Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "A believer should not be stung twice from the same hole." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
During the Battle of Badr, one of the disbelievers taken prisoner by the Muslims was Abu Azzah, a poet who often attacked Islam and the Prophet. When the Prophet decided that the prisoners could be freed in return for ransom, Abu Azzah spoke to the Prophet and appealed to him to grant his release without a ransom, because he was poor and had a family to support. The Prophet granted his request after the man pledged that he would never criticize the Prophet or attack Islam. However, soon after he was granted his freedom, Abu Azzah reverted to insulting the Prophet and bad mouthing Islam in his poetry. Some time later, he was again taken prisoner by the Muslims. Again he appealed to the Prophet for his release, protesting that he had a poor family to support. In reply to his appeals, the Prophet made this statement: "A believer is not stung from the same hole twice." and ordered him to be killed.

College Hockey:Providance Slams Maine
Three Third Period Goals Break Open Game
ORONO, Maine — There would be many who would have scoffed at the notion that Providence College, winners of just one of seven previous starts, could be competitive with No. 11 Maine.
However, Friday night, the Friars didn't merely compete with the Black Bears; they all but dismantled them, torching Maine for three third period goals on its way to a stunning 6-2 thrashing of the Black Bears, much to the dismay of the sellout throng of 5,445 at Alfond Arena.
Defenseman Matt Taormina enjoyed a career night, notching five points (two goals, three assists) while Nick Mazzolini chipped in a goal and two assists.
"We go into every game thinking we are better," said Taormina. "It's kind of the mentality that you have to have. Our record (now 2-5-1, 2-2-1 HEA) obviously doesn't show it, but it's nice to get this win and show everybody in the hockey world that we're up there."
The Friars came out sky high, shocking their hosts by outshooting them 13-6 in the first period and outscoring them 2-1.
"We were coming off a sluggish loss to BU and we knew if we came out like that, we were going to get buried again," said Mazzolini
Instead, it was the Friars attack that plowed Maine under the weight of a 39-17 shot disparity.
"It was just a good, old fashioned butt kicking in every aspect of the game," said Black Bears' coach Tim Whitehead. "I hate to say it, but we coaches kind of sensed it a little bit this week. In practice, I felt we were getting a little happy, so to speak."
Pierce Norton and Jon Rheault gave the Friars a two goal lead before Maine freshman Andrew Sweetland cut the margin to one at 12:25.
Norton's tally came at 3:58 when he wristed in his third goal of the season past Black Bears' goalie Ben Bishop from the top of the right circle. Rheault followed at 10:53, scoring on a breakaway by roofing a 10-footer.
Sweetland halted the Black Bears' slide when, standing untouched at the right post, he banged in his own rebound past Friars' senior netminder Tyler Sims, who had re-emerged after spotty play put him on the bench for three straight games.
Sweetland got the equalizer too, rapping in Rob Bellamy's cross ice feed on a power play to make it 2-2 at 9:36 of the second stanza.
However, the Friars rebounded quickly, regaining the lead just 1:11 later on Matt Taorminas short-handed goal. Taormina snuck in from the blue line and took a dish from Mazzolini, blasting it past Bishop.
Early in the third, Sims came up with the biggest of his 15 saves, stopping Simon Danis-Pepin's backhander from the edge of the goal crease.
"It was a very easy read for me," said Sims. "All I had to do is come over and drop into a nice butterfly. He actually had a good shot; he got it over my pad, but I was just able to tip it with the glove.
"I knew I needed to come in and play well for us to win. The biggest thing was just to give our team a chance to win, but you're not going to win in this league unless guys score, especially on a goalie like Bishop."
Less than a minute later, at 6:03, Mazzolini turned from playmaker to finisher, threading a slap shot through a screen to make it 4-2, and putting Bishop on the bench for the first time this season.
Providence popped in two more on backup goalie David Wilson to complete the rout.
"It never works out the way you plan," joked Friars' coach Tim Army. "But I think we've played better than our record would indicate. We were skating. We won a lot of battles, and that translated into some goals. If you do that any night, you give yourself a chance to have some success."

The suspect in a robbery of a Vancouver Wells Fargo said he held up the bank to "get in a shootout with police," according to court documents available Tuesday.
"I don't want to live anymore," he reportedly told a Vancouver police investigator following the robbery.
Stephen A. Lubeck, 19, of Vancouver survived being shot in the upper leg by a police officer. Escorted in a wheelchair by two custody officers, Lubeck made his first appearance Tuesday morning in Clark County Superior Court.
Judge John Wulle set bail at $500,000. Lubeck is being held in jail on suspicion of first-degree robbery, first-degree assault and first-degree kidnapping.
Defense attorney Robert Vukanovich was appointed to represent him. Lubeck will be arraigned Dec. 16.
According to court documents filed Tuesday morning, Lubeck allegedly began thinking about committing a robbery about a month in advance as a suicide plot. The night before, he purchased a BB gun at a Walmart and allegedly carried it with him, unloaded, to the bank.
After entering the branch at 8211 N.E. Vancouver Mall Drive the afternoon of Dec. 1, Lubeck allegedly pointed the gun at patrons and ordered them from the building. Then, he ushered two bank employees into the bank vault. He escaped with $300,000, Deputy Prosecutor Mike Dodds told the judge.
In an interview at the hospital, Lubeck told an investigator that after he heard the police sirens, "he initially ran south from the bank … 'I wanted him to take me out,' " he said, according to a probable cause affidavit by Vancouver police Detective Wally Stefan.
He ran behind the nearby Ross Dress for Less store. When confronted by Vancouver police Officer Jeffrey Anaya, Lubeck allegedly pointed the gun — believed at that point to be a semiautomatic pistol — and told Anaya to shoot him or he would shoot in five seconds, investigators said.
Anaya fired his gun, hitting Lubeck in the upper leg. One of the multiple rounds hit and shattered the back window of the officer's patrol car, which was parked in the area, an investigator said.
Lubeck was rushed to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, where he was hospitalized for several days before being booked in the Clark County Jail on Monday.
Anaya was placed on paid leave, pending the outcome of an investigation, which is standard after police shootings.
Lubeck told an investigator he was upset that police didn't kill him. " 'I didn't do it for the money,' " Lubeck stated. " 'I still want to die,' " according to Stefan's affidavit.

SEATTLE - Lorenzo Romar told the story to his team the other day.
The coach and I were discussing it again in the tunnel leading to the Alaska Airlines Arena floor minutes after last weekend's stunningly lopsided home loss to Colorado State.
It's not what the Chicken Littles can -- or even want -- to hear right now, but Romar's Huskies have been here before.
Four Novembers ago, to be exact.
"We lost to Portland on the road to begin the season," the coach said of Washington's memorable 2008-09 campaign. "We came back home and won two games at home. And then we played at the Sprint Center in Kansas City and lost to Florida and Kansas.
"We were 2-3. It was time to shut down the program at that point."
He had some clout when he told his depleted, sputtering team this tale before it got waxed on the glass 45-21 and lost 73-55 last Saturday to Colorado State. Romar has won five conference regular-season or tournament titles, made six NCAA tournaments, reached three Sweet 16s, and has been the league's coach of the year three times (including last season) in his 11 years leading UW. His 190 wins the last eight seasons is the most in school history over a span that long.
But his Huskies enter tonight's unexpectedly pivotal, 9 p.m. game against Saint Louis (3-2) having lost two consecutive home non-conference games for the first time since December 2000.
Romar wasn't around then. He was still about a year and half from replacing Bob Bender as UW's coach.
Romar has won five conference regular-season or tournament titles, made six NCAA tournaments, reached three Sweet 16s, and has been the league's coach of the year three times.
But he still vividly remembers the last time the Huskies were where they find themselves today, at 2-3 with people criticizing his team, his program, his choice of suits - you name it.
"It was bad around here. It was bad," Romar said. "Because we were coming off two years when we hadn't been to the NCAA tournament. Didn't make any postseasons - except the CBI."
What did Washington do from there?
Turns out Romar didn't shut down the program, after all.
Those Huskies won their next nine games and 13 of the next 14, the only loss coming in triple overtime to California. They ended up 24-6 the rest of that season, 14-4 in the Pac-10. They won their first outright regular-season conference title in a half century. They got ranked as high as 13th before they beat Mississippi State in first round of the NCAAs and lost by two to Purdue in the second round.
"You know me, I always see the silver lining," Romar said of that last 2-3 start. "We won the league championship for the first time in 53 years. And that's what people remember.
"We remind our team now about that. It was early. Really early."
OK, time for the rub: Those 2008-09 Huskies had Jon Brockman, the best rebounder in the program's history, willing them back from that slow start. They had Quincy Pondexter emerging as a star that eventually joined Brockman as an NBA draft pick. They had Justin Dentmon re-establishing himself late that season as an indispensible asset outside.
And, oh, yeah, they had a diminutive freshman point guard with a determination and personality larger than Hec Edmundson Pavilion. You may have heard of Isaiah Thomas.
Yet those guys lost at Portland to start that '08-09 season, the one that began Washington's current streak of four consecutive league regular-season or conference tournament championships.
These Huskies have lost at home to Albany, gone to Connecticut to beat Seton Hall and hang with No. 4 Ohio State before eventually losing by 11 in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament, then returned home to lose by 18 to Colorado State.
"Are we accepting what has happened? No way whatsoever. It should never have happened," Romar said. "(But) we are going to be all right. We've got guys coming back. We've got guys coming off injuries that are going to be able to help our team.
"We've got to continue to work, continue to get better."
In the tunnel Saturday, on his way back onto the court to talk to Bob Rondeau and Jason Hamilton on the Huskies' radio postgame show, Romar said: "I really try to stay away from excuses, but that ('08-09 team) team didn't have any injuries."
Oh, yes, the injuries.
Are we accepting what has happened? No way whatsoever. But we are going to be all right. We've got guys coming off injuries that are going to be able to help our team.
Scott Suggs will miss his second consecutive game and third in five starts tonight. He had a concussion earlier this month. Now he has a tear in the tendon across the arch of his right foot. He was shuffling along on crutches Tuesday to the training room still wearing a protective boot. Romar says his senior co-captain, outside scorer and steady veteran defender is more "week to week" than he is day to day.
Shawn Kemp Jr. has yet to play this regular season after tearing a patella (knee) tendon. He may not return until later in December. Romar calls him the team's best low-post scoring threat.
Think the 6-foot-9 sophomore power forward may have been able to help Aziz N'Diaye in what seemed like a one-against-five fight for rebounds last weekend? Not to mention the scoring boost he and Suggs will provide when they get healthy, expectedly before Pac-12 play begins Jan. 5 at Washington State.
"We're talking 20 to 25 more points per game if those guys play," Romar said.
C.J. Wilcox tried to do it all himself against Colorado State, slashing to a career-high 28 points while taking a career-high 25 shots. The junior sharpshooter will need to stay more aggressive driving to the rim as Suggs remains out and opponents' scouting reports demand Wilcox's outside shot be taken away.
Here's what else needs to happen:
- First and foremost, as with all Romar squads, defense must carry the team. It usually takes the Huskies until January to fully execute the nuances of playing help and deny, man-to-man defense the way their coach wants. The sooner the better this season. Romar is going to try to accelerate that progress by featuring this longer, taller roster's strengths more. He's going to stick N'Diaye and 6-10 redshirt freshman Jernard Jarreau inside more zone sets, likely beginning tonight.
- Andrew Andrews needs to take full advantage of the green light Romar is giving the redshirt freshman to penetrate and score. Andrews is a fearless, almost brash scorer who was the Oregon Class 5A state co-player of the year two seasons ago at Benson Tech in Portland. He scored 41 points in the state high school championship game. He's an unknown weapon overdue for deployment. He's made just six of 24 shots so far this season while averaging 25 minutes per game backing up and playing with point guard Abdul Gaddy.
- Desmond Simmons needs to become a rebounding force to help the 7-foot N'Diaye down low. Simmons is 6-7 and valuable making scrapping hustle plays all over the floor. But N'Diaye currently has more than 34 percent of the team's rebounding total (55 of the team's 163 total boards) while playing 15.6 percent of UW's total minutes. Aziz can't box out three guys at once. Simmons must be the second force on the glass until Kemp returns - and beyond that. Simmons is averaging 5.8 rebounds per game to N'Diaye's 11.0. "I feel like I underachieved as far as rebounding," he said after grabbing four against Colorado State.
- Gaddy must become Thomas-like. Not in his game; there aren't many as bodacious and skilled as I.T. But Gaddy needs to become more forceful in his personality, on and off the floor, with this younger, developing team. Gaddy, Thomas' friend and fellow Tacoma native spent the previous three years playing with cool poise while letting the more dominant personalities of Isaiah and, last season, Tony Wroten, lead. Now Gaddy knows he needs to be more aggressive.
Some of that is by necessity, with Suggs out. Some of it is also Gaddy acting upon the message Romar sent Saturday. The coach had his senior co-captain spend the final half-dozen or so minutes of the Colorado State loss on the bench next to him. Romar explained to Gaddy how he should not have allowed his 4-for-12 shooting day from the field carry into his 0-for-3 performance at the foul line and multiple defensive lapses.
Romar says Gaddy has "really stepped it up vocally" this week.
"Just talking to guys, making sure we keep our heads in it," Gaddy said. "We know it's a long season. It's not a marathon, it's a sprint. That's the main thing."
Gaddy has vowed to ensure there will be no repeat in March of what happened last spring, the Huskies being stunned at being left out of the NCAA tournament despite winning another conference title.
Now, while the Dawgs seek to stay afloat until Suggs and Kemp return, is the time for Gaddy to make good on that assurance.
And he knows it.
"I'm the captain of the team, and everybody looks to me for certain answers," he said Tuesday. "We are 2-3 right now, but anything can happen. It can easily turn around. Or it can easily go to 2-6, which we don't want to have happen.
"Now, we know how bad we can be. We know that if we don't bring it things like that (last weekend) can happen. ... (Saint Louis) resembles a lot of other teams we will be facing down the road. It will be a good test for us."
Abdul's been good, very good for months. So we're not going to throw out everything for one game.
Beyond all that, beyond waiting for Suggs to return in a week or two and Kemp next month, I asked Romar if there are any parallels he can draw between this 2-3 team and the one that turned around so historically four seasons ago.
"I just think it took a while," he said. "Isaiah Thomas was a freshman, had the ball in his hand a lot. Had to mature and grow. Late in that year Justin Dentmon came on. Some guys stepped up. Quincy started to step up, played really well."
I asked him if that what he is now looking for Gaddy to do for this team, step up and lead it back.
"He will," Romar said after the Colorado State loss. "Again, Gregg, you know I am a guy of patterns. And this was one game. Abdul's been good, very good for months. So we're not going to throw out everything for one game."
They are, however, going to throw everything they have into tonight's game against a Saint Louis team that whacked them in Missouri 12 months ago. And into the next seven games that are all in Seattle before UW plays at Connecticut Dec. 29, too.
It's time to make up for a sputtering November.
Time to make like it's 2008-09 all over again.
"Come back. Regroup, Understand we can't keep saying it's early in the season because it won't be after a while - but it is early," Romar said.
"I think our guys will come back with more of a physical presence."

As the week has proceeded, though, the deal has been declared all but dead, according to what sources revealed to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. This could be a leverage play by K.C., but let's examine how the Chiefs would operate with both Albert and No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher on the roster this fall.

I'm finally back in Berlin, back in 'real' civilization. Berlin still appears a bit too noisy to me but that's only because Northern Hesse is just so rural and calm. So, it took me quite some time to find a moment to take care of my blog again.
However, I've got a lot to write about. On my two field trips I've gained a lot of experience I want to share with you. All in all, I took more than 320 photos of the landscape, our group of academics and students, the two accomodations and of course of the geology and several interesting close-ups. In the next days, I'm going to show you some of them.
Moreover, I prepare a blog entry about a FU Berlin short course on "organic petrology and geochemistry of petroleum source rocks - principles, methods and applications" I took part in with The Lost Geologist this week.

Bucknell's Audrey Dotson scored 22 points in the Bison's loss at Yale Saturday.
Jan. 5, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - A pair of Patriot League women's basketball teams were victorious on the last Saturday of non-League competition in 2012-13.
Freshman Jamie O'Hare had a breakout game with a career-high 18 points as Lafayette (6-8) stifled Brown 56-32 at Kirby Sports Center Saturday afternoon. It's the fewest points allowed in nearly 21 years by the Leopards, matching the 32 points surrendered Feb. 5, 1992 in a 55-32 win over Holy Cross. O'Hare added eight rebounds and four assists, while Danielle Fiacco recorded a double-double of 12 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks, and Emily Homan scored 11 with four rejections and four dishes. The Leopards jumped out to a 10-4 lead and later orchestrated a 25-6 run to take a 37-17 lead at halftime. The lead was never in any serious danger in the second, as the Leopard defense allowed Brown just five field goals and 17 percent shooting, including a 1-of-14 showing from the field.
Katie O'Reilly sank 1 of 2 from the free throw line with four seconds left and it was the difference as Lehigh pulled to .500 (7-7) with a 46-45 win at NJIT Saturday afternoon. Freshman Kerry Kinek led all scorers with 17 points and just missed a double-double with nine rebounds, while Sarah Pearce and Marybeth Egan scored six apiece for the Mountain Hawks. Lehigh led 26-15 with less than three minutes to go in the first, but the Highlanders used a 14-0 run that spanned the end of the first and beginning of the second to take a three-point lead. It took Lehigh until the 6:30 mark of the second to regain the lead on a Kinek layup to make it a 40-38 game. A pair of free throws put NJIT in front 44-43 with 2:49 left, and then Kinek and Pearce both went 1 of 2 from the stripe on consecutive possessions to give Lehigh a 45-44 lead with two minutes to play. Keeping with the theme, NJIT hit 1 of 2 from the line on its next crack at the basket roughly 30 seconds later setting up O'Reilly's game-winning turn at the line.
Audrey Dotson had another monster game up front, scoring 22 points on 10 of 13 from the floor, but Bucknell couldn't overcome four Bulldogs scoring in double figures as the Bison fell 82-62 in New Haven, Conn., Saturday. Lindsay Horbatuck and Rachel Voss scored seven points apiece, while Horbatuck also pulled down nine rebounds. Yale started the game on a 6-0 run and expanded the lead to double figures for the first time at 25-14 at the 6:16 mark of the first half. The Bulldogs extended the lead to 16 before Bucknell chipped away and settled for a 39-26 halftime deficit. The Bison cut Yale's lead to single digits less than three minutes in, but the Bulldogs pulled away approaching the midway point of the second half with a 17-2 run. Yale shot 8 of 22 from beyond the arc to Bucknell's 2 of 8, and turned 26 Bison turnovers into 36 points.
Four games dot Sunday's schedule, including a pair to open the day at 2 p.m. The slate begins with Colgate at UNC Charlotte and Holy Cross visiting Fordham. American is home for Hampton at 4:30 p.m., and Army finishes the day at 5:30 p.m. at Morgan State.
at Lafayette 56, Brown 32
Lehigh 46, at NJIT 45

11 thoughts on "MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM GEORGE CARLIN"
Politicians hiding behind 3 things: Flag, Bible & Children.
This is not comedy, this is a bold commentary on the State of the Union i.e.a public service message.
George Carlin.. a true American hero . RIP
George Carlin
The best self help instructor the world has ever known.
The only thing that separates George Carlin from the overwhelming majority of men in this country is that he refused to surrender his balls to the establishment. We're all born with them, such a shame to see so many cast aside along the way. He said what he wanted to say, at any time, for any reason, and in any company he chose. And he was LOUD about it. Where's the current analogue? Stewart and Colbert? Not even close. Funny, yes. Wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries of the media-industrial complex, resounding yes.
if you listen to carlin long enough you can become what he sounds like, a bitter old man. the basis of his comedy is that he doesn't believe in anything or anyone. he looked behind every curtain to find falsehood and pretense, he found it. if you look up the definition of cynic in the dictionary, yep, carlin. the father of modern tv crap dialogue and rap music lyrics. dirty language is fine for TBP readers, they have the intelligence to handle the nuances of various strong words. making filth talk the substance of tv comedy for general consumption was a horrible outcome of george's campaign to get rid of censors.
right in the middle of my comment, i said it is alright for TBP readers. use any laguage you like i understand TBP is a free for all and no one should come here without their thickest hide. my criticism is that carlin's career had given us TV full of carlinist trash talk, although movies in the 60's began to use foul language, it was george leading the fight to remove censorship from TV. As for his humor and social commentary, it is funny because it is insightful, as with mad magazine and many comics, pointing out human foibles of americans is a great way to succeed as americans love to laugh at themselves
"Scanning the net …… Carlin's estimated Net Worth at the time of his death ranges from $100 million to as high as $300 million."-Stucky
Which just goes to show that even $300M doesn't get you "in the club" running the show here. Just makes you a well paid entertainer.
The folks at the top control far more than this, $Trillions$ really, possibly $Quadrillions$ when talking Derivatives.$300M is Chump Change. I should know. A PIcasso there, a Monet there, doesn't buy you a ticket into the Club. LOL.
George may have a point. This one's just not a "fat motherfucker":

Miles Davis: Surrey with the Fringe on Top
Surrey With the Fringe On Top
Miles Davis (trumpet)
Steaminĺ (Prestige 7200)
Miles Davis (trumpet), John Coltrane (tenor sax), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Philly Joe Jones (drums).
Recorded: Hackensack, NJ, May 11, 1956
Rating: 91/100 (learn more)
Miles Davis, artwork by Michael Symonds
With a new contract and limitless opportunities waiting for him at Columbia Records, Miles Davis cut four albums in two marathon sessions to honor his existing contract with Prestige. While the albums may have been hastily recorded, the results were nothing less than spectacular. Davis asserts himself as the ultimate melodist on ôSurrey With the Fringe On Top,ö demonstrating his astonishing ability to capture the essence of any theme and make it his own. His interpretation of the melody blends seamlessly into his spacious improvisation, during which his muted trumpet speaks with warmth and elegance and an ever-present casual coolness.

A reader of out parent-site Autoblog.it has sent us these spy photos of the new Maserati Quattroporte, spotted in Naples while undergoing some testing in the Vomero district. The camouflage worn by this prototype doesn't allow us to see much of the rear section of the car, but we can get a pretty good idea of how the layout of the tail-lights will eventually look like. What we already know is that under the hood there should be a 4.7-litre V8 engine delivering 475 hp coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission courtesy from German specialist ZF, and that the new Quattroporte should also turn out to be slightly longer than the current version in order to make room in Maserati's range for an upcoming baby variant.

From Fall 2009:
Spotlight on: Community Partner PEPPThe Penn State Educational Partnership Program (PEPP) has been an invaluable partner to many students and faculty at our campus. Part of the College of Education-Office of Multicultural Programs, PEPP operates after school enrichment programs in McKeesport area schools that allow college students to gain field experience working with diverse groups of students while exploring education as a career field. PEPP employs Penn State students as Learning Assistants in these after school programs, and also partners with faculty from different academic areas on community engagement projects. Psychology students have developed and taught programs related to self-esteem, goal-setting, and personal well-being. Photography students have used PEPP as the focus of their photojournalism projects (the photo above was taken by photography student Sofiya Mozley). Last spring, students in the ACE program developed a college prep workshop that they presented to PEPP participants. These are just a few of the many community engagement projects PEPP has been a part of at Penn State Greater Allegheny.
From Summer/Fall 2009:
Spotlight on: Engineering Design 100
In this foundational engineering design course taught by Dr. George Crawford and Dr. Eric Lipsky, students participate in a professional speaker series and community engagement projects. Professionals from different engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, etc.) are invited to speak to the class about their companies, career paths, and the role that their particular company plays in the local and global communities. Past speakers have included engineers from Westinghouse, GE, Allegheny Power, National Instruments, Mathews Marketing Products, Alion Science and Technology, PennTap, CDM, US Steel, Crucible Research, Elliott Company, and others.
In spring of 2009, students in this course also participated in a grant-funded program called Toys 'N More. Engineering Design students designed a toy, and then visited Maplewood Kids, a daycare center and preschool in McKeesport, to present their toys to local children. Engineering students also incorporated community engagement into a project with Lego robots, teaching visiting students from Gateway High School how to program the robots to dance. Through these projects, students gained practical experience not only with engineering design,but also with planning and communication skills needed in any career field.

Oregon's Green rock Ophilites
Oregon's geology would be boring without multiple odd green mineralized Ophilites. Without Ophilites, all of Oregon is basically prehistoric lava flows deposits or erosional volcanic sediments (i.e. sandstone) heading into the Pacific Ocean.
Ophilites are the colorful twist of nature that brought in gold and other valuable minerals to Oregonians. The cover photo shows some colorful gemstones found in Oregon Ophilites.
If you have seen green "Snakeskin" serpentine rock layers in your travels around Oregon, you have seen a prehistoric "Subduction Zone".
Moreover, Oregon's Jade comes from Subduction Zones and the last article in December explores China passion for Ancient Jade; as the world's known supplies are rapidly being exhausted outside Oregon.
"Geologists have a saying - rocks remember."
Neil Armstrong
Though today the TV news reports may seem more urgent as a warning on a future massive earthquake along our current Oregon's floating "Ophilites" or "Subduction Zone" off our coast line about 40 miles west of Newport Oregon.
Here are some excellent websites to study Oregon's next mega quake:
Oregon Earthquake Commission Predicts Potential Catastrophe
"It is impossible to predict exactly when an earthquake will strike, but the Pacific Northwest is due for a 9.0 magnitude quake along the Cascadia subduction zone — as early as the next 50 years. According to a recent resiliency report by the Oregon Seismic Safety Policy Advisory Commission (OSSPAC), also known as the Earthquake Commission, such an earthquake would devastate much of western Oregon. Buildings would crumble; bridges would fall; and thousands of people would die. Oregon would be looking at $32 billion in economic losses.
The Earthquake Commission's Resiliency Plan contains a series of recommendations for the legislature's consideration, including statewide renovations to schools, highways and emergency response facilities in preparation for the quake and subsequent tsunami. (You can see a pdf draft summary here.)
Are you prepared for a major earthquake where you live or work?
Here is another source:
Oregon's Next Huge Earthquake: Not If, But When
"Following the deadly magnitude-9.0 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011, Oregon legislators commissioned a study of the impact a similar quake could have on the state, according to the Associated Press….The report, "Oregon Resilience Plan: Reducing Risk and Improving Recovery for the Next Cascadia Earthquake and Tsunami," was presented to legislators Thursday (March 14, 2013).
The seismically active region has felt temblors before, most notably a massive earthquake and tsunami in January 1700 that wiped out entire forests in what is now Oregon and Washington and caused a deadly tsunami in Japan, thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean. [Waves of Destruction: History's Biggest Tsunamis]
"This earthquake will hit us again," Kent Yu, chair of the commission that developed the report, told Oregon legislators, according to the Daily Mail. "It's just a matter of how soon."
Mega Tsunami to Hit Northwest? Experts Report Mega-Quake Is Overdue; How Do We Prepare?
By Philip Ross on March 15, 2013
The attached NOAA YouTube video below shows what all Pacific Northwest residents should learn today; as the local Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquakes t are coming. It is not a question of "if"; it is a question of when.
The author hopefully wants to prepare and protect all the readers and friends and their families out there!
This article will not delve further into this well publicized future PNW quake potential threat; as it been well covered. But the Up side to earthquake's high pressures and heat and mixing and time is Jade and other commercial gem stone very popular in China today!
Thankful for our Oregon Jade & China's passion for it!
Frankly, this natural, huge, factory like retort is how Nature makes Jade and other gems is made out of very rare surface deposits of deep forest green serpentine with earthquakes!
In a chemistry laboratory, a retort is a glassware device used for distillation or dry distillation of substances. It consists of a spherical vessel with a long downward-pointing neck. The liquid to be distilled is placed in the vessel and heated. The neck acts as a condenser, allowing the vapors to condense and flow along the neck to a collection vessel placed underneath.[1]
In the chemical industry, a retort is an airtight vessel in which substances are heated for a chemical reaction producing gaseous products to be collected in a collection vessel or for further processing. Such industrial-scale retorts are used in shale oil extraction and the production of charcoal. A process of heating oil shale to produce shale oil, shale gas, and spent shale is commonly called retorting.
In the food industry, pressure cookers are often referred to as retorts, meaning "canning retorts".
Oregon's unique and rare very serious earthquakes, do literally cook these gems. Maybe more importantly, after the several hundred year cycle-quakes, this fact will explain why Oregon has Jade to sell to China.
Readers, there is a world-wide shortage of commercial jade sources now and high quality gems have always been very precious.
What Is an Ophilites?
"The earliest geologists were puzzled by a peculiar set of rock types in the European Alps like nothing else found on land: bodies of dark and heavy peridotite associated with deep… bodies of serpentinite, with a thin cap of deep-sea sedimentary rocks.
In 1821 Alexandre Brongniart named this assemblage ophilites ("snake stone" in scientific Greek) after its distinctive exposures of serpentinite ("snake stone" in scientific Latin). Fractured, altered and faulted, with almost no fossil evidence to date them, ophilites was a stubborn mystery until plate tectonics revealed their important role.
Readers we rarely see what is going on below our Pacific sea floor surface in Oregon, but rare ophilites bring the abyss chemistry up to the surface for all to see.
Seafloor Origin of Ophiolites
A hundred and fifty years after Brongniart, the advent of plate tectonics gave ophilites a place in the big cycle: they appear to be small pieces of oceanic crust that have been attached to the continents.
Until the mid-20th century program we didn't know just how the seafloor is constructed, but once we did the resemblance with Ophiolites was persuasive. The seafloor is covered with a layer of deep-sea clay and siliceous ooze, which grows thinner as we approach the mid-ocean ridges. There the surface is revealed as a thick layer of pillow basalt, black lava erupted in round loaves that form in the deep cold seawater….
"Beneath the pillow basalt are the vertical dikes that feed the basalt magma to the ocean bottom surface. These dikes are so abundant that in many places the crust is nothing but dikes, lying together like slices in a bread loaf. They clearly form at a spreading center like the mid-ocean ridge, where the two sides are constantly spreading apart allowing magma to rise between them. (See more at "Divergent Zones in a Nutshell.")
Beneath these "sheeted dike complexes" are bodies of gabbro, or coarse-grained basaltic rock, and beneath them are the huge bodies of peridotite that make up the upper mantle. (Have a look at all these rocks in the ophiolitic rocks picture gallery.) The partial melting of peridotite is what gives rise to the overlying gabbro and basalt (see "About the Earth's Crust"). And when hot peridotite reacts with seawater, the product is the soft and slippery serpentinite that is so common in Ophiolites. (See more about serpentinization.)
This detailed resemblance led geologists in the 1960s to a working hypothesis: Ophiolites are tectonic fossils of ancient deep seafloor.
Above is what Pacific Ocean drilling of the sea floor has found; but what happens in rare ophilites/earthquake phenomena?
"Ophiolites Disruption
Ophiolites differ from intact seafloor crust in some important ways, most notably in that they aren't intact. Ophiolites are almost always broken apart, so the peridotite, gabbro, sheeted dikes and lava layers don't stack up nicely for the geologist. Instead they are usually strewn along mountain ranges in isolated bodies. As a result, very few Ophiolites have all the parts of the typical oceanic crust. Sheeted dikes are usually what are missing.
The pieces must be painstakingly correlated with each other using radiometric dates and rare exposures of the contacts between rock types. Movement along faults can be estimated in some cases to show that separated pieces were once connected…."
"The more we study Ophiolites, the less we can assume about them. If no sheeted dikes can be found, for instance, we cannot infer them just because Ophiolites are supposed to have them.
The chemistry of many Ophiolites rocks does not quite match the chemistry of mid-ocean ridge rocks…."

Although he expressed his support for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama very clearly in
Mixtape Monday earlier this week, an interview in the new issue of Vibe has led Young Jeezy to post a video and issue a press release clarifying his position.
In the magazine's August issue, Jeezy is quoted as saying "No disrespect to Barack, but I f— with [presumptive Republican candidate] John McCain." According to the press release, the quote came "moments after" Jeezy shook McCain's hand on the set of Saturday Night Live in May; McCain appeared on the show and Jeezy performed with Usher. Jeezy added in the article, "I like Barack, but at the same time I wanted to see what McCain was talking about."
However, the MC is eager to emphasize his support for Obama and posted a four-minute video — which finds him wearing the "My President Is Black" T-shirt he's worn frequently in recent weeks — on his Web site to clarify his position.
"I represent the Democratic party. … I've never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter," he says in the video. "I support Barack Obama."
He also said he had intended to say "No disrespect to McCain, but I f— with Obama," and added that the uproar over his comments has "showed me the power of words."
Jeezy expressed his support for Obama emphatically in Mixtape Monday. "Barack, he has a lot of things going for him," the MC said. "He's ahead of his time. Given the right chance, he'll make some type of change. We'll feel it. I really feel that. John McCain is cool, but he looks like a fraud to me."
He also spoke about his encounter with McCain on SNL. "I told him the 'hood was f—ed up, and he was like, 'How you doing?' " Jeezy recalled. "Real talk. They know entertainers, so they shake your hand [and say], 'I'm your friend.' But my mama is about to have surgery that I gotta pay for out of my pocket because she can't get insurance. I don't really feel McCain. It ain't just because Barack is black; he can make change. Just like Bush equals recession, Barack equals progression. I really feel that, all bullsh– aside. He's gotta come in and keep it right."
The MC's third LP, The Recession, is slated for release this summer. He's set to premiere the song "My President Is Black" on his Web site on Monday.

School Resource Officer
Sutter County Sheriff School Resource Officer Program places law enforcement officers (SRO) in schools with the goal of developing partnerships with teachers, students, and school administrators. Those partnerships are the building blocks of problem solving and creating a positive influence on the students.
SRO Akin interacting with...
...local school students
A goal of the program is for students and deputies to develop partnerships and foster respect and trust between them. It is these partnerships that allow the free flow of information to law enforcement that can not only prevent crime, but aides in developing a safe environment for all. The program also reflects the desire of the community to ensure that the schools operate in a safe, secure, and orderly fashion.
The SRO program also reflects a proactive strategy designed to bring prevention and intervention into the schools. By being on campus, the SRO can often prevent problems from occurring. When problems do arise, the SRO may be able to intervene quickly and address what is taking place. A SRO is also able to contribute to the overall safe school planning efforts and act as a resource for the school when an emergency may occur. Currently, the Sheriff's Office has two deputies assigned to the SRO program.
Those wishing to speak with a Resource Officer can call the Sheriff's Office at (530) 822-7307, and ask to speak with an SRO Deputy.

In some interesting news, TNA Impact Wrestling has started to circulate some stories that claim the American Wolves chose not to sign with the WWE. According to PWS on Jan. 21, the American Wolves claimed they turned down the longer try-out with the WWE to instead sign with TNA Impact Wrestling.
This flies in the face of previous rumors that indicated that The American Wolves had their longer try-out rescinded by Triple H and were not invited back. As always, the truth is probably somewhere in between the two.
The original story was that The American Wolves showed up at NXT for a try-out match and battled The Ascension. When the match ended, it sounded like everyone was happy with the way it turned out and both Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards were invited back for a longer try-out as "interns."
If they continued to impress WWE officials, they would be called up as a tag team. However after that, more rumors circulate that Triple H was angry at the two because Davey was dropped on his head in the match and Triple H told the referee to get the match over with. However, the four men continued on for longer and then finished. Triple H allegedly was angry that they did not end when he told them to and cancelled the longer try-outs for the Wolves.
The American Wolves then showed up on TNA Impact Wrestling last week and it turned out that they had signed a new one-year deal with TNA. Now, TNA is spreading the word that it was Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards who rejected the longer try-out, and not Triple H, and that was so they could sign with TNA Impact Wrestling.
It is probably a better opportunity for them. The WWE seems to be phasing out signing any new "indie" looking talents, so the American Wolves probably would have made more money but would not have gotten a very big chance in the WWE. In TNA Impact Wrestling, they are immediate stars.

Jason Taylor reflects on his New York Jets future (video)
Jason Taylor signed a two-year contract with the New York Jets, but it's unclear at this point — for several reasons — whether the future Hall of Famer will be one-and-done with Gang Green.
The former Miami Dolphins star points out in the video below that it's a two-way street on whether he'll return in 2011. The slow-moving negotiations on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement are a factor as well.
Speaking at a charity dinner for the Jason Taylor Foundation on Sunday night, he said "hopefully" when asked if he wanted to play another year, but added the Jets "bringing me back is up in the air."
"We're all kind of sitting out there with some uncertainty with the CBA deal going on and contract stuff," he said. "I'd love to be able to come back to the team and keep as much as we can together. We've got a really good football team and a really good young quarterback to throw it. We like our chances."
Taylor had this to say when asked about this past season with the Jets, who reached the AFC title game before losing in Taylor's hometown of Pittsburgh:
"It was great. I had a great time. We had a fantastic year. Unfortunately came up a little short in our last game. What an opportunity to play in New York. The rivalry [with the Dolphins] from the other side was fun. It was interesting but it was fun."
At this point, I'd be surprised if Taylor took it to the house without giving it one more shot. The specialized pass-rush role the Jets have carved out for him should make it easier for him to extend his career, something that never materialized with the Dolphins.
Your thoughts on the playing future of probably the greatest defensive player in Miami Dolphins history?

Customer Finds
Location: Michigan
Metal Detector Used: Other (800-0284-LSP)
Dear White's,
My story begins on March 14, 2009 with the purchase of a new White's DFX from Jerry's Metal Detector Sales, our nearest authorized White's dealer. I couldn't wait to get started metal detecting with the DFX, however time and weather had not been favorable so my outings were limited.
After work on Friday March 27th, I had a couple of hours to hunt and this would only be my sixth outing. My wife suggested I try an empty lot up town where the Odd Fellows Hall, which later became the Town Hall, once stood. She reminded me of the story about how her mom had lost her dad's class ring in the spring of 1964 while out hunting for night crawlers. They searched for the ring for the next couple of days in the places where they had hunted for crawlers but didn't find the ring. I told my wife that the chance of finding her dad's class ring were very slim. The Hall had been demolished and the site excavated. It probably got hauled away if the ring was lost there.
I received permission to hunt the lot and proceeded to detect in a grid pattern. On my second round, I received a solid nickel tone and pinpointing indicated the depth at five inches. I cut the plug and found the nickel, then checked the hole again. I still got a signal so I dug a little deeper and pulled out a hand full of clay. Peeling away the clay, I saw the bottom of a ring. Peeling off more revealed that it was a class ring. I put the ring in my pocket and continued to detect a little while longer.
Upon returning home, I gently cleaned the class ring for any identification. The ring had the initials J and W class of 1966 on it. I had found my father in law's class ring that my mother in law had lost 45 years ago! What an awesome find! Every one in the family was very excited and surprised that the ring would ever be found. My father in law now has his class ring back. My mother in law still can't believe it and my wife said with that find the DFX has more than paid for itself!

P/S is not an apples-to-apples comparison. THI has higher p/s multiples because they are hugely profitable. Tons more profitable than KKD in every metric.KKD profitability is improving dramatically. I grant you that but its still no where near that of say THI.2x sales will be fair valuation in a few quarters.

The images found in the slideshow on the left, focus on two returning characters that fans will be pleased to see return, former main character Jude Mathis and his childhood friend, Leia Rolando. Since the events of "Tales of Xillia", Jude has put all of his efforts into an finding an alternative energy source to spyrix, hoping that it could solve Elympios' energy crisis and help unite the two worlds.

First-Half Flurry Lifts Minutemen
Nov. 2, 2003
AMHERST, Mass. - Five different players tallied first-half goals helping the UMass men's soccer team cruise to a 5-0 victory over Saint Joseph's on Sunday afternoon at Rudd Field. The win improves UMass' record to 11-6-1 overall and 5-4-1 in the Atlantic 10. The victory keeps UMass in the driver's seat for the fifth playoff spot for the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament on Nov. 13-16.
The Minutemen wasted little time putting the pressure on the SJU defense, and pushed a goal across at the 10:42 mark. Freshman Ralph Pace (Richmond, Va.) blasted a shot to the top right corner from the right side with assists to Oral Bullen (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and Rob Charest (Monson, Mass.). UMass added to the lead just 4:30 later, when at the 15:12 mark, a pair of seniors teamed up for its second goal. Smith Utubor (Framingham, Mass.) played a ball back to Andrew Eicher (Billerica, Mass.), in which Eicher rocketed into the top right corner for a 2-0 lead at the 15:12 mark. Senior Dan Colwell (Spencer, Mass.) pushed the lead to 3-0, 10 minutes later, as he rolled a low shot through traffic that found the back of the net. Pace and senior Ptah Myers (Columbus, Ohio) tallied assists on the play. Ernie Billittier (Mundelein, Ill.) and Michael Donnelly (Warminster, Pa.) then netted goals just 2:05 apart late in the first half for a 5-0 lead. Meanwhile, the UMass defense dominated the Hawks, holding them to three attempted shots, while the UMass offense had 22 in the first 45 minutes.
The Minutemen had several strong chances in the second half, but the SJU keepers combined to make six saves, despite UMass outshooting the Hawks, 15-5, in the second half. Freshman Nick Billman (St. Louis, Mo.) made three saves in earning his third shutout of the season. The Minutemen outshot the Hawks, 37-8, for the contest.
The Minutemen will make the Atlantic 10 playoffs with a win against Rhode Island next Saturday or a George Washington loss against Richmond. In the event of UMass and George Washington both losing, UMass will get the sixth seed by virtue of a 3-0 win over George Washington. The Minutemen and Rams will square off next Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. in Kingston, R.I.

Cycling Through
Monday, May 13, 2013
Today I am working on getting my brain back to healthy. I was so close to my 5% weight loss goal that the last two weeks have been spent diligently following the Weight Watchers plan. But now that I have reached the 5% and moved on to a 10% goal, I have another 13 pounds to lose before reaching it.
My diet is going just fine and there is nothing I need to do to make it better. I am eating the right amounts without much effort. I do not feel hungry or snacky anymore. If I am hungry then I add two eggs to my afternoon snack and end up eating dinner about an hour later than I would've otherwise because those to eggs are so satisfying. I am losing the perfect amount: 1.5-2 pounds per week on average. I only need to maintain what I am doing for now.
But because of the last two weeks of uber-focus, I have started to become uptight about the diet. I didn't feel good about reaching my 5% goal. I lost 15 pounds and all I could think was how much farther I had to go and how it took me a few months just to get to this point. I was actually quite forlorn and mopey yesterday.
I saw the failure of my diet in sight because it was starting to stress me out. The stakes had become too high and the ultimate goal to unreachable.
But today I made a mental change. I cannot actively work on my diet because it needs no current tweaking. I need to focus on my exercise again, which I have been doing, but the last two weeks wasn't where my head was focused. I CAN adjust my exercise. I can get that feeling of pushing my limits and expanding my abilities in exercise that I can't get right now in my already good diet. Basically, while I'm waiting for next week's weigh-in, and the week after, and the week after that, I can see results elsewhere: in how many push-ups I can do or in how much better my intermediate Pilates are getting.
I can also focus on non-diet related life things. I am ready to start looking for a job in Virginia now that baby is almost 8-months old. Our apartment is still not completely decorated and although we cannot afford the picture frames and such for what I have planned until we have acquired a bed and a table, I can start looking up ideas on exactly what I want to do and how to do it. I have plenty of things to do that I have been holding out on until I could get my diet under control and on track.
So today I have made a mental change to be less stressed about my successful diet. When I get within 2 pounds of that 10% goal then I will focus on it again like I did the last two weeks. Then I will go back to being chill.
I realize that if I am to succeed at losing all my weight and doing it permanently then I have to cycle through my diet. I have to create cycles of chill and focused.
I will succeed.

Will Lamborghini Build an SUV?
(Dow Jones) Volkswagen AG's Lamborghini division plans to launch an SUV in 2016, Reuters reported Monday, citing two people with knowledge of the strategy.
Lamborghini plans to announce the vehicle at the Beijing auto show in April, the report said.
In a recent Reuters interview, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann didn't comment on specific model plans, but said "it would be good to enter a new segment that brings higher volumes and more stability" while still maintaining "a pure, clearly positioned brand."
