Alibaba Group is gearing up to be largest initial public offering of all time … and while that's great news for Alibaba IPO insiders and their Wall Street helpers, all it does for retail investors is increase the odds they'll do something dumb with their money.
Like invest in the latest overhyped IPO.
Never mind that the Chinese e-commerce giant is going public at a time when some very intelligent investors are worrying about overheated technology stocks — even going so far as to use the B-word. (That would be "bubble.")
IPOs aren't geared to work in favor of retail investors, and the Alibaba IPO — which could top $20 billion by a wide margin — won't be an exception.
Indeed, the whole point is to make as much money as possible for current stakeholders — like Yahoo (YHOO) — and their Wall Street underwriters and advisers.
The Alibaba IPO is already one of the most hyped market debuts in recent memory, in league with Facebook (FB) and Twitter (TWTR). With the Alibaba IPO hype going into overdrive with talk of the biggest offering in history, the pull for regular old retail investors might be too strong to resist.
And that would be too bad.
Alibaba IPO: Retail Investors Need Not Apply
That's not to say that Alibaba can't be an excellent investment. As a sort of Chinese equivalent of eBay (EBAY), Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG/GOOGL) all wrapped up into one, Alibaba has impressive top- and bottom-line numbers. That's partly why the Alibaba IPO has been hotly anticipated for years.
For fiscal 2013, Alibaba's revenue grew by more than half to $7.5 billion. (For the sake of comparison, eBay had annual revenue of $16 billion last year.) As for earnings, full-year profit soared 400% to $2.85 billion.
Alibaba dominates e-commerce in the world's most populous country. China's middle class is booming. So is Alibaba. There's no doubt that it's an exciting company. No wonder the Alibaba IPO is projected to give the company a valuation of perhaps $150 billion, making it bigger than Amazon.
But that doesn't make the Alibaba IPO a good fit for retail investors.
First off, overhyped IPOs can still flop. Just look at what happened to Facebook. The Alibaba IPO is unlikely to be a repeat performance — if only because the underwriters and exchanges learned a hard lesson — but current weakness in the tech sector does up the risk.
Besides, retail investors are hardly assured of access to shares in the Alibaba IPO at the prices they want. That sort of thing is reserved for preferred clients.
And if Alibaba stock has a bright future after the Alibaba IPO, surely you can wait before diving in.
So what if you miss an opening-day pop? You might also avoid an faceplant.
Play a longer game, and the upside will still be there.
As of this writing, Dan Burrows did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Disability Issues
Supreme Court Limits Disability Law in Life Threatening Cases
In a unanimous 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court ruled on June 10, 2002, that an employer may choose not to hire a disabled job applicant if the disability renders the job a threat to his or her life or health. The decision carves out an exception to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was first enacted in 1990.
The ruling came in a case pitting Chevron against an employee of one of its contractors. In 1996 the contractor laid off Mario Echazabal, who had hepatitis C, after Chevron requested that he be reassigned. Chevron argued that it was afraid that conditions at the California oil refinery where Echazabal would be working would worsen his condition, and that it could be liable under separate health and safety rules enforced by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA).
Echazabal argued that he was best qualified to make that decision. His lawyers pointed out that OSHA has never penalized an employer for hiring an individual under the ADA who was willing to accept the risks associated with the position.
Section 102 of the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits employers from discriminating against people with disabilities because of their disabilities unless it can be shown that the disability hinders the employees ability to perform the job. The case was Chevron USA, Inc. v. Echazabal (No. 00-1406).

Even Cher Has A Bluewater Comic Book!
Bluewater Productions is at again! This time the publisher is bringing us a comic book about the life and times of Cher. That's right, the Burlesque star is the latest in the company's series, Female Force (which has featured J.K. Rowling, Oprah Winfrey and Sarah Palin). Come December, you can get your hands on your very own copy of the pop icon's graphic novel. Will this be the greatest thing Bluewater has produced? Judging by the cover art, it looks much more promising than say Lady Gaga's FAME issue. Jump below for a closer look.
From the publisher:
Cher is a platinum selling singer, an award winning actress and a performer for the ages. She's one smart cookie who knows a lot and has done it all. Get the skinny on Cher's rise to the status of legend in the upcoming Bluwater comic book "Female Force: Cher" written by New York Times Bestselling Author Marc Shapiro). And the beat goes on.
No word on Bluewater's target audience as we've never known diehard Cher fans to be avid comic book readers and vice versa. Will you be picking up a copy this winter?

Illustrating Science fiction paperback covers
Some of the most enjoyable assignments I've had have been painting science fiction paperback covers. I really didn't illustrate that many, perhaps a dozen or so. I'd love to do some today employing the digital medium, I may do some samples to submit to publishers.
In fact, that's exactly how I got my start in this field. In 1965 I did the above painting as a sample for my New York rep Bill Neeley. He showed the illustration to Curtis Books and they immediately bought it for a cover, I didn't even have to read the book ! I was teaching at the time and used a couple of my students as models. For the foreground figure I used Terry Smith, an automotive illustrator that I was working with at Al Hutt Studios.
A close up detail of what's going on in the background. No models were used for this motley group.
I don't recall reading this book either. On this cover for Ace I used myself as the model. I have no recollection of just what those glowing round things are, but they were done with an airbrush. These covers were all painted with Windsor and Newton Designer's Colors.
Another fun cover for Ace Books, again, I wish that I had painted more of these, but I was very busy at the time with advertising assignments which paid much higher fees. These covers were painted with quite a bit more background than you see on the final printed cover. This was required so the art director could crop the art as he chose, to allow for lettering and other issues.
For models I used my wife and myself, Jeanne became pretty good at shooting Polaroid photos of me when I posed. This type of assignment was a nice diversion from the hard-boiled world of automotive illustration.

Haha! Very cool. I used to read the Witch World books when I was a kid. I had (maybe still have) the one you've shown. If I remember right, there were a few more with similar styles. Did you do any others in the series?

Hi Jason,
No, I didn't do any other covers in that series, I would have loved to have illustrated more, they were fun to do. I was working pretty steady in advertising art at the time and only painted a limited number of paperback covers.

What ever happened to the original paintings?Was your artwork returned to you or was it simply discarded by the publisher after the covers were printed?

Sorry to get back to you so late, I haven't checked my older blogs for a while. I don't know what happened to the original artwork, it probably was thrown away as was most of the work at that time.

I use the NivoSlider plugin for my slideshows and every time I implement them on my websites ( I have three of them) There is this annoying flash or blink right before it advances onto the next slide.
I have no idea why this happens. Does it have something to do with the order I place the JS or CSS files for the slider?
Both links work OK for me; I would try reducing the size of the image file and see it still happens.
You didn't see any of the slides "flash" as they transitioned to the next slide?
No it was nice smooth transitions - bars and wipes.
As I say try reducing the image size and see what you get . My tests were on Windows 7 IE9 or 10 ( I can not remember what I have now ) on super doper fast broadband at work.
All is OK at home on a similar setup.

Students and teachers of the United
Methodist License for Pastoral Ministry School
gather in the amphitheater on the Lindsey Wilson College Campus
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Shannon Blosser
received a great theological education at Asbury (Ky.) Seminary.
Last week at Lindsey Wilson College, he received a great practical
education about how to translate what he learned in seminary to his
everyday work in a church.
Blosser, of Mackville, Ky., was one of almost three dozen
future leaders of The United Methodist Church who spent a week on
the LWC A.P. White Campus attending the United Methodist License
for Pastoral Ministry School.
"Seminary teaches you the theology, this teaches you the
practicality," said Blosser, who ministers churches in Boyle and
Washington counties.
The weeklong school -- sponsored by the Kentucky Annual Conference
of The United Methodist Church -- certifies laypersons to
present sacraments in their assigned United Methodist churches. For
some of the students, the school will enable them to have expanded
responsibilities in their home church; for other students, the
school is a step on eventually becoming pastor of a
This was the 13th time in the last 14 years LWC has been the
site of the the school.
"We love working through this process with people who are
answering their call," said Mary Lou Stephens of Richmond, Ky., who
was one of the four leaders of this year's school. "We love working
with them and struggling with them to answer their
The 35 men and women who attended the school from May 27-June
2 at LWC experienced an intense week of education that included
everything from wrestling with theological questions to learning
how tax laws affect churches.
"We have spirited debates and discussions that make for some
very long days," Stephens said. "We've talked about some hard
things, yet we've come out unified around Christ and what he has
called us to do and how to serve his church."
Blosser said the school also helps individuals build and
expand a network of contacts.
"It's great opportunity to meet your fellow brothers and
sisters who will be serving the church with you for many years to
come," he said.
This year's school attracted students from all over Kentucky
as well as from Illinois, Indiana and Texas.
After researching the school and LWC on the Internet, Jan
Shaulis made the eight-hour drive from Oak Forest, Ill., to
Southcentral Kentucky.
"It looked like an attractive program to be in that was also
located in an attractive place," she said. "What I like about this
school is that it gives you the practical food that you need to
work in the church. And they've done it in an informational way
where you feel like you are walking away with a book that is going
to help you."
The students in this year's school also came from diverse
backgrounds -- lifelong United Methodists as well as Christians who
had recently joined the church.
One of those students who recently joined the church was Dee
Decker Huey of Louisville, Ky. An assistant pastor at Revolution United
Methodist Church in Louisville, Huey said the school at LWC was
an excellent way to prepare for enrollment in Louisville
Presbyterian Seminary.
"It's been really great to spend time with people who are
wrestling with the same questions and concerns," she

Otherwise, if we're going to > have c_int and c_long, it only makes sense to have c_long_long as well. The C standard is completely irrelevant to D, and should not be considered. The C 'standard' is a guideline at best. I've worked with so many compilers over the years that fail, or ignore the standard in all kinds of ways. Their decisions towards the declaration of these fundamental types is a classic fuck up on lots of compilers. I can't trust anything in D defined to be "what c says".. if it's not defined and guaranteed by D, consider it as not-portable, and you'll probably need to start aliasing your own types inside super-portable libraries; version the hell out of it for every compiler you can find, just like C libs do. (Hello GLint (OpenGL), hkFloat(Havok), DWORD (windows), etc... can you think of a single super-portable library that DOESN'T redefine its primitive types?). As D cross compilers become more and more common, or other D compiler implementations begin to appear, the magnitude of the error will get more and more obvious, and also the longer it's left, the more impossible it will be to change. GDC takes its types from GCC verbatim, and they'll be every bit as broken as they would be in the corresponding C compiler. I just want D to define its types (including pointer (u)int, and native (u)int) explicitly in the D standard, and try and enforce it somehow to the tragedy never appears in D. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Tympanic Membrane Perforation:An Unusual Complication of Varicella-Zoster Virus Infection
Tympanic Membrane Perforation:An Unusual Complication of Varicella-Zoster Virus Infection
Primary infection with varicella- zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox, whereas reactivation of latent VZV causes herpes zoster (also known as shingles), typically a localized infection confined to one dermatome or adjacent dermatomes. Both types of infection are known to have a vast array of presentations and complications among HIV-infected patients.
Case report
A 38-year-old man with stage C3 HIV infection and hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection and obstructive sleep apnea presented with a painful rash on the left cheek that had a distribution consistent with the third branch of the left trigeminal nerve. The patient was given famciclovir and gabapentin for management of presumed zoster, which was confirmed by a direct fluorescent antibody test.
Two days later, the man returned to the clinic with left ear pressure, pain, and diminished hearing. Physical examination revealed a temperature of 37C (98.6F), a blood pressure of 128/68 mm Hg, and a heart rate of 83 beats per minute. The vesicular lesions that were noted on the left side of the face 2 days earlier were still present and several new lesions had developed on the left portion of his scalp. The patient did not experience visual symptoms and no lesions developed on the tip of the nose. No facial asymmetry or weakness was present. The left tympanic membrane was bulging, and a hemorrhagic middle ear effusion was discovered (Figure).
image shows a bulging
tympanic membrane
with hemorrhagic
middle ear effusion.
Findings from an examination of the right ear were unremarkable. An otolaryngologist visualized a normal external auditory canal and a bulging, erythematous tympanic membrane with an effusion that did not appear to be purulent. An audiogram revealed mild conductive hearing loss in the affected ear and normal hearing in the other ear. A tympanogram was not obtained because of the patient's ear pain.
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid was prescribed to prevent secondary infections. The otolaryngologists chose noninvasive management, but they planned to reconsider tympanocentesis if symptoms did not improve.
The following day, the patient returned to the clinic complaining that blood had drained from his ear during the night. On examination, a small slit perforation, with scant amounts of drainage, was found in the tympanic membrane. Attempts were made to culture the drainage but insufficient fluid was obtained. No vesicular lesions were noted within the canal.

Rabbit Of Seville (1950) – Looney Tunes Theatrical Cartoon Series
The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra is tuning up for "The Barber of Seville" when the perennial rabbit hunt lands Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny on stage. Bugs takes over the opera at Elmer's expense.
The raised curtain gives Bugs the chance to shave Elmer within an inch of his life to the opera's famous overture. Razor flying, Bugs hacks away at Fudd's face (which looks as if it "might have gone through a machine") covered with a frothy milkshake of shaving cream.

It's grim outside, work may be feeling miserable – and, let's face it, that "slim down" resolution you made on New Year's Eve seems like a long time ago...
If you're finding the biscuit jar just too hard to resist, despite your best intentions, you're not alone. More than a third of women currently on a New Year's diet are secretly cheating, according to studies. And for most of us this is not our first brush with a diet disaster – with close to 90% of us admitting to failing on previous January healthy eating plans.
But success is in your grasp. It's simply a case of knowing how to tackle the most common problems that can derail your diet.
Read on to ensure that 2010 is the year you finally stick to your resolutions…
(1) Diet Derailer: You've set unattainable goals
If you really think you're going to: a) lose three dress sizes in a month, b) never eat chocolate again or c) spend two hours at the gym every day, you're setting yourself up for failure.
"People often plan to lose far more weight than is realistic in a short space of time so they become despondent," says Rachel Cook, dietitian and British Dietetic Association spokesperson. Get back on track: Set smaller targets
Have achievable, short-term goals. "Be realistic and aim to lose one to two pounds a week. It might not sound much but that's actually a stone every six weeks," says Rachel.
(2)Diet derailer: You're bingeing in secret
Over a third of dieters hide food, according to new figures. Handbags and drawers were found to be favourite places to stash supplies. Some women also admitted to eating junk in their car.
Get back on track: Have a food amnesty
It's time to clear out those stashes of crisps and chocolate. Replace them with healthy alternatives, such as nuts, oatcakes and fruit, so you won't be tempted to eat in secret. And next time you're on your own and you grab something fattening to eat, ask yourself: "Would I eat this if someone else was in the room or would I be too embarrassed?"

(3)Diet Derailer: Your partner eats pizza in front of you
Your other half may be unwittingly ruining your chances of success, as it's nearly impossible to exercise restraint when someone tucks into a calorie-packed meal right in front of you.
Get back on track: Ask for his help
It might seem like he's deliberately tempting you by bringing home that tub of ice cream but it probably hasn't crossed his mind that his behaviour's making things difficult for you.
"You must be honest with the people around you, as you need their support," says Rachel. "Dieters' partners are often mortified if they realise they've been sabotaging their efforts."
You need to directly ask your loved ones not to give you food as gifts and to eat any calorie-laden food when you're not around.
And why not get your man involved in your new, healthy regime? That way you'll both feel the benefits and you'll be able to support each other and make changes as a team.
(4)Diet Derailer: You can't resist munching between meals
Preparing and eating healthy meals is one thing, but many of us slip up by neglecting to buy healthy snacks to satisfy between-meal hunger pangs.
According to research, energy dips at 11am and 3pm are key unhealthy snack triggers.
Get back on track: Factor in healthy snacks twice a day
Rather than restricting yourself to just three meals a day, enjoy a healthy mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack, such as an oatcake with peanut butter, carrot sticks with low-fat hummus or a piece of fruit.
This will keep hunger at bay and your blood sugar stable, helping combat any cravings.

(5) Diet Derailer: You slipped-up so you gave up
"Okay, so you went out for a meal with friends, you ate chips and had a glass of wine, that in itself, isn't the problem," explains Rachel. "The problem is when you think: 'I ate too much on Friday, so I may as well carry on all weekend'."
Get back on track: Ditch the all-or-nothing mentality
Don't use slip-ups as an excuse to give up. Just move on. A study from the International Journal of Obesity found that people with a flexible approach to eating – one that allows for some "bad foods" – were more likely to maintain their weight loss than dieters with an all-or-nothing strategy.
(6) Diet Derailer: You can't stop comfort eating
"Lots of people eat for emotional reasons," says Rachel. "Whether it's because they're fed up, lonely, or had a bad day at work."
If this sounds familiar, you may be an emotional overeater.
Get back on track: Choose food-free pick-me-ups
"You need to prepare for times when your emotions make you want to turn to food," says Rachel. "It's important to have strategies in place and activities to distract yourself from comfort eating, such as phoning a friend (because you can't talk and eat at the same time) or painting your nails.
(7) Diet Derailer: You're telling yourself fibs
Research shows that when people are asked to write down what they ate that day, they always leave things out – even when they think they're being honest! If you're doing the same, don't be surprised when you don't lose weight.
Get back on track: Be honest
Keep a truthful food diary to help you keep track of what you've eaten, and have it handy to write in EVERY time you eat – not at the end of each day when you've probably forgotten. If you're honest you can easily spot and deal with recurrent problems – such as picking at the kids' leftovers – and put strategies in place to avoid temptation the next day.

(8) Diet Derailer: You've discovered you're a gym-phobe
You set out to do 30 minutes on the treadmill each day but now the very thought of it makes you sweat. Sadly, a healthy diet and exercise go hand-in-hand and it's only that combination which gives great results.
Get back on track: Find the right exercise for you
Remember that hitting the gym isn't the only way to shape up. Find an activity you enjoy so it's easier to stick to. Look for local sports teams or dance classes, or simply fit exercise into your daily routine by vacuuming with a bit more vigour or power walking to work.
(9) Diet Derailer: You're too busy for healthy meals
When you want something cheap and quick it can be oh-so tempting to turn to microwave meals or fatty takeaways.
Get back on track: Pick healthy cheap eats
If you know your weakness is Chinese or Indian food, throw out the menus and delete their number from your phone. You're less likely to eat them if they're not so easy to get hold of! Add a few speedy low-fat suppers to your cooking repertoire. Chopping and stir-frying any veg you've got in the fridge with soy sance and noodles takes seconds.
Or have pasta with a sauce made from a can of chopped tomatoes, mushrooms and garlic. Visit www.lovefoodhatewaste.com for healthy, low-cost ideas on what to cook with whatever you have left in your fridge.
(10) Diet Derailer: You've got health food fatigue
"Anyone who tries to stick to a diet of salads and jacket potatoes with cottage cheese, is destined to diet failure, because let's face it – they're pretty boring foods to eat every day," says Rachel.
Get back on track: Spice it up
"The key is to keep eating foods that you and your family love," says Rachel. "Otherwise you will always revert back to your old bad habits. So if Shepherd's pie is a family favourite, you can still eat it, just tweak the recipe. Use half as much lean mince, half the baked beans, and fill half your plate with steamed green veg so you're eating a smaller portion."

UC research into better supporting New Zealand low-wage work
UC research into better supporting New Zealand low-wage workers
May 20, 2014
New Zealand's work-family law favours middle class mothers, University of Canterbury business lecturer Associate Professor Annick Masselot says.
However, work-family conflict was not the sole prerogative of middle class women. Low-wage workers (men and women) often had demanding family responsibilities which could make managing a job and family extremely challenging, she says.
The law on work-life reconciliation in New Zealand has mostly concentrated on addressing the issues faced by professional women until now. However, there is no reason why such law and legal institutions should only be utilised by some women.
``A whole range of workers need to be able to access provisions to facilitate work and family obligations. This project looks at the under-use of the existing work-family legal institutions and aim to broaden the use of the law to make it more effective for a whole range of people.
``Our research project is not saying that women - professional women or middle class women - have achieved a balance between work and family obligations either. It remains a struggle for them and the law needs to be improved for them and for others so that they can manage.
``Legal institutions designed to facilitate the reconciliation of work and family life in New Zealand have not been holistically designed or evaluated in terms of their ability to support low-wage workers in remaining in work.''
The Low Wage Workers Project is a joint initiative involving the University of Canterbury's Associate Professor Masselot and Dr Sanna Malinen and Victoria University researcher Dr Amanda Reilly. They will investigate how legal institutions can better support low-wage workers in work-family reconciliation.
Their goal is to generate practical recommendations both for law reform and on how low-wage workers can be better supported within the existing framework.
``Research shows that low-wage workers with family responsibilities are not a homogenous group. One size does not fit all. While some recommendations may be general, others have to be tailored to specific groups.
``Women and Maori are over represented in the low-wage worker category and often this is related to their family care responsibilities. Older people are also a growing group of low wage workers who may also be caring for grandchildren and / or partners.
``Consideration must also be given to employers' needs for stable performance levels. Social and demographic changes including increasing female employment rates, the ageing population, and evolving workplace arrangements mean that work-family reconciliation is a problem for a growing number of workers.
``This is a view supported by a range of community groups, unions, employers and employer organisations, and members of the legal profession who have agreed to support the project.
``New Zealand's economic goals include improving employment rates, reducing dependence on benefits and making full use of New Zealand's talent pool. Low wage workers with family responsibilities need, and deserve, improved support so that they can contribute to these goals,'' Associate Professor Masselot says.

Accident Info-Gram
January 2009
The location where the track-hoe crossed the cable was on the northeast side of the drill rig. A 2-inch by 6-inch board and a 2-inch by 10-inch board, covered with a sheet of plywood, were used to make a cable crossing. The crossing point was also on a grade, and when the track hoe crossed the high-voltage cable, the track hoe, boards, and plywood slid on the cable. This damaged the outer insulation on the cable, slid the shielding back on one phase conductor, and damaged the inner insulation on one phase. This damage resulted in a phase-to-ground fault on the cable.
Various locations where the injured person was reported to be working were checked, and all were found to be properly grounded. The 7200 VAC phase-to-ground current flowed from the cable into earth via various return ground paths. This exposed the victim to a voltage differential between the frame of the drill rig and the earth, which resulted in an electrical shock. The ground fault relay caused the circuit breaker protecting this high voltage circuit to de-energize the circuit in ½ second (47% of one cycle). This limited the victim's exposure time to the voltage differential.
The individual did not receive any burns from the electrical shock, and witnesses stated that the injured person's right hand and right leg were drawn. The victim was sent to the hospital for observation, released, and returned to work after two days.

From the top of St. Mary's glacier head NW across an alpine meadow and then drop down into the cirque on the east side of James. Head SW and go around the south side of James Peak lake. Climb the scree slope up into the bowl half way up the eastern face. The climb begins up the obvious, deeply inset couloir on your right.
Route Description
Once in the couloir, the route is obvious. Follow the snow slope up. Depending upon the time of the year, the entire couloir may be snow filled or there may be sections of rock to climb. The rock sections are rated 5.4 in Roach's guide. The crux of the climb is at the top where a cornice may be present. This can be avoided by heading right onto the rock about 100 feet from the top. The top of the couloir empties out onto the hiking trail running up the NE ridge. Head left about 400 yards to the top.
Essential Gear
Crampons and ice axe are a must. Do not use a rope without snow protection such as pickets. The rock sections could be protected with a rack of nuts and a few hexes.
Miscellaneous Info
If you have information about this route that doesn't pertain to any of the other sections, please add it here.

By Ijaz Chaudry
Dear brothers and sisters, following Quran in pursuit of Islam is the only correct way. Time and time again Quran stands superior to all other religious material. If one follows Quran as his/her religious guidance, one cannot be wrong. Quran brings Islam into 21st century and in many occasions correspond to the science today. On other occasions when it does not correspond to today's science it gives true and better understanding of the scientific facts.
How far is Heaven from Earth? This question has been answered by using today's science, Quran and the Miracle of 19.
The following verse talks about how long angels take to reach high heaven where God is, although He encompasses all Universes;
[70:4] The angels, with their reports, climb to Him in a day that equals fifty thousand (your*) years.
[70:5] Therefore, you shall resort to a gracious patience.
[70:6] For they see it far away.
[70:7] While we see it very close.
*Missing word "your" or Kama gv 50, 70 4 5 6 7 50 = 3708250 x 19, this code confirms that angels travel to High Heavens in a day which equals 50,000 worldly years. Thus humans see it as a long time therefore God asks the believers to be patient while angels see it close. **Al-Muzzammil
We know from science today that there are cosmic constants, which remain the same until the end of world. One such, cosmic constant is the speed of light. This constant is particularly interesting because science has proven that no one of this world can exceed the speed of light. However it has been recognised that particles associated with atoms can move instantaneously from A to B. Bodies larger than atoms are restrained by the speed of light. The simple reason for that is that the speed of light remains the same no matter what speed one is travelling at. For example if you are travelling at 50% of the speed of light, now if you envisage the speed of light from this traveller, the speed of light remains the same. Thus no matter how fast one travels, the speed of light will be faster. Thus the speed of light remains constant.
Since Quran have been revealed for the earthlings, these cosmic constants are also true for all of us and the Quran recognises this fact. Therefore for this article we can only expect the humans to travel near speed of light when travelling from earth to the high Heavens but not higher than the speed of light.
Now basic maths is used to calculate the distance from earth to high Heaven. In the book "Why Does E=mc2?" by Brian Cox & Jeff Forshaw, on page 55, the authors give an example of travelling to Andromeda Galaxy which is 3000,000 light years (light year is distance travelled at the speed of light in a year) away from earth. According to this example it takes 50 years travelling at 99.999999% of the speed of light to travel to that Galaxy. Thus the simple math's work out like this; It takes 50 years to travel 3000,000 light years, then it will take 3000,000/50 light years to travel in 1 year which is 60,000 light years, it concludes that for 50,000 years which was the time taken by the humans to travel to high Heavens in (70:4) the human would travel 50,000 * 60,000 = 3000,000,000 light years. Thus the high Heaven is 3 billion light years away.
According to the science the estimation for the furthest galaxy in the Universe is 14 billion light years. This fact has been corrected by the Quran. The science has estimated this value whereas Quran has proven it by the word of God and basic constituents of nature .i.e. the speed of light constant and basic maths.
Now how do these verses can be proven to be linked with this time limit to reach the high Heaven? The Miracle of 19 can be used for this proof. When we add the chapter, verse numbers (70:4-5); where this phenomenon is mentioned and the time (3 billion light years) we get; 3000,000,000 + 70 + 4 + 5 = 3000,000,079. When we divide this number by 19 we get complete multiple of 19 which is 157894741 x 19. This proves that this time is directly associated with these verses. Thus the distance from earth to high Heaven is 3000,000,000 light years. Quran has brought Islam into 21st century, by using the tools of this century, i.e. the speed of light and basic maths. I would at this stage like to put this figure in meters. To do that first we need to find number of seconds in a year. Which calculates as days in a year x hours in a day x minutes in an hour x seconds in a minute; 366 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31622400 seconds constitutes one year in seconds, then we need to multiply the speed of light with 31622400 seconds to find out how many meters does light travel in a year. To do this we use a simple equation distance = speed x time. We know the speed of light to be 299792458 m/s and time taken to in a year is 31622400. Thus the product is 2997922458 x 31622400 = 9.480150314 x 1016 meters. This is a very large number with 17 digits. Now we need to multiply this with 3 billion light years to find out the distance from earth to high Heaven because it takes 3 billion light years to do that. This number is 2.844045094 x 1026 meters. This number is extraordinary large with 27 digits. From this article we can infer that God has made the Universes in such a way that it can be counted by humans within the context of the Quran and basic maths.
I believe the following few verses from the Quran are referring to Cosmic Constants;
[41:12] Thus, He completed the seven universes in two days, and set up the laws for every universe. And we adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and placed guards around it. Such is the design of the Almighty, the Omniscient.
The above verse is general verse talking about laws of nature and that every Universe has laws, such as in this Universe we have Milky Way Galaxy inside this galaxy we have a Solar System which includes Earth which rotates around the Sun. This law is specific to this Universe and similar laws are for other Universes which are unique to those Universes.
(55:5-12) The sun and the moon are perfectly calculated. The stars and the trees prostrate. He constructed the sky and established the law. You shall not transgress the law. You shall establish justice; do not violate the law. He created the earth for all creatures. In it there are fruits, and date palms with their hanging fruit also, grains and the spices.
The above verses are specific to this Universe. As I understand it the "law" mentioned in (55:7) is the law or Cosmic Constants. (55:8-9) One meaning of the word "violate" is "fail to agree with" which fits in well above. One meaning of the word "transgress" is "act in disregard of laws" which fits in well above. Establish means "set up or found", or "set up the validity of by example or experiment". Justice means "the administration of law; the act of determining rights and assigning rewards or punishments". In (55:9) where it says "You shall establish justice", when using the definitions described for "establish" and "justice" above, it makes perfect sense that God is asking and guiding us to find the Cosmic Constants through example and experiments like Einstein did to find the theory of relativity and the cosmic constant speed of light. It is recommended to agree with these Cosmic Constants and not to disregard them if we want to be successful.
Finally I want to reconfirm the figure 50,000 years as our time taken to get to High Heaven which is 2.844045094 x 1026 meters away. We know from above that there are 366 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31622400 seconds in a year. When we multiply this number with 50,000 years we get 1.57248 x 1012 and when we include return journey we get 3.14496 x 1012 seconds.
Now using entirely different method we calculate how many seconds it takes to travel to High Heavens and back. Time taken = 1 + 10 x gh/c2. Where g is gravity 10 ms-1 approx. h is the how high we went = 2.844045094 x 1026 meters and c2 is speed of light squared or 3.00 x 1016 approx.
But first we need to convert these values from meters to millimetres which are to add 3 zeros to above values. The values are calculated in mms because of the graduation of the clock, where each tick is 1 mm in length.
Time taken in mms which equals seconds using this formula 1 + 10 x gh/c2 = 1 + 10,000 x 2.844045094 x 1029/ 9 x 1019 = 4.1600501 x 1012 seconds!!!
Thus this value 4.1600501 x 1012 seconds and the value calculated above 3.14496 x 1012 seconds are approx. similar figures. This thus confirms the distance from here to High Heaven to be 2.844045094 x 1026 meters as calculated earlier. This fact has been verified by two different methods.
So if the angels travel the distance of 2.844045094 x 1026 per day how many meters per second does it travel at. 2.844045094 x 1026 / 60 x 60 x 24 = 3.291718859 x 1021 m/s. whilst the speed of light is approx. 3.00 x 108 m/s the speed of the angel is nearly 3 times the speed of light.
Glory, be to God!!!

A YORK family's home is bursting at the seams this year after they defied odds of 200,000-to-one to celebrate Christmas with TWO sets of twins.
Earlier this year, The Press revealed proud parents Emma and John Power had welcomed another set of twins to go with their six-year-old boys, and they are going all out this Christmas.
Emma, 25, said it had been a crazy build-up to Christmas as not only had she Connor and Kyle to deal with and buy for, but also twin daughters Ruby and Jessica.
School kitchen assistant Emma said that although their two-bedroom home in York was going to be packed to the rafters she is over the moon that her parents have arrived from Australia to share the festivities.
She said: "It's so busy with two sets of twins so I''m glad my mum's here as there would have been no decorations.
"It has been very hectic trying to take all four of them to see Santa. I'm not sure if the girls really knew what was happening but it was brilliant just to see their reactions. Connor and Kyle loved it of course.
"Getting presents is difficult for twins. Last year I got the boys different things and they didn't stop arguing so this time they are getting the same.
"It's a bit early for the girls, but I think they will probably be the same.
"You just have to make sure there is two of everything.
"All the work will be worth it though because this is going to be our best Christmas ever.
"It's expensive, but it has to be the best day ever, especially for the girls.
"If I am being honest, the best present I could ask for is a rest."
After being told by doctors there is a good chance she could give birth to triplets if she got pregnant again, Emma declared "not a chance", she doesn't think she and fishmonger husband John could handle anymore.
"I have got everything I wanted. I wanted a little girl and I got two."

Community > Other Toy Lines
Anyone collect other 1970s & 80s toy lines?
(1/7) > >>
Anyone into any other 70s & 80s toy lines other than Star wars? I collect a ton of lines including Transformers, GI Joes, He-Man, Thundercats, Blackstar, Shogun Warriors, Megos, Power Lords, Sectaurs, Robotech, Voltron, Crystar Silverhawks and others. I have a whole room full of these figures (along with my Star Wars stuff). I will have to take some pics one day and post them.
I am not sure if I can post this link (so moderaters please edit it out if need be). Anyone interested in discussing, buying, selling & trading other 70s & 80s figure lines check out the Action Figure Archive Forums. Feel free to sign up, post and meet other collectors of 70s & 80s toys.
Well I used to collect:
Silver Hawks
Tiger Sharks
Super Friends
Secret Wars
Ninja Turtles
Those were the main ones.
I used to also buy:
Captain Power
G.I. Joe
Jesse James:
I have a fairly hefty Starcom collection. Not sure if you're familiar with that line or not 10", but it was one of the most innovative toy lines (IMO) of the 1980's.
Incredibly structred and realistic too, and even had a cartoon series that lasted a little while (very good too). I've bowed out of the hobby for a while... It's relatively inexpensive to collect though, and unless you're going for the rarer stuff (European releases and such) then it's pretty easy to obtain a "complete" U.S./Canada collection.
inadvertent imitation:
I did the big ones: Transformers, GI Joe, MOTU, TMNT, and Star Wars. I had a few Super Powers and Secret Wars figures, but it was usually the villains from those lines-- Dr. Doom, Darkseid, and Brainiac.
I had most of the MOTU figures and I beat the living snot out of them. Good thing they were durable. After that, it was GI Joe and TMNT. GI Joe went all wacky in 1990, and that's when I got into TMNT hardcore, like every other nine-year-old. My brothers were into it too, and they stayed in after I got out, when those Turtles that looked like Trolls showed up.
Is your Starcom collection loose or MOC? If it is loose (and complete), I would love to feature pictures of the figures on my Website. PM or email if you are interested.

On Cooking Channel's Pizza Cuz (Mondays at 9pm ET), Sal Basile and Francis Garcia, owners of NYC's Artichoke Basille's Pizza, embark on a mouthwatering exploration of pizza across the country. Devour sat with the two pizza aficionados to find out more about running a pizza empire and the best slices in the world.
What brought you both to the pizza business? Had you worked in restaurants before?
Francis: "We grew up in the restaurant business with a fourth generation restaurant family — our great grandparents' grandparents' restaurants. Our mothers, sisters and brothers and all our cousins work in pizza places. But it's the same thing on my father's side and his father's side — they all work in restaurants. It's in our blood. We tell people pizza sauce pumps through our veins."
Sal: "Yeah, my dad had me taking out slices when I was ten years old, probably breaking child labor laws!"

Thom talked to John Wilson on BBC Radio 4's "Front Row". Thom was asked he was surprised that 'difficult' pop music can still be commercial. Thom: "I think all good pop music is difficult. The mistake we made on 'Kid A' was not releasing any singles. Because I think 'Everything in its right place' for example was in retrospect written to be heard on the radio. I always will consider everything that we do to be pop music.

Autologin on Windows Server 2012
14/06/2013 | 12:49 0 Posted in Tutorial & Guide
Autologin on Windows Server 2012
Today we will be able to auto log on Microsoft's lastest Windows server platform. This is the first post of many. First of all, I must say that I am very impressed with Windows Server 2012 speed, way faster than Windows 7 or Vista. So, one of the first thing you might want to do with your newest 2012 server, is to set auto login, if it is secure for you to do so. Like in my case, server is in a virtual machine and host is always locked up.
So, how to apply auto login on your brand new Windows Server 2012 :
- Open 'regedit' from run command. Shortcut for this is : Windows Key + X and then type regedit
- Second step is to navigate to the following key : HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogon
- Create following strings :
- AutoAdminLogon = 1
- DefaultUsername = currentUserName
- DefaultPassword = currentPassword
- Last step : Restart your computer

Antelope has moved to antelope.tigris.org. Current releases are downloadable fromt here and the cvs repository works.
Go to antelope.tigris.org.
Just so everyone knows, I am in the process of merging the Antelope tasks into the AntContrib project (http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net). What this means is that Ant users will have a single place to go for external Ant tasks. There are some similarities between the Antelope tasks and the AntContrib tasks: both have "if/else", "try/catch/finally", and "switch".
What does this mean for users of Antelope? Right now, nothing. I'm leaving the tasks as is in the Antelope distribution for a while. I will be changing the package names, but if you are using the recommended loading technique, you won't notice any difference. If you are loading individual tasks with "taskdef", the package names will need to be changed. I will provide a small build file that will help convert those pathnames.... read more
Antelope 2.64 was released today. This release updated Antelope and the extra tasks to work with Ant 1.6, and the AntelopePlugin to work with jEdit 4.2. This should be considered a beta release as both Ant 1.6 and jEdit 4.2 are in beta status, and it may be required to make further modifications to Antelope to support the final versions of both.
A build glitch caused 2.54 to go out missing some files and included some older versions of other files. This release is a rebuild of 2.54 to correct those issues.
I tried to post Antelope 2.53 today, but am having trouble getting the files actually uploaded to sourceforge. It says the transfer worked, but the file sizes are 0. I'll continue to try, hopefully things will be right later today.
Okay, things seem good now.
New SSH Tasks are now available. These tasks are the release candidates for Ant 1.6. I am providing them here for early access, mostly because I have received quite a bit of e-mail asking about the status of the tasks and bug fixes for them. Once Ant 1.6 is released, I won't post the tasks here.
If you're wondering why the files in cvs for this project are so far out of date, it's because I'm now using the jEdit plugins repository. Antelope is getting a lot of activity as a jEdit plugin, and it is easier for the jEdit group to include Antelope if it is a subproject of jEdit. See the jEdit project pages at sourceforge.net/projects/jedit.
The ssh/scp tasks are now available with the Antelope 1.97 release. These tasks are available as a separate download and are not bundled with the Antelope distribution. Follow the download link, the ssh/scp tasks are listed with the Antelope 1.97 files.
I've had a lot of interest in the ssh/scp tasks. They are not currently posted on this site. They are still in development and work well on some machines, not at all on others. I had planned to post them last weekend (Dec 14), but didn't have time. Look for them this week, and beware, they may not work at all on your machine.

The Bollywood superstar Sanju Baba is very excited about his upcoming film called 'No problem. He is very thrilled because he had the opportunity of working at this quality project. In a recent interview the well liked Bollywood actor said that after doing serious movies such as 'Knock Out' and 'Lamhaa' is more than happy to work in a comedy.
The story of the movie is a very nice one. It is based around two childhood friends Yash Ambani played by Sanju Baba himself and the other Raj Ambani performed by Akshaye Khanna. The two friends are crooks and the story of the movie is placed around their misfortunes in life. Raj is interested in doing something different in the future, than this small times crooks.
Yash on the other hand always gets involves in crimes, one way or the other. The story of the movie 'No Problem' gets even better with the appearance of a new character called Zandulal, played by none other than popular Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal.

How Vonage Phone Service Won the War
Jonathan Baldwin
Vonage is the epitome of what works with marketing. In the rather mysterious marketing world, where often myth precedes truth, or rumors persist of magical marketing techniques that can launch a company into greatness: Vonage has shown that the core values of marketing are no different than war.
In war, as Erwin Rommel said, victory goes to the side that is the first to plaster its opponent with fire. In the same way, whoever bombards the consumer with their brand name, will achieve recognition and notoriety first. Once achieved, consumers are less and less likely to recognize new brand names. Vonage pulled out every last dollar from their investors, even going into massive debt to market their product day-in and day-out to make sure they were the first VoIP provider in every customer's mind.
Whether it's the lucrative spot on ESPN's world cup coverage, or the infomercials at night, Vonage is taking every opportunity to market their product. As I speak, you could most certainly bet there is a television ad going off for Vonage somewhere in North America, or thousands of people beholding Vonage images on their computer screens.
The irony is their success has been bittersweet. Perhaps Vonage is a good example of how mere brute force marketing can work too well! They have spent an amazing 90% of their revenue on marketing. I wouldn't recommend such an extreme devotion of company resources, though perhaps Jeffrey Citron hoped to walk away with a hyped up IPO like in the days before the bubble pop. At any rate, Vonage definitely over exhausted their revenue and like soldiers who fire all at once without a thought to conserve, Vonage will soon find all their ammunition may run out.
Just as in war, this may be a moment for other VoIP to launch a coup d'etat, with an aggressive marketing campaign. Perhaps citing a lower price, or merely emphasizing superiority at this time would be smart as Vonage is nearly defenseless. Ironically, such a marketing threat may get Vonage to overspend their last remaining dollars and send them into remission.
While soldiers who are certain of reinforcements are emboldened, in the same way Vonage is facing a debt that can only be paid off with their wager: that the internet phone (VoIP) truly will be the next revolutionary product and give them the future support Vonage is banking on.
VoIP industry analysts expect half of America to be using it over the next decade. However, Americans always have been slow to adopt new technologies, and perhaps the product is being over-hyped.
Or maybe, just maybe, Vonage has a vision and has seen the dominant future of VoIP. In which case, Vonage is in a good position to be the leader in providing internet phone service to the 130 million households of America.

Liam Fulton says he could never imagine himself seeking compensation from the NRL over concussion injuries because rugby league has given him everything.
The likeable 29-year-old Wests Tigers' star became emotional when revealing to teammates on Thursday that he had made the decision to retire due to the spate of head knocks he had received this season.
Fulton is still suffering short-term memory loss and confusion, symptoms which are of concern to he and his family.
The good news is he's been told the symptoms are reversible but they might not subside for a couple of years.
If he played the game again, Fulton said he could risk permanent damage.
With a young family to look after, he made the decision to call it quits a couple of weeks ago, but went on holiday to Fiji to mull things over before coming back to inform the club with which he played 161 matches and won a premiership in 2005.
Fulton expressed gratitude to the NRL and the Tigers for the strict concussion guidelines they've introduced this year, and said he couldn't see himself following in the lead of NFL athletes who had taken legal action against their sport over brain injuries.
"Rugby league has given me everything, to be honest. It's up there with the best thing that's ever happened to me in my life," Fulton told AAP.
"It's provided me with all my mates, financially - it's been my life.
"I could never imagine myself doing anything like that.
"What the NRL have done this year with the concussions is a massive step forward for the game.
"In previous years, it was known as a badge of honour to stay on with concussion. It's a results-driven game but, this year, they've put player welfare first and it's fantastic."
Fulton suffered four concussions in just six games played this year and paid tribute to Tigers chief executive Grant Mayer for his support - which is to extend to the Western Suburbs junior working for the club in an off-field capacity for the next two years.
Known for his sense of humour and his team-first mentality, Fulton said it was sad to think he'd never take the field again with his teammates - but admitted, in the end, his decision was simple.
"To be honest, Dr Paul McCrory (Melbourne brain specialist) never said I think you should retire. He thought I should wait six months then reassess," said Fulton.
"But it's been four months and my thoughts and memory loss hasn't improved at all. I'm constantly getting confused. There's a lot of things I'm worried about and, obviously, my family is worried about. The deciding factor for me was if I came back and I wasn't 100 per cent, I was at high risk for having long-term damage if I copped another knock.
"Obviously, that's not a risk I'm willing to take.
"It's sad but there's people worse off than me and it's just nice I was lucky enough to play this great game - especially for a dog's body like me."
Tigers captain Robbie Farah described Fulton as the "toughest" he'd played with.

The site, built by Toronto's Jam3, lets entrants pick their lead musicians, backup instruments and a range of other audio components to create their jingle. The winner will receive $10,000 as well as having their jingle appear as the official tune for the bank's advertising. To drive people to the site, agency lg2 created a series of comedic web videos directed by Steam Films' Matt Atkinson featuring scenes of failed musical auditions (there's a guy who can only sing in auto tune, an endlessly operatic singer, a comedy drummer as well a hilariously earnest spoken word poet.)

Wow, Made for Me.
Only thing missing is another pair just like 'em! I love these pants. Cool, flexible, and hey - sexy! The puny side leg pocket leaves a lot to be desired - thinking they didn't want to mess up the smooth lines. These things make me feel like a million bucks. I'm tall and these are plenty long - they fit perfectly into my low gaiters.

BEIJING, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- China's National Disaster Reduction Commission issued an urgent circular on Monday, ordering the civil affairs authorities across the country to step up measures to prevent and control floods and other rain-triggered disasters.
The circular came amid weather forecasts predicting two more periods of heavy rainfall across the country, which has suffered the worst floods in at least a decade this summer.
The civil affairs authorities must closely monitor the development of torrential rains and guard against flooding, geological disaster and other rain-triggered disasters, it said.
Further, it ordered the evacuation and relocation of residents in high risk areas prone to flooding, landslide, and mudslide, and said that disaster relief materials and temporary shelters must be in place well in advance.
It also asked civil affairs authorities to increase publicity of disaster-related information and survival tips.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
OK let me make sure I'm with you here ... You're talking about California taxing the pension as income?
State income tax, right?
OK, I still don't see you coming into the chat here, so I'll answer generally, assuming you're asking about California State income tax on your pension:
Pleas don't shoot the messenger here, but in the FTN publication 2005 is says the following:
California Residents Receivingan Out-of-State PensionIn General alifornia residents are taxed on ALL income, includingCincome from sources outside California. Therefore, a pensionattributable to services performed outside California butreceived after you became a California resident is taxable in itsentirety by California.
Here'a the publication: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2011/11_1005.pdf
Ok, thank you for the info. I guess I will be paying the 4,000 in taxes.
So sorry, California is very aggressive in this way

For The "Project Runway" Contestant In All Of Us: Kors Metaphors
Ever since we stopped watching "Project Runway" because it was moved to Lifetime and we couldn't be bothered to figure out what channel that was (until "Liz & Dick" aired last night, that is), we've missed Michael Kors. Unlike, say, "X-Factor"'s Britters Spears, who thinks that everything is "amazing," Kors has a spot-on assessment or a Borscht-belt zinger for just about everyone. Those words of sassy wisdom have been lovingly compiled on the new Tumblr Kors Metaphors. The site captures all of Michael's finest moments. Check out a few more of our faves after the jump.

We ran across an article this morning at www.insidehighered.com that discussed a movement forming across the country where "spiritual non-theistic" (an oxymoron?) student groups are demanding "Secular Humanist Chaplains". Really.
Apparently, some atheists want guidance on how to believe in, well, nothing! (Ok, I jest, because the article states that they're actually seeking someone to help them be more "spiritually-informed ethical humans" - but without having to pay for a professional counselor. Sounds like a joke, but it's not.)
Real Chaplaincy
For a glimpse at a career that is full of reward and helping others understand the world around them as it unfolds in their professional ranks, think about Biblically-based Christian vocational chaplaincy.
Here is a very comprehensive resource about chaplain positions in our Career Center. Some of the fields you can work in:

Was trying to let my customers know that we are a happy place before they walk in the door, so we designed custom parking space signs. My favorite is "happy people park here, grumpy people park in rear" with a friendly smiley face. This sign brings so many funny comments from my customers. One of many Ideas sparked by DI and everything speaks.
As usual, it's the little things that matter the most. Walt Disney was a master at being aware of that.
