In a mutually beneficial partnership, Princeton students are helping a local organization reduce its impact on the environment as they strengthen their problem-solving skills and build a stronger connection to the community.
Archive – April 2007
Princeton Engineering has established a new student group: the Wesley L. Harris Scientific Society, an organization devoted to encourage students from communities that are underrepresented in the sciences to pursue research careers.
The National Ground Water Association has chosen Michael Celia as the 2008 Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecturer. The prestigious honor supports the travel of one expert to share his or her work in lectures at universities throughout the world.

Tiny particles filled with medicine may also contain answers to some of the biggest human health problems, including cancer and tuberculosis. The secret is the size of the package. A team led by Robert Prud'homme, professor of chemical engineering and director of the Program in Engineering Biology, created the particles, which are only 100 to 300 nanometers wide -- more than 100 times thinner than a human hair.
Two of the world's worst natural disasters in recent years stemmed from different causes on opposite sides of the globe, but actually had much in common, according to researchers who are part of a large National Science Foundation-funded research initiative that has been studying both the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 and the Hurricane Katrina of 2005.

Fox Continues To Push Discredited Argument That 14th Amendment Does Not Protect Birthright Citizenship
Blog ››› ››› ADAM SHAH
Earlier today, we documented how Fox News' Megyn Kelly and Peter Johnson Jr. (both attorneys) twisted the facts to claim that the Fourteenth Amendment was not meant to provide citizenship to children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants. Not to be outdone, Fox's Bill O'Reilly claimed that "the Constitution is being misused" by parents of so-called "anchor babies."
Why Fox chose today to return to their attacks on these immigrant children is unclear.
But credible scholars, including conservative scholars, continue to debunk their argument. Yesterday, James Ho, a former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas and aide to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), penned a Wall Street Journal op-ed stating that the children born in the United States are citizens even if their parents were not legally present in the country. Indeed, Ho says "[t]he plain meaning of this language is clear" that these people are citizens.
And Ho isn't some lone conservative legal scholar bucking the rest of the movement. Libertarian-conservative law professor Eugene Volokh stated that as a matter of policy "I think that children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens or legal alien tourists should in principle not automatically get U.S. citizenship as a result." But Volokh also said: "My sense is that [Ho] is quite correct on the constitutional question."
And Freshman Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO) told Chris Matthews today that birthright citizenship is "a settled question. They're American citizens":

This is the rolling carry-on that can be rolled from curb to airline aisle, then placed under the seat in front of you. Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, the carry-on is only 15" tall with the handle retracted, ensuring unobtrusive storage under most airline seats. Despite its compact size, the carry-on has two side pockets and a 14 1/2" x 11 3/4" main compartment for storing a weekend's worth of clothes. A padded front pocket holds up to a 13" laptop or tablet, and the top compartment can be unzipped to expand an extra 3". Ballistic nylon case with self-mending zippers and inline skate wheels. 15" H x 16" W x 10" D. (7 1/2 lbs.)

Great No-Checked-Bags Travel System
By Susan
from Tennessee
I am a 70 year old woman, and for my 2-week trip to Greece I do not want to check luggage but neither to I want to heft a suitcase over my head into a luggage compartment. My solution? An under-seater in which heaver things, small purse, and flight needs are packed, together with a roomy carry-on bag, in which lighter clothing is packed, that I can easily raise over my head into the airplane baggage compartment. This well-framed under-seater has a flat platform zip compartment on top that "seats" my carry-on bag perfectly (unlike most under-seaters). The two bags work splendidly together for a person who likes to travel in inconspicuous simple, elegant style. To receive 5 stars, this underseater needs to eliminate the net holders inside the main compartment for smooth unobstructed packing. The padded computer compartment on the front face of the bag will not hold my computer, but the inside compartment does.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best bag ever!
By Susie
from Detroit
I am a flight attendant and this bag does it all. It fits more than most bags because the handle is mounted outside and it fits under the seat if necessary. Great bag!

Recommend, BUT...
By BadBack Traveller
from Quincy, California
My first trip unable to put under aisle seat. Does fit under middle seat but prefer aisle seating. Easy access to laptop only from front compartment. Top compartment too narrow & shallow for much use. Structurally feels flimsy. Ex. cannot secure backpack atop it. Will see how it holds up with future use.Hope it proves sturdy enough because I like the convenience of underseat storage & important since I have back problems.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Please remember that we back our merchandise with a lifetime guarantee. Should you ever find that an item doesn't perform to your satisfaction, our customer service team is available at 1-800-321-1484 to assist you with returning it.

OK Quality
By mkant
from Las Vegas, NV
I pack minimally for trips, taking a small carry-on. This looked small enough to work and seems to be one of the few small carry-ons that opens fully, making clothing easy to access. But the quality of construction does not seem to be up to Hammacher Schlemmer's standards. The zipper gets stuck or skips over some teeth. The exterior pockets on the sides are very small, barely big enough for some documents and little more. The quality of the fabric exterior doesn't strike me as very durable -- we'll see how long this luggage lasts.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It's so good, I bought my husband one!
By Zee
from Metro Atlanta, Georgia
I use it for overnight or weekend getaways. It's great on plane trips. The extended pull handle accommodates an extra large personal pocketbook or tote bag, allowing it to rest on top of carry on. When I first bought mine, it did fit under seat. Unfortunately, through the years, airlines have reduced seat sizes. I am unable to reach overhead bin, but there's always someone offering a hand. Perhaps, if you do not use any of its exterior compartments or expanded top, it may just fit under seat.

`Doesn't fit under seat on all airplanes
By Adie
from Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada
Because this doesn't serve the purpose I purchased it for, I wish to return it. The case itself is great but I wasn't allowed to put it under the seat!
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Please call our 24-hour customer service hotline at 1-800-321-1484 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.
By betart
from Neptune, NJ
This is an excellent carry on. The wheels are sturdy and makes it easy to maneuver throughout airports and escalators. It has plenty of room for some clothes or camera, etc. Lots of pockets for Ipad, passport, etc. And, it fits under the seat planes. It is sturdy, well made and even comes with a shoulder strap. It is also a great carry on bag for a cruise, ie: small, easy to maneuver and you can use the shoulder strap to carry on the ship, until your state room is available. And, it's perfect for an overnight adventure. I love it. BUY IT. DON'T HESITATE! DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY NEGATIVE REVIEWS. IF YOU CAN'T FIT A NIGHT OR TWO'S WORTH OF CLOTHING, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PACK.

More than just a weekend bag
By Robbie from NYC
from New York NY
Took it on a weekend trip to San Antonio. With the weather different between there and my native New York, the expanding compartment held my winter sweater just fine. When it was for to come back, it held my souvenirs just fine. With the expansion open or closed, it fit perfectly under the seat in front of me with no problems.

What i didnt see was the ability to reply to text messages from the lock screen or where ever, which is why im still not sold
Yes - old IntelliScreen paid customers will be able to upgrade to IntelliScreenX for a discounted price of $7.99 (people who have purchased in the last 30 days will receive a free upgrade). IntelliScreenX will be $9.99 (and free trial of course) for new users. Yes - we have a reply from lockscreen solution called Messages+ which integrates perfectly into IntelliScreenX. It's separate as it doesn't really fit into that code base and we spent a lot of time (we'll have a beta for Messages+ this next week). (It's a renamed Tlert and a redone Tlert for iOS5). Messages+ will be a free upgrade for Tlert. (New users is $7.99 + free trial)
Amazing app! I don't want to be that guy that add's my two cents when a developer comes out with a tweak as great as this...however, is there any possible chance that they could add a quick reply for texts or iMessages into the notification center? It's the one thing Apple has yet to add that I can't believe they've put off for this long. Either way I'm spending the money for this...it's well worth it. Just would be that much better with quick reply built in! It'd be your one stop tweak shop!!!
well I already own lockinfo so I'l wait and see what David is putting together. If his is less impressive, I'll buy this one.
I don't know, it seems like some of that starts to circumvent the purpose of having a lock screen, i.e. to prevent unwanted data entry without your knowledge. It seems like that becomes more and more of a possibility the easier you make it to do stuff directly on the lock screen without actually going to the springboard.
Am I the only one who see this as a possible issue with all the lock screen tweaks?
Since the new IntelliscreenX would be the same price as now. I will buy Intelliscreen today and would wait for intelliscreenX to come out. Since it is a beta this week, would it be on cydia or some beta repo of Intelliborn? If so what is the repo to be added?
My logic may be flawed, but... I purchased IntelliScreen for $10 (though I think it was more, don't remember exactly), since I can no longer use this product, I need to shell out another $8. That's $18 they are getting from me, and only $10 from new users. If I want to continue to use this product, I NEED to pay another $8, as I can no longer use the product I originally paid for. Yes, I do realize I have been using this product, thus getting my money's worth, but, still I think they would have cut existing customers more of a break than $2. And, it's not about being cheap. A beer + tip will cost me more... but, it's the principal. Not good customer service IMHO.
Also, as pointed out in the YouTube video, just like sliding to unlock the device, you still need to slide down from the status bar with IntelliScreen(X) just to access the info. LockInfo for 4.x and older is integrated directly into the lockscreen.
I believe there isn't a concern with falsely inputing information with IntelliScreen(X). This will be a definite must when it is released.

"My story may not be what you're looking for, but it never hurts to give it a shot," Grace Soares of Torrance emails me.
No, it never does. And, yes, her story is what I'm looking for today.
Another Mother's Day is coming up in a few days, and I wanted to write a column paying my respects to all the women out there who have the toughest job in America.
Single, working moms living on a shoestring budget -- going to bed every night worrying about their jobs, paying the bills, and, most of all, those kids sleeping in the next bedroom.
That's how Grace's mom, Sonia Freitas, would have gone to bed every night, IF she had gone to bed. Which she didn't. She just didn't have the time.
She was a financially struggling, single mom working three jobs to provide for her six kids - teaching them all along the way that no country in the world gives you a shot like this country does - whether you were born here or not.
Sonia was born in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, in 1934. Her family had money. Big money. She grew up in a mansion with maids. Her wedding dress was flown in from Paris. Her honeymoon gift was a blank check.
Her father owned entire city blocks in Rio. What he didn't own was his gambling habit. He lost every penny he had.
His daughter went from having cleaning ladies to becoming one.
By 1972, with two failed marriages behind her, she was living in a rented, two-bedroom, one-bath house for $135 a month in Redondo Beach with her four daughters and two sons.
She worked the graveyard shift on the line at the Max Factor Cosmetics factory, getting home at 4 a.m., and sewing dresses she hoped to sell until dawn. Then she'd get her kids ready for school.
"Every morning we'd wake up to the sound of her sewing machine," Grace says. "We each had 15 minutes in the bathroom. It was pretty hectic, but Mom always found something to make us laugh, no matter how tired she was.
"I don't remember ever seeing my mother sleep. "
After dropping her kids off at school, Sonia would go home and nap for a few hours before heading off to clean the homes of wealthy people living on Palos Verdes Peninsula.
In those early morning hours while she sewed, Sonia also studied -- teaching herself what Grace calls "Ricky Ricardo" English. Soon, she knew enough to pass the test to become a U.S. citizen with all the rights that came with it.
Including getting help from her new country that was giving Sonia and her kids a shot at a better life. No guarantees. Just a shot.
"Mom wouldn't take government assistance, ever," Grace says. "She was never afraid to work. "
Those wealthy clients Sonia had up on The Hill noticed. They began telling their friends about their cleaning lady from Brazil who used to be rich -- working three jobs now to support her kids.
Before long, she quit Max Factor and had enough cleaning jobs lined up to open her own business, "Sonia's Cleaning."
Most of the women she hired to help her had something in common with the boss. They were single moms struggling to support their families, too.
Sonia felt that when you start to make it, it was only right to reach behind you and give the next person a hand up.
"Every holiday our home was crammed with moms and their kids who had no place else to go," Grace says. "She'd tell them 'Please, come be with us.' I still get letters from the people my mom touched, telling me how much they still miss her."
Sonia Freitas was 57 when she died of malignant melanoma in 1991. She never had the chance -- or the time away from work -- to write that little love letter she wanted to write to her adopted country, thanking it.
This will have to do.
"My mother always said her story couldn't have happened anywhere but the USA," Grace says.
She's right, of course. We all know it, no matter how much we may grumble.
No country in the world gives you a shot like this country -- whether you were born here or not.
From Sonia Freitas -- Happy Single Moms Day.
Dennis McCarthy appears on Fridays. He can be reached at email@example.com.

A 20 meter statue of Jesus Christ has been struck by lightning.* It was made of plastic foam* and fiberglass* over a steel* frame. Everything but the frame was completely burned.
The statue was completed in 2004 and stood in front of the evangelical Solid Rock Church in southern Ohio, USA. It was clearly visible from the freeway.
On the one hand, that brought a lot of visitors to the 4,000 member church which was founded* by former* horse trader Lawrence Bishop and his wife. On the other hand, the statue was widely ridiculed* and earned many humorous nicknames from passing* motorists.
It was called Touchdown Jesus, because the arms were upraised*, similar to a referee's* signal for a touchdown* in American football, Swamp Jesus because it appeared to be rising out of the churches baptismal pool, and Big Butter Jesus because of its yellowish color.

Risk Taking Leads to High-Resolution World of Biophotonics
James Fitzpatrick considers himself a risk-taker. An optical engineer with a background in chemical physics, he has a tendency to gravitate toward all things "death-defying."
On a personal level , he is not drawn to safe pursuits. He nearly drowned after falling overboard while rafting on a class IV river in Pennsylvania. He does not shy away from treacherous cliff-top hikes like those in Bryce Canyon, Utah. And now that he's moved to San Diego to direct the Salk's Biophotonics Core Facility, Fitzpatrick can be found zipping around town, the pedal to the metal in his turbo-charged Subaru Impreza WRX, just like the World Rally Championship heroes he admits to obsessively follow on television.
"I spend a lot of my time devoted to science so when I do get the chance to relax I like to tear it up a little bit," he jokes.
For this adrenaline junkie, who grew up outside of London and earned his Ph.D. at age 23, his penchant for doing the boldly non-traditional is what eventually led Fitzpatrick to a career in biophotonics, the science of applying photon-based microscopy to biology. And for that, he credits Harry Potter -- the fictional boy wizard made famous in the popular children's book series.
"At first I didn't want to read the books, I thought it was complete rubbish, but there's something about the writing. There's something there for children and for adults," explains Fitzpatrick, who read the first Harry Potter book when he was in graduate school developing optical techniques to probe diatomic molecules at ultra-high resolution.
"It taught me that sometimes you shouldn't judge a book by its intended audience, and that I should think about pushing myself to do things outside of my comfort zone."
That was about the time Fitzpatrick started white-water rafting. But it was also when he started thinking about applying his own laser optics wizardry to biological systems. "There's only so much you can look at in two or three atom molecules. It tends to get a bit boring after a while," he says.
He applied his laser-based techniques to probe proteins and their interactions at Carnegie Mellon University, where he was invited in 2006 to develop fluorescence correlation microscopy technology in the new NIH Technology Center for Networks and Pathways. He was eventually promoted to direct the Microscopy and Imaging Facility at the Center.
"I found myself energized by all these biological problems and there were so many opportunities for technological approaches to solve those questions," Fitzpatrick says. "Most biologists really didn't know about imaging methods or how we could integrate the technology and the biology in order to get a more robust answer in a quicker timeframe."
Salk's biophotonics initiative was funded in 2008 with a $20 million challenge grant by the Waitt Family Foundation, an organization led by its president and founder Ted Waitt, who is also Vice-Chair of Salk's Board of Trustees. The grant not only launched the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Center, but it is also is helping to usher in what Fitzpatrick says will ensure the next generation of biological breakthroughs at the Institute.
Using laser-based imaging technology that facilitates deep probes within living cells and tissues at unprecedented resolutions, scientists are now able to view the interactions of single molecules. To put the power of biophotonics in perspective, an average, off-the-shelf light microscope can zoom in on the surface of a cell (about half the diameter of single strand of human hair), but microscopes in the Biophotonics Core Facility can dive deep within single components of that cell to study how they interact with one another in their healthy and diseased states.
Ultimately, the goal is to make and study movies of these interactions so scientists can better understand the inner workings of cells, and how they relate to the functionality of the entire body.
"Starting from the ground up and building working models of how living organisms function and how they are impaired during human disease is key," Fitzpatrick says. "Cutting-edge, technological approaches in imaging will really help to facilitate all areas of research at Salk, including cancer, aging, obesity and neurodegenerative disease.
"Problems that people wouldn't necessarily think about tackling because they may not have had the technology to do so, we can now help to make happen," he says. "And that's really what makes the biophotonics initiative transformative."

Hi fnord0,
good notice.....
- I have not tried with the "rt2800usb" driver, but only with "rt2870sta". (apocolipso)
- When I use macchanger shows the NEW mac correctly. (the card is in "down" mode)
- But when I recall in "UP" the interface with "ifconfig" command, is changed again with the default MAC.
- Today, I try to test with the rt2800usb driver.
Thanks for prompt reply, Jano

As much as some people like to believe cliques do not exist in schools anymore, well, you're wrong.
In my school there were athletes/cheerleaders, drama kids, band kids, choir kids, stoners and kids who did drugs, nerds, and just "regular" kids who didn't fit into any stereotype.
What were you? BTW the band thread made me think of this.
I was a drama kid (lighting technician!) and in drama Presidency, and kind of a nerd. I took as many college classes as I could in high school. :o
I loved theatre, even though a lot of the school thought we were "uncool" we didn't care. We had our own world, literally, that no one else had in the school. We had an entire wing of the school. Many of us had 3/5 classes involving drama. Sometimes for a trimester we would have all five classes involving drama and fucking lived over there. We had a loft above the main theatre room. It was kind of the shit.
How all my classes you ask? Well once you were a Senior and in Presidency (after doing all your required school classes) you could take or retake any of the drama classes you wanted. We had Intro to Tech Theatre, Advanced Tech Theatre, Drama 2, Productions (which was like the high level drama class) and then that same teacher taught a class about movie production.; Guess what my last part of Senior year was like. :/ Anyways...about you now.
What were you? Did your school have stereotypes? And what is it really like? Is it different than the "stereotype" out there?

Nicholas Zakas wrote this little ditty:isMedia()
So people have thought it would be cool to have certain scripts only run based on whether the browser is loading a certain stylesheet based on media type.
What this doesn't do is stop someone whose media is "handheld" from downloading some ginormous script... just means the script will check first to see if it should run.
Still, this is a nice added bit of flexibility without going to the serverside (where we were first checking the user agent string and then determining which scripts to add to the page).
Looks interesting, but I don't really get how that works or what it's for. Is there a page somewhere that explains it a bit more?
Not that I know of, he was tweeting about it : )
But, say you have a function that colours widgets. Everyone with JS enabled gets coloured widgets.
Now say you only wanted users with the regular "screen" media to get coloured widgets, while those with a media query of max-width: 320px don't run that function and don't get the funky coloured widgets (they get whatever you have when that function doesn't run).
Or suppose Javascript is adding social garbage icons to somewhere on your page. But when the screen is like 320px wide, there's no room for the stupid popups that appear with forms in them (searchThis, I'm looking at you and your garbage HTML and garbage popups). So your other function that would run instead (because it returns true that the stylesheet-for-320px-devices was loaded) creates instead some links that go to other pages with the forms and no popups appear if the user manages to mouse over them or tap them once by accident. (yeah this all depends on whether you build for mobile first and then layer on the larger screen device widths, or do it the other way around)
So this isMedia() function is only checking to see IF a stylesheet was loaded, which would only happen if a user agent understands the query to that media type (the UA must know what max-width: 320px means or they won't load that stylesheet anyway). So you can decide if different functions run.
That's pretty interesting.
I think for overall functionality (whether it needs the script at all or not), that's probably better left to server-side (to prevent a large script from needlessly being sent).
However, for switching up a function (so using functionA for screen and functionB for handheld) would make this very handy.
This is one of those things which has a fairly limited use, but when you did hit one of those it's nice to have in your toolbox.
You could use it to detect whether to download a massive script if you used a dynmic script tag generation function
Why should the server know about the screen res?
It's also a tiny script.
What this doesn't do is stop someone whose media is "handheld" from downloading some ginormous script
It could, You just can't load all of your scripts the usual way with <script></script>. e.g.
function require(path) {
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'+path+'"><\\/script>');
} catch(e) {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = path;
if (isMedia("screen and (max-width:800px)"){
else {
Edit: As Stormrider said ^
The script looks really useful.It reminds me a lot of @JimmyP's ie detection script http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/detect-ie-in-js-using-conditional-comments/Injecting html into the doc to test support for a feature.
I love how these different patterns give people inspiration to think outside the square.The same thing happened with the Module Pattern.
It inserts a div that's positioned off screen as well as a style block.Then tests if the style block with your media query is effecting the position of the div.
So it's a way of testing if a browser is meeting the @media query.It could be used for loading different scripts, enabling / disabling functionality on smaller screens.
It would stop large scripts from loading unnecessarily if you used it properly.
That seems to work in with what is apparently the latest technique to use these days. That is, to presume a mobile browsing device, and then to progressively enhance from there.
It could, You just can't load all of your scripts the usual way with <script></script>...
Ah neat, I've not used dynamic script-calling at all yet.
I also hadn't thought of JS adding the detection div— I was thinking, just look at some element who gets style x with media-query Y, but generating an element makes more sense, since then the script doesn't have to care what the HTML or design of the page is... could be added anywhere.
There is of course the fact that small screen != small bandwidth necessarily... but if the site is working for everyone anyway this isn't a big issue for me, and most of the people who would be using my sites via a mobile would indeed be on crappy/public/busy internets. They've recently made the train line nearest me all free Wi-Fi now : ) I doubt it's terribly fast though.
That is, to presume a mobile browsing device, and then to progressively enhance from there.
I've been doing this but it does leave a problem for mobile IE's. They get the GinormousDesktop.css no matter what : )

I'm trying to configure my BackTrack to collect gps data from my phone. I can connect my phone with laptop by using usb only because I have installed BT inside VMware and I can't use internal laptop bluetooth inside VM, nor I have usb bluetooth device. If i had I could have used wdrive script.
I tried to configure through USB, following this guide .
I executed the script mentioned in this guide after installing adb (android-sdk_r21.0.1-linux.tgz)
Then I edited /usr/local/bin/kismet /usr/local/etc/kismet.conf --> gpsdevice=/dev/ttyUSB0
At this point, I have a doubt. Is it possible that the correct usb port is USB1 or 2 instead of USB0.
After that I executed :
#gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0
and then opened kismet :
Kismet is able to detect wifi AP as usual but is not receiving any data from gpsd, showing error - No updates from gpsd in 15 secs, attempting to reconnect.
Please help me out!

FCPS Seek Tips on Fatal Auto Accident
On Sept. 26 at about 10:48 p.m., Fort Collins Police Services was notified of an injury collision on Prospect Rd. east of Shields St. When officers arrived, they found a Dodge Neon sedan stopped in the 800 block of West Prospect Rd. A Ford Crown Victoria sedan was discovered several houses west of the Neon in a front yard. Both vehicles were heavily damaged.
From witness interviews, police believe the Neon was stopped facing westbound in the left through lane of Prospect Rd. at Prospect Lane preparing to make a left turn. The Crown Victoria was traveling west on Prospect Rd. at a high rate of speed and collided with the rear of the Neon. After colliding with the Neon, the Crown Victoria continued off the right side of the roadway, through two yards, and collided with a tree.
The driver of the Neon, Emma Kimball, 22, a resident of Fruita and student at Colorado State University, was transported to Medical Center of the Rockies via ambulance for treatment of moderate injuries. Her passenger, Sanaz Ghajarrahimi, 27, of Foster City, California, was airlifted to Medical Center of the Rockies with serious injuries. Both occupants were extricated from the Neon by Poudre Fire Authority.
The driver of the Crown Victoria, Michael Dziendziel, 42, of Fort Collins, was pronounced dead at the scene. The manner and cause of his death will be released by the Larimer County Coroner's Office.
Prospect Rd. was closed between Sheeley Dr. and Centre Ave. for approximately 9 hours while investigators processed the scene. Police believe speed contributed to the collision and are working to determine if Dziendziel was driving under the influence of alcohol. The investigation is continuing.
Anyone with information about the collision, who has not already given a statement to police, is asked to contact Officer Drew Jurkofsky at 970-221-6555.

Did you know that if you are breaking out on your forehead- it's USUALLY a problem with your digestion?? Weird, right? And remember, breakouts around your mouth are hormonal.
I know a lot of you are scared of makeup, of taking risks, but remember- it's just makeup! It washes right off! It's not like chopping your hair, getting a tattoo, or a piercing. So experiment! Be brave enough to wear that red lipstick you've been eyeing!
I'm sure you've all seen contouring pictures floating around the web:
BUT- did you know that this is a general guidline and may not be suited for your face shape?? Contouring should be specific to you and your face shape. Round, Square, Heart/ Triangle, Oval, Oblong, nose shape, eye shape, space between your eyes, etc.
To get thicker looking lashes- layer your mascara on while it's wet.
If your eyes are the windows to the soul, then eyebrows are the frame. They need a lot of care.
When testing foundation and concealers, test them on your face (around the jawline is a good place). Most people test it on their arm, but your skin is not the same color on your face as it is on your arm.
To find your natural coloring (to know what types of colors look best on you) look at the inside of your arms, natural hair color, eye color, and you can also hold different color tones (red- cool and warm, silver, and gold are great options.) up to your face. That will tell you if you're more suitable for warm or cool tones, or if you're neutral and need something in between. (I'm a neutral, but my classmates liked the warm tones on me better which surprised me)
Do you know what the Fitzpatrick Scale is? It's a way to figure out your tolerance to sun exposure. There are 6 levels and Mirabella actually provides a way to find out what YOUR type is!
This last tip isn't exactly esthetics based, but it was one that the owner/ director/ business class teacher shared with us that kind of clicked w me:
Think of your brain like a computer- When you write things down it's as if you're saving the programs you've been working on and keeping them for when you need them. When you just keep them in your head it's as if you're keeping all of those programs open, constantly saving them (thinking about them so you don't forget), and worrying that you'll "lose the project" (forget). So write things down, keep a to-do list, plan out your week. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.
P.S. Be sure to enter the March Group Giveaway!! The Lucky winners will be announced Sunday!

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Sam Bradford is the poster child for passing on NCAA eligibility for the NFL.
The Oklahoma quarterback returned to college this season despite being projected as the No. 1 overall draft pick last year. He was injured early this fall and missed most of the campaign.
"You have to consider what are the risks and rewards of coming back," Iowa Tackle Bryan Bulaga said here Saturday morning. "Sam Bradford is a very good example. He probably would have been the No. 1 pick. He gets hurt and now who knows?
"He's going to come to the combine and try to prove that he's still a good player because he is. But those kinds of things get into the minds of NFL GMs. This guy just got hurt. Am I getting damaged goods? Those are things that need to go through your mind."
Speculation has swirled around Bulaga all season that he might skip his senior season for the draft this spring. He filed the NFL paper work last month and said he'll announce his decision after Tuesday night's Orange Bowl.
Fellow Iowa offensive lineman Dace Richardson also is faced with the college-pro choice. The fifth-year senior could petition the NCAA for a sixth season and most likely get it.
"I talked to Coach (Kirk) Ferentz," Richardson said. "We both feel like we're going to have a good team next year. I just feel like some of my goals that I had for this season I didn't accomplish. That's probably one of the things that would get me to come back, playing in the Rose Bowl and playing my senior game."
Then come the thoughts of Bradford.
"I also have to be smart about it, too," Richardson said. "I also have an opportunity to play at the next level. Even though I was hurt, people are still interested. I have to weigh that factor in, too.
"I always think of Sam Bradford. He came back for another year and then got hurt. That's a possibility. Do I want to risk being hurt and losing out on an opportunity? So, I just have to weigh all of those things in."
Based on Saturday morning's interviews, seeing their mannerisms and eyes, I would say that Richardson is leaning towards a sixth year and Bulaga is an NFL lean.
"There has been nothing better than Iowa football for the last three years," Bulaga said. "The fans have been great. The coaches have been great. The guys are great.
"You come here and you're thinking in the back of your mind four or five years is how long you're going to be here. You love the place. You love what it's all about. I think anytime you leave a place like this, you're going to miss it.
"If I were to leave, yeah, you miss it, but you're looking out for your best interests. Coach Ferentz knows that. Everyone knows that. Guys know that. Whatever decision I make, I'll have full support from both of them. It's good to know that."
Speculation began with Bulaga last spring when ESPN Draft Analyst Mel Kiper Jr. projected the Illinois native as a Top 10 pick in the NFL selection process. Kiper has since dropped Iowa's left tackle to No. 2 at his position among players in his class.
Todd McShay, also of ESPN, ranks Bulaga at No. 29 overall in his Top 100. Ferentz, who coached in the NFL, cautioned people last month that the "gurus" projections often are inaccurate.
"When you're thinking about leaving, there are pros and cons to each thing," Bulaga said. "Coming back is obviously the injury. More than ever now, guys are getting hurt and getting hurt to the point of "Hey, I might not even be ready for next season, full go, let alone being able to go for a combine or something like that in April."
"There's a chance that I could blow out my knee and be a half of step slower. You can't have that kind of stuff. I was already at a point in my career earlier this year with the thyroid scare. No one really knew what it was early on. We couldn't figure it out. For a couple of minutes you think, God, am I going to be able to play football again?
"You have to consider all of those things because any of those things can happen tomorrow. It could happen the next day. It can happen whenever. It can happen when you're crossing the street. It could happen going to Subway getting something to eat. So, it's something you have to consider."
The Richardson and Bulaga families have been very involved in the decision process. Dace said that he had aunts and uncles encouraging him to leave, but other members of his clan that wanted him to return.
"I already registered for classes for next semester," Richardson said. "Everything is set up so if I want to come back I'll have a smooth transition back."
Richardson felt strongly that the NCAA would award him with a sixth year. The Illinois native missed all but one game in '07 and '08 because of injuries.
"I still have to petition with the NCAA, but they feel like I have a good enough case where it should be a slam dunk," he said. "I'd be shocked if I didn't get it, but who knows?"
Bulaga said a thyroid condition that forced him out of action earlier this season will not factor into this decision. He gets his blood tested weekly and has been deemed to be healthy by doctors.
Robert Gallery played left tackle at Iowa early last decade. He decided to come back for his senior season despite speculation he might be a first round pick after his junior year. He ended up being the No. 2 overall pick after using up his college eligibility.
"I've been speaking to Robert, too," Bulaga said. "We've talked a couple of times already. He's a great guy. He's been giving me a lot of good information. Are there parallels? Yeah, I'm sure there's some stuff that's similar and there's some stuff that is different. When you get his side of it, it is actually very different from mine."
The cases seem similar outside of Bulaga being a true junior. Bulaga doesn't want to talk about the differences.
"That's not something I'm not going to say," Bulaga said. "He and I talk and that's just kind of…I'll leave it at that. But there are some big differences. He weighed in a lot of factors for me for pros and cons. He was able to give me both sides of the story. He's not working for one side or the other side. He's shooting me straight and how he thinks. I appreciate that from him. He's been great."
While weighing his options, Richardson wants to wipe out the memory of being carted onto the field for Senior Day in November.
"That definitely hurt that day coming out in a golf cart," he said. "I really wanted to be out there running.
"All the staff wants me back. They joke. They'll say, you see that nice car? You'll definitely have that if you stay one more year and get drafted. They've all been supportive. They all want me back. That's good to have, your coaches wanting you to come back for another year."

Cold Steel
Our president, Lynn Thompson bought the first knife that custom maker, Lloyd Pendleton ever made in 1973. Now the two friends have collaborated to produce two of Lloyd's most popular knives, we call them the Lloyd Pendleton Hunter and Mini Hunter.
In fabricating these knives, we have tried to duplicate Lloyd's work as accurately as possible. Both the Pendleton Hunter's hollow ground blade and the Mini Hunter's flat ground blade are honed to perfection. The handle's cross sections and contours match Lloyd's handmade knives exactly. For safety and durability, we have dispensed with leather in favor of Secure-Ex for the sheaths. This material won't rot or mildew and is far more resistant to cuts or punctures than leather.
Pendleton Custom Classic
Whether you're hunting the Big Five in Africa, Elk in Colorado, Moose and Bears in Alaska, or Whitetail deer in the North Forty, there aren't many things that will enhance your hunting experience more than carrying and using this superb custom-quality hunting knife. Our Pendleton Custom Classic is a handsome reproduction of Lloyd Pendleton's Drop Point Hunter. It has a 3 1/2" blade with a sharp yet sturdy point for piercing and a truly razor sharp edge with plenty of belly. Its hand crafted polished blade is hollow ground from 5 mm thick VG-1 San Mai III® blade construction and boasts state of the art vacuum heat treatment, a sub zero quench and multiple tempering. With its tapered full tang construction and extra stout "spine" it's virtually indestructible and, in a pinch, can double as a life saving survival knife. Lloyd's guard and integral bolster have been exactly duplicated. Precision machined from stainless steel and skillfully polished, it features a single short quillon and a unique "thumb print" on the bolster to help protect the fingers and allow any number of grip options. The handle is also a faithful copy of Lloyd's original. Featuring a red fiber liner that accents the tapered tang, and twin contoured handle scales made of highly polished black linen micarta with six stainless retaining pins. A heavy pouch style sheath is included. It's made from brown cowhide with a thick welt and sturdy stitching and is wet molded to fit each knife. It covers two thirds of the handle so your knife is held secure and won't "pop out" inadvertently.

O'Hara knew a lot more about the actual power struggles in Pottstown than I did about my environment.
What I saw, to which I bore witness, was domestic strife and confusion whereas O'Hara saw really a class-ridden society.
O'Hara has faded fast, but some of his best short stories are lode stars to me of what good fiction can do.
But on the other hand O'Hara had what Wallace Stevens, a native of that part of the world, called a willingness to celebrate.
"Don't you ever think O'Hara is going to give you up as easy as that," replied Sydney, laughing.
General O'Hara landed from the Victory with reinforcements for the garrison.
With his eyes resting quizzically on O'Hara's face, he took a delicate pinch of snuff and minced across the room.
"It seems that everybody have lost their senses," muttered O'Hara.
O'Hara's boyhood days were spent at Danville, but his family settled at Frankfort when he was a young man.
"I s'pose we've got to lay on our oars, as the sailors say, till daylight," said O'Hara.

A place for everything.
Packing the car on race day is always stressful, and a few choice phrases sometimes slip out that definitely shouldn't. If you can avoid actually having to turn back for a forgotten item, you'd consider it a fairly smooth day. If this sounds anything like you, Timbuk2's Race Duffel Bag seeks to redefine what you think of as a successful race morning.
Designed to be carried as either a duffel bag or a backpack, it has a divided main compartment to make organizing the many items you'll need on race day simple, so that when you open up the bag, you can see what you remembered to pack and what you still have to grab. The bag has a water-resistant TPU lining that can be easily taken out and cleaned after a few days of sweaty kits and muddy shoes, and the bottom is also water-resistant, so there's no need to worry about accidentally setting it down in a puddle or two.

- Size Bought: Medium
I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger. It has all the room I've ever needed and wanted. Great for traveling. Highly recommend this bag!
Useful space
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Every compartment in this bag has a purpose for your cycling gear. Adequate size for a day trip or two and a very nice minimalist feel to the bag. +1 for the water bottle pockets
I finally purchased this instead of using a a standard duffle bag. The center pocket is big enough to fit shoes, 2 kits, jacket, and other apparel. The slimmer end pocket is great for food and the other end pocket is extra deep for your helmet. The two bottle carriers are probably my favorite part. Well worth the money if you're constantly traveling to ride/race.
would it possible for you to post a pic with it filled with gear? Im really leaning on this bag since itll be used for my cycling/gym bag. what really attracts me to it are the backpack straps.

A drill/driver is to a tradesman what a six-shooter is to a gunslinger: a constant companion and everyday tool. So we tested the latest premium drill/drivers—18-volt models, because that's the most common battery platform; and brushless, because that type of motor represents the state of the art. For this article, I got ahold of the six brushless models available at the time of testing (the summer of 2013).
Size Wise
Brushless drill/drivers are relatively new and there is no standard size class. Different brands followed different paths to their latest models, so this test includes compact, mid-size, and full-size tools.
The DeWalt is the only compact; the Metabo and Milwaukee are full-sized brutes; and the Makita, Festool, and Hitachi (listed in increasing size order) fall somewhere in between. Makita's tool is a hammer drill/driver, so it is slightly outside of the test criteria, but we included it because it's the only brushless drill/driver that Makita sells in the U.S.
The capabilities of the tools are scaled to the size of their motors, gearboxes, and batteries, so this is not an apples-to-apples comparison. For that reason I decided to forgo torque testing and concentrate on finding out what the tools could and could not do.
Why Brushless?
Brushless motors offer several advantages over standard (brushed) motors. They are more compact, they have no brushes to wear out, and they are more efficient, so they can do more work per charge. And because they are electronically commutated, it's easy to integrate advanced control features. (For a more detailed look at brushless technology, see "Brushing Up on Brushless," Winter 2013.)
To test the limits of these tools' power, I used them to perform progressively more difficult drilling and driving tasks in both high and low gear (see table, facing page). The tougher tasks were more challenging than what you would normally expect an 18-volt cordless drill/driver to be able to do.
I tested runtime by drilling 1-inch holes through 2-by Douglas fir framing lumber with single-flute auger bits until the batteries were depleted. To avoid overheating the drills, I rested them after each set of eight holes. This is the same protocol used in Tools of the Trade's last 18-volt drill/driver test (Spring 2012), but the numbers are not directly comparable because while the bits were the same, the wood was not. For example, the same Festool model was included in both tests, but it drilled 21 fewer holes in mine—which I attribute to the wood. The earlier test was performed in California with relatively green lumber; my test was performed in Colorado, where extreme low humidity causes wood to get dry and hard very fast.
Each tool was tested with its supplied battery, which varied in power from a 2.0-amp-hour (Ah) compact pack to a full-size 5.2-Ah pack (that has yet to be released in this country). The tools in between were tested with 3.0-Ah or 4.0-Ah packs. Therefore, the results do not provide a straight comparison; instead they give a sense of what to expect with the supplied battery. Where an upgrade is available, you can increase runtime by purchasing a higher-Ah pack. The results from the runtime test (with the specified battery) are as follows:
DeWalt (2.0 Ah), 44 holes/charge
Hitachi (3.0 Ah), 66 holes/charge
Makita (3.0 Ah), 66 holes/charge
Festool (3.0 Ah), 73 holes/charge
Milwaukee (4.0 Ah), 111 holes/charge
Metabo (5.2 Ah), 133 holes/charge
Like other drill/drivers, the tools in this test have variable-speed triggers, two speed ranges, drill or drive modes, and a clutch to regulate the driving force. However, the internal electronics make for some differences.
Optical trigger. Hitachi uses an optical trigger that is said to be more durable and provide smoother speed transition than traditional mechanical ones.
Speed control. As with other models, high and low gear are controlled by a mechanical slide switch, but Hitachi added an electronic control that limits max rpm to four steps within each gear. This feature makes more sense on its brushless impact driver; with a drill, it's simpler to reduce speed by feathering the trigger or using low gear.
Electronic clutch. Most drill/drivers have friction clutches, which give way at a certain level of resistance. The Festool and Metabo tools, however, have electronic clutches that are coupled to the trigger. Instead of disengaging the chuck from the still-spinning motor, they immediately stop the motor. These electronic clutches are very precise—a little too precise for driving in wood. A friction clutch will still drive fasteners the last little bit while slipping, but electronic clutches are more abrupt; they stop and start at a particular torque and there's no outsmarting them. As a result, when working in wood, I tend to leave them at the highest setting or in drill mode.
Mode switch. The usual arrangement for a drill/driver is for it to have a drill-mode setting at the high end of the clutch ring. Makita and Milwaukee equipped their tools with separate mechanical mode-changing rings. Besides being quicker, this allows you to switch between drilling and driving without changing clutch settings. Festool and Metabo rely on electronics to bypass the clutch—a switch on the former and a push-button on the latter.
For years, Metabo has offered what it calls the "impuls" pulse mode. When you hold the trigger down in this mode, the tool rapidly cycles on and off like a slow impact driver. I don't find much use for this feature in my work, but the action is supposed to help when you're starting drill bits in metal or backing out screws with stripped heads.
Energy-Dense Batteries
Although not particular to brushless models, higher amp-hour batteries are often associated with them. When used together they make for incredible runtime; in fact, it's difficult to tell how much of the increased runtime of these tools is attributable to the higher efficiency of their brushless motors versus the larger fuel tank of higher amp-hour batteries.
As recently as last year, the average cordless system topped out at 3.0 Ah for full-size packs and 1.5 Ah for compact ones. For most tools, the current maximum for these sizes is 4.0 Ah and 2.0 Ah respectively. Metabo is premiering a full-size pack with a 5.2 Ah rating—an astounding number and the highest we have seen to date in an 18-volt tool.
Battery Fuel Gauges
It was a long time coming, but this is the first test I have done where every model had a fuel gauge. As with cellphones, more bars mean better service. I prefer the distinct accuracy of battery gauges with four bars (Metabo, Milwaukee) over those with three bars (DeWalt, Festool, Makita) and especially over the uncertainty of a two-bar gauge (Hitachi).
It's nice to have a little bit of juice left when the battery shuts down at the end of the charge. That way, you can restart the tool and finish removing a fastener or reverse an auger bit out of a hole without changing batteries. This is not the case with the Milwaukee, which drains every allowable milliwatt out of its battery and then leaves you instantly immobilized. The Makita also occasionally does this.
LED Headlights
Festool, Makita, and Milwaukee put their lights in the usual place—just above the trigger. On the DeWalt and Metabo, the light's on top of the tool base where it will not be eclipsed by the chuck. Because of its low angle, the DeWalt's LED does the best job lighting the head of a screw or tip of a drill bit. The twin lights on the base of the Metabo are a good idea but they're aimed so far out that unless you're using a really long bit, they're worthless except as a flashlight.
There are spaces molded into the base of the Hitachi for a switch and light. Its brushless hammer drill/driver contains those items, but for some reason this drill/driver does not.
Belt Hook
Belt hooks are standard issue with most drill/drivers. Of the tools tested, only the Milwaukee does not come with a belt hook. You can get one as an accessory but it requires a troublesome special order.
Most belt hooks consist of a large steel hoop that can attach to either side of the base alongside the battery. Festool attaches a double-sided hook to each battery, but the hook's small size and plastic attachment tab make me question its long-term durability.
Side Handles
It helps to have a removable side handle when you're drilling large holes or driving lags, because you want a good two-handed grip. This will not only protect your wrist; it may also prevent you from getting hit in the jaw with the butt end of a drill. The Hitachi, Metabo, and Milwaukee include side handles; the others do not.
The Bottom Line
The drill/drivers tested represent different size subclasses within the growing category of 18-volt brushless tools, so the best choice depends on the work you need it to do.
The DeWalt is currently the only compact, and I found myself reaching for it constantly for my everyday pilot-hole drilling and screw-driving tasks. At the other end of the scale are the Metabo and Milwaukee, the only models capable of driving a 2 9/16-inch self-feeding plumber's bit through framing lumber without slowing down. I give the nod to the Milwaukee because it's currently available in the U.S. The Metabo was just released in Germany and is scheduled for U.S. release in early 2014. If I didn't want to go compact or large, the mid-size Makita is a practical choice for most tasks.
DeWalt 20V MAX DCD 790
Includes: Two batteries; charger; plastic case
Comments: Lighter-duty tool with comfortable compact size and weight
Pro: Lightest and smallest in the test—both benefits that make a compact tool the preferred type for average tasks. Able to easily upgrade performance by using a full-size battery—a 4.0 Ah battery in this tool provides a bit more power and a lot more runtime. Most effective LED headlight.
Con: Less powerful than other brushless models. Compact battery had the shortest runtime.
Festool T18+3
Includes: Two batteries; charger; Centrotec bit holder, offset bit holder, right-angle bit holder/chuck mount, Systainer case. Less expensive drill kit available without accessory attachments.
Comments: Surprisingly strong tool with versatile attachments, but at quite a price
Pro: A mid-size tool that performed in the stronger half of the testing despite brand's reputation for refined woodworking shop tools. Even displayed great power in high gear. Chuck detaches easily without tools to allow the drill/driver to fit other attachments. The accessory ends in the kit tested provide a lot of versatility. Forward-thinking battery compatibility with all 18-, 15.6-, 14.4-, and 12-volt batteries from the brand.
Con: Very expensive compared to the competition. Exacting electronic clutch fussy to use. Belt hook not large and robust enough.
Hitachi DS18DBL
Includes: Two batteries; charger; side handle; plastic case
Comments: A medium-capacity tool with a few hidden frills
Pro: High-tech optical trigger that handles no electric current, said to last longer than mechanical trigger. Side handle comes in handy for high-torque work.
Con: The only tool lacking a headlight—the space used for the headlight on the brand's similar impact driver is just a blank on this tool. You constantly have to check if the electronic control is set to full power, because it's easy to bump the adjustment button inadvertently and set the tool to a lower power mode. The clutch ring suffered from a stiff action and an indistinct feel while setting at a detent. Imprecise two-bar battery fuel gauge.
Makita LXPH06
Includes: This tool is being released first in a combo kit (XT248) along with an impact driver but will be available by the end of the year in a stand-alone kit with two batteries, charger, and plastic case or as a bare tool.
Comments: Mid-size, medium-duty, and lightweight—includes "bonus" hammer-drill function without a weight penalty
Pro: The lightest intermediate-size tool. Solid performance, useful features, and comfortable form factor make it a practical choice among the mid-size tools.
Con: Has noticeable play in the chuck/clutch/mode selection ring assembly that became apparent during heavier use. Weak clutch settings—won't drive medium to large screws unless set to drill mode. Shows one bar out of three on battery gauge when run completely down, making it difficult to judge the end of the charge.
Metabo BS18LTXBL Quick
Includes: Two batteries; charger; side handle, plastic case
Comments: Powerful, fast, exotic, and expensive, but with a few perplexing features
Pro: Very high power, the fastest in most of the trials, and the highest amp-hour cells we've ever tested provide the longest runtime. The unique pulse mode can aid in metal drilling and powering out stuck or stripped screws. Changing the electronic clutch setting automatically switches the tool to driver mode. Cool, high-tech innovations, like a motion-activated headlight that stays on as long as the tool is moving and a motor brake that returns electrical energy back into the battery. Chuck detaches easily without tools to allow unit to fit optional attachments. Side handle comes in handy for high-torque work.
Con: Exacting electronic clutch fussy to use. The center of the headlight is set to align with the tip of an 8-inch bit so it misses the mark for most common uses. The headlight's motion sensor is too sensitive—goes on with the slightest bump near the unit, which is distracting.
Milwaukee Fuel 2603-22
Includes: Two batteries; charger; side handle, plastic case
Comments: Heavy-duty, full-size tool—a strong performer
Pro: Very high power and long runtime (and a decent price) are an attractive combination. Arguably the strongest in the test with great power even in high gear. Side handle comes in handy for high-torque work.
Con: Heaviest in test. Only one without belt hook. Sudden battery cutoff can leave you stuck halfway through a task.

October Surprise; or, How to Follow a Perfect SeasonBy James Santel
My grandfather died in St. Louis last year on October eighth. The following night, Chris Carpenter pitched a three-hitter against the Phillies, lifting the Cardinals into the NLCS and alerting the nation that rather than just a squad of plucky underdogs, the Cardinals might be a team touched by something phenomenologically greater than a hot streak. For certain members of my family, my grandfather's mid-playoff death offered a locus for the sense of destiny awakening around the Cardinals; in the weeks to come, as the team mounted increasingly improbable victories, more than one relative offered comments in the vein of, "Wally had something to do with this!" or "Wally was watching over the Cardinals last night!" Being a skeptical and ragged Catholic, I responded to these remarks with quiet derision, as I do to all suggestions that the Almighty would choose to meddle in the outcomes of our mortal diversions.
But as the weather here in St. Louis finally cools after a boiling, interminable summer—a summer that saw the maddening Cardinals muddle their way to a fragile hold on one of the devalued wild-card spots—I find it difficult not to look back on last fall's championship run and see a team touched by divinity, or magic, or fate—a moment when a higher realm reached through the portal of sport and touched this mortal plane. The Cardinals may well make the playoffs this year, but I have to confess that I'm finding it hard to care. Whatever illumed last season, it's gone, and here in St. Louis, we're learning to live in its aftermath.
"Baseball," as Michael Chabon observed in McSweeney's no. 36, is "a game that somehow seems to offer more room, a greater scope than other sports, for the consciousness of failure and defeat—has always been associated, in its own history and my own, with a sense of loss, the idea of the lost arcadia, the last patch of green folded into a pocket of the world of brick and asphalt." The sport is a dissonant blend of nostalgia and modernity. On the one hand, as Chabon says, it is a sport stubbornly resistant to change. The unhurried pace, the managers in uniform, the persistence of Fenway and Wrigley, the timeless sound of vendors calling out over the chatter of multitudes—these are all dogged holdouts, boulders in the stream of capital-P Progress, a refuge of familiarity in a world that often feels bent upon making itself unfamiliar from one day to the next. As George Carlin once put it, the objective of baseball is to go home.

Gaziantep Olay TV, 1 February 2011
"… The Imam [Imam Jafar al-Sadiq] then said, "O Hisham, how many are your senses?"
He replied, "They are five."
The Imam then asked, "Which one is the smallest?"
He replied, "The seeing sense."
The Imam then asked, "How big is its size?"
He replied, "It is about the size of the lentil or smaller."
The Imam then said, "O Hisham, look in front of you and above you and then tell me what you have seen."
Hisham then replied, "I can see the sky, the earth, the houses, the buildings, the land, the mountains and the water canals."
The Imam then said, "The One Who has been able to fit all that you can see in a lentil or even a smaller thing is also able to fit the whole world inside an egg without any change in the size of any one of them."
Hisham bowed down and kissed the feet, the hands and the head of the Imam (a.s.) saying, "This is enough for me O descendant of the holy Prophet [saas]" and then left for his home." (Usul al Kafi, Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni, H 212, Ch. 1, h 4; online at http://www.al-shia.org/html/eng/books/hadith/al-kafi/part3/part3-ch1.htm)
6.8 --- It is narrated from Muhammed b. Hanafi that: We were with Hazrat Ali (as) one day. Someone asked about Hazrat Mahdi. Ali (ra) said, "Alas." He then made a nine with his hands and said that he will come in the End Times, when a person is told "Fear Allah, fear Allah." (and he went on to say): In the same way the clouds gather in the sky, Allah will muster a community around him. He will reconcile their hearts. They will not grieve for those of them who are martyred, nor rejoice over those who join them. Their numbers are those of the people of Badr. In the same way that those who went before could not surpass them, those who come after will not be able to catch them. Their numbers are the number of those who crossed the river with SAUL. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman)
…restriction to 7 years, he will reign over all countries for 7 years, or restriction to 9 years, as of the capture of Constantinople ... (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, 184)
In other words, our Prophet (saas) refers to the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) to Istanbul and his being active in Istanbul for 7 or 9 years. There is also a reference to 79, the number 7 and 9 put together.
As clouds gather in the sky, Allah will muster a community around him.. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, 57)
That is why freemasons wear white gloves. Because of their awe of that glove. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will find that glove. That will be very important evidence for the masons. The staff of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) and the robe of the Prophet Adam (pbuh). He will unearth these and display them. And the masons will come to faith when they see this, insha'Allah. Unbelievers will also believe. The Ark of the Covenant in particular. They are keenly awaiting the Ark of the Covenant. Masons and the Knights of the Temple and the Rosicrucians. They have been seeking it for hundreds of years. But they cannot find the Ark of the Covenant. They cannot, because it is not in such a place as to be found. Its lord will unearth it. And they will be overwhelmed when it is discovered. It will also have a profound and intense impact on masons.
"A corruption will appear such that nowhere will be free of it, and this corruption will immediately spread from where it is to another place." He says it will spreadin a chain effect to other countries. It began in one place and spread to another.
"This corruption will immediately spread from where it is to another place, and this state of affairs will persist until a herald calls from the sky, "O People, your commander is now the Mahdi." Our Prophet (saas) says these events will not cease. He says they will continue until the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

--- Ibn Asakir related in his History in a chain of accounts originating from Abu Zer that Rasulullah (saas) said: A MAN WITH A FLATTENED NOSE WILL EMERGE FROM THE QUREYSH IN EGYPT. HE WILL BE DEFEATED, HIS POSSESSIONS WILL DISAPPEAR AND HE WILL FLEE TO RUM. He will bring them to Alexandria and he will fight against Muslims and this will be the first bloody slaughter
He says the people with the names of "Kahtani, Jahjah, Haysan and Makat will appear." In my opinion, Sheikh Nazim al-Qubrusi is one of these people. Either Kahtani, or Jahjah, or Haysan or Makat. Sheikh Yasin is also one of them. Important figures of the End Times.
