The transformation occurs even before the horses are brought out.
Shelby Wimmenauer can't say more than about five phrases to communicate with others. A heart problem as a child left her in a coma for three years, and when she awoke, she had lost the ability to walk, see and talk.
But when she's helped into the saddle at Meadowstone Therapeutic Riding Center south of Franklin, 16-year-old Shelby is a new person.
"She loves animals, and there was something instant where she connects with the horse. Anything is possible when she's on the horse," said Cheri Wimmenauer, her mother. "She relaxes; she's calmer and has more strength and awareness of her body."
Shelby is one of the success stories at Meadowstone, the only horse therapy center in Johnson County. The center uses horses and horseback riding to help develop physical and mental skills, and to offer a calming influence to those who need help.
Owners Bob and Julie Oliver have spent the past five years pairing children with one of four specially trained horses. They've seen kids develop the ability to speak, watched as they started to walk without assistance and fine-tune social skills.
"It doesn't work for every child. But when it does work, it's miraculous," Julie Oliver said.
Perched on a spotted brown-
and-white horse named Tigger, Drew Bayliss sat up straight in the saddle and did his best cowboy impression.
His left hand gripped the saddle horn, while the other hand held the reins. With his protective helmet slightly cockeyed, the 6-year-old Franklin boy bounced up and down with each step.
"He took right to it. He's done really well and likes to brush the horse. And he loves to go fast," said Kristi Bayliss, his mother.
Drew is one of the new students at Meadowstone. His mother signed him up for the six-week summer session in June.
She learned about the riding center through a family friend. Kristi Bayliss thought it sounded like a productive way to deal with Drew's autism.
"I had done a little research online about riding therapy and wanted to try it," she said.
Therapeutic horseback riding is used in a variety of ways for people suffering from many different issues.
According to research by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, riding helps stimulate the body and brain. A horse's gait re-creates a person's natural movements, including walking. Riding also builds muscles in the trunk and legs of a person who uses a wheelchair.
"The gait of a horse moves your hips in the exact same pattern that walking does, and it actually can stimulate the nerves and tendons and muscles," Julie Oliver said. "It builds balance, coordination, core strength in a way that it's hard to do it any other way."
In addition, it can simply serve as an opportunity for the disabled to be active in a way they normally couldn't.
"This is their sport," Julie Oliver said.
Bria Clawson, 7, has been diagnosed with a seizure disorder that causes her to move uncontrollably and prevents her from walking most of the time.
She started horse therapy when she was 2 years old and has developed more movement with her legs. Her seizures have also lessened, said Kelli Clawson, her mother.
"Bria sits up and has more core muscles than before. I feel like she can be having the worst day, but when she comes out here, it just mellows her," she said.
The Olivers founded Meadowstone in 2009. Bob Oliver was a veterinarian and owner of the Franklin Animal Clinic until his retirement that year.
The couple have raised, shown and trained horses throughout their 44-year marriage, and they had built a large indoor riding barn on the Amity-area farm.
Their interest in therapeutic horseback riding was spurred after hearing the story of a child at their church who had gone through horse therapy on a farm on the northside of Indianapolis.
When they learned there was no such facility in Johnson County, the Olivers decided to open their own.
"We had the horses, we had the barn, now let's go get some kids," Julie Oliver said.
But opening a therapeutic riding center proved much more intensive than they expected. While the barn was suitable for therapy riding, the Olivers had to add on an office and build a parking lot.
Julie Oliver had to be certified by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, as well as be trained in running a center. She did student teaching at a farm in Cicero, passed two written tests and a riding test, and conducted a test lesson in front of evaluators.
Shelby has been riding at Meadowstone since it started.
She had been taking part in a horse therapy program in Zionsville before it opened. But living in Whiteland, it became too difficult to make the hour-long drive there and back, Cheri Wimmenauer said.
When they learned about a Johnson County program, they immediately signed up.
Shelby's development since they started horse therapy has been impressive, Cheri Wimmenauer said. Though she can't talk, Shelby has created a series of sounds so she can communicate. Horseback riding has only expanded that.
"She's willing to try anything on the horse, even the things she's refused to do on land. She sleeps better, and all around, there are multiple layers of what she's had to offer us," Cheri Wimmenauer said.
Each session puts the child in the saddle to ride on one of Meadowstone's horses. Some of the animals, such as Magic, were raised by the Olivers. Others were rescued and brought to Meadowstone, such as Tigger, a recovering abused harness horse.
The children are flanked by two side-walkers, volunteers who stay by their side to make sure they remain safe in the saddle. A third volunteer leads the horse.
The lessons are themed, to give the kids something different to do each time they arrive at the barn. They play games, such as using squirt guns to knock off a ball or carrying a cup of water from one barrel to the next, all while balancing on the horse.
Instructors also implore the children to stretch their arms, follow directions and work with their volunteers — skills they otherwise might not build.
"If you do it another way, it's work. But the kids consider this therapy fun," Julie Oliver said.
Jackson Phillips, 9, suffers from cerebral palsy. When he started at Meadowstone, he could not run and could barely walk. But after doing horse therapy for five years, as well as other physical and occupational therapies, he can now take off in a gallop.
So when his horse starts going at an easy trot, Jackson beams.
"Because he couldn't run, when the horse would run, it was all smiles. You probably wouldn't get a smile any other time, but he starts smiling then," Julie Oliver said.
Meadowstone just finished its six-week summer session and is accepting registration for the next round, which starts in September. The Olivers have just started a new program, pairing with patients at nearby Tara Treatment Center to provide a stabilizing psychotherapy sessions for people struggling with addiction.
The Olivers hope to help as many children and adults as possible, even though they recognize they have limited resources. Because of the number of horses they have, and the amount of volunteers needed to work with one child, sessions remain small.
But all of those involved have faith that they'll connect with those who need their services most.
"We consider this a God thing. We feel that God made horses specifically for people. This is such a unique animal. And we also believe that God approached us to open this ministry, and we pray that he'll bring us the students to help."

By way of comparison just 23 percent of consumers, on average, switched carriers between June and August 2008. Nearly half (47 percent) of new AT&T iPhone customers that switched carriers switched from Verizon Wireless, another 24 percent switched from T-Mobile, and 19 percent switched from Sprint.
"The launch of the lower-priced iPhone 3G was a boon to overall consumer smartphone sales,†according to Ross Rubin, director of industry analysis for The NPD Group. "While the original iPhone also helped win customers for AT&T, the faster network speeds of the iPhone 3G has proven more appealing to customers that already had access to a 3G network.â€
According to NPD, before the launch of the iPhone 3G, iPhone sales represented 11 percent of the consumer market for smartphones (January through May 2008); however, after the launch of iPhone 3G, Apple commanded 17 percent of the smartphone market (January through August 2008).
The average price of a smartphone sold between June and August 2008 was US$174, down 26 percent from $236 during the same period last year. During June through August 2008, the top four best-selling smartphones based on unit-sales to consumers were as follows: the iPhone 3G, the RIM Blackberry Curve, the RIM Blackberry Pearl and the Palm Centro.

"John Purcell's excellent book is a concise and detailed text on the aesthetic and techniques of dialogue editing in the digital age. He brings a wealth of knowledge of the entire production sound arc and how dialogue editing significantly contributes to the process. Any filmmaker who follows Mr. Purcell's methods will have gone a long way to producing a very polished and professional sound track for their film." - Bill Dannevik, Professor of Digital Media, USC Cinema-TV/Savannah College of Art & Design and Technical Manager of World Wide Dubbing, Disney Character Voices International
"John Purcell's book is a comprehensive and detailed guide to the arcane craft of dialogue editing. Both instructors and students will benefit from his thoughtful examination of each stage of the post production sound process as it relates to this crucial component of the soundtrack." - Harry M. Cheney MPSE - Supervising Sound Editor - Associate Professor; Chapman University Dodge College of Film and Media Arts
"This is a great subject matter and I and my colleagues would have loved to have had a book like this 10 years ago...there is very little information on the specifics of dialogue editing available." - Todd Hooker, film editor
"I am very happy to endorse this book. I have not previously seen a book that has realistically dealt with the professional responsibilities of a dialog editor. Dialog is the focus of a successful soundtrack. It not only contains the majority of the intellectual arch of the film but the timbers and tempos of the actor's voices are instrumental in establishing the critical relationship between the audience and the viewer. Without the Dialog editor's well-prepared session it is difficult and costly, (in terms of time spent in the dub) if not impossible, for the mixer to do what is necessary to establish or enhance that relationship. I look forward to being able to use this book as a required reading for my students." -Professor John Sisti, Savannah College of Arts and Design/Department of Sound Design. Formerly with Columbia Pictures/Sony Entertainment Supervising Sound Editor and Dialog Editor "Mad About You
"Purcell has written this book for people who need to edit production sound for narrative films but were 'never taught how to do it.' Unlike music and effects editing, dialogue editing operates under a different set of rules. There are certain fundamental procedures that are absolutely essential to know and, unless one has been fortunate enough to work with an experienced editor in different situations, the information is not available. Purcell's book will fill in the gaps." - Editor's Guild Magazine

UNT Air Power Symposium speaker to discuss new technology used in war
What: Wired for War -- The annual Air Power Symposium presented by the University of North Texas Military History Center. Featuring Dr. Peter Warren Singer, senior fellow and director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution, as the guest speaker.
When: 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. April 20 (Tuesday)
Where: Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, 1600 Gendy St., Fort Worth
Cost: $50; includes lunch. Reservations must be made by April 6 (Tuesday)
Contact: UNT Department of History at 940-565-2288
DENTON (UNT), Texas -- In Afghanistan, the U.S. military's remote-controlled drones take out terrorists, while in Iraq, the number of unmanned systems on the ground increased from zero at the start of the war to 12,000 in five years.
Dr. Peter Warren Singer, senior fellow and director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., will discuss the implications of robotics and other new technologies for war, including new prototype planes that could make human fighter pilots obsolete and tiny robots the size of flies to carry out reconnaissance work during the annual Air Power Symposium sponsored by the University of North Texas Military History Center April 20 (Tuesday).
Wired for War, which is also the title of Singer's 2009 book, will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, 1600 Gendy St. The symposium includes lunch and Singer's keynote address.
The event costs $50. Reservations must be made by April 6 (Tuesday) by contacting the UNT Department of History at 940-565-2288.
The Military History Center's Air Power Symposium began last year through funding by the Aviation Heritage Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving North Texas' aviation history. The association produced the Fort Worth Alliance Air Show for 18 years before the show was taken over by Alliance Aviation Services.
The center, which has a goal of building one of the premier military history programs in the U.S., has a long tradition of sponsoring public programs. Since 1983, it has held the invitation-only Alfred Hurley Military History Seminar -- named for the president and chancellor emeritus of UNT -- during the fall semester.
Singer is the youngest scholar named a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in the institution's 90-year history. In 2009, he was named by Foreign Policy Magazine to the Top 100 Global Thinkers list, which included those whose ideas most influenced the world that year.
Wired for War made the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list during its first week of release, and was named a nonfiction book of the year by The Financial Times. It has been featured in the video game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot, CBS' Late, Late Show and Comedy Central's The Daily Show, and has been used for required reading by the National Defense University and the Royal Australian Navy.
Singer is also the author of Children at War, which explores child soldier groups. The book received the 2006 Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Book of the Year Award and was made into an A&E/History Channel documentary, Child Warriors, in 2008. Singer also served as a consultant on the issue to the U.S. Marine Corps and Congress, and the recommendations in the book resulted in changes in the UN peacekeeping training program.
Singer's first book, Corporate Warriors: The Rise of the Privatized Military Industry, pioneered the study of the industry of private companies providing military services for hire -- an issue that became important with the use and abuse of these companies in Iraq. The book was named the best book of the year for 2003 by the American Political Science Association, among the top five international affairs books of the year by the Gelber Prize and a "top 10 summer read" by Businessweek.
Before his current position at the Brookings Institution, Singer was the founding director of the institution's Project on U.S. Policy Toward the Islamic World. He is also a founder and organizer of the U.S.-Islamic World Forum, a global conference that brings together leaders from across the U.S. and the Muslim world. In addition, he was a consultant for the TV dramas The West Wing and 24 and the 2008 movie Traitor.
Singer is a graduate of Harvard University and Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

It's the final stretch until the June 14th release of Sofia Coppola's newest exploration of nihilism, material excess, and Los Angeles, the based-on-true-events "The Bling Ring," and the first clip from the film has just been released. Starring a host of young stars such as "Harry Potter's" Emma Watson and "American Horror Story's" Taissa Farmiga, alongside newcomers and a few celebrity cameos, the film follows a group of naive teens with a fixation on a life of glamor, who loot the houses of celebrities while they're away.
The brief new clip shows the gang of young hooligans sift through a closet of expensive clothes before exploring an in-house nightclub, where Watson shows off a few moves. The bad behavior and the naturalistic, totally obnoxious and vain way that the characters talk to each other call to mind distributor A24's other recent success, Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers," which definitely seems to have a lot in common with this film.

MOZART - School buses from Marshall and Ohio counties are transporting students along Mozart Road between Mozart and Mount Olivet where an Ohio Valley Regional Transportation Authority bus rolled over earlier this month.
On Aug. 7, a 24-passenger OVRTA bus carrying only a driver and driver trainee dropped off the berm of Mozart Road and rolled over several times down an embankment. A witness who had been following the southbound bus on the narrow road said he noticed the bus move to the right to make room for an oncoming vehicle when one of the rear tires slipped off the berm, causing the driver to lose control.
Marshall County Schools Transportation Supervisor Dave Smith said two 77-passenger buses use the road daily.

Photo by Scott McCloskey/An Ohio Valley Regional Transportation Authority bus rolled over an embankment Aug. 7 on Mozart Road.
"I went out and checked it out and it is not a good situation," he said. "The road is solid but there appears to be nothing there to hold a guard rail unless they install piling. It is a straight dropoff at the edge of the road."
Smith said he has alerted bus drivers to use caution in the area.
"I told them if they see oncoming traffic, to let it pass before continuing," he said. "That will allow them to swing more toward the center of the road and avoid the dropoff."
Ohio County Schools Transportation Director David Ziegler said his district has one bus traveling the route.
"I have not heard any complaints," he said. "I leave it up to the drivers to report any safety issues. If a problem is reported, we investigate it immediately."
The West Virginia Division of Highways has no plan to remedy the situation in the short term. DOH District 6 Maintenance Engineer Paul Hicks said much depends on funding.
"We do not have anything planned at this time," he said. "We can evaluate it, and if guardrails are necessary, we would install them when funds become available based upon priorities throughout the district."
Smith said the problem on Mozart Road is not the issue on his mind during the first days of the new school year. He said truck traffic from the natural gas drilling industry is cause for school bus drivers to be concerned.
"Most of the drilling companies work with us to minimize traffic during our blackout times," he said. "They normally do not run trucks between 6:30-9 a.m. nor from 3-4:30 p.m."
Still, Smith said buses navigating roads damaged by the drilling vehicles and trucks not slowing down through school zones are concerns.
"The Marshall County Sheriff's Department is aware of this and they are watching school zones more carefully," he said.
Ziegler said truck traffic from the gas drilling industry presents some problems for bus drivers.
"We see the water tankers and fracking trucks running in convoys on some narrow roads," he said.
He said most drilling companies work closely with school officials to stay off the roads during hours when students are being transported, but such is not the case with pipeline company trucks.
"The pipeliners do not tell us what they are doing," he said. "They are often crossing a road we travel or are unloading large machinery, which takes a great deal of time."

I am having design issues for a sunken roman bath. I think i can solve this problem if i can have a wooden floor for shower. there is an exsiting floor already, so i would just design a wood floor to go over the exsisting tile floor, so drainage is not a problem. my problem is, will this work?, what concerns will i have with wood and water, and if it will work, what type of wood should i use?
any help please, thanks

Use the right wood and allow for drainage and you'll be fine.
Ipe', Cedar, Redwood, Cypress all come to mind as good woods to use here.

Hey Pif, I ran across one called "iron wood" when I was apprenticing with the historical board on Victorians 30 years ago back east...
I'd be worried about anchoring the duckboards through the membrane but with iron wood since it won't float it would be perfect no?
Tough mother to nail too we needed a bike impact wrench to put in the drywall screws... anyway it doesn't float. May be a prime wood for this particular use. Have you heard of it?

When I came across the pictures of Kallie(Nutmeg) I fell in love with her. She's such a great, loving, and playful cat. We brought her home on Christmas Eve, so she was a little nervous around all the new people. Once every one was gone though ,she was back to her playful self. The animal shelter was very helpful and friendly. I'm so thankful we were able to adopt Kallie! I can't imagine life without her now !

Too many cooks in the Thanksgiving kitchen may result in a Black Friday call to the plumber.
The day after Thanksgiving isn't just a big shopping day, it's considered the busiest day of the year for many plumbing companies.
Mark Wissler at Dallas Plumbing Company says some people call on Thanksgiving, but most of the emergency calls come on the day after.
His worst experience he calls "the brisket incident," when a guy stuffed an entire brisket down the garbage disposal. He spent a couple of hours pulling chunks of meat out of the drain line.
Wissler says celery is stringy and potato peels and carrot peels are flat, so they bypass the crushing plate of the garbage disposal and will easily stop up the drain line.
Another problem plumbers have to deal with is grease from the turkey or ham. Once it cools off, the grease becomes solid and blocks up a garbage disposal.
Wissler and plumbers around the country are on call on Thanksgiving -- just in case.

Anansi the Spider: A Tale from the Ashanti (1986)
by Gerald McDermott
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Grades: K-5
Theme: African culture
Summary: This is a story of an Ashanti tale about a spider named Anansi. Anansi goes on a quest, but he finds himself stuck in the belly of a fish. Luckily, he has six sons, who are determined to help save their father from his fate. After being safely brought home, Anansi does not know who to reward because they have all worked to save his life. Eventually, with some help, Anansi was able to reward everyone for their effort.
Personal Reaction: I really loved the bold colors the artist used. The artwork seemed to reflect the culture the story was taken from.
1) I would have the children make spiders out of toilet paper rolls and construction paper, and hang them from the ceiling of the classroom.
2) I would have the children present a tale that they have learned from their parents and culture to the class.
I loved re-reading this with my daughter, as this was a favorite of mine when I was a child! I love the drawings and the colors! Beautiful to read!
This is a great book to use during a folktale unit. This tale comes from Ghana and is great for early childhood as well as early elem students. Anansi uses trickery and cleverness to evade his oppressors. The illustrations are really cool too and include a lot of geometric shapes.
37 months - both my husband and I tripped over the words in spots but we all enjoyed the folk tale.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0805003118, Paperback)Anansi the Spider is a wise, funny, mischievous, and loveable folk hero who pops up in traditional Ashanti tales from Ghana, in West Africa. This story, retold and illustrated by Gerald McDermott, relates the tale of father Anansi and his six spider sons. When Anansi sets out on a dangerous journey and gets into all sorts of trouble, each son does one thing to help, and all their efforts together save their father. He finds a mysterious, beautiful globe of light in the forest, and decides to make it a gift of thanks. But which son should receive the prize? Even with the help of Nyame, the God of All Things, he can't decide, so Nyame takes the great globe up into the sky, and that's where it has stayed ever since--the moon, for all to see. This profound story reaches children of many ages; younger ones see it as an exciting rescue story, but older children are intrigued by the larger themes of cooperation and "the whole being more than its parts."
Anansi the Spider, McDermott's first book, received immediate acclaim and was named a Caldecott Honor Book. McDermott has retold and illustrated many other folktales and myths during his long career, including Arrow to the Sun: A Pueblo Indian Tale, which received the Caldecott Medal, Musicians of the Sun, and a series of trickster folktales from around the world. He has a rare combination of skills, being both a gifted writer and a talented artist. His distinctive graphic style using bold shapes and brilliant colors is always striking, but is especially well suited to the story of Anansi, with traditional African motifs skillfully integrated throughout the art. This is a story that can be read over and over again! (Ages 4 to 9) --Marcie Bovetz
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:11:44 -0400)
In trying to determine which of his six sons to reward for saving his life, Anansi the Spider is responsible for placing the moon in the sky.

Picks are based on fundamental strength
It's not all champagne and caviar
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
ETF Securities, the exchange-traded fund firm that began U.S.
rollouts of its physical metal ETFs about a year ago, decided to
hold the price of its ETFS Physical Silver Shares ETF
(NYSEArca:SIVR) 40 percent below that of its arch rival for at
least another year to help asset-gathering efforts.
SIVR, which launched on July 24, 2009, now has about $178
million in assets. ETFS is keeping in place the 0.30 percent price
it calls a discount from a cap of 0.45 percent described in
regulatory filings. By comparison, the iShares Silver Trust ETF
(NYSEArca:SLV), which costs 0.50 percent a year, has assets of
$5.35 billion. Both funds offer investors ownership of physical
silver that's stored in vaults.
"We decided that we'd extend that period of discounting for
another year to see if there's further asset growth," said Fred
Jheon, managing director of product development at ETF Securities.
"If it makes a difference, we'll continue the discount, and if
there's not a difference, we do have a right to raise it back to 45
basis points."
ETF Securities' decision is the latest sign of price competition
in the world of metals ETFs. Last month, iShares cut the price on
its Comex Gold Trust (NYSEArca:IAU) by more than a third,
undercutting both the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSEArca:GLD) and ETF
Securities' Physical Swiss Gold Shares (NYSEArca:SGOL). IAU costs
0.25 percent, versus 0.40 percent and 0.39 percent for GLD and
SGOL, respectively.
Asked if ETFS might make the SIVR silver fund's expense rate
0.30 percent permanently, Jheon said it was a possibility, but not
quite yet.
"We might do that," Jheon said. "But we're still the new kids on
the block in terms of the ETF space here in the U.S., and it takes
time for people to know us, know our products and ultimately use
"If we see continued asset growth in a year, it may be we'll
just cap it at 0.30," he added.
Silver Heating Up?
Coincidentally, silver ETFs have been among the top performers
recently as anxiety mounts about the durability of the U.S.
economic recovery.
SIVR was the fifth-best performing ETF yesterday, rising 1.52
percent, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse.com. The ETF
has gained almost 5 percent in the past month as investors fret
about persistent unemployment and the threat of deflation.
SLV meanwhile was eighth on Monday's best-performers list, with
a 1.47 percent gain, IndexUniverse.com data show.
Silver, like gold, constitutes a safe-haven role in investors'
portfolios. But unlike gold, it has broad industrial uses in
electronics, jewelry, aerospace and battery technologies that tie
its performance to economic growth.
ETF Securities, which has offices in New York and London, has
platinum and palladium ETFs in addition to SIVR and SOGL. The ETFS
Physical Platinum Shares ETF (NYSEArca:PPLT) and the Physical
Palladium Shares ETF (NYSEArca:PALL) also offer investors ownership
of physical supplies of the commodities that are stored in vaults.

Artist: Autumn
Album: Cold Comfort
Genre: Rock
A Micro-kaleidoscope to take a closer look at the fabric of life.
Crushing depth for all that's familiar.
I've seen time under a different light
And aeons passed without a single sound I liked.
A seashell stethoscope to localize the pulse of all matter
(And all that matters)... Not that it matters.
I've seen time under a different light
And aeons passed without a single sound I liked.
All of my thoughts just seemed to pass me by
When liquid colours and yet another
Changed to change my mind.
Five senses amplified and well in overdrive.
The fourth Dimension,
The slowing down of light.
Event horizon.
Veils of light and dark alike
Lower mine.
Just... stay alive.

This page assesses what happens to image quality from f/8 to f/16, the contrast-robbing effects of diffraction being the concern.
For in-depth coverage of diffraction and depth of field and more, see Making Sharp Images.
Contrast and diffraction
When I tested the Leica S2, I discovered that the lenses were so outstanding that diffraction effects were already visible at f/8, with a clear loss of micro contrast at f/11, and a very dull f/16.
Similar contrast loss should be expected from the Pentax 645D, but the degradation from diffraction depends on how good the optics are to begin with, and might also depend to a small extent on sensor technology.

text: iPad 2 hands-on: Photos and opinion iPad 03 March 11 iPad 2 photoNate Lanxon Nate Lanxon Editor of Wired.co.uk Follow @NateLanxon Last night, Apple unveiled the iPad 2. As should come as minimal surprise, Wired.co.uk was there to play with it first-hand.The first thing you'll notice about the iPad 2 is, of course, its refined design. No changes have been made to screen size or resolution, but its thinner, lighter body is noticeably more comfortable to hold with one hand than its predecessor. I found that my left hand was jealous of the right, as it was no longer required. I'll still keep it around for touchscreen duties, however.So it's a gorgeous-feeling device, and I'm fairly sure the area of the brain that increases in activity when you cuddle a kitten went into overdrive for me when I got my hands on it. But that's what Apple does best, and it's of modest importance.The first actual feature addition of note is the incorporation of twin cameras -- one on the front, one of the back. These are lenses built primarily for video calling to Macs and iPhones with FaceTime, and for capturing short video clips. When I was giving them time with my own face, they were ideal for such use, but they are by no means going to replace even the most modest of digital still cameras. My face is highly demanding, and requires higher resolutions in order to smile.You can capture up to 720p HD video using the rear camera though, and Apple's new iMovie video processing app for the iPad offered a simple, but very capable multi-timeline editing tool. Sadly, you'll still need a PC or Mac to load other clips onto the iPad, as you can't connect a camcorder directly to the tablet. This is a pretty big disappointment in my opinion as it means, for video sharing at least, you won't be leaving the laptop at home on holiday. It might be a "post-PC" device according to Steve Jobs, but the iPad isn't replacing PCs just yet.Next: music. I play both the piano and the drums, so I was extremely keen to see what GarageBand for iPad played like on the new iPad, particularly as it apparently uses the device's accelerometer to determine how hard you're tapping the on-screen instruments. And it works.More importantly, I noticed a complete lack of delay (latency) between pressing a piano key and hearing its sound. On existing iPad musical apps, this is not the case and it's a good job GarageBand solves that problem. It also offers a range of keyboards, pianos, drum kits and guitars, wrapped in a typically-Apple UI. Thus, the ability to record, edit and mix multiple instruments, and even record your own samples, was compelling in its simplicity. But I'll say this: you are not going to be recording anything you'll want to sell on iTunes on the iPad. (Though I suspect it won't be too long before a popstar releases one as a PR stunt. Probably Bieber, the squeaking little arse.) However, as a musician, I can absolutely see myself using the iPad's musical tool as a means of recording song ideas -- musical note-taking, if you will. Often I find myself coming up with an idea for a piano riff when I'm sat on a plane or a train, but short of humming into my computer, that tune is digested along with an in-flight wine. Perhaps that'll change now. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

MOSTO: "Wine Bar In The City" Top 5 Page for this destination Chile Restaurant Tip by VeronicaG
Chile Restaurants: 87 reviews and 81 photos
Mosto is located outside of the Parque Arauco Mall along with many other restaurants and eateries. It has an extensive wine list, sleek bar and outside dining area. We sat on the outside terrace under a wide umbrella upon a comfortable couch.
I invited my daughter-in-law here after an evening of shopping at the mall. I ordered a glass of Montes Reserva Sauvignon Blanc for myself and an assorted cheese tray and shrimp to share, she sipped a coke. The entire bill came to $9.300 pesos or less than $20 US for both of us.
The cheese tray had several assorted cheeses with nuts, raisins and grapes scattered on top. The shrimp was lightly touched with garlic butter...ummm! Marvelloso! I recommend a stop here to anyone traveling in this area.
Favorite Dish: The assorted cheese tray and tasty shrimp in garlic butter
Address: Parque Arauco Blvd., Santiago
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: Directly out the doors of the Parque Arauco Mall--on a large terraced area

Ten Islamic Books to Read This Summer
Summer is a great time to catch up on some non-academic reading, i.e. something other than textbooks! If you are looking for suggestions on how to brush up your religious and spiritual know-how.
Summer is a time to ease up and let our minds relax. At the same time, however, summer is a great time to catch up on some non-academic reading, i.e. something other than textbooks! If you are looking for suggestions on how to brush up your religious and spiritual know-how, here is a list of ten Islamic books to read this summer. (Look out next week for a general books-to-read list as well.)
10. Akhlaq al-Aimma (Morals of the Imams)
This book is written by Sayyid Zafar Hasan Amrohi and is nothing less than a life manual for Shia Muslims. It seeks to illustrate the perfection of the Holy Imams (peace be upon them) and present us with role models and examples. Each of the 18 parts of this book has examples from each of the Holy Imams with respect to that category or topic, ranging from piety and humility to hospitality and courage. Available online.
9. The Awaited Savior of Humanity
What do the Prophet and his Ahlul Bayt have to say about the reappearance of the Twelfth Imam? About his true followers? About the reign of justice he will establish? Written by Abdul-Rahman Mugahi and translated by Shaikh Saleem Bhimji, this short book is a collection of 40 traditions from the Prophet and his Household about Imam al-Mahdi, containing many eye-opening admonitions and extremely informative pieces of information for his Shias. Available online.
8. Islamic Rulings: Medical Issues
Although this is more of a jurisprudential book, it addresses many vital contemporary questions in regards to modern science and medicine. Translated into English by Shaikh Hamid Waqar, it contains the verdicts of Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei about issues like organ donations, sex change, contraception, and euthanasia. Although this book does address many interesting and thought-provoking questions and issues that might not have occurred to us, make sure to check with your own Marja Taqleed regarding specific Fiqhi inquiries. Available online and in print.
7. Adab as-Salat (Disciplines of Prayer)
What is the purpose of washing ourselves before prayer? What is the philosophy behind bowing? What is the symbolic value of prostration? Written by Imam Khomeini, Adab as-Salat is an extremely engaging and easy-to-read guide on how to practice spiritual wayfaring and truly feel connected to our Lord during our prayers. In addition to explaining the significance and philosophy behind every act of prayer, Imam Khomeini also offers practical tips and advice on how to truly let the spirit soar during Salat. Available online.
6. Restatement of the History of Islam and Muslims
This book is a must-read book for every Shia Muslim. Sayed Ali Asghar Razwy poignantly addresses the history of Islam from before the birth of the Prophet until the martyrdom of Imam Ali. But in addition to presenting the Shia version of history, he also addresses and refutes many misconceptions and outright fabrications about the history of this crucial period that are made by other Muslims. Available online and in print.
5. Light Within Me
Light Within Me is a deeply spiritual book that introduces the reader to Irfan, guidance, and spiritual perfection. The book is divided into three parts, with different authors for each: Ayatollah Mutahhari, Allama Tabatabai, and Imam Khomeini. The book's goals is to have us leave behind the daily distractions and focus more on our spiritual knowledge. It also provides a history of Irfan and Gnosticism. The book concludes with the Invocation of Sha'baniyah following the interpretation of Sura Fatiha. Available online and in print.
4. Guiding the Youth of the New Generation
Our youth today are greatly impressed and highly influenced by pop culture which shapes their preferences about what to eat, what sport to play, how to dress, how to talk, and how to appear and behave in a way that is "cool". All this has contributed to increasing the generation gap between parents and elders of our community and our youth. The book Guiding the Youth of the New Generation is where Ayatollah Murtadha Mutahhari focuses on the subject of this generation gap and the mindset of our youth. Available online and in print.
3. Tawheed al-Mufadhdhal
An atheist comes to the city of Medina and tries to misguide the people using false philosophical argumentation. Mufadhdhal, a companion of Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (peace be upon him), comes to the Imam and complains to him about how no Muslim can refute the atheist's claims. The Imam holds four sessions with Mufadhdhal, during which he proves to him God's existence using the human body, zoology, geology, and natural disasters. The book is extremely fascinating, and the Imam mentions numerous scientific details that weren't known to modern science until very recently. It is also an excellent resource for those who are interested in countering modern atheistic arguments from a scientific point of view. Available online and in print.
2. Nahj al-Balagha (Peak of Eloquence)
Considered the most important book of Shia Islam after the Holy Qur'an, Nahj al-Balagha is truly a timeless treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom. Consisting of Imam Ali's sermons, letters, and short sayings, the book is a must read for every believer. According to many scholars, the best way to read Nahj al-Balagha is by going backwards: start first with the short sayings, then go through the letters, and finally read the sermons. Since it takes some time to process the wisdom and literary depth of Imam Ali's words, it is advisable to read it for 15-20 minutes every day instead of trying to go through entire book in a month. Available online and in print.
1. The Holy Qur'an
Of course, the most important book, and one we can never read enough of, is the Book of Allah. In his last will, Imam Ali says, "Remain attached to the Qur'an. Nobody should surpass you in being intent on it, or more sincere in implementing it." Summer is a great time to set up a daily Qur'an reading schedule. Devote at least half an hour every day to reciting the Holy Qur'an and reading the translation and commentary. The recent phrase-by-phrase translation by Ali Quli Qarai is considered the best English translation of the Qur'an from the Shia perspective thus far and is available for purchase online. The Al-Islam Qur'an Portal contains translations by three different translators and the commentary by Ayatollah Mirza Mahdi Pooya.

A much-needed article! Thanks so much, I'm going to print this out so I can remember it. By the way, number 3 looks really interesting! I've never heard of it, but I look forward to reading it. It seems like it would be very applicable for any of us living in the US.
If I may, here are a few more suggestions:

A Shi'ite Anthology by Allama Tabatabai
Shi'ism: Imamat and Wilayat by Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi
Youth and Morals by Sayyid Mujtaba Musawi Lari
Lantern of the Path by Imam Jafar Sadiq (as)
Islam and Religious Pluralism by Ayatollah Mutahhari
Self Building by Ayatollah Amini
Why is Ali Quri Qurai's translation of the Qur'an considered best, and by whom? How does it compare to e.g. Abdullah Yusuf Ali's?

Also, who recommends reading Nahj al-Balagha backwards and why?
cant wait till my holidays to start!!
Salaams, Brother. Ali Quli Qara'i's translation is considered excellent because it uses modern English.

The translator does away with all the "thee" and "thou" stuff, which I think is good considering that the way many of the translations use such archaic terms is odd at best. It doesn't make a text beautiful to use such out dated terms. Instead, it can make the text more difficult to understand, which goes against doing a translation in the first place. The Qara'i translation's English is generally very up to date and easy to follow.

Another seemingly small but very important fact is that the Qara'i translation does not use Roman numerals for the chapter numbers. It is very frustrating to see many translations on the market today make use of Roman numbers, which also alienates readers.

One thing about the Qara'i translation I like is that it offers alternative explanations for the Arabic text. These give the non-Arabic reader an insight into the depth of the Quran,, as well as highlight the fact that no translation can ever hope to fully distill the essence that is the Arabic Quran.

It should be noted that there are a few different publishers of the Qara'i translation. ICAS Publishing was the original and this version is to be recommended although it is extremely expensive. Khatoons Publishing copied the translation and published it for a much cheaper price, but there is a huge problem with the Khatoons edition: many words in the Arabic text are missing the dot in the letter "noon"! Without the dot, it becomes very difficult, if not impossible, to know what the correct letter is, and therefore to know the words, unless you keep in mind that the error repeats itself throughout. It is shocking that a Quran could be published like this ...
Salaams!

Excellent article, mA!. Very much needed indeed. May Allah (swt) reward you all for you efforts. By any chance, will the second list still be published as well? Either way, thank you so much for this very insightful piece =)
We've a free giveaway going on of The Holy Qur'an translated by Ali Quli Qar'ai in our Facebook page. Here is the paste from a recent shout out about the giveaway:

Salams,
This is an excellent idea as for a long time I've been interested in find a listing like as there are lists like this almost in every library for fictional and non-fiction books.
I wonder would you tell me if these books are suitable for 11 year olds? I mean fairly easy and light to read and follow.
I am really trying to get my son into learning through reading about our beautiful religion without it being somewhat a chore.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated and I pray they are greatly rewarded.
Jazakallahu Khair

Poem Title:
'Number four—the girl who died on the table— The girl with golden hair—' The purpling body lies on the polished marble. We open the throat, and lay the thyroid bare . . . One, who held the ether-cone, remembers Her dark blue frightened eyes. He heard the sharp breath quiver, and saw her breast More hurriedly fall and rise. Her hands made futile gestures, she turned her head Fighting for breath; her cheeks were flushed to scarlet,— And, suddenly, she lay dead. And all the dreams that hurried along her veins Came to the darkness of a sudden wall. Confusion ran among them, they whirled and clamored, They fell, they rose, they struck, they shouted, Till at last a pallor of silence hushed them all. What was her name? Where had she walked that morning? Through what dark forest came her feet? Along what sunlit walls, what peopled street? Backward he dreamed along a chain of days, He saw her go her strange and secret ways, Waking and sleeping, noon and night. She sat by a mirror, braiding her golden hair. She read a story by candlelight. Her shadow ran before her along the street, She walked with rhythmic feet, Turned a corner, descended a stair. She bought a paper, held it to scan the headlines, Smiled for a moment at sea-gulls high in sunlight, And drew deep breaths of air. Days passed, bright clouds of days. Nights passed. And music Murmured within the walls of lighted windows. She lifted her face to the light and danced. The dancers wreathed and grouped in moving patterns, Clustered, receded, streamed, advanced. Her dress was purple, her slippers were golden, Her eyes were blue; and a purple orchid Opened its golden heart on her breast . . . She leaned to the surly languor of lazy music, Leaned on her partner's arm to rest. The violins were weaving a weft of silver, The horns were weaving a lustrous brede of gold, And time was caught in a glistening pattern, Time, too elusive to hold . . . Shadows of leaves fell over her face,—and sunlight: She turned her face away. Nearer she moved to a crouching darkness With every step and day. Death, who at first had thought of her only an instant, At a great distance, across the night, Smiled from a window upon her, and followed her slowly From purple light to light. Once, in her dreams, he spoke out clearly, crying, 'I am the murderer, death. I am the lover who keeps his appointment At the doors of breath!' She rose and stared at her own reflection, Half dreading there to find The dark-eyed ghost, waiting beside her, Or reaching from behind To lay pale hands upon her shoulders . . . Or was this in her mind? . . . She combed her hair. The sunlight glimmered Along the tossing strands. Was there a stillness in this hair,— A quiet in these hands? Death was a dream. It could not change these eyes, Blow out their light, or turn this mouth to dust. She combed her hair and sang. She would live forever. Leaves flew past her window along a gust . . . And graves were dug in the earth, and coffins passed, And music ebbed with the ebbing hours. And dreams went along her veins, and scattering clouds Threw streaming shadows on walls and towers.

Customer Reviews
June 13, 2009Reviewer: Lee in OregonWhat a major disappointment the new vanilla flavor is. My digestive tract doesn't like the new formula as well either. I gutted it through the box, but never again unless they go back to the old formula.
April 01, 2009Reviewer: Jerry in ArkansasThe new formula for Vanilla has a very strange taste. Too sweet. The old formula was much betterThis review is specific to MET-Rx Drink Mix, Original Vanilla
March 23, 2009Reviewer: Bill in WyomingI have been using this product for years with great results. Always mixed well and tasted pretty good. The so called new and improved version leaves a terrible aftertaste !!This review is specific to MET-Rx Drink Mix, Extreme Chocolate
