The Good Muslimby Tahmima Anam
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From prizewinning Bangladeshi novelist Tahmima Anam comes her deeply moving second novel about the rise of Islamic radicalism in Bangladesh, seen through the intimate lens of a family.
Pankaj Mishra praised A Golden Age, Tahmima Anam's debut novel, as a "startlingly accomplished and gripping novel that describes not only the tumult of a great historical event . . . but also the small but heroic struggles of individuals living in the shadow of revolution and war." In her new novel, The Good Muslim, Anam again deftly weaves the personal and the political, evoking with great skill and urgency the lasting ravages of war and the competing loyalties of love and belief.
In the dying days of a brutal civil war, Sohail Haque stumbles upon an abandoned building. Inside he finds a young woman whose story will haunt him for a lifetime to come. . . . Almost a decade later, Sohail's sister, Maya, returns home after a long absence to find her beloved brother transformed. While Maya has stuck to her revolutionary ideals, Sohail has shunned his old life to become a charismatic religious leader. And when Sohail decides to send his son to a madrasa, the conflict between brother and sister comes to a devastating climax. Set in Bangladesh at a time when religious fundamentalism is on the rise, The Good Muslim is an epic story about faith, family, and the long shadow of war.
"Repercussions from the Bangladeshi war of independence ricochet through the Haque family in this gripping and beautifully written sophomore novel from Anam (A Golden Age). On his way back to Dhaka after the war in 1971, Sohail Haque stops at a barracks recently occupied by the retreating army, where he opens a door onto a horrible scene. When he arrives home transformed, his mother, Rehana, is alarmed by the change in her once carefree son and begins reading to him from the Koran. Maya, his sister, struggles to understand her brother's trauma, even as her work performing abortions for the Bangladeshi women who were raped by soldiers shows her another aspect of the war's aftermath. Sohail becomes an increasingly devout Muslim, while Maya starts a clinic in a distant village where, after delivering an imperfect baby, she is driven away. She returns to find that her brother's son, Zaid, is unkempt and poorly educated, old friends have grown affluent and complacent, and her mother has ovarian cancer. Maya begins writing increasingly inflammatory political articles and attempting to educate her nephew while her mother's health worsens and her brother withdraws further into his religion. From historical, political, and social tragedy, Anam has fashioned a mesmerizing story capturing a culture and a time, while showing that despite the worst, people go on to live their lives. (Aug.)"

"Delicate, heart-wrenching and poetic, this is a novel ofgreat poise and power." —Tash Aw, author of The Harmony Silk Factory
Set in Bangladesh at a time when Islamic fundamentalism ison the rise, The Good Muslim is an epic story about faith, familyand the long shadow of war. Tahmima Anam, the prize-winning author of A Golden Age, offers a moving portrait of a sister and brother whostruggle with the competing loyalties of love and belief as they cope with thelasting ravages of war and confront the deeply intimate roots of religiousextremism. Echoingthe intensity and humanity of Thrity Umrigars The SpaceBetween Us, Abraham Vergheses Cutting for Stone, and Kiran Desais TheInheritance of Loss,Anams "accomplished and gripping novel," in thewords of author Pankaj Mishra, "describes not only the tumult of a greathistorical event, but also the small but heroic struggles of individuals livingin the shadow of revolution and war."
About the Author
TAHMIMA ANAM was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 1975. She attended Mount Holyoke College and received a Ph.D. in social anthropology from Harvard University. The Good Muslim is the second novel, following A Golden Age (the winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best First Book), in her Bengal Trilogy. She lives in London, England.

You've most likely seen vitiligo before; it manifests itself as light or white splotches of skin. It's one of those conditions that many people recognize when they see it, but few people know the technical term for the disorder, and even fewer understand why it occurs and the process behind its development. Undoubtedly, much of the stigma attached to vitiligo stems from an ignorance on the part of the general population. "Vitiligo can be a very socially stigmatizing disease, especially in patients with naturally darker skin types," relates Seemal R. Desai, MD, FAAD, dermatologist in private practice at the Center for Skin & Cosmetic Dermatology in Dallas and diplomate for the American Board of Dermatology. "In some cultures, patients with vitiligo are ostracized from society, even though vitiligo isn't a contagious disease." As a nail technician, you may come across this skin condition, and knowing more about it can greatly improve your services for these clients and put them at ease.
Vitiligo 101
Vitiligo 101
Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder that is easily noticed because it affects levels of pigment in the skin. "Vitiligo is becoming an increasingly common skin disorder, and is characterized by the body's immune system attacking melanocytes, or pigment-producing cells," says Desai. The attack on healthy pigment-producing cells leads to patches of skin that lack color, meaning affected areas turn completely white. "It often starts in childhood, and is usually associated with other autoimmune diseases, including lupus, hair loss/alopecia, thyroid dysfunction and more," Desai explains.
Once the symptoms of the condition start to materialize, it's a painless process to determine the condition. A dermatologist can easily diagnose vitiligo with a simple clinical examination, which requires no biopsy, explains Robert T. Brodell, professor of internal medicine, dermatology, at Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine in Rootstown, Ohio. Once vitiligo is diagnosed, there are several methods of treatment available depending on the severity of the case or the client's preference. "The first level of treatment involves applying sunscreen so the adjacent skin doesn't tan and highlight the problem, as well as using cover-up cosmetics," Brodell says. "The second level of treatment is administration of the drug Psoralyn in combination with UVA light treatment (known as PUVA therapy) to try to stimulate pigmentation, or a UVB laser to try to induce more pigment to develop in these spots. The third level is depigmentation therapy, where the normal skin is bleached to match the skin affected by vitiligo."
According to the National Vitiligo Foundation (NVF), patients who undergo the second level of treatment (called repigmentation therapy) can expect to gain back pigment on only about one-eighth to one-quarter inch of skin during each year of treatment. However, the decision to undergo depigmentation therapy (the third line of treatment) is a serious one, since it permanently removes pigment from all skin on the body. Unfortunately, no single cure exists for vitiligo.
A Few Simple Steps
Nail technicians are especially prone to seeing vitiligo in the salon, since "this disorder, in its generalized form, often affects the skin color on the hands, especially the fingers," relates Nanette Silverberg, MD, director of pediatric and adolescent dermatology at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York. You'll notice that clients who have had vitiligo for years are likely already aware of the ways in which they can make it less noticeable. Many use self-tanners or other skin-blending makeup to disguise the patches of unpigmented skin.
Before performing services, you should ask if the client is allergic to any substances; Desai notes that irritants may cause skin injury and should be avoided. Silverberg agrees that nail techs should avoid harsh chemicals and practice gentle skin care when working on clients who have vitiligo. For example, during the massage portion of services, use lighter pressure. As always, when in doubt, your client can ask her dermatologist if certain procedures are safe.
For clients with vitiligo, it is to your benefit to be very cautious when grooming cuticles. For their safety, do not cut any skin and gently push back cuticles. "Trauma, such as overmanipulating the cuticles or accidentally causing cuts, can worsen the disease," says Silverberg. While you're used to keeping your implements clean and sterilized, that's not enough for clients with vitiligo. Even a perfectly sterilized implement can have a negative effect, so it's more important than ever to keep your focus!
Another important precaution clients with this disorder should take is to avoid sun exposure. "In general, patients with vitiligo should avoid excessive sun exposure that would cause their skin to burn, and thereby injure the delicate healthy skin and the areas of depigmentation," advises Desai. "Skin damage can cause a tendency toward progression of the disease process." One way you can assist these clients is to apply sunscreen following every manicure or pedicure service.
Unfortunately, many clients who have vitiligo are self-conscious about their appearance, and—just like any client—when they enter your salon they're looking for relaxation, understanding and the appropriate amount of attention. Because this condition has noticeable cosmetic effects, your services can be crucial in lightening a client's mood and raising her self-confidence. By following the few precautions when performing manicures and pedicures, you can offer these clients beautiful nails and safe services.
Tracy Morin is a freelance writer and editor based in Oxford, MS.
Maybe you haven't seen vitiligo before, and aren't sure what to expect the first time you see a client with it. This frequently misunderstood condition is nothing to be concerned about; just take the advice of Missy Malone, owner of SPAtaneity in Fort Worth, Texas, who regularly performs services on a client with vitiligo.
"My mom has the skin disorder vitiligo, and I do regular manis and pedis on her. There's really no difference in her services versus other clients' services; I do my best to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease. I've discovered that extra care must be taken when providing cuticle grooming, as her hands are completely white, making it very difficult to see the cuticle. I just make sure I keep her nails and cuticles hydrated, and gently push back the cuticles. I've also noticed that she tends to bruise easier than most, so when I'm doing the massage I use a lighter, gentler touch. There is often more sensitivity to water temperature and product being used during service.
"I definitely feel that vitiligo is a skin disorder that nail techs need to become familiar with. Prior to my becoming a nail tech, people would often mistake my mom's condition with that of a burn victim, making her feel even more self-conscious. We shouldn't be so quick to judge one's outer appearance!"

Glaucomatous damage not only occurred to retinal ganglion cells in the eyes, but went across optic nerves, visual chiasm, lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and finally the visual cortex; the neural degenerations could be identified through the whole visual tract, which suggests the central nerve system may play a vital role in the progression of glaucoma. The investigators used MRI to investigate changes of visual pathway in vivo.

Dolly Parton asks 'goddaughter' Miley Cyrus to stop being 'so drastic'
Dolly Parton has told Miley Cyrus, who has made it to the list of Time's 100 Most Influential People, that she needs stop being so drastic.
In a tribute to the 21-year-old as part of the magazine's coverage, Parton said that if she didn't know how smart and talented the 21-year-old singer was, she might be worried about her, the Mirror reported.
The 68-year-old country singer asserted that Cyrus was very proud of the work she did as Hannah Montana, but felt people were going to leave her there forever.
She added that Cyrus was just smothering and choking in it and therefore, the singer felt she had to do something completely drastic.
Parton added that 'Wrecking Ball' is a great song, asserting tha the whole album is great and she's hoping that now Cyrus can relax and show people how talented she really is.

Tiesto's closing set at Stereosonic 2010, Brisbane
Whether you were there in the flesh, or just watched the mountain of footage on YouTube afterwards, Tiesto's closing set of the Brisbane leg of the 2010 Stereosonic tour was one of those priceless, unplanned moments that remind us why we love festivals so much.
Just as the bass dropped during Tiesto's final track, his anthem 'Adagio for Strings', Calvin Harris and Sebastian Ingrosso who were joining their fellow DJ on stage, got a little carried away, drenching the Dutchman – and his mixer – with champagne.
While stage crew scurried to fix the situation, devastation amongst the crowd grew into anticipation, making for a spine-tingling reception when Tiesto finally started the track again.

The average pay for a Farm Worker is $10.28 per hour.
Farm workers are responsible for planting, cultivating, and harvesting crops such as sweet potatoes, peanuts, rice, soybeans, and cotton. They are responsible for the upkeep of land and tools, which are generally provided by the employer at no cost. Some farm workers occasionally work with and operate heavy machinery.Read More...
The majority of the farm worker's job is conducted outdoors regardless of the weather conditions. On occasion, some individuals may work indoors, but this is rare. Work hours may vary, but farm workers generally begin their shifts in the early morning hours and end in the mid- to late-afternoon. Farm workers typically work in groups; most of the farm's labor cannot be done by just one worker, so a potential candidate for this position must be able to work effectively in a team environment. There is some individual work, but that is rare and often reserved for certain individuals who have the certification to perform these specific duties.
There are generally no educational requirements for this position; however, candidates with relevant educational or professional certification may be preferred. Candidates generally must have three months of harvesting experience, but training is often provided for the right inexperienced candidate. Individuals who are in good physical shape are preferred.

Planned one-day closure - NCAR Mesa Lab - 10/10/15 more info>
- UCAR Home
- About Us
- News
- Research+Resources
- Education
- For Staff
There are two paths on the lower NCAR Mesa Lab property that are used
heavily by the public for walks, runs, and walking dogs. One of these paths
is north of the NCAR road and runs from the end of Table Mesa Drive. The
other runs along the eastern edge of the NCAR property.
My complaint/suggestion concerns mainly the first of these trails. The
trail and surrounding open space are contaminated heavily by dog feces and
urine. Many children use these paths, raising serious health risks and even
potential liability issues for UCAR. Over and above the health issues, the
odor of the feces and urine is sometimes quite powerful, particularly near
the trail itself. Furthermore, though I am not an expert in this matter, it
is hard to believe that this high density of feces and urine is helpful to
the fragile environment in the open space.
Many open space areas in the Boulder area have signs stating that dog
owners must collect dog feces. The NOAA-owned open space on Kohler Mesa has
signs stating something to the effect that it is illegal to leave feces and
urine on federal land. I have owned dogs in the past, and I empathize with
the desire to walk and run with dog companions in the open space. But it is
reasonable to require that owners have their dogs urinate and defecate
before entering open spaces shared with children and people who don't own
dogs. Can NCAR place signs stating that it is illegal, unhealthy, and rude
to leave feces and urine on NCAR property, and can NCAR provide plastic
bags for feces collection?
Answered on August 27, 2001
We share your concerns regarding the health risks and the unsightly nature
of animal droppings along hiking trails. We have discussed the problem with
Boulder Open Space officials, with whom we share custodianship of the
trails, and they advised us that the best solution is to post signs
advising dog owners of their legal responsibilities. We will then report
observed violators to the appropriate city officials for further legal action.
Open Space officials report limited success with bags and trash cans. Often
the bags are just left along the trails for others to pick up. Trash cans
themselves can become a hazard: they require daily attention; attract
rodents, bugs, and insects; and generally exacerbate the problem. We feel
that while signs are appropriate, bags and trash cans are ineffective
solutions to this problem. We will have UCAR maintenance install
appropriate signs.

On April 24, discover the impact of plastics on the world's oceans with Giora Proskurowski from UW Oceanography.
While working on a research sailboat in the Pacific Ocean, UW Oceanography Research Scientist Giora Proskurowski observed water littered with confetti-size pieces of plastic debris, then the wind picked up and the particles disappeared. After taking subsurface samples at a depths of up to 16 feet, he discovered that wind was pushing the lightweight plastic below the surface. That meant that decades of research into how much plastic litters the ocean, conducted by skimming the surface, may in some cases vastly underestimate the true amount of plastic debris in the oceans.
Giora graduated from Amherst College with a chemistry major, but was lured to the earth sciences with the prospects of using chemistry to study deep-sea hydrothermal vents. He got his masters and PhD from the University of Washington in chemical oceanography, studying the connections between biology, geology, and chemistry at deep-sea hot vents. Following a post doctoral fellowship at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, he joined the faculty at Sea Education Association where he began applying his interdisciplinary oceanographic skills to plastic marine debris. In 2010 he came back to the University of Washington, and splits his research time between deep sea hydrothermal vents and surface ocean plastics.

Earlier this summer we asked you to write or show us in pictures what you love most about and America — and you've responded with some great, heartfelt sentiments and incredible photographs! Dierks Bentley's "I Hold On," a track from his upcoming Riser album, now provides the soundtrack for our on-air and online #DearAmerica campaign. The song was co-written by Dierks and Brett James.
"This song is probably one of the most personal songs I've ever written or recorded, but at the same time it hits a lot of universal themes that I think we can all relate to," Dierks said. "I've really been able to sense that from the fans when I play"I Hold On" out on the road and am really looking forward to seeing what country fans tuning in at home will share."
"'I Hold On' is perfect, we knew it immediately!" Jen Leitman, GAC SVP Marketing and Creative, said. "The Dear America campaign is about what we, as Americans, hold onto and believe in about our country and the response has been terrific.

William Culp:
I have to be honest with you that I was a little frightened. I was a little uncertain about how I would be received as a teacher. I didn't really have any doubts about the treatment that I would receive from the administration or the faculty, because I had interacted enough during my student teaching experience. But I was a little bit concerned about what would be the reaction of students, and that was sort of the way I approached it, but I was pleasantly surprised that my race didn't seem to make a whole lot of difference to students. Students who would respect the teacher would respect the teacher whether he or she were white or black. Those that were troublemakers were troublemakers and it had little to do with race. I really, I think, found a great deal of acceptance and a certain amount, I think, of grudging respect for someone who would volunteer. It was clear I was one of only about three or four white faculty members that year, that being the last year before integration took place. There were a number of black teachers who had gone to white schools on sort of the same basis. I found a lot of acceptance among everyone, students as well as faculty. Really, after a month or so, I became very comfortable with my situation and really began very quickly to get beyond race. To feel that race, in that particular situation where all the students were black and most all the faculty was black as well, very quickly began to feel that race was not an issue, at least not for the folks that were at West Charlotte.
- William Culp, teacher at West Charlotte High School, 1969-70

Octr. 18th. 1896
My dear Violet
I send you the books you want, also two "Centuries" & Will's Joan of Arc. There are no more O.P. articles in Fortnightly. I am & have been very busy, & no news except a new chess-player, good I believe. As you are to have your "bike" soon I send you a cheque for the Amount. Mrs. Fiskes has been here last Saturday to Monday discussing about her new book. No beetles to be found now. Cannot send snails with books.
As to the pendulum experiment -- [[2]] the reason is, that any heavy object either rotating, as a wheel, or swinging, as a pendulum, keeps in one place, & requires considerable force to move it angularly out of that plane. The plane a heavy pendulum swings in, if the ball is suspended by a very long thin wire, is a plane in space. But as the whole pendulum & room in which it swings is carried round with the earth, the plane would have to change if it kept in one apparent plane as in the pendulum of a clock. The free pendulum does not change its [[3]] plane, but the room & floor do revolve, therefore the fixed plane of the pendulum-swing appears to revolve around the room. If you have any of your school rooms with a hook in the ceiling you can try it. get a round or cylindrical weight, about 28lbs. suspend it by a very thin piece of steel wire, draw it about 3 or 4 feet out of the perpendicular & fasten it by a thin string. Get the room closed so that there is no draught, & burn the string [.] Then the pendulum [begins] to [[4]] swing in a certain line which you can mark. In an hour it will be found to be swinging in a different plane, moving opposite to the hands of a watch. It can be seen to have moved I think in a quarter of an hour.
Will's address is -- He says he will be here every week as long as he is at Southampton so you can write here. Mrs. Julia Dawson of "The Clarion" would like you to call on her. She is an invalid and cannot walk much. Her address is 33 Gresford Avenue, Sefton Park. I think you will like her.
The Bike makers will take the cheque. If you are to have discount for cash ask them to give it you.
Your affectionate Pa | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

At Least 1 Dead After Car Flips Into Clear Creek Canyon
June 12, 2013 12:51 PM
GOLDEN, Colo. (CBS4) – Officials in Clear Creek County have put a temporary ban on tubing and other types of recreation in Clear Creek in the Golden area after a car crash in which at least one person died.
Highway 6 was closed at midday in both directions while emergency crews dealt with the crash.
Officials said the vehicle flipped off the road and went into the creek. They determined one person in the vehicle was dead and they were checking to see if there was another body in the car.
Officials said they closed the creek to recreational activities because of the city and Jefferson County resources being tied up in the crash situation.

Poetry book, cookbooks among holiday fundraisers
by W. Winston Skinner
Christmas is a time for gifts - starting with the Magi visiting Bethlehem with gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Area churches are offering several opportunities for gift-giving that also helps congregations with their ministries and outreach.
Christmas bazaars were held at two local churches on Dec. 7. The Olive Branch group sponsored an Old-Fashioned Christmas Bazaar at Sharpsburg Baptist Church, and the Providence Baptist Women held their fundraiser in the fellowship hall of the church on Providence Church Road.
Southern Roots, a plant nursery in Newnan, worked with the youth of St. Paul's Episcopal Church on an evergreen wreath sale.
Funds from the project will go toward the youth spiritual pilgrimage to the Southwestern United States.
The Newnan Service Center of the Salvation Army held a Holiday Event on Tuesday evening. Coffee and refreshments were served, and a photographer took pictures of children with the Elf on the Shelf.
Local Christian poet Connie Campbell Bratcher has put together a new book of poetry, 'Shine The Light.' The book offers excerpts from her three previous works - 'Inspirational Messages in Poetry - For a Deeper Faith,' 'For a Closer Walk' and 'For a Clearer View.'
'These poem excerpts are short, easy to memorize and each is followed by a related Scripture,' Bratcher said. There are color paintings by D.D. Watson's on each of the poem pages.
Bratcher's first book signing was Thursday during the B-Acts senior citizens meeting at Flat Creek Baptist Church near Fayetteville.
'The prayer of my heart is that this book will touch the readers in a way that would inspire them to shine the light of the glorious gospel of Christ into this spiritually dark world,' Bratcher said.
Two area churches also have books for sale as fundraisers during the holiday. New Hope Church at Wooster is offering 'The New Hope Family Cook Book.'
Copies are available for $20 from New Hope Church, 7719 Callaway Rd., Greenville, GA 30222.
Allen-Lee Memorial United Methodist Church in Lone Oak has a cookbook and a history book.
Copies of the cookbook, 'Amazing Grace,' are available for $17 each. Checks payable to Allen-Lee UMC may be sent to Peggy Parker, 4201 Keith Road, Hogansville, GA 30230.
'The History of Allen-Lee Memorial United Methodist Church' is available for $18. Checks payable to Allen-Lee UMC may be sent to Rosalind Edmondson, 7073 Forrest Road, Hogansville, GA 30230. 'History book' should be in the memo line.


text: At the start of this year's holiday season, Panthera participated in #GivingTuesday - an internationally celebrated day that encourages charitable giving during the holiday season. Thanks to an outstanding outpouring of support, Panthera raised over $250,000 for big cats on this one day, and with our match, a total of over $500,000 will now go directly to the field, where it matters most, to support Panthera's wild cat conservation work.

Baltimore Design School opened the doors of its new home this fall at the Lebow Building on Oliver and Barclay. The new building, originally a Crown Cork and Seal Factory, now houses studio areas, classrooms, and performance spaces. Additionally, the school also provides a new Mac lab with access to the Adobe Creative Suite for all staff and students thanks to a $50,000 grant from Adobe.
Baltimore design school is a transformation school that provides a public middle- high school education to students from all over Baltimore city. The school is in its third year, with its oldest students now entering the 9th grade and preparing for careers in fashion design, architectural design, and graphic design. Meghann Harris, A graphic designer based in Baltimore, first became involved with BDS four years ago, when it was still on the drawing board. Starting out as an intern, and then student teacher, She now teaches Design Thinking 1 and 2 and is a big advocate for how design can encourage students to articulate themselves and push them to think critically about the world in which they exist. "Design integrates almost all they are doing," Harris says, "it takes the skills kids are learning in other classes like math and science and makes them tangible and concrete." Matt Rouse, the Project Designer for Baltimore Design School also sees the potential a design education could have for Baltimore students, "Being immersed in a design curriculum will teach them that design is a process of defining a problem, exploring options, using judgment, articulating a solution, assembling resources, and growing from the experience."
"When you take students and put them in a new environment, full of bright colors, clean, well-designed classrooms with beautiful spaces for creating and learning, their whole mode of thinking changes…this building is increasing their pride" says Harris, "students will be more inclined to succeed in their classes, because they are proud of their school and want to do well."
In transforming what had been a neglected building into an innovative modern school, Rouse aimed to achieve an environment that encourages positive learning experiences to take place:
"We focused on creating spaces that would not only teach students what good design looks like, but also how it feels. We strategically placed the fashion and architecture labs on the north side of the second floor to take advantage of the benefits that the taller ceiling height and indirect light have on visualization and creation. We minimized the use of dropped ceilings to expose as much of the infrastructure as possible to show the students how the building systems work. We repurposed the former loading dock and courtyard into an outdoor performance space for fashion shows… We dispersed exhibit areas throughout the building and in the hallways, all of which are covered with tackable surfaces so the students can pin up their work in as many places as possible and discuss it…We specifically designed areas that encourage interaction and the exchange of ideas."
"Many students have never taken a formal art class," says Harris, continuing that the emphasis on design in the BDS curriculum is "training them to know different design skills but (is) also training them to be adaptable and to understand a designer's role in society, so they can better articulate themselves and spawn new ideas." Her students come from twenty-two zip codes all over the city and Harris hopes they will walk out of her classroom, "with a sense of passion and an understanding that great colleges will be looking at them… Baltimore Design School is a public school, and it's giving (Baltimore city students) another chance to find a program that is meant for them, not only giving them the chance to design, but design who they are as a human being."
"I went to public high school," Rouse says, "and we had your typical basic art classes, but it wasn't until I took an elective architecture course my junior year that it really clicked for me. It just took one class and I know what I wanted to become. The Students at Baltimore Design School possess a decided advantage by having an entire school focused on design professions… it will cultivate students who will develop problem solving and critical thinking skills that are invaluable in any profession. Maybe, most importantly, it will teach them, as the school motto states, that design changes lives including their own."

Anna Nicole Smith Net Worth: Anna Nicole Smith was an American model, actress, and television personality who had a net worth of $50 million dollars. A model and actress, Anna Nicole Smith became a household name after appearing as the 1993 Playmate of the Year in Playboy. She also modeled for H&M, Lane Bryant, and Guess Jeans. She passed away due to a prescription drug overdose in 2007.
Born Vickie Lynn Hogan (November 28, 1967 – February 8, 2007) in Houston, Texas, she was the epitome of the classic voluptuous blonde in the mid 90's. The girl who had Marilyn Monroe as a role model and became a single mother at age of 20, rose to fame once she started to appear on the pages of Playboy. Being exotic dancer and model at the time, Nicole Smith rose to fame in 1993 when she was named Playmate of the Year. She had since modeled for such clothing companies as Guess jeans and Lane Bryant. Shortly after, she got married again, but this time to oil business mogul, J. Howard Marshall, 62 years her senior. This high-profile marriage surrounded with rumors that she married the octogenarian for his money, ended with Marshall's death that led Smith begin a lengthy legal battle over a share of his estate. The case called Marshall v. Marshall reached the U.S. Supreme Court on a question of federal jurisdiction, and again on a question of bankruptcy court authority (now called Stern v. Marshall). Anna Nicole Smith lost her life untimely on February 8, 2007, when she was found dead in a Hollywood, Florida hotel room as a result of an overdose of prescription drugs. The last six months of her life, she spent in the focus of media regarding the death of her son, Daniel, and the paternity and custody battle over her newborn daughter, Dannielynn.

This DATA SHEET is a more detailed discussion about repairing chisels with made to order handles. To see our factory made range of wooden & synthetic material handles CLICK HERE
Bench Chisel Handles
We can supply chisel handles for you to fit and we also offer a handle make-and-fit service. Occasionally we can also repair, or slightly shorten, classic handles such as those on E.A. Berg chisels which have handles which contribute greatly to both their sentimental and market value. Note that if you buy tang style handles to fit yourself, we make these handles with a centered, smaller than final hole for an average tang thickness and length. This is because there is nothing approaching a standard for chisel tangs. We also supply socket style handles oversize as there is no standard socket dimension.
R.A. Salaman, in probably the best single resource and indispensable text for lovers of tools, "Dictionary Of Wodworking Tools", lists tools used by in excess of 80 wood trades, from Ships' Block maker to Coffin Builder. It is inconceivable that chisels were absent from the tool kits of any one of these trades and, as a consequence, there have been over time an wide variety of designs and patterns which in turn means there is a wide range of chisel styles and patterns on the second hand market.
The situation on the new tool market today is not, unfortunately, as blessed with variety. You will see a concentration on the bevel edge, often incorrectly called 'firmer' pattern, virtually no socketed styles, few companies offering true firmer blades (rectangular in east west side to side section), surprisingly few butts, a few sizes of mortice chisel, (rectangular and slightly tapered in north south, top to bottom section), and a paucity of bench gouges, either in-cannel (scribing) with an inside flute grind or out-cannel, with an outside flute grind.
The majority of reputable western makers of chisels, (although there are exceptions - SEE HERE), have in recent times moved their manufacturing base to the rapidly emerging economies of East and South Asia. In some cases the resulting products are then part assembled, or the final packaging is done in the West, and the tools are then able, under what are surely less than ideal consumer advice regulations, passed off as say 'Swedish' or 'American' or 'British Made'.
These developments, coupled with the flood of chisels with very average steel quality - albeit maybe more honestly marketed with unrecognisable branding - sourced from the emerging economies of East and South Asia, have spawned a very active market in second hand chisels. In this market there are clearly many more chisel blades about than complete chisels and here is where we are able to help with replacement handles, commonly the most problematic part of keeping a chisel in use.
A footnote perhaps to the skepticism expressed above about quality is that it is quite possible to find poorly made and poorly hardened Western chisels and, if the trends continue in the migration of manufacturing, there will surely be quality chisels made in the East sooner or later. It will however, in my view, have to await the day when Made In China no longer carries an automatic assumption that it means the bottom end of the market in quality.
Finally it should also be pointed out that none of the above comments apply to the middle to high end Japanese market in chisels which are in a class all by themselves although, even here, there are rip offs and cheaper copies becoming available.
When Should a Chisel Blade be Written Off?
Bear in mind that a chisel blade goes through numerous processes during manufacture one of the most critical is hardening. A chisel is normally part-only hardened - often in molten salt baths - before final grinding and polishing. This hardening results in the usable portion of the blade becoming limited to the leading 60 to 70%. If a chisel has seen so much grinding and honing that less than half of the length of the original blade section remains it may not be worth bothering with. An exception here is to accept the much used chisel as a butt chisel with the acceptance that only a few grinds are left before the edge starts to stop holding up a sure sign the hardened section of the blade is worn away. This will be evident also because the speed of getting an edge back on improves, the problem being you are in softer steel territory.
In summary then if a chisel blank were to be universally hardened over its full length it would likely snap under use. The tang and rear 30% is therefore not hardened so it will absorb shock loads without shattering.
Hoops & Ferrules
We don't fit anything other than generously proportioned solid brass fittings to the handles we make. We also use very dry handle stock and we take great care in the fitting of hoops to avoid as far as possible the dreaded loose-hoop problem due to wood shrinkage. Pinned hoops can be specified as per Berg styles, please email for this option.
We are often able to re-use the distinctive milled ferrules and steel Berg hoops even if fitted with pins. Please discuss this when emailing.
Woods & Finishes
We will by default use either an appropriate acacia or eucalypt species for striking styles and, by email negotiation, can offer a wide range of attractive species for paring styles including Australian desert acacias such as Gidgee and Myall . (Unfortunately we cannot source either the birch root burl stock of classic Bergs or genuine boxwood).
If customers wish to supply wood they wish to see in their handles and it is suited to the purpose then it can be used.
We can supply handles with most finishes - lacquer (which is easily removable), synthetic Tung, Pure tung oil, polyurethane and, of course, no finish at all.
Socket Styles
The decline in socket styles available on the new tools market, (with the notable exception of many Japanese makes - which often actually have a combined socket and tang), is due in part to the lack of any standard as tapers are only approximately similar among manufacturers. Our socket styles will also therefore require you to do some work in the fitting. The other notorious problem with socket styles is that they work loose due to seasonal movements in the wood of the handle. Despite this they are, in many users view, highly agreeable to the eye, so please don't give up on them.
Unfortunately, other than for the fitness-for-purpose requirement at supply, we cannot warrant the chisel handles we supply for fitting by customers as this is a relatively skilled operation with a risk of splitting during fitting.
The Ultimate?
If you have the budget we can supply in sets of 6, 8, 12 or 18, (or any combination to order), re-handled Stubai "Spezial" alloy blades with 18 size options between 2 and 40mm fitted with London Pattern octagonal handles in heirloom quality woods - typically Mulga or Gidgee or Myall - and heavy duty brass fittings. This option can include leather shock washers or leather paring heels.
This deals out any compromise by delivering you the best blades (Stubai), the best handle design ("London" Octagonal), the best and most exclusive woods (desert Acacias), heavy brass fittings and all professionally hand made with options including shock washers and leather heel caps.
Please email for quotes and delivery timing. Please also be seated when seeing pricing.
Chisel Nomenclature
Salaman's view of the parts of a chisel is as follows
We offer handles with either ROUND or OCTAGONAL section, in either HOOPED or PARING STYLES, for either TANG or SOCKET style blades. Leather shock washers can be specified where appropriate. We can often re-use ferrules with the unique milling pattern from renowned makers a such Anton Berg and, if you have enough of the busted old handle to lift a copy off, you may want to supply that for us to match if you are sending chisels to be re-handled.
Round Patterns
|Handle, Chisel, ROUND Section, For TANG Blade, FERRULE & HOOP, #160010
|Handle, Chisel, ROUND Section, For TANG Blade, PARING & FERRULE, #160015
|Handle, Chisel, ROUND Section, For SOCKET Blade, HOOP, #160020
|Handle, Chisel, ROUND Section, For SOCKET Blade, PARING, #160025
Octagonal Patterns
Octagonal section handles offer the benefit of not rolling about on the bench when put down and have an improved feel.
Paring handles have no hoop and are intended for only light mallet work. They are usually pushed by hand.

Other Chisel Styles
Please email your requirements for handles for your other chisels. We also make handles for a wide variety of other tools and "appliances" as varied as the handles on bow saws through to those on favourite kitchen & garden tools.

Any woman who has more than one child can tell you how different each child is from birth. You are born with your personality intact. The Color Code is based on your natural, innate personality type. Of course, people may change over time, but your Core Color will always remain the same.
Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.

New God of War III Shots Are Like, Totally Epic
Written Monday, January 18, 2010 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
The more we see of Kratos' PS3 debut, the more and more excited we become. So far we've seen the fearsome Spartan battle numerous skeletal foes and discovered that he'll also be fighting Hades, presumably in the bowels of hell, since that's his neck of the woods.
This fresh batch of shots show Kratos scrapping with an enormous moss-covered rock man, which is currently looking like some crazy twist on Shadow of the Colossus' immense fights with lumbering stone giants.
Or maybe the level just takes place on the stony fella's back. It's hard to tell, and we naturally assume that Kratos will end up caving his big, fat sedimentary (or is he igneous?) face in.
Check out the new images, and make up your own mind.
