Bristol fans are greeted by its familiar tower and this sign behind it as they make their way into the track from the parking lots.
The Ford NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals presented by Tri-Cities Area Ford Dealers kicked off with action in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series categories. Sportsman racers made time runs prior to the start of NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series qualifying.
Welcome back, Shane Tucker! The Australian driver has re-joined the NHRA tour after a brief hiatus, and he has a new engine-leasing deal in place for the remainder of the year. After two passes on Friday, his team is still working out the bugs.
Vincent Nobile arrived in town at 2:30 a.m. on Friday due to airline problems getting out of New York on Thursday. With a 6.673-second run in the day's first session, his purple Camaro was off to a good start in Bristol.
Robert Hight ran an off-the-trailer 4.074 in the first session. He didn't get a run in Funny Car Q2 due to rain, but his earlier pass held up for the fourth spot in the provisional field.
Tommy Johnson Jr. said his team didn't take Tuesday off, like the rest of the DSR teams. The extra work they put in a few days ago paid off in the form of a fine 4.074 in the first session.
Billy Torrence is making his first Top Fuel appearance of 2014, but it didn't get off to the start he had hoped. He smoked the tires early in his run and slowed to a 4.77 that placed him 14th. Torrence's son, Steve, also had a challenging opening to his event-title defense. A miscue on the car forced Steve to pull out of line before making a run.
Brittany Force's team tuned her to a 3.82 that has last year's Auto Club Road to the Future Award winner leading the Top Fuel field after the first day.
In the lane next to low qualifier Force, Tony Schumacher's scoreboards read 3.676, but it was later determined debris in the starting-line beams caused the clocks to trigger late and give inaccurate times at all increments, and Schumacher's time was disallowed.
J.R. Todd enters Saturday ranked second in the Top Fuel order after he drove Connie Kalitta's Optima Batteries entry to a 3.83 in the only qualifying round.
The nitro Harleys are making their second (and final) appearance of 2014 this weekend. The fan favorites got one qualifying pass today, between NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series qualifying sessions. One of the riders who went on a wild ride in the session was Rickey House, who had early troubles and slowed to an 11.35. Damian Cownden is the low qualifier at 6.28.
According to Shane Gray, his team has made "a gazillion test runs" this year. Perhaps it's starting to pay off, as his Chevy Camaro ended up with the two quickest runs on Friday, 6.664 and 6.669 seconds.
Defending world champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. is starting to heat up. His 6.662 lap in the second session was an in improvement over his earlier time and held up as the third-best pass in Q2.
Tim Wilkerson opened quite a few eyes before the evening session was cut short. His Ford Mustang tripped the top-end timers at 4.013 and 317 mph, which stood as the second-best run on Friday.
Del Worsham was the low qualifier at this race last year, and he's halfway to locking it down again. With a track record 3.992 pass on Friday evening, the DHL Toyota driver ended day one in Bristol on a high note.
Midway through the second Funny Car qualifying round, lightning then rain hit the area, forcing officials to end the day a little earlier than expected.

anatobloc: anti-inflammatory -- any word? any good?
Hi all. A friend of mine takes this product for an inflammatory bowel problem (he is not hiv+) and he says it works wonderfully.Since hiv involves a steady state of inflammation (due to the body's constant fight against the virus), and that inflammation is a cause of wear and tear on hiv+ people (like myself), I am wondering if I should take this. (I am six years poz but not on any meds, numbers quite good, but not elite.)Thanks.

Craig Pinhey, a Maritime writer on beer and other beverages, laments the restrictions on the interprovincial beer trade in Canada.
At one point beer could only be sold in provinces where it was brewed. Although not true anymore, we've not come very far. In New Brunswick, the rules give huge advantages to Atlantic breweries, thanks to pricing agreements. Out-of-province brews are tagged with a premium, so they sacrifice profit to hit the same shelf price. The exception is that local guys, including Moosehead and Labatt Halifax, sell to the liquor boards in each other's province at the preferred price.Craig continues with a litany of trade restrictions that are in place in this country, and calls for a common, national approach to beer, wine and spirits laws. Sounds good to me. Would American readers care to comment on inter-state trade ~ is it pretty much unrestricted? Are there any similar pricing differences/increases for out-of-state beer? Do any other countries have internal beer trade barriers?

Daily Dose of "D" # 7
Iggy Pop bobblehead somehow even scarier looking than Iggy Pop
Think I'll skip this particular bobble head. Funny how this Iggy bobble head looks almost real yet baseball bobble heads look nothing like the actual player?
If you stare long enough in the center of this picture – it vanishes..
WOW-This amazing toothpick sculpture took over 35 years to build and was made from over 100,000 toothpicks.

Woo Hoo…Rockies Take Two from the Blue
Dodgers vs Rockies Game 2
If it's Tuesday and the Rockies are in town you know where I'm gonna be at 4:30 pm.
My happy ass will be standing in line at Coors Field, chatt'n with the Rantics and enjoying all the tiny details that make up the baseball experience.
Check this out…Rumor has it that the Dodgers had to stock up on the Booty Balm this morning.
This was due to chapped cheeks from gett'n their asses severely spanked the night before 10-0.
I had the day off so I headed to Coors from home today instead of from work after finishing a ten-hour day. You could say I was feeling fresh.
So fresh I actually stood on the wall today and tried to snag a few autographs.
Here's my thing…I suck at getting autographs, but I love collecting and displaying them and that equates to a dilemma. I usually try to get what I need autographed at spring training because down there I feel like I'm not bothering the players as much.
However sometimes you just need to get one particular item signed and today it was Charlie Blackmon's spring training cap I've been hanging onto all season.
Lucky for me I'm friends with Amy the Blake Street Babe.
She assured me she could get Charlie to come over to the wall and sign my/his spring training hat. While Charlie was warming up Amy called out his name, he looked over and Amy pointed to the hat and said, "Chuck Nasty…This is your spring training hat." Charlie nodded and after he finished warming up he came over to the wall and signed my hat. Simple as that.
Thank you Charlie and Amy…Too Cool!
Not only did I get Charlie to sign, I got JP and Tyler Colvin on cards and Josh Rutledge's autograph on my ticket. Props go out to Amy and Mike who hooked me up with the baseball cards I got signed.
Not too shabby.
Pre-Game Walk of Shame..Nice try but Brian Fuente's stare looked meaner.
Just a bunch of youngins.
I had my camera on my lap until Kemp decided to test the outfield wall.

For the second day in a row the Rockies put a good spank'n down on the Dodgers. Props to Baby Bull for going 3 for 4 with 3 RBI's and a sweet left field homer.
Final Score 8-4…Yeah!!…Discount shitty tacos.
I'm "D" the Ranter…Can you say SWEEP?
At Any Age…KISS is the Rage
I've never seen KISS live before and that's a shame because KISS is all about the live show.
I've often been asked "D..What's the first concert you ever attended?"
Each time I answer that embarrassing question I bow my head and force out the word "Loverboy".
Yes Loverboy…
All I can tell you is I grew in the Great White North and they were extremely popular up there.
I was bound and determined that my kids wouldn't suffer the same fate as me. I wanted them to be able to answer the question.."What was your first concert?", with pride and not have to hang their head in bad decision disgust like their pops.
I picked up a 4 pack of tickets for Kiss/Motley Crue a few months back with the idea of taking the wife and kids, however Hunter is spending the summer in Canada so his extra ticket was given to Mike the Rox Addict.
As soon as Mylee found out she was seeing KISS she decided she had to put makeup on.
Here's Peter Chriss of KISS
Here's Mylee and Krista.
We arrived early and found ourselves walking past a huge caravan of tour busses. I mentioned to Mylee that these particular busses belonged to KISS. As we were approaching the end of the last KISS tour bus we heard a hard knock on the bus window. We all immediately stopped dead in our tracks.
The bus window slid open and for a second I swore I was staring at Gene Simmons.
The guy inside pointed at Mylee and said "Man that's cool". I told him it was her first concert. He said "Hold on" and disappeared for a few seconds. He came back, stuck his hand out the window and handed me four guitar pics and told us to "Enjoy the show". I had no idea who the guy was until later on.
I found out it was Nick Simmons, Gene Simmons son.
I looked at my daughter and said, "That's why you dress up". I was extremely proud and happy for her at the same time.
The surprise "I didn't know there was a third band" tonight was a band called "The Treatment".
Here's a link to their website.
They rocked it to an unenthusiastic crowd, but seemed a little better when I found out I have underwear older than a lot of these kids rock'n the stage.
I love Motley Crue.
Tonight was not their finest performance. The band seemed tight but Vince Neil was terrible. He wasn't synced with the rest of the fellas and his chubby ass was huff'n and puff'n skipp'n lyrics all over the stage.
Random crowd shot.
The highlight of the show was the Tommy Lee's 360 degree rotating drum set with room for a lucky passenger.
After a brief stage swap it was time for KISS. Here they are being lowered onto the stage to begin the show bust'n out Detroit Rock City.
I looked back at Mylee and she was wide-eyed and having a great time.
Here's Kiss performing "Love Gun
Mike and I enjoying the show.
The KISS Setlist:
Detroit Rock City
Shout It Out Loud
I Love It Loud
Love Gun
War machine
Shock Me
Hell or Hallelujah
God of Thunder
Lick It Up
Black Diamond
Rock'N Roll All Nite
In the end I want to thank Nick Simmons for being classy and KISS for putting on a stellar show and show'n my little girl what good old fashioned rock'n roll is all about.
I'm "D" the Ranter…I can't tell you how fun it was to share my first time KISS experience with my wife and youngest daughter. Mike thanks for hang'n too brotha. Andy from Spring training, good to see you as well.
What a great Birthday present :)…Rock On!…"D"
Being Last is No Blast
Giants vs Rockies Game 1
Ahh, baseball at Coors Field.
There used to be time when I looked forward to a good baseball game. Now I just hope for a killer sunset so I'll have some cool pictures to share the next morning.
Rockies batting practice was weird. The players in the outfield were quiet, and seemed unenthusiastic. Their demeanor reflected more of what you would expect had the Rockies lost the previous night.
The Duece was on the field out taking BP and decorated the pavilion with about a half a dozen baseballs.
Speaking of the ole' 1 + 1…If you enjoy a good laugh at the Duece's expense…You'll dig this.
Need more…Click here:
I managed to snag a pretty cool ground rule double during BP. The Giants #99 bobbled a catch close to the outfield wall, The ball tipped off his glove, bounced and I quickly scooped it up. I then found a young Rockies fan and shared the wealth cause that's how Rantics roll.
I looked at the Giants Roster but couldn't figure out who # 99 is?
The Rockies suck with or without uncharismatic "Duece". I must admit, it's kinda nice not hearing that annoying Tulo chant 4 or 5 times a game. Plus now we don't have to watch the Duece blow another clutch opportunity, at least for the rest of this season.
Pitching…Can't even go there…Just f'kn abysmal.
Dex is the man!!
Below is one of the many reasons I habitate in Colorado.
Mike the Rox Addict and Scott…Cool hang'n with ya tonight.
Rockies lose to the Giants 16-4. That's six of the last seven games lost.
I'm "D" the Ranter…
I love me some baseball, but lately three words keep ringing in my head.
Peyton F'kn Manning :)…Go Broncos!
Phillies Pay on Daddy/Daughter Day
July 13, 2012
Phillies vs Rockies Game 1
Game On…Hope you had a nice break.
I've have a lot of friends who are Phillies fans. There's Phillie Jim, my buddy Rick, and an old buddy Kevin who back in the day made the ultimate sacrifice and said FU to a job that wouldn't let him attend a Phillies/Rockies game in 2007. All these dudes are hardcore Phillies fans and with the Rant being a fan blog I respect that.
With that said, unfortunately once a year our Coors Field turns partially red and is bustling with over-anxious Phillie fans full of east coast pride, who are trying to make up for the 80 other home games they'll miss.
No Worries..It was Daddy/Daughter day for me.
Mylee's great because she has her mom's fantastic sense of humor and her dad's ability to point out people who need pointing out. Batting practice was a bust today. The Rockies were out on the field but decided a half hour was too much time to hang with the fans so they bailed early.
(Year of the Fan, the rally towel they gave away today said so).
I found out from Hawaii Bob that the Phillies had taken BP around 3pm and were finishing up inside. I can't tell you how much that pleased the mass of Phillies fans who took the time to show up early to see their team warm-up. I was a little bummed as well because Ryan Howard was back in the lineup and I had my sights on a Howard BP homer.
BP was so boring I was wishing I had brought my full size Tulo banner so we could have played a round of "Pin the Injury" on the Duece. Yep Rockies poster boy Tulo is taking a well deserved bumpy ride on the old Karma Wagon of life.
I hope Tulo figures out that when you "RESPECT" your fans and their time, the shocks on the Karma Wagon kick in and the ride suddenly smooths out.
But what do i know🙂
The highlight of BP was seeing Amy the Blake Street Babe straight-up catch her second BP homer of the season. She did it sandwiched between two seasoned ballhawks who were waiting for her to blow it so they could swarm in and snap up her leftovers…Nice Job Amy!
One of Many… Ranter's "Year of the Fan" Ideas
Players/fans playing catch…Randomly pick a few fans to go out onto the field during BP and play catch. The players have to warm up and does it really make a difference who tosses him the ball? Any baseball fan would remember walking on Coors Field and throwing a catch with a MLB player his/her entire life.
Check this out Rockies Promotional Folks…Throwing a catch costs you nothing…As I said the players are warming-up anyway and you pay them right? Make this an every home-game thing and get folks excited about showing up early for BP.
FYI Rockies..I'm available for consulting and I'm full of GOOD ideas.
Game Pictures
He's back!
Cargo sport'n Tulo's #2 wristband? Upside down it sort of looks like a 5.
Strike three Cliff Lee.
Friedrich did a great job pitching 6 solid innings. Christian had 7 strikeouts officially punking Cliff Lee…today.
Is Ryan gett'n bigger?
Colvin is a beast.
Straight from Tulsa…Josh Rutledge miliseconds before his first MLB hit.
They called Josh up from the AA Tulsa Drillers because Todd Helton went on the DL list Friday with right hip soreness.(Gett'n old sucks).
Heal up quick TH!
Josh's first hit.
Josh's first safe slide into second.
I already like Josh, in an imperfect world, that's the perfect way to start a MLB career. Josh went 2 for 2 with 2 RBI and a stolen base.
I'm gonna say it now…Get what you can for the Duece while you can. Tulo will eventually self-destruct as he is his own worst enemy…Mentally and Physically.
In a quick 2:37 minutes the Rockies send the fans home happy with a 6-2 win over the Phillies in front of 33,346.

80's Flashback…Mr T…Did you know?
He gave up virtually all his gold, one of his identifying marks, after helping with the cleanup after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He said, "As a Christian, when I saw other people lose their lives and lose their land and property…I felt that it would be a sin before God for me to continue wearing my gold.
I felt it would be insensitive and disrespectful to the people who lost everything, so I stopped wearing my gold.

"Don't worry. He's going to live a good life."
We found ourselves at one of those moments when the choices and the possibilities, the regrets and the hopes seemed about to overwhelm us. What more could we do for our son with autism? What should we do differently? What might the future hold?
Then to alleviate my wife's concern I inserted this statement into the conversation: "Don't worry. He's going to live a good life."
Days later, I couldn't shake the statement from my consciousness. It troubled me. What did I mean by "a good life?"
I knew what I meant. A normal life. A neuro-typical life. I meant that one day Jude will carry on conversations, one day he'll graduate college and have a calling, one day he'll marry and have children. That's what I meant when I said "a good life." But is that how we should measure the quality of a life? Is a life "good" due to its proximity to a neuro-typical life?
My definition of a good life arose from a lie, and this lie blinded me to reality. I was seeing life through the same Satanic lens as the Christian parents who warn their daughter not to throw away her talents by becoming a missionary, or the trained professional who looks down his nose at the immigrant hired to clean his offices. I needed to align myself with the truth, the world as God sees it.
In Colossians 2, Paul warns the church at Colossae not to measure the value of their life on the basis of human standards. False teachers had declared that a good life was characterized by meeting legalistic human standards. Wishing to liberate the Colossians from this lie, Paul writes, "For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory" (Col 3:3-4 ESV).
To God, the good life is a life that has been killed with Christ on the cross, raised to everlasting life from the tomb, and hidden with Christ at the right hand of God. The beauty of such a life may not always be evident in this age. Such a life may not meet the external standards placed on it by human judges. But when Christ appears, the glory of that life will appear with Christ.
An unmarried life or uneducated life can be such a life. Even a nonverbal life can be a good life by the grace of God.

Proposition: An even number times an even number is an even number.
Direct Proof: Assume we have 2 even integers a,b. Since any even number can be written in the form 2p where p is an integer.
Let a = 2k, b = 2m for some integers k and m.
a*b = 4km = 2*(2km). Since 2km is a natural number. a*b is even
Indirect Proof: I will prove the contrapositive (indirect). (if A implies B) then its contraposition is not B imples not A. Both of these (A imples B) and (not B implies not A) are logically equivalent, so proving one is the same as proving the other.
So Assume a*b is odd for some integers a,b. Then atleast one, either a or b, must be odd. For if neither are odd then a = 2k, b=2m for integers k,m
and a*b = 2*(2km) which is not odd. Thus either a or b is odd.
Existence proof to show that for every non zero integer a, i could find another integer b (or there exists an integer b), such that a*b is an even number
Now since a is an integer, it is either even or odd. If it is even then a = 2k for some integer k, then take b = 2m for any integer m. a*b = 2*(2km) is even.
Now if a is odd, then a = 2k + 1 for some integer k. Take b = 2m, then a*b = 4km + 2m = 2*(2km+m). Since 2km+m is an integer. 2*(2km+m) is even.
Thus every non zero integer has an integer b such that a*b is an even number.

HVAC & Industrial Vibration Control ApplicationsVibration control in Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing applications is very critical as vibration can result in high disturbance in several receivers' points and even lead to vibrating machine failure. Vibration control products Vibro offer a complete range of Vibration Control Hangers, Vibration Control Pads, Spring Antivibration Mounts.
Architectural & Building ApplicationsAcoustically sensitive architectural spaces like restaurants, bars, discos, auditoriums, cinemas etc require advanced vibration isolation in order to avoid structure borne vibration transmission through the structural elements. Vibration can be transmitted through floors, walls and ceilings. VIBRO products can cover a wide range of architectural and building vibration isolation from a domestic application to an advanced floating concrete floor.
Studio applicationsIn rehearsal and recording studios it is often required to construct a"box in a box" or "room in a room" construction. That is required in order to isolate the vibration which can be amplified by the structural elements and be transferred in several acoustically sensitive points within or outside the studio. That includes floating ceilings, floating floors and floating walls.

'Hobbit' Avoids Comic-Con, Releases New Video Instead
Good news and bad news, "Hobbit" fans: if you were hoping that going to Comic-Con in San Diego this weekend would bring you one step closer to Middle-Earth, you're in for a disappointment.
Peter Jackson announced on Facebook this week that, sadly, "The Hobbit" won't have a presence at this year's convention because "there's so much more of the films to shoot." That said, he expects the two-part "Lord of the Rings" prequel "will be there in full force next year."
Now for the good news — in lieu of an official Comic-Con presence, Jackson has posted yet another of his highly entertaining video production diaries from the set of "The Hobbit," this time offering an extraordinary amount of insight into the dwarf creation process as well as revealing a surprising amount of the film's greatest reveals.
The new video, the third in Jackson's series, spends the vast majority of its 13 minute runtime cataloguing the equally numbered dwarves that embark on a mission with Gandalf the Grey and the hobbit Bilbo Baggins to reclaim their lost kingdom of Erebor. We're treated to an extensive look at their makeup process, their secret language, their battle cries in Trollshaw and even a classic Tolkien song or two (look out for Stephen Hunter's in-character heavy metal rendition of "Merry Inn" — it's hard to miss).
Perhaps the most memorable moment of the video comes when John Rhys-Davies, who famously played Gimli the dwarf in "Lord of the Rings," visits the set and his Dwarven ancestors.
"You poor buggers," he laughs at the thirteen actors, all of them dressed head to toe in full dwarf gear. "When he gets you running up a hill in full armor, you'll enjoy that!" But not one to walk away without leaving a silver lining, Rhys-Davies adds: "But you're going to be spectacular. You'll be chased by women all around the world!"
"But only if you're in costume and makeup," Jackson chimes in in a winking attempt to regain authority on the set.
Though the dwarves are the highlight of the video, there's much more to see, including the return of Cate Blanchett to the role of Galadriel as well as another actor who was previously rumored to reprise his role, but is only now completely confirmed. No spoilers from me, would-be ringbearers — you'll have to see the video for yourself.

1. 10 technologies that changed business forever
Remember when you first saw the iPhone? Glimmering like a rare jewel at the Apple store, the debut model was originally dismissed as a bit player in the enterprise, especially compared to the (ahem) BlackBerry. Now, just about every high-ranking corporate official, not to mention pre-teen, has one in his or her pocket.
What other technology, gadgets and enterprise services have changed business in such a dramatic way? For most IT leaders, there's a good chance a CRM tool or even a seemingly minor Web technology such as OAuth made more waves over the long term. These innovations caused a sea change of their own. In fact, we're trying to figure out how anyone ran a company without them.

Critical Mass cyclists settle suit with NYPD
The 83 plaintiffs were among hundreds cited in the rides between 2004 and 2006
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Bicyclists who were arrested or ticketed in Critical Mass rides in New York say they have settled with the city for nearly $1 million.
The 83 plaintiffs were among hundreds cited in the rides between 2004 and 2006. The rides are held regularly in cities worldwide to bring attention to the needs of urban bicyclists.
The civil rights lawsuit against the New York Police Department was filed in 2007. Lawyers for both sides learned of the settlement Monday.
The city's law department says the settlement is in the best interest of all parties.
The settlement doesn't include lawsuits filed by riders arrested during the 2004 Republican National Convention.
Plaintiffs spokeswoman Barbara Ross calls the settlement a victory for all cyclists.

By Asghar Ali Engineer,
Terrorism has become a worldwide disease which is swallowing the lives of thousands of innocent people in certain intensive conflict areas like Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir, North East India, certain other parts of India, South Thailand and so on. There are different reasons for terrorist violence in different conflict areas which vary from political to socio-economic injustices.
However, it must be clearly understood that terrorism does not suddenly drop out of heaven; it originates here on earth in response to acts of omission or commission by the ruling classes. But soon it acquires dynamics of its own and ceases to be mere response. It becomes phenomenon in itself and various vested interests, political, economic and those relating to armament market beginning to support it directly or indirectly. No terrorist movement can survive long without such support and merely as a response.
[Photo by gors1_01]
I would also like to say here that the very terminology 'Islamic terrorism' is a media creation and it reflects, besides prejudices and ignorance, hostile attitude towards anything Islamic or to do with the Muslim world. No religion can ever encourage mindless violence as terrorists resort to. Religion in its essence is nothing more than moral and ethical way of life upholding the highest values of life. Everything else is culture, politics or other interests. Any conduct or behaviour which does not reflect this moral and ethical core is anything but religious.
Here in this article we are concerned with the terrorist violence which was unleashed by Al-Qaeda led by Usama bin Laden with his attack on New York Business Towers in 2001. We are not going to analyze here why he did it. We have thrown enough light on this in several other articles. We are concerned here with what legitimation he found to justify this attack.
All analysts and scholars agree that Usama and his followers used Ibn Taymiyya's famous fatwa on use of violence against unjust rulers. Ibn Taymiyyah was borne few years after the Mongol sack of Baghdad and unimaginable savagery committed by them killing hundreds of thousands of people in most barbarous ways. Taymiyyah, himself a great jurist, was follower of Imam Hanbal. Imam Hanbal prohibits rebellion against unjust authority as it would result in anarchy and more bloodshed.
However, Ibn Taymiyyah, as against teachings of his own school issued a fatwa justifying violence against unjust and authoritarian rulers so as to re-establish the Islamic rule and rule of Shari'ah. This fatwa is being used by the terrorists to justify their attacks as 'Islamic' and many young Muslims who do not even know who Ibn Taymiyyah was and in what circumstances hr issued this fatwa, get misled and find 'Islamic legitimation" in his fatwa.
Initially the Ulama, though did not necessarily approve of use of this fatwa, kept mum or just whispered heir opposition not to be loud enough to be heard. But when violence intensified and became uncontrollable, their conscience revolted and many of them decided to call al-Qaeda's bluff by opposing the fatwa. Now many of them are coming forward condemning use and misuse of Ibn Taymiyya.
Ibn Taymiyya, undoubtedly a great scholar and eminent jurist, had issued a set of four fatwas known as Mardin fatwas. Mardin was a Turkish fortress in South East Turkey with mixed population. And Osama had quoted this Mardin fatwa repeatedly in his calls for Muslims to overthrow the Saudi monarchy and wage jihad against the United States. Some prominent Ulama from the Islam world decided to meet in Mardin to discuss Ibn Taymiyya's fatwa towards the end of March 2010
This historic document was referred to by these Islamic scholars and took decisive stand against it. They said, "Anyone who seeks support from this fatwa for killing Muslims or non-Muslims has erred in his interpretation." They further said, "It is not for a Muslim individual or a group to announce and declare war or engage in combative jihad…on their own."
Those who use Ibn Taymiyya's fatwa totally ignore the circumstances in which the fatwa was issued. Nothing can be valid unless seen in historically concrete circumstances. Ibn Taymiyyah himself, as pointed out above, had gone against his own Hanbali School in issuing the fatwa. Even then all Islamic scholars had not unanimously endorsed it. Moreover, as pointed out by an Islamic scholar from Belgium Prof. Yahya Michot, Mardin fatwa has some ambiguity which has been ignored both by terrorists as well as many western scholars and commentators.
It is important to note that the Mardin conference gathered 15 leading scholars from countries including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, India, Senegal, Kuwait, Iran, Morocco and Indonesia. Among them were Bosnian Grand Mufti Mustafa Ceric, Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah of Mauritania and Yemeni Sheikh Habib Ali al-Jifri.
It would be seen that while Ibn Taymiyyah was alone in issuing the fatwa here a galaxy of prominent Ulama and Muftis from across the Islamic world from Indonesia in South East to Algeria in the West Africa gathered and rejected the fatwa. It is representative statement of the Islamic world rejecting terrorism. Not that those terrorists are going to stop violence and come on table for negotiations for peace.
There are too powerful interests to care for any such rejection from across the Islamic world but it certainly sets norms and indicates what the Islamic world stands for. For sure even then anti-Islamic tirade is not going to stop and many western commentators and anti-Islamic forces will continue to hold Usama bin laden as real representative rather than this galaxy of Ulama from across the Islamic world.
It is not only these Ulama who met at Mardin who have condemned terrorism but several other conferences and congregations have been taking place in several Islamic countries condemning terrorist violence. Several books are also being written and discussed. One of the remarkable works in this respect is that of Maulana Tahirul Qadri of Pakistan who has compiled a six hundred page volume quoting authorities from beginning of Islam through medieval ages to the present day opposing terrorism and senseless killing of innocent people and non-combatants which is strictly prohibited in Islam.
Another seminar took place at Oxford when some Islamic scholars met to discuss a book written by Prof. Yahya Michot, an Islamic scholar from Belgium who teaches Islamic history and culture in Belgium University. This book, Muslims Under non-Muslim Rule, has been written on four fatwas issued by Ibn Taymiyyah known as Mardin fatwas. The book, besides discussing life and work of Ibn Taymiyyah, analyses the four fatwas issued by Ibn Taymiyyah.
Yahya Michot maintains that Taymiyyah issued these fatwas in certain historical context and hence it is imperative to study and explore his writings in the existential circumstances in which they were produced otherwise one is not only likely to misunderstand but also misinterpret them. His Mardin fatwa is a good example. Mardin "occupies a strikingly strategic location. It is dominated by a fortress reputed to be unassailable, from which the view reaches deep into the vast plain of upper Mesopotamia."
Though the precise date of the fatwa is not known, Ibn Taymiyyah issued it in response to a request to clarify whether Mardin was a domain of peace (dar al-salam) or domain of war (dar al-harb). According to Prof. Yahya there is sort of ambiguity in this fatwa and there is no clear answer coming from the fatwa.
In his own words, "Is (Mardin) a domain of war or of peace? It is a (city of a status) composite (murakkab) in which both the things signified (by those terms are to be found). It is not in the situation of a domain of peace in which the institutions (ahkam) of Islam are implemented because its army (jund) is (composed of Muslims. Nor is it in the situation of domain of war, whose inhabitants are unbelievers. Rather, it constitutes a third type of (domain), in which the Muslim shall be treated as he merits, and in which the one who departs from the Way/law of Islam shall be combated as he merits.".
Thus it is important to note that Ibn Taymiyyah refused to say whether Mardin was a domain of war or peace and it is most significant aspect of the Mardin fatwa which has been ignored by Usama as well as western scholars who demonize Ibn Taymiyyah. Today's world is almost entirely composite in nature. There are either significant Muslim majorities or minorities.
The Ulama opposing terrorism are repeatedly emphasizing this fact of religious plurality of world today and no medieval opinions expressed by jurists can be valid. Any fatwa, like the Mardin one, can be issued without taking concrete conditions into account and there is unanimity among Islamic scholars that if Muslims are allowed to leave in peace and have guaranteed religious freedom such a region cannot be but dar al-saqlam i.e. abode of peace, in Taymiyya's own words. No violence can be justified in such region. Thus terrorism has no place for modern world.
Selective denentia of Muslim theologians!
While umpty positive actions prescribed by Islam go uncared for,the half-baked Mullahs are misleading the youth about jihad!
Osama bin Ladin's obsession with American imperialism has made him the great hero of jihad,armed with an out of date Fatwa of Ibn Tymmyyah!
Asghar ali Engineer has once again pin-pointed the hollowness of jihad in modern world.
In another article :"Islam" - a "State or civilization", he has established that we,Muslims, the "best community
that has been raised up for mankind", have signally failed to do good and exhort others to do good and not only avoid evil for ourselves but also prevent others from evil to establish peace on the planet of earth!(3:110).
It is my sincere plea to the writer of the Article that please open up your eyes regarding the 9/11 Attacks. They had no connection whatsoever with Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. And this is no 'Conspiracy Theory' I'm advocating here. This is a fact. If he has any doubt whatsoever, please refer to 'The Loose Change' by Dylan Avery and the scientific enquiry about the Collapse of the Twin Towers and the WTC 7 by Professor Steven E Jones.
Let me tell you a very popular conspiracy theory. And it states that a handful of men living in the caves of Afghanistan were able to Sabotage the Air Defense system of the SUPERPOWER of the world for almost 2 hours and left no traces of plane crashes at the PENTAGON and the WHITE HOUSE.
The American Govt needed a Casus Belli and they carefully engineered these attacks.
And I know that my voice is least likely to be heard, but still out of great hope I am making this comment so that you as a REPOTER realize the IMPACT you have on the masses and by such massive misleading generalization of such pivotal instances of history you are serving as an ACCOMPLICE to such a crime.
Waiting to hear from you soon.
Brother SM Pasha cannot be more right
Brother SM Pasha,
One cannot be more right than what you said. In fact I have written to Mr Engineer about things which actually forms a majority view but in the zeal of getting brownie points from the 'others' people like Mr Engineer ignore what common man thinks and feel. It would be foolhardy to conclude that majority is always right. If we are not potent enough to stop injustice, we need to think about injustice. This is the least of Emaan!!
AS FAR AS Mr. ENGINEER IS CONCERNED, HE HAS NOT EVEN ONCE ADMITTED HIS MISTAKE IF AND WHEN HE IT IS POINTED OUT TO HIM AND AS FAR AS HIS 'islamic scholrship" IS CONCERNED, ASK ABOUT IT TO THE FOLLOWERS OF SAYEEDINA BURHANUDDIN, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE IS. MY IMPRESSION ABOUT HIM IS THAT HE IS ONE OF THOSE WHO RUN WITH THE HARES AND HUNT WITH THE HOUNDS. MAY ALLAH SAVE THE UMMAH FROM SUCH SO-CALLED ISLAMIC SCHOLARS
Two things to be answered by Mr Engineer & one by Nyamatullah
1. There is no conclusive proof that Al Qaidah did demolish the twin towers. This has nothing with defending the organisation but will you people write on similar numerous organisations on the other side of the fence. Mere assumption of the involvment of Al Qaidah, if negated will collapse Mr Engineer's contention.
2. The use of words like terrorists and West in one breath proves that Mr Engineer too is guilty of associating terror with Islam. Why accept the act of Usamah bin ladin being Islamic and right a wrong article.
Where is the fullt baked Mullahs (mulla) you are talking about. How you expect the world to behave when you are not calling names to the wrongdoers? The style of excluding oneself from the group and then just being critical is a pass. Hosh ke nakhoon len. Did not the people who loved peace at the advent of last Prophet take up arms when the treaties were violated. If people like you are allowed to speak, you'd even call the Prophet a terrorist. Why you think people like you are not followed? The folly is with your type of people. You do not posses any qualities of being leader and expect people to follow you. The fatwa of ibne Taimiyyah has been boiled down to one thing by Mr Engineer, which is if we do not follow the deeds of our ancestors, we are wrong. This is what the Hindus did and lost the message of their book. Now, they coolly follow the dictats of the ruling class and are at it for past thousands of years.
To say the least, your last two sentences show where you stand. If you faulter people who do no killing or demolition but complain of injustice which majority of Muslims do, you call out their 'failure'. Where do you stand in this scheme of things is not answered by you. Those who do not allow simple complains are impotent, why not to show similar impotence when you call names to Muslims? What is your contribution by the way?
President Obama during the start of his talk at Al-Azhar, says that some people doubt the veracity of the official version of 9/11. Then he conveniently sidesteps this issue and talks on everything else.
When will people open their eyes?

I think these few r more worthy to know the fact that 9/11 wasnt done by muslims after hearing Ibn Taymiyyah's "wrong" fatwa!!!! That is a part of their "hate policy", initiation of the "clash of civilization" and the "modern crusade" as told by Bush, etc.. People like us r still believing in the theories made by them by blaming some muslims/clerics/fatwas, etc. Be aware!!
Fatwa on Terrorism
It is strange to see people still doubting if Al Qaeda is responsible for 9/11 in spite of the fact that Osama bin Laden himself has boasted on videotape as well as audiotape that he had planned it.
While Muslims are required to fight for justice, killing hundreds of innocent civilians including women and children is hardly just. If Muslims want to fight against injustice, there is more than enough injustice in Muslim societies that they can fight. As Maulana Mazhari points out in an article on this subject, Muslims can take on an enemy even if they are outnumbered 2 to 1. But Al Qaeda in relation to the U.S. military is outnumbered 100,000 to 1. In terms of equipment, they are at a disadvantage of 500,000 to 1. With their attack on the World Trade Center, they killed 3000 Americans, but in turn this has brought about the deaths of 100,000 innocent Iraqis and 100,000 innocent Afghans. Since 9/11 Muslims in America and Europe are shunned and have difficulty finding jobs and housing.
I very much doubt that even Ibn Taymiyyah's fatwa called for such a course of action. The 15 Islamic scholars from around the world who met in Mardin, Turkey, last month have issued a strong fatwa against terrorism. They have rightly said, "It is not for a Muslim individual or a group to announce and declare war or engage in combative jihad ....on their own."
fact of fiction
Come on Ghulam sahab,
in this age of media manipulation and digital techniques, you are relying on a video to prove who did 9/11.
Tomorrow x/y/z can come out with a video saying he was Jesus Christ, or that a/b/c killed Mahatma Gandhi..
The incredulous question is if all these videos are true, why cant the US with its advanced surveillance methods capture these militants- how come they can easily post such videos on the Net, or send them to Al-Jazeera/Al-Arabiya, etc?
Please think logically, and do a simple Google search or refer the websites quoted by brother Basheer below.
9/11 Conspiracy Theories
By believing loony conspiracy theories about 9/11, Muslims are making laughing stocks of themselves. After major atrocious events there are always some professors or other fringe experts who propund elaborate pseudo-scientific semi-plausible alternative theories to explain those events. There were plenty of bizarre theories about the assassinations of both President Lincoln and President Kennedy, and there were always some people ready to believe such theories. Even now many Hindus believe that the Godhra train fire was the result of a pre-planned conspiracy involving the Pakistani government and some local residents of Gujarat. Bin Laden and al Zawahiri have sent some 25 audio-tapes to Al Jazeera Televsion which have been broadcast by networks all over the world after being authenticated by experts. In none of those tapes have either of them ever denied responsibility for 9/11.
Pl dont sidestep- face the facts
Ghulam bhai,
Not only fringe professors/experts, but also mainstream ones have questioned the official version so much that even Pres. Obama had to record the same during his talk at Al-Azhar.
Instead of side-stepping the question, and accepting any view as a gullible person, please answer this simple question - why is the US with all its surveillance equipment and satellite imagery unable to capture these hi-tech militants who live in remote mountains yet smuggle out video cassettes to media houses, in the presence of imperial forces?
Kindly proceed in a logical manner, then maybe you will get to know more on the same InshaAllah. What Basheer sahab has pointed out above is right, why should we point fingers at anyone without SOLID and CONCLUSIVE proof? In any court of law, presumption of innocence exists unless proven guilty.
I hope better counsel will prevail and you will not get emotional but will take recourse to rationality.
You quoted many videos of Usama etc on Aljazeerah but are you sure who sent these videos. You are telling as if you're at Aljazeerah and received them. Even if you had received them at Aljazeerah, how to believe that those were sent by Usama? In warfare, information is most important and it would be naive on anybody's part to beileve simple claims without independent verifications. If the conspiracy theories are laughable so should be your rejoinding comments. Let us know who these expert are who announce that the tapes are genuine? Why only Americans certify the authenticity of the tapes. Even if we agree that the people involved are expert, has not the demon-cracky of the West made mess of itself by theories like WMDs and dirty bombs. Mr Ghulam, you have been writing like the Arab Think Tanks who do nothing, not even fearing the Jewish bomb and American military might (even if we accept cowardice a virtue) but talk of the geographical size of Iran to be threat. People who have sold out their soul always argued that Saddam was wrong. This is a partial truth. Had the peaceloving Arabs, those who ganged up against Saddam shown some self respect to the Palestinian problem, Saddam could not have had any excuses. In fact the Gulf Arabs have been more american than the Americans well before Saddam did his misadventure.
The mentality of exluding oneself and then just commenting is not enough. People like you say why the Iraqi's did not behave the way the Germans did after WW2. Poeple are blind enough not to see that only Japan was nuked and not USSR because the commonality of the Cross. Many think that Farsi speaking Iranians would be better than what we have in Arab lands. Atleast most of them are fed on the Palestinian cause and swear by the Qur'an. In our 'modern Quraish' mentality, being a Sunni (whatever that means to you) people conveniently forget that being Shia too is not being a Crusader etc. If is better if we are not asked to renounce the Prophet and God. So, stop commenting coming out of the Muslim Sphere and then claim you are one. This is sycophancy at its best and even the Prophet identified them.
PS: If you cant influence the events, do not sermonise only one party. Laughable.
Note from Moderator: Slightly edited. No personal attacks please.
Mr G Mohidinn,
You firmly believe in the broadcast of the western media and western expert. By same logic you should accept other media and expert. It is mockery if you are the police, prosecutor, adjudicator and executioner. Why to have the facade of fairness. The meek acceptance by people like you or me is in fact aiding the tormentor. It is like asking the raped to enjoy it because it is unavoidable. The better way is to keep mum and regard the wrong as being wrong. Calling the Conspiracy Theorists being 'Loony' is bad mouthing. If you cant call the tormentor's bluff, atleast keep quite. How come one criticises the same group we claim to be from. The mentality of being moderate has been proved to be party to the problem and at best be called 'sell out'.
Ooooops!!! I dont knw
I dont knw whether people r looking around whats going on around.
Even there r several Quranic verses which says about outnumbering several times more than 2:1.
Let me agree for d sake of agreement. Even a layman think about some logical simple Questions apart from saying "Even Osama & Zawahiri" boastly!! accepted their great jihad(???).

Several americans r sayin that their' own admin's involvement is highly suspected. Several people throughout the world did/doing researches about the truth.
We people r saying Muslims did it! by sitting elsewhere.
Even after these proofs, we dont know whether muslims participitated in this organised crime. But I am afraid (as several others do) that in the "Day of Resurrection", i wil be Questioned about spreading false allegations without valid proof.....

BRADENTON, Fla. (93-7 THE FAN) — James McDonald allowed just one hit over 4 shutout innings, but his teammates were shut out for the first 8 innings in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay at a sundrenched but chilly and windswept McKechnie Field Thursday afternoon.
McDonald allowed a leadoff single to open the game, but he picked the runner off at first base, a point of emphasis for Pirate pitchers after opponents ran roughshod on the basepaths last season.
The "bad" JMac resurfaced in the 2nd inning when he walked the first two batters, throwing 8 balls on 9 pitches, but Tampa Bay's Jack Cust swung at the first pitch for a 4-6-3 double play.
"I said, thank you." McDonald grinned. "It's never good to walk two in a row. But I was happy the way I got back down, got a ground ball double play, I could have let it get away, but I didn't."
James McDonald Post-Game:
In the third inning, McDonald hit a batter and then a 2-base error on first baseman Brad Hawpe put runners at 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs, but McDonald got a fly ball to end the threat and his 4th inning was uneventful.
"He used all 4 of his pitches," said manager Clint Hurdle. "His fastball was down at times, elevated with intent at times, had a better breaking ball, threw a couple of sliders, some good change-ups and he controlled the running game picking off a runner. Good day for him."
Clint Hurdle Post-Game:
Tampa Bay righthander Alex Cobb was actually better than McDonald. He also allowed just one hit over 4 innings and he struck out Andrew McCutchen twice.
All four Tampa Bay runs were unearned off the unfortunate JeanMar Gomez. Gaby Sanchez's low throw kept the inning alive, and then Gomez started giving up hits. The Pirates finally scored with two outs in the 9th on singles by Matt Hague and Jared Goedert and a 2-run double by DH Russell Martin.
According to Hurdle, Martin may be ready to catch by Saturday. Brandon Inge, who has also been DH-ing is closer to getting out in the field – at 3rd base, 2nd, 1st and maybe the outfield. Jeff Karstens will throw another 2-inning simulated game tomorrow (Friday).
The Pirates play the Orioles at McKechnie Field Friday night at 7:05 p.m. on Sportsradio 93-7 The Fan. Kyle McPherson is scheduled to start. Starling Marte will play center field with McCutchen getting the night off.

Avishai Cohen: As Is
His sound is pure and innovative; his ensemble continually exudes inspired improvisational ingenuity, as evidenced by his numerous live performances and recordings. His compositions speak to the heart of his western and eastern influences; and as Jazziz has declared of Cohen: "There is no way to reduce bassist Avishai Cohen's music into tidy categories. Seamlessly blending Middle Eastern, folk, funk, fusion, and straight-ahead jazz often on the same song, Cohen has fashioned a singular vision, and it's a joy to experience. One such experience was documented on film by way of his CD/DVD release, As Is (Razdaz Records, 2007). Although currently on tour, Katrina-Kasey Wheeler caught up with Avishai Cohen during one of his free moments.
All About Jazz: How did you become interested in the bass, since you started off as a pianist?
Avishai Cohen: In my teens, I started off listening to a lot of English rock and 70's rock, and that kind of awoke a space within me. I started thinking that playing the electric bass would be cool. I still have no idea why I am playing the bass. I just know that at that point in my life it was something that I wanted to try.
AAJ: I would say that it is definitely a higher calling. Who then was the biggest influence on you back then?
AC: Jaco Pastorius.
AAJ: What have you discovered from his legacy?
AC: I have learned many things, but more important than anything else, I have inheritedor better said, soakedan incredible talent from a spiritual person that created some of the most passionate and interesting music of the century. I received everything that I could ever want to get from a musicianto play good music.
AAJ: Is there much of a jazz scene in Israel? How does it compare to that of the United States? Obviously it would be on a smaller scale.
AC: Jazz is popular for what it is. It used to be much less popular; not as many people knew about it, and there weren't as many fans. There is definitely a thing going on, but it is still very small. I can tell you, it is a place that has one of the highest percentages of incredibly talented musicians that I have ever known, for whatever reason.
AAJ: I can imagine it certainly must be. So then, likewise, does jazz education also differ in Israel when compared to a country like the United States? Are there different avenues in regard to jazz education?
AC: In jazz, the best thing is always to go and hear the best players. There is a little more of that than there used to be, but in terms of studying, there is a school that has good teachers. Of course being that it is Israel everything is smaller, but there are still more opportunities to pursue music than there were twenty years ago. There have been huge developments.
AAJ: That is wonderful to hear, comparatively speaking, since in the United States there are continually so many budget cuts, and music programs are always the first to be cut. Speaking of wonderful opportunities, you were a founding member of Chick Corea's sextet, Origin. What have you taken away from that experience? What is the greatest thing that you learned through it?
AC: I think just learning how to be a bandleader.
AAJ: Chick Corea has labeled you as a genius. How does it feel to have a luminary refer to you as such?
AC: It is definitely very flattering. I take it as a big compliment and don't try to understand it too much. I see it as gesture from Chick which I appreciate very much. I try not to be fixated on it.
AAJ: You have been labeled by so many entities as one of the greatest bass players of the twentieth century. Bass Player magazine labeled you one of the 100 most influential bass players of the twentieth century.
AC: It is definitely a compliment.
AAJ: It certainly must be. You are considered one of the greatest among your peers. You have said that you see music as something spiritual. Would you elaborate on that?
AC: Yes. I think that music in general is something that has a very high nature. It goes beyond the artist or the people listening to it. It belongs to the environment, and if we are lucky we get a lot of it and it transforms through us and it goes back, almost like a cycle. That is the spiritual side. Music is a very magical thing.
AAJ: Yes, it is both spiritual and personal. When you record your material, how much of it is mapped out, so to speak, versus improvised?
AC: The nature of what I do, this art, always has somewhat of a combination between improvised and written music. I'm a very composed type of person. I compose pieces that then go into an open-or-not section. I try to keep a balance between improvisation and written music. The band is always free to express their emotions.

Bicor deadens bedhead with Night-Tame
July 25, 2007-- Home Textiles Today,
New York – Bicor is readying a line of products it asserts will knock the frizz out of bedhead.
Bicor's new Night-Tame line of pillows, cases and pillow protectors uses Invista's Coolmax fiber technology, designed to keep users cool and dry by wicking moisture away from the body.
"There's a hidden benefit," said Allan Berg, president.
Berg discovered the bedhead aspect after testing the products at home. "I don't think anyone has capitalized on this," he said.
In addition to distribution in domestics departments, Bicor hopes to place the line in health and beauty departments. "We want to be sold on the first floor," Berg said.
In addition to Coolmax pillow products, Bicor also will introduce Coolmax sheets at New York Home Fashions Market (Aug. 6-10) in Room 802 at 295 Fifth Avenue.

Daylight Savings Time expired last weekend and the country was treated to an extra hour of sleep on Sunday morning. This week's online poll question at beefmagazine.com is: "Do you support Daylight Savings Time?" Leave your thoughts in the comments section after voting.
Discuss this poll 57
Seems like most people favor the extra hour of day light in the evening, but most people voted no for it??? PRO DST here!
In the Northern hemisphere all of us have to learn to adjust to the sun and the weather. I don't care what people want to call it, but for Pete's sake, let's quit changing the clock! After all humans are supposed to be able to adjust to anything.
Leave it on standard time year around. It messes up calving with sunlight in the morning and my daughter is going to school in the dark in the fall and getting home and there isn't much daylight left.
Leave it on Standard Time. Quit changing it. When they change it in the Spring it is like they push the fast forward button and you can never catch up all day long. Puts you behind in the morning. Kids riding the school bus have to get up too early when you live 60 miles from town. It is not right to send the kids to school in the dark. And they leave it on DST so long they are back going to school in the dark in the Fall way before they change it back. If you need to go to town for a meeting or an appointment you don't have enough time to get your morning chores done in order to be gone the rest of the day.
We should let Congress vote on if we should change back and forth from DST and tie it to food stamps. The time would NEVER change, because neither side can ever agree to anything.
I agree with others, just leave it alone,...........it is hard to do chores when it's already dark outside of an evening. Especially checking to make sure all are in, nothing is down, limping....I like the time left alone with more daylight of an evening, not dark as soon as supper is over.
It is a drain on our nation and other nation's resources to be the only country that insists on following a Daylight Savings calendar. Keep the time Standard.
I would rather leave it DST all year--losing the hour in the spring isn't nearly as bad as having it get dark at 5:00 in the evening when we switch back to regular time! An hour of daylight in the evening when people are going home in bad weather makes a huge difference too!
Out here on the farm we often work daylight to dark (or after), whatever time the clock says it is. Changing the official time is of no benefit to cattlemen. Time adjustments are for those who work in offices. Why not leave the time the same year 'round and shift office schedules? Instead of 9 to 5, they could stay on the job from 8 to 4 and still have plenty of time for a round of golf in the summertime.
Some people who have cattle also have office jobs so the extra daylight in the evenings helps me out tremendously plus I don't play golf...
Same amount of hours of daylight, no matter which time is used. However, I prefer to have the time extended in the evening. Can get things done and maybe even have time to rope!! ;-)
Leave it on standard time. Most of the country is just sitting in front of the tv. The cattle prefer getting fed in the morning so get up and at it:-)
pick a time and LEAVE it alone. there are still the same number of daylight hours no matter what.
Split the difference. Adjust the clocks half an hour once and leave it that way.
Leave it one way or the or the and let us, the citizens, adjust if we need changes!
DST all year round gets my vote. But I live in Indiana so at least we are finally on the same schedule as the rest of the country (we implemented (or maybe it was returned to) DST a few years ago).
I would love to stay on DST year round, but it is dangerous to have kids getting on buses in the dark.
My father and I both work public work and run several head of cattle. I am into work at dark and out at dark. All my winter chores are done in the dark with this winter time. I am in favor of keeping the summer time and keeping that hour of extra day light.
Anytime the topic comes up, no one likes it that I talk to. It needs to be left alone.
If you don't do daylight saving time you will have it getting daylight at 4 AM and it will be dark shortly after 8PM. That's giving up lots of usable daylight hours. Changing your clocks twice a year is only a minor inconvience.
As a teacher, I much prefer standard time. But, I agree with those who say leave it one way or the other. The change is too much to deal with.
please, leave it one way or the other. don't keep changing it!!!
I have to agree with the Indian quote: "Only white man thinks he can cut a foot off of the bottom of the blanket and sew it on the top of the blanket, and gain"????
Both my wife and I work a full time job off the ranch. We leave before the sun comes up and get home after the sun has set during the winter months. We end up doing chores in the dark. Have you ever tried feeding a herd of cows after dark has set in?
Yes I am a fan of daylight saving time but I would prefer that they leave it that way year around. I would much rather have the extra hour of light in the evening, and getting up in the dark is no big deal.
Leave it on dst. Working a public job and farming. We need all the daylight we can get in the afternoon.
Working fulltime off the farm and having a fulltime farming job to go with it, we need that extra hour of daylight!
have had a hard time adjusting this year, maybe just leave time alone, originally to save energy but its hard for me to see or believe any more leave it be one way or the other.
General energy advantage has been lost with heating and cooling taking over from lighting.
Agree with staying on DST full time or staying on standard time full time. When working according to the clock, the weekend with the lost hour was horrible. The older one gets the more physical disruption by the time change. email@example.com
Who gets that extra hour of sleep if you are feed animals? We feed before daylight and again as the Sun is setting. Let's just stick to ONE Time and do away with the disruption.
Why can they not just leave it alone.....one way or the other as just upsets everyone's natural schedule for days......Farmers and Ranchers work from sunup to sunset and longer basically, anyway, regardless of the clock
In my situation I prefer daylight savings time. Having a full time off the farm job, while also farming and running a fall calving commercial cow herd makes for some long days, and the extra hour or so of daylight after work makes some afternoon tasks easier. It gets old leaving home before dark and getting home after dark for months at a time.

I wish they would leave it on DST all year long. I think it is hard to adjust to it and change the body's internal clock. Also, DST affords those of us who work a job off the ranch a little daylight to get chores done after work.

- The IEPROS team designed the system around the information gathered from the workshop.
- The IEPROS team met with company users groups regularly to discuss changing needs and implement new updates based on the needs.
The Thomson Reuters brochures mentioning IEPROS are from 2009,[1][2] and no mention of the IEPROS service is currently on the Thomson Reuters website as of September 2011. A similar service, Thomson Reuters Custom IP Solutions, does offer customized search systems called Thomson Reuters Custom IP Applications. These applications allow users to "customize your patent research and monitoring to meet your specific patent data and workflow requirements."[3]
