The Rou Estate, Corfu
An abandoned hamlet in the foothills of Mount Pantokrator has been transformed to create the Rou Estate. Converted by British architect Dominic Skinner – who moved to Corfu after a stint working for Norman Foster – it now has 14 self-contained stone houses, elevated above the east coast with views towards the Albanian headland. Each cottage is different in style, but they are linked by lavish gardens planted with wisteria, wild herbs and cypress trees. A communal pool, gym and spa provide the finishing touches.
The Rou Estate, Sinies, Corfu (Bookings via Simpson Travel 0845 868 5214; rouestate.co.uk). Rental starts at £1,716 per week for six guests.
Blue Palace, Crete
The Blue Palace flaunts flawless views of the Bay of Elounda, with the rising spine of Spinalonga in the distance. Each of the elegant suites, bungalows and villas salutes the sea-front setting, with nautical shades of sheer white and blue. Restaurants range from the Flame steak house to a typical Greek taverna at the Blue Door, which serves shrimp souvlaki and Cretan dakos from a former fisherman's house on the shore. The private pebble beach provides space to unwind, with parasols, daybeds and the Isola bar.
Blue Palace, Elounda, Crete (00 30 284 106 5500; bluepalace.gr). Double bungalows start at €260, room only.
San Giorgio, Mykonos
This "pop-up" hotel sprang up in the Cyclades in May as a collaboration between Design Hotels and Mykonos's Paradise Club. Until 15 October, it welcomes guests to an earthy, bohemian setting that aims to feel like "visiting the summer home of your coolest friend". It has 34 rooms and suites, dotted with woven rugs and stripped wooden tables, all cast against a bright backdrop of whitewashed walls. Perks include a pool-side restaurant and VIP entry to the Paradise Club for all guests.
San Giorgio, Paraga, Mykonos (00 30 228 902 7474; sangiorgio-mykonos.com). Doubles start at €150, B&B.
Kos Imperial Thalasso, Kos
Palm trees and perfect Aegean waters meet on the shoreline of the Kos Imperial, which has six lagoon-like pools and a "lazy river" which guests can float down on rubber rings. The reason for the deluge? Kos is the birthplace of Hippocrates, the founding father of Western medicine, who believed in the healing power of water. The Elixir spa continues the theme with "thalassotherapy" treatments that use warm seawater. Down at the beach, there's also a Padi-certified dive centre and watersports.
Kos Imperial Thalasso, Psalidi, Kos (00 30 224 205 8000; grecotel.com/kos). Doubles start at €139, room only.
Melenos, Rhodes
It took local owner Michalis Melenos 14 years to realise his dream of creating "a village within a village" near the ancient acropolis at Lindos. Born and bred in Rhodes, Michalis drafted in an army of local craftsmen to breathe new life into this corner of the island. Together they created 12 suites, with hand-painted ceramics, ornate pebble mosaics and carved wooden furniture. The attention to detail is matched outside with landscaped gardens and a roof-top restaurant that glances out across the Aegean.
Melenos, Lindos, Rhodes (00 30 224 403 1720; melenoslindos.com). Doubles start at €200, including breakfast.
On the Rocks, Santorini
As its name suggests, On the Rocks juts out from a volcanic cliff-face on Santorini's dramatic east coast. Its blanched crop of cubist suites and villas stand some 200 metres above the caldera basin, with panoramic views of the thermal playground below. Inside, the rooms are almost entirely alabaster-white, save for subtle splashes of sea blue. The scenic, ridge-top village of Imerovigli hugs the resort on all sides, while the island capital of Fira is a 10-minute drive away.
On the Rocks, Imerovigli, Santorini (00 30 228 602 3889; onrocks.net). Doubles from €139, including breakfast.

Philip Klein's recent column about Medicaid expansion highlights some of the major problems with the Medicaid expansion under ObamaCare, which would cost taxpayers around $1 trillion over ten years if all states were to participate.
In its ruling last year upholding ObamaCare, the Supreme Court gave states the option of not participating in the expansion of Medicaid. Yet many states, including states with Republican governors, have chosen to move forward with the expansion.
Klein points out that many of the normally fiscally-responsible governors who made the decision to participate in the ObamaCare Medicaid expansion have framed their decision as "doing the right thing for those in need."
But a recent study in Oregon found that there were no demonstrable improvements to the health outcomes of low-income patients randomly selected for Oregon's Medicaid expansion, as compared to similar patients who were not enrolled in Medicaid. This study offered a real-world preview of what is likely to happen with a broader expansion of Medicaid, which is that trillions of dollars will be spent for few, if any, measurable results.
Klein notes that governments at all levels will spend an estimated $7.4 trillion on Medicaid, which one-fourth of state budgets, more than any other single program. This, of course, means that states do not have as much money to spend on other priorities like education and transportation because of the escalating costs of Medicaid.
As Klein rightly points out, "there is nothing humane about taking money from middle class taxpayers to finance a health-care entitlement for the poor that, according to the best available research, does not improve their health."
Instead, the right solution is to give states the flexibility to administer their programs to best serve their unique populations, as Indiana has done with the Healthy Indiana Plan. The reforms I authored in the State Health Flexibility Act and the FY2014 House Budget would accomplish this.

It wouldn't cost $420 a month if you put down enough $$$ though. If you really wanted the car and could afford to make it happen, e.x. putting down 50-60% of the price up front or maybe a bit more to lower the payments, or just save and pay for the whole thing in cash. It's not really responsible to take out a large loan on a depreciating asset, although we do it all the time anyway.
The clutch is feather light but is kind of an on/off switch iirc, but the car drove so damned nicely that once I got used to the clutch and the layout of the 6 forward gears to end up in 3rd when I wanted and 5th when I wanted and not cross shift, or going from 5th to 6th instead of 5th to 4th.
If I hadn't already bought my MK3 I'd have had to seriously consider at least an ST1 if not an ST2, but I really didn't want MFT.

Is it really possible to talk to a cat with your mind?
I a lot of times lay in front of one of my cats and say something in my mind. Then they seem to respond. Sometimes at school I even hear the meowing and then no one's there. Isn't this strange?

i cant say for sure what your hearing but cats definately know a lot more about what we are thinking we had one cat who always did her own thing but everytime we would bring home fish and we had no fixed day for this we would drive to the top of the hill and from the top we would look down and there she would be up on the garage roof waiting and we were still a good 300 yrds away so she couldnt smell it! cats well you really dont know .

I agree with you and with Gracie, and I also believe that once an animal has gone to the Rainbow Bridge, that doesn't mean you are out of contact. When Izzie got lost when we moved in November, I sent up an emergency call to our Golden Retriever, Mollie, at the Bridge to help me find him. I walked into the house we had just moved out of to get something I'd left behind (other than my cat--lol) and when I opened the basement door, there Izzie was! I am totally convinced he can read my mind. Don't let anyone convince you that cats don't know what we are thinking.

1-What is your budget?
2- What is purpose of pistol, range, home, carry?
A few weeeks ago I borrowed my brother-in-laws Colt 1911 series 80 and just loved it. Last week I bought a Springfield XD 45 (a deal I could not refuse) and am not crazy about it. I think I want to go back to a 1911. Since I don't have access to a bunch of 1911's what would you recommend? Keeping in mind that I really like the Colt so something similar in size and feel would be good. If it ends up being a colt what series etc.. should I look for? I want something to shoot and I don't have to worry about tearing up a great/valuable gun. Thanks.
1-What is your budget?
2- What is purpose of pistol, range, home, carry?
Get one with adjustable sights several makes to choose from and don't over look some of the used ones. I like Colt the best but many other good ones out there see which feels best in your hand.
I carry a Sprinfield GI Spec 1911 with Hogue grips and it has proven to be a great target weapon. I recommend rubber grips (wrap around) with any target pistol, even on the hot days at the range it doesn't slip.

Went to another mechanic today to get a second opinion. Apparently it is a rod knock for sure. Bad news is I have to put money into my car. Good news is i get to put money into my car and my wife has to be ok with it! Ha. Right now, I think I'm just going to do a 2.5 short block and keep my 2.0 heads. I've got a mechanic who will do it and a tune for pretty cheap, and he does good work. The problem now is finding a motor. I have a buddy who works for Subaru, and hopefully he can get a new EJ257 short block for me for a hefty discount. Am I going to have to get a bunch of new stuff for this swap, or will the 2.5 shortblock suffice for now? I've been reading a few threads on here, but if any of y'all have some advice, I will take it.
Anyone have a EJ257 for sale?

It's already February, and Valentine's Day is right around the corner. If you haven't already taken care of your Valentine's Day gifts, you might think it'd too late and just settle for a lame old box of drugstore chocolates and roses from the gas station. But the whole point of Valentine's Day gifts is to show her how much you appreciate her, so the effort is really what counts. Even if it's the night before Valentine's, a little effort and creativity can go a long way into making your Valentine's Day gift special and memorable. All the classic Valentine's Day gifts—chocolate, flowers, and jewelry—are available up to the very last minute if you know where to look.
Anything you do together can be romantic—be creative!
Don't even think of calling that heart-shaped red box of chocolate from the drugstore a "Valentine's Day gift". The chocolate inside will be stale and boring, and worst of all, it shows that you forgot about Valentine's Day gifts until literally the last second. If you find yourself leaving work on Valentine's Day empty-handed, stop at the nearest high-end grocery store. They should have some imported or artisanal chocolate that will suffice as a Valentine's Day gift and satisfy her chocolate cravings without too much hassle for you. Alternatively, fill a gift basket with all her favorite treats—Ben and Jerrys, gourmet popcorn, and a nice bottle of wine—and get a movie for a fun night at home.
If you must have chocolate, but the stores are all closed or sold out, consider making your own chocolate confections. Chocolate-covered strawberries are actually incredibly easy to make, but they are universally beloved Valentine's Day gifts. Nothing surprises a woman like her man showing up with a plate of homemade truffle brownies or chocolate chip cookies! It may not qualify as an extravagant Valentine's gift, but she will surely appreciate the thought and the cookies nonetheless!
If you don't have time to face the crowds at the local mall, you might think you have no hope of finding that perfect Valentine's Day jewelry gift before the big day. Luckily for you, online jewelry boutique Whiteflash.com caters to the procrastinator, with free overnight shipping on in-stock items. That means you can log on at noon on February 12th, and be holding a stunning jewelry gift like a white gold and diamond pendant or a pair of A Cut Above earrings in your hand by the 14th. Plus, jewelry experts will communicate with you by phone or live chat to help you quickly and easily pick the perfect piece of jewelry for your Valentine.
Believe it or not, you can get a perfect Valentine's jewelry gift shipped to you overnight
If you forgot about making reservations at the local romantic eatery until the day before Valentine's, chances are they will be booked. But that doesn't mean your chances for a romantic dinner for two are completely ruined. There are tons of awesome things to do on Valentine's Day, so the dinner does not have to be the center of your night. Sign up for a fun activity like a ballroom dancing lesson or a cooking class, and then hit dinner at an untraditional time when reservations are more likely to open up.
Or skip the elegant bistro altogether and turn your romantic dinner together into an adventure of a Valentine's Day gift. Go to an exotic restaurant featuring a national cuisine you've never tried, or uncover and indulge her secret junk-food mecca, whether it is KFC or Burger King.
If you're feeling especially bold, and you want to give a Valentine's Day gift that comes straight from the heart, consider cooking dinner for two on your own. It doesn't have to be difficult or extremely complicated—just stick with one elegant entree and a decadent dessert, plus store-bought appetizers and sides like gourmet olives and cheeses. Don't forget about Valentine's Day ambiance—a few flowers and candles go a long way.
If you're heading home on Valentine's Day and you notice that bucket of red roses at the gas station, the temptation to grab a dozen and call it a Valentine's Day gift can be overwhelming. Resist that temptation—there is no gift more boring and thoughtless than cheap roses that begin wilting before they get home. Instead, head to the nearest independent florist's shop and ask the flower experts there to help you put together an arrangement that is exciting, unique and personal. If you know her favorite flower, by all means include it, but if you don't, the florist can help you choose something appropriate. Roses may be sold out if it's really late, but a truly unique bouquet that shows care and attention is more romantic anyway.
In an ideal world, we would all plan the perfect Valentine's Day gift months in advance. But with as few as 24 hours to go, you can still put together a dream date and a perfect Valentine's present that she will love. And the best part is—she never has to know.

Networks as a novel tool for studying team ball sports as complex social systems
Passos, Pedro, Davids, Keith, Araujo, Duarte, Paz, N., Minguens, J., & Mendes, Jose (2011) Networks as a novel tool for studying team ball sports as complex social systems. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 14(2), pp. 170-176.
This paper describes and evaluates the novel utility of network methods for understanding human interpersonal interactions within social neurobiological systems such as sports teams. We show how collective system networks are supported by the sum of interpersonal interactions that emerge from the activity of system agents (such as players in a sports team). To test this idea we trialled the methodology in analyses of intra-team collective behaviours in the team sport of water polo. We observed that the number of interactions between team members resulted in varied intra-team coordination patterns of play, differentiating between successful and unsuccessful performance outcomes. Future research on small-world networks methodologies needs to formalize measures of node connections in analyses of collective behaviours in sports teams, to verify whether a high frequency of interactions is needed between players in order to achieve competitive performance outcomes.

If you live in Franklin Township or Kent, have you taken a look at your current property taxes lately? The value of my house went down, but my property taxes went up over $100 per year, and this is before the Kent school levy gets voted on. Per the Portage County Auditor's office, this is because of home foreclosures and delinquent taxes and less money from the state.
The Kent schools are allowed to collect more from me and anyone else who pays property tax, as long as they get the allotted amount. Now, they are asking for an 8.9-mill levy. This will cost me approximately $550 more each year if it gets voted in.
Where do I get this money from? My health insurance went up $80 a month this year also. Food prices are up, gasoline is way up, the cost of living is skyrocketing, etc. What about senior citizens? Are we going to get hundreds of dollars more in Social Security checks to cover these expenses? I think not.
Maybe it is time our superintendents, principals and teachers start paying their fair share. They are very well paid and have great benefits (pensions, health care, paid vacations, sick days, etc).
They say they need the money so they don't have to cut busing and extracurricular activities. So many scare tactics all the time. Maybe children should walk to school like we used to. Besides, Mr. Giancola, aren't you the one who wants the children locked in the schools all day without going out for recess so no one can harm our children? Then they obviously don't need extra activities because sports are played outside. You also want shatterproof glass put in all the doors and a policeman at all the schools. Are you going to pay for all these unnecessary things for a fail-safe society?
And oh, by the way I think only homeowners should vote for school levies. I am sure all those kids at Kent State who vote the levies in. They don't own property, what do they care? It won't cost them anything.
And, please, teachers, do not talk to students including first-graders about what they will lose if the levy doesn't pass. This is propaganda and these are adult matters.
Kathleen Drown, Franklin Township
I think that only property owners should be allowed to vote on any issue pertaining to taxes or regulations on property. You must remember that when you pass a levy or a regulation on property, the property owners do not have a choice, they must pay the tax.
I believe the average social security amount is around $12,000 a year. The people on welfare get more than that, and the welfare people get to vote to raise the taxes against those getting less than they do.
You may want to check with your board of elections on students who can only vote on candidates-17 year olds who will be 18 by the general election may vote in the primary on candidates only. 18 year olds as most college students are, can vote on issues and candidates if they are a registered voter in that precinct regardless if their address is a dorm room at the school or they live off campus. A lot of landlords own homes in one city and live elsewhere-they dont vote in that city or on that levy. Besides all landlords are not bad people who up their rent every time a levy goes through.
Kathleen, Students at a college or university can only vote on local issues IF their school address is considered their permanent address. Most students don't consider their "school" address permanent. As far as only allowing "homeowners" to vote, do you think that landlords don't "add" the cost of property taxes to the rent that is charged? Your letter is full of so much misinformation that it is difficult to take your comments seriously.
Kathleen It seems to me that your letter is an veritable musuem of the uninformed, over generalized simplistic lines of argument used by many on this issue. The actual issues of education, funding, culture, societal bonds etc. have little to do with the cheap, talk radio replay rant of another American that doesn't feel a responsibility to their fellows.
It seems like a few folks here might be just a little selfish and stingy to me.
"Kathleen is absolutely correct. It is always the same 'propaganda', use 'SCARE TACTICS' to get, just about 'ANYTHING' in the name of 'EDUCATION' that they 'WANT' by tagging the item as 'FOR OUR CHILDREN' EDUCATION??? Is it no wonder, that 'LONG TIME' residents of Kent are 'bailing' out of the city for the Townships??" "In my estimation it has become 'almost' like 'ORGANIZED EXTORTION' from the residents!!!!"
Is not all the new business in Kent helping with the school funding? If not, then we the property owners are funding these businesses to build, not the general population. Is not the Kent School District one of the highest property's taxed areas in Portage county? NO NEW TAXES

Makes 4 servings
Beef lovers, this one's for you: wok-seared slices of steak in a robust brown sauce with colorful bell peppers.
2 tablespoons oyster-flavored sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
across the grain
1/3 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
1/2 each green, red, and yellow
bell peppers, julienned
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved
in 2 teaspoons water
1/2 fresh jalapeño chili, sliced
Getting Ready
Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add beef and stir to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Place a wok over high heat until hot. Add 1-1/2 tablespoons oil, swirling to coat sides. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add beef and stir-fry until no longer pink, 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove meat from pan.
Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to wok, swirling to coat sides. Add bell peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add water and stir-fry until peppers are tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Return meat to wok and add sauce; bring to a boil. Add cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens.
To serve, garnish with chili slices.
Cut off the top and bottom of the pepper. Next, make a single cut along the side, to open the pepper. Pull out and discard the central core of membranes and seeds. Now lay the pepper, skin side down, on a cutting board, spreading it out flat.
Holding a sharp knife or cleaver flat against the pepper, trim away any remaining membrane. You now have a long flat rectangle that's easy to slice crosswise.

Throwing streamers on to the field started as a fad to add some color to Major League Soccer's fanscape, but it may be getting out of hand, writes Frank Dell'Apa, who feels that policing may be needed to prevent a player from getting hurt.
At the Columbus Crew this past Saturday, New England's Steve Ralston was the latest player to be showered by streamers every time he
took a corner kick. Crew fans in one section "provided chanting, singing and color in the form of black-and-yellow scarves and streamers." But Ralston also spotted bananas, batteries and beer and
also had to clear away a smoke bomb.
"The Crew, and Major League Soccer, want to encourage fan support but must draw the line," says Dell'Apa. Fans at Houston started the craze,
then it was taken up with gusto at Toronto last year, with nearly every opposing corner kick 'streamered.' "A blend of Euro-Latin American sporting-event feel is developing at MLS games, less rowdy
than in other countries but also unlike anything happening at other U.S. professional sporting events. The vast majority of supporters would be satisfied with streamer displays and a lot of noise.
But they are going to need some help to stop a few more radical types from spoiling the fun."

My step father is going to US and will bring me some Wii games. Since my financial resources are limited, I was able to pick only four games. Three of them I'm already sure about:
• Metroid: Other M - I'm afraid of the red door issue, but it's Metroid done in a somewhat old school manner, so I cannot afford not pick it.
• Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon - Most say it's a mediocre game with bad fight controls, but I got very hyped about the ghostly loneliness of the world and the search for the white haired girl.
• Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love - I never played a turn based game, nor a strategy game, nor a date sim. So it's all novelty for me. Everyone said it's not a game for anyone. I believe I'll have do dive deep till I get hooked, but I'm pretty sure I definitely will. An acquired taste I want to, well, acquire.
Then the fourth title is where my doubt lies: Muramasa The Demon Blade or Deadly Creatures? I'm split right between the two. They're as different as two games can be and I don't know which experience is the most fulfilling. I would love to hear from you. Please, help!

China appeals to rival Taiwan with ancient treasures
By Ralph Jennings
TAIPEI (Reuters Life!) - A state-run academy in China is hosting the biggest show of treasures to reach rival Taiwan in 60 years, offering a plethora of works including wedding sedans and music to teach the island about its Chinese roots.
The Chinese National Academy of Arts displayed 230 rare items in ethnic Chinese Taiwan this week so the public could take a closer look at its neighbor, often regarded as a military threat, and consider helping save their common heritage.
Some works displayed at the free-entry show in Taipei are listed as Chinese national treasures. A few are marked by the United Nations for preservation. Some date back 2,000 years.
Other items, such as a giant loom, still work so well that the academy brought 22 craftspeople to give live demonstrations.
"The two sides come from the same roots," said Tian Qing, an academy professor managing the exhibit, suggesting that Taiwan's youth should study the treasures, then act to save them.
"One aspect is to tell people we have this beauty from the past and another is to let them know it needs protection," Tian said. "On the path to modernization, don't let it get lost."
China lost some of its best pieces in the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), when signs of wealth and status were wiped out, he said. Taiwan, for its part, should be mindful of the cultural influences from outside the region, such as that from the United States, Tian said.
China has claimed sovereignty over self-ruled Taiwan since 1949, when Mao Zedong's forces won the Chinese civil war and Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists fled to the island. Beijing has vowed to bring Taiwan under its rule, by force if necessary. Continued...

Interior ?'s
Ok first of all, i've got all the panels made, and just have to recover,, I recovered a few pieces today, and this brought a few questions...
1. how do you wrap the corners with out shoing a lil buldge, and what about if your wrapping the inner edge of a 90 degree panel.. there's not enough material to cover the center after it's cut.. check my pics to see what I mean.
2. I'm at a loss for what materials to use.. I have some samples from keyston. I'm doing these panels with their rave.. seems to be fine, I think it's their version of immitation leather.. But I have samples of their soft side collection,, which i like cause there are many different options, but it's vinyl and not sure it it'll work.. have their allamanti selection.. not sure if it's spelled right.. and considered real leather but believe it's really expensive.. any suggestions here would be great.
3. of materials selected what can you get away with using on a seat cover
4. what methods are used for cutting the pvc board.. we used a utility knife and exacto knife.. can you use wood working equipment to cut such as radial arm saw, skill saw, etc.
thanks very much in advance...
here's the slight buldge i'm having a prob getting away from.. any ideas??
Upholsery panels
When you finish those outside corners and angles, after you have glued the front side,you need to bring the fabric or vinyl over, and around to the back before you glue it, and see where you need to cut it so it lays flatter. Make sure you have some fabric from each angle though, or it wont stay tight. It would be like cutting out pie pieces, to get a good fit. Do not cut the fabric all the way down to panel board, Cut it about 1/8" away. For the inside 90 degree if your using a good stretchable vinyl cut it down to about 1/4" from board and slowly glue it down, If you have a heat gun you may try that to soften it up some to stretch around so you don't see cut, but don"t burn it . Hope this helps Tom Werner Upholstery
well as far as the outter edges goes that's basically what we were trying for, but at the same time trying to keep some material there.. i think I just need to practice at it.. i'm trying to make it so you can't seen anything overlapping from anywhere on the outside corner.. i might try heating this also.. as far as the inside goes.. i'm gonna just try to warm it up and work it in.. but the thing i'm worried about is it not holding.. even if i can get the corner covered, will it stay??? that has me a little worried..
Use Weldwood DAP glue. put on both the vinyl and board let dry. Then put on one side again wait till its real tacky and press together. works great for me . TOM

[Editor of The Muslim News, Ahmed J Versi speaking at The Muslim News Awards for Excellence event. (Photo: Abdul Datoo/The Muslim News)
Prime Minister, Lords, Ladies, distinguished guests, ministers and friends, Assalamu 'alaykum (peace be with you).
Thank you all for braving London's rush-hour traffic to attend this, the twelfth, Muslim News Awards for Excellence event. I would like to begin by welcoming all those who have been nominated for the awards to be presented this evening.
I would like to thank all our readers who took the time to nominate the men, women and children whose endeavours and activities mark them out for recognition of excellence.
These awards are all about you. You are the reason we are here tonight. Your creativity, dynamism and enthusiasm to make a difference, is what we are here to celebrate tonight. As in previous years, we have been humbled by the quality and the quantity of entries for each award category.
Indeed, this year has set a new record for the number of nominations received. Given the disproportionate focus on bad news reporting when it comes to Islam and British Muslims, it is all the more important that we should honour good practice, and celebrate the exemplary work of the illustrious men, women and children present among us tonight.
There are countless individuals and organisations striving to make a difference to the way Muslims are perceived and portrayed in our society. This award ceremony is one way to ensure that their contributions are not marginalised or overlooked.
Once more, The Muslim News Awards for Excellence has brought together over 800 people of all ages, backgrounds and disciplines, from around the country as far as Scotland, to demonstrate to all – and to young Muslims in particular – that vitality, dynamism, diligence, creativity, inspiration, progress and reward are all alive and kicking in the British Muslim community.
It is represented here in abundance.
Yet, in the face of our many visible successes, there are those who refuse to relent and insist that Muslims are 'disloyal' to our country and in 'need of integration'.
A decade ago Muslims were, in the main, observed and viewed through the lens of fundamentalism. A decade on they've come to be observed and seen through the prism of violent extremism and terrorism.
The preoccupation with the actions of a tiny violent minority and a small though vocal provocative fringe, has come to eclipse the everyday achievements of the British Muslim majority.
The media bears a degree of responsibility for this state of affairs and it is worth remarking on the recommendations of the Leveson Inquiry established by the Prime Minister.
It is our hope that the sealing of the Royal Charter will usher in an era of a fairer portrayal of British Muslims in our media; devoid of distortion and bias.
As for The Conservative Party, it is not today the Tory party of old. William Hague when Leader of the Party, made significant efforts to turn the Party around and began to demonstrate a greater understanding of Britain's diverse communities.
It was under William Hague's leadership of the Party that we saw Britain's first Muslim member of the European Parliament, Bashir Khanbhai.
Now we have two British Muslims in the European Parliament, both from Conservative Party, Sajjad Karim and Syed Kamall.
This change has continued under the current leadership of David Cameron. There are now two Conservative peers of the Muslim faith and one of them, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, was the first Muslim cabinet Minister .
During the last elections, for the first time, two Muslim standing for the Conservative Party were elected in the House of Commons, Sajid Javid and Rehman Chisti. There are also six Muslim MPs from the Labour Party. The visibility of British Muslims in our political and public institutions is transforming, in small but significant ways, the negative stereotyping we have all witnessed in recent years.
Their contributions, their presence and their faithful service is a matter of deep pride in our community. Let us recognise that too here tonight.
Allow me to reflect on just a few of the interventions we have seen under the leadership of our Prime Minister that give cause for pause and proper recognition by the Party to celebrate all the communities that make up British society.
The Prime Minister welcomed the World Islamic Economic Forum to the UK last October.
For first time the Forum has been held outside a Muslim majority country. At the Forum, the PM announced the issuing of the UK's first ever Sukuk, to the value of 200 million pounds.
The Prime Minister also outlined plans for the development of Shari'ah compliant student loans, to ensure that British Muslim students are able to take full advantage of the UK's world-class Higher Education Institutions.
The Prime Minister further announced funds for seed capital for Muslim entrepreneurs, recognising the potential for growth in Islamic finance and industry. An industry that is set to grow to £1.3 trillion this year.
The Government's, Help to Buy mortgage scheme, has now been extended to include a Shari'a compliant alternative to mortgages, the Home Purchase Plans. The development of Islamic finance has been covered by The Muslim News since the paper's inception 25 years ago.
The Muslim News continues to be the largest circulating, not only Muslim newspaper but ethnic paper too, reaching over 150,000 people in the UK and the website receives up to 1.5 million hits a month.
My congratulations to all of those who are successful and win here tonight. I wish you all a very enjoyable and inspiring evening.
Before I invite the Guest of Honour, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the person who made this evening possible, Mahmood Al-Najar, Chair of The Prestige Group.
And now I would like to invite the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon David Cameron.

As bad as the tsunami and earthquake hit Nissan, the company did get one lucky break. A 600-car shipment of Nissan Leafs was able to get out of Japan on Thursday, a day before the disaster struck.
Nissan has been in trouble with the Leaf in the U.S., unable to get enough cars here for the 20,000 customers who have reserved one. Though it's a small-volume model, Leaf is Nissan's halo car, the first fully electric car from a major maker. It can drive up to 100 miles between charges.
For the moment, Nissan says it could be short of Infinitis, Nissan GTRs and 370Zs. And it says it isn't sure about the status of further Leaf deliveries.

Publication Acceptance Date: 11/18/2004
Publication Date: 3/1/2005
Citation: Beeri, O., Phillips, R., Carson, P., Liebig, M.A. 2005. Alternate satellite models for estimation of sugar beet residue nitrogen credit. Agric. Ecosys. Environ. 107:21-35. Interpretive Summary: Use of remote sensing for precision agriculture has the potential improve nitrogen (N) management in agroecosystems. Using a combination of ground-truth data and satellite imagery, residue N credits were developed for sugar beet fields in the Red River Valley of North Dakota. Data collected within sugar beet fields included leaf carbon (C) and N, spectral reflectance of leaf C and N, and aboveground biomass. Data collected with satellite imagery was generated by Landsat 5, SPOT 5, Quick-Bird 2, and Ikonos 2. Variability of aboveground biomass in sugar beet fields was identified and mapped with 84 to 94% accuracy, depending on the sensor. Sugar beet leaf N was similar for all sites and varieties tested, so aboveground biomass primarily influenced N-credit estimates. Measured C:N ratio variability was also identified and mapped to allow for the identification of aberrant, low-leaf quality field zones. Spectral models for N-credit and leaf quality developed in this study have the potential to improve N management for sugar beet fields in the Red River Valley of North Dakota.
Technical Abstract: Remote sensing has proven useful for assessing the concentration of foliar biochemicals under controlled laboratory conditions, but field-scale satellite model validation for quantitative, landscape-scale nitrogen (N) assessment is needed. We addressed this problem by building ground-truth models for sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) N-credit and tested these models with alternate satellite sensor imagery. Spectral reflectance and leaf carbon (C) and N in situ at leaf and canopy levels were assessed near the end of the growing season using a 1-nm bandwidth spectroradiometer. Univariate correlation analyses between spectral reflectance and leaf N, C:N ratio, and aboveground biomass were performed to determine spectral signature models for leaf quality and plant biomass. The 1-nm hyperspectral data were convolved to fit Landsat 5, SPOT 5, Quick-Bird 2, and Ikonos 2 multi-spectral satellite bands and models were created using stepwise linear regression. Field-scale variability for aboveground biomass was identified and mapped, with 84 to 94% accuracy, depending on the sensor. Sugar beet leaf N was similar for all sites and varieties tested (31 mg/g dw), so biomass primarily influenced N-credit estimates. Measured C:N ratio variability was identified and mapped to delineate areas where C:N ratio was outside the normal distribution, thereby allowing for the identification of aberrant, low-leaf quality field zones. In summary, we provide separate spectral models for N-credit and leaf quality applicable to available multi-spectral sensors for precision sugar beet N management.

I've long wanted to create a database of themes that support my SEO plugin and never came up with a manageable way of doing that. When my buddy Amir from WPML emailed me about their two new plugins, Types and Views, it took me a while to grasp what they did. Turns out I'm daft and it's actually quite easy when you install it and they're perfect for that job. So I thought I'd let you all enjoy what I'd done with it. I'll review both of them, in a 3 post series in which I'll also create my desired database.
Database of Themes that support my WordPress SEO plugin
I've also got a project I'll use this for: I want a database of themes that support my WordPress SEO plugin, with some specific settings info, a screenshot, etc. I want to store these as a custom post type. So the first step is to determine which info I would need to store:
- Basic stuff:
- Title of the theme
- Short description
- Screenshot
- Is this a paid theme or not?
- Price (if applicable)
- And some more advanced stuff:
- Does this theme have its own SEO options that "yield" to WordPress SEO?
- Does this theme support breadcrumbs?
- Does this theme require force rewrite titles to be on or not?
Creating a Custom Post Type
Having determined what I wanted to store, the next step was to create a Custom Post Type. That's as easy as using this interface:
I could add Taxonomies to it as well, but I'll leave that for now, although creating a taxonomy is just as easy through the Types interface. I end up with my WordPress SEO theme CPT:
Adding Custom Fields
You'll think "huh, that hasn't got any of the specific data yet": that's right. It doesn't. That's where the true power of Types comes in, you can create "Custom Field Groups" and add these to post types. So I did:
As you can see you can choose from a lot of different types of fields, and all these types have their own content checks. For instance for a URL, it'll allow you to "force" a correct URL. I've added the custom field group to my WPSEO Themes post type, and now, when I go into edit or create a new WPSEO Theme "post", I get this interface below the title and content area:
So far, no coding was required, thanks to the wonderful Types plugin! You can get that, for free, on wp-types.com or on WordPress.org.
So, what we needed to do:
Creating a custom post type + custom fields.
- Creating a form through which people can submit themes that fills this post type.
- Creating a browsable interface for this post type.
Subscribe below to make sure you won't miss the next two steps!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/3/2014 (1202 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brandon police have concluded their investigation into the death of a toddler who fell down stairs at an unlicensed home-based daycare and no charges will be laid.
While there were some troubling factors surrounding the case — including the fact that the incident happened at a daycare, and the discovery of drugs in the home — the death of the 18-month-old boy has been ruled an accident.
"As a result of investigation, there was no evidence to support a criminal charge in relation to the death of the child," Brandon Police Service Sgt. Mike Pelechaty said on Friday as he outlined details of the investigation done by police and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
The child's tragic death happened more than four months ago, but the police investigation only officially ended last week after they received post-mortem results.
Further details of what happened have been revealed in court, and in court documents.
Messages left for the boy's parents were not returned. Without that contact, the Brandon Sun has opted not to identify the child.
The newspaper has also chosen not to name the man who ran the daycare, and who was present during the fall, as he ultimately wasn't charged in relation to the boy's death.
The fall happened at a house on the 700-block of 20th Street around 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 8, Pelechaty said.
A man ran a daycare out of the home, and four children under four years old — three of them the children of clients, and one of them the operator's own son — were there at the time of the fall.
The man and the children were in the basement, which included a play area and TV area, and the kids were doing various activities.
No one witnessed the fall. The daycare operator, the only adult in the home then, wasn't looking at the stairs at that time and was alerted to the fall by a thud. He then discovered the boy lying on his back at the bottom of the stairs that led to the main floor.
Pelechaty said it appears the boy fell backwards as he tried to climb the stairs. It's not known how many steps the child fell down, but it's possible he was only one or two steps up at the time he fell.
It appears the boy hit his head on the basement floor, which police described as linoleum laid on top of concrete.
The man called 911 and reported that the child was unresponsive. The boy was taken to Brandon hospital, where he died that same day around 9:15 p.m.
A few days later, a post-mortem was done at Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre and Brandon police received the results last week.
The post-mortem determined that the toddler had died from a severe head injury consistent with a single blunt force injury to the rear of his head.
It also determined that the child had an unspecified pre-existing medical condition that may have contributed to the severity of the injury and ultimately his death.
The boy's death was accidental, police concluded —the result of the fall down the stairs and his head hitting the cement floor.
"As a result of the investigation, there was no evidence to suggest any criminal negligence on behalf of the caregiver at the time of the incident," Pelechaty said.
Police noted that a wooden gate was at the top of the stairs, but there was no indication there was one at the bottom.
And, while police found marijuana in the home while investigating the accident, they determined the man wasn't using drugs while caring for the children.
"There was no indication of any recent drug use within the residence," Pelechaty said.
Details on the drugs police found were revealed this week when the 33-year-old daycare operator pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana.
Court documents state that a BPS constable was photographing the basement near where the boy was injured. The officer then entered a mechanical room and smelled the strong odour of fresh raw marijuana.
Crown prosecutor Jason Clouston told court that the officer found a bag on the workbench of the mechanical room that contained marijuana.
A police search that followed turned up a total of two bags of marijuana in the mechanical room that weighed 112 grams combined.
Police also found assorted drug paraphernalia such as a grinder, rolling papers and pipes.
Defence lawyer Philip Sieklicki said the daycare operator, who has no criminal record, used marijuana to ease his anxiety but has now stopped.
The man had the marijuana in the house for a couple of months, Sieklicki said.
Judge Donovan Dvorak sentenced the man with a nine-month conditional discharge and 50 hours of community service work.
No mention was made of whether the daycare continued to operate, but Sieklicki indicated that his client is currently receiving employment insurance.
The man declined to speak with the Brandon Sun following his sentencing on the drug charge.

Last week I bought a skirt, a really beautiful fluorescent green and mint brocade skirt. Sounds a little terrifying? I thought so too. In fact, when it landed on my desk (I'm a serial online shopper), I guarded the returns document with the same protective force with which I mind the last drops of my pint at closing time. Namely, because I had no clue what to wear with my new purchase. While I'd like to consider myself something of an expert where putting one piece of clothing alongside another is concerned, this skirt had me flummoxed.
Of course, the whingey Brit in me immediately blamed the weather: this underwhelming grey May has put paid to the idea that a simple white T-shirt or vest is the solution to all clothing co-ordination issues. "Perhaps I could save it for a sunny day," I thought, trying desperately to justify the dent this awkward thing of beauty had left on my bank balance. And then I found myself pouring over the APC lookbook. The brilliant thing about the middle-market canon of French fashion — which brands such as APC inhabit — is its ability to offer basics with a chic, far-from-ordinary edge.
Classic T-shirts and — crucially, given our weather predicament — crew-neck sweatshirts are given a luxurious edge on APC's watch, making them the perfect solution for all summer wardrobe conundrums. While I would never jump to suggest a sloppy sweatshirt that you've had in your drawer for the past four years as a worthy summer occasionwear accompaniment, one purchased from a middle-market brand and designed with this season's lux sportswear aesthetic in mind just might do the job.
The sweatshirt has certainly been elevated from couch to catwalk in recent seasons, making it the perfect problem-solving basic for poor flummoxed souls such as me (your heart is bleeding, I know). When seeking out the perfect evening-proof sweatshirt, I suggest looking for good-quality cotton and a neutral shade. A white sweater — Zara has a gorgeous cocooned sleeve option — is a great pick for those with fluoro-and-mint skirt dilemmas, while a sweater in luscious green — see Stella McCartney — works well with navy. Trophy — or jazzy, should we ignore the tried-and-tested fashionspeak — sweaters are also increasingly popular this season because design extrovert Henry Holland chose bouquets of sequin flowers to titivate the sweatshirts in his current season collection. Other more extravagant sweater options are available at YMC.
Frankly, smart casual has never been so fabulous.

Center of balance (horse)
In horsemanship, center of balance of a horse is a position on the horse's back which correlates closely to the center of gravity of the horse itself. The term may also refer to the horse's center of gravity as well.
For the best performance by the horse, as well as for better balance of the rider, the rider must be positioned over the center of balance of the horse. The location of the horse's center of balance depends on a combination of speed and degree of collection. For a standing or quietly walking horse, it is slightly behind the heart girth and below the withers. If a horse is moving at a trot or canter, the center of balance shifts slightly forward, and it moves even more forward when the horse is galloping or jumping. If a horse is highly collected, the center of balance will be farther back, regardless of gait, than if the horse is in an extended frame. For movements such as a rein back or the levade, the center of balance of horse and rider may be further back than at a standstill, due to the shift of weight and balance to the hindquarters of the horse
Accordingly, a saddle designed for a specific discipline will attempt to place a rider naturally at the most suitable position for the anticipated activity of the horse.[1] For example, a "close contact" style of English saddle, designed for show jumping, places the rider's seat farther forward than does a dressage style English saddle.

The distinguished biographer, novelist, and memoirist Edmund White brings his literary mastery to a new biography of Arthur Rimbaud.
Poet and prodigy Arthur Rimbaud led a life that was startlingly short, but just as dramatically eventful and accomplished. Even today, over a century after his death in 1891, his visionary poetry has continued to influence everyone from Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan to Patti Smith. His long poem A Season in Hell (1873) and his collection Illuminations (1886) are essential to the modern canon, marked by a hallucinatory and hypnotic style that defined the Symbolist movement in poetry. Having sworn off writing at the age of twenty-one, Rimbaud drifted around the world from scheme to scheme, ultimately dying from an infection contracted while running guns in Africa. He was 37.
Edmund White writes with a historian's eye for detail, driven by a genuine personal investment in his subject. White delves deep into the young poet's relationships with his family, his teachers, and his notorious affair with the more established poet Paul Verlaine. He follows the often elusive (sometimes blatant) threads of sexual taboo that haunt Rimbaud's poems (in those days, sodomy was a crime) and offers incisive interpretations of the poems, using his own artful translations to bring us closer to the mercurial poet.

The unfolding story of a wild young man
Paul Verlaine as the lover
Arriving in Paris penniless and with ill-fitting clothes
Rebel Yell
Edmund White reveals the complexity and uniqueness of Rimbaud's poetry and character
"Superficial, no clarity of point of view"
Although the complexities of these two artists' work and relationship are compelling, this writer lacks any deep dramatic, psychological, social, or storytelling thrust.
A more energetic and focussed narfrative.
Not as written, and it was, with Leonardo di Caprio.
White is not my favorite author, evidently. lol
"An excelent book disasterously read"
A fascinating story about a great figure and era. The editor should be publicly slapped for choosing a reader who is incapable of correctly pronouncing a single French name or term. Painful to listen to.
Arthur Rimbaud is a fascinating historical character.
A disaster; incapable of correctly the many French names and terms. Painful to listen to.

The Legacy Difference
Legacy was the first to apply fabric to a rigid steel frame allowing for expanded design capabilities. Our patented fabric attachment system elevated the industry in safety, quality and customer satisfaction.
Legacy buildings are custom engineered, each designed using complex and proven software and verified with manual quality checks. All buildings meet or exceed CSA S16 and CSA S136 standards and are stamped by a licensed engineer.
Before You Buy
Legacy manages every step of the process, including pre- and post-construction, design, engineering and installation. Through open communication and a true partnership, our experienced team will add value to any construction project.
Industry Advantages
Legacy fabric structures have lower life cycle costs than traditional structures. Fast-track construction saves time and money up front. Natural light inside the building saves on ongoing energy costs.
Health and Safety
Jobsite and building safety are of paramount importance. Legacy's construction specialists adhere to industry best practices and applicable occupational health and safety regulations and codes.
Completed Projects
Looking for design inspiration? Peruse our portfolio of completed projects that range from simple free span shelters to complex structures designed for highly specialized applications.

Streamlined design and fast-track construction reduce the risk of costly change orders due to intense design and accommodate last-minute owner-appointed change orders as needed.
Quality Initiatives
Legacy Building Solutions® has achieved CSA A660-10 and ISO 9001:2008 certification. Legacy's commitment to quality and continuous improvement includes partnering with our customers and vendors to exceed expectations.
Canada's Custom Tension Fabric Building Leader
Legacy Building Solutions designs, manufactures, engineers and installs custom fabric structures. We were the first to apply fabric to a rigid steel frame allowing for expanded design capabilities. Our patented fabric attachment system elevated the industry in safety, quality and customer satisfaction.
Legacy offers fast-track construction, concept to post-construction project management and service. Certified by ISO 9001:2008 and CSA 660, our commitment to quality and our customers is evident as you work with our experienced team.
Legacy's fabric structures on a solid steel frame are less susceptible to corrosion than fabric structures using open-web truss systems. With solid steel frames, there are no hollow tubes where corrosion can begin undetected – by the time you can notice corrosion that began inside a hollow tube member, it's too late to repair the damage. The best way to prevent corrosion to the building frame is by hot dip galvanizing the frame and all steel members. Hot dip galvanizing (HDG) permanently bonds an even layer of zinc to the steel to protect the steel from the elements and prevent corrosion.
Legacy's design-build team works with the customer to understand and solve your problems. We are with you every step of the way to understand how you do business and create the most efficient fabric structure for your needs. Full construction methodology simplifies the process by providing one point of contact and a faster construction schedule.
Rigid frame engineering allows us to create buildings exactly to project specs, including size, shape and optional features. Each engineered building is a high-quality, rust-resistant structure designed for decades of worry-free use. Legacy buildings regularly outperform not only hollow tube structures but also steel or wood buildings.
Solid frame buildings use the same proven design principles as traditional construction. Our unique attachment system relies on individual fabric panels each attached to the frame, as opposed to many competitors who attach one large piece of fabric only at the ends and bottom of the building. These monocovers are vulnerable to tearing or detaching completely, especially during extreme weather.
Each building is engineered to meet or exceed local codes and regulations for snow, wind and seismic load, as well as hanging loads applied by cranes, conveyors and other accessories.
A proven benefit of fabric structures is their ability to use natural light inside the structure, saving on the costs and maintenance of artificial lighting systems. Uninsulated fabric structures have up to 12% translucency, providing plenty of illumination for daytime work. There are no dark corners, and the interior atmosphere is more pleasant and natural.
Fabric is also a non-conductive building material, better holding the inside temperature rather than magnifying the outside conditions. Inside a fabric structure feels warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, even before adding insulation and heating and air conditioning systems.
Keeping people and assets protected from the elements is an important function of any building. Water management systems include canopies, gutters, overhangs, downspouts and our exclusive icebreakers that are designed to break up large chunks of ice and snow before they slide off the roof and strike the ground.
Ventilation options including mesh soffits, roof exhaust vents and endwall panels allow fresh air to flow into the building while keeping other elements and pests out.

Wildfire triggers evacuation for Los Alamos lab
By Zelie Pollon
SANTA FE, N.M., June 26 (Reuters) - Voluntary evacuations have been issued for Los Alamos, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, threatened by a fast-moving wildfire that broke out in northern New Mexico on Sunday, authorities said.
The Las Conchas Fire flared early Sunday afternoon around 12 miles southwest of Los Alamos, charring about 3,500 acres and endangering the nation's nuclear weapons laboratory and its surrounding communities, said Lawrence Lujan, a spokesman for the Santa Fe National Forest.
"We have homes and we have the labs, so it's a very, very big concern, not only locally but nationally and globally," Lujan said. "This fire is very complex. We have a national type one team coming in because of the nature of the fire."
New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez has ordered the New Mexico National Guard to Los Alamos to provide support for the ongoing efforts to protect lives, property and critical infrastructure threatened by the fire.
"My administration will make every effort to provide support for local emergency response crews," said Governor Martinez.
The blaze continued to throw flames a half mile ahead of the fire pushed by high winds and hot dry conditions.
Bandelier National Monument has been evacuated, as have the communities of Cochiti Mesa and Las Conchas. Voluntary evacuations have been issued for Los Alamos and nearby community White Rock.
Jeff Berger, a spokesman for the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where the world's first atomic bomb was developed, said the fire was rapidly advancing but had not yet reached lab property. Continued...
