Another great find from the Big Fish app deals page. For 3.99, this was a really good game! Very long, but some of that was due to a lot of traveling back and forth, from place to place. But that was part of the fun of this game! There were a ton of different puzzles. Some easy, some a challenge. One gripe on the puzzle with 6 frames and zodiac symbols to place. I did it three times and it wouldn't work. I had it right! But it wouldn't proceed. I finally had to skip it. Played it again from the extras page, and did the same things and it worked! HO scenes repeated a couple times, but they were clear and if you are in a dark place, easy to solve. Had zoom, but it blurred quite a bit. Extra gameplay was a little different in scenery, very minimal graphics, and tons of traveling back and forth, but still fun. No zoom in those HO scenes. Overall, a four star game. I'll play it again!
Is that a creaking door I hear or a whoopy cushion?
The game opens with a 'real nice lady' with a crackly voice, big wart on her chin and hooded attire....get ready to enter the real creepy world of another Echoes of the Past game. Great story going into different eras to find hidden pieces of a clock that the 'nice lady' hid to make time stand still. Your job, if you take the challenge, is to warp back and forth and find these pieces. And it can be a challenge..a little frustrating to keep finding room after room with more and more things to do and no map to assist you or good hint button to help guide your path in the right directions. Great voice overs and scenes are lovely. The HOS will force you to expand the screen to the Max as there are a thousand objects in one scene and they are itty bitty. All in all.... challenging, entertaining and fun but not among my most favs.
I enjoyed it, but disappointing in the end
All said, I enjoyed the main game despite having no map, a less than useful hint button, and repetition of several of the games. It was the bonus game that was the real disappointment for me. It really seemed half-baked. For the most part, it was mainly 3 locations that you just went back and forth between constantly doing the same hidden object scenes over and over and over. Eventually, I was just ready for it to be over and then all of a sudden it was just over. You found a final item, put it in place and then abruptly you were back in the museum. I was expecting something a bit more.
So 3 ½ to 4 stars for the main game. The bonus game knocked it down to 2 ½ to 3 stars overall. Mainly it suffered from an overall lack of creativity.

The Rev. Jim Fackler, assisted by Genelle Hachat, led the group in the "Welcome" and "EO" songs, as volunteers served refreshments of cookies, iced tea, water and coffee.

Have church services become obsolete? Is coming together to worship as believers no longer relevant in today's world?
A few weeks ago on Rev Radio (a live call-in show hosted by the Rev. John Glennon and me on Wednesdays from 1:04 to 2 p.m. on WKRV 107.1 FM), we asked the question, "Why do people not attend church?" We received some enlightening comments and feedback from church attenders, but those who do not attend did not respond.

On a variety of occasions, people have asked me how I develop the ideas for sermons.
My normal method involves plans to cover topics of Christian growth and development. These topics include doctrine, ministry and character development. The idea behind this is to keep things from getting stuck in any one place for too long.

How The Compression Release Mechanism Works On Briggs And Stratton OHV Engines
What do you think about this video?
hugh dolan: Thanks I will give it a try when the weather warms a bit. If it works, i'll report. DD
hugh dolan: Thanks for the video, to make it short for you, Do you think it possible id drill and install a hand operated release valve in the head, like the old john deer's? Thanls
Alpatriod: is this a automatic compression release then?
Doc Riordan (SBBDoc): I have 2 easy start b&s and both only show 60lbs of compression, would this release stop me from getting a true reading while pulling the rope 5-6 times as normal?
Gary Rice: I see what you mean - but - the valve stem rides on the lobe - and is thin - so how does it touch both surfaces?
99trider: All is well now. I do not know exactly what got the kinks out but the engine is running fine now. At my last posting the engine was surging when under load, tried new fuel pump.. no help, removed the the new in-line fuel filter...no help. Finally removed the carb, poked, probed and cleaned. Never saw anything in the carb that would prevent fuel flow??? Replaced old crankcase vent tube that had a hole in it, but the carb back on and now it runs fine?? I did not rebuild the carb, did not put any new parts in the carb, no gaskets, no needle, no anything new.
Thanks again for all your help!
99trider: Finally got the new camshaft in, the mower starts and idles fine but surges/lopes when I start mowing. Is it possible I installed the governor wrong
99trider: Thanks again for your help. I had B&S send me a parts manual and they also list my camshaft a the 790340...I hope this is correct as I have ordered one. I will post my results here once I have the engine back together.
Franklin Jobe: Thanks for your reply. Please confirm the correct part number, best I can research it is part # 790340.
Model 311-777
Type 0154-E1
Code 000317ZE
99trider: I have a 17hp B&S OHV with the exact cam you show in this video. I adjusted the valves but still could not get the engine to spin over unless I removed the spark plug and yes I tried with a strong, fully charged battery. I have the engine opened up now as I intended to replace the cam thinking the problem is the compression release. Now that I have the cam in my hand I cannot tell if it is the problem, the mechanical release is not broken and it seems to operate as designed. Is there any way to tell if its worn too much to work properly? Do these type releases ever just wear out? I think this engine is about 15years old.
Ro Efa: I replaced the head gasket on my engine, and that small cap on the end of one of the valves stems found its way to the crankcase and it broke both the counterbalance link and that centrifugal doo-dad on the cam gear. I have a new link, but Briggs won't sell me the spring and weight assembly... only an entire new camshaft w/gear and weight... too expensive. Do you know of a practical way to add a manual compression release? Some motorcycles have them. PS: Really enjoy your videos; THANKS.
kenny sylvia:
hey I have the 5.5 black model its a walk behind as well I just had everything apart put together and working fine after a few pulls it locks up do u have any idea that may help me please and have a happy fourth
Nickolas Davies: ah yes finaly, been fixing a tohatsu 4 stroke efi 25hp that suffered a swim, got it runnig all good but could not figure out why it took such a massive amount of force to pull.
then saw this video and all made sense, all 3 were jammed full open so no decompression prior to start.
thanks for the upload.
EASTYJAZ34: My Quantum engine is experiencing Knocking sounds when i shut the engine off. I have made a video about it. What do u think the problem is?
James Humphrey: Also, like fnaguitarplayer9 said, before tearing down, try to reset your exhaust valve setting, if it is sloppy and wide, it may adjust out, if it doesn't then you can look for a problem on the cam and that is a tear down.
James Humphrey: A quick way to check to see if the compression release is the problem on a hard to turn over B & S OHV Engine. Take the valve cover off and turn the engine to the position where it is really hard to turn. You need a helper and expect to get a little oil on you. Have your helper, when you tell him to try starting the engine, now take a screwdriver and put the tip onto the valve exhaust valve lifter - on the very end right over the valve stem or on top of the valve spring cap - carefully push in about a tenth of an inch THEN have it turn the key to start. If your engine has had a habit of being easy to start up to now, it will spin, fire and most of the time start. You may have to try this a couple of times at first to get the knack of it as when the engine turns over your screwdriver will bounce off. Be careful to push in just a wee bit, you will probably feel the valve stem give way just a tad, that is all you want to push. They will usually start after one full cycle but if your engine has a lot of miles and a habit of hard starting, you may have to try it a couple of times ?? If this doesn't work, you may have an intake compression release, try that one. When and if it starts the engine will start pumping oil an you will get squirted a little and the oil will also run down onto the exhaust, no problem just turn the switch off. Now if this works you have just identified for sure what the problem is so either take off the bottom case and repair yourself or take it to the shop. Have a nice day. Jim
Joseph "67FordFalconLover" Alvord: what if mine isnt a ohv system i have a briggs and stratton 12.5 gold model and it has really high compression any ideas? i've changed the connecting rod and i torque it to what the instructions said and put it all back together and tried starting is when i found out i had high compression the starter is good had it checked out and the starter gear does get stuck on the flywheel
VintageOutboardMan: Hey man, I've seen this video before, but I got a question. Do you know when Briggs started using these automatic decompressors? I have a 10hp Briggs from 1976 and with my compression tester I got only 60-70PSI out of it. The engine is not burning any oil and it has lots of power! When I turn it slowly by hand, I can feel a lot of resistance too. If it has an automatic decompressor, 60-70PSI would be excellent, so may I assume it has one??? By the way, yes my compression tester works accurate ;)

Science and geography combined so that the residents of American Samoa didn't stand much of a chance.
Almost all the conditions that trigger bad tsunamis were in place this week, producing waves that roared toward the island territory at the speed of a 747 jumbo jet. There was nothing to slow it down.
It started with the type of earthquake that tends to generate the strongest tsunamis. It was one of the biggest on record for that type of seismic disruption. It shook just below the ocean floor, under thousands of feet of water, causing huge waves.
That deeper water meant greater speed for the tsunami. American Samoa was about 125 miles from the epicenter and at just the right angle, leaving little time for people to get to high ground.

Neighbors is hilarious. The raunchy comedy, which topped the box office this past weekend, pits a young couple with a baby against a fraternity that moves in next door. It's dad Seth Rogen versus dude Zac Efron, but thankfully it's much more than that, with a great ensemble including Rose Byrne and Dave Franco, who give their best work to date.

Abstract"Diamond represents a multimillion market due to its unique combination of superior thermal, electronic, optical, dielectric, chemical, and mechanical properties. However its applications are far from fully developed. One of the hurdles is the lack of asuitable technique to make high quality diamond with low cost comparable to that of other materials in various application areas. MicroCoating Technologies (MCT) proposes to synthesize thin film diamond at lower cost utilizing its proprietary Nanomisertechnology and Combustion Chemical Vapor Deposition (CCVD) process, and expertise in thin film deposition targeting applications in thermal management and electronics. Professor Zlatko Sitar at North Carolina State University, an expert in heteroepitaxialgrowth of diamond thin films, will collaborate with MCT on this Phase I effort. This novel concept, if successful, will result in a low cost, high quality platform for enormous electronic devices, enabling its widespread commercial and military uses.Envisioned applications include, but not limited to, field emission displays, electronic packaging, thermal management, super capacitors, IR windows, piezoresistive sensors, gas sensors, and surface acoustic wave devices."

I am trying to learn the MVC architecture. But I am not able to understand why you need a controller. See the below code for my model and view.
model.php connects to the database and retrieves the post. view.php will just display the post.
$db = mysql_connect("somehostname", "someuser", constant("somepassword"));
mysql_select_db("somedatabase", $db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT post FROM posts WHERE postid='" . $_POST['id'] . "'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$post = $row["post"];
require "model.php";
echo $post;
I set my browser location to http://whateverhost/view.php?id=5
This loads post with the id 5. I did not require a controller here. So I am confused why do you need a controller?
Note: Please explain with reference to the above example. I am not a programming geek and learning things like CakePHP, etc. is overwhelming for me.
Edit: It would be great if you can add controller.php to the above code. That would help me in understanding the role of a controller and how it communicates with model and views.

This is a great way to use your surplus tomatoes from the yard/garden. I live in a humid subtropical area, so I get tomatoes most of the year, and can never use them fast enough. The vinegar flavor was a bit strong and it doesn't look as "neat" as the picture - it's kind of a sloppy mess. Still an interesting meal. I'd do again, but not often.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 1998
Running Time: 123
Director: Van Damage
Company: Elegant Angel Productions
Cast: Billy Glide, Colt Steele, Stephanie (I), Van Damage, Timber, Byron Long, Taylor King, Cassidy (I), Mr. Marcus, Frank Shaft, Shawna Valentino, Neena, Michael Hurt, Illiana, Raylin, John West, Jeremy Steele (I), Earl Slate, Jay Ashley
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
High recommended.
Between eight and twelve (depending on how you count 'em) superlative sex scenes. Although there is a formula of sorts (the girl masturbates first, then is joined by a guy, or two) it is not slavishly followed. For example, one scene starts out looking like a girl/girl number - and then three guys enter the scene. Scenes are tied together visually in a number of clever ways, and there is a great joke - which will be missed by the Fast Forward Brigade - where a buxom redhead introduces herself as being from South Africa and then is soundly rogered by three black guys.
As you would expect from Van Damage, there is anal a-plenty and a fair share of d.p.'s. Camerawork is excellent, editing is nom-worthy, and a tip o' the chapeau to whoever put the credits in AVN order, including describing Toby Dammit as having anon-sex role.

I am trying to implement categories for NSMutableDictionary class with at least two methods: one for NSDictionary that retains (not copies) its keys, and one for NSDictionary that weak references its keys (i.e. does nothing to them).
Values are simply retained in both cases.
Thus, as CFDictionaryRef is said to be toll-free bridged with NSDictionary, I actually do the following:
+ (NSMutableDictionary *)dictionaryWithWeakReferencedKeysForCapacity: (NSUInteger)capacity
CFDictionaryKeyCallBacks keyCallbacks = { 0, NULL, NULL, CFCopyDescription, CFEqual, NULL };
CFDictionaryValueCallBacks valueCallbacks = { 0, ___f_KBWS_DICTIONARY_RETAIN_CALLBACK, ___f_KBWS_DICTIONARY_RELEASE_CALLBACK, CFCopyDescription, CFEqual };
return [(id)CFDictionaryCreateMutable(NULL, capacity, &keyCallbacks, &valueCallbacks) autorelease];
The second method (for retained keys) looks alike and is not presented here. Scary functions inside the code are:
static const void *___f_KBWS_DICTIONARY_RETAIN_CALLBACK(CFAllocatorRef allocator, const void *value)
id object = (id)value;
return [object retain];
static void ___f_KBWS_DICTIONARY_RELEASE_CALLBACK(CFAllocatorRef allocator, const void *value)
id object = (id)value;
return [object release];
I had to write these myself as soon as I haven't found standard core foundation callbacks for retaining and releasing keys.
I plan to use these categories for dictionaries that will store subclasses NSObjects only. The question is: are these valid callbacks for this case? Is there something wrong in my code besides that?

Zope 3.4 Now Egg-Based
The new version of the Python content management system (CMS) has split its source code into separate packages, called eggs.
The separation of Zope sources into eggs should provide users and developers more independence, hence a new download version with so-called known good sets (KGSs). A KGS is a configuration of packages proven to work well together. Along with this the Zope Foundation made a "renewed commitment" to update its CMS every six months.
New to Zope is also the jquery JavaScript library that simplifies HTML page interactions, such as text windows at a mouse click, for which the jQuery website provides an example. The library comes under MIT or GPL licensing. Zope 3.4 includes a Python-layer package for jquery.
The new Zope requires Python 2.4 or 3.5 to run and zlib installed. The download package on the new KGS webpage takes up about 7 MBytes, with an additional source version. Zope 3.4 contains a few BSD-licensed modules and is under Zope Public License (ZPL), which is GPL-compatible to allow redistribution with a retained copyright notice and change notification.

iPad takes on Philips LivingColors for mood lighting crown [Video]

Dofl Yun had to choose between the LEDs or an iPad, and plumped for the latter, whipping up a custom lighting system that's apparently as alluring as catnip to his feline friend.

Reggie Love Is Leaving the White House: A Bromance, Remembered

Reggie Love — Barack Obama's "body man", ex-Duke football star, all-around cool-seeming dude, and subject of the Times "Style" section profile that melted the hearts of all America's Democratic women— is leaving the White House at the end of the year.

ODT Online
ODT /directory
A study by the University of Stirling estimates a 79 percent
chance that the people of Scotland will reject the chance to
end a 307-year-old union with England, up from 70 percent in
Earlier in the year some polls had shown the pro-independence
Yes campaign closing the gap on the pro-union campaign's
However, a YouGov poll for the Times newspaper found that
backing for the anti-independence campaign had risen, with
the Yes campaign struggling to convince voters a split would
not hurt the Scottish economy.
Professor David Bell, who looked at betting trends among
bookmakers for the University of Stirling, said the chance of
a No vote on Sept. 18 probably remained between 70 and 80
percent throughout the first half of the year, even as polls
"So long as punters do not think there is much chance of a
sudden swing in voting intentions, their money will go
increasingly towards the leading campaign," he said.
The YouGov survey found that backing for the
anti-independence campaign had risen by a point to 54 percent
since a similar poll two weeks ago, with support for
nationalists dipping to 35 percent.
However, the campaign in favour of independence cited "three
other recent polls (that) have recorded a significant
increase in backing for Yes...
"Of course, the polls will fluctuate from time to time," a
spokesman for Yes Scotland said.
Both sides have stepped up campaigns to emphasise the
economic benefits or disadvantages of independence.
If Scotland votes in favour of independence, Edinburgh would
have to negotiate with London on issues ranging from security
to the status of the British pound in Scotland and division
of assets, including energy reserves.
Nationalists maintain that, in the case of a Yes vote, the UK
government would have to agree to some form of currency
union, although the UK government insists an agreement to
share the pound is not on the table.
Professor Bell said that between mid-March and mid-April, the
chances of Scotland voting for independence improved, in part
as a reaction against the UK government saying an independent
Scotland could not share the pound.
The major British parties have since changed tack, and are
campaigning more vocally for a No vote in favour of greater
devolution of powers within the United Kingdom.
On the issue of the economy, the YouGov poll suggested the No
campaign was winning the argument with 49 percent believing
Scotland would be worse off under independence, up 4 points
from three months ago.
Just 27 percent said that Scotland would be better off under
independence, a drop of three points since March.

Two people were sent to the hospital after being involved in a three-vehicle pileup in the 1800 block of North U.S. Highway 63 late Monday afternoon.
According to the Rolla Police Department, a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue driven by Piper J. Grogg, of Rolla, was not able to stop soon enough for stopped traffic ahead of her and struck the rear of a 2008 Hyundai Elantra driven by Ryan Westcott, of Vichy.
The Elantra was then pushed into the back of a 2001 Jeep Cherokee driven by Timothy Morse, of Dixon.
Both Westcott and Grogg were taken to Phelps County Regional Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries, according to the police. Westcott suffered a laceration to his scalp and Grogg was given a neck brace but had no visible injury, police said.
No other injuries were reported.
There was major damage to the Oldsmobile and Hyundai and moderate damage to the Jeep.

American Dream
The wrestler emerged from the kitchen, the weight of a coal-burning grill in both hands, and I felt like clapping. The "barbecue" was more Korean yakiniku than tabletop Coleman, and it had landed in the middle of our table. With a fork, he speared a hefty cube of pig fat and rubbed it back and forth across the burner, until it sizzled and oozed and I possibly audibly ahh'd. His assistant poured, from a burnished kettle, an herb-fragrant broth into the moat that surrounded the smoking coals. The wrestler slowly lifted an egg above his head and brought it down with a crack! on the metal tureen. Strands of gold and milky white raced into the broth, swirling and solidifying in the steaming brew.

Termites Never Sleep
Taking my hand, he led me through the Louisiana Swamp Gallery to a verdant artificial garden. Arias of brightly colored canaries were locked in a cages along the wall. Holly stood on a plastic bridge and butterflies filled the air. An immense azure morpho landed atop her head. She knelt down to show Zion its palpating wings.
A Favor
I look at her bed and imagine her in her faded nightgown, lying sleepless, a thin arm outstretched to my father's bed alongside her.
I look at his bed and see his pillows smoothed and propped up, his sheets tucked tight, his blanket folded at the foot.

Literature, read on the sly, gave the author her first taste of the strange world of that mysterious being, the adult. From Issue 63, Rejection. What I remember is a park in Boise, a summer picnic in the late 1960s, and my father lurching to a stop on the sidewalk to let a girl pass. […]

In Bowling Class, I Think of Dad Taking Things Three Months at a Time
In Olympia, my father
to whom I will not speak,
whose face heavies with the shrinking
ledger of days,
plants azaleas after surgery, the grooves
in his fingers filling with soil
and mercy.

Poetry Month Gems
April is National Poetry Month, so we thought we'd check in with our staff for some poetry recommendations. Where better to start than with Matthew Dickman, our Poetry Editor: Matthew: I can't stop reading work by Khadijah Queen. Her poems are dynamic, ecstatic, and important. Copies of her books Fearful Beloved and Non-Sequitur are never […]

A Reverie of Small Details: An Interview with Kim Brooks
Sometimes I'd cry when I read and sometimes I'd feel nothing at all, just numbness. But there was always this strange mix of caring, compassion, helplessness, and rage— the four things mixed in different proportions. I found that I wanted to write something about that feeling, that combination of empathy and impotence.
The Long Shadow of Small Ghosts: An Excerpt
When I interviewed people about the murders, some cautioned that the crime was a black hole that held nothing within. Heinous crimes are like that, people said. They do not teach lessons, they only confirm the worst suspicions about what can happen in our world. To venture close to an entity so dark and try to wrest value from its depths was not only foolish, it was dangerous: a black hole withholds and mangles all it consumes and devours anything wandering too close to its invisible mouth. Yet, the same people who compassionately issued this warning also told me, often at length, of all the crime had come to mean in their lives, how it had challenged their beliefs or fortified them. How it continued to flicker as a figure on the edge of their peripheral vision, moving out of range when they turned to see it head-on.
The Best Buy on Reserve
At the Best Buy on Reserve, I saw my future self in line to buy an Xbox. He had twenty years and fifty pounds on me, and he'd lost his hair. But he was me; I recognized myself, like you can recognize your red Outback in a parking lot full of them. I don't play […]
The Pork Chop: Navigating an Interfaith Marriage
We still get a Christmas tree. We still light the menorah. My husband continues to prepare pork chops with a sense of ritual and familiarity that must feel like coming home. The kids have grown up—now 23 and 19—one bar mitzvahed, the other a devout atheist–and are free to make religious commitments of their own.
Unity, Faith, Discipline
The following appears in the current issue of Tin House, Faith. Writing about the subject of faith in a country named for faith, founded upon faith, with faith as the central word of its national motto, is, shall we say, a somewhat fraught endeavor.

Neighborhood Notes: Rewind
The diabetic alcoholic across the street had lost all limbs by now. He only came out anymore for Medi-Van transport to dialysis.

How Do You Live In A World That's Not The World You Thought It Was?: An Interview with Brian Evenson
Brian Evenson's first book, Altmann's Tongue, was unsettling enough to some members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that its publication set into a motion a chain of reactions that led to Evenson's departure from his professorship at Brigham Young University, and, eventually, from membership in the church altogether.

A few years before, Patchen had begun a series of collaborations, performing and recording with the Chamber Jazz Sextet in San Francisco, the Bed of Roses Chamber Group in Seattle, the Alan […]

Lost & Found: Shane Danaher on Sterling Hayden
A passionate sailor, striving writer, and unwilling movie star, Sterling Hayden lived a picaresque life in which his nascent internal struggles were compounded by the American century in which he lived. The chief literary artifact of this extraordinary existence, Hayden's mid-life autobiography Wanderer, published in 1963, distinguishes itself amongst its genre through its formal imitation […]

I am trying to run CSRFTester tool from OWASP to check for CSRF Attack on my web application. I am able to generate an HTML report from the tool but I dont know how to use it..I tried googling it but to no avail. Here are the steps I am following till now:-
> 1. Login to my Web Application.
> 2.Access to the business logic function page.
> 3.Start Recording(CSRFTester)
> 4.Enter the data in form and click on submit.
> 5.CSRFTester tool will store all the information related to this request.

From here On I don't know what exactly I have to do to test for CSRF and how to do it.. Please Guide me..Material available over the net for using this tool have repeatedly stated the same thing which I am not able to understand.
The sites quote :-
Once you generate report open a new browser instance, authenticate as another user with access to the same business function(s) of your testing site, and have then launch the newly created HTML report file. If the action effect after viewing the file in the same browser window that was used to authenticate the the victim, then that particular function is vulnerable to CSRF(cross-site request forgery).
Please guide me..Also if anyone knows about any Free tool to test for CSRF vulnerabilities then please let me know..I tried using Acunetix but to no avail..

Dear WP Forum.
I'm happily using wp 2.6.3 with the theme shades of grey.

Which is the way to make this possible? o any plugin exist regardless of this issue?
Thanks for your support.
Best regards.

Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology
The areas of environmental science and environmental (bio)technology are broad, multidisciplinary, fast growing and extremely active. The last twenty years have seen an overwhelming accumulation of data, and a panoply of important discoveries. It is almost impossible to keep up to date on current developments in these areas, let alone judge their long-term significance.
The purpose of Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology is twofold: to keep the reader up-to-date on achieved advances in the multidisciplinary and rapidly expanding fields of environmental science and biotechnology, and to offer perspectives on where these developments will lead.
The journal comprises of two distinct peer-reviewed sections: one offering Mini-Reviews expressing scientific opinions on topics and trends, and another presenting comprehensive critical evaluations (Reviews) of research efforts and technical realizations in particular areas. In addition to these two sections, the journal will publish research and policy-oriented commentaries, information on newly initiated research projects, key websites, recent developments in the field presented on international workshops, seminars and symposia, and initiatives from young researchers (science careers).
Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology accepts electronic multimedia files (animations, movies, audio etc.) and other supplementary files to be published online along with an article. This feature can add dimension to the author's article as certain information cannot be printed or is more convenient in electronic form.
For more information on submission and types of files please see ESM under For authors and editors.

This book, prepared predominantly by team physicians, is a useful reference for physicians in all specialties who care for young athletes.
It is divided into 3 parts. In "The Foundations of Sports Medicine," the basics of exercise physiology are discussed: training, physical rehabilitation modalities, and nutrition. Most of these chapters, appropriately, are not written by physicians but by physical and occupational therapists, physical educators, and others. These chapters provide important background but are of less practical importance to a physician than the rest of the book. However, the chapters on performance enhancers and the preparticipation physical examination stand out. The performance enhancers discussed include anabolic corticosteroids, growth hormone, stimulants ranging from cocaine to caffeine, μ-blockers, blood doping, and erythropoietin. The risks, benefits, and detection methods are discussed in detail. The preparticipation examination chapter discusses the goals and focus of the examination.

- How is the concept of Zuhd understood from Qur'an and Sunnah?
- It is normally translated as asceticism, but does that mean living in poverty, hunger and abstaining from marriage and sleep?
- Can someone who possess wealth be a Zahid?
- What are the qualities of a true Zahid according to Qur'an and Sunnah?
That God made the world is accessories to test for us To know God where we act as ordered it or not?
Zuhd : is the output the love of the world from the heart, so Zahid not pay any attention to the world in his heart, and not preoccupied in this world on the purpose for which God created for it
Zuhd does not mean to believer give up for a the world and he gives up his money, and leave halal earning and be a burden on others.
In 40 Hadith for Nawawi:
The Prophet (PBUH) explained the true meaning of Zuhd when he said:
And in another hadith:
And some scholars said: (not Zuhd to leave the world of your hand and Is in your heart, but the Zuhd is Leave the world in your heart and is in your hand).
Ali (ra) defined zuhd best:
Many of the Prophets and Sahabah were incredibly wealthy or powerful - but they didn't let that get in the way of their connection with Allah. Abd ar-Rahman b. Auf (ra) is a fantastic example of a very successful businessman and yet among those promised jannah. Sulaiman (as) asked Allah SWT for a kingdom and dominion the likes of which would not be given to anyone else after him - here is a Prophet asking Allah SWT for literally a whole kingdom and power over it! But before he asked Allah for that, he asked for forgiveness. So he had his priorities straight.
Today people incorrectly associate zuhd with leaving the world or renouncing everything and living a minimal existence. This is not the way of the Prophet (saws). He said:
In our prayer, the Prophet (saws) instructed us to ask Allah for the blessings and goodness of this life, the eternal life, and to be saved from the Fire.
Sa'id b. Jubair said "Allah tests me, I don't test Him" in connection with people thinking they were doing Allah a favor by inflicting poverty on themselves.
These examples from the Prophets, Companions, and other early Muslims give an indication as to the true meaning of zuhd.
Your answer is given by the household of the holy Prophet --peace be upon him and his household, the describers of Quran, as follows:
Therefore Quran defines the Zuhd (asceticism) in this verse:
But let me explain this to some extent. An ascetic person in Islam may be rich or poor in property; Zuhd does not require the person to have less or least wealth (as was considered by many famous Sufi's in the history of Sufism), but it does require the person not to rely on his wealth, income, and etc., be it a house or car or money in bank or credit or even children or honor, or even healthy body and sharp mind or knowledge or any other possession or characteristic. The ascetic person would always remind his position in the course of life and in the relation with God, so that he only relies on Allah, neither he will get disappointed when he lose something that he had and nor will he exult when he gains something that he had not. In every instant he knows that he is a servant of Allah, he still has some duties even though the conditions of the game will change slightly.
Then we turn back to see the history, we have Talut and Dhul-Qarnein and the prophets Joseph and David and Solomon --peace be upon them-- which were king (or anyway ranked among the highest in a government) with lots of wealth. They were all ascetic of course while were rich as well. Another example if the prophet Ayyub --peace be upon him-- who was rich as well, then Allah examined him by taking back from him almost anything that was given to him, but he remained a good servant of Allah with no single instant of thinking bad (سوء الظن) about his Lord:
That's a very common examination style that Allah puts forward in our courses of lives, to give us for us to remind Him and thank Him (both by doing our duties and by tongue) or to take back from us again to remind Him and ask Him and be patient, being pleased by what Allah has chosen for us.
This is only a short argument about Zuhd, you can easily extend your knowledge by many great books written based on this verse and the Ahadeeth of the 14 infallibles peace be upon them.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 82 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JanR Nice set Very nice set but it came with a huge blemish on the tank top. I sent it all back and have yet to receive my replacement. The set fits well although I didn't try on the tank top. Likely I will wear some other color tank top just to break up the color. I ordered the red color and it is a lovely warm shade. I am looking forward to adding this set to my wardrobe. December 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYPrincess Love this! Exactly what I wanted I have been looking for something like this for the longest. so when I got the email from Travel Smith I ordered it on the spot! Going to several countries on long flights wanted to look "Business Casual Smart" but at the same time something comfy like a "business class Pajama" so I ordered it. I love it, I call it "my uniform" using it for all flights just changing the shell to a pop color, a scarf, comfy shoes and jewerly when ready to un-board. can be dressed up or down, non wrinkle. I got it in Black and highly recommend. It is very slimming too. December 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2Travelers Great Travel Set I tried this set on and the fit is wonderful. I wear a 6-8 and the small fit the way it should. The blue (teal) is a great color and goes with just about everything. Another tank, a scarf or another jacket makes a lot of outfits and a small space in the suitcase. This will be the go-to outfit for my traveling. January 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bells Really comfortable! Very nice - I feel like I am wearing PJs! I had to check the mirror just to make sure that there was enough structure to wear in public! So very, very comfortable and they look great. The bottoms run a little big but definetly a keeper. They are a little spendy. February 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by beachroses Great Purchase- chic and slimming I usually wear a size 14. But a medium petite in this outfit fits perfectly. It also makes me look a size smaller! April 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by kittymoon really nice! I was pleasantly surprised when the suit arrived. The color (red) was rich and beautiful. The fit was perfect. The weight of the fabric is light-I expected it to be a bit heavier. But not a problem. It is a well made, the seams are reinforced and nicely done. Looking forward to wearing it on my upcoming cruise. April 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SoCalTraveler Travel Companion This will be one of my travel favorites. I wore the tank top on an all day hike in La Jolla recently. It felt breathable and washed up well in the hotel sink that night. Ready to wear the next day. May 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jnagelc Two sets of this are all you need to travel Wash this as soon as it arrives, and it will be is as comfortable as pajamas for the flight. In the hotel, toss the garment in the tub with some shampoo, rinse, wring out well, and hang up. They will be dry in the morning. They never wrinkle. Although not a fancy getup, for travel it works for day and evening. The colors all go together nicely - I took the taupe and the blue/ teal, and mixed and matched. I have since bought the espresso brown and the wine, which add to the possibilities. May 20, 2013

Tulum and Xel-Ha from Cozumel
Review score
Tulum and Xel-Ha from Cozumel information and booking
Tour description provided by Viator
Visit the mysterious ruins of Tulum and enjoy the view as you explore this abandoned walled city that towers above the deep turquoise of the Caribbean. Then visit Xel-Ha, a beautiful natural aquarium, home to a large variety of colorful tropical fish. Here, you can learn to snorkel or simply sit in one of the beach chairs and soak up the sun!
Tulum, the Walled City, is mounted high on the edge of a cliff. The abandoned city towers above the deep turquoise of the Caribbean and a beautiful white sandy beach. The city within the walls was only inhabited by the nobles, high priests and esteemed citizens such as astronomers, whereas the lower classes lived in simple wood and thatch huts beyond. The buildings in the city were originally covered with brilliant paintings and carvings stark white, deep red or vibrant blue, but only faint remnants of these now remain.
A guided visit of the site takes about 45 minutes. You'll then have some time at leisure to take photos of the picturesque views.
Then continue to Xel-Ha (pronounced shell-ha). Here, visitors can learn to snorkel and enjoy observing the fish at an arms length or simply sit in one of the beach chairs and soak up the sun! Xel-Ha is 15 minutes north of Tulum, ideally located to combine the day with a visit to the ruins. There are several restaurants in the park giving the option of arranging a group lunch in one of them or guests can be at leisure.
What's included
- Bilingual guide
- Entrance to the park
- Use of snorkel gear
- Lunch
- Soft drinks and beer
What isn't included
- Gratuities (optional)
- Additional activities
- Hotel pickup and drop off
- Ferry ticket

History of Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City
Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City (JFS) began its history as United Jewish Charities in 1901 when five volunteer relief agencies came together to legally incorporate themselves. During its first 20 years, UJC established its responsibility to the Jewish Community.
With no other Jewish Communal organization in town, UJC began a bathhouse, a Jewish education program, a summer camp called "Bittersweet Camp," basketball leagues, and resettlement services for the Jews coming to America to build a better life. In 1919, we opened the Alfred Benjamin Dispensary with two purposes: the first was to take care of the indigent, who could not afford medical care; the second, to provide a medical setting for Jewish physicians unable to secure residency in any other Kansas City hospital. The Dispensary eventually grew into the Menorah Medical Center, which precipitated the creation of the Jewish Heritage Foundation.
JFS was also the predecessor agency of the Jewish Federation and one of the founding eight agencies of the Heart of America United Way. In 1942, United Jewish Charities became United Jewish Social Services, in 1958, Jewish Family Service, and in 1964, Jewish Family & Children Services, showing our increasing focus on adoption.
In 2006 we began using our current name, Jewish Family Services. However, no matter what our name, our mission of helping others, regardless of race or religion, has remained unchanged throughout our 100 plus years.

Carris arrested for DUI after head-on crashBy Brent Curtis
Staff Writer | May 27,2014WEST RUTLAND - A former Rutland state senator and at one time president of Carris Reels was arrested for driving under the influence this morning after Vermont State Police say he caused a head-on-collision with another vehicle on Route 133.
Carris, 69, was unhurt in the 8:30 a.m. crash, but police say the driver of the other vehicle, Robert MacMurray, 71, of West Rutland , was taken by ambulance to Rutland Regional Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.
Police say Carris was driving a 2013 Ford F-150 truck south at about 30 mph when he crossed the center line and collided with a 2008 GMC Sierra driven by MacMurray, who police say was also driving 30 mph.
Carris, who stepped down from his Senate seat in 2012 due to health reasons, is also listed as the chairman of the board of directors at Carris Reels , which transitioned to an employee-owned company in 2005.
