As suspected the pir mufakkir e-islam is wrong.
Here is a reply from shaykh Gibril - may Allah preserve him!`Alaykum as-Salam wa rahmatullah,
The passage in Maqalat al-Islamiyyin refers to the positions of the Muslims as a
whole, including the Mu`tazila, Shi`a and Khawarij, and not just Ahl al-Sunna.
Imam al-Ash`ari states the Sunni Ijma` that Abu Bakr is the best of this Umma
after the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace, in al-Ibana and in Ijma` 46 of
his Risala ila Ahl al-Thaghr, and it is his own position `aqlan as well as
confirmed by Imam Abu Mansur al-Baghdadi in the section on tafdil in his book
Usul al-Din. Imam al-Ash`ari even considered that the proof for the primacy of
Abu Bakr and `Umar, Allah be well-pleased with them, is in the Qur'an, as shown
from the conclusion of his Luma`.
As for the passage quoting Ibn `Abbas it is from Muruj al-Dhahab by al-Mas`udi,
a Shi`i Mu`tazili as Ibn Hajar described him in Lisan al-Mizan (4:225), and he
specifically lambasted that writer's position on the tafdil of Sayyidina `Ali;
on top of which this report is chainless and its Arabic is incoherent. Can you
imagine Mu`awiya repeatedly addressing Ibn `Abbas, Allah be well-pleased with
them, with the words: "Ayyuha ya Ibna `Abbas"??
Observe also how the speaker in the link provided passes quickly over the hadith
in Sahih al-Bukhari in which Ibn `Umar, radya Allahu `anhuma, states the
agreement of the Sahaba: "We used to say in the time of the Prophet, Abu Bakr,
then `Umar, then `Uthman" and instead latches on to some forgery from a Shi`i
book; how then does he expect to be taken seriously after such talbis? No wonder
he does not even mention the hadith of Sayyidina `Ali himself in Sahih
al-Bukhari, stating that when his son Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya asked him: "Who
is the best of people after the Prophet?" he himself replied: "Abu Bakr, then
May Allah Most High show us haqq for what it is and cause us to follow it, and
show us batil for what it is and cause us to shun it.
GF Haddad__________________
1- Shaykh GF Haddad claims that Imam Abul Hasan Al Ash'ari in that " The passage in Maqalat al-Islamiyyin refers to the positions of the Muslims as a whole, including the Mu`tazila, Shi`a and Khawarij, and not just Ahl al-Sunna."
A-By reviewing many pages before and many pages after in the book of Imam Abul Hasan (ra), any beginnger can tell that when Al Imam mentions "Ikhtalafoo" = "they disagreed", he mostly means Ahlus Sunnah. When the Imam wants to include the Shia, or Mutazilah, he usually names them specifically, as he did in a page before page 340 when talking about the fights amongst the Sahaba (ra). In fact, in that passage Al Imam Abul Hasan, did not mention the whole Ummah, and did not indicate anything, except Ikhtalafoo= They disagreed.Here is the full passage, found on page 341 of Maqalat Al Islamiyeen: واختلفوا في التفضيل : فقال قائلون أفضل الناس بعد رسول الله صل ىالله عليه وسلم : أبو بكر ثم عمر ثم عثمان ثم علي.
وقال قائلون: أفضل الناس بعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أبو بكر ثم عمر ثم علي ثم عثمان .
وقال قائلون: نقول أبو بكر ثم عمر ثم عثمان ثم نسكت بعد ذلك .
وقال قائلون : أفضل الناس بعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عليٌّ ثم بعده أبو بكر."
" وقال قائلون : لا ندري أبو بكر أفضل أم علي؟ فإن كان أبوبكر أفضل فيجوز أن يكون عمر أفضل من علي!! ويجوز أن يكون عليٌّ أفضل من عمر ، وإن كان عليٌّ أفضل من عمر فهو أفضل من عثمان لأن عمر أفضل من عثمان وإن كان عمر أفضل من علي فيجوز أن يكون عليٌّ أفضل من عثمان ويجوز أن يكون عثمان أفضل من علي ، وهذا قول الجبائي
Here is verbatum what Imam Al Ash'ari said: ( you judge for yourself).
" They disagreed in the Tafdil:
Some said: the best of people after Rasoolullah- sallallahu alayhi wa sallam-: Abu Bakr, then Umar, then Uthman, then Ali.
Some said: The best of people after Rasoolullah-sallallahu alayhi wa sallam: Abu Bakr, then Umar, then Ali, then Uthman.
Some said: we say: Abu Bakr, then Umar, then Uthman, then we remain silent.
Some said: the best of people after Rasoolullah-sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,: Ali, then Abu Bakr after him.
Those who went to affirmation of the Fadl of Abu Bakr and Umar, that Abu Bakr is Afdal than Umar, and those who went to affirmation of the Fadl of Umar and Uthman, that Umar is better than Uthman.
Some said: we do not know who is Afdhal, Abu Bakr or Ali. if it is Abu Bakr, then it is possible that then Umar is better than Ali, and it is also possible that Ali is better than Umar. And if Ali is better than Umar, then he is better than Uthman, because Umar is better than Uthman. If Umar is better than Ali, then it is possible that Ali is better than Uthman, and it is possible that Uthman is better than Ali, and the latter is the saying of Al Jubba'iy". End of the entire paragraph by Imam Abul Hasan verbatum.
Notes: Al Jubba'iy is a Mutazili scholar. And Al Imam made it clear that this was his opinion, when he was talking about Ahlus Sunnah, to differentiate, when he did not mention any other sect above.
if you read the pages before, you will see clearly that Imam Abul Hasan mentions clearly when it is someone/sect other than Ahlus Sunnah, so people don't get confused.
WHERE IS THE DALEEL From Imam ABUL HASAN himself that in this paragraph he meant the whole Ummah ( Mu'tazilah, Shia, Khawrej, and Ahlus Sunnah). Besides, do we consider the Khawarej as part of the Ummah!!! and do we consider the extreme Shia's as part of the Ummah!!???????? You will find out that the Talbis was with Shaykh GF Haddad when he attributes to Imam Abul Hasan something he didn't say, nor obviously intended.
Shaykh GF Haddad claims that in the paragraph above, Imam Abul Hasan was also including the " including the Mu`tazila, Shi`a and Khawarij " .
Can anyone please -regardless how ignorant in the islamic sects and their ideology- tell me a formal Shia group that says that Ali is better then Abu Bakr after him???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In fact, the 12'ers (Allah guide them) declare Abu Bakr as Kafer- Na'uzu billah. let along a muslim, let along the second in Afdaliyat after Ali. Nor do the Zaydi Shia, whe believe that After Ali is Hasan, and so on. In fact, there is no Shia school that believes in any of the four or even five branches Imam Abul Hasan mentioned about the Afdaliya. Which leads us to two things: either Imam Abul Hasan is ignorant of the Shia, Khawarej, and their differences with Ahlus Sunnah (which is next to impossible), or Mr GF Haddad is guilty of more than just plain ignorance..., Allah guide him.
The Shia's UNEQUIVICALLY favour Ali, then Imam Hasan, then Imam Husayn. Then they branch out to 12'er, Zaydi, Ismaili, Kisani, etc... all the known ones, Imam Abdul Qaher Al Baghdadi and Imam Shaharastani mentioned in their old books about the Islamic sects. None of the Shia sects favor Abu Bakr in anyway over Imam Hasan, or Imam Husayn, or even any one from Ahlul Bayt until the day of judgment, let along over Ali. In fact, the only Shia sect to even consider Sayyidina Abu Bakr as Muslim, are the Zaydi Shia.
Thats not even talking about their stand against Sayyidina Uthman (ra), as NO Shia sect even accepts him remotely, let along to consider him a righteous Khalifah, let along, as one of the best people after the prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam.
I would like to know from Shaykh GF Haddad, which of the Khawarej sects that are known to us in the old books, favour Ali even remotely. In fact, their whole off-shoot was based on their split from Ali and declaring him as Kafir. But then, you make them here agree than Ali is one of the four best people!!!!!!
As far as the Mutazilah: most of the them, went to the absolute Tafdil of Sayyidina Ali over the three, may Allah be pleased with all of them.
Anyone who reads the whole paragraph by Imam Abul Hasan (ra), and compare with the explicit daring Fatawa Shaykh GF Haddad issues again and again, will see the flawed coersion of the texts.
It is one thing to say that Ahlus Sunnah (Allah be pleased with them) settled on the opinion that Sayydina Siddiqque-Akbar (radiya Allahu anhu wa ardaah) is Afdal. This is truely the opinion of Ahlus Sunnah (may Allah be pleased with them that they settled on- because there were disagreement on this issue in every aspect of it, whether it was the sequence of Tafdil, the affirmation of the issue as Qat'i or Thanni, and the tawaqquff in it entirely. The disgareement began from the Sahaba times, till now, and the Imams of Ahlus Sunnah talked about it, and we finally came to the conclusion that the Afdaliyat is based on the Khilafa sequence.end of story.). But it is another thing to practice "intellectual terrorism", demonisation and coersion of the texts to promote your view. Let along calling names and slander to Ulama who disagree, for that then also applies to some Sahaba and Ahlul Bayt who held that view.
It is also worth mentioning, that Sayyidina Imam Abul Hasan (ra) went the absolute Afdaliya of Sayyidina Siddiqque-Akbar (ra) in a Qat'i way, as Imam Abul Hasan himself articulated.
From the above, you will see how Shaykh GF Haddad misrepresented the paragraph of Imam Abul Hasan. He has been known for firely remarks and sitorted opinions about scholars he doesn't agree with. His recent un-called for and quite honestly ugly remarks about Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Tahir Al Qadiri to some brothers in the UK were evident of that. Now Huzoor Mufakire Islam, (adding to the previous list of Ulama) just shows that if you are a scholar who disagree with Shaykh Gibril's view, then you may risk being subject to distorted information and even slander by him, may Allah forgive us and him. I know that he is a sincere person and a good guy with great intentions. But those qualities are not a license for anybody to mock, slander, or belittle other scholars, nor to present mis-representations. Especially with Ulama and the household of our Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam. May Allah preserve and guide him and us. Ya Akhi disagree, but don't mock or slander those you disagree with, don't belittle them and then disagree all you want.
As for Shaykh GF Haddad's criticism that included mockery and slander in this article that Huzoor Mufakire Islam is Mulabbis (covers the Haq with Batel), when he said: " Observe also how the speaker in the link provided passes quickly over the hadith
I will show you that the Talbis was not from Huzoor Mufakire Islam, but from Shaykh GF Haddad, may Allah preserve and guide all.

Cathedral Prep suspends coach, counselor Moffett for insulting e-mail
A Cathedral Prep coach and guidance counselor has been suspended for two weeks without pay after sending an e-mail to the student body that disparaged students who sat with girlfriends, parents or friends at a basketball game rather than in the student cheering section, and also insulted the General McLane and Mercyhurst Prep communities.
Chet Moffett's e-mail following Cathedral Prep's loss in a Dec. 13 basketball game at General McLane said students who preferred to sit with their parents should "cut the umbilical cord and grow a pair," and referred to students who sat with classmates as "boy lovers."
In response to students who chose to sit with their girlfriends, Moffett wrote "if she made or wanted you to sit with her, then she is a high maintenance, selfish pig and you should dump her now."
Moffett also made references to "Mercyworst" and "General McLame," and called General McLane fans "mayonnaise sandwich eating, sister loving, trailer park dwelling clowns."
Cathedral Prep's president, the Rev. Scott W. Jabo, confirmed Monday that Moffett sent the e-mail to the school's entire student body. Jabo said Moffett's intention was to build school spirit, "but unfortunately he showed a lack of judgment."
Jabo said Moffett has since apologized and twice offered to resign his positions on the school's faculty and as its cross country and track and field coach. Instead, Cathedral Prep officials suspended Moffett and will split his pay for the two-week period and send it to General McLane and Mercyhurst Prep to use "as they wish for student programs at their respective schools."
"He was contrite," Jabo said of Moffett. "He took full responsibility. He apologized to the student body and he is in the process of apologizing to Mercyhurst Prep and General McLane. Obviously the e-mail runs contrary to the mission of Cathedral Prep and as such is unacceptable on every level.
"The e-mail does not represent what Prep stands for nor does it define a Man of Prep. Mr. Moffett has taken complete responsibility for his incredible lack of judgment and realizes he made a grievous mistake."
Jabo said Moffett, who has coached at Cathedral Prep since 1998, "has done a lot of good for the school. There is not a string of poor judgment calls on his part. I think this is a lesson learned."
Moffett did not respond to a message left on his cell phone Monday afternoon, but later e-mailed a statement to the Erie Times-News.
"I would like to apologize to the communities of General McLane, Mercyhurst Prep, Cathedral Prep, and anyone else I offended by the e-mail I wrote to our students two weeks ago," Moffett wrote. "It was a complete lapse of judgment on my part, and although it would seem otherwise, it does not represent who I strive to be as a person. I have disappointed my family and countless others, and for that I am embarrassed and truly sorry. I hold myself 100 percent accountable for my actions, and I intend to re-commit myself to living up to the standards and values that have guided me through the better part of my life."
Moffett previously apologized to students by e-mail, a copy of which Jabo provided to the Times-News.
The apology read, in part:
"Last Thursday I sent you all an e-mail about our cheering section at the basketball game. Since that time I have received lots of feedback, both positive and negative. I sat down and looked at the e-mail again and I realized I was wrong. ...
"Please understand, homophobic statements, the mentioning of former students and degrading comments about women are not (and never should be) part of the vernacular of a Man of Prep. For that, I am truly sorry."
Jabo said he, too, wanted to publicly apologize, adding, "the original offensive e-mail does not reflect who we are as Cathedral Prep nor is it reflective of the quality of Chet Moffett's character, and I hope that the action we have taken makes clear that we take such issues seriously."
Moffett's original e-mail made references to a non-region game in which Cathedral Prep gave up an early lead against General McLane and lost 51-46. Moffett wrote in the e-mail that he counted at least 36 students who chose not to sit in the student cheering section, adding, "Gentlemen, that is unacceptable!!"
Jabo was in attendance at the game and said he didn't share Moffett's view.
"Certainly I've seen more spirited crowds, but sometimes that can come with problems, too," Jabo said. "It wasn't wasn't the greatest (student section), but it wasn't horrible."
General McLane superintendent Rick Scaletta and Mercyhurst Prep president Sister Mary Ann Bader did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday afternoon. Cathedral Prep athletic director Bill Flanagan declined to comment.

Hollyburn Lodge
Please vist the Hollyburn 2015 Renewal Project page for updated information on the rebuild of the Lodge.
In the heart of the Cypress Mountain Cross Country Ski Area sits a historic building which boasts a truly unique experience. The Hollyburn Lodge, built in 1926 is a popular destination for all ages. From their weekly music evenings supporting local talents and offering a unique venue experience to a daily stop for our Nordic seasons pass holders, there is something for everyone!
Containing a fully licensed cafe, with daily home cooked creations ranging from hearty soups to vegetarian or meat lasagnas, there are many tasty option for a cold day on the hill. Offered as part of a snowshoe package the 3 course fondue dinners are a huge hit.
Whether you have been a regular at Cypress Mountain for many years or whether it's you first time up on the hill, be sure to stop by the historic Hollyburn Lodge for a hot chocolate, great meal or a visit to check out the unique space!
History of Hollyburn Lodge
In 1923 Rudolph Jules Verne and some companions made their first trip to the North Shore Mountains. Aiming for Grouse Mountain, he ended up taking the ferry to West Vancouver and locating a trail that lead to the western end of Hollyburn Ridge; there he stumbled across the deserted buildings of the Nasmyth Shinglebolt Mill.
After venturing higher up, past the buildings to the Hollyburn Ridge, Rudolph Verne discovered expansive areas of snow on the plateaus below Hollyburn Ridge.
By the end of January 1925, Rudolph Verne and friends had set up a rental shop, lodge and ski school in the abandoned mill. Over night accommodation, ski rentals, meals and entertainment we offered at a charge however the access route took approximately 2-3 hrs to hike up from West Vancouver.
During the winter of 1925-26, little snow fell on the Hollyburn Ridge Area. Rudolph Verne made the decision then to move his operation up to the First Lake Area which was located at a higher elevation with much better snow conditions. With the help of 3 Swedish men (Oscar Pearson, Ole Anderson and Andrew Irvine) and a team of horses, Verne was able to move the dismantled camp on skids through a muddy trail system to the new site located on the west side of First Lake.
With salvaged logs, planks and shakes a new "temporary" structure was built with the intention to build a more elaborate lodge later on. This temporary building was named "Hollyburn Ski Camp".

In January of 1927 the official Camp opened in its new location for business. Guests purchase over night accommodation, meals and danced in the dance hall complete with a gramophone player. Cabins were soon added as extra lodging, constructed from the forested area around the new site.
In 1931 Verne incurred some financial trouble and the operation was sold to the Swedes. The thirties, forties and early fifties were known as Hollyburn's "Golden Age".
During the thirties and forties many hundreds of men and woman would make the trek each Friday evening up from the ferry dock in West Vancouver to the Hollyburn Ski Camp to spend the weekend.

In 1946 the Hollyburn Ski Camp was sold to the Burfield family from the Swedes (Oscar Pearson, Ole Anderson and Andrew Irvine). Increasing visits prompted the Burfield family to build separate Women's and Men's dorms and they then renamed the ski camp the "Hollyburn Ski Lodge".

Into the 1950 and 1960's visits to the Holllyburn Ski Area slowed immensely with the exception of a dedicated group of cabin owners.

In 1973 a 13 million dollar highway was constructed to allow easier access to the newly developed ski area on Black Mountain and Mt.Strachan and a newly improved Nordic Ski area on Hollyburn which opened in 1976. The Burfield family continued to operate Hollyburn Ski Lodge, renting out skis to the growing number of cross country skiers.
In the mid eighties, the BC government announced that the Black Mountain, Mt.Strachan and Hollyburn Ski area would need to sell the operation to a private company as it had become to costly to operate by the government.
In 1984 Cypress Bowl Recreations Ltd. purchased the area. A 50 year Park Use Permit was included in the sale to sustain the operation of the ski facilities that included Black Mountain, Mt.Strachan and Hollyburn. The area as a whole was now referred to as Cypress Mountain and Hollyburn Ski Lodge was also renamed "Hollyburn Lodge", which is still the "temporary" structure that was built by Rudolph Verne in 1926.

Wonderful on a salad made of fresh Asian greens (like tatsoi) and spinach, or over vegetable stir fry with brown rice or buckwheat soba noodles.
The mixture of flavors in this salad is fantastic... even better when the ingredients are in-season. My brother-in-law, who "doesn't eat kale" had two helpings!
Inspired by the cold salad that Brigitte recommends to Lucky in the book "The Higher Power of Lucky" by Susan Patron.
My kids loved the book - and the salad as well!
A surprising ingredient makes this version butter-y and irresisitable!
When you're looking for a small treat that is "clean" (no processed sugars or flours), this is a great option. At 140 calories, 3.4 g protein, and 2.5 g fiber, not bad for a cookie. One is enough to fill you up! (Or make them in 1 Tbs drops (instead of 2 Tbs) and cut those number in half.)
Adapted from a recipe given to me by my mother...
A clean-eating alternative to the seasonal favorite.
A healthier alternative to traditional lasagna. I created it from 2 of the vegetables I had ripe in my garden late this summer and actually cooked it on the grill! Tastes just as good in the winter.
Nutritional Information is for SAUCE ONLY. (Serve with rice or other asian style noodles OR angel hair pasta. Garnish w/ sliced scallions & bean sprouts, if desired.)
Mom's old recipe with a few healthier changes - more veggies and replace the ground beef with ground turkey. Still the same great flavor!
Zang's Restaruant in Denver, Colorado provided this recipe to the Denver Post several years ago. I have modified it, but only slightly. It's amazingly good with fresh greens and fruit (I like spinach, feta cheese, and blueberries

Long-term move seen in Workday
Chris McKhann | [email protected]
optionMONSTER's Depth Charge system detected the purchase of 5,000 January 2016 40 puts for $2.60 today, dominating WDAY's option volume and already topping its total daily average in the last month. The previous open interest at that strike was just 5 contracts, so this is clearly a new position.
Just after the puts were bought, a block of 40,000 WDAY shares was bought for $82. The combination of stock and options creates a delta-neutral position that is looking for a big move up or down in the shares and/or for volatility to be higher than that implied by the option. (See our Education section)
WDAY is down 0.48 percent to $81.43 this afternoon. The stock has been testing resistance at $82 since closing above that price back in mid-September. It bounced off support at $72 two weeks ago.

EAST LONGMEADOW – Patrons of Pasquale's Ristorante who park in the Pride Plaza on North Main Street will soon see signs warning of towing if they continue to park there.
Robert Bolduc, the owner of the Pride Plaza, met with the Planning Board Tuesday to discuss parking violations on his lot.
Bolduc said he has constant problems with patrons of Pasquale's parking their cars in his lot.
Michael Torcia, the owner of Pasquale's, attended the meeting as well, but did not speak about the issue.
"I'm really just here to listen and see what the problem is," he said.
Bolduc said he constantly has cars filling up the spaces meant for the patrons of the gas station and other shops in the plaza. Pasquale's is on left side of Thompson Street, which divides the two properties.
Planning Board Chairman George C. Kingston said he believes this a problem that should be resolved between neighbors.
He suggested that Bolduc put up signs that warn customers that they will be towed if they park in the plaza. He told Torcia to put up a sign on his door warning customers as well.
Bolduc said he was hoping the issue would be resolved amicably without the need for signs.
"No one is going to be happy if they go in for dinner and they come back and their car is gone. And the police department is not going to be happy if they have to start dealing with this," he said.
Pasquale's was closed for close to two years and reopened in 2010. When they met with the board in March of 2010 it was decided that they would not require a special permit to operate the restaurant and that a site plan review would be enough. The parking spaces were calculated according to the seating. There are 231 seats and 46 existing parking spaces with five labeled on Thompson Street.
Bolduc said the parking spaces are not enough. He said he pays for the spaces on his lot and during busy times in the day he needs all of this spaces. The Pride Plaza has a gas station, Lux Boutique, JB's Ice Cream and several other shops.
Bolduc said he will be posting the towing signs soon.

BERGEN COUNTY — Retailer managers say sales are increasing, but the economy is still having a large impact on traffic, according to a survey by a retail real estate service firm.
Levin Management, based in North Plainfield, released the results of its annual mid-year survey of retail managers on June 27.
The firm distributed questionnaires to each of the 1,100 store managers at the properties it manages. The firm's portfolio includes three Bergen County properties: Edgewater Harbor, the Montvale Center and Paramus Place.
Poll respondents reported increased sales over the previous year. In 2011, only about half of the retail managers in the survey said sales had improved or were the same as the previous year, while in 2012, 64 percent said sales volume was better or the same as the previous year.
"This is real, tangible progress," Matthew Harding, president and chief operating officer for Levin Management, said. "Last year, we saw a 50/50 split. Half our tenants were experiencing satisfactory sales performance, and the other half had discouraging sales and store traffic. While 2012's results show we still have a way to go, the numbers clearly have gotten better."
Retail managers reported a similar improvement in traffic. However, 65.9 percent of the respondents said the economy was still having a bigger impact on traffic than other factors like unseasonable warmth or gasoline price.
About half of the 65.9 percent said the economy was having a negative impact, while just 11.9 percent said it was beneficial.
Hiring also seems to be picking up.
More than a quarter of retail managers said they had increased over the first half of the year. In 2011, just 12.6 percent said they had made hires.
Managers also plan to hire more in the second half of the year. The percentage of managers who said they planned to hire increased from 26.7 percent to 36.1 percent from 2011 to 2012.

From American Medical Association, Chicago, IL 60654.
Potential Conflicts of Interest: None disclosed.
Although the USPSTF breast cancer screening recommendations (1) are meant to provide guidance to clinicians and their patients, these and other USPSTF recommendations are released in a public health arena and may have unintended or unforeseen effects on public health. Unfortunately, current practices of the USPSTF seem not to take this into account.
For example, I believe that the recommendation against clinicians teaching breast self-examination (BSE) was related to a particular form of BSE, and that the recommendation, as communicated, may have unintended negative consequences. First, it assumes that most such education occurs through interaction with clinicians. Although the recommendation is only to clinicians, the USPSTF does not explain how it may or may not apply to other settings or persons (for example, health educators and public health departments). Nor does the lack of specificity regarding this recommendation account for the possibility that women may be taught how to be more aware of BSEs and how to conduct them for other reasons, such as finding cysts.
In addition, the language of the recommendations indicates that the only concern is for clinicians and their patients. However, the recommendations are also widely disseminated in the media to women who do not have health care coverage or clinicians to interact with on a regular basis—or if they do, only in emergency situations. The recommendations as perceived by these populations could have the unintended effect of not only decreasing the use of breast cancer detection services (including public health services) but also conveying the impression that these issues are not important for persons without regular health care. Furthermore, there is little consideration about the effect on other health behaviors at a time when the entire health community is urging people to be more aware of and to take a more active role in their health and health behaviors, as well as to shift toward prevention and early intervention before tertiary intervention is required.
Although the USPSTF properly tries to address 1 clinical issue at a time, it operates in an arena in which clinical and public health concerns and effects naturally intermingle and in which persons apply what they have learned about one health behavior to another. As much as the USPSTF may assume otherwise, the recommendations are disseminated not only to clinicians but also to persons who might be patients but in reality have little regular interaction with clinicians and to nonclinicians who regularly address the same or similar health concerns with the patients of others.

I'm thinking more protein? For example, monday's protein comes from 2 eggs, sliced roast beef, and possibly what ever you are stuffing those peppers with.
I very loosely estimate that being anywhere from 25g - 50g or protein, which isn't a whole lot, unless you have a big plate of beef roll ups.

More Khan-fusion with Star Trek Into Darkness
Didn't we straighten all this out already with the Star Trek villain?
In Star Trek Into Darkness, the long awaited sequel to JJ Abrams's 2009 reboot, Benedict Cumberbatch is not playing Khan or Gary Mitchell, he's playing some guy named John Harrison. Right?
Well, once again, there's more villain speculation that Benedict Cumberbatch could actually be playing Khan. And again, we thought this was all settled, and maybe it's just to confuse people, but first we saw a small item on Collider that speculated the villain could actually be Khan after all. Why? In the recent TV commercial he says, "I am better…at everything."
Okay, maybe that's not such a huge giveaway, but as the publication points out, "Khan is a genetically enhanced individual," and "this bit of dialogue jibes with the idea of Cumberbatch actually being Khan."
Then i09 ran a story about what Entertainment Weekly posted on its website in regards to their current cover story on the film, and the "feverish online speculation since the day it was announced – most of it about whether or not the film's resident baddie, John Harrison, is actually the infamous super villain Khan." Then when you go to Entertainment Weekly's Back Issues Store on their website, the headline for the issue says: "Voyage Into the New Star Trek Kirk & Khan."
So this has the net search engines cranking over time. "Is Benedict Cumberbatch Khan after all?," read the Entertainmentwise headline. Perezhilton's headline reads: "Ooops! Entertainment Weekly Accidentally SPOILS the identity of new Star Trek character."
So yes, if all this is to keep everyone guessing until the movie actually comes out, they're doing a very good job of it.
While we don't know for certain who the villain is because nobody's going to actually see the movie for a while, we think it would have been obvious from the trailer and the first nine minutes that have screened on IMAX that the villain's this John Harrison guy. Right? We'll know for sure on May 17 when Star Trek Into Darkness is finally out in the world for all to enjoy.

The Emperor's Club is a 2002 American drama film directed by Michael Hoffman and starring Kevin Kline. Based on Ethan Canin's short story "The Palace Thief," the film follows a prep school teacher and his students at a fictional boys' prep school, St. Benedict's Academy, near Washington, D.C.
It was filmed at Emma Willard School in Troy, New York, although St. Benedict's Academy is said to be modeled after Phillips Exeter Academy, a preparatory school in Exeter, New Hampshire. Kline, discussing the film at his alma mater, St. Louis Priory School, said that he modeled his character after the Rev. Dom Timothy Horner, an English Benedictine monk and headmaster of Priory when Kline was enrolled there.
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (May 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In 2001, William Hundert, a retired Classics teacher, is flown out to a luxurious resort in the Hamptons owned by one of his former students in order to be the guest of honor in an impromptu reunion. As he gets settled in he reflects on the turn of events in a flashback of his time working at Saint Benedict's Academy, a prestigious preparatory school.
Twenty-eight years earlier, a younger Mr. Hundert is enthusiastic about the start of the school year. His class turns out to be a strict yet inspiring lesson for the freshmen. They include laid-back Louis Masoudi, the introverted Martin Blythe, and the studious Deepak Mehta, all highly intelligent. Hundert inspires his students to study hard in order to become one of the three contestants for The Emperor's Club and be crowned "Mr. Julius Caesar", a competition which puts the top three students of his class in a contest where they will be asked questions regarding the Classics. When the headmaster explains the contest to the students, he mentions that Martin's father was once a "Mr. Julius Caesar".
Hundert quickly gains the respect of his class and the school year gets off to an orderly start. However, Hundert's tightly controlled world is shaken when a new student, Sedgewick Bell, walks into his classroom. Bell is the cocky son of a senior U.S. senator who possesses none of Hundert's principles. A fierce battle of wills begins between Hundert and Bell. Bell's rebellious nature quickly makes him the interest of the class, as he not only is willing to talk back against Hundert, he also freely shares pornographic material and is willing to play hooky and travel off-limits to a nearby prep school for girls.
After Sedgewick orchestrates a prank then spoofs the class, Hundert humiliates Bell when he asks him to name a single Roman Emperor. When Bell cannot, Hundert asks the other students to name the line of succession of the Roman Empire, to which the boys perfectly recite the chronological order. This embarrasses Bell when he realizes that while the other boys enjoy his pranks, they are unwilling to slack off in their studies. Hundert also makes a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with Senator Bell from West Virginia. Bell's father is clearly uninterested in his son's character development while at St. Benedict's, instead telling Hundert just to teach Bell lessons so he can graduate, giving Hundert some insight into the younger Bell's upbringing.
Hundert returns to St. Benedict's, where in a phone call, Senator Bell chews out Sedgewick for wasting his time in having to see Hundert and his money on the tuition; yet he does not reprimand Sedgewick for goofing off in class. After seeing a chastised Sedgewick, Hundert tries to develop a closer student-teacher relationship and become a mentor to Bell in order to help change him into a better man. Bell starts studying, proving to be a bright student, and his grades improve enormously. Bell finishes in fourth place in Hundert's competition that precedes the Emperor's Club contest, along with classmates Masoudi, Blythe, and Mehta. Hundert privately decides to raise his grade on the final essay after reviewing it again, thus moving him above Blythe, the third place winner. Hundert is caught between celebrating Bell's newfound success and feeling guilty when he sees a despondent Blythe sitting all by himself under a tree. Hundert is also saddened by the fact that another teacher, with whom he has a growing friendship, is moving to England due to her husband's job.
The entire school watches the competition as the three contestants are quizzed by Hundert. After many questions, the confident Masoudi is eliminated after he makes an incorrect answer. Hundert becomes increasingly suspicious of Bell raising his toga to his head to think. When Hundert takes a recess to confer with the headmaster on suspicion of cheating, he is urged to give Bell a pass, as Senator Bell is in attendance. Rather than confront Sedgewick, Hundert instead asks him a question not in the books, "Who was Hamilcar Barca?", knowing full well that the answer would not be on any materials used to cheat (it was not in the curriculum) but knowing that Mehta would be able to answer it because Hundert knew that Mehta, who had an interest in military science, was reading about Barca on his own time. Bell is stumped and Mehta is crowned Mr. Julius Caesar. Afterwards, Bell admits to Hundert that he cheated by placing crib notes on the inside of his toga sleeve, and wonders why he was not taken to task. Although Hundert does not publicize this, the trust he once had with Bell is broken.
Students move up to higher grades before their graduation from St. Benedict's, and Bell is shown reverting to his lax behavior and lack of interest in academia. In 1976, Bell is shown barely squeaking by in his classes, gaining acceptance to Yale University only on account of being the senator's son. Hundert regrets not being able to influence Bell more.
Twenty-five years later, Hundert's life has changed. A lifelong bachelor, he is now married to the teacher with whom he had a close friendship for years after her marriage ended. After the headmaster of Saint Benedict's dies, Hundert seems poised to succeed to the position. However, the Board of Trustees promotes a younger, less experienced teacher (Rob Morrow) to the headmastership based on his abilities to raise funds for a cash-strapped school. Shocked by this turn of events, Hundert declares his retirement from teaching and seeks to follow his father's profession of writing, but little comes of it.
Meanwhile, Sedgewick Bell, now a wealthy CEO, is poised to make a gigantic contribution to St. Benedict's in the name of his now-deceased father, but only on the basis that Hundert come to a black tie party with all his 1973 students in a rematch of the Mr. Julius Caesar competition. The flashback ends and Hundert now eagerly gets ready to referee the rematch, which is preceded by a dinner showing his former students, now married and having moved on to successful careers, with an adult Deepak Mehta working as a college professor teaching Classics himself. However, his reunion with Martin Blythe seems awkward. Blythe still has some of his awkwardness as a boy, but tells Hundert he appreciates getting a glowing letter of recommendation from him when he applied to college.
The Mr. Julius Caesar competition is held in an elaborate room made up to look like a Roman villa. After Masoudi is eliminated (having forgotten most of what he learned over the years), the competition boils down to a series of questions between Bell and Mehta. In a sense of deja vu, when Hundert notices Bell stumble on a question then recover, he notices that Sedgewick is wearing a tiny earpiece with which he is in contact with a graduate student feeding answers to him. Hundert once again asks an obscure question he first asked his class back in 1973, "Who was Shutruk-Nakhunte?", mentioned on a plaque that all the other students knew about, but Bell, having been a late arrival (or never bothering to look at it), fails to answer. The reason for this was mentioned at the start of the school year by Mr. Hundert to his students (minus Bell) when he explained that any reference to Shutruk-Nakhunte cannot be found in any textbook as great ambition and conquest without contribution is without significance. Consequently, the graduate student was unable to find the answer inside the textbook he was using to feed Bell the answers. Despite encouragements and hints from his classmates, Bell is stumped once again and Mehta defends his title as Mr. Julius Caesar. Immediately after the competition, Sedgewick launches into a speech about how he plans to succeed his late father by campaigning for the U.S. Senate, and is applauded by his former schoolmates. Hundert is privately incensed that the reunion and rematch was no more than a political fundraiser and excuses himself to the restroom where he is met by Bell. Hundert confronts Bell on his cheating, but says he is not going to publicize it, as he is a teacher, not a policeman or judge. Hundert bemoans his failure to reform his former student and says sooner or later that Sedgewick will have to confront his own worst enemy: himself. An indifferent and unmoved Bell says that Hundert has let life pass him by, whereas in "his world" people behave in Machiavellian ways to get what they want, and that he will be known all over the United States because he will win the election no matter what. Unbeknownst to Bell or Hundert, one of Sedgewick's sons was also in the restroom. He looks at his father with shock, implying that one unseen punishment for Bell will be the same rocky relationship Hiram Bell had with the younger Sedgewick. Seeing Blythe having a drink at the bar, Hundert confesses that Blythe deserved to be in the Mr. Julius Caesar competition, but that he gave his spot away to Sedgewick. Blythe says that it does not matter since he has accomplished other goals in life; but his body language gives ambiguous signs that he is unappreciative of having bad memories revisited.
The day after the rematch the resort looks barren (save for Sedgewick Bell, who is filming a political commercial). Hundert is then greeted by his 1973 students who give him a "surprise breakfast" and present various mementos of their time under his tutelage. Mehta gives a gift "from one teacher to another", a plaque showing how a teacher's work lives on through generations. The men all wave goodbye to Hundert as the helicopter takes him off island back home, whereas Hundert reflects that although he failed with Sedgewick Bell, he succeeded in molding multiple other students.
Hundert thus returns to St. Benedict's and again teaches Classics to a new class (which is now coeducational and more racially diverse than his earlier classes). It is also revealed that one of his students is Blythe's son, who is proud that his father was once Hundert's student. Hundert then looks out the window to see Martin Blythe proudly waving to him, and an expression that Hundert has found peace with his past troubles and gladness that he has been truthful with Blythe. In a scene echoing an earlier scene with the young Blythe, Hundert requests the Blythe boy read the Shutruk-Nahunte plaque over the door, just as his father once did. He reads it without stuttering or hesitating implying that the older Blythe trained his son well.

Can anyone give me a basic Cliffs notes to surplus powders please:
As in what is good for what?

Here's a link to a cross-reference for surplus powders. It shows uses for surplus in some other than military calibers yet it's only a guide. Note that with some of the surplus powders in magnum rifles doesn't yield top velocities.
Bartletts site has explanations and possible uses for some surplus powders.
Surplus powder is not like commercial powder. Burn rates vary with different lots of the same powder type and loads must be worked up every time you switch lots or when testing a new surplus powder purchase.

The first chart is one I published and it's a good one to print and keep handy.
Everyone is out of powder and it's anybody's guess as to either when or if there will be more available. Good luck.
January 27, 2013, 06:23 PM
Old surplus powders are not a bargain and I recommend not buying the stuff. This is the last surplus IMR 4895 I purchased. I purchased this lot before I found out that surplus powders were removed from military inventory because their shelf life had expired.
I loaded these cases a year ago. The powder does not smell and is black. However the stabilizer must be depleted and the powder is outgassing NOx. The case neck cracks and case head separations attest to that.
These are some of the early indications of old powder, the NOx attacks the brass and causes cracks in the most highly stressed portions of the case.
These bullets came out of cases with old depleted powder. You can see the corrosion caused by NOx on the bottom of the bullets.
If you want to know more just Google the term "insensitive munitions". There is an amazing amount of information on old ordnance.
January 27, 2013, 10:39 PM
That's your experience. On the other hand, I've been using milsurp powder for almost 40 years. I still have some of the old Hodgdon 4895 powder that was sold in paper bags. I don't load that one any longer, just look at it and wish.
As long as you check the powder and don't plan on loading and storing for an additional 20 - 30 years, I've found it to be a great buy (at least it used to be) and while every lot is different, once you develop a load for a specific lot, it's just as repeatable as commercial powder.
Unfortunately, it's not much of a bargain these days. 10 years ago it was plentiful and cheap, and I bought quite a lot of it back then, and still use several of those powders. After watching prices slowly but steadily climb, I figured it wasn't going to get any cheaper and I stocked up.

Below are some of the surplus powders and the commercial powders which they mimic and the powders you can use load data from as a starting point to work up loads.
WC820 - H110 - 30 Carbine
WC844 - H335 - 223/5.56mm
WC857 - H1000 - 300 Win Mag
WC860 - Faster than AA8700 (Israeli Surplus) - 50BMG
WC867 - (very similar to WC872) - 50BMG
This is off the top of my head. I hope everything is correct but if not I'm sure I will be corrected in short order.

Not every surplus powder is bad, some of it is nearly new from lots that failed QC. However some of it is most certainly expired, which is why it got surplussed. A recent batch of Radway Green 4895 from a couple years ago was a good case in point. Why pay $100 for 8 pounds of powder with a shelf life of less than five years when I can buy canister for not much more and it will last 30 years? Back when surplus was $5 a pound it was a great deal. Now that it's more than double that, it's not such a good deal anymore.
January 28, 2013, 08:06 AM
I've also had and used surplus powder for at least 30 years, and never had a bit of it go bad. But, agree with evan price that with today's prices that are little different from new commercial, it's really no deal. Also, most of the surplus I've seen advertised is ball powder, which I don't use. The last surplus I bought 8 years ago was IMR4895 for $78 per 8# cannister.:D
January 28, 2013, 11:44 PM
I agree most surplus powders are no deal these days. Most are ~$100/8lbs although the 50 Cal powders are still a fairly good deal @$48/8lbs.
January 29, 2013, 01:00 AM
It's all about supply & demand. When we all buy it by the truckload, the price goes up.
January 29, 2013, 07:01 PM
Not every surplus powder is bad, some of it is nearly new from lots that failed QC.
Did the vendors who sold you that powder tell you why it failed QC? Is failing QC a good thing?
Sellers can tell you anything to get you to fork over your money, all it takes is that you have to believe the story.
Now wasn't there a story about Jack and the magic beans?

Many precision machined parts shops are brining parts cleaning in-house for quality and control. Our website and the February issue of PM has the cleaning industry covered.
In PM's February issue, we will include a parts cleaning section that will feature products, processes and services to help make shops better aware of the latest technologies in the parts cleaning field.
Since 2012, PM has covered the parts cleaning industry with four annual supplements to our monthly magazine. We began doing this to increase the breadth of coverage given to the precision machined parts industry.
Increasingly, parts cleaning specifications are included in the job specifications submitted by customers to their metalworking vendors. Industries such as medical, electronic and automotive demand that parts meet ever more stringent cleaning standards.
Watch for the issue when it lands in your mailbox in early February. In the meantime, visit our parts cleaning zone online and review the archives of previously published material.

El Nino 2012 (fingers crossed!)
Well I know were not even out of July yet but if you search El nino on Google News. You can find articles around the world suggesting a Moderate-Weak El Nino. Ive also read articles from carribean countrys suggesting concern that this season might be a repeat of 97. Temps in the the pacific waters are forecasted to be warmer then they have in recent years. Hope this all pans out for us out west as last season was horrible. Last time we had a good el nino in AZ we got a 10 ft+ dump over 3 days at Snowbowl and Sunrise.
1 Attachment(s)
I'm lukewarm on El Nino myself. Seems like it sucks about as much as it delivers around here. Though since it's supposed to be weak, it could be a good thing. Hopefully it doesn't skunk the Northern spots like it so often does.
All I know is that the last two years have been La Nina and they both sucked the big hairy root in B.C.
Anything else will be an improvement.
The last 2 years in the canadian rockies have been great (easter bc included). I kinda expect next year to suck a bit in alberta/eastern bc.
SSV had record snow this year.
lol well you have a better idea then most ppl in Vancouver anyway, most of them think its just to Whistler!
Just check the Noaa update and its looking like SW/Cali is going to be Epic this winter. check the link for the outlook-Climate Prediction Center - Seasonal Color Maps This just made my day right here. soo pumped. Snow wolf I hope this means you will be coming out here to AZ again. If this all pans out id think Feb-March might be a epic time to hit Backside of Snowbowl. Im leaving AZ in 2 years and I wanna ride Freemont peaks before I move. Sounds like this might be the winter to do it.
WOW those chutes would be incredible! Im for sure in if you wanna hit the BC, I can borrow some BC gear from a friend. Last year sucked major at bowl man with all the low snow. I was prolly there about 10 times last season and I can recall 2 of those times seeing snow on heart prairie. The year they start blowing snow they dont have to, Go figure.

It was a very close call for motorists after a truck lost its load on a ramp off the eastbound Metropolitain and showered engine parts down onto the westbound lanes of the Met.
The tractor trailer was carrying heavy truck parts when it tipped over on the ramp to Autoroute 15 northbound from the 40 east at 2 o'clock this morning.
The SQ says the truck parts likely shifted in the trailer, causing it to tip over, because the driver wasn't speeding.
One of those truck parts flew off the ramp and down onto the westbound lanes of the 40.
It damaged a car but no one was hurt.
The SQ says it could take until 8 AM to clear the accident.
The driver of the tractor trailer is being treated for shock.

* Series Roster Note:
The Indians have promoted Lonnie Chisenhall from Class AAA Columbus. Chisenhall will make his big league debut tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks, starting at third base and batting seventh.
To make room for Chisenhall, infielder Adam Everett was designated for assignment. Chisenhall, the Indians' first-round draft pick in 2008, was just named the International League Player of the Week. He went 9-for-21 with two homers and 14 RBI in five games since coming off the disabled list for a concussion at Columbus.
Series Summary:
They entered Sunday trailing the first-place Giants in the NL West by a half-game. Kennedy and Hudson give them a great 1-2 punch in the rotation. Chris Young is their leader in homers and RBI.
Pitching matchups:
RHP Mitch Talbot (2-4, 4.91) vs. Ian Kennedy (8-2, 2.90) Tonight at 9:40 ET
RHP Josh Tomlin (9-4, 3.95) vs. RHP Daniel Hudson (9-5, 3.58) Tuesday at 9:40 p.m. ET
RHP Carlos Carrasco (7-4, 3.62) vs. LHP Zack Duke (1-2, 5.73) Wednesday at 3:40 p.m. ET.
Diamondbacks Injury Watch:
3B Melvin Mora (back) was a late scratch from the June 26 game.
RHP Juan Gutierrez (right shoulder inflammation) went on the 15-day disabled list May 25. An MRI found rotator cuff irritation but no tears. He threw a bullpen session June 17.
RHP Sam Demel (right shoulder tendinitis) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 22. He began a rehab assignment with Class AAA Reno on June 24, and he could be activated during the week of June 27-July 3.
INF Geoff Blum (sore right knee) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 22. Blum underwent successful arthroscopic surgery April 26.
Diamondbacks News/Notes:
INF/OF Willie Bloomquist stole second base in the sixth inning Sunday, his eighth stolen base of the season but his first since April 15. Bloomquist was the first in the majors to three, four, five and six stolen bases this season but shortly after stealing No. 7 missed almost a month with a hamstring injury. He made his first start of the season at second base Sunday, previously playing shortstop and left field.
3B Ryan Roberts, who was not scheduled to start Sunday, had a three-hit game and drove in the go-ahead run for a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning in Detroit, although the Tigers recovered to win, stunning the D-Backs with seven runs in the eighth. 3B Melvin Mora was in the original starting lineup but was a late scratch because of a bad back. Mora, a free agent signed to play third this season, has started only three of the last 16 games while Roberts has played his way into a regular role there with careers-high in homers (10), stolen bases (nine) and RBI (33).
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson and bench coach Alan Trammell stood side-by-side in the D-backs' dugout and applauded as the No. 11 of former Detroit and Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson was unveiled on the left-center field fence in Comerica Park in a ceremony before Sunday's game. Gibson was the MVP of the Tigers' 1984 ALCS victory over Kansas City, and Trammell was the MVP of the 1984 World Series victory over San Diego.
RHP Josh Collmenter was honored when his hometown of Homer, Mich., held Josh Collmenter Day on Friday, the day before his first major league start in his home state against Detroit. Several hundred fans from Homer attended the game, a 6-0 Tigers' victory. Family and friends wore orange T-shirts with a D-backs logo and lined the area around the bullpen as Collmenter warmed up, and he received a loud ovation when he was announced in the starting lineup.
RHP J.J. Putz was unavailable Sunday after pitching three times in four days, recording three straight saves last Wednesday-Friday, and the D-backs were unable to hold a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning. RHP Aaron Heilman, who normally pitches earlier in the game, gave up two base runners in the Tigers' seven-run eighth inning, and setup man RHP David Hernandez gave up a walk and three singles to the four batters he faced as the Tigers took an 8-2 lead.
The Tribe recalled 3B Lonnie Chisenhall to play third base.
Can he help the offense?

You may be feeling secure in yourself and your abilities which could leave you feeling centered today. This sense of self-confidence might be because you know that there are times when you are able to step back from a situation and see things in a levelheaded way. Maybe since you are feeling such a great amount of trust in yourself today you might wish to consider tackling a project that up until now had seemed daunting. Undertaking something that may be overwhelming when you are feeling confident could make the task seem much more straightforward and uncomplicated. Should you at any time feel thrown off balance, you might try to bring your attention to the connection your feet have with the earth, reminding yourself that the earth's energy is extremely grounding and can give you the additional support that you need.
The times when we have a strong feeling about ourselves and what we can accomplish is the best time to work on difficult tasks. Not only do we have more energy when we have the sense that everything is going well in our world, but we also are much more able to look at our work more objectively, being able to see what we are doing well and what may need improvement. The trust in ourselves will then in turn become a catalyst for exploring and seeking greater growth and understanding. Being secure in yourself today will give you the confidence you need to help you face greater challenges today.
