From a Victorian Ireland of magic, poetry and rebellion, Ida Jameson, an amateur occultist, reaches out for power, but captures Laura Armstrong, a modern-day graphic artist instead. Now, for the man or demon she loves, each woman must span a bridge through Hell and across history . . . or destroy it.Publisher: Berkley Trade
"Every passionate man is linked with another age, historical or imaginary,
where alone he finds images that rouse his energy." W. B. Yeats
Anchored in fact on both sides of history, Laura and Ida, modern rationalist and fin de sicle occultist, are linked from the moment Ida channels Laura into the body of celebrated beauty and Irish freedom-fighter Maud Gonne. When Laura falls--from an ocean and a hundred years away--passionately, Victorianly in love with the young poet W. B. Yeats, their love affair entwines with Irish history and weaves through Yeats's poetry until Ida discovers something she wants more than magic in the subterranean spaces in between.
With her Irish past threatening her orderly present and the man she loves in it, Laura and Yeats--the practical materialist and the poet magus--must find a way to make love last over time, in changing bodies, through modern damnation, and into the mythic past to link their pilgrim souls . . . or lose them forever.
Genre: Dark Fantasy
Single Title/Series: IN DREAMS BEGIN is book two in the Harrowing series but can easily be read as a stand alone novel.
Cover Thoughts: I like it, its pretty but I would have liked to have seen more plot elements portrayed. The cover, disappointingly, doesn't alert the reader at all to what lies beneath.
Why I Read It: I received a review copy from the author.
My Review:
Laura, a newlywed, is under a lot of pressure. Tonight is her wedding night but the honeymoon has been postponed due to an opportunity to make a name for her small graphic design studio. Now, instead of traveling through Italy with her wonderful new husband, Laura has a week to make the biggest marketing pitch of her career to date. It's perhaps no wonder than that on her wedding night, Laura is consumed by restless and absurd dreams.
Believing at first that she's dreaming, Laura finds herself strangely trapped in another woman's body. Even more curious, she's been mentally transported into the Victorian era. Thinking that her subconscious must be feeling repressed to have conjured a room and clothes straight from Victorian times, Laura easily convinces herself that what she sees before her must be a dream. But the woman peering crazily into her eyes and crying out that Laura's a daemon, definitely doesn't believe her to be dreaming.
Ida Jameson, striving desperately to be accepted into the occult world, is experimenting with her childhood friend, Maud Gonne, when their seance suddenly goes completely wrong, setting into motion the garish events to come. Hoping to channel Maud's father, instead a strange soul overtakes Maud's body. Terrified at first, Ida knocks her friend out while she thinks what she's to do when an idea dawns on her that this is a test. Surely if the leaders of the occult could see for themselves what she's done, they'll initiate her and grant her the magical knowledge she so desperately seeks but has thus far been denied.
A woman consumed by jealousy, Ida morphs from a petty opportunist to woman with a deep black pit that can be never filled with the happiness and power she craves. At the beginning, Ida uses Maud's possessed body as proof of her fledgling power. From there she strives to channel her own soul into Maud in an attempt to possess Maud's coveted beauty. When this fails, she then strives to follow Maud's wandering soul to be in Hell with the handsome devil she falls in love with. Not caring who she hurts, Ida goes to the cruelest extent to bring her daemon lover to life in the physical world.
During this time, Laura, possessing Maud's body when she sleeps, falls helplessly in love with the poet Yeats. Recognizing Laura for who she truly is while wrapped in the flesh of another, the two embark on a doomed love affair for as time unravels in one day increments for Laura, Yeats experiencing years, sometimes decades of loneliness while he awaits one more stolen moment.
Finally, Laura feels incredible guilt for her love of Yeats while a newlywed to a truly wonderful man. She grapples endlessly with questions of whether or not her encounters with another, even while only in her astral form, could be considered adultery. Everything comes hurling to a conclusion that doesn't satisfy or make this reading journey any where near worthwhile.
My Final Thoughts:
In contrast to White's debut earlier this year, IN DREAMS BEGIN holds not a flame to the engrossing darkness and mysticism of its predecessor. Instead, this reader closed the book with a sour taste. What is it that I've just read? What concept is White trying to reveal? What moral am I to learn from this jumbled plot? Perhaps in Ida's case, it's that jealousy is not a trait one should nurture having watched her fail time and again only to grow uglier and more crazed in her desperation for that which she'll ultimately never have. Truly, out of the entire cast of characters, it is only in Ida that the reader can find any type of character evolution. The rest are nothing but window dressing to the tale of this one evil soul.
And to clear up a raging misconception for romance lovers, IN DREAMS BEGIN is not a romance. The blurb hails a deeply romantic love that transcends time but truly, there is nothing romantic about this tale. In truth there's nothing that even whispers of heroics or love between Laura and Yeats. Yes, their selfish, all consuming fascination for one another does transcend time but it's not romantic in any sense of the word and while I have many reasons I'll give you the most romance debunking of them all: Yeats, a poet and hopeless romantic lost all of my trust when he makes love to Maud's body without her knowledge as she's possessed by Laura. Yuck! And shame on Laura for allowing a man to take advantage of another woman's body no matter if her soul has currently taken possession. Shame on them both! These are two cruel and careless beings who care for no one but their own warped desire.
*sigh* In truth, I felt zero connection to any character except perhaps Ida. While evil yes, she's been dealt a fairly cruel set of cards in addition to the fact that she's absolutely crazy, but her journey is the most detailed and the most interesting for truly she's the only character to evolve. I've said that once before but it merits another mention. With regards to the rest, I felt pity and sadness for Maud for she's merely a pawn throughout the novel and she's carelessly used by Ida, Laura and Yeats. And finally, I felt anger and resentment towards Laura and Yeats for they seemed the most human but also the most cruel in their complete disregard for Maud and her body.
Of course, it's possible that my thoughts are mere misconceptions and that my own personal roadblocks prevented me from appreciating this novel. I recognize that I may have in fact completely missed the mark here, but I can only explain that which I feel and in this case it's disappointment.
White's writing is still something to experience for her words are assembled in the most unique fashion. And while I have no trouble recommending her debut of AND FALLING, FLY, I can't in all good conscience recommend IN DREAMS BEGIN. If you want to experience this author, and I think one should, pick up AND FALLING, FLY and if you're still feeling adventurous, then dive into IN DREAMS BEGIN at your own behest.

I Regret to Inform You That My Wedding to Captain Von Trapp Has Been Canceled.
[Originally published May 18, 2011.]
Dear friends, family, and Austrian nobility,
Captain Von Trapp and I are very sorry to inform you that we no longer plan to wed. We offer our deepest apologies to those of you who have already made plans to travel to Salzburg this summer.
Those of you on the Captain's side of the guest list are probably aware of the reason for the change of plans. I'm sure by now you have received that charming "Save the date!" card in the shape of a mountain goat from the Captain and his new fiancée, Maria.
I must confess to being rather blindsided by the end of our relationship. It seems Captain Von Trapp and I misunderstood each other. I assumed he was looking for a wife of taste and sophistication, who was a dead ringer for Tippi Hedren; instead he wanted to marry a curtain-wearing religious fanatic who shouts every word she says.
But I don't want you to be angry at him. We are all adults here. "But Baroness," so many of my friends have said, "you must be devastated. You yourself are fabulously wealthy, so you cannot have wanted the Captain for his money—you must have truly loved him." It's true. But so, I am sure, does his new fiancée, his children's nanny. Her wardrobe is made of curtains. She's definitely not a gold digger or anything.
I'm sorry. That was crude of me. She seems like a lovely person, and she and the children have a great deal in common.
A great, great, great deal.
Since I will no longer be a part of their lives, I do hope you will all keep an eye on the Captain's children. I am not terribly maternal but I was very fond of them in my own way and I must admit I am worried what will become of them now that I have gone. I had planned to send them to boarding school, since their education at the moment seems to consist mostly of marching around Salzburg singing scales. I think it would have been particularly helpful for the eldest daughter, who seems intent on losing her virginity to the mailman.
Please, friends, don't worry about me. While I was a bit startled to be thrown aside for someone who flunked out of nun school, I assure you that I will be fine, and my main pursuits in life shall continue to be martinis, bon mots, and looking fabulous. You'll also be glad to know I have retained custody of the Captain's hard-drinking gay friend, Max. Anyone who gets tired of sing-a-longs should feel free to look us up.
Again, my deepest apologies for this disruption to your plans. I am currently sorting through the wedding gifts we've already received and I will send them back as soon as possible. The Captain would help, but he is busy learning to play a song about cuckoo clocks on his guitar.

This will be for a backup for my carry piece and/or for when I can't carry a firearm. There is a place nearby that does some knive training and I'm interested in doing that, but until I take a class I guess I'm looking to you guys for advice :gah: :embarassed:

Arizona Head Coach Lute Olson:
"Utah did a great job of totally taking Salim (Stoudamire) out of the offense. But on the other hand, we did a great job on (Marc) Jackson. When that happens to Salim, other guys have to step up."
"It was great to see Ivan (Radenovic) getting back and being able to play. He was huge for us. He's an offensive threat, and he did a great job defensively. He and Channing (Frye) did a great job on (Andrew) Bogut."
"(Andrew) Bogut is a handful, but I thought we did a good job. We forced him into six turnovers on the inside. He's a player. He knocked down three of four three-pointers, and that created a problem for us. He has a big body, and he uses both hands well."
"We got a lot more pressure on the ball and a lot more pressure on passes. We were forcing turnovers in the stretch and we had some great passes."
"The way they were defending in the second half gave us the opportunity to get the ball into the high post. But we still need to get our low postmen into the action."
"(Utah was) not going to get into an up and down game unless they had an advantage on the break, which they did early."
"We said no perimeter looks (from Marc Jackson). If he's going to score, he's going to score on the drive."
"I thought our defense was solid. Key game stats have to do with possessions. We had four more possessions off turnovers and five more off offensive rebounds. Nine more possessions will make the difference in a game like this."
"Chris Rodgers' four free throws down the stretch was vital."
"When you force a turnover or draw a charge, things like that really ignite the whole team."
"We knew (Utah) was going to try to control the tempo because that's their game. We felt they would zone. We thought it would be a steady-paced game. We tried to force the action early and made some big-time mistakes off the press."
"If we lose Channing (Frye) we lose a huge part of our inside offense. We try to get to halftime with no more than two fouls on anyone."
"Our post guys need to be much, much more active on screening and creating gaps. You can't just stand around."
Arizona Player Quotes
Senior Center Channing Frye:
"I think we played our style of play. We should have scored more, but we got a win, and that is all that matters."
"It was a tough game. We were down for most of it, but we stuck together and played well."
"It was fun to play with someone my height. He (Andrew Bogut) is good and very talented, but I had to win on my home court. I wish him a lot of luck in the future."
"Defensively, we struggled a little bit. I like to score 70 to 80 points a game, but today was tougher. We got the win and that's what matters."
Junior Guard Hassan Adams:
"They (Utah) were a good team. They played together as a solid team. They were grinding it in there the whole game."
"It was a team effort for all of us. Salim (Stoudamire) was being played very tough today. The rest of us had to step up. Everyone is good and play. It's situations like these when we come together."
"They (Utah) weren't boxing me out. I got a lot of put backs today. The mentality is to get in there to the ball. If you can't get the shot, then I try to tip it out to one of my teammates."
Junior Guard Chris Rodgers:
"We were still trying to find our rhythm at the beginning of the game. We had some good looks, and my teammates played well today. I just try to get in the zone of the game once I am put in."
"A lot of teams will try the zone defense on us because we are so quick, but we have a lot of good shooters."
"I always want to lift up my teammates when I come into the game. I want to be able to put them in a place to succeed."
"A game like this teaches our team how play tougher. When I'm out there, I try to play aggressively on offense and defense."
Sophomore Forward Ivan Radenovic:
"We just need to get in the game and do what we do well. That is what will help us play tougher."
"He (Andrew Bogut) is a difficult player. We tried to double team him and box him out. He is a great rebounder. It isn't that he's physical, but he is more skilled."
"I just do the things that I can. I am healthy and I got in the game. We played with them for a full game. It was a very physical game. I took a couple of three-point shots. I am more confident now that I am hitting my shots.

Husky Rowers Arrive In Sacramento For NCAAs
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. - The NCAA women's rowing championships is quite a scene. To go along with the 16 Division I teams are numerous schools from the D-II and D-III ranks, from as far-flung as Maine (Bates) and Miami (Barry).
These make for exciting times in the sport, and as coach Bob Ernst put it, "Everyone has new life right now." No matter what happened in the regular season, any team is capable of walking away from here with a National Championship.
The Huskies arrived in Sacramento this afternoon and then caravanned over to nearby Folsom to relax at the team hotel, which they share with Michigan. Everyone then scattered for lunch, with the coaches and administrators heading over to a nearby taqueria to gobble down tostadas.
There should be no complaints of boredom either, as the team hotel is located right next to a movie theater and a premium outlet shopping mall. After lunch, everyone headed over to the race course to rig the boats, put them on slings and then do a few practice laps on the course. The goal was to "shake off the cobwebs," according to Ernst, and loosen up after spending 90 minutes crammed into a seat on the flight down.
Remember, you can continue following the Huskies trip to the NCAAs here on the Dawg Blawg, on GoHuskies.com, Twitter and Facebook. We'll have you covered.

Go For Broke Day
Saturday, April 05, 2014
Go For Broke Day
When : Always April 5th
Are you a gambler? Then, today, is your day. It's Go For Broke Day. Today is a day to put it all on the line, and take a chance. It might be money. Or, it can be a love relationship. Perhaps, it's time to initiate a risky project, or to take a new job.
Many of us go about our daily lives playing it safe, not taking big chances. If you are of a conservative ilk, you may have never gone out on a limb, or taken big risks. If this sounds like you, maybe today is a day to really let loose and "Go for Broke".
If you can muster up the courage to take a big risk, you can enjoy today by taking big risks and "Going for Broke". We will leave it up to you to decide whether the risk is worth taking.
Origin of "Go For Broke Day":
Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day.
".....Being a history Buff, I know that during World War II, the most decorated unit in the US Army was a unit made up of Japanese Americans. .......I found �April 5-6, 1945: 442nd Regimental Combat Team makes a surprise attack on Nazi mountainside positions in Italy, breaking through the Nazi Gothic Line in one day. That may be related to the Go for Broke Day." Thanks., Alan J. Rod, Instructor, USAF Public Affairs Center of Excellence.

Easy to install. Not complicated as I thought they would be. Plenty of lead wire, You can splice to old plug or build a new one with parts supplied.
thank ya
great products
excellant quality
thanks just what I wanted. just what I ordered
Great Quality, Look Great!
Great fit & great look, master cylinder little on the big side there's room for mfg to tuck it a bit... Other than that, ITS GREAT!!!
I felt that these were not too bad. Mine did not come with the multiple clutch cable pin, and the kit does not come with the screws needed. So, a trip to the hardware store unless you have the originals. I had to do some grinding on them to fit my bars, not sure if this was the product, or my handlebars. All in all, for the price, they seem fine.
Perfectly recommended
nice control but did not match the brake line banjo fitting, was supposed to be an exact fit, now I have to buy front brake lines
Very nice looking and well built!
So far no problem...

This breathtaking gown was the first one I tried on! As soon as I saw myself in it at Demetrios Bridal Salon, I knew it was the one. The style of this unique gown creates a truly feminine hour-glass figure and shimmers in all of the right places. My Spring 2013 wedding had an "enchanted woodland" theme, and the delicate floral and vine touches on this dress were indicative of a scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream. I cannot keep this one of a kind gown stored in a box when it could be worn once more, making another lovely bride feel beautiful and confident on her wedding day! This dress was worn on the happiest day of my life as I married my soul-mate and carries with it all the joy, good luck, and positive vibes a gal could want on her wedding day!
- Alterations: This gown is like new, as it was only worn once (in an indoor Church ceremony and indoor reception hall). As far as alterations, I am 5' 2", but, with heels, was 5'4" on my wedding day; therefore, this dress is perfect for a petite someone in this height-range.

Navcharts being voice printed by Kreia?
i have some questions about this little ditty of a thread i'm starting! I mean, you have the sonic imprint sensor, you have HK-47, and you talk with Kreia through the whole game, i figured by now that you should be able to unlock the navicomputer, right:confused:
Simply the voice of the person who locked the navicomputer will not be sufficient to unlock it. It is locked and unlocked by speaking a specific "sentence". So even if you do manage to record Kreia's voice, you wouldn't know which sentence she locked it with. And you don't even know that she is the one who has voice locked it, you only know that it is voice locked.
I always assumed that either Revan had voice-locked it to prevent his friends from K1 from following him into the Unknown Regions, or Bastila voiced locked it FOR Revan for the same reasons.
ok, that kinda explains it, the whole prima guide thing was soooo messed up, the damn thing makes no sense at all! about 40% of the stuff in that guide was never mentioned in the game at all, xbox version anyway:mad:
HK could conceivably mimic Revan's voice and might have figured it out so T3 had to stop him. The Revan novel furthers this notion, as T3 in search of Bastilla could not find her so searched out the next suitable person who would hopefully bring him to Bastilla. Ended up working out apparently.

Dragonborn (Love Spell) (edition 2008)
by Jade Lee
Work details
Dragonborn by Jade Lee
No current Talk conversations about this book.
While I enjoyed the book and the developing relationship between the Queen dragon and Natiya, I won't be re-reading the story. A few things bothered me and made the book more of a series of events about cardboard characters rather than a story where people grow and overcome their faults.
One was the stubborn insistence of Kiril that Dragons are evil and make men evil. This is a reoccuring utterance thought the book. I kept wondering why Natiya didn't tell him the information she gained from the dragon and prove him wrong.
Second was the power of the promise Kiril had made to Sabina. What possessed him to make such a promise in the first place? Why did he have to be responsible for his cousins actions? I also seriously doubt that his cousin was the only one responsible for what happened to Sabina. From her words and actions, I bet she made it impossible for him to deny her and used him to further her own ends.
Third, why did Sabina have to be such an ignorant and manipulative bitch? She never once displayed any shred of compassion or understanding. Her every action was for her own benefit and didn't care about the consequences her actions had on others. She was the true evil in the story.
Four, why was the only way to keep the human from enslaving a dragon to allow the dragon and human to exchange bodies? What prevented them from exchanging bodies back? What gave the dragon the right to take over a humans life or vice versa?
Five, why in the world do people keep making promises when they dont even know what it is they are promising? The consequences of the promise are horrible, they aren't forced to make such and offer, any the people are stupid enough not to find out the terms.
This was more of a fantasy story with some sex thrown in than a love story. I finished it, but didn't have any problems putting it down, which is too bad as I just LOVE dragons. If you're looking for a love story with a good plot and dragons, try Kiss of Fire by Deborah Cooke.
Kiril knows dragons are evil. He should, as he works for the evil dragon-bonded emperor (the same one who killed Kiril's entire family). Kiril is the most feared dragon-hunter in the kingdom and now there's only one egg left for him to find and dispose of.
Dragons are good. Natiya knows because she is carrying the last egg, a Queen dragon. She has eluded capture all these years, but time is growing short and her dragon is about to hatch.
I guess I didn't enjoy this book because of all the conflicting thoughts and actions. Kiril doesn't like to kill but he does. The emperor killed his family, yet Kiril kills the only things that might be able to depose the emperor.
Natiya can't make up her mind about Kiril, dragons, or even the emperor. She has several TSTL moments and I really didn't feel for her throughout the book. I didn't feel a connection (other than good sex) between her and Kiril and both hid hurtful secrets. Anyway, I'm sure there's a vast audience for this, but I wouldn't have shelved it in romance.
Not really a romance novel in the strictest sense, much more fantasy-sci fi. Very little of the elements that make up romance novels - flirting, courting, wooing, mental and physical connection between the characters.

National Poetry Month A week of Sacred Poetry
John O'Donohue, an Irish mystic and poet, was also a philosopher and theologian. F, was born in 1956 in Ireland, and died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2008. O'Donohue's poetry reflect a very practical and earthy spirituality that is grounded in his background in theology and philosophy. He captures the universals that connect all spiritual traditions. His work is considered by some, to be that of a modern-day mystic and saint.
From John O'Donohue's book, To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings:
A Morning Blessing
I bless the night that nourished my heart
To set the ghosts of longing free
Into the flow and figure of dream
That went to harvest from the dark
Bread for the hunger no one sees.
All that is eternal in me
Welcome the wonder of this day,
The field of brightness it creates
Offering time for each thing
To arise and illuminate.
I place on the altar of dawn:
The quiet loyalty of breath,
The tent of thought where I shelter,
Wave of desire I am shore to
And all beauty drawn to the eye.
May my mind come alive today
To the invisible geography
That invites me to new frontiers,
To break the dead shell of yesterdays,
To risk being disturbed and changed.
May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.
Turkish, Sufi Muslim poet, Yunus Emre (1238-1320) who lived much of his life in Anatolia. He was a contemporary of Rumi, though while Rumi wrote in the Persian language for the well-educated, urban dwellers, Emre lived, traveled, and wrote about those he met and taught among the rural poor. He wrote, sang, and recited his poetry in the language of the common people, Turkish.
I am Before, I am After
I am before, I am after
The soul for all souls all the way.
I'm the one with a helping hand
Ready for those gone wild, astray.
I made the ground flat where it lies,
On it I had those mountains rise
, I designed the vault of the skies,
For I hold all things in my sway.
To countless lovers I have been
A guide for faith and religion.
I am sacrilege in men's hearts
Also the true faith and Islam's way.
I make men love peace and unite;
Putting down the black words on white,
I wrote the four holy books right
I'm the Koran for those who pray
. It's not Yunus who says all this:
It speaks its own realities:
To doubt this would be blasphemous: "I'm before-I'm after," I say.
Hildegarde von Bingen was born into a noble family in Bremershein, Germany in 1098. Born the 10th child in her family, she was given as a tithe to the church at the age of 8. She was given to a woman named Jutta who had chosen a life of solitude and seclusion. Jutta's education was limited, but she did teach Hildegarde to read and write. All her life, Hildegarde had visions, starting as early as the age of 3. She remembered seeing and feeling "a presence so great it made [her] soul tremble". She was gifted with clairvoyence and prescience, and was well-respected as a healer and herbalist. She wrote extensively about the medicinal value of plants and herbs as well as natural history. In her early 40s, her visions were finally respected and she was urged to write them down. Her work Scivias, was a collection of her visions, poetry, writings about the relationship of human persons to God. A second collection, Symphonia, was another collection of music and poetry. A woman ahead of her times in many ways, she ran into opposition from the Church, but her works and ideas have lived on.
De Spiritu Sancto/To the Holy Spirit
Holy spirit, making life alive,
moving in all things, root of all created being,
cleansing the cosmos of every impurity, effacing guilt,
anointing wounds.
You are lustrous and praiseworthy life,
You waken and re-awaken everything that is.
Laus Trinitati/Antiphon for the Trinity
To the Trinity be praise!
God is music, God is life
that nurtures every creature in its kind.
Our God is the song of the angel throng
and the splendor of secret ways
hid from all humankind,
But God our life is the life of all.
Hildegarde's music is hauntingly beautiful, and connects the listener to the Divine Spirit in ways that transcend time, place, and tradition.
Caritas abundtat in omnia...love lies in everything.
Saint Therese of Lisieux's poem, To the Sacred Heart, expresses the passion of Christ exquisitely.
Hear O Israel the Lord our God,
the Lord is one.
Blessed is his name,
Whose glorious kingdom is forever.
And you shall love the Lord with all your heart,
and with all your soul, and with all your might.
And these words, which I command you this
shall be upon your heart: and you shall
teach them always to your children, and shall
talk of them when you sit in your house, when
you walk by the way, when you lie down,
when you arise.
And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand,
and they will be seen as a badge between
your eyes.
And you shall write them on the door
posts of
your house, and upon your gates.
In 570 CE when the holy city of Mecca was being attacked by the Abyssinians armies who were intent on destroying the Kabbah, Abdul Muttalib, the Prophet Mohammed's grandfather, went to the Kabbah and prayed for God's intervention. As the story goes, as the armies were beginning to attack, Ababil birds, carrying stones in their beaks, began dropping the stones of the invaders and stopping the invasion. This was considered a great sign, and the year was named, the Year of the Elephant. Abu Talib was 30 years old, and it was the same year that his grandson, Mohammed, was born. Mohammed's father and mother both died shortly after his birth, and his grandfather, Abu Talib raised him.
Hazrat Abu Talib, was charged with protecting the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and to proclaim his prophethood. Abu Talib did this through his poetry.
Here are some lines from one of Abu Talib's poems, thought to have been spoken on his death bed:
Let all of the people know that Muhammad is the Vizier of Musa and Isa (Jesus)
He came to us with guidance which Allah had given him
Everyone is guided by their love of Muhammad
Allah has honoured the Prophet Muhammad
and the most honourable of human beings is the Prophet Muhammad
He (Allah) ripped His name Mahmud and brought out (the name) Muhammad
By Allah, they (kuffar) will never reach you, their whole group
Until I have dust completely covering my face!
So go ahead with your mission
You are under my eyes
You invited me and knew I was a guide to you
And you invited me and knew that I was trustworthy of you
And you invited me because you knew that I knew that Islam is the greatest religion in the eye of Allah
The TANAKH has some of the most beautiful sacred poetry to be found anywhere.
The Shema, with its beautiful call to unity in God, is one of the most beautiful passages to be found in sacred literature.
Hear O Israel
the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Blessed is his name,
Whose glorious kingdom is forever.
And you shall love the Lord with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
And these words, which I command you this day, shall be upon your heart: and you shall teach them always to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you arise.
And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they will be seen as a badge between your eyes.
And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house, and upon your gates.

The OSGi Bundle Repository
I am currently working (when I can turn my eyes from the Mobile and Vehicle specification) on the OSGi Bundle Repository. A couple of years ago Richard S. Hall developed a simple repository, which he called the Oscar Bundle Repository or OBR. This repository was defined in an XML file that contained meta-information of the bundle and a URL where to download the bundle. Initially he maintained this file by hand on the osgi-oscar.sf.net site but after a short time decided that being an administrator was not his forte. So he modified the XML Schema to allow for a federation of repositories.
To make this repository useful, he created a service interface so that a remote repository was available from within an OSGi Framework. This service interface allowed bundles to be discovered, installed, and uninstalled. As the icing on the cake, he developed a command line based user interface with commands like obr list, obr install, etc. Other open source projects like Knopflerfish picked this up, providing bundles for the federated repository as well as an implementation of OBR?s service interface and user interface.
Recently, the OSGi decided to investigate a bundle repository that is hosted on an OSGi web site that would contain both open source and commercial bundles. Obviously, OBR was a prime candidate. Not only provided it most of the required functionality, it also had the right name after s/Oscar/OSGi/. Richard and I had been heavily discussion OBR in the spring and he had made an attempt at OBR-2, which is more general than OBR-1. We discussed the issues with several people, among which was Jeff McAffer, a key person in the Eclipse project. Jeff gave some very useful inputs like the need for license handling.
During ApacheCon we sat down and agreed on the final format for the XML. It is now a very generic capability/requirement model. The bundle manifest is used to generate the repository. I have developed a small project as proof of concept. The project contains:
- An indexer that takes a set of bundles and generates a repository XML file and a ZIP file containing all the resources.
- A service interface to incrementally resolve dependencies between installed bundles.
- A web based user interface to discover and resolve bundles
Now we have agreement, I must handle the next steps. We plan to provide both a web based interface as well as a bundle for Frameworks to manage a service platform using OBR. I hope we can make all the sources available for this project under a suitable open source license. Any party that then wants to provide bundles can register a URL with us so that it becomes part of the federated repository. I also hope that Eclipse will then quickly provide a user interface to use this repository. Then again, this all requires approval of the board so I better start writing up my proposal because my deadline for this project was end of 2005 ?

Photographer Maxim Shemetov spent two weeks in the extreme environment of the Oymyakon valley in the Republic of Sakha, in northeast Russia. Here in the 'Pole of Cold', as it is known, the coldest temperatures in the northern hemisphere have been recorded since the beginning of the 20th century. According to the United Kingdom Met Office in 1933 a record-breaking temperature of -67.8 degrees Celsius (-90 degrees Fahrenheit) was registered. Despite the harsh climate, people live in the valley, and the area is equipped with schools, a post office, a bank, and even an airport runway (albeit open only in the summer).

Feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any suggestions for future editions of this feature.
Today we look at one of the odder about faces you'll see…
When Captain Britain first showed up, this is what his choices were…
Now I'm surely no stickler for continuity, but Chuck Austen really dropped the ball during his Avengers run when he had a new character given the same choice as Brian…
If you don't say specifically that the amulet is for life and the sword is for death, then you miss the whole point of the exercise! The exercise is to see if the person chooses life over death, not amulet over sword! A bad mistake by Austen. Anyhow…
She served with the Avengers for a short time and left after Avengers Disassembled. She later showed up in the pages of New Excalibur, first working against Captain Britain but ultimately siding with him and Excalibur. So she is rewarded with….a visit to her kids?
So, I guess it is okay for her to see her kids now!
I missed this story so I have no idea what's going on. That being said, it seems like a damn mess anyway.
As horrible as Austen's Avengers run was, this was one of the stupider things he came up with. It seemed like he thought that if for some reason she couldn't see her kids, it would add a layer of tragedy as opposed to just being hacky (he was wrong), but since he's a horrible writer he couldn't come up with any legitimate reason she couldn't see her kids. So he just said "Uh, yeah, if your kids see you they'll die. Because I said so, that's why. Sure, that's it."
The "not seeing your kids" part I can deal with (and the whole "not really telling what you are choosing" thing, that's sometimes how these myths go), the fact that it was turned into government's call if she could see her kids or not is iffy though.
and the whole "not really telling what you are choosing" thing, that's sometimes how these myths go
Not when that is not how this myth went, as shown above. Explaining what the sword and the amulet represented was how they chose Captain Britains. It was easy enough for Austen to just have her choose death, ya know? His story still would have worked.
It's Chuck Austen, I think Marvel is forgetting a lot of what he wrote.
Wasn't there a character who chose BOTH items? Possibly one of the Alternate Universe Captain Britains?
I want to believe that the New Excalibur writer (Chris Claremont, I believe) felt (accurately, IMO) that it was a good idea to let go of that cruel plot point was quickly and discreetly as possible. More so since odds were that no one would use Lionheart in a good while. And indeed no one has used her since AFAIK.
I believe there was a plotline where someone choose the sword and became a more grim-and-gritty Captain Britain for his realm.
I don't recall ever liking anything Austen wrote. And I don't think it's because my memory is faulty.
Yes, Fraser, that would be a New Excalibur plot point.
I've got to say, this is a much better way to retcon stupid ideas. Just blatantly pretend they didn't exist. Show rather than tell that the previous status quo is gone. I far prefer this method to the Busiek method of having one character do another expository Q & A session with another character explaining how everything they were previously told or believed was a lie.
For the longest time I'd only heard the "had to choose between a sword and an amulet" part of Captain Britain's origin, and always did think it was a "weapons are bad, mmkay?" type of thing – something that didn't so much prove your worth as your genre awareness: "if a benign mystical force gives you a choice between a weapon and anything else, choose anything else." That kind of thing really does happen all the time in folklore and mythology. This is the first I'm hearing of the actual life vs. death explanation Brian was given, and it makes his origin a lot more reasonable.
If Austen knew about that element of the origin and intentionally removied it, that a was stupid way to go. But even if he didn't know and, like me, thought it was a fairy tale-esque thing where you had to just intuit that Merlin like amulets more than swords, it's still stupid for Brian and Meggan to screw Lionheart over that way – even if Brian had been given the exact same choice he was giving Lionheart, you'd think one of them would at least drop enough hints that she wouldn't be picking at random.
Part of having established characters take over the stations of enigmatic eldritch forces should be a balance between them coming to understand why some things need to be done the way they've always been done and them bringing their own personalities to their duties and trying to temper the "speaking in riddles" nonsense with real-world common sense and logic. Like realizing that if you're trying to get the right person for a role, you should ask the right questions and not just present them with the ancient riddle that's generally worked out well enough in the past.
Well, maybe it's okay now because of a linguistic technicality: Braddock said the children would die painful and horrible deaths if Kelsey revealed herself. In this case, Pete Wisdom did the actual 'revealing' and then she just confirmed his explanation. Either that, or the kids are still going to have terrible, painful deaths, it just hasn't happened yet. Pete Wisdom has done worse while employed by British Intelligence.
I agree with ZZZ, the whole "not bothering to explain what you are choosing" thing is fairly common in mythologies, though it does vary if it is some kind of test to pick suitability (yes, if benign mystical force is offering a weapon and something else, always pick something else) or if it is indeed a real choice that if you pick A this thing happens and if you pick B that thing happens, with ups and downs.
It is a bit unclear which one this Captain Britain choice is, it indeed can be the second one and the person choosing sword can end up being grimmer and grittier warrior who is forced to sever connections to his/her past but who is really good at getting things done, while the one picking the amulet becomes more a valiant protector type. And both are genuine options.
But of course the person can come to regret the effects after making the choice even though it was genuine. Doesn't mean those things need to be taken into consideration; stories are nasty things with no necessity for fairness.
And of course a writer can think it really is a question of making a good or bad choice, sometimes even if another writer had first thought it was a question of equal choices. Or a writer just can make a muddled mess without any clear idea what he is doing…
I think having the choice be blind is far more dramatic, and more in keeping with the idea of destiny. For example, Ogami making Daigoro chose between the ball (oblivion with his mother) or the sword (the life of a ronin) at the beginning of Lone Wolf and Cub.
Wow, I knew that I was basically unfamiliar with Captain Britain outside his early MTU appearances and his "…and MI13″ title, but this is the first I've heard of Lionheart.
Whoops, that last Anonymous was me. On holiday in London, appropriately enough.
The worst part of Austen's story wasn't this — it was the idea that Kelsey being hurt would cause damage to Britain, in response to which she…decided to embark on a dangerous superhero career in another country entirely? How…heroic?
This story was easily the worst thing Austen ever wrote. I mean, EASILY. Bring me your list of dumb things that happened in "The Draco" and I will dwarf it with this.
I do agree that his Avengers run was worse than his Uncanny X-Men run.
Well it was also pretty obvious. "If you reveal who you are to your children" okay, then someone else just needs to do that. The entire plotline should've been resolved in 3 issues.
I thought the whole thing was a stupid idea, even a child could tell if their mommy was wearing a costume.
actually the whole idea is pointless.
I like the clumsy page set-up that has the children reacting two panels after she un-masked.
This was a bad time to read Marvel.
There's another aspect of this that's been forgotten. Captain Britain 35 (1977 written by Gary Friedrich) showed that others prior to Brian had been offered the same choice. They chose the sword and died because it was the wrong choice.
David, I just read the origin (in Captain Britain: Birth of a Legend) and yes, the sword/death is presented as a Bad Thing—the boss villain in the splash page above grabs it up and immediately becomes Bigger, Nastier Evil. So that's definitely been forgotten or at least radically retconned.

New Skyfall poster: Why does Bond have a tiny gun?
- From: news.com.au
- September 19, 2012
AS ROGER Moore quipped in Live and Let Die, there's no sense going out half-cocked.
So it's disappointing to learn that the marketing department for Bond's latest adventure have failed to see the wisdom in his words.
The new one-sheet for Skyfall has Daniel Craig in a blue suit on his back in a dust cloud aiming his Walther PPK at some unseen enemy.
Compared to the guns in other action movie posters, the one Craig's holding looks tiny. The fact he is pointing it between his legs makes him look rather "inadequate".
Size does matter for Bond. The posters always claim that the latest adventure will be the biggest one yet, and more than a few Bond songs make reference to his "powerful weapon".
Look at the size of the whopper Bond's holding in his last film, Quantum of Solace. It's a beast!
Strangely enough, Craig gets irked when journalists ask about his package. While doing the publicity for Casino Royale everyone wanted to talk about his powder blue trunks, which made Craig feel like a piece of meat. Now he knows how Bond girls feel.

Oh come on! Don't be knocking Bond. He has a Walther PPK in the posters because that is his signature weapon. Ever since M confiscated his Baretta in Dr. No (in the movie and the book) with the explanation being it is to large and cumbersome and doesnt have the stopping power) Bond has always had the PPK as his signature weapon. In all honesty it needs to be viewed more frequesntly in Bond media rather then other weapons. Any Bond fan knows this.
Matt of Sydney Posted at 4:06 PM September 19, 2012
Uuummm, he's a spy. He needs a smaller gun so it can be concealed. A 20 metre tall robot doesn't need to be so restrained.
amlohac Posted at 3:41 PM September 19, 2012
Hes a (not so) secret agent. Having a massive gun is counter productive and hard to conceal. Duh. Also Optimus prime is 10 stories tall, it would be dumb for him to have a PPK welded to his arm. Obviously.

Hello All,
I've lived in NC for 2 years and before that NJ for 8 and before that in Ontario, Canada. NC's the place for me and we hope to be trading in our green cards for citizenship before the end of the year, if all goes well.
I've been researching hanguns and whatnot for the past few months. I've been going to a gun range a couple of times a week for the last 6 weeks, starting with .22's and trying almost all of the rental guns. I've been firing about 300-500 rounds a week. I really like the .45's. With a preference for 1911's. I love the history of the gun. And the way it fits.
And a big time lurker here. Lot's of good advice to gleaned with the use of the search button!
So I bought a 1911 today. A Nighthawk Talon. A better gun than I'll probably ever be a shooter. But I'm going to try.
Other hobbies are motorcycles, track days and sailing.

I installed Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 on my computer yesterday, and everything seems to be working fine so far, except that it isn't reading video or audio CD's and DVD's. At first, I inserted a DVD video, and it played normally for maybe 30-45 seconds before coming up with a "internal read error" or something like that. I was using the Totem player when the problem occurred, so I tried to install the VLC media player.
It wouldn't read the disc at all, so I uninstalled the player. Now, the Totem player won't even begin playing the DVD. The player sometimes doesn't even open up when I insert the DVD, and other times it will but says it can't read it. I've tried several different DVD's and CD's with similar results. The computer is recognizing the optical drive, because when I open "Files", it shows the drive and the disc, but can't play it. Previously, I ran Ubuntu 13.04 with the Gnome desktop installed from the software center, and I had no issues. Any help is appreciated!

The instant Tanara was free, she jumped to her feet and ran toward the rock Elaina had been sitting on. Though she was facing away from the ship, Elaina had occasionally looked back to it. When she saw Tanara running toward her, she slid off the rock and met her sister halfway.
"How could you?" Elaina asked quickly, hugging Tanara tightly. "How could you have put yourself in such danger for me?"
"The correct question is how could I have let Kira stay?" Tanara answered, returning her sister's hug. "Have you any idea what she did to you?"
"I... I don't," Elaina answered slowly, "but it... it wasn't much... was it?"
"More than you care to know," Tanara said. "She put you through a lot, turning you toward the Dark Side. She used the Force through you, though you had not been trained to do so. It had negative effects, all of which are nearly gone. Your skin has nearly returned to normal and so have your eyes."
"I still can't believe you would do that," Elaina said. Tanara smiled.
"I had to," she replied. "I have control over Kira, a thing you could never do. Unless..."
"Unless what?" Elaina demanded.
"Unless I were to train you," Tanara answered slowly. "You have the makings of a strong Jedi, Elaina. All you need is a little training and a little time. Kira's control over you did have some positive effects."

There has been a lot of talk leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos. A lot of it has been on Seahawks CB Richard Sherman and his post-NFC Championship Game rant due to his interaction with San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Bleacher Report stated on Jan. 22, 2014, that Sherman was mic'd up, and now it's known what he said at the end of the game.
At the end of the game, Sherman tipped a pass from Colin Kaepernick that was intended for Crabtree and it ended up being intercepted by Malcolm Smith to end the game.
Up until video was released by the NFL on Wednesday, all that fans could see was that Sherman ran up to Crabtree. Sherman looked to say something and was promptly shoved in the face by Crabtree. From there, the game soon ended and the Sherman rant to Erin Andrews took place.
The video now shows that Sherman simply ran up to Crabtree, stuck out his hand, and said:
"Hell of a game! Hell of a game!"
Crabtree shoved him in the face, and the rest is history.
Now, the Seattle Seahawks are on their way to play in the big game against the Denver Broncos, and the 49ers are back at home or have some players in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl.

Rumblings abound regarding head basketball coach Paul Hewitt's departure to St. John's. The Red Storm received permission to speak with Hewitt earlier this week, and a meeting took place Wednesday.
Now, it has been alleged that it's a done deal if Hewitt can convince his family to relocate to New York City. St. John's tried to get Hewitt back in '04, right after Tech completed its run to the national championship game.
If you need to catch up on all the high theater...Mark Bradley has a nice piece about it HERE, and Doug Roberson has another informative article HERE.
Bradley has it right: It's time for both parties to move on. Don't misunderstand me...I've always liked Paul Hewitt. He is a good coach (his staff, maybe not so much), he represents Tech the right way, and he is a good person. However, when the fan base is as fractured as it is, there is no choice but to cut the cord. Ask Chan Gailey...or even Bobby Cremins...how a divided fan base works out in the end.
Hewitt departing would be a win-win for all sides. Apathy about the hoops program is setting in, frustration runs rampant among fans, and Dan Radakovich knows it. D-Rad has become a Tech icon by hiring Paul Johnson, and would get a statute outside the Edge center if he makes a similar hire for the basketball program...and he knows it. Hewitt undoubtedly feels the discontentment (Twitter, anyone?) and would benefit from a fresh start. In short, this is a marriage gone bad, and even Dr. Paul Weston can't save it.
It would cost Tech over $7 million to buy out Hewitt's contract. If Hewitt leaves, he would "owe" Tech about $3.5 million. I say "owe" because it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the conversation between Dan Radakovich and Hewitt would go something like this:
Rad: "So, you gonna take that job?"
Hewitt: "I'm set for life if I don't; you know you can't afford to buy me out. You spent all your money on Paul Johnson."
Rad: "Res ipsa loquitur, there, buddy."
Hewitt: "It's cheap and inappropriate of you to talk about the contract."
Rad: "I'm your boss, dummy. I can fire you."
Hewitt: "Really? CAN you?"
Rad: "So, you gonna take that job? I know a LOT of great steakhouses in New York."
Hewitt: "I bet you do. But we'll see, about that 'buyout' it says I'll owe."
Rad: "Oh, that? Get me a Frosted Orange from the V and we'll call it even."
Stay tuned, folks.

Amanda Xydis to perform senior vocal recital
Amanda Xydis, senior at Sterling College, will perform her senior recital at the Sterling United Presbyterian Church on Friday, May 10. The vocal recital will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will last approximately 50 minutes. The public is invited to attend this free event.
Xydis's recital is titled "τέσσερα," Greek for "Four." The title was chosen because the recital will be divided into four sections and is dedicated to the memory of Xydis's dad and grandmother who were both Greek.
Xydis will perform a variety of pieces in fulfillment of her B.A. in Music with a vocal emphasis and minors in English and Theatre. Her songs will be performed in four segments including grief, love, joy and hope, each representing a year of her journey at Sterling College. The sections will include arias from various operas, art songs and musical theatre pieces.
Over the past four years, Xydis performed in the musicals "Working," "Pirates of Penzance" and "Godspell." She has also been a member of Sterling College choral groups and been an officer in the Musicians at Sterling College club.
Xydis is from Ann Arbor, Mich., and is the daughter of Kathleen Xydis. She will be attending graduate school at the University of Northern Colorado for vocal performance in the fall.

Dear All,
I have a problem of one of the queues(in SMQ2-inbount) in CRM 5.0 is struck with SYSFAIL error.
The queue name is R3AI_DNL_COND_A005.
When I double click the queue entry I get an Error: Message No 999999. Log directory is full.
Even reseting the status does not work.
Please help.
Hi Raj,
Can you look in SMW01 and provide the log details. Smq2 doesnt tell much about the errors sometimes.
It might be one of these. If helpful pls reward points
1. Check the SMWBDOC table spaces. If full bump them up or re-org them.
2. I believe you are connected to IPC, pls check IPC log file directories too.
I have checked the tablespace of SMWBDOC, its just 79% full. Lots remaining. Will check out for the IPC log directory.
What could be the other reason, have searched for this error message in SDN/SAP service, but no success.
I have even tried to reset the status, but it again gives the same error.
Please help.
Hi Raj,
Is the issue happening with only this condition object? Did you able to download other condition objects?
Please let me know

Hi Rajeet,
Did you get a chance to check the IPC log directories
Also usually for a sysfail message you can check the smw01
You will see a bdoc with status F05. What does it say there?
Please award point if this helps.
