With so much going on in this space you could be forgiven for thinking you were always working with yesterday's technologies. So much change, so quickly. What do you do if you have to build a solution from the ground up that is expected to live in the field for at least 5-10 years? This is the challenge we faced when we looked to refresh our existing 10-year-old custom hardware stack to measure the fullness of trash cans and compactors.

When we think of school lunches, thoughts of unappetizing food often come to mind. Nardin Academy is working to change that image.
The school had been hearing from students and parents alike that they wanted healthier options to be offered at school in the most efficient way possible. Most of the food that was being offered wasn't healthy, and the lunch line took about 20 minutes to navigate. Nardin needed a change.
"Our new system is healthier, tastes better and looks better," said sophomore Zoe Pearce.
This year, the cafeteria has started a new system that aims to have all the food it serves come from local businesses and farms. The lunches that are now being offered are much more nutritious.
Nardin students are now raving about how good it smells in the hallways and, even better, how good the food tastes. Girls in the high school have noticed that the food even looks better and fresher. For example, a day's lunch at Nardin could be vegetarian stir fry with broccoli and carrots served with fresh fruit and sweet potato fries. Also, soup and salad bar is offered every day along with fresh sandwiches.
Ariana Revelas, a sophomore, said it's "a new, better tasting, healthier way to enjoy lunch."
Nardin now employs its own cafeteria staff, and instead of just referring to the staff members as "lunch ladies," the school is encouraging students to greet the cafeteria staff by name to let them know they are respected and appreciated.
Also new to the cafeteria this year is the system of monitoring the waste that is produced during lunch. Separate bins are used in the cafeteria to separate food scraps, plastics, etc. The waste and old food is taken to be used as compost at Good Earth, a soil farm in Lancaster. And in another effort to reduce its waste, the school replaced its disposable plates and plastic utensils with regular plates and silverware.
Emily Rand, a sophomore, said, "I think the way that they are recycling at Nardin teaches us to pay attention to what we are throwing out and, in the bigger picture, the amount of waste we produce."
An efficiency expert helped rearrange the cafeteria so that students could get through the line faster and receive their food in a more convenient manner. Registers were placed away from the food line to help get people out of the way, and the salad bar was relocated to help traffic flow.
Nardin also is welcoming a guest chef from a local restaurant each month. Last month, Tempo's head chef Paul Jenkins prepared cider-brined chicken with apple chutney, cheddar mashed potatoes, arugula and sweet onion salad and pumpkin bisque, and a pear and cranberry crisp with cream for dessert.
Principal Rebecca Reeder said, "There's a large amount of interest" in food made from scratch.
"To be able to sit down, enjoy a nice dining experience in the middle of a busy day" is one of the main goals of the new cafeteria system, said Leslie Johnson, vice president for finance and operations at the school.
Brianna Fenzl is a sophomore at Nardin Academy.

cute b&b with friendly hostPublié le 21 mai 2015 sur Hotels
Simon is a great host. Very nice and accommodating. Place is a little bare but good for what you pay. The room can be a little noisy in the morning when everyone is getting up and out.

Easy walking distance to the Vatican.Publié le 16 oct. 2014
Les + : Easy access to the underground transportation system. Very secure with three locked doors from the street to our room.
Situation : Easy to find and a couple of very good restaurants within a few short blocks.
Simonetta was a wonderful hostess, she sent us a lot of information and recommendations when we first booked our accommodation. She arranged for the Roma passes we wanted to be at the B&B shortly after our arrival and booked our visit to the Galleria Borghese when we wanted to go.

BB emplacement et accueil très positifsPublié le 14 oct. 2014
Les + : emplacement et accueil. Le petit déjeuner
Les - : la chambre qui manque un peu de luminosité
Situation : le vatican et le centre historique de Rome
Simonetta est une personne attentive au bien être de ses hotes. Dés la réservation, elle nous fait parvenir des informations sur la ville. Elle prodigue de précieux conseils, son accueil et la propreté des lieux sont au top. le petit déjeuner est copieux; bref, rien à redire; de plus son BB est à proximité du métro (ce qui est trés appréciable à ROME) et du vatican.. Une adresse à recommander vivement.et une note de 9 sur 10.

Superb location near Vatican and SubwayPublié le 11 oct. 2014
Les + : Location was perfect, room was nice, large, with good bathroom/shower and the first "real" towels we'd had after two weeks in Italy.
Les - : This is not a hotel, it's a B and B in a city. Make sure Simonetta has your cell phone/email contacts and she'll help you!
Situation : Perfect location, one block from Cipro subway stop, local fruit/vegetable market and nice restaurants and deli's. ten minute walk to Vatican.
Simonetta is fluent in English, she acted also as concierge, arranging reservations to tour the Borghese Gallery (very cool) and to participate in the general audience where Pope Francis goes around in the "pope mobile" and blesses the crowd. The room is in a flat that has been divided into bedroom/bath units all sharing the main entry. Simonetta came early two mornings to have breakfast and coffee ready for us. She also arranged the driver to take us early to the airport. It was nice to have someone working with us who knows the "ins and outs" of vacationing in Rome. This would also be a great place for someone traveling on business to Rome.

Nice room in walk distance from VaticanPublié le 30 juin 2014
Les - : Cleaning lady does not know what clean is. Same ball of dust was under my bed during all 8 days of my stay. Makes you wander...
It is not hotel room, as we normaly imagine a Hotel. It is one of rooms in regular apartment in regular (for Rome) apartment building. The owner/concierge/breakfast servant is very welcoming, kind of warm-wrap-arounding, but absolutely not intrusive at same time. She 's always ready to provide you with all info you ask for and above. She wil tell you everything she knows about your subject. Overall stay there was pleasing and I definitely will come back there again.

Amazing B&BPublié le 27 mai 2014
Les + : It was clean and organized and felt like home!
Les - : Hard to find from the street level when you don't know what you're looking for.
Situation : Right near the metro and very close to the Vatican city. Only 15 minute train ride to the main station so relatively central location
Simonetta was an amazing host! I arrived 45 minutes later than I said I would be she was very gracious about it. The room was very clean, well organized and quiet even though it was on a busy street. The patio off the breakfast room was fantastic to sit on in the morning just reading a book. All around a very gorgeous place that I would definitely stay in again!

Sri Lanka increase Salaries of University Lecturers
Despite Sri Lanka's striking university teachers, Federation of University Teachers' Associations stepping back from their ongoing strike that dragged for nearly four months; Sri Lanka had increased the salaries of University Lectures with effective from 1st October 2012.
Speaking to the Asian Tribune Secretary to the ministry of Higher Education Dr. Sunil Jayantha Nawaratne said that accordingly the Salary of a Senior Professor has been increased to Rs. 140,721.
As at 30th June the salary of Senior Professor was nearly Rs. 119,000 and by 01st July 2012 it was increased to Rs.131,329 and with yesterday's increase now it has increased by over Rs.21,000" Dr. Nawaratne said adding during the last four months a salary of a Senior Professor had increased by over 18.25%.
Subsequently the salary of a Senior Lecturer had been increased to Rs. 98,761 and the salary of an Assistant Lecturer has been increased to Rs. 55,775.
"The lowest grade Assistant Lecturer or Lecturer on probations salary alone had been increased by Rs.21, 32 on 1st July 2012 from Rs.52,857 and further to current level of Rs.55,775 as at 1st October 2012 and it is nearly a 5.52% increase.
Dr. Nawaratne added that the latest salary increase is a part of the series increments that came into effect for university lecturers salaries.
He noted that it's only the Finance Ministry that has its powers to increase the salaries of the lecturers.
On the contrary as per data the salary of the Chief Justice of Sri Lanka amounts to only Rs. 70,000, the salary of a Secretary to the Ministry range to Rs. 44,000, the salary of an Administrative Service staff is only Rs. 29,810 and the salaries of the graduate service amounts to Rs. 15,635.
The Ministry of Higher Education further noted that no government in the past has increased the salaries of lecturers by this proportion.
Sri Lankan university lecturers are also entitled to some of the other perks and privileges including to retire late at 65 years of age, and upon completion of 8 years service, becomes entitled to a duty free vehicle permit renewable every 5 years, 3 years and 9 months fully paid study leave to study for Darshanapathy and Doctorates, 7 years leave and one year's salary to further their educational activities and 42 days fully paid leave when they go for foreign countries for lectures, seminars and workshops and with free air tickets provided for them and their spouses for overseas studies and they can join any local and foreign institution and earn another salary and earn any consultation fee on consultation they provide for private companies on a project basis. University lecturers are also entitled for housing loans under concessionary interest rates and can provide advisory service to any institution and can get 90% of the remuneration received from such service. They are also entitled for post graduate scholarships and for 3 months vacation leave and 42 days full paid leave annually.
In Sri Lanka generally an external lecturer will get paid at the rate of Rs.1, 500 per hour, whilst university lecturers are entitled from Rs. 3,000 to Rs.5,000 for post graduate lectures and for additional payment for conducting university examinations, for preparing question papers, for marking answer scripts, for acting as invigilators, for scrutiny of thesis, and for invitee lectures.
On the contrary, several parent and university undergraduates learning at private universities in Sri Lanka outline that several private education houses that has affiliations with American, British and Australian Universities are paying commissions to the same university lecturers on a per student basis to fail in their exams such that those students are continuously contributing cash as fees for those private companies.
"In our private university that offers us American Degree programs, British Degree Programs and Australian university programs we have nearly 10 to 20 lecturers who are also lecturing at government universities and each class room is only accommodating a maximum of 30 students.
But our private university owning company pays commissions to university lecturers for each student they fail so that the private university can retain those students as income generating instruments for the owning company," Shehan Lenadora a student at a Sri Lankan private university said.
Whilst Shehan Lenadora learns at private university owned by a leading private insurance company in Sri Lanka –the only remaining subsidiary of a failed business conglomerate and a tycoon - he said that similar practices are being done by some private universities that are also owned by an automobile company and another university owned by a conglomerate that is into many freight forwarding ventures in the island nation.
"I have many friends who are learning at different private universities in Sri Lanka and they also tell me these type of unethical practices are being conducted," Lenadora said.
While Shehan Lenadora pays nearly US $ 2,000 per semester for his private university, he said government will also need to safeguard the future education of Sri Lankan students who are falling prey to private companies that try to make exorbitant profits from private education ventures with foreign universities.
Dinesh Lokuhetty another student from a private university said, "It is sad Sri Lanka has only 14 public universities that only accommodate nearly 20,000 students, so most of us among over 300,000 students who pass out from Ordinary Levels and Advanced levels, go to private universities but we learn from same lecturers - but those lecturers are happily serving at private universities since they are paid commissions to fail the future generation of our country."
"A lecturer at our university is nearly paid at the range from Rs.150,000 to Rs.300,000 per month," Shehan Lenadora said.
Meanwhile, yesterday the union of Sri Lanka's striking university teachers, Federation of University Teachers' Associations (FUTA) expressed willingness to step back from their unyielding demands that asked for 20% increase of their salaries.
As the union faced criticism from many segments of the public including the parents and students affected by the strike for failing to reach a resolution with authorities due to their unwavering stance, FUTA secretary Terrence Madujith speaking behalf of the union admitted it was difficult to allocate that amount of money for education instantly, and the FUTA secretary called on the government to promise to grant their demand within a certain period by gradually increasing expenses for education.
Sri Lankan government's 2013 appropriation bill, which last week received cabinet approval, has increased the funds allocated for the education and higher education sectors in the next year's budget. Allocations to the Education Ministry has been increased by Rs. 3.43 billion from last year to Rs. 37.9 billion while the Higher Education Ministry has been allocated Rs. 27.9 billion, which is an increase of Rs 4.1 billion from 2012.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
When we decided to do a poll on Joker-centric stories, we figured it would be better to avoid one-shots because we knew that the Killing Joke would likely dominate. Once we got the multi-issue vote out of the way, though, we thought, "What the heck, let's see what people think about the done-in-ones as well!"
Click here to vote.
Read on for a more detailed list of the nominees (as once again, there's not a lot of room in the poll for information)!
"Arkham Asylum" OGN
"Batman: Hunt the Dark Knight"
"The Batman Adventures: Mad Love"
"The Clown at Midnight" (Batman #663)
"Death Has the Last Laugh" (Brave and the Bold #111)
"Dreadful Birthday, Dear Joker… !" (Batman #321)
"The Great Clayface-Joker Feud" (Batman #159)
"Joker" OGN
"Joker: Devil's Advocate" OGN
"The Joker's Five-Way Revenge" (Batman #251)
"The Joker's First Appearance" (Batman #1)
"The Joker's Utility Belt!" (Batman #73)
"The Killing Joke" OGN
"The Man Behind the Red Hood" (Detective Comics #168)
"The Man Who Laughs" OGN
Click *where* to vote?
My vote goes to Batman vs. The Incredible Hulk. Any votes for "Emperor Joker" in the other poll should go to Batman vs. The Incredible Hulk as well.
Whoops, sorry, Chris. The link is fixed!
Ha! I just figured the link was near-invisible like they've been ever since the latest redesign, but I guess this time it really isn't there.
I'm surprised the Slayride issue of Detective comics by Paul Dini isn't in there. Also, I hope the comments don't turn into a middle finger waving, opinion slamming jerk contest like last time.
Yeah, my immediate thought was that Slayride would make it a tough decision.
It has to be The Killing Joke for me. (Spoilers for The Killing Joke below.)
It's hard to say why. The art is wonderful, of course. The idea of a backstory for the Joker isn't a very interesting place (who cares?) but it's handled wonderfully, then thrown aside at the end with the "multiple choice" line in a move that had to influence the excellent multiple-backstoried Joker of The Dark Knight.
Maybe because it was one of the first Batman comics I ever read, and it stuck with me.
Maybe because the idea of a Joker lookalike hiding out in Arkham was an interpretation of the classic "Joker escapes from Arkham" that sidestepped the awkward parts of the idea (how the F does he keep doing that?) and gets right to the menace – he's on the loose, and god only knows how long.
The shooting of Barbara Gordon is horrifying, brutal, and perverse, but exactly the sort of brutality the Joker casually inflicts on others. Again, this note is perfectly hit. There's a reason this became such a defining moment for the Batman franchise.
But, of course, I've been dancing around the real reason. You've thought of it too. That final scene, in the right, with the lights of the cop cars approaching, Batman catches the Joker and they have a brief, impossible heart-to-heart. For just one moment, the implacable foe shares a laugh our hero, and we see a glimpse of the madness in the heart of our protagonist. Two madmen, one trying to stop the other, endlessly succeeding and endlessly failing. There's a reason I like it when writers imply that Batman is almost as crazy as the villains he faces (like when Morrison has Jezebel Jet try to talk Bruce into seeing his mission as the war of a poor, lost boy against a world he can't possibly change) and it's because here the seeds were planted.
That finale sticks with me. Two men who hate each other, who have hurt each other, briefly having a moment of humanity. Nothing has changed, this is no story of redemption or corruption, but through all the stress, adrenaline and madness, they find themselves sharing a moment. We all have these moments, all the time. In the real world, we just call it "life". When it happens in a Batman comic, I don't think it's out-of-character or improbable, I think it's realistic and touching.
Plus, you know that Batman is about to beat the living hell out of the guy when the book is over.
I know Alan Moore has made comments that are critical of this book, but screw it, I enjoy it anyways. There are plenty of great Joker stories, but this one deserves a place at the top.
Anyone who doesn't vote for Dreadful Birthday, Dear Joker needs an education about the Joker.
It's a delightful (18-page!) story where the Joker twists a concept on its ear, turns it into a gruesome horrorshow, and still gets laughs all the way through. It's got tons of classic Joker gags: the "Bang! You're Dead" gun gag, the most iconic "is he dead?" ending (that actually stuck for OVER A YEAR in real-time!), the brilliant, twisted wordplay ("You're out of your MIND, Joker," Robin sneers, but Joker just smiles. "GLORIOUSLY so! Isn't it WONDERFUL?")
You get more characterization for the Joker in this one story than in 5 overly-drawn out massive cross-overs where he's supposed to be the villain.
Plus, the art by Simonson is a delight.
It's fun, funny, and is just a great match-up of two brilliant forces of nature in a classic story that should forever be remembered by all. It made the Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told collections for all of these reasons and more!
This is a ridiculously good done-in-one Batman/Joker story which nobody seems to have read.
Slayride is a good one.
I wonder if "Batman:Hunt the Dark Knight" isn't getting many votes because people don't realize it's Dark Knight Returns #3? It took me a few seconds to realize what story that was based on the title alone. Then the ol' fly zapper buzzed back to life and I remembered. I think I'd probably go for that one, just because of the gruesome nature of the final scenes. Plus, David Endochrine!
Yeah, I like Killing Joke, but I think there are too many problems with it, particularly the end.
I like how in the Oracle Year One story (in Batman Chronicles 5, iirc), Babs confronts Batman about that when he visits her in the hospital. "I hear you were laughing with the man who put me here. WTF?" And of course, social misfit Batman has no answer to that (since there IS no good answer to that), so he just disappears. Dick.
The correct answer is "Joker's Five-Way Revenge" by the master of comics, Denny O'Neil. Not only is it an excellent issue where Joker recognizes the depth of his rivalry with Batman, but it restored Joker to his status as maniacal killer, without removing the veneer of wicked mirth. One of the best single issue I've ever read.
LOVE "Mad Love", although it's more Harley-centric than Joker-centric.
It's a shame "The Man Who Killed Batman" episode can't be included, cus that's a great Joker story.
You forgot that one about the Joker's boner.
I honestly think it's hard to argue that anything other than The Killing Joke is the greatest single Joker story of all time. All of the stories listed here are great, but The Killing Joke is a) just that good and b) just that influential. The only story that has an equal influence is The Joker's Five Way Revenge and that story, while excellent, doesn't quite get to the core of the Joker as much as The Killing Joke does.
That being said, I still voted for The Clown at Midnight.
Wasn't "The Great Clayface-Joker Feud" actually in World's Finest #159 instead of Batman?
penguintruth is correct. With the Moore idolizing here at the CBR it's no surprize that the Killing Joke would win out though. Bolland does do an exceptional job and the effect it HAD on the DC universe was immence (am I the only one who believes that having Babs paralyzed and to a lesser extent Roy one-armed was a great way for DC to show the price,sacrifice,yada yada, of heroism?), but the end was just too out of character, especially after what Joker had done.
Wasn't "The Great Clayface-Joker Feud" actually in World's Finest #159 instead of Batman?
The Joker's Five Way Revenge was robbed.
I really gave this some thought and almost went for "Joker's Five-Way Revenge." But I felt I had to go with The Killing Joke.
Even though I have more reservations about some parts of it than I do with 5-Way (nothing's perfect), in the end it came out on top for me.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Beginning with my December of 2003 they cut back on what they paid my doctor. Out of $1034 they were paying over $300; that was cut to $135. They had stopped paying for the "procedure" in which the doctor fills my pump; in addition they stopped paying for the actual syringe he used.
A few months later they stopped paying for the actual medication that is injected into my pump. The last few visits my doctor billed them $604 and they paid him $37!!!!! My family doctor gets paid more for treating a sinus infection!
I received a letter in the mail the other day referencing one of the payments I had complained about. They wrote that my doctor had negotiated the amount he is paid (we are talking about the $130 not the $37 they pay him now - they are months behind answering complaints) and I do not have to worry because I am not responsible for the difference between what my doctor bills and how much they pay. So I need not worry.
Instead, when I went for my pump refill this past week the receptionist handed me a letter stating that my doctor will NO LONGER be accepting Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of NJ due to abnormally low reimbursements! It was like a slap in the face.
I am dependent upon having this pump filled with medication every 10 weeks. Had I known this would have happened down the road; I would have never agreed to have it put in. The Intrathecal Morphine Pump (which is placed in my abdominal area directly under the skin)pumps pain medication directly to the spinal fluid, through a catheter; which in turn takes the medicine to the pain receptors in the brain. The result is I no longer have to take oral pain medication and my body uses a lot less medication and I get better relief.
Before I had the pump implanted; my pain was so servere that 600 mgs. a day of MSContin did not work!! I was in so much pain. Since my condition is irreversable and cannot be "fixed" (nerve damage and degenerative disc disease in my lower back) and I was still in my 40's at the time; they doctor felt it would be easier on my digestive system and my liver to take medication through the pump.
I am still in a lot of pain and will never be pain free -- but this pump has at least helped!!! In addition when I was taking 600 mg. of MS Contin a day it was costing Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of NJ nearly $1000 a month! The amount of money I saved them by having this pump implanted is a lot; especially since I had been taking oral pain medication for 8 years before the pump.
I've written the CEO; the Commissioner of Insurance for the State of New Jersey and our Governor. I am more than willing to start a class action lawsuit against this insurance company because they are supposed to pay for their customers medical expenses according to the contract. Anyone who is having this same problem who wants to join me; please let me know.

I have two problems with using this plugin:
1st one is that when I use the WP search box, it cannot find any of the listings - making it useless (not search box enabled).
2nd Problem is that I would like to have some kind of Category links on the side, which I guess can be created with different pages, but only 1 category type and no sub-categories won't do the trick!
Either of the above concerns some kind of a Business search/sorting mechanism - I expect my website to generate thousands of listings and people have to scroll through each one to find the right one (let's say search a business by town/location), nobody would do it.
Is it possible to get any help with this, because otherwise this plugin looks promising?

With no centralized Islamic religious authority like a Pope or Dalai Lama, pretty much any Muslim "scholar" can create a fatwa, a religious edict for modern life supposedly guided by the Koran or the (less authoritative) hadiths- stories from Muhammad's life. In recent years, supply has far outstripped demand, and it's getting laughable. Most fatwas are harmless and a little mundane, but lately, some Islamic jurists have gone straight crazy.
Sun and Earth
The Fatwa: Grand Mufti Sheikh Ibn Baaz: The Sun Revolves Around the Earth
In a 2000 Fatwa titled "The Transmitted and Sensory Proofs of the Rotation of the Sun and Stillness of the Earth", Saudi Arabian Grand Mufti Sheikh Ibn Baaz asserted that the earth was flat and disk-like and that the sun revolved around it. He had insisted that satellite images to the contrary were nothing but a Western conspiracy against the Islamic world.

Satanic Verses
The Fatwa: Ayatollah Khomeini: Kill for A Book None of Us Can Should Read!
In 1988, publication of Salman Rushdie's novel "The Satanic Verses" led Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini to issue a fatwa against Rushdie, with a huge bounty for his death. This triggered several attacks on the novel's translators, publishers and booksellers, including the murder of Japanese translator Hitoshi Igarashi. Millions of Muslims around the world who had never read a single line of the book, and who had never even met Rushdie before, wanted him dead. Interesting fact, 24% of Iranians at the time couldn't even read.

The Fatwa: Malaysian National Fatwa Council: Tomboy fatwa
A University of Massachusetts study recently reported that girls who play sports have higher self esteem, and are less likely to enter (or remain in) abusive relationships. Could this fact have threatened the he-men at the Malaysia National Fatwa Council? Maybe. Perhaps that's why Kuala Lumpur had a near riot on their hands when the Sisters in Islam marched against a Malaysian fatwa banning tomboys, which branded any girls who act un-ladylike as violating Islamic tenets. Fortunately, the as-yet undefined punishment for Malaysian girls in t-shirts and jeans hasn't been incorporated into Sharia law yet.

Mickey Mouse
The Fatwa: Muhammad Al-Munajid: Bring Me the Head of Mickey Mouse
That's right, somebody put on hit on Mickey Mouse. Calling Mickey "one of Satan's soldiers," Sheikh Muhammad Al-Munajid decreed that household mice and their cartoon cousins must be "killed in all cases", according to the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph.
And get this—the guy's not your average nutjob, either—Munajid used to be a former diplomat at the Saudi embassy in Washington D.C. He made the remarks on Arab television network al-Majd TV after he was asked to give Islam's teaching on mice.
But don't worry, Mickey won't be alone. Munajid also put a hit on Jerry from "Tom and Jerry". Maybe they could rent a flat with Salman Rushdie (above).
Source: Report: Saudi Cleric Says Mickey Mouse 'Must Die'.
The Fatwa: Multaqa Ahl al Hadeeth: Emoticon fatwa
I can almost get behind this one. Sure, they're annoying, but evil? Really? Well, to a Muslim forum looking to make a name for itself—yes.
According to Muslim Internet Forum Multaqa Ahl al Hadeeth, "Emoticons are forbidden because of its imitation to Allah's creatures whether it is original or mixture or even deformed one and since the picture is the face and the face is what makes the real picture then emoticons which represent faces that express emotions then all that add up to make them Haram." Additionally, "A woman should not use these images when speaking to a man who is not her mahram, because these faces are used to express how she is feeling, so it is as if she is smiling, laughing, acting shy and so on, and a woman should not do that with a non-mahram man. It is only permissible for a woman to speak to men in cases of necessity, so long as that is in a public chat room and not in private correspondence."

The Fatwa: Football fatwa
No, not even the beautiful game is safe from stupid fatwas. As part of a government drive to eliminate frivolous fatwas, the Saudi newspaper Al Watan lampooned one very real edict setting out new rules for football. Ridiculous demands included "do not play with 11 people like the heretics, Jews, and Christians", and "play in your pyjamas or regular clothes (because) colored shorts and numbered T-shirts are not Muslim clothing". Especially ridiculous is the edict to "remove the crossbar in order not to imitate the heretics and in order to be entirely distinct from the soccer system's despotic international rules."

The Fatwa: Infidel Vaccine
Polio is actually increasing in India, Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Why? Because an anti-polio fatwa by anti-Western clerics forbid Pakistani children from immunizations, because the clerics are saying the vaccine is a conspiracy to make Muslims sterile. Ironically, it's the clerics' plans that would produce this result, as dead/paralytic kids don't breed all that much.

Nudity and Sex
The Fatwa: Rashad Hassan Khalil: No Nudity for Sex
In 2007, the former dean of Islamic law at al-Azhar University in Cairo issued a fatwa that nudity during sexual intercourse invalidates a marriage between husband and wife. Debate was immediate. Suad Saleh, head of the women's department of Al-Azhar's Islamic studies, pleaded for "anything that can bring spouses closer to each other" and Islamic scholar Abdel Muti concurred, saying "Nothing is prohibited during marital sex, except of course sodomy."
For his part, Al-Azhar's fatwa committee chairman Abdullah Megawar backpedaled and said that married couples could see each other naked but should really cover up with a blanket during sex.

The Fatwa: Sheik Ali Gomaa: Urine Fatwa
According to Egypt's Grand Mufti, Sheikh Ali Gomaa, drinking the urine of Muhammad is deemed a great blessing. What, they have a lot of this stuff lying around, going to waste or something? Remember, Muhammad never claimed that he himself was divine—so why does his piss have magic properties? Failing to pass the laugh test with Muslim scholars, Mufti later recanted, saying it was only his "personal opinion".

The Fatwa: Ezzat Attiya: Adult Breastfeeding in the Workplace
In May 2007, Ezzat Attiya wondered how unrelated men and women could work together in the same office, when Islam forbids men and women who aren't married or related to be alone together. His answer: let her suckle him FIVE TIMES. Yes, that's right, an adult female breastfeeding an adult male coworker will defuse all sexual tension in the office. See, the female worker will now be the male worker's foster mother, and they can be alone together anytime. Attiya's ruling was intergalactically mocked, and quickly condemned on the homefront as well. He was later suspended from his job, pilloried in Arab newspapers, and issued a hasty retraction saying it was a "bad interpretation of a particular case."

In many ways, the work of environmentalists (or anyone concerned with a healthy, sustainable world, whatever label they've given themselves) is about replacing or minimizing our impact on the Earth. But what would happen if humans, the culprit of so many environmental problems, just vanished?
You might wonder, if we're no longer around, why it would matter to us what would happen? But asking and answering these questions provides an interesting and sometimes surprising perspective of how the way we live affects and alters the rest of the planet, from other species to the physical landscape. The answers reveal that some of what we consider our sturdiest creations wouldn't last much more than a decade without us, yet some less tangible, seemingly less stable contributions may last millennia. Some species will disappear not long after us, either as winter arrives when there's no one to turn on the heat, or after the last growing season, with no one to cultivate the next year's crop. The exercise puts into perspective the decisions we're making right now, and provides, in planetary terms, a long-term view of the repercussions of these decisions and subsequent actions.
What would happen to the infrastructure, power plants – even art? Looking at the innovations we've produced – concrete, plastics, etc. – how long would they last once abandoned to the elements? How would they break down, if they would; and what happens as they deteriorate? Not to mention plants, animals and bacteria. Which animals would miss us, and which would thrive in our absence? In what ways have we forever (or pretty darn close) changed the state of things on Earth?
In The World Without Us, Alan Weisman dissects the present and past with archeologists, engineers, biologists and myriad other experts to answer these questions. The premise that all homo sapiens suddenly disappear while everything else remains intact may be unlikely, but once you're in, the book is packed with intriguing ideas and information. So, if all humans vanish, how long does it take for things to change, and what exactly happens? Here's a quick look — from the book and WorldWithoutUs.com — at how some changes would unfold:
This short list is interesting, but the book is fun (in a geeky, quirky kind of way) and full of great trivia (who knew about the underground city Derinkuyu beneath Cappadocia, Turkey?). In the grand scheme of things, it may not matter what happens if we all mysteriously, simultaneously vanish – to us, anyway. In any case, if we're the only thing that goes, it's almost guaranteed that eventually the Earth will wear away most traces that we were ever here – well, except those pesky radio waves, but they'll be long gone into space. But in posing and attempting to answer the question, The World Without Us provides an intriguing and informative look at the way we impact the world around us, and the effects and life cycles of that which we create and leave behind.

Since retiring from my teaching career I've discovered that there is life outside of the classroom! I spend parts of most of my days indulging in my favorite hobbies of quilting and sewing. I started designing patterns as an experiment, and no one was more surprised than I was to find that other people liked my little designs. I try to write my patterns in such a way that beginning quilters can follow them. I include lots of details, photos, and little informative notes, so even if they look complicated, the instructions should be easy to follow.

The twitter of birds in the trees and the busy comings and goings of a little birdhouse family make for hours of pleasure. There is something warm and caring about about providing a home for birds in a backyard or near a window. It can become a symbol of the warmth of our human home.
The block doesn't have to be part of a quilt. With a pretty border it could easily be turned into a cheerful little wall hanging.
Fusible web applique makes the block quick and easy to sew.
The pattern includes detailed, illustrated instructions, full size templates for the applique pieces, and two full size layout plans.
For more information about the quilt along visit my blog: klee2strings.blogspot.com
Posts about this quilt can be found under the label "Quilt Along Mystery Quilt" found on the right hand side of my blog. Photos of blocks sent by participants in the quilt along are located in the quilt along photos page at the top of my blog.

Bob Costas' halftime gun control comments on 'SNF'
Sportscaster Bob Costas became a lightning rod for criticism and praise after his essay about gun control during Sunday's prime-time football game on NBC.
Costas spoke out one day after the murder by Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher of his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins. Belcher killed himself not long after the murder. In his remarks, Costas quotes extensively from an essay by Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock, concluding: »Read Full Blog Post(146)

SUBMITTED: Thursday, October 28, 2004POSTED: Thursday, October 28, 2004
I too was scammed by "SCAMCO" with a different issue, but I found this website and did what needed to be done.
I have found the State's Insurance Division to be quite helpful when it comes to dirty dealings.
Contact: Commonwealth of xxxxxx, Office of Consumer Affairs & Bus. Regulations, Division of Insurance.
As far as CAMCO goes, send them a cease and desist letter. You can reference this website for a sample letter:
They cannot contact you after this, and always
ask them if you can record the phone conversation-they love that! I'm surprised they took things this far, maybe you could find out the person's name who messed with State Farm and have some of their insurance cancelled. Ha! Good Luck.

Nasi Goreng
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 10 mins
Indonesians eat this for breakfast, it is simple and traditionally there isn't much to it but rice spices and a fried egg. For best results use rice cooked the day before. This version is rather hot so you could reduce the amount of chili. Shallots in Indonesian cooking are small and red and sweet but you can use French shallots. Fried shallots are sprinkled on a lot of Indonesian food and you can find them already fried at Asian grocers, or you can just leave them out.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 500 g rice, cooked and cold
- 4 shallots, peeled
- 4 garlic cloves, peel
- 1 tablespoon chili, red and chopped
- 1⁄4 cup oil
- 3 tablespoons ketjap manis
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons shallots, fried
- For easy you can blizt the garlic, shallots and chili, this saves chopping finely.
- Heat the oil and add the garlic/shallot/chili mix and saute for about 2 mins making sure it doesn't burn or the garlic will turn bitter.
- Add the rice, soy & ketup manis, and pepper mashing any lumps out of the rice and mixing the well. Cook a further minute or so to heat through.
- Plate up.
- Fry the eggs to just set the yolks and place on top of the rice, sprinkle with fried shallots.
- Traditionally the eggs are fried in a wok with a quite a bit of oil so they go crispy on the edges and the whites cook quickly leaving a very runny yolk. However, as much as this taste good its probably oil overload.
Most Helpful
We had this for dinner rather than breakfast, and it really hit the spot. Everyone loved it. I was amazed how quickly it came together. Blitzing the shallots, garlic and peppers (I used about 2 tsp sambal oelek instead of peppers) in the magic bullet was a great idea. Due to the sweet shallots and sweet ketjap manis, it's a sweeter fried rice than many other Asian fried rice versions, but very tasty! I also added some Canadian bacon cut in matchstick size pieces and it worked very well. Made for ZWT 6 2010.
This is an unusual breakfast treat, I used homemede Ketjap Manis and homemede Soy Sauce Substitute which I keep on hand for ASIAN Cooking. I loved the fried egg on top, which I fried crispy on the edges with much less oil! Thanks Coasty. Made for Zwizzle Chicks for ZWT6.

Dear Sirs, Received my goods this morning and I am delighted. Thank you very much. Best Regards
November 17th, 2011
The Merino is the most economically influential breed of sheep in the world, prized for its wool. Superfine Merinos are regarded as having the finest and softest wool of any sheep.
Merino sheep produce a clean, white fleece ideal for dying to clear, fresh colours, while the long, fine fibres can be spun to the finest count, woven into the finest fabric and tailored into the finest suits.
The wool has characteristic crimp and elasticity, creating unparalleled style, drape, comfort and performance for the wearer. The handle and lustre is of exceptional softness and kindness to the touch, unlike any other fibre.
For hundreds of years, Merino flocks were the exclusive property of the Spanish Crown and wealthy nobles. King Alfonso of Spain forbade the export of Merino from the 14th Century for over 400 years because of the wool's value to the Spanish economy. In the 18th Century, the King of Spain gave the finest of these coveted flocks to the powerful rulers in Saxony, France and Great Britain. This gift of Kings was eventually shipped to the farthest reaches of the world, including South Africa, Argentina, New Zealand and Australia, where the treasured Merino sheep flourished.
The refined, unique Merino fleece is shorn once a year and is analyzed for micron, colour and brightness, comfort, fibre length and strength amongst other measures of quality. The fineness of Merino wool is measured by its micron value: the lower the number, the finer and better the quality.
The Cashmere goat is to be found principally on the cold and dry highlands of Central Asia at 3,000 to 5,000metres above sea level. From here the wool travels across India and past the Himalayan Mountains, to China, where it is distributed to mills throughout the western world.
Cashmere was first discovered by the nobility of Victorian England and subsequently became one of the most prestigious fibres of the noble fibre family. The low bulk, high loft fibres combine to make the warmest, most comfortable garments money can buy. In softness, warmth and fineness of fibre cashmere is comparable to Vicuna. Cashmere is appropriate for all climates as the high moisture absorbency rate allows the fibres to maintain their insulation properties in varying conditions of relative humidity. The finest fibres are gathered from the saddle of the Cashmere goat and are harvested by carefully combing the goat's fleece during the spring months. Cashmere cloths are luxurious with a soft and seductive handle, beautiful drape and timeless appeal.

BOSTON -- At the end of the Boston Bruins' 6-2 win over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night, Panthers goalie Tim Thomas lost his cool, hitting Boston's Carl Soderberg in the head with his stick after Soderberg hit Thomas while going for a rebound.
In the closing seconds of the game, Soderberg charged into the crease after the puck and inadvertently hit Thomas with his stick. Thomas responded by taking a swing at the Bruins forward. Thomas was given a two-minute penalty for high sticking.
Thomas, who played seven seasons with the Bruins and was making his Boston debut as a member of the Panthers, said he wasn't happy Soderberg was still crashing the net in a game that was already decided.
"With less than a minute left in the game and they're up by four goals," Thomas said, "I took exception to that."
Soderberg said he was just going for a rebound of the puck.
"We can't stop playing just because there's three seconds left," Soderberg said. "I tried to score the whole way."
Soderberg said he had never been hit in the head by a goalie.
"No, I haven't seen that before," Soderberg said. "He hit me in the side of the helmet, I'm fine."
Bruins coach Claude Julien stood firmly behind his player.
"Carl does that even in practice. That's just his way," Julien said. "I'm not going to say he's reckless, but he has no fear. It's great to see a guy like that, with his size, just go in there and get his nose dirty, and it doesn't matter what time of game. You tell your players to play to the final whistle, and that's what he does."

To see how NOT easy this is, go to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-contact-forms/faq/ and look at items four and five. #2 of four is "Field list - this is a container, which is similar to the field set except it does not show a frame around the field groups and has an extra option allowing selecting the list label style: h1, h2, etc."
A search at w3schools for "field list" turns up nothing, nor "fieldlist".
I've been searching google, wp.org, and ECF support for clues (for several hours) about how to change label size and bg color of my form, but to no avail. There is nothing easy about this.
At http://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-contact-forms-looks-great-but-doesnt-work?replies=13 I found "Go into the master css file, which is located in
wp-content> plugins>Easy-contact-forms>forms>styles>formscompressed>css>st
"Open that CSS and add font size and colour to the 3 label tags, as I did here..." which, at first, seemed it may help but where the heck is the wp-content? I think that's on my host, right, and not in ECF files?
How can a form maker be EAsY if you must follow the path, wp-content> plugins>Easy-contact-forms>forms>styles>formscompressed>css>st?
Or maybe I'm a dork and need to be un-ignorated.
I'm going to try something else. Something simpler. Something with support...If I can find a form maker like that. Perhaps I ask too much by wanting to be able to simply control label size and background color. I don't know.
Brilliant ideas welcome and appreciated!
peace & love
