(Details and Organization Fanatic)
Dear Hardworking Church Secretary (who wants to not only work hard, but also smart),
Your search for the right tools to help you ignite a "get-more-done" fire at work and in your life has landed you in the right place. I was just like you… searching that is… until I just got fed up. Trying to find quality time management and organization information specifically for church secretaries was like trying to find a needle in a haystack!
About $150 later I realized I had to do it on my own. I had to figure out the best system for me and my pastor.
Don't get me wrong… the stuff I did find was great, but it focused mostly on the spiritual side of things… of course that is always needed, but I am a "good member" and I learn well from my pastor.
I needed help naturally… I needed tangible tools that would produce results at work.
So, I read (and still read) tons of books and websites on time management and took classes intended for "secular" administrative assistants.
I was desperate…
I don't want you to feel like I felt. I knew I wasn't the only one searching. So as a result… this website was born.
And I know that if you're like most church secretaries and assistants, your phone is ringing off the hook, you have a gazillion emails in your inbox and your boss (Pastor) just gave you an assignment that needs to be completed right away… and your day just got started! You're probably screaming "SERENITY NOW" and trying not to head for the hills in frustration!
Don't pack your bags just yet! Give me just 5 minutes of your time and I'll show you the light at the end of your dark tunnel!
When I first started my job as an Executive Assistant, I was a little frustrated. My boss operated completely different than I did and I had to make huge adjustments to the way I thought and worked.
I had to learn not to make assumptions about my assignments because most times she wanted something the opposite of what I was thinking.
I had to learn how to still get my work done even though I was in and out of her office every 5 or 10 minutes. (I'm sure you can relate to that one!)
I even got assigned to write a 90+ page book in only my 2nd week on the job!
Necessity is the mother of invention…
… and for the most part, I was good at organizing and planning… I am an engineer by degree and had been a small business owner for several years. So "getting things together" wasn't the part that was hard for me.
The part that gave me the most trouble was understanding my boss. Was she a morning person? When should I ask her questions? How does she already keep her files? How long should I wait before "gently" reminding her about something I needed? Was she a micro-manager, or did she give assignments and "forget" about them?
These are things that I'm sure you face or have faced too. I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do believe that there is a reason I am the only person to have held my position as long as I have. I do know that my boss and I get along extremely well. And I know that my presence makes her job easier, not harder.
And believe me I don't say these things to brag on myself, because I rely completely on God to help me anticipate her needs and do the job that I do. But that's only one side of it. I also do "natural" things that help me to grow as a church secretary.
What does this have to do with you???
Well, when I was searching for books and other help related to being a church secretary, I couldn't find anything that provided the tangible, "right now implementable" tools or principles that I needed. You know, something that if I tried it today, I'd see an improvement tomorrow. And the fact that you're even on this site says that you're searching too…right?
So I created my own systems and wrote my own book. I took courses intended for "secular" administrative assistants and applied them to my specific industry. I took the time to organize our office for maximum efficiency!
I want to help you do the same thing. I don't want you to be frustrated with your job. I want you to love it as much as I love mine. I want you to be as efficient as you can be because in the end, your success equals Kingdom success!

An unfortunate and rare mishap that took place in the water just outside Dildo Harbour Aug. 5 is still generating buzz around the community, with some calling it a "tragic" accident.
Policy say a speedboat that was under 20-feet long and a 35-foot "leisure craft" collided just outside Dildo Harbour at about 6 a.m.
The three occupants of the speedboat were initially taken by ambulance to the Newhook Medical Centre in Whitbourne, but were later transferred to the Health Sciences Centre in St. John's due to the severity of their injuries.
All three — age 14, 16 and 71 — sustained undisclosed injuries, while the two occupants of the larger vessel were unharmed, authorities say.
There are some conflicting reports regarding the incident, with the Canadian Coast Guard reporting the three injured were thrown from the speedboat into the ocean. However, a news release issued by the RCMP makes no mention of this fact, and several area boaters say the victims appeared to be dry when they were brought to the local wharf following the collision.
The chairperson of the Dildo Harbour Authority, Norman Hornum, said the operators of both boats were experienced seamen.
He also noted the operator of the speedboat did not see the other vessel coming.
"There was a big white boat coming at him, but he just didn't see it," Hornum told The Compass.
Dildo resident David Pretty was on shore when the boats were brought in.
"The larger boat was on its way in when the speedboat was headed out," he explained. "The larger boat slowed down as it seen the other approaching. We do that on the water … go to other boats and see where the fish are biting. He must have figured that's what he was doing."
That's when tragedy hit and the speedboat struck the bow of the 35-footer on its starboard side, leaving an indent and some cracks in the hull. Locals said the speedboat, which was removed from the scene on Tuesday, only had a hairline crack in the bow.
The residents of Dildo were concerned about their injured neighbours but stated the area was just as safe as it was before.
"It was a freak accident," one of many men standing on the wharf said today (Aug. 6). "It's been a long time since boats collided in these parts."
"It's not common for stuff like this to happen," added Pretty, a Coast Guard employee and fisherman.
Local residents confirmed the speedboat's operator is a resident of Dildo and the two passengers were his grandsons who were visiting from British Columbia.

text: Just one more note and then done with this. I was using win32 disk imager or some thing like this. It was very slow and then I ended up getting the error. I used the one from OpenSuse and forget what that one was called but it made the install very fast. I had problems with the first install as it got the uzip error but know it is usually a timing thing. I decided to drop down to the emergency console and install that way. I had to install using vesa that way and then locked up my PC when I tried the ati when it was on vesa. I decided to install again but went through the install process. When it was done and rebooted it came up with wanting to use vesa again so I let it and typing this from with in pc-bsd. When I use lxde it shows that my battery is low even though I am not using this on a laptop. I am using xfce now and the only problem is the toolbar at the bottom I did not install the browser first in lxde so now in xfce it is not mapped any where. I guess I will have to find the executable and what it is called for firefox so I can use this. Over all I like what I see.

THE Institute of Advanced Motoring (IAM) has called for government action to highlight the dangers of using smartphones behind the wheel.
They say attitudes to seatbelts and drink driving have changed dramatically over the last 30 years and halting smartphone use could become a similar success story.
IAM chief executive Simon Best said: "This research shows how incredibly dangerous using smartphones while driving is, yet unbelievably it is relatively common practice.
If you're taking your hand off the wheel to use the phone, reading the phone display and thinking about your messages, then you're simply not concentrating on driving. It's antisocial networking and it's more dangerous than drink-driving and it must become as socially unacceptable."
• 24 per cent of 17 to 24-year-old drivers admit to using smartphones for email and social networking
• Using a smartphone for social networking slows reaction times by 37.6 per cent
• Texting slows reaction times by 37.4 per cent
• Hands-free mobile phone conversation slows reaction times by 26.5 per cent
• Cannabis slows reaction times by 21 per cent
• Alcohol above legal limit but below 100mg per 100ml of blood slows reaction times between 6 and 15 per cent
• Alcohol at the legal limit slows reaction times by 12.5 per cent.

Ever since the first traders settled in the Piazza, Covent Garden has been synonymous with the colourful and lively people of the market trade. It was in the 1660s that the roots of the vegetable, fruit and flower market really took hold here.
With the Great Fire still vivid in the memory, Londoners looked West from the charred remains of this great city and set up the stalls for everyday staples in the new and dashing Covent Garden Piazza.
Every day, for 14 generations, the market welcomed customers through thunderstorms, hurricanes, blizzards and drought and always with the lusty welcome for which it became famous. In over 300 years much happened in the market and every day there were events which blended in to a collective memory. As with any strategic fundamental institution, it was taken for granted that London's best greengrocery was Covent Garden, you'd go to Billingsgate for your fish, Smithfield for your meat and Covent Garden for your vegetables.
By the 1970s, the ravages of time had taken their toll on the market here and the once-proud Piazza had become rather shabby and wearied and so it was decided that the market should relocate to new purpose-built facilities in Nine Elms, Battersea.
In the interval years Covent Garden had a melancholy bittersweetness; a grand old dame fallen on hard times and forgotten by an uncaring public however, all that was to change in 1974 when the Covent Garden Market returned with a tremendous fanfare. After years of consolidation, the market here has again blossomed into an essential destination on the streetmap of London.
Gone are fruits, vegetables and flowers but in their place a mesmerising array of giftshops, clothes boutiques, desirable restaurants and stalls of fancy goods, not forgetting the street entertainers who cut capers to the delight of their audience.

HARROGATE-based Redcentric has won one of four places on a new UK government framework to provide procurement for data-centre space.
NHS and public sector organisations can now purchase hosting services from Redcentric via the North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOE CPC) framework.
Redcentric underwent a rigorous process to win its place on the framework, having to demonstrate excellence across a number of criteria, including mechanical and electrical engineering infrastructure, resilience, carbon footprint, management and support.
Peter Nailer, senior bid manager at Redcentric said: "This is an important and strategic buying framework for us and for NHS organisations. With no colocation hosting services section available on G-cloud, NOE CPC represents a viable way for healthcare departments to access this type of infrastructure service via a buying framework.
"As an existing cloud, managed services and colocation supplier to public sector bodies across the UK, we're delighted that we've been able to secure a place for this lot."
Redcentric already provides cloud and managed services to public sector organisations. , including Heath and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) and Cegedim Rx. It recently won a £5million deal via the G-Cloud buying framework.
Colocation services will enable NHS departments to place their secure servers within Redcentric's UK data centres.
By utilising Recentric's data centre resources, IT managers no longer need to maintain the in-house resource and skills to support servers and data centres.

Redesigning the Fire Hydrant
"A gushing hydrant drenching happy kids is an iconic image of urban summertime. My first 4th of July living in New York was boiling hot and I was thrilled to see the open hydrants in person. It wasn't until several years later that this article from the Times caused me to rethink the excitement of the open hydrant.
The article provided a shocking statistic: at full power an open hydrant pumps out 1,000 gallons of water a minute. Uncapping, or opening, the local hydrant for relief from the heat had never struck me as anything more than a fun, and totally accepted, urban practice that had been going on for decades."

WEATHERFORD, Okla. (11-12-11) – The Northwestern Oklahoma State University Lady Rangers held off Lone Star Conference member West Texas A&M in an exhibition contest on Saturday afternoon in Weatherford, taking down the Lady Buffs, 81-78.
The game was a part of the Southwestern Oklahoma State Classic.
The two teams went into the halftime break with the score tied at 35. However, right out of the gate in the second stanza Northwestern took the lead on a three-pointer by senior Autumn Klugh.
Eventually, Northwestern built the lead up to 16 on a full court push that ended with a layup by Macy Gibson with 11:03 remaining in the game.
The Lady Buffs wouldn't back down. They gradually began chipping away at Northwestern's lead, cutting it to within three points with 29-seconds to go.
Klugh, who was clutch all game long, hit 3-of-4 free throws in the final 29-seconds to seal the game for the Lady Rangers. The Ft. Cobb, Okla., native finished with a game high 21 points.
The Lady Rangers had three other players finish in double figures as Audrey Richmond finished with 12, and Renee Golliday and Ronita Coleman each added 10. Coleman was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field and 2-for-2 from the charity stripe.
In the four regular season games this year, Richmond has averaged 15 points a contest, while Klugh is averaging nearly 10 points a game.
Northwestern continues to shoot well as a team from the free throw line, converting on 22-of-27 shots for 81.5-percent against the Lady Buffs.
On Monday (Nov. 14), the Lady Rangers take to the court on the road as they travel to Wichita to face Friends (Kan.) at 6 p.m. Northwestern has beaten Friends in the prior three contest, last falling to the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference member in 2007.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Calling You Out!
February 25, 2003
By Dennis Hans
Stop what you're doing! I've got something far more important
that you need to do this very instant. Here is your assignment,
if you are. . .
National-security bureaucrats disgusted with Bush,
Rumsfeld, Rice and Powell for distorting and inventing intelligence
to build a case for war:
Go public! We appreciate your anonymous efforts to alert
reporters to the exaggerations and lies about the bogus Saddam-al
Qaeda connection and Iraq's real or imagined WMD. But to have
an impact you need to step out of the shadows. Ten of you
need to go public, under the protection of Senator Carl Levin
and other statesmen enraged at the politicization of intelligence.
Stage a press conference and show, step by step (without compromising
intelligence "sources and methods"), how the administration
"enriches" raw information into pure disinformation.
Ben and Jerry, Hollywood stars, Jimmy Carter and
other wealthy advocates of a peaceful resolution to the Iraq
Establish a "Whistleblowers Fund" to compensate in full any
whistleblower whose career is terminated for the "crime" of
enlightening Americans. It is tragic and absurd for these
officials to remain in the shadows out of financial fear.
In a nation that calls itself a democracy and cherishes the
notion of "informed consent of the governed," we cannot launch
a war that the public would prevent if only the public knew
what a bunch of intimidated intelligence pros know but are
afraid to tell.
Prominent African Americans:
Tell Colin Powell in no uncertain terms that he will be forever
shunned if he doesn't immediately go on national TV and admit
that the case he made at the U.N. was laden with distortions,
exaggerations and lies.
Colin Powell:
Admit that your U.N. presentation was built on this fundamental
falsehood: "My colleagues, every statement I make today is
backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions.
What we are giving you are facts and conclusions based on
solid intelligence." The entire world outside of the fake
world of the U.S. news media now understands just how fraudulent
that statement was. Tell the world the case for war does not
now exist, and ask the world to forgive you for bringing us
to the brink.
Charles Barkley, former NBA superstar and host
of TNT's "Listen Up!":
Repeat in the strongest terms the courageous anti-war stance
you've been articulating for months, and call on all ACTIVE
professional athletes who feel the same to STAND UP and be
Bob Woodward:
Go back and read pp. 124-29 of your 1987 book "Veil: The
Secret Wars of the CIA 1981-1987." Then write a front-page
story about the precise parallels between the corruption of
the intelligence process in 1981 under Reagan-Casey and today
under Bush-Tenet. Then go on Meet the Press, Larry King Live
and ABC's This Week and tell the world that Bush and Powell
have been knowingly, systematically lying to the American
people in an attempt to gain our support for an attack on
"Liberal" columnists at the super-hawkish Washington
Post (Mary McGrory, E. J. Dionne, Richard Cohen):
Develop a backbone (and in Cohen's case, a brain). If you
can't or won't, give up your column to a liberal or progressive
WITH backbone. In your present condition you're worse than
worthless, because you take up prime op ed space in the most
important (but godawful) newspaper in our nation's capital,
and you use it to publish love letters to Colin. There is
no shortage of well-informed, hard-nosed liberals and progressives
- only a shortage of media moguls willing to hire even one.
Journalists based at the U.N.:
Interview Hans Blix, Mohammed ElBaradei and their top aides.
Go over every single assertion in Powell's presentation. Americans
need to know if Blix and ElBaradei's public criticisms of
Powell were merely the tip of the iceberg on Powell's deceit.
(To get motivated, read these analyses by Cambridge University's
Glen Rangwala: "Sixteen
discrepancies between Powell's claims and the evidence of
Blix and ElBaradei," and "The
44 claims made by Secretary Powell to the UN on Iraq, 5th
Feb 2003 - and their evaluation.")
Brian Ross, ABC News investigative reporter:
Your Feb. 14 "20-20" story on Saddam Hussein's vicious son,
Uday, featured comments from Peter W. Galbraith, a former
U.S. ambassador to Croatia and now professor of national-security
studies at the National War College in Washington, D.C. who
today champions the worthy cause of the beleaguered Iraqi
Kurds. Put Galbraith back on the air and ask him to elaborate
at length on what he wrote this
past December in the Boston Globe:
"the Kurds have not forgotten that Secretary of State Colin
Powell was then the national security adviser who orchestrated
Ronald Reagan's decision to give Hussein a pass for gassing
the Kurds."
TV producers who book talking-heads:
Expand your rolodex! Fifty-nine percent of Americans want
the inspectors to be given more time. How about giving 59
percent of your airtime to proponents of that view? Pitting
a rightwing unilateral hawk against a center-right multilateral
hawk - even if he or she is a Democrat - does not a balanced,
representative debate make.
Select minority commentators who reflect the view of their
communities, and if a community is sharply divided, be sure
your mix of commentators reflects that. It's absured to feature
black ultraconservative Raymond Tanter or Arab-bashing Arab-American
Fouad Ajami. Jewish-Americans are sharply divided on Iraq,
but those who get the most airtime tend to be superhawks such
as Richard Perle and Joe Lieberman.
Create genuine balance and diversity by regularly working
into the mix these astute center-to-left critics of the rush
to war: Edward Peck, Glen Rangwala, Phyllis Bennis, James
Zogby, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Rashid Khalidi, Jeff Cohen, Hussein
Ibish, Dennis Kucinich, Stephen Zunes, John Conyers, Eric
Alterman, Noam Chomsky, Rahul Mahajan, Robert Scheer, As'ad
AbuKhalil, Sheila Jackson Lee, Norman Solomon, Ali Abunimah,
Joseph Cirincione and Alistair Millar.
Connie Chung and other celebrity journalists:
Remember how you cross-examined Gary Condit, whose "crime"
was that he didn't immediately tell police every last detail
of his relationship with Chandra Levy? If you can hound a
man who told the truth at every step of that investigation,
how about hounding Bush, Powell, Rice and Rumsfeld? If you
can be a tiger with Condit, you can be a tiger with them.
Need background on how the administration deceives on Iraq?
my dissection of 15 of its "techniques of deceit."
All journalists:
Never use the verbs "think" or "believe" when reporting what
Bush administration officials "say" about Iraq or Saddam.
You do not know what these officials "think" or "believe";
you only know what they SAY they think and believe. Powell
- the most credible administration official in the eyes of
Americans and the world - almost certainly didn't "believe"
that Osama had formed a "partnership" with Saddam when Powell
went before the Senate and selectively quoted from Osama's
latest message, leaving out the part where Osama calls Saddam
an "infidel" whose "jurisdiction . . . has fallen." If the
most credible Bush administration official will deceive so
brazenly - he knew that within hours the complete Osama transcript
would be available worldwide - imagine what the "less credible"
members of this administration are capable of.

On outcome and pace of game:
"I feel exhausted to be honest with you, to tell you the truth I was waiting for a penalty against us or something at the end there. Again, we just demonstrated that we come out to play, but then everything starts happening against us we had to pick it up. The red card to Pablo [Mastroeni] got us up and running again. But the other one to [Guy] Melamed, he slipped, no intent what so ever and they're going to see it when they watch the tapes, but it's too late now. Every game is like the boys are excited and they work their hearts out. It was a defensive drill for the last 40 minutes, we worked it well and you have to give credit to every single one of them, we had to really dig in, it's a professional game and we did what we're supposed to do and I'm very proud of them."
On playing through adversity:
"I'm very proud, the emotions I'm going through right now, we don't need to fight that hard, a lot of stuff happened on the field that was unjustified. It's sad that my players had put up with so much to come out with three points."
On being undermanned:
"We started taking names down, we might have to contact Uruguay or some place else to get players to fill in, I don't know. It's one of the things, we put in Gargan and he stepped up very well for us. That is the good thing about the reserve games, that's where the reserve games come in very handy, the games that they play; we need them for some of the younger kids now to develop, they will be given a responsibility to step in and do the job. I'm very proud, we asked [Jean-Philippe] Peguero to play at right midfielder which he never played in his life. They played extremely hard for 93 minutes and that's exactly what we talked about ... pure concentration and mental attitude for 90-plus minutes and that's what we did." On Cannon's performance:
"Outstanding, outstanding, I said all along that I hope we can get things in order so we don't have to depend so much on him, but he came out like he is one of the best in the league."
On the Galaxy's late flurry:
"It was just a scramble you know, I think that some nights those go in and some nights they don't. I remember Landon (Donovan) point blank and I just put out my toe and that's it, everyone always asks me about my big feet and that's a prime example of making a save with them right there. I'm just very happy to get a result, I think this team needs it, we're tied with Salt Lake and that's the most important thing in the overall picture, we're tied for a playoff spot. We've got some tough teams ahead, but it's good to beat one of the top teams in the conference." On the rivalry with the Galaxy:
"Well you can't really blame the refs out in L.A. for this officiating here, and you don't want to place everything on the refs, but it does seem like every time we play them (Galaxy) the rivalry gets better and I do feel like tonight the red cards and the penalty kick added to it. I'm just glad we got the three points."
On the red cards:
"It's a good thing it was an exciting game and turned out good, because it could've been the worst game ever. I feel for Guy (Melamed), the guy slipped, he slipped and hit the guy."
On the ending flurry:
"It's not a panic especially when you're two guys down, you're just thinking clear it, even if you think there might be a gut open, just clear it and get it out, and we did that very well. Alain Nkong was brilliant from what he is usually used for, which is offense. He played unbelievable defense tonight, everybody played great."
On a possible turning point:
"This is huge, it's the type of game and situation that you build on and if you take nothing else from it, it's that we came together tonight and got three points and hopefully we can go into Chivas and get another three points, but this was a huge three points for us tonight. I just told the guys that we can't say we got screwed by the refs, it's a cliché and we have to step up, we're paid to do this."
On the result:
"You have to give Colorado a lot of credit for defending well and doing what they had to do. We should have played better and found ways to put the ball in the back of the net."
On Saturday's match against FC Dallas:
"It's most important to put this game behind us. If we get a good result in Dallas, we'll be in good shape; we'll be on top of the table and that's what we came here for ... we have to focus on what is ahead of us and put this game in our rear view mirror."
On the result:
"It was one of those nights when the ball was bouncing their way. Whether a ball went off the post like on Cobi's shot or someone got a foot to a cross, we could not get a break all night."
On Saturday's match against FC Dallas:
"We need to learn from this and move forward. It was a hard one to take but we move on to Dallas Saturday knowing that if we get that win, we are in first place."

This is for a friend's birthday lunch.
First and foremost, the restaurant MUST have strawberry lemonade. The kind with made with actual strawberries slices in the drink, not the kind only made with syrup. My friend (who moved here from France a few years ago) just recently had strawberry lemonade for the first time in her life at some random restaurant out of state and is OBSESSED with it... Finding a restaurant that serves this type of lemonade would be a present to her in of itself.
Not too pricey - maybe around $15 an entree. Again, this is for a birthday lunch, so a place that has a reasonably nice atmoshpere would be great.
The restaurant must be within reasonable driving distance from Boyle Heights - e.g. Pasadena, Alhambra, downtown LA, Silver Lake, etc.
Any suggestions?

* Fed easing will add to pressure on BOJ to ease next week * 20-yr sector underperforms ahead of next week's auction By Lisa Twaronite TOKYO, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Benchmark Japanese government bonds firmed slightly on Wednesday with yields creeping towards last week's 9-1/2-year low as investors await the outcome of the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting for clues to how the Bank of Japan may act next week. Prices of 20-year bonds dipped, as investors prepared for next week's sale of that maturity. The Federal Reserve is expected to announce a new round of Treasury securities purchases at the conclusion of its two-day meeting on Wednesday. Half the respondents in a Reuters poll on Friday said they expected $45 billion per month. "I think people expect the Fed to increase their purchases in Treasuries, which is going to lead to balance sheet expansion, in which case the BOJ has to act, if they're going to play catch-up with the Fed," said Shogo Fujita, chief Japan bond strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "If they don't do it this month, it'll be next month, if they do it this month, they'll probably have to do it again in February," he said, referring to the BOJ, which meets Dec. 19-20. The BOJ will most likely increase its asset-buying and lending programme, currently at 91 trillion yen ($1.1 trillion), by another 5-10 trillion yen, sources have said. Japan's election on Sunday is also likely to set the stage for more pressure on the BOJ to take further easing steps. The opposition Liberal Democratic Party is likely to secure a majority in Sunday's general election and push the central bank to do more. "It is unlikely that there will be any big surprise from the election results, so the key event next week will be the BOJ meeting after it," said a fixed-income fund manager at a Japanese asset management firm. Yields on 10-year JGBs slipped half a basis point to 0.695 percent, moving closer to 0.685 percent touched last week, their lowest since June 2003. Yields on benchmark cash bonds ended 2011 at 0.980 percent. Ten-year JGB futures for March ended up 0.05 point at 144.70 point. Yields on 30-year JGBs were flat at 1.895 percent, while the 20-year yield added half a basis point to 1.660 percent. The Ministry of Finance will sell 1.2 trillion yen of 20-year debt on Dec. 18. The ministry will also offer 2.5 trillion yen of 5-year notes on Thursday. The 5-year yield was flat on Wednesday at 0.16 percent. On the data front, Japan's core machinery orders rose for the first time in three months in October, but fell short of forecasts. The JGB market showed no reaction to news that a rocket launched by North Korea on Wednesday appeared to have passed over Okinawa.

I had a Perthese 200cc January 2010 under the muscle. I was a 32AA before and had no breast tissue. I am a 32B now. I am considering removing my breast implants because I dont feel good about them anymore They are too low and together and although I could do a surgery to repair this I would rather have them taken out completely. I am only 20, no stretch marks. I would like to know how this would be performed, would the capsule and pocket be removed? Also how well will they recover after? Thanks
What to Expect From Removing Perthese Under Muscle Implants?
Doctor Answers 2
What to Expect after Breast Implant Removal?
Generally speaking what breasts look like after explantation depends on several factors such as: the quality of skin elasticity (the better the elasticity the better the skin will bounce back), the size of the implants used (the larger the implant the more trouble you may have with redundant skin), and the amount of breast tissue present at this time (which may have changed since the time of your breast augmentation).
Life experience since your breast augmentation procedure, such as pregnancy or weight gain weight loss, will potentially influence the factors discussed above. If you take these factors into consideration and apply them to your specific circumstances you may get a good idea of what to expect after the implants are removed.
Unless the breast implant capsules have thickened and/or otherwise symptomatic, there is no indication to have them removed. On the contrary, capsulectomy can expose you to additional risks.
Consulting with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon in person will be helpful.
I hope this helps.

The implants are usually removed through the origional incision.The capsule should be scored to encourage adhesion.I usually do not remove the capsule.

Of all the applications of plastics, building and construction is the second most important area, with a volume of 23 %, only coming second to packaging applications. Some 9000 billion ? a year are spent in Western Europe for construction applications and the construction activity amounts to 11 million employees or 7% of employment in Europe. If plastics products were made out of traditional building materials, their weight would probably be as much as ten times higher. The average working life of all plastics applications in construction is 35 years but, depending on the specific application, this has a wide variation between 5 years (such as wallpaper) and 80 years (such as pipes).
The oldest plastic products, manufactured on a large scale and used in the building industry (such as pipes), have been in use for 60 years and are still functioning as well as on the very first day. With an assumed average working life of 35 years, there is technical depreciation of 2.85 % per year. Plastics in the construction industry are thus extremely economical with resources. Environmental balance sheets consider not only economical use of resources, but also the cost of maintenance during the life of the applications. Since most plastics are either easy to maintain or require no maintenance at all, they also achieve first-class marks in their life-cycle evaluation.
Compared with alternative materials in the building industry, plastics usually do better in environmental assessments. In addition to saving resources, the low maintenance cost throughout their life cycle and good recyclability of many plastics used in construction have a positive influence on these assessments.
In particular, the materials used in monoplastic building products such as pipes and window frames are recycled at the end of their working life and the recycled product is used in high-quality pipes and window frames as specified in the relevant standards and norms.
In addition to the ecological advantages of plastics, they also make a great contribution to the saving of energy. Plastic foams are used widely for thermal insulation of house walls, floors, roofing, pipes and many other applications. Without such plastic thermal insulation, the high targets adopted by the world community for CO2 reduction would not be realised.
Construction profiles such as window frames achieve high thermal insulation values and energy savings in winter time and, at the same time, these insulation systems protect the building from over-heating in summer. This improves the quality of living accommodation and reduces the need for air-conditioning.
Plastic insulation systems can also make a significant contribution to noise protection and noise insulation, thus again adding to the quality of life.
After pipes and insulation, the third major application area is for wallcovering and flooring. Flooring, in particular those made of PVC, have been in use for 60 years, and have proved their worth in domestic areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, corridors and children's rooms. They have also made a very valuable contribution in public areas, such as hospitals, sick-rooms, operating theatres, schools, municipal buildings, offices and sports centres.
The fourth-largest application area is window frames, which are made almost exclusively out of PVC. This is an application that has developed relatively recently (since only 1965) but it has secured more than a 50 % share of window systems in the major industrialised countries of Europe.
Although the life-cycle calculation for window frames indicates an average life of 40 years, the actual technical end of their working life has not yet been reached and, to date, few used window frames have yet been returned. Recycling of window frames has been developed for incorporating parts of the recyclate in new profiles.
With the exception of insulation and board applications, PVC is by far the most-used plastic in all application areas in building and construction
Plastics also offer glass-like transparency, abrasion resistance, resistance to sunlight, waterproofing, resistance to low temperatures and resistance to acids, chemicals and washing and cleaning agents. These are just a few of the outstanding properties that various plastics can offer in specific applications. Many plastics are reused where their specific properties can be profitably employed.
EuPC's mission is to create a good trading environment for Plastics Converters in Europe.

Christ after the Flagellation, ca. 1670
Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (Spain, 1616–1682)
Oil on canvas
50 1/4 x 57 1/2 inches
Gift of Ellnora D. Krannert 1960-4-1
Given that Bartolomé Esteban Murillo was esteemed in seventeenth-century Europe, it is puzzling that his international reputation faded with relative rapidity. At the court in Madrid, he was overshadowed by Diego Velázquez, though in his own city of Seville he was much admired for paintings such as Christ after the Flagellation. This work dates to the beginning of an important late period in the artist's career, which came to a close when he fell from a scaffold in his mid-sixties. During this stage, Murillo used fewer and fewer colors, and the ones he chose were soft and subtle. Here, he depicts the tortured body of Christ with delicate touches of faint color and gradations of tone and light; the marks of the whips are minimized and the figure, though constrained by pain, collects his garments with dignity. The understated manner in which Murillo treats this potentially dramatic scene is sometimes taken by critics as sentimentality.

Senior stewards and jockeys were united in their praise for the new and improved Sandown racing surface after six trials were staged there on Friday morning.
In early August last year, Sandown underwent a sizeable renovation and six months later it seems the track that shoulders many of the Victorian city meetings has come up well.
Racing Victoria chief steward Terry Bailey, along with senior jockeys Mark Zahra, Michelle Payne and Luke Nolen, were all impressed with the new Sandown surface.
"It was very good probably a little hard but that's to be expected at this time of the year, but the jockeys that rode on it were suitably impressed and we can never not forget the amount of work Sandown takes during the year.
"It's used extensively in the winter months and often they race on very wet tracks where some other tracks might not have been able to put on a meeting.
"But the jockeys were also happy with what they felt and the six trials went on without a hitch," Bailey said.
Smart Doncaster hopeful Speediness looked strong in his trail win and, with Nolen aboard, the sprinter is set for exciting carnivals in Melbourne and Sydney.

MPHRP Launches Pre-Departure Piracy Awareness Training And Showing Of The Film 'A Hijacking' (Kapringen)
The Maritime Piracy
Humanitarian Response Programme ("MPHRP") is a
pan-industry alliance of ship owners, managers, manning
agents, insurers and welfare associations working together
with one aim, namely -:
"to assist seafarers and their families with the humanitarian aspects of a traumatic incident caused by a piracy attack, armed robbery or being taken hostage"
The launch event of MPHRPs Pre-Departure Piracy Awareness Training will be held at the SM Cinema, Mall of Asia, Pasay City Manila on 12th November 2012 at 17.30hrs. Free tickets are available by sending email to email@example.com
The Pre-Departure Piracy Awareness Training for seafarers is designed for approximately 20 participants per session and will be presented in the Philippines in partnership with PAM TIC and shipping and manning companies. The aims of the course include participants analysing the guidelines contained in the Best Management Practice (BMP), being aware of the available resources and documents which give information, guidelines and recommended actions before, during and after a piracy and armed robbery incident, understanding the most common reactions of those affected by piracy and considering what they may wish to share with their family concerning the risks of piracy. The programme is funded by the ITF Seafarers Trust, TK Foundation and the IGP&I.
At the event supported by PTC, PAMTCI and AMOSUP there will be a number of speakers from international and local maritime associations and authorities and following this we will show a new film 'A Hijacking' the story of a vessel which is high jacked off the coast of Somalia and the emotional story of the Cook and the CEO of the company as the negotiations are carried out. Please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcNZsI6-J1I for trailer [below].
The Film is called A Hijacking and has been shown this year already at the Venice and London Film Festivals to great acclaim and will be on general worldwide release in 2013. The film is a Danish made production with Director-Screenwriter Tobias Lindholm, Producer René Ezra, Tomas Radoor and staring Pilou Asbæk, Søren Malling, Dar Salim it lasts 99 mins.

President Obama can't stop talking about the 1 percent of people who he says don't pay their fair share of the nation's taxes. But he should be obsessing about a 1.5 percent — the rotten growth rate produced by the once-mighty US economy in the second quarter.
The slowdown announced Friday — on top of another slowdown in the first quarter — is further proof that the president's class-warfare economic rhetoric and policies are pushing the country perilously close to a double-dip recession.
The numbers are pretty stark: Growth of 2 percent for the first quarter was already scary, down from around 4 percent at the end of last year. A few years out of a stiff recession like the one we had, the economy's normally roaring, not sagging back down.
So the drop to a 1.5 percent growth rate for the second quarter is really quite staggering. At this rate, we could be in double-dip territory even by Election Day, as consumers continue to slash their spending and businesses their investments.
Yet the president either doesn't know or doesn't care that the country is headed right back into recession territory. He's too busy bashing Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital to address what increasingly looks to be unfolding economic calamity.
Of course, Obama promised us hope, change and a robust recovery if we just followed his economic wisdom of massive stimulus spending and "green energy" investments.
And yes, the president will blame Republicans, who won the House in 2010, for thwarting his more recent efforts to spur the economy. Which they have — but who could blame them? It's more of the same stuff that gave us Friday's dismal growth number.

Louis Freeh-Able Danger/WSJ: The Captain Weighs In
Comments from Ed Morrissey:
"In sum, what did the 9/11 commissioners and their staff know about Able Danger and when did they know it?"
That used to be the primary question of Able Danger, but now that we have seen what the DIA has done to the primary whistleblower, the questions have to run deeper than the incompetence of the Omission Commission. The Defense Intelligence Agency stripped Lt. Colonel Tony Shaffer of his clearances over a series of old and bogus charges relating to the use of pens and pads of paper from more than twenty years ago. That effectively ended his career in civilian intelligence work, although it doesn't affect his status in the Army Reserve. The DIA's attack on Shaffer on transparently stupid and baseless points of trivia shows that Able Danger has more than just the bureaucrats of the Commission worried. Why?
Freeh calls for the resumption of public hearings on the Able Danger program and its identification of terrorist cells by Congress as soon as possible. That probably means late January at the earliest if the Judiciary Committee takes the case as it promised earlier. We need to press Arlen Specter and Pat Leahy to fight the DIA and issue subpoenas if necessary. One man has already sacrificed his career for this effort, and that sacrifice should not pass unrewarded.

Lattice Suede Boot
This boot is far too fantastic to be owrn by every day normal people... this is a boot best left worn by Super-Stylish, Futuristic Super heroes! I'm not even going to try to explain what's going on with this boot, so let's leave the explanation in the deft hands of the Urban Outfitters Public Relations Workers, shall we? "There is a lot going on with these soft suede boots and all of it is awesome: geometric cutouts along the sides, metal eyes along the front lacing, a peeptoe and a low covered heel. Finished with a padded footbed and a textured rubber sole." Damn Right there is! Zip! Zang! Zoom! Just don't try to use your super-speed in these or else you might end up having to wear some Ugly Villanous Band-Aids!
High lace-up heel from Deena & Ozzy with cutouts at the sides and multi-stud detailing. Wrapped architectural heel; tonal laces; full lining. Exclusive to Urban Outfitters.
I would wear these platforms by Seychelles with a pair of destroyed skinny jeans, a white/black/or grey tank top tunic and lots of wooden bead accessories. Platforms also come in cognac color. 4" heel. 1" platform. $98.Added 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
These heels are so cute and can be casually which makes them very versatile!Added 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
I saw these shoes yesterday and I love them so much. They are a small heel so they are perfect for tall girls! They also have a silver pattern down the front of the shoe.Added 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
Check out this bootie. You can lace it all the way up or you can wear it folded over. It's got a great high heel and a peep toe!Tags: winter, shoes, boots, heels, black, Footwear, high heels, fall, ankle bootsAdded 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
Lace-up boots are so decadently old fashioned and this one has a solid heel for walk-ability. If Walkability is not a word then that means that I'm coining it right now. Witness history!Added 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
These are going to the top of my boot fetish list! I've been looking for a perfect knee high boot and this is pretty close. I love the stacked heel that's not too talk and the detail two layers at the top. Beautiful.Added 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
Rad. That's how to describe these boots. They've got a peep-toe and twisted cutouts all along the front. The skinny wedge heel is rad and the zip up back is awesome.

Maya Rudolph Pregnant With 4th Child: Report
By JACKIE WILLIS
February 18, 2013
Up All Night star Maya Rudolph has some sleepless nights ahead of her! The actress and The Master director Paul Thomas Anderson are reportedly expecting their fourth child.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the couple's baby news on Saturday though reps have yet to confirm. Rudolph, 40, and Anderson, 42, are already parents to Pearl, 7, Lucille, 3, and Jack, 19 months.
This announcement comes after it was revealed that Up All Night may be leaving the NBC family. THR says the network may not continue the show after it was revealed last week that Up All Night's leading lady Christina Applegate is leaving the program for "creative reasons."
The trade publication adds that the writers planned on writing Rudolph's pregnancy into the show but that is all up in the air as of late.
Would you watch Up All Night without Applegate? Let us know, below.

Our ladies inn of defiance really hurt my family and I. Because I wasn't good enough or without a past they lied to me and my caseworkers and hurt us in court. Even went as far as continuing to spread lied about me to hospital sswrkers and to pat'ers. The amount of pain and manipulation I went through with this religious group was terrifying and I to this day still suffer from their lies. Thank you society. the volunteer and debaters have little clue as to the program or what we go through. When I was there 2 girls were kicked out back on the streets and the bs reason they gave was non compliance When that was not the case. The staff, Denise Angelina, and sadly Hellen to this day speak of me When asked and slander me and hurt my family. Even Anna after I left continued conversation with my caseworkers lying and manipulating paperwork she sent them.
Our Lady's Inn changes and saves lives. Pregnant women and their children are presented with a way to have a positive future. The staff, volunteers and clients respect each other and work together in a wonderful relationship. The guidance provided is "Heaven Sent".
In both of their locations you can feel something very special is happening.
My husband and I have been connected with Our Lady's Inn for many years and will continue to give our support and prayers to all the people involved.
Thank you Our Lady's Inn for helping to make Saint Louis and Saint Charles, Missouri a much better place to live.
As a volunteer, I have seen the love that our women receive as they bring a new life into the world.....It is truly a life saving organization to many homeless, pregnant women.....
As a volunteer I have seen so many successes at OLI. I am in awe of this mission to get pregnant mother to have healthy children and later become thriving productive citizens. One women in particular came to the St Charles location after a job loss with children in tow and 6 months pregnant. I saw how the staff welcomed her first hand. It was as if the woman was a cousin of sister to them. They had already prepared and decorates the private rooms for the mother with enough beds for her children. On another occasion, I saw the children happily playing in the playroom with a babysitter while the mother attended life skills classes.
I am blessed to be on the Board of Our Lady's Inn. It is home to pregnant ladies and their children who are all in need of a loving place to live and people who truly care about them. The ladies receive direction for their future lives and help with their children. The clients are given encouragement that their lives will be better for having been at Our Lady's Inn. The atmosphere at either the downtown or Defiance locations shows precious little ones playing like any child you know. It shows Moms who are happy to see you and are pleased when you and their little ones play or are happy to see each other. I don't know of any organization that can offer the live saving/life changing experiences that Our Lady's Inn gives.
Our Lady's Inn is an awesome facility. The staff is truly dedicated and continuously go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that the client are taken care of. They truly care, this is exemplified from the Exceutive Director on down. What a great facility.
A group of ladies in my church provide lunches and dinners every Thursday at Our Lady's Inn in Defiance, MO for the past 4 1/2 years and we have observed the caring, loving, and instructive counseling that these pregnant ladies receive during their stay for up to a year. Also their other children are welcomed and cared for as well. Personally I was very impressed with one young lady in her journey. One of my high school friends was praising Our Lady's Inn and how they turned her granddaughter around and helped her so much and it turned out to be the young lady that I was especially drawn to and that really impacted my desire to continue to do my part to help the leaders of Our Lady's Inn.
My realationship with Our Lady's Inn (OLI) began in 2006 when I was working for a local school district parenting and preschool program. We provided parenting classes and developmental information to the parents who were staying at OLI. We also encouraged the parents to send their children to our school district's preschool program. When I reitred in 2008, I organized a team of ladies from my church to cook at OLI every Thursday. We have been doing this for 31/2 years. Two years ago, I became a member of their Board of Directors. Each time I am there, I am blessed by what is happening for the ladies who are staying there. Not only are they receiving a shelter for themselves and their children, but they are receiving an education in how to make ends meet in this world. The expectation for having a job or being in school is really helping these ladies receive the necessary skills to gain employment that will enable them support their families. They are required to save a percentage of their pay to plan for their future as they will need down payments and deposits once they are ready to be more independent. The ladies are expected to assume duties at Our Lady's Inn, which makes it more like a family. They support one another well, and I am sure, there are many close friendships that have been formed. It is such a positive and respectful environment, which is exactly what many of these young parents need as they learn parenting skills, etc. As a member of the Board, I have seen the passion that the OLI workers have for what they do. They are all doing good work. Many of us who are pro-life are not really doing much to make it a possible choice for these young ladies, but OLI is doing it and overseeing all that is needed to make pro-life a decision that these ladies can make and know that their lives will be better for it!
I have been a voluteer board memeber for Our Lady's Inn for over 10 years, and continue to be impressed by the dedication and level of service that this agency provides. Each woman is treated as an individual, counseled and supported as her circumstances dictate. Through guided daily living, women are given the opportunity to learn skills and behaviors that will strengthen then and foster their independence. Most importantly, Our Lady's Inn helps each women learn to love and care for herself and her children.
These statistics say why I think Our Lady's Inn is the greatest non-profit:
2011 Our Lady's Inn Program Accomplishments
125 women served (10485 days of care)
99 children served (9534 days of care)
39 babies born in residence (2730 days of care)
It is now in it's 30th year of operation.
Plus, it is a Charity Navigator award winner, so donors know that it's administrative costs are low. Therefore, your money is going to help women and children, not to expensive fundraising or salaries.

The Prophet's Line Family No 3 – Qusayy, Hubbah, and Banu Nadr to Quraysh
Sr. Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood
(Material adapted from her forthcoming seerah the Life of the Prophet)
The Banu Nadr
The immediate line of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was known as the Banu Nadr, taking the name from Nadr b. Kinanah b. Khuzaymah b. Amir (Mudrika) b. Ilyas b. Mudar b. Nizar b. Ma'add b. Adnan.
Zayd/Qusayy b. Kilab, 'the Stranger'
The last of the kings of Khuza'ah, Hulayl b. Hubshiyyah,[1] gave his heiress daughter Hubbah in marriage to the Banu Nadr hero Qusayy b. Kilab, whose line was Qusayy b. Kilab b. Murrah b. Ka'b b. Lu'ayy b. Ghalib b. Fihr b. Malik b. Nadr. Qusayy's mother was Fatimah bint Sa'd b. Sayl (Khayr),[2] a woman with a family interest in the Ka'bah since it was her great-great-great-grandfather Amir al-Jadir[3] ('the builder') of Azd who erected its present wall. She bore Kilab two sons, Zuhrah and Zayd, the latter being born many years after Zuhrah, in c400 CE. His real name Zayd was replaced by the nickname Qusayy – 'little stranger' – because his father Kilab died when he was only an infant, and Fatimah then married Rabi'ah b. Haram of the Banu Quda'ah of Yemen,[4] and shifted with the baby to al-Sham. Zuhrah had already grown up by that time, apparently, and stayed behind in Makkah. Fatimah then had a son to Rabi'ah, Darraj (or Rizah).[5]
Qusayy grew up among the Banu Quda'ah, but when he got into a teenage argument and swore something 'by his tribe' he was bluntly told they were not his tribe - he was an outsider, and had never been fully accepted by his step-father's people. Shocked, he went to Fatimah, who told him who his real father was, and not to worry for his descendance was nobler then theirs and his people lived close to the Ka'bah. Excited, and eager to know his father's people, in c418 CE he left his mother and went to Makkah to seek his fortune.[6] The 'Stranger' was destined to find more than relatives and a new home – the results of this move were to be momentous.
The Khuza'ah monarch Hulayl had a fifteen-year-old daughter amongst his children, the princess Hubbah. Qusayy asked for her, was accepted, and in a short while acquired much wealth and respect, and fathered many children.
Qusayy had four sons by Hubbah - Abd ad-Dar who he dedicated to his house, Abdu'l Qusayy dedicated to himself, Abdu'l Uzzah to his goddess and Abdu'l Manaf to the idol revered by Hubbah. They also had two daughters, Takhmur and Barrah.[7] Abdu'l Manaf's real name was Mughirah, and he also had the nickname al-Qamar (the Moon) because he was so handsome.
Qusayy's talents and character soon established him as Hulayl's favourite, even above his own sons. When Hulayl died it was an easy matter for Qusayy to defeat his rivals and become the guardian of the Ka'bah. Hulayl actually entrusted the keys of the Ka'bah to Hubbah, since she was the Khuza'ah heiress, but as she did not have the strength to open and shut the door herself, she apologised and passed them to her cousin Abu Ghubshan.[8] This man had a weakness for alcohol, and soon bartered them to Qusayy for a skin of wine and a lute. The Khuza'ah princes were furious, but Qusayy called his relatives to his aid, and also gained the support of his half-brother Rizah and the Banu Quda'ah - who regretted the foolish rift they had caused. Thus Qusayy was confirmed as the Guardian of the Ka'bah. The tribe of Khuza'ah was then forced to evacuate after a fierce battle, and Qusayy reigned as king.
He was not just a ruler, but a ruler of considerable merit and enormous fame. Hubbah's house became known as the House of Assembly (the Dar al-Nadwah), and there Qusayy established a peaceful and beneficent rule as the chief (sharif) of Makkah. All the affairs of the Quraysh were discussed in the Dar al-Nadwah, marriages arranged, boys circumcised, caravans sent on their way. He organised a system of charity in which all his wealthy relatives paid a proportion of their annual accumulation and profits over to him, as Guardian of the Ka'bah, so that he could provide food and water for the pilgrims.
Qusayy's wider family, now treated with great respect, began to move their dwellings close to the Ka'bah and built houses in the nearby valley.[9] Qusayy was therefore given the nickname al-Mujammi (the 'uniter' or 'assembler') by his people, and from this time of 'gathering together' onwards his people, the Banu Nadr, were known as the Quraysh, the most likely derivation being from the word taqarrush - 'to gather together' Other suggestions for the origin of the name Quraysh were that it derived from an old tribal totem name for 'Shark' (ie. qirsh), which referred to the hero Quraysh b. Badr of Kinanah, who defeated and put to shame the Banu Nadr, (al-Qarsh never passes by anything without eating it!); or thirdly, they may have been named after Quraysh b. Harith, the storekeeper of Banu Nadr; or fourthly, it may have been taken from a nickname of Nadr b. Kinanah himself, who used to inquire after the needs of his people and help them from his wealth, (qarrasha being 'to inquire after').
Those living closest to the Ka'bah became known as the Quraysh of the Hollow (Quraysh al-Bitah) - the 'Hollow' being the valley or torrent-bed (batha or al-abta) enclosing the sanctuary - and included Qusayy's brother Zuhrah, his uncle Taym, and his cousins Jumah and Sahm. Other Quraysh relatives, who lived further away from the Ka'bah, were called the Quraysh of the Outskirts (Quraysh al-Zawahir).
Qusayy's four sons by Hubbah all became respected chiefs. Although Abd ad-Dar was his eldest son, Abdu'l Manaf was far more respected by the people and deemed more noble and capable. Abdu'l Manaf in fact had every reason to believe he might succeed his father as paramount chief, for there was no fixed tradition of rule of succession by primogeniture amongst the tribes. If the eldest son happened to be inexperienced when his father died (as was frequently the case), the tribe would not jeopardise its existence by having such a man as the new leader. The chief was usually elected by consultation or majlis, and had to be a man of wisdom and sound judgement. He was therefore usually the most respected male in the leading family.
However, when Qusayy died he did bequeath his Ka'bah responsibilities to his eldest son, Abd ad-Dar, although many would have far preferred the leadership for Abdu'l Manaf. Abdu'l Manaf could certainly have challenged Abd-ad-Dar, but he never did - and died without reaching old age.
