonical has started the campaign with great enthusiasm and some great offers and it has managed to get past the $7 million (€5,27 million) mark with relative ease.
The company has also introduced a number of new pledges that have provided some incentives for potential buyers, and which have given the project a much-needed boost.
In order to stay above the curve, Canonical needs to gather a lot more money than it's doing right now. An Ubuntu Edge fan has made a very useful website, ubuntu-edge.info, that shows whether the phone is on track and what its chances are.
Ubuntu Edge is a phone developed by Canonical that is currently the object of a record crowd-funding project. More details about this great device can be found in our original report on the matter.

Nanostructured Materials Characterization on a Microfluidic Chip

Miniaturizing technology onto a microfluidic device offers many advantages such as integration of normally discrete synthetic and characterization strategies. This work has introduced dynamic light scattering onto a microfluidic chip via fiber optic probes. Limitations endemic to microfluidic chips, such as limited solvent resistance and lack of temperature uniformity were overcome by engineering the devices from metal. The miniaturized devices were used to make high throughput measurements and identify critical micelle temperatures, and performed as well as large traditional instruments. Further work on integrating this tool with other synthetic and characterization methods are also described.

The Select Foam 15" Grandis HD™ is the ultimate in pressure relieving luxury. A Medium-Soft mattress made with Gel-infused SELECT-HD Foam for extra pressure relief and a cooler night's sleep, the Grandis HD™ is our flagship bed. Featured on the AOL® luxury product review property Luxist.com, the Grandis HD™ is for the person looking for absolute best in luxury, comfort, and appearance.
The Select Foam Grandis-HD has enough memory foam for even the heaviest of people, people with chronic pain, and those suffering from injuries or are bed-ridden. Side sleepers require extra memory foam due to the pressure they put on their shoulders and hips, and because of the curves of their body.
In addition to the memory foam quilted into the Cashmere cover, there is a 2 inch layer of SELECT-HD™ 7.2lb Gel-infused memory foam. It has 60 percent more memory cells per square inch than other leading memory foams, which results in unparalleled support and pressure relief. SELECT-HD™ foam has been lab tested to be more durable and retain its firmness better than other premium memory foams. At the same time, it has a nice medium-soft feeling. SELECT-HD™ 7.2lb memory foam has also been specifically designed to be the most breathable foam on the market today.
The Grandis HD™ has a support layer of 5.3 lb Gel-infused memory foam below the SELECT-HD™ 7.2lb comfort layer. The two layers work in conjunction to provide the highest possible level of comfort to help you rest better. The support layer is 3 inches thick, and sits above the Airflow Chamber. The Airflow Chamber also helps keep the mattress cool by dissipating the heat that flows through the memory foam layers. The Airflow Chamber sits above the thick Orthopedic Base Foam Layer, made out of a firm, dense soy-blend foam that provides a strong base for the overlying memory foam layers.
The Grandis HD™ has a high-performance, cool sleeping super-stretch double knit Cover with Microsuede borders. The whole point of this cover was to get the maximum performance out of the memory foam; this means being able to stretch where the body contours the most, especially for you side sleepers. It is zippered and removable, for easy cleaning. Its silky soft feeling will make sleeping on this mattress even more addicting. Even with a sheet between you and the cover, there is still a night and day difference between the texture of The Grandis HD™ and a traditional quilted mattress.
The Grandis HD™ is hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant. The average mattress doubles in weight over the course of ten years due to dust mites and dead skin cells that accumulate inside the mattress. Fortunately, there is a way to avoid becoming part of this disgusting statistic. Dust mites cannot live in a memory foam mattress. As an added level of protection, The Grandis HD™ has an inner cover that blocks dust mites, bed bugs, and dust particles from entering your mattress. In addition, the cover is also fire safe, using Select Foam's FireBlocker technology, keeping you and your loved ones safe.
The Select Foam 15" Grandis HD™ comes with a Lifetime Warranty. We stand behind our product with the industry's best warranty. Any indentation in the foam greater than ¾" and we'll replace the mattress at our cost.
You have 100 Nights to try our mattresses, mattress sets, and adjustable beds in your home. If you are unsatisfied with your Grandis HD™ gel memory foam mattress, we will pick it up at our cost, refunding your complete purchase price. This is the advantage of Free Shipping both ways; only from Select Foam.
Compare the The Select Foam 15" Grandis HD™ to the TEMPUR GrandBed, and you'll experience the same pressure relieving experience and impeccable styling, for far less the price tag. Not everything's the same though: Select Foam used a Gel-infused memory foam in their beds to ensure that you stay cool and comfortable at night. Gel Foam has the same benefits of memory foam, but sleeps up to 3X cooler. Select Foam has successfully combined the innovations of the Serta iComfort and Tempur-Pedic into one amazing mattress collection. Same Look, Same Feel, Cooler Sleeping, and 50% Off.

Select Foam™ makes finding the right bed for you easy by producing a line of American-made memory foam mattresses that are comparable to Tempur-Pedic®, the leading national brand. Our models are almost indistinguishable in terms of overall feel, density, firmness, and the thicknesses of the layers. The main difference is our memory foam beds are about half the cost, and sleep cooler due to our gel-infused soy memory foam. So try out the Tempur-Pedic® brand in a store near you, and then compare apples-to-apples with the right Select Foam™ model.
1. Only Gel-Eased Soy Blend Memory Foam on the planet | 2. Fully Customizable with features the others dream of. | 3. 0% financing and 90-night trial
At Select Foam™, we take great pride in matching the right person with the right bed to help them get a better night's sleep, and ultimately provide for a healthier well-being.

FSF Sues Cisco for GPL Violations
The Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) has filed a lawsuit for the Free Software Foundation (FSF) against network giant Cisco Systems.
The claim: Cisco is distributing a number of GPL-licensed products under the Linksys brand without providing its source code to users. Some of the products are also licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
Among the licensed programs are GNU C Library, GNU Coreutils, GNU Readine, GNU Parted, GNU Wget, GNU Compiler Collection, GNU Binutils and the GNU Debugger.
The Boston-based SFLC filed the action in New York district court. A copy of the entire complaint, including full text of the 1999 GPL and LGPL, is in PDF. The FSF is seeking an injunction against, and payment of damages from, the California company.
The lawsuit is a first for the FSF, says its executive director Peter Brown. "In the fifteen years we've spent enforcing our licenses, we've never gone to court before." An announcement from the foundation provides further details about the FSF vs. Cisco case.

Florence Earle Coates
From Wikiquote
Florence Earle Coates (1 July 1850 – 6 April 1927)—American poet born in Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania poet laureate who gained notoriety both at home and abroad for her works of poetry—nearly three-hundred of which were published in literary magazines of her day such as the Atlantic Monthly, Scribner's, The Literary Digest, Lippincott's, The Century Magazine, and Harper's.
- A democrat by conviction rather than by temperament, urging democracy as 'the only method consistent with human instinct toward expansion,' he was yet an educator, and believed in equality upon a high, not upon a low plane. Like Ruskin, he demanded of men their best, and with less than their best refused to be satisfied.
- Mrs. Coates on Matthew Arnold—Literary and social critic who both encouraged and inspired Mrs. Coates' writing, and was a guest on several occasions at the Coates' Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania home during his stays in Philadelphia (31 March 1894). From The Critic (31 March 1894).
- The question of perpetual copyright is, in my judgement, entitled to the full and favorable consideration of the Congress of an enlightened republic. There would seem to be every reason for the equitable protection, without limit as to time, of the unquestioned property rights of its citizens.
- Mrs. Coates on perpetual copyright. From The Literary World, 28 Oct 1899.
- They live indeed—the dead by whose example we are upward led.
- Taken from the inscription on Mrs. Coates' headstone which is excerpted from a memorial poem she wrote for Eliza Sproat Turner, who died on 20 June 1903. "In Memory: Eliza Sproat Turner" from Mine and Thine (1904).
- She was a great woman with the heart of a little child. Her works praise her; the millions of God's creatures whom she has saved from suffering sing her praise. Where she has gone the recognition of this world counts for little. She has gone where the merciful are blessed, where the pure in heart see God.
- Mrs. Coates on her Aunt (ca. September 1916), Mrs. Caroline Earle White—President and founder of The Women's Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the American Anti-Vivisection Society. Caroline Earle White biography on the American Anti-Vivisection Society website
- Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Volume 33 (1922)
- The business of art is to enlarge and correct the heart and to lift our ideals out of the ugly and the mean through love of the ideal...The business of art is to appeal to the soul.
- The New York Times (10 December 1916) From "Godlessness Mars Most Contemporary Poetry."
- Maeterlinck says that compared with ordinary truths mystic truths have strange privileges—they can neither age nor die. Beauty is eternal and ugliness, thank God, is ephemeral. Can there be any question as to which should attract the poet?
- The New York Times (10 December 1916) From "Godlessness Mars Most Contemporary Poetry."
- A man's wisdom is measured by his hope.
- Florence Earle Coates to Amos N. Wilder, probably sometime around 1924. From p. 10 of Religion in Life Vol. 21 (1951); an article written by Amos N. Wilder (brother of Thornton Wilder).
Quotes about Florence Earle Coates[edit]
- I am told [Mrs. Coates] bears me in mind and is of a disposition to look with something of favor on my work—which I might say, quoting one of William's playful quips, 'shows her good sense.' They tell me Mrs. Coates is quite a woman among women—is beautiful, shines with great brightness, and, by those who know her well, is admired and cherished...(93) I don't know Mr. Coates but I know the wife—a beautiful, true woman, I have always believed her. We have had several talks together—or maybe only one talk: I am not clear about that now—but I shall always remember what she said—the effect of her talk, which was mainly about Matthew Arnold, who was her guest in Germantown. Arnold is a man for whom I never seem to be able to get up any stir—with whom I never have had and never could have a thorough-going affinity. But Mrs. Coates gave me the other side of him—the social side, the personal side, the intellectual side—the side of deportment, behavior—the side which I ought perhaps most to hear about and did willingly and gladly hear of from her. For every man has that better thing to be said of him—is entitled to all it may mean, signify, explain...(112) Yes, tell the Coates people—Mrs., Mr. Coates—to come over: I will see them...(156) I saw [Mr. and Mrs. Coates]—was glad to see them: both of them are so good, cordial, sincere—she particularly. It does my old eyes good to look at such a woman...(215) The letter [Mrs. Coates had sent to me] that came with [the poem, "The Promised Land"] was very hospitable, forth-giving: I liked it: indeed, the letter was a better poem than the poem: a real poem, in fact...(396)
- Walt Whitman, as told to Horace Traubel in With Walt Whitman in Camden: July 16, 1888-October 31, 1888 [numbers above refer to pages].
- Mrs. Coates is the very incarnation of contradiction. The action of her life is cast along the lines of conventional routine; but the hidden and real existence of the woman is carried on miles beyond and above all the material concerns, in the pure ether of the poet's realm. She will shut herself up with the "wide-eyed muse" to round a sonnet of majestic reach, or she will merge into the gay world, the laces of a dutchess about her, precious stones at her throat and glowing roses on her breast, there to dazzle all listeners to her conversation, in which bon mot, persiflage, eloquence and philosophy are interwoven. She is a "fine lady," and yet her poetry is never tainted by "fine ladyism." She is a bluestocking, but with none of the unlovely signs of bluestockingism about her. Another woman with Mrs. Coates' voice, mobile face, and evident histrionic instinct would have dashed away from the conventional life and sought vent for the "tempest within" in the mimic world of the stage, but Mrs. Coates is mistress of a perfectly ordered home.
- Marianna F. McCann, from The Philadelphia Inquirer, 13 May 1894: her first impression upon meeting Mrs. Coates some years earlier at a reception in honor of French author Madamme Henry Gréville.
- As generous as a woman and as inspiring as a poet as she is discriminating in hero worship, this appreciation of "the noblest man that ever lived in the tides of time" is dedicated by her friend, THE AUTHOR.
- Dr. Matthew Woods—from his book, In Spite of Epilepsy (1913)—which he dedicated to Mrs. Coates. Dedication page of Matthew Woods' In Spite of Epilepsy (1913) on Google Books. (Quote is from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.)

Now that it's August, I've begun to see back to school commercials. When I was in school this bothered me, because the thought of going back to classes, having homework and a schedule when I was so free over the summer was daunting. But now, school's out forever! Although I'm no longer phased by these ads, I can definitely sympathize for those that are. One thing I always looked forward to at the end of Summer was buying school supplies, with a new backpack being my favorite purchase.
For today's gallery, I thought I would offer up some really interesting and unique takes on the traditional school backpack. If I were going back to school, I think I would definitely want the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle style backpack.

Minion Master is a genre-busting game that combines elements of tabletop games, real-time and turn based strategy games, and collectible card games. The game brings together the moment-to-moment tactics of collectible card games with the long-term strategy of miniature war gaming. Players battle with armies of figurines on a hex-based board. Minions are summoned and controlled using a custom built deck of cards. Minion Master boasts 6 player versus multiplayer (with co-op on the way), a Deck Builder, Level Editor, and a constantly expanding universe of Minions to control. Inspired by physical RPG board and card games while simultaneously adding in elements that are only possible in a virtual world, Minion Master is available for pre-order on PC.

It's a mix of chnage in focus, change in community etc. Reasons are peppered all through the thread...
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.
all right i read all the posts in this thread and i came up with this....
From what i see all most the people that came from LJR were the ones upset about the merger because peter (the new owner of the board) made changes with out asking the community first.
I think that is the big problem here, we are still trying to get back the magic that was LNO and LJR. THEY were truly communities and the mods and admins actually cared what the memebers had to say about what was going on in the forums and actually took the advice and ran with it. Thoses boards were not without thier drama but that is what made them so good.
I'll admit it if noone else wants to, towards the end of LJR there was very little posting going on there and a change needed to be made, but a change to this i dont think was the greatest idea for cloverm, but then again we didnt own LJR, but he still should have hinted to it.
I dont think starting a new board is the answer, there is alot of good info and alot of hard work on this board that will be lost if we go elsewhere.
I agree with everyone that the name IT discussion forums SHOULD be changed to something that more accurately describes what goes on here.
I said it before and i'll say it again i'll go where my brothers and sister ( cybergal...) go but i truly believe that if peter whats to run a successful board he needs to start asking the opinion of SOME of the senior members of the COMMUNITY before he goes and does such a drastic thing because weather he owns the board or not WE the MEMBERS can make it a success or let it just fall off the internet.
Peter - here is 2 more cents - i personally think it was foolish to bring MS on to a board called openfree and expect it to go over with out a fight. 99% of us are here because we dont want anything to do with MS and to be violated like that is just uncalled for!
see ya!!
I think starting a new forum is a good idea if not because Peter has not even commented on the option of undoing this merger so despite promises of being a community it honestly feels more like a dictatorship. That's just his leadership style and some of us don't agree with that, rather than wreck community we can go do our own.
But yes we do need to inspire to action, that is a driving focus - I personally will be doing what I can to steer whatever comes out of this towards creativity and content creation.
I have admitted to acting hastily on the merger. I still believe we have not given it enough time. I have taken Lovechild's suggestions for RFCs and created a proposal to reduce the risk of unilateral changes to which the membership is opposed. I believe his is a good suggestion, and would welcome your comments on it.
A community needs some structure to channel everyone's voices in a constructive manner. This should be viewed as an opportunity to achieve better consensus through the involvement of the entire membership.
The failure in communication was partly due to a lack of understanding of some of your motivating factors. The RFC methodology should make the running of any forum, no matter its size, more participatory and functional for all members, junior or senior, by both clarifying their viewpoints and providing an objective measurement tool for them.
My sites: Linux Home Networking - Linux Quick Fix Notebook
Though I think that developing established process is a good step in the right direction, I believe you need to define the focus of the forum.
Is openfree now officially an IT discussion forum? Is it Open-Source IT? If not, what role does Open and Free has on the forum?. Is it time for a name change to represent the new focus?
If it is an general IT forum, will the focus stay on IT, or will it become something else if the opportunity arises?
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.

MONTREAL – Plans by Quebec's minister of agriculture to tighten up regulations for the production of halal and kosher meat have angered the religious minorities in the east-central Canada district, seeing them as unnecessary.
"For the past 15 centuries, the standards for the animals' welfare have already been established," Mohamed Ghalem, Quebec's Halal Meat Association spokesman, was reported by Montreal radio station CJAD.
"I think this misunderstanding is related to Islamophobia."
Quebec Muslims and Jews have expressed concerns over the past week after Quebec's agricultural minister announced his plans to tighten regulations for kosher and halal meat production.
"We want the slaughter to happen in the most complete conditions of hygiene and cleanliness," Francois Gendron said in comments reported last week.
Gendron said he would announce a plan for new regulations this fall.
The minister's spokeswoman confirmed that the ministry is still working on the new regulation, but she doesn't reveal when it will be released.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is responsible for overseeing livestock slaughter regulations across the nation.
Therefore, the province could only impose regulations on smaller slaughterhouses that do not export outside of the province.
Along with Muslims, the new procedure has angered Quebec's Jews, arguing that new regulations for kosher meat production were 'unnecessary'.
"The CFIA has one of the highest standards of food processing," Dovid Russ, COO of the major Canadian kosher meat operation Mehadrin, told JTA on Wednesday, October 30.
"Quebec is trying to get more involved for absolutely no reason whatsoever."
The concept of halal, -- meaning permissible in Arabic -- has traditionally been applied to food.
Muslims should only eat meat from livestock slaughtered by a sharp knife from their necks, and the name of Allah, the Arabic word for God, must be mentioned.
Muslim scholars agree that Shari`ah provides a divine law of mercy that should be applied on all Allah's creations, including animals.
Islam also provides details about avoiding any unnecessary pain.
Amid growing controversy, halal food was growing into a flourishing business in Quebec district.
"Halal slaughter is on the rise and it is to the good fortune of Quebec and Canadian businesses," Ghalem, Quebec's Halal Meat Association spokesman, said.
"I've seen slaughterhouses that were on the brink of bankruptcy and did not close thanks to this niche market."
Quebec controls between 20-25 slaughterhouses and at least five of them produce Halal meat, the Agriculture ministry said.
Recently, Quebec has been the home of religious debates since the proposal of the controversial Parti Québécois charter which claims protecting state secularism by prohibiting public-sector workers from wearing religious symbols in workplaces such as schools, hospitals and daycares.
The ban would affect everyone from government workers and doctors to teachers and daycare workers.
Muslims make around 2.8 percent of Canada's 32.8 million population, and Islam is the number one non-Christian faith in the north American country.
A survey has showed the overwhelming majority of Muslims are proud to be Canadian.
In a recent poll, most for the Quebeckers were found not concerned about religious accommodations.
Though it has the second largest Muslim population in Canada, the east-central province of Quebec is one of the most Islamophobic provinces in the country, where Muslims are facing different kinds of discrimination and racism.

In response to BabeParilli's comment:
In response to RockScully's comment:
Nothing personal, but I want to see this team win a SB again, not waste chance after chance after chance due to Brady wanting to easily throw to a jackrabbit slot WR for 4 yards and hope that 1st read somehow works all game long to a SB win.
If your greatest GM in the history of the world could cobble together a running game that met the league average or a defense that could do the same then we might just win a SB meathead.
the defense ranked in the top 10 in ppg allowed and the running game scored the most td's out of any team in the league, thats better than average.
when a team that relies on winning the turnover battle to win games during the regular season, goes -3 in the turnover category, they are most likely going to lose. the defense certainly could have forced a turnover or two, but for the most part they were giving the offense the ball back in decent to very good field position. there was one drive where the pats started on their own 45, only went 7 yards, and then punted.....talk about pathetic.
Just spare the world the mindnumbing homer spin.
What the hell does scoring the most running TDs have to do with anything when you can't even meet the league average per carry? And they were 1.2 ppg away from being 16th on D with scoring, while also being 29th in passing yards.
You want pathetic? Flacco, 106 PR in AFCCG. There's your pathetic.
Time for a few of you jabronis to face reality. Learn the game Rusty Clone.
Babe using this phrase (above bold italics) is as ironic as anything ever posted on this board, EVER.

How to Make Virtual Teams Work Successfully
- by Kunal Sen, PMP In the modern-day reality of global corporations, outsourcing, and a vehement emphasis on productivity, virtual teams (also known as "geographically dispersed teams") are commonplace; even small companies have embraced virtual teams as a result of their outsourcing operations to other companies.

The Impact of Sleep Disturbances in ADHDJune 10, 2013
Sleep impairment is a common symptom of attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) as reported by children with ADHD and their parents. Children with ADHD often take a long time to fall asleep and have difficulty waking up in the morning. Although parental reports of sleep impairments are higher than laboratory results on children with ADHD, there still remains a significant difference between sleep patterns of children with and without ADHD. But how do these impairments affect memory and emotional reactivity?
To find out, and to assess how these emotional and memory processes relate to daytime behavior, Alexander Prehn-Kristensen of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Center for Integrative Psychiatry at the Christian-Albrechts University Kiel in Germany recently led a study involving 16 children with ADHD, 16 children without, and 20 adults without ADHD. He chose to include adults to gauge the effect of sleep on memory and emotional processing and how it differed between children and adults.
Prehn-Kristensen found that the non-ADHD children had a higher level of emotional memory bias than the adults or the ADHD children. This bias was sleep-dependent and Prehn-Kristensen noticed that the adults had lower levels of neurological activity related to sleep-dependent memory consolidation. This suggests that in non-ADHD individuals, emotional memory consolidation undergoes a normal decline from childhood to adulthood. However, in the ADHD children, the sleep quality affects emotional memory consolidation and leads to emotional disturbances during waking hours.
Overall, the children with ADHD had lower levels of sleep-dependent emotional bias and had more extreme emotional reactions to neutral images than the non-ADHD participants. Additionally, the emotionally stimulating pictures elicited a stronger emotional reaction in the ADHD participants than in the non-ADHD participants.
Prehn-Kristensen said, "Due to a lack of reorganization of emotional content in children with ADHD, one can assume that emotional problems during the daytime are amplified by dysfunctional sleep." However, he added that although this study illuminates a new association between sleep and emotional arousal, the exact mechanisms responsible for the brain processes within that association need further examination.
Prehn-Kristensen, A., Munz, M., Molzow, I., Wilhelm, I., Wiesner, C.D., et al. (2013). Sleep promotes consolidation of emotional memory in healthy children but not in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. PLoS ONE 8(5): e65098. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0065098

I'm a little confused here..do the stronger emotional reactions result in sleep disturbances or is it the other way around..? Because for me emotional reaction and state does have a bug effect on quality of sleep..
ezraJune 11th, 2013 at 4:16 AM
And to expound a little further, has there been anyone that said fix the sleep patterns and much of the issue with ADHD resolves itself as well?>

Matheson not sweating over absentee, provisional votes
Published November 14, 2012 3:14 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
A bunch of Republicans, including Mia Love, are holding out hope that thousands of absentee and provisional ballots in the 4th District may erase Rep. Jim Matheson's narrow lead.
Matheson thinks they are dreaming.
"I'm not concerned," he told The Salt Lake Tribune on Wednesday about his 2,646 lead with roughly 28,700 ballots left to count. "It's going to hold. It's going to be fine. It's going to come in pretty much like the regular votes did."
Those ballots are among the 72,000 left to be counted in Salt Lake, Utah, Juab and Sanpete counties. The official tally will take place on Nov. 20.

PRICE - Our precious angel, Glen A. Lemmon, age 32, walked away from this world July 24, 2006.
He was born Dec. 4, 1973 in Price to Pat and Ginger Lemmon. From his birth Glen traveled a difficult path.
No matter the obstacle he pushed on. Inspiring everyone who knew him; with his remarkable strength, unrelenting courage, and unconditional love. Rarely do we find an individual that can change you for a lifetime simply by their presence.
Glen was blessed to have the very best aunts, uncles and cousins. They were all so good to him. But most of all Glen's Grandpa Merrill and Grandma Betty were the best grandparents anyone could ever hope for. They took him on many, many camping trips so Glen could do his most favorite thing and that was fishing! Fishing is only one of the many things they did with Glen.
Glen had many special friends he loved to spend time at the Apple House. Glen was blessed to have the very best aids while attending Castle Valley Center. Lorene Miller who we considered her more of a second mother then just his aid. Glen loved his aides Cori Swasey, Amber Christenson, Candy Jaramillo and Michael Wood. Nicole Staker was a lifelong friend that he also loved. Jenna Davis was Glen's girlfriend. They made the cutest couple and loved going to the prom with each other.
Glen is survived by parents, Pat and Ginger Lemmon; brothers, T.J. Lemmon, Salt Lake City; Brett Lemmon, Price; grandparents, Merrill and Betty Jones of Price; and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.

It is funny how we end up going full circle in life....I started with an OM-1 and "advanced" to an EOS system with auto-focus zoom lenses. Since then I've learned to love TLRs and 4x5 cameras for their simplicity and control. I've come to realize that, for me, 35mm is about low light, small and portable. This means fixed focal length lenses, no auto-focus and manual winding. Modern autofocus cameras miss the mark. There are quite a few that fit this description, but I'd really like one with spot metering. I use a spot meter with the LF and very rarely miss an exposure. This is not so true with my Canon with matrix or center weighted metering.
My only thought is a later OM body, but I suspect there are other possibilities. Any suggestions?

Comparing objects that might be arrays
I was using this Java idiom today, not for the first time, and thought I'd blog it for people not aware of it. You probably know that if you compare two objects x and y using
x.equals(y), the result will be false if they are distinct arrays, even if their contents are the same. There is an easy way to get the right result for arrays. It is
Arrays.deepEquals(new Object[] {x}, new Object[] {y}). This works if x and y are plain objects, or null, or primitive arrays, or reference arrays. The only case where you might like it to work but it doesn't is for collections containing arrays, for example
Of course the idiom is a bit clunky and it's worth considering whether a new method
Something.deepEquals(Object x, Object y) might not be a useful addition. But where might it go?

Stenson after first home title in Malmo
BY Bruce Young | European PGA Tour | 2014 Nordea Masters | Preview | 27 May 2014
The European Tour is in Sweden this week for the Nordea Masters in Malmo in southern Sweden where the newly elevated world number two Henrik Stenson is the favourite.
The Kyle Phillips layout at the PGA Sweden National is being used for the first time this year, the tournament moving away from the home for the last four years, the Bro Hof Slott Golf Club.
Stenson finished a very solid 7th last week at Wentworth and after a slow start to the season appears to be getting back to some of the great form we saw from him late in 2013.
Like all in this field he has no tournament experience on this layout but he is the class player in the field and will be hard to beat.
"I've not played in this tournament for a few years so it is good fun. I'm seeing a lot of people who I haven't seen for a while, said Stenson on Wednesday. "That's always great to catch up with them and I am really feeling the support. It's going to be fun to start playing. There are going to be a lot of people coming to watch.
"It would be great to win this week. I came very close in 2005 when I lost in a play-off when Mark Hensby drained a 30ft putt on the last to force a play-off and won on the second play-off hole. At that point it was very hard to take and it took a week or two for me to get over that. It would be nice to get revenge after being so close. We'll try."
Thomas Bjorn led by five heading into the last round at Wentworth last week and provided he can recover from the scar tissue then he must be a chance. Bjorn was 4th in this event last year although that was at another venue.
Miguel Angel Jimenez has been phenomenal of late, finishing 4th at Augusta National, winning on debut on the Champions Tour, wining the Spanish Open and then finishing midfield against a very strong field last week.
Francesco Molinari has recorded four top tens in his last seven starts worldwide, most against stronger fields than he will face last week. The Italian has missed the cut in each of his last two starts in this event but at a new venue the slate is wiped clean.
Jonas Blixt is a winner on the PGA Tour and d this year produced an extraordinary performance when runner-up at the Masters. On that performance alone he deserves a lot of respect. He was 16th last week against a much stronger field and gets the chance to play at home for the first time since finishing runner-up to Mikko Ilonen last year.
Four Australians will play the event. The much improved Richard Green, Wade Ormsby, who narrowly missed a US Open start at qualifying on Monday, Brett Rumford and former winner of this event Mark Hensby.
