These circulation-enhancing socks earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because they provided the most accurate compression and were the most comfortable. The socks were analyzed by a hosiery compression-testing center and The Best socks provided the most accurate, proper compression that was tighter around the ankle and 87% looser at the calf, unlike lesser socks that actually increased compression by 42% at the calf. Panelists wore the socks for eight hours and The Best socks were lauded for being "very light" and they "never felt itchy" unlike lesser models that were "very itchy" or "too tight." The Best Circulation Enhancing Travel Socks are made from a breathable, antibacterial polyester blend that wicks away moisture and keeps feet cool and dry, leading one panelist to say "My feet stayed dry all day even though I was wearing boots." Machine wash and dry. Black or Brown.

Wore them on r/t flite LAX to JFK. Wore them all over Manhattan. Have used numerous other sox in the past which were so heavy and hard to get on. I forgot I was wearing these compression sox and my feet did not swell up at all nor did my legs feel heavy. I took the sox to my Dr.yesterday so that he could refer them to his other patients. They are just WONDERFUL!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dressy compression socks
By Joan
from Nebraska
The toeless medical compression socks are difficult, almost impossible to put on--and then you need to put on colored socks on top of them. My husband says they're very comfortable. Great find! Please try to get them in tan and brown as well as black.
Great Legs
By Grandma Carol
from Grant City, MO
My daughter told me to try the men's small in support socks because I could not find any that would fit my large calf. They were always too tight even when ordered by measurement. These are just great. They feel wonderful, I have no leg aches or even tiredness when I wear them.

Loreena Cook filled out Utah's application for free autism treatment a week ago, pinning her hopes for her 3-year-old son's future on a prayer.
"It's not a good feeling," she said. "I feel almost like if Damien doesn't get it, there will be 250 other children who get help, and we'll just fall further behind."
It took nine days for applications to the state's experimental Autism Waiver program to exceed the available number of slots, leaving parents desperate for affordable treatment options to the whim of a lottery.
"We passed 250 [applications] last night. We're at 261 this morning," said Utah Department of Health spokesman Tom Hudachko on Tuesday.
This does not mean the program is full, stressed Hudachko. "Your chances of being accepted to the program are the same whether you're the first person to submit an application or the 501st."
The state will accept applications online through 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 31. Mail-in applications must be postmarked by Oct. 31.
The applications will then be pooled and ranked by a computer at random. To ensure that the slots are fairly disbursed, a given number have been assigned to each of the state's 12 health districts based on population.
The Cooks live in Tremonton, but hope to relocate to the Cache Valley. Damien's father, Allen, recently left a job at the Utah Transit Authority for a similar position at Utah State University where therapists are in ample supply.
There's no calculating Damien's odds of winning the lottery. State officials do not yet have a clear sense of where demand is highest, other than to say most applications have come from families living along the Wasatch Front.
But Hudachko acknowledged, "We envision receiving more applications than there are spaces in several health districts."
If a health district fails to fill its spaces, the extras will be reassigned to a surrounding district, he said.
The waiver program, paid for with $4.5 million in state funds and $10.5 million in federal money, was devised as an alternative after parents lobbied the 2012 Legislature to force health insurers to cover treatment. Utah is among a minority of states without an autism mandate.
Cook is thankful for any help she can get.
"We've thought of leaving and moving to California or Michigan or Wisconsin," said the 29-year-old mother of three. "This program gave me enough hope to stick it out here a bit longer."
She believes the day will soon come when insurers will no longer be able to argue that autism is a behavioral, not a medical, problem.
"This affects 1 in 37 boys in Utah. That's huge. What's going to happen when those kids reach their 20s and they're functioning like a 12-month-old?" she said. "As a society we're going to have to deal with this."
Damien was an early walker and talker. "Then, one day, he stopped talking. He was about 1," said Cook who initially credited her son's silence to a string of bad ear infections.
The technician who tested his hearing suspected autism. But it took nearly a year to reach an official diagnosis.
"Everyone warned us against it because you can be denied other basic medical care," said Cook. "It's a Catch-22. You have to have a diagnosis to get therapy. But it flags your medical claims for review."
Applied Behavioral Analysis, treatment that can cost between $20,000 and $40,000 a year, was out of reach for the family. So Cook picked up some text books and tried doing therapy on her own.
"I'm really lucky. Damien is low on the spectrum, low functioning, but he's an affectionate and loving little boy. He's antisocial in groups and afraid of loud noises and sounds, but still loves hugs and cuddling up with you," she said. "Even so, it feels like you lost a child, so you try everything in your power to find them again."
The home therapy seemed to help. But Cook said, "It took me about a year before I burned out."
If Damien wins Utah's lottery, Cook hopes to work with graduate student therapists in training at USU's Assert program.
The Autism Waiver program also pays for respite care and covers the cost of assessing children and mapping out a treatment plan.
Lottery winners will be notified starting Nov. 13 and asked to provide medical proof of their child's diagnosis with autism spectrum disorder. They will have 10 days to submit this information. After that they'll be screened for eligibility.
"We could have kids enrolled and selecting providers by late November to mid-December," said Hudachko.
It's not too late
Children between the ages of 2 and 6 who meet certain requirements can still apply for free, in-home autism treatment through the Utah Autism Waiver program.
The state will take online and faxed applications until 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 31. Mail-in applications must be postmarked by Oct. 31. For more information go to www.health.utah.gov/autismwaiver.
To be eligible, kids must:
Be clinically diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
Be a U.S. citizen and Utah resident.
Have been born between April 1, 2007 and October 31, 2010.
Not have assets, such as a bank account or trust fund, in his or her name in excess of $2,000.

The Nordyke and Marmon Co. was an early maker of gas-powered vehicles with its first production model of an air-cooled V-twin automobile in 1902 at a factory in Indianapolis. That car came a full six years before Henry Ford released its landmark "Tin Lizzie" Model T in Detroit, which would go down in history as the first affordable automobile. The Marmon cars had a price tag of about $2,500, while the Model T cost just $850.
That price difference made one only reachable to the upper crust, while the Ford model was clearly marketed to the masses. The V-2 Marmon, and its sibling V-4 model, soon gained a reputation as a sporty and speedy upscale automobile that was also reliable and easy to maintain. America's driving culture proved large enough to allow both markets to prosper, until money was harder to come by, that is. But the market could not foresee the Great Depression to come.
The Model 32 of 1909 led to the Wasp, winner of the first Indianapolis 500 motor race. The Wasp featured the world's first rear-view mirror and also pioneered the use of aluminum in its engine, body and chassis. The 1926 Marmon D-74 roadster featured an in-line six. Nearly 4,500 of were sold in 1926 at a cost of $3,000. But the car maker's fate was sealed with the global downturn of the 1930s. Production ended in 1933.
The 84- horsepower car in the LeMay collection is Marmon's two-passenger, three-speed roadster that successfully completed the 2011 Pebble Beach Motoring Classic.
Only 350 of the 250,000 Marmon cars ever produced are known to exist today. D-74 models run upward of $90,000 when they are auctioned in car collecting circles.

Hypnobirthing - have you tried it?
The birth of my son was not the birth that I had hoped for. I suffered with post-traumatic stress syndrome due to the lengthy, stressful labour for many months after the birth.
I have been looking into the theory behind Hypnobirthing for my future births. I believe that fear of what was happening in my first labour caused my body to work against the natural instincts every woman has during labour. I understand Hypnobirthing focusses on eliminating the fear of labour.
Has anyone used Hypnobirthing? Was it effective at all stages of the labour? In order to learn Hypnobirthing, did you listen to cds or attend a Hypnobirthing class?
All comments will be much appreciated!

I didn't try it but I considered it. My midwife said she hadn't seen a big difference in those who used it as compared to those who didn't. However, I have heard of women who used it and they loved it.
Here's a video that shows a mom who used Hypnobirthing and had a waterbirth. Amazing!

Joint function and health can be supported in your horse with the administration of Cosequin, the number one veterinarian-recommended joint health supplement brand. Contains FCHG49 glucosamine and TRH122 sodium chondroitin sulfate, Nutramax Laboratories proprietary veterinary researched specifications Has been shown safe, bioavailable and effective in published research Economical for long-term maintenance 3.3 grams per level scoop Cosequin is an exclusive formula of three important ingredients: TRH122 low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate, FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride, and manganese ascorbate. These ingredients have been scientifically formulated to support and maintain the health of your horse's joints. Published studies have shown that the specific combination of ingredients in Cosequin helps to maintain the structure of the cartilage while inhibiting the enzymes that break down cartilage. Cosequin is the only glucosamine/ chondroitin sulfate brand that has been shown safe, bioavailable and effective in horses in published studies. What is Cosequin Equine Powder?Cosequin is an exclusive formula of three important ingredients: TRH122 low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate, FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride,and manganese ascorbate. These ingredients have been scientifically formulated to support and maintain the health of your horse's joints. Published studies have shown that the specific combination of ingredients in Cosequin helps to maintain the structure of the cartilage while inhibiting the enzymes that break down cartilage. Cosequin is the only glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate brand that has been shown safe, bioavailable and effective in horses in published studies. How does Cosequin Equine Powder work?Cartilage is a slippery and resilient tissue produced and maintained by its own specialized cells. It cushions the surfaces where two or more bones form a flexible joint. Cartilage, joint fluid, and underlying bone work together like a shock absorber allowing flexible joint function. Because cartilage lacks a direct blood supply, nutrients must pass into the cartilage from surrounding tissue. These nutrients sustain cartilage cells and provide the components necessary to maintain a healthy cartilage structure. With age, injury, or over-activity, cartilage cannot maintain the proper balance in metabolic activity, and breakdown of cartilage can exceed the process of cartilage production. That's when it's time for Cosequin. The components of Cosequin work both to synergistically enhance the synthesis of cartilage matrix as well as to inhibit the enzymes that break down cartilage, thus helping to restore balance. Glucosamine hydrochloride acts as a building block of cartilage by supplying a key nutrient that keeps cartilage cells healthy and functioning properly. Chondroitin sulfate blocks the enzymes that break down cartilage. When should I start giving my horse Cosequin?Early action is always the best advice. Many horse owners can detect subtle changes in their horse's gait when breakdown of cartilage is just beginning. Unevenness in gait, reluctance to take or change a lead or shortness of stride are all early warnings of cartilage breakdown. Your first step is to have your horse examined by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian will advise you if Cosequin can help. By using Cosequin early, you may be able to offset long-term problems. Published research has reported improvement in some horses as early as two weeks. How do I administer the powder to my horse?Detailed instructions are contained in the package inserts. The recommended initial administration period is two to four weeks. Following the initial administration period, the amount of powder can be reduced to an economical maintenance schedule. Once consistent improvement has been seen, in some cases these maintenance levels can be further reduced to an every other day administration. To meet the demands prior to and during an event or strenuous outing, the administration can be increased back to the initial amount. The maintenance level may also be used daily or every other day on healthy horses to help support their joints. Is Cosequin cost effective?Yes! As your horse's performance improves, the daily amount of Cosequin may be reduced to an economical maintenance level. This level may be as low as one scoop per day or every other day. When examining the label of other products they may appear to contain the same ingredients as Cosequin Equine Powder, but do they?Many products try to compare to Cosequin, but there is no generic equivalent. Chondroitin sulfate is a large molecule that is difficult to absorb. Cosequin is the only brand that uses the TRH122 low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate, which has been evaluated and shown bioavailable. Low molecular weight means the particle size of the molecule is smaller and more easily absorbed by the digestive system than other less pure forms of chondroitin sulfate. While this form of chondroitin sulfate is more expensive, it is the only one supported by published, controlled U.S. clinical studies for efficacy, safety and bioavailability. Other products that are labeled to contain chondroitin sulfate may actually use ground up cartilage or other less pure material. Many other products contain ingredients from sources that may not maintain strict quality control standards for purity and quality. Cosequin Equine Powder also contains FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride, which is greater than 99% pure. Glucosamine hydrochloride delivers significantly more bioavailable glucosamine than an equivalent amount of glucosamine sulfate. In summary, the purity and bioavailability of Cosequin's trademarked ingredients, guaranteed to be as stated on the label, make Cosequin the best choice! Cosequin contains FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride and TRH122 low molecular weight sodium chondroitin sulfate, Nutramax Laboratories exclusive veterinary researched specifications. Company History:Founded in 1992, a private, Christian-based, company located in Edgewood, Maryland with approximately 100,000 square feet, Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. researches, develops, and markets high quality products to support the active lifestyles of people and animals.

Reed to Head GSA's National Capital Region
June 14, 2007
Contact: Eleni Martin, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration today announced Tony Reed will serve as the Regional Administrator of the Agency's National Capital Region effective June 11, 2007.
"Tony is an energetic, resourceful leader who brings extensive practical experience to his new position as head of GSA National Capital Region," said Administrator Lurita Doan. "I am glad to have him as part of GSA's leadership team."
As the head of the National Capital Region, Mr. Reed oversees a real estate portfolio of 93 million square feet—an inventory of over 880 government–owned and leased facilities that house nearly 300,000 federal workers. GSA's National Capital Region serves federal agency clients throughout the Washington, DC metro area including Maryland (Montgomery and Prince George's counties) and Virginia (the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church and Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties).
"I am honored to be given this opportunity to serve the administration, Administrator Doan and the wonderful employees at GSA," said Mr. Reed. "I look forward to being a part of this great organization."
Prior to joining GSA, Mr. Reed served as the Assistant Secretary for the Maryland Department of General Services where he was responsible for the goods and services for the state, county and municipal government including construction, architectural and engineering services.
Mr. Reed received a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 1986 and a master of public administration degree from New York University in 1991.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 205,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? The National Capital Region's Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center just began its 7th season of Live! on Woodrow Wilson Plaza , with the 2007 experience including, jazz, hip hop, salsa, blues, Motown, international music, dance, comedy and rock 'n'roll.

I will not spoil anything, but when they promote events in Cagewarriors they usually using a host to make the undercard, in this case Zubair Tuhugov signed the fight through an another club (host) in Groznyj, but yes, Cagewarriors is a good platform for local fighters such as Mohamed "Felx" Ali.
Other russians that is under negotiation with UFC are:
- Bekbulat Magomedov
- Albert Tumenov
- Rashid Magomedov
It is thanks by Kamil Gadzhiev (promoter of Fight Nights) who have developed a good mma-scene in Russia today, no corruption whatsoever, fair purse for the fighters and non-exclusive contracts.

You are right, you won't spoil anything, but you kinda did try.
I think it was be a nice gesture if you could post a short apology to Ian in this thread
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Ian - is it fair to say that in the UK, you have probably more of an eye for Europe than any other domestic human being?

And my guess would be that Red Bull banned him from reviewing their cans because it does FU6K ALL to him these days; doesn't even touch the sides. He now drinks fermented bear urine whilst eating shark steak.

A journal actually related to OMFA...'s been a while, huh? Well, part 6 is up and sounding B-E-A-utiful. Sorry this took so long, I was trying to adjust to the new software and figure out how to do some essential basics. Thank GOD I am surrounded by geeks here. Now, obviously, since OMFA is on a temporary hiatus, there won't be any new parts for a while. That's fine. I'll be working on the SotP audiobook in the meantime....and getting though freshman year of college/university.
AND in other news.............I turn 18 on September 4th. So if anyone wants to send cake or something my way, I won't say no...

Spoiler alert: I think Microsoft is one of the tech giants.
When characterizing the technology wars of our age, I suspect many of us come up with the right wars. We think PC vs. Mac for home computers, we think Google and Apple for smartphones (though Microsoft is coming up in this area rather nicely), we think Google and…Bing? Well, we think Google for search, at least. Google pits itself against Firefox (and Microsoft is trying so hard with Internet Explorer 10) in the realm of web browsers. Tablets are primarily a war between, again, Apple and Google, though others have tried to break in, some with outright failure (HP Touchpad, Blackberry Playbook) and others with some success, and a lot of hope (Microsoft Surface).
Once upon a time, Microsoft was a seemingly undisputed leader in almost everything related to computer software: everything ran Windows, even mobile operating systems. RIM broke in and stole the mobile field, at least for business-minded-consumers, and Apple has kept Microsoft on their toes in the desktop OS arena. The giant from Redmond is getting smaller year by year, or so it seems. Their latest move, which is to introduce a whole new design for everything they make (from Office to Windows, from Xbox to Windows Phone), at times feels desperate, but it also feels intelligent. There's something here to win hearts over, and something quite powerful.
Why, then, are they left out of technology war articles?
Take this article, over at The Economist. After describing the technology war as a Game of Thrones-esque battlefield, they have this to say about Microsoft:
And there is an ancient empire to contend with, too: Microsoft, which recently launched its first tablet computer, is trying hard to get back into the game, having been profitably preoccupied with PC software. But it is the battle between the big four that will have the greatest impact in future on the way people find information, consume content and purchase all kinds of stuff, and on who takes their money in return.
The article talks primarily about Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon. While the focus is on content management and our intake of information, it still seems odd to include Amazon and Facebook. Don't get me wrong: I use both of these services, and there are lots of things I love about each. Amazon single-handedly changed the way I shop online, and Facebook helps me keep in touch with people from all over the world. Amazon may have the power to strong-arm something in the future (they've got a market for a digital library rivaling Apple, and probably has a stronger movie catalog), but Facebook is a social media website, like Myspace or Google+. Granted, Facebook is doing extremely well; it's so ubiquitous at this point, it's shocking to find people who aren't on it. My Grandma uses Facebook, for instance.
But Facebook is hardly a tech giant, any more than Tumblr or Twitter. Whether you're posting pictures of your kids, reblogging an endless sea of memes, or microblogging just about anything you want, the web is a wide place with plenty of outlets for your information. Facebook is hardly unique on that front, even if it is the most populated. It does what it does well, and maybe even better than anyone else, but the main complaint with Google+ (as an example) is how empty it is.
So why does Facebook get included in the Great Tech Wars story, and Microsoft barely gets a mention? It's an odd shift from the days of the Mac vs. PC commercials. Microsoft, in the eyes of many, was stagnating. No one really liked Windows Mobile, even if people are willing to admit that they love the new Windows Phone platform, save for a 'lack of apps.' Then there was that whole Vista debacle, which goes to show how much of an impact a poor launch can have on the long-standing value of a platform. Vista was actually a solid operating system, once it got through the first service pack. But, of course, Vista is one of the most hated editions of Windows.
But are Vista and Windows Mobile really enough to damage Microsoft as a contender in the world of tech? Is it now just an ancient empire, vying for years gone by?
In short, yes. Well, sort of.
Microsoft damaged itself, but it wowed the world with Windows 7. The shift from Vista to 7 was grand, in a lot of ways, and it really has paid off. But damage was done, and Apple worked their way in. Suddenly a stylish decision from Microsoft was surprising. Read any review of Windows Phone 7 when it was first released, or even the initial impressions of Windows 8, and you'll find a tone of surprise: Microsoft did something cool. And this mentality has stuck: the iPhone is a symbol of 'cool,' an Android phone is a symbol of 'not following the sheep who love Apple products,' and Windows Phones are just 'surprisingly cool,' but mean little to many observers.
And so Microsoft has to fight an uphill battle that I'm not really sure they even should have to fight. They're striving for perceptions, even though reality says they still hold the majority of desktop OSes, particularly in schools and businesses. The trick now is convincing users that they can run with the cool tech of today, with tablets and smartphones and peripherals. They've done that with Windows Phone, and most people who have used the platform agree on that front. The risk is on their home desktop, Windows 8. Time will tell if it will land Microsoft in a place of success or having to fight yet another battle.
But know this: the ancient empire is hardly squashed. It's not even missing, it's just not lit up quite as bright.

Upward Bound summer program hosted 50 high school students from
Adair, Clinton,
Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell and Taylor
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College
once again hosted an Upward Bound summer program. Upward Bound is a
federally funded program that gives low-income, first-generation
college-bound high school students an opportunity to live on campus
and immerse themselves in the college experience over the
Students take college-level math, English and science
classes, earning college credits as well as going on service
missions and entertaining field trips. A total of 50 students from
Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell and Taylor
counties participated in LWC's program, which ended earlier this
"It's a great head start on college classes. It's fun and we
develop family like bonds with each other," said Upward Bound
student Courtney Adkins of Albany, Ky. "I've been doing this for so
long, so that when I finally do start college, I know I won't panic
as much or have trouble adjusting to the new lifestyle change. It's
changed my perspective on college and on my life."
But the experience is not only about classroom work. Upward
Bound students also enjoyed several social outings this
"My favorite part of Upward Bound are the movie nights," said
second-year Upward Bound student Seth Owlsey of Burkesville, Ky.
"We spend most of our time in classes, so the movie nights allow to
be sociable and make new friends. That's the best part of this
program -- you get to meet new people, do things that you've never
done before, and get some classes out of the way."
Krystal Cundiff is one of the driving forces
behind LWC's Upward Bound program. Cundiff, who is an Upward Bound
counselor/coordinator, works with the program because she loves to
help teenagers and believes in Lindsey Wilson's motto of working
with "every student, every day."
She said is also motivated by a desire to help
first-generation college students succeed.
"Receiving higher education is the key to success in the
modern age," Cundiff said. "I've seen this program work too much to
not be able to believe in it. I've seen kids come into our program
who had never even thought about college who are now successful
college graduates.
"We want to helps kids who are at a disadvantage, whether it
be that they're from a broken home or that they have severe
emotional issues. We want Upward Bound to be a place where they can
be free of that and see that they can still obtain a good future
for themselves."
This year, Cundiff took the Upward Bound students on a
service trip to Nashville, Tenn., where they worked with the
Salvation Army.
LWC's Upward Bound also involved other members of the
college's staff. This summer two members of the the LWC residence
life office taught two speciality classes: men's area coordinator
Jordan Willis taught a film review class, and men's residence hall
director Cameron Mueller is taught a class about the history of
U.S. Route 66.
"The history of Route 66 is something that has already
interested me," Mueller said. "It's nice to see that interest
spread to the kids. … I like interacting with the high school kids
because it's a completely different change of pace from what goes
on during the normal college semester."

Utah Governor to address Mines 28th Oil Shale Symposium
GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 9, 2008 – Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman will discuss oil shale development during the opening session of the 28th Oil Shale Symposium at Colorado School of Mines on Oct. 13.
Mines President M.W. "Bill" Scoggins will introduce the governor as the session kicks off at 1 p.m. at the Green Center, 924 16th St.
Along with Huntsman, the opening session of the symposium will include a talk on Colorado's approach to oil shale development by Harris Sherman, executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and an update on federal actions regarding oil shale by Foster Wade, deputy assistant secretary for Land and Minerals, U. S. Department of the Interior.
The Oil Shale Symposium is the premier international conference on the development of oil shale, which could potentially add another three trillion barrels of oil to global resources. Half of the world's known resources of shale oil are contained in the Green River Formation which occurs in northwestern Colorado, northeastern Utah, and southwestern Wyoming.
More than 300 delegates from 15 countries and 30 states and provinces in the U.S. and Canada are expected to attend the two and one-half days of sessions on science, engineering, environmental, socioeconomic and policy issues relating to potential production of oil from oil shale.
For more information, see the symposium Web site.
Founded in 1874, Colorado School of Mines was established to serve the needs of the local mining industry. Today, the School has an international reputation for excellence in both engineering education and the applied sciences with special expertise in the development and stewardship of the Earth's resources.

jihalat aur shirk ke inteh hai. esay peer zinda rehtay hein to bi logo ko gumraha krtay hein ,mar jatay hein tab mazar bnwa ker logo ka eeman kharab krtay hein..esay peero aur un k jahil mureedo per allah ke ***** ho,,,
jihalat ke intehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This evil person is a criminal , sex meniac and black mailer .He is not mental ,looks alright , very cunning and clever. He deserve the death by stoning.As for the neighbours are conerned , they should have kept an eye on this person because they know very well whats going on around them if the person is genuine or fake. Women who go to him ,must be from very poor and low cast families who believe in these things.
The lady doctor explained it in scientific terms, which is the modern knowledge, ever since the Science has progressed; we know how the sex is determined.
But our Muslim brothers and sisters if they had read the Holy Quran properly, they would have find that Allah SWT has decreed very clearly that it is man who gives the sex of the baby.
First we are informed, that the baby is born from the sperm as it�s poured forth, i.e. ejaculation from the man, and his sperm travelling to the egg or ovum of the woman to conceive.
53:46 out of a [mere] drop of sperm as it is poured forth,
Then Allah SWT also decreed that the Baby is born with the intermingling of the sperm of man and woman. Like the doctor explained, when women�s x mixed with man�s x chromosome the sex of the baby is a girl and when it is mixed with Y chromosome it is a boy.
76:2 Verily, it is We who have created man out of a drop of sperm intermingled, so that We might try him [in his later life]: and therefore We made him a being endowed with hearing and sight.
This is further explained in the following verse, which explains the same concept the drop of sperm determines his nature.
80:19 Out of a drop of sperm He creates him, and thereupon determines his nature,
In English the meaning cannot be transmitted perfectly, in Arabic the word used is �Nutfa� which we all know comes from man. Those who want to make the difference between the sperm and the �nutfa� they should see the actual Arabic of the Holy Quran for the following verse.
75:37 Was he not once a [mere] drop of sperm that had been spilt,
The above verse distinguishes between the sperm and �nutfa�.
Shame on man who hold women responsible for their own faults.
Don't Mix up my attitude with my personality.
My personality depends on ME
and my attitude depends on YOU
Is "sick" a new word you have learned? You are just probably frustrated on a lot of things in your own life. Get a life and your thinking will improve. It's meaningless and useless to argue with you. First of all get new glasses as you read my username as "Major". Secondly, if you read my comment again, I was referring directly to the interference regarding aulaad. Moreoever, I also believe that we as parents lose a lot in Pakistan by trying to "gain control". Parents not interfering unnecessarily doesn't mean that children ignore parents as well. In fact I have seen that the parents who don't do unnecessary interference and criticism, are more respected, even in our society. If you are not a father yet, you should watch urself when u become one. You might be totally opposite of what you come out to be on this forum. I have seen this many times in life.
When i use the word 'unnecessary' that means parents have to and are entitled to do interference in many matters esp when their children are young but as they grow, become adults, and especially get married, the interference needs to reduce. This is a form of tolerance. You need to study Islam in detail and get knowledge on what the rights of parents are, what the rights of children are and also what the rights of wives are, and especially what is the order of priority in those rights in terms of fulfilling basic needs and then providing luxuries. I can bet you have no idea. I can bet a heavy sum of money that you have no idea.
So the bottom line is that, first educate yourself before you go out and start arguments with other people. Arguing on matters one doesn't know or has not experienced makes the person look stupid. As a last point, I want to suggest you something - instead of coming out in anger and frustrations and bringing your life's frustration on an internet forum, try to learn from other people. Try to understand what other person is saying and why. That is the best way of education and it continues till one's death. Taking out ur frustration on the forums just is kicking a box (computer) and thinking you are kicking a person sitting many and may be thousands of miles away. If that gives you satisfaction and is good for you in long run, keep on doing it. If you realize it is not, then educate yourself first, about your religion, politics, society and economics which will be four important pillars for you to have a great blend of religious and worldly knowledge and success.
Hope it helps and you don't again start a comment with "Major you are sick"... Actually with your permission for using your pet word "sick" I want to say I am sick of seeing your comments start in the same way and having no substance . When you right a comment write something solid and understandable.
Its soo sad.
This is tip of iceberg, however, the anchor:
--created hype in the programe by showing one bed and few
words of fake peer.
As long as people will remain away from Quran, wherein it is
categorically written that "giving boy or girl is the sole discretion of
Allah, He grants them whom He wills". then not even two cents
to these peers and fakirs.
Moulvi Sahib seems just waiting to get the mike and to start
long stories in stead of replying to the point.
Learn and spread the word of Allah(Quran), all your problems will
solve or otherwise get what you are getting as a society, very simple.
This is a fact in our society, you can find this kind of man in every part of Pakistan So called mazar Parasti and peer parasti is the main cause of these activities. Both man and woman of our society are responsible. we cant balme just women or men. Jab tak Jahliat rahay ge loog mazaron me dafan murdah aur dehaton aur shehron me moujood zindah peeron se aulad aur muradain mangtay rahain gay aur phir yahi ho ga jo is report me hai... Ajj dekha kal bhol gaye. Allah hum sab ko hidayat day. Amen!
salay 2 takay k mulla phelay sawal ka jawab day nahi raha bas batay karwalooo deen ki
seedha seedha bolday k sab galat hai aur is ka hakkekat se koi layne dayna nahi
Srif Quran aur ahadees hi mai kamyabi hai
yeh Qavi sahib bhi buss .... Allah maaf karay....he is giving reference of historical bookz.....Question is simple?
is there a place for peers in Islam?
Is it permissable to go to peers in Islam?
will you allow your mother, sister to go there n let that peer even touch their hands?
what does Quran and Sahi Hadith say about this issue?....
Did prophet Mohammad PBUH or any of Sahaba followed this act?
plz if someone has any knowledge about this....
but my own personal opinion....Kamran shahid should invite some real Aalim for such sensitive issues......Qavi saab wasn't giving any solid proof

A Fake Pir exposed in Front Line with Kamran a program at Express News who had a sexual intercourse with more than 300 women for a baby boy. According to him all women were agree for this illicit act with him for having a baby boy because all were forced from their families to have a boy and they contacted this fake peer who offered them to have an illicit relationship with him to have a baby boy. Check the videos for further details.

Congrats & well done the channel team for unearthing such immoral happenings,this would probably influence a smaller lot of infertile couples because the craze (as i term this desire) for having son has been there since the creation of mankind and it will continue as such.The basic need is to educate our masses that rizq, aulad & death are only known to THE CREATOR. Step one of this good job is over that the fake peer is behind the bars but step two i.e. rehabilitation (religious, moral, psychological, social and physical) of the victims is still a challenge to be met by the society in general and their immediate families + the news breakers in particular. The news breaking team now has a greater liability to accomplish this mission by taking it to a respectful end suggested as step two.
We are THARKI nation, I wonder what caused this useless thread to get almost 20000 views in few days? Mention of peer making 300 women pregnant - exclusive video

By Jake Landers
Published March 2013
We have several native perennial Bristlegrasses that are important in our pastures. We also have a bunch of annuals we received from the Old World. The natives are rancher friendly, but the aliens are aggravating to farmers as weeds in crops and fields, and one of them is especially aggravating to me in my garden.
Southwestern bristlegrass in our deep soils is the largest of the natives with Plains bristlegrass smaller and more widespread in our rangeland. Grisebach bristlegrass is in between and sometimes overlaps in appearance with Southwestern bristlegrass to make identification untrustworthy. Knotroot bristlegrass is similar to Plains with knotty roots.
Most of the seed heads of the Bristlegrasses look like overgrown toothbrushes, but Reverchon bristlegrass has lost all of its bristles except for one or two per seed (spikelet) due to genetic changes.
The loss of bristles is an evolutionary process that doesn't answer the question, "Why?" A trend that reinforces itself is called "positive feedback." How the loss of bristles, or for that matter, the gain of bristles in other species, gives an advantage to the next generation as a driving force in evolution is unknown. Little things, however, are helpful in our identification and classification of grasses.
You don't need to worry about the scientific names unless you are serious about the study of grasses. They are Setaria scheelei, Southwestern; S. grisebachii, Grisebach; S. leucopila, Plains; S. parviflora, Knotroot; S. reverchonii, Reverchon; and S . ramiseta (No common name). One alien from the Old World is S. adhaerens, Hooked bristlegrass.
The seeds of Bristlegrasses are about the same size of the grain we call Millet, which is one of the annual grasses from the Old World brought into cultivation by our ancestors. Most of the other annual Bristlegrasses evolved on their own as weeds among the cereal crops of early times, and were inadvertently brought here mixed with crop or bird seeds. In crops they can be very damaging weeds. Germinating and growing by the bird feeder, they can be an interesting and often surprising addition to your backyard flora.
Hooked bristlegrass is a bothersome weed in my garden and flower beds. It got here somehow from the Old World. When it's mature the seed heads hook onto anything, and like Velcro, will not turn loose easily. Socks, dog fur or double-knit pants can be plastered with bristles and seeds that don't come out easily in the washing machine.
A single bristle—called an awn if it's longer, or seta if shorter—is shorter than a cat's whisker and more complicated in construction. It grows, like all plant parts, one cell at a time from the genetic instructions provided in the plant's DNA, combining molecules of cellulose for structure and proteins for glue in a bath of watery sap that is hard to envision in a dry-looking grass. If the DNA says so, hooks are made at regular intervals along the length of the awn or it stays smooth. Through the ages of its existence, each Bristlegrass has survived and prospered in different habitats with its own characteristics, with hooked or smooth awns. The bristles, as to size and number, are most useful in the identification of species.
For doves, quail, and other seed eating birds, the Bristlegrasses are of great importance. As a grazing resource the Bristlegrasses are in the category of fair.
Our natives persist as perennials on rangeland, and are seldom in abundance, but the annuals from the Old World can dominate cultivated ground with much vigor. All grow during the warm season when moisture is available.
Reading The Landscape
Perhaps this is a dreary winter scene in central Texas for some, but to an owner interested in ranching for a living, it may better be described as depressing. Why? —JL
|See below for Jake's answer
Jake's comments: Dense Mesquite with some Pricklypear cactus visible in the left pasture would indicate severely reduced grazing potential for livestock and lack of desirable browse plants for deer. Though this was historically open country, Mesquite trees have come in since the 1920s. Fire lines have been cleared between pastures and along the highway suggesting the rancher will use prescribed burning in the future to improve forage production. —JL

Megadeth drops Newsted as Australian opener
Listen to Megadeth on iHeartRadio | Listen to Newsted on iHeartRadio
There's apparently a rift between Megadeth and Newsted, so they won't be performing together in Australia later this month.
The bands are among the dozens of acts on board for the upcoming Soundwave Festival tour. In addition to the five festival dates, the event includes "sidewave" shows -- more traditional concerts at each stop featuring no more than three acts.
Sidewave shows in Sydney in Melbourne were originally slated to feature Megadeth with Newsted and Volbeat as openers. But a post on the event's website says Newsted has been bumped from the lineup "at the request of Megadeth." Whitechapel has been tapped as Newsted's replacement.
The promoter sheds a little more light on the situation via Twitter. When asked if Newsted's Jason Newsted and Megadeth's Dave Mustaine had an argument, promoter A.J. Maddah's response reads, "Something has certainly gone down although we have no details."
Maddah adds in another tweet that it could be "a problem between managers or agents," not a conflict directly involving the two rockers. And Newsted is still listed on the rundown of performers for the festival, which will begin in Brisbane on February 22nd.

"Bidding Wars" Breaking Out for San Antonio Homes for Sale
The local housing market is so hot that Realtors are reporting that buyers occasionally are bidding more than the asking price, and bidding wars and even one bidder paying another not to bid are not uncommon, real estate agents tell 1200 WOAI's Berit Mason.
"There are lots of times so many bidders that the only way the bidder is going to get the house is to bid over the list price," said Scott Myers, a Realtor with Century 21 Real Estate in San Antonio.
Real estate agents tell of people who want a house so badly they have offered up to $10,000 cash to other bidders to stand down and let them buy the home.
The San Antonio Board of Realtors says fully 97% of homes sold in San Antonio in September sold for the list price, which is very unusual. The supply of homes for sale is down to a six year low, prompting homebuilders to fire up activity. That increases construction jobs, and due to the competition from the booming Eagle Ford oil fields, construction workers are making top dollar in San Antonio.
It makes for a situation which puts homeowners who want to sell in a perfect position.
Myers says the local housing market is so strong, it will take a major shock to dampen it at this point.
"I doubt this will go away until the point where interest rates hit 7%," he said. "Then you'll see a change."
That's liable to be a while. A 30 year fixed mortgage, while up from levels of six months ago, can still be found for 3 1/2%, and with the Federal Reserve not likely to raise interest rates any time soon, 7% mortgages are not likely to be raining on the local real estate industry's parade any time soon.
Myers says home buyers should remember a few simple rules.
"Do your homework, find a Texas Realtor in the San Antonio area who you can trust, and act quickly, because there is going to be a lot of competition."

When it comes to Utah Valley wrestling, think young.
Really young, as in 11 freshmen and 10 sophomores on the 27-man roster. So, there are unknowns the Wolverines begin their dual season Saturday at the Campbell University Duals in Buies Creek, N.C.
On Sunday, Utah Valley will compete in North Carolina State's Wolfpack Open.
Coach Greg Williams, now in his seventh season at UVU, believes his freshmen, nine of whom are coming off a redshirt year, are loaded with potential.
"We know that it is a special group and these guys are going to accomplish some really great things during their time here at UVU," Williams said. "This season will be kind of an unknown for us as we are very young...they haven't really faced tough competition yet."
UVU opens its home season Jan. 4 against Wyoming. The Wolverines also have home matches with Arizona State and Stanford.
Williams does return eight starters from last year's team, which finished with a dual meet record of 6-10 overall and 1-5 in the Western Wrestling Conference.
The Wolverines also have veteran leadership in Josh Wilson, one of the two returning seniors. Wilson, who has been battling injuries to start the season, competed in the NCAA Championships last season at 149 pounds.
At the recently completed Cowboy Open at the University of Wyoming, juniors Abner Cook (165 pounds) and Monte Schmalhaus (174) went 4-0 to claim individual titles.
Even the talent on the UVU coaching staff was upgraded. Williams added Justin Ruiz, recently inducted into the Utah Wrestling Hall of Fame, to his staff. Ruiz was a the three-time Utah state champion while at Taylorsville High School and a bronze medalist at the 2005 World Championships.
"We've never had this much talent in the room before," Williams said. "The program is progressing and we're very pleased with the direction that it is going."
Smith First Griffin Named All-District
Soccer player Ryan Smith was a star in and out of the classroom, the perfect recipe to become the first athlete in any sport from Westminster College to be selected All-District 7.
Smith, a junior from Riverton, scored a team-high nine goals including five game winners with three assists. The education major also sports a 3.49 cumulative grade point average.
To be nominated, the student-athlete must have started or was an important reserve with at least a 3.30 GPA.

Zoo unveils design plans for new tiger and sloth bear exhibits featuring up-close animal experiences and hands-on conservation education
- Fundraising underway, construction to begin in fall 2012 -
Gigi Allianic, Rebecca Whitham206.548.2550 | firstname.lastname@example.com

Woodland Park Zoo unveiled today design plans for new, naturalistic Malayan tiger and sloth bear exhibits. Exhibit features shown here: up close views of sloth bears, tiger napping under a banyan tree, and tigers at a stream.
SEATTLE—Enter the tropical forests of Asia and be immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of a forest teeming with life—endangered turtles, colorful songbirds, squealing small-clawed otters, foraging sloth bears and tigers playing and soaking up the afternoon sun.
This immersive scene will soon be a reality at Woodland Park Zoo. The zoo revealed today plans designed with Studio Hanson/Roberts for a 2-acre exhibit complex—the most ambitious zoo project since 1996's Trail of Vines—that will transform the zoo's 60-year-old, outdated tiger and sloth bear exhibits into a spacious, naturalistic and state-of-the-art home for these endangered species.
Opening in phases in 2013 and 2014, the exhibit complex will use sustainable design to provide tigers, sloth bears, Asian small-clawed otters and other species representing the biodiversity of tropical Asia with a naturalistic, enriching environment that evokes lush forests and encourages natural behaviors. Tigers will stalk "prey" as they chase a lure line, jostle trees to retrieve snacks, nap under the roots of a tropical tree, splash in a shallow pool and care for cubs in a spacious exhibit built to accommodate multiple generations.
To bring the behind-the-scenes care of these animals into the forefront for zoo visitors, the exhibit design includes specialized training stations where keepers will interact one-on-one with tigers and sloth bears. These training presentations will get visitors closer to live predators than at any other exhibit at the zoo, and provide insight into how the zoo safely cares for such large and dangerous animals.
An immersive play area for children will allow young explorers to learn about the forest through joyful, full-bodied nature play—balancing on logs, crossing a wobble bridge, flying along a mini-zipline—all safely designed to stimulate mental and motor skill development while setting the scene of a tropical field site where boundaries between humans and wildlife collide.
To take immersion to the next level, the exhibit will draw you in with the symphonic sounds of the forest. Through state-of-the-art acoustic engineering, visitors will be surrounded by the real sounds of flowing water, wind blowing through bamboo thickets, and even the minutest sounds of the animals—a tiger licking its paws, purring and rumbling as it settles in for a nap.
"We have no doubt our more than one million annual visitors will be in awe of this new exhibit experience that will connect them with hands-on learning and unforgettable, up-close animal encounters," said Dr. Deborah Jensen, President and CEO of Woodland Park Zoo. "But we see that awe as just a starting point, the kernel of curiosity, hope and inspiration that moves our visitors to take action on behalf of wildlife."
Taking action is at the heart of the exhibit with the Conservation Action Center—a covered educational hub where visitors will connect with real success stories from the zoo's field conservation partners, and learn how to take action now to help protect wildlife and the forest habitats on which we all depend.
Artist renderings of the design plans can now be found at www.morewonder.org. The public will have the opportunity to see and discuss these renderings and a scale model of the planned exhibit at upcoming open houses scheduled on Sat., March 31, 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at Woodland Park Zoo's current tiger exhibit (zoo admission or membership required) and Thurs., April 3, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the ZooStore in the zoo's West Entrance (free to all).
Construction for the new exhibit complex is anticipated to begin in fall 2012. The exhibit will be developed in two phases: phase one, including otters and the children's play area, will open in 2013 and phase two, including sloth bears and Malayan tigers, will open in 2014.
The id="mce_marker"9.6 million exhibit project is part of the zoo's $21.86 million Asian Tropical Forest initiative which also includes exhibit enhancements in the zoo's award-winning Elephant Forest exhibit, interpretive enhancements to improve the visitor experience in the Elephant Forest and Trail of Vines exhibits, and related education and conservation programming. The Asian Tropical Forest initiative is one of eight initiatives in the zoo's $80 million More Wonder More Wild comprehensive campaign.
Fundraising for the Asian Tropical Forest initiative is underway now and more than $6 million has already been raised to date toward the $21.86 million goal. Through the zoo's "Get Your Paws on Our New Exhibit" promotion, community members who give id="mce_marker",000 or more to the Asian Tropical Forest initiative will get their name on a paw print featured prominently in the new exhibit complex.
To get your paw, or to follow the progress of the More Wonder More Wild comprehensive campaign and its eight initiatives, go to www.morewonder.org.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
It can be costly enough feeding yourself, much less fueling up a whole family, which is why Tokyo Joe's was such a welcome addition to the Denver dining scene. This homegrown chain cooks up Japanese fare that's a clean, healthy alternative to grease-laden fast food. The tasty bowls, many of which are in the $4 range, feature marinated, grilled chicken and sirloin or steamed vegetables, draped in your choice of curry, Joe's sweet teriyaki, the trademarked hot Spicy-aki, or oyako sauce, a faintly oniony concoction. For another 60 cents, you can switch out the rice for noodles, Asian veggies or tofu. And the kids' meals will bowl you over: A serving of chicken teriyaki, noodles and cheese, or noodle teriyaki, complete with a cookie, costs just $2.70. Have it your way, the healthy way.
Since September 11, we Americans have been self-medicating our depression with foods that remind us of hearth and home, warmer, fuzzier times, and the good old days when you could get on a plane without getting felt up. Mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, roast chicken and Oreos are being consumed in record numbers as we seek out restaurants that comfort the heart as well as the stomach. And you won't find a more comforting place in town than the lunch-only Tom's Home Cookin', which does a fine job with all of our homey favorites (okay, not Oreos, but Coca-Cola chocolate cake is a mighty good substitute). Owners Tom Unterwagner and Steve Jankousky know how to nurture through nature's most soothing comforts: pot roast and cheesy potato casserole, warm cornbread and peach cobbler. Maybe if bin Laden had tried the daily bargain, "meat and two" for $6.45, he'd have had a better outlook on life.
You're a grownup now, and it's time to put the neon orange mac 'n' cheese mix behind you, not inside you. In keeping with its name, Dazzle goes for something above and beyond, serving up a macaroni and cheese that's positively dizzying. Elbow macaroni and four cheeses -- parmesan, Fontina, mozzarella and gouda -- are mixed in just the right proportions so that the noodles are all melty and soft but not too wet or dry; a large bowl of this goodness is evenly covered with buttery breadcrumbs and tossed under the broiler until the top begins to sizzle, then finished off with a smattering of diced tomatoes and fresh basil. So very adult, so very dazzling.
Since chef Goose Sorenson -- formerly of Mel's Restaurant and Bar and Starfish -- took over the kitchen at this difficult address that last year was Ambrosia, things have been looking up. For Solera, the dining area has been reworked to seem more intimate and inviting, and the menu is filled with Sorenson's eclectic inventions, including foie gras on a ginger-snap crust. The standout offering, though, would have to be the mashed potatoes, done two different ways: The roasted-garlic spuds, sweet and toasty, come with the succulent braised lamb and nicely grilled salmon entrees; and the rich, oniony mascarpone mashers accompany the crunchy-skinned Chilean sea bass. Both versions feature such smooth, feathery textures and rich, buttery undertones that we're tempted to head into the kitchen with our spoons.
When the world's going to hell in a handbasket, you'll find us at Bang!, drowning our sorrows in the tangy, beef-rich homemade gravy that comes slathered over Bang!'s juicy meatloaf, a your-mama-never-made-it-like-this gourmet version with plenty of intense seasonings and none of the gristle often found in ground beef. The mashed potatoes (more gravy, please!) and sautéed spinach that come with the hefty slice add to the plate's comforting capabilities. For a warm-and-fuzzy finale, take on a large square of the heavenly gingerbread topped with whipped cream. Bang! -- this restaurant got us again.
Step into Lincoln's Road House, and it may seem as though you're back in the '70s-era wood-paneled basement at your friend's house where you used to sneak beers. But don't let the ultra-casual lounge atmosphere fool you: Behind the bar lurks a kitchen that knows what it's doing, especially when it comes to meatloaf. This loaf is meaty, all right, studded with big pieces of onion for flavor, and it comes sliced an inch thick and slapped on a thin but substantial bun that's been buttered on the inside and grilled. Lettuce, tomato and mayo give extra moisture to the already juicy sandwich; a side of well-seasoned, skin-on fries and a small bowl of homemade macaroni salad round out the meal. Down a few Buds and play something on the jukebox -- which offers King Missile's undeniable classic "Detachable Penis" -- and you'll really feel like you're back in the basement.

Now I am unfamiliar with this error and have not seen it anywhere: Note* I get this either when run as super user, or as root; does not matter.
Also....I have a second question while I am here; when I run wicd manager, as it boots up, I get an error; it tells me that it is unable to connect to the D-bus or something along that line and tells me to check the wicd error log.. I cannot find it anywhere; any ideas as to why this is happening?
I am running BT 5 Revision 3;
It is setup with a 25gb partition on a HDD that also has Windows 7 Home...
If I can give any more info as to solve this issue, ask what you may need and I will post ASAP.
Thanks for your time in advance my friends...

CHARLESTON, WV – Some 6,800 of West Virginia's 7,471 video lottery terminals need to be upgraded or replaced in the next three to five years, according to officials of the state's Lottery Commission.
Buying new VLTs statewide could cost $30 million, said George Carenbauer, an official of the West Virginia Amusement and Limited Video Lottery Association.
In 2016, IGT plans to stop providing parts and service for Game King models, which comprise most of the state's VLTs, according to local news sources. | SEE STORY
By late 2017, IGT said it will obsolete the computer protocol linking those VLTs to the lottery's central computer.
VLT operators and distributors spent nearly $70 million to renew 10-year VLT licenses in 2011.
