Undermining the Justice of Sharia, from Granting Divorce to Female Breadwinners
A couple of weeks ago I came across this BBC Panorama story on "Women at risk" which warns that "some Sharia councils in Britain may be putting Muslim women "at risk" by pressuring them to stay in abusive marriages." The story presents a case of a couple going to one of the Sharia councils for the judge to decide if the woman can have a divorce, the wife accusing her husband of "refusing to work, ignoring the children and verbally abusing her." The couple had been coming to the council for a yea … [Read more...]

A Review of Suzy Ismail's When Muslim Marriage Fails
It is said that in Islam, marriage is half the faith. Yet marriages are increasingly breaking down in divorce or marriage in name only, and examples of healthy marriages in keeping with our deen are becoming scarcer. I was curious to read Suzy Ismail's When Muslim Marriage Fails--I wondered, do Muslim marriages fail for the same reasons as non-Muslim marriages? Before reading this book, I was inclined to say yes. This well-written book was a stark insight into marriage issues facing American M … [Read more...]

An evangelist asked all who wanted to go to heaven to raise their hands. Everyone in the audience did so, except one elderly man sitting near the front of the auditorium. The preacher pointed his finger at him and said, &ls;Sir, do you mean to tell us that you don't want to go to heaven?'
&ls;Sure I want to go, but the way you put the question, I figured you were getting up a busload for tonight!'

Everyone has a story. The following interview is taken from the best of Andrew Denton's award-winning Enough Rope series, ranking among the most penetrating discussions from the 2000s with celebrities, larger-than-life personalities, and average Joes.
In his book Collapse, the author Jared Diamond asked the question: "Why do societies destroy the environment around them when they know their actions will ultimately destroy them too?" An example he gives is of the people of Easter Island, who chopped down their last tree on the way to their own extinction. According to former US Vice-President, Al Gore, we might be doing exactly the same thing with global warming.

The best thing that happened on this stay was getting called the day before we arrived with an offer for a free room upgrade. So, we got a king suite at the same price as our 2-queen room. As always, fresh cookies were there when we arrived, along with the quick, pleasant check-in. That afternoon we discovered my hubby forgot his deodorant - they supplied some at no charge. This location is very convenient - just off I-4, with a Cracker Barrel nearby.

Ferrari FF Now Features Apple's Siri and iPad Minis
Technology giant Apple has teamed up with Italian supercar maker Ferrari and their first joint creation debuted at this year's 2013 Geneva Motor Show.
The Ferrari FF is the first to reap the benefits of Ferrari's tie up with Apple, sporting an infotainment system that can be fully controlled using Apple's Siri hands free voice recognition system. For passengers riding in the back of the FF, two iPad minis have been fitted into the back of the headrests and can be used to watch videos or play video games.

2007 Jeep Liberty - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
The good and the bad
By dean8868 on
Vehicle2007 Jeep Liberty Sport 4dr SUV 4WD (3.7L 6cyl 6M)
ReviewBought in 2007 because we wanted a larger vehicle. Needed something to drive in the winter in case I got rid of my wrangler with 200,000 miles on it, and a rebuilt motor. Think we bought it because of four wheel drive and it looked nice. Gas mileage is decent. You will get pissed because it is not very comfortable (didn't expect my wrangler to be) this is because the seats are cheaply designed, and will stain if a rain drop comes through the window or you're drinking a bottled water. Good luck if you have kids. Until I wrote this review I didn't know that the power Windows were a problem. I had the back regulator replaced on the drivers side. This window was hardly ever used. Air con drain tube leak at shop now.
Best Featureslooks, 4wd, 4 wheel disc brakes, decent power/ gas mileage on highway,nice wheels
Worst FeaturesReplace the seats with what you have in the patriot. They are great and won't stain. Put a 110 V power outlet in the vehicle. Pay to have seats cleaned and stain proofed

Spartan Q1 Net Sales, Operating Earnings Grow by Double Digits
The grocer also revealed further renovation and new-store plans, as well as additional fuel center openings.
Spartan Stores, Inc. yesterday posted consolidated net sales for its 12-week first quarter ended June 21, 2008 of $586.7 million, an increase of 12.8 percent from the $520.2 million reported last year, and a six-year high, according to the company.
Last year's first quarter included incremental sales related to the Easter holiday of about $6.0 million. Spartan attributed the net sales improvement to its acquisition of Felpausch Food Center stores, retail comparable-store sales growth of 1.6 percent (excluding fuel sales and Easter holiday sales last year), incremental fuel sales, and higher distribution sales to new and existing customers.
Operating earnings shot up 26.4 percent to $15.0 million from $11.9 million in the year-ago period. The improvement was due mainly to the acquired Felpausch stores and new distribution business, partially offset by the absence of Easter holiday sales this year, Spartan said. The operating earnings include $0.8 million in startup costs related to remodeling activity during the first quarter, vs. $0.5 million of startup costs related to the Felpausch acquisition last year.
First-quarter earnings from continuing operations grew 22.4 percent, reaching $7.6 million, or 35 cents per diluted share, vs. $6.2 million, or 29 cents per diluted share in the year-ago period.
Net earnings for the quarter rose an impressive 52.2 percent to $9.9 million, or 46 cents per diluted share, from $6.5 million, or 30 cents per diluted share, last year.
"We remain very pleased with the execution of our business plan during this challenging economic climate," said Spartan chairman and c.e.o. Craig C. Sturken. "Our first-quarter net earnings reached a record level, while net sales improved for the ninth consecutive quarter."
In the distribution segment, net sales went up 5.6 percent to $298.1 million from $282.4 million in the same period last year. The sales increase was due to incremental sales to new and existing customers, according to Spartan, which added that the increase was partly offset by the reclassification of $20.6 million in distribution sales to the acquired Felpausch stores and the absence of about $3.0 million in Easter holiday sales included in last year's first quarter.
Distribution segment operating earnings reached a first-quarter record, growing 43.7 percent to $7.5 million from $5.2 million last year. Spartan attributed the improvement to higher sales volumes to new and existing customers, better fixed-cost leverage, and improved gross profit margin rates. The margin rate improvement was caused mainly by the elimination of sales to the now corporately owned Felpausch retail stores and a higher mix of retailer support services sales, partly offset by higher LIFO inventory charges.
First-quarter retail net sales zoomed up 21.4 percent to $288.6 million from $237.8 million in year-ago period. The increase was mainly because of incremental sales from the acquired Felpausch retail stores, incremental fuel sales, and favorable sales growth from stores remodeled last year as part of the company's continuing capital investment initiatives, Spartan said. Excluding fuel sales, comparable-store sales for the quarter grew 0.2 percent. The Easter holiday contributed about $3.0 million in retail sales to last year's first quarter. Adjusted for the Easter shift and excluding fuel sales, comparable-store sales edged up 1.6 percent.
The retail sales growth was tempered by slower sales at stores the company's northern Michigan tourist markets, which experienced unseasonably cool and rainy weather during late spring and early summer, consumer response to higher fuel costs, and general economic conditions.
"Although our first-quarter comparable store sales performance was not at our historical run rate...our second-quarter rate should improve as we more fully realize the benefits of our capital investment program and because of the more favorable recent weather conditions in our northern Michigan markets," noted Sturken. "During the first quarter we completed major remodels on three Felpausch retail stores, which we grand reopened under the Family Fare banner. The preliminary sales trends from these stores are in line with our expectations and with the positive results we achieved at stores remodeled late in fiscal 2008."
First-quarter retail operating earnings rose 12.8 percent to $7.5 million from $6.7 million last year. The improvement in retail operating earnings was mainly due to the Felpausch retail store acquisition, partly offset by the aforementioned startup and promotional costs associated with remodeled store openings.
"As the year progresses, we will continue to execute our capital investment program, integrate our Felpausch retail stores, and further improve the efficiency and service levels in our distribution operation," noted Sturken, adding that in addition to several remodels in the second and third quarters, the company planned to execute "a major store relocation project and substantially complete a new store during the fourth quarter."
The new store is slated to open early in the first quarter fiscal 2010, and Spartan also expects to open as many as four more fuel centers during the rest of the current fiscal year, said Sturken.
Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Spartan Stores, Inc. is the 10th-largest grocery distributor in the United States, with warehouse facilities in Grand Rapids and Plymouth, Mich. The company distributes over 40,000 private-label and national brand products to nearly 400 independent grocery stores in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. Spartan also owns and operates 84 retail supermarkets in Michigan, including Family Fare Supermarkets, Glen's Markets, D&W Fresh Markets, and Felpausch Food Centers.

Visited the Year 8 tutor room on wednesday. Tutor was very helpful. We move forward on this issue. I want to leave the weekend for thinking. For planning and reflection. So this is my weekly wrap up. Every other thursday I get to spend some quality time do important jobs. Today start with cover, which went surprisingly well. I arrived to cover a history class looking at medieval festivals. We completed the task and took the students outside to experience shin kicking. I think it hit the mark. It certainly brought the students closer to understanding the topic. Next week cheese rolling. Wow, there is so much more we as teachers could do with practical learning – importantly it also made me think where and how I could make ICT more practical, this is not the first time I have thought that….. but it needs more thinking time. Also, I was a little disappointed, ICT limits teaching due to the PCs. We really lack the opportunity to create with our environment and surroundings. I shared the Sir Ken Robinson resources, introduced Mrs L to CPD in the car, well I loaned her my Flashdrive with a FM transmitter, of course I added the SKR clips. I also gave Mrs L a copy my favourites, more links than you can shake a stick at – surely this is a way to share resources. I connected with HIAS, spoke with Janet Roberts, joined the forum, requested a review day, and signed up for the annual conference, continued my connections with Wildern. Short listed the IT Tech candidates, sought advice on a staffing issue and I believe we made a positive step forward (I could of course be wrong on that point). Prepared an ICT Newsletter update, requested a spot on the MOTs meeting, Baracuda is in. OCR resources agreed. Added the Dance pic to the homepage. Added the Staff AUP. What still bothers me is that discipline in ICT is not improving swiftly enough for my liking. Why? Is the discipline communication good enough? Is it a more difficult challenge than I realised? I do believe we need a team of 4, not 3. One staff member for each room – but I read tonight ICT staff are in high demand!?! On which note, HCSC needs to get the ad out. Half term is for the strategy plan. Boy do I need to get the thoughts out and in type instead of swimming around up there! Just added tonight; How to encourage the uptake of an 'Enquiring Minds' programme. Parents evening fine, but as is often the case, saw most of the students who can be rewarded, but need to speak with others also. Did we miss an opportunity to showcase the school to the parents on parents evening? Projector was cold, nothing showing. What percentage of parents visit? Can this be improved? How to communicate with parents – email? Do we need to ask our parents? How much money would this save? Focus, next term is the term for some style projects.
Mid Week
Up until now, I had been waiting until the weekend to write… This week I was determined to hit a half-way marker. Although its not halfway, there is little to report in just two days.
The Middle Leaders meeting reinforced the need to tidy user areas, noted the use of the IT tech reporting form and general to do. I think this is a good forum for this information but the IT Newsletter is also important.
I have put up some posters telling the students to use F1. Learnt that you need to know more about students then just trying to connect with them. More students are using the ICT resources, but its hardly mass knowledge consumption.
I continue to research how best to develop our ICT curriculum and also how to best serve the school curriculum. The Horizon Report 2008 is out, some ideas in there I hope.
After school football, the students needed a real 'boot' up the back side. Not sure I am happy to continue to give up my time for that level of commitment? What are the students expectations? I need to ask them.
The Why…
For some time, in various guises, wiki pages, tumblr blogs, twitter, newsletters and the office whiteboard, I have been reflecting and writing about my educational experiences. I am regularly encouraged by my digital colleagues to share these thoughts with a wider audience and my tumblr blog was a real postive step. I would recommend tumblr blogs to all blog curious educators and most certainly PGCE and NQTs!
So why now turn to a blog? Two references really. The first is that to date, I have found it very difficult to seek guidance and support in my new position as Director or E-Learning. Most of my professional development has come via online sources, Ustreams, Online Conferences, blogs and podcasts. Typically from American educators located both within the US and at International Schools. Perhaps this blog will promote connections and even support future middle managers. Second, this past fortnight I have encouraged two students at my school to collect results and write as digital sports journalists. These students have been thoroughly committed and they deserve a better example.
So, I wonder to what extent that this blog will impact upon my professional practice and future decisions. I wonder to what extent this blog will promote professional dialogue?
Now before I publish this post, I should also note that I have a number of very valued UK based digital colleagues as well. I have read first hand how unforgiving the edublogsphere can be and I would not want to start this blog with a glaring oversight.
Finally, one of the very first successes I experiences as a digital educator was collecting and sharing lesson starters and closers – bookends to a lesson, so to speak and a few general classroom quizzes. I think I will create a page here on the blog, afterall, all teachers need a powerful beginning and end to a lesson, research has shown us that we forget most of the stuff in the middle. I look forward to your comments.

Anxious Cypriots queued outside Popular Bank ATM machines to withdraw their cash as fears rose that the country's financial crisis would mean its second-largest lender closes for good.
"It's all about cash now. Only a gambler will take cheques in this situation," said retired government official Phaedon Vassiliades as he withdrew money from the bank's ATM at Nicosia's Ledra Street tourist hot spot on Thursday.
Behind the wheelchair-bound Vassiliades, a queue of apprehensive men and women waited to claw back as much as they could, while tourists took pictures on mobile phones and cameras.
"There are rumours that Laiki Bank [the Greek name for Popular Bank] will never open again. I want to take out as much as I can," Vassiliades said.
"I have nearly €60,000 (HK$601,000) as savings in this bank and some credit societies. I don't know if I will ever get it back now. This is what I had and now it seems it is all gone."
Similar queues of Popular Bank depositors formed across central Nicosia, with some using multiple ATM cards to withdraw whatever they could, often to the annoyance of those waiting.
Depositors spoke of panic after reports that the government, struggling to halt a potential financial meltdown since an EU bailout package was first announced, was considering merging Popular Bank with the Bank of Cyprus. The latter is the island's largest bank.
In an effort to end the panic, a central bank spokeswoman, Aliki Stylianou, denied the rumours of the bank's closure.
Popular Bank later imposed a limit on cash withdrawals of €260 per day, saying the curb was due to "high demand for cash" from customers taking out their daily limits of up to €700.
Popular Bank customers said they did not trust the government's efforts.
"Cyprus is sinking. [The EU and the international community] are prepared to let Cyprus sink," said Gautam Kapoor, a Briton working for a Greek metals company, as he waited outside another Popular Bank ATM.
"The markets have already factored in the Cyprus debacle. Nobody is going to have trust in Cyprus again. I just want to withdraw cash as much as possible as even fuel stations and department stores are now accepting only cash."
The manageress of a nearby service station confirmed she would take only cash. "I have to pay cash to my fuel supplier so I'm accepting only cash," she said.

Rockin' Salmon With Creamy Herb Sauce
Recipe by NcMysteryShopper
This recipe went over big-time with guests that do not enjoy fish! The very finely minced red onions lend a slight crunch and the capers explode with each bite adding a salty balance to the sweet herby mustard sauce that covers the delicate fish. This recipe uses fresh dill. Quick enough for a weekday meal but delicious enough to serve company. Pair it with steamed vegetables or homemade coleslaw and a baked potato for a complete meal. This recipe was created for RSC #10. Good luck to all the entrants!

Interesting blend of flavors, very unique and NcMysteryShopper has to be highly praised for her creativity.

- In a small sauce pan over very low heat combine sour cream, cream, Dijon mustard, honey, fresh dill and the juice of one lemon (about two tablespoons or so). Stir sauce until warmed.
- Remove salmon from oven. Place servings on plates, top with sauce and sprinkle with capers. Enjoy!

With the possibility of severe thunderstorms over the weekend followed by much colder temperatures next week, south Louisiana's weather will be a good excuse to stay indoors.
A cold front will be moving through the area this weekend and could bring strong thunderstorms to much of south Louisiana on Saturday.
"We could see some showers and thunderstorms as early as Friday afternoon," said Bob Wagner, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Slidell. "The main threat for severe weather and thunderstorms will be during the afternoon and evening of Saturday."
Some of the thunderstorms will bring high winds, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall at times, the National Weather Service said.
Most of the front will have moved through south Louisiana by Saturday night, but there still could be some lingering showers on Sunday, Wagner said.
For Baton Rouge and New Orleans, rainfall on Saturday through early Sunday could bring between 1 and 3 inches, which could raise water levels in some rivers and create temporary accumulation of water in low-lying areas.
The National Weather Service in Lake Charles reports the rain will be followed by a shift to colder weather as an Arctic air mass comes into the area.
"Definitely colder than we've been seeing here recently," Wagner said.
Temperatures that were expected to be in the 60s and even 70s over the weekend will drop to lows in the 30s by Sunday evening in Lafayette and Baton Rouge with the first wave of cold air.
The temperatures will likely continue to drop in Baton Rouge, with lows in the upper 20s by Wednesday night.
The cold weather will take a little longer to reach New Orleans. It is not expected to see temperatures in the 30s until Wednesday night, with the second wave of cold air pushing into the region.

It was a show that few predicted would last one season, let alone seven. Trying to recapture the glory of a long cancelled sci-fi series from the 60s seemed like hubris; replacing William Shatner's virile Captain Kirk with balding, 47-year-old Yorkshireman Patrick Stewart, described by the LA Times as an "unknown British Shakespearean actor" appeared sheer insanity. But, after a few shaky seasons of variable quality, it worked, equalling the bottled lightning of the original and in many ways surpassing it.
Managing a constant average of around 20 million viewers in the US alone for its entire run, Star Trek: The Next Generation presented a captivating, seductively optimistic vision of a human future where disease, poverty and national borders were things of the past. Unlike Kirk's crew, the problems Picard and his cohorts faced were ones they couldn't just punch, phaser or kiss their way out of. This was a less violent, more cerebral show, with a cast of rare chemistry and ability – all were theatrically trained. Over the years, they all got a chance to shine, with Brent Spiner as Data the super-intelligent android who had aspirations of humanity, and Michael Dorn as the Klingon Lieutenant Worf, constantly battling his aggressive instincts, both standing out. Each combined the otherworldly with the recognisably human, but never made the viewer doubt they were watching a robot and an alien.
Next Generation managed a decent average of about one episode in four being great television – almost anyone would appreciate the smart, original storytelling. Anything with the coldly confrontational cybernetic race the Borg was great value, as were adventures featuring the near-omnipotent troublemaker Q. Outer space provided the show with incredible scope: from courtroom dramas such as The Measure of a Man, in which Data must prove he can be classed as a lifeform, to the harrowing Chain Of Command, where Picard is captured on a clandestine mission and subjected to a brutal and relentless interrogation, and the time-twisting Yesterday's Enterprise, where the crew collides with an alternate and more militaristic alternate universe in which a decades long war with the Klingons is being waged.
So far, only the first two seasons have been completed in a difficult and complex restoration programme. But Next Generation, arguably the most successful and recognisable of all the many offshoots of the Trek franchise, deserves the special treatment. Really, there's never been a better time to watch this great, classic television show, and that's a scientific fact.

It is my regret to inform everyone that it is now time for me to retire. I am not free to explain why this has happened, due to it affecting people's lives who are still in the situation that I am leaving. I hate to be so vague about it, but there really is no other choice. I hung on as long as I could because I truly do enjoy the scene. It just is no longer feasible for me to continue with the given conditions and circumstances. I have never been one to sling mud in public, so I have to leave it at that. I am once again sorry for any unanswered questions this may cause. I will indeed miss all the wonderful times I had with the caring people I met and played with along the way.

Time New York
March 14, 2010 by Post Team
Time New York:Time Change Spring 2010: Daylight Savings Time – What Time is it? – America is experiencing a springing forward now. Most of Americans trade an hour's sleep this weekend for more evening sunshine to enjoy after their work.
It means that there's an official change to daylight savings time which occurs at 2 am, Sunday, local time and most of people there set their clocks and watches ahead an hour before going to bed this Sunday.
What time is it? This is the most question of many people in United States now. The current time is the first question on everyone's mind after daylight savings time 2010. Time change spring 2010 means the current time is 8:55 AM EST (that is the official time New York at my office).
As a conclusion, today is a spring forward 2010 date! The best part is day light savings 2010 and this only means that summer time is right around the corner now.

Survey not shown on page
HI there
I installed survey maker lite, activated the plug in, created a survey, created 3 questions, added them to the stack on the lefthand side and then I copied the shortcut into the page.
Now, when I want to see that page there is a orange "arrow-in-a-circle" icon turning and turning and turning. The survey is not shown on the page, not even after waiting for a long time.
What's wrong?

I ordered three of these Tees for the summer, and boy, was I disappointed. I ordered size L, thinking they'd be roomy enough, allowing for repeated washings.. When I pulled out the first one, I laughed. Even though it was labeled "L" it looked like it would fit a 10 year old (and not a chubby one at that). It was short, too narrow for anyone whose bra size was bigger than AAA, and the cotton was flimsy, almost see-through. This was not the first time this has happened with overstock.com's clothing, so I'm now resigned that, while I enjoy shopping here for furniture, sheets, etc., I will NOT buy this online store's clothes.Read More

Mayoral possibles and probables quizzed over urban planning
As the Auckland Mayoral race hots up Super City visions and issues will be in the spotlight with a trio of public events at The University of Auckland.
Transformation of Auckland into a Super City was proposed as a means of bringing a greater and more coordinated vision for the administration and development of Auckland. In this series of events, focusing on city issues, the University's School of Architecture and Planning attempt to unravel the rhetoric and examine the finer points of that proposition.
The events kick off with Towards a new Auckland — Mayoral Debate on the Urban Environment on 17th August. The Mayoral debate, chaired by journalist and economic commentator Rod Oram, will provide a forum for Mayoral hopefuls Len Brown, John Banks, Andrew Williams and Simon Prast to present their visions for Auckland's built environment and discuss their plans and priorities for bringing that vision to fruition.
The following evening the University will host Leigh Auton, outgoing CEO for Manukau City Council and Town Planner. Leigh will provide an insight into future urban planning and development challenges the Super City may face based upon his experience in Manukau, New Zealand's fast growing city, and one of the most diverse.
The third event of the series, Perspectives on the Super City, will see three notable panellists provide their own assessment of the Super City vision and what might be in store for Auckland. The speakers include: Ken Tremaine (director of the Sea+City waterfront development agency and a planning consultant specialising in smart growth); the Honourable Peter Salmon (retired high court judge and chair of the Royal Commission on Auckland Governance); and Graham Bush (Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Political Studies at The University of Auckland, and an authority on local government in New Zealand).
Associate Professor Sarah Treadwell, Head of the School of Architecture and Planning, says: "The School is very pleased to be hosting these events, particularly the Mayoral Debate. As a centre for teaching and research on the built environment, we are constantly seeking ideas that will help guide the urban future of Auckland.
"It is tremendously important to us to be able to ask some tough questions of those that are seeking to lead that development and to be able to weigh those views," she says.
All the events are open to the public and free to attend. The Mayoral Debate is likely to be popular so it is recommended that people pre-register for this event via the NICAI website at creative.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/fast-forward/.
TOWARDS A NEW AUCKLAND / MAYORAL DEBATE Tuesday 17th August, 6.30pm OGGB4, Owen G Glenn Bldg, 12 Grafton Road

Current Round
Min Deposit: 1.00 Max: 20 Skins
steam cs go
Peripheral manufacturer Hori, known of its arcade sticks and other console accessories, is working on a keypad and mouse set for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. The set is called Tactical Assault Commander 4 and it's aimed at first-person-shooter players.The usual array of pretty stuff is thrown in too: the Wildfire Case contains 16 community weapon skins and a Bowie knife.It's not a common occurrence that Valve takes action against mods to its games, but that's exactly what's happening with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. In fact, they're basically whipping out the ban hammer for folks who create servers that allow players to use custom skins for their various weapons.The lines are blurring between gaming PCs and traditional consoles. Valve's Steam Machines, gaming PCs designed to express the best of both worlds, are ostensibly the prototype for this awesome future, and they're now available for preorder. Too bad they're not something you should buy — yet.Artur Minacov, 21 and John Brechisci, 28, founded a site called OPSkins in January, and say they've since made a fortune buying and selling virtual video game gun skins online.
Which is to say, clothing label Betabrand has just launched an official CS:GO clothing line, in association with Valve. Using official and user-created weapon skins, they're offering multiple designs on jackets, t-shirts, dresses, blouses and more.The world of esports is growing fast, and broadcast matches like this one happen every day. But what's special about this match is that it didn't take place in Counter-Strike: it was played in SOCOM: Source, a remastering of 2002 PlayStation 2 exclusive SOCOM. With Insurgency as the base for now, a small group of fans is modding in SOCOM's third-person perspective and crosshairs, rebuilding classic maps, modeling classic characters, and writing logic for their favorite game modes.Last August, eSports journalist Richard Lewis published an article that implicated top North American Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team iBUYPOWER in a match-fixing scandal. Match fixing is nothing new to the eSports community, having already been a major point of controversy in the Starcraft II professional scene.After some spooky celebrations for Halloween at the end of last month, Valve is now rolling out a fresh update that brings forth a new operation, not to mention plenty of other goodies.Now, a brand new patch just been released by developer Valve, and the studio has stayed true to its word from last week, as it's a big update with plenty of changes to the multiplayer-only first-person shooter.
As electronic sports becoming popular, MLG moved to another level by branching out to PC games in 2008 broadcasting World of Warcraft competitions. The company continued their rise as they broadcasted competitions in StarCraft 2. In 2010, MLG became much more popular when they hosted and broadcasted e-sports competitions on Defense of the Ancients 2 and League of Legends.In July, though, Kory Friesen, a Counter-Strike player known as "Semphis", told an interviewer that he and team-mates "were all on Adderall," a stimulant typically used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, during a competition in Poland. He then told 'The New York Times' that did not necessarily make his team win: "You don't just take Adderall and instantly become better," Friesen said. He did not reply when asked to comment by Bloomberg.Sadece CS:GO skin'lerine y?nelik olan bu platfromda, en büt?e dostu skin'lerden, her CS:GO oyuncusunun hayallerini süsleyen Dragon Lore ve Bayonet Fade gibi koleksiyon e?yalar?na kadar uzanan geni? bir ürün yelpazesi tüm CS:GO oyuncular?n? bekliyor.ücretsiz kay?t olarak kullanabilece?iniz skins.kinguin.net adresinden ihtiyac?n?z olmad???n? dü?ündü?ünüz skin'lerinizi satabilir ve hayallerinizi süsleyen muhte?em e?yalar? do?rudan, kutu ile u?ra?madan sat?n alabilirsiniz.

There's also a new camera transition animation that makes swapping between different players' perspectives less disorienting. On Twitch, matches should appear on the ESLTV_CS channel. Surveys conducted by analyst firm Superdata Research have found that in the US, women play more PC games overall than men. They also play more RPGs on PC than men, while men outnumber women in the FPS and MMO genres.
"We can confirm, by investigating the historical activity of relevant accounts, that a substantial number of high valued items won from that match by Duc 'cud' Pham were transferred (via Derek 'dboorn' Boorn) to iBUYPOWER players and NetCodeGuides founder, Casey Foster," Valve wrote on the CS:GO blog. "All together, the information we have collected and received makes us uncomfortable continuing any involvement with these individuals."Seven players will be excluded from "participation in any capacity in Valve-sponsored events," according to the post:The higher level matches you're playing, the more you'll start seeing the same guns being used over and over again. There's not much debate over which weapons are the most useful in the average CS match: you'll need to learn to frag effectively with the AK-47 (when on the terrorist side), the M4A4 or M4A1-S (when on the CT side), and the AWP if you want to play that role (most five-man teams will only have one AWPer). It's worthwhile to get decent at some of the cheaper guns as well, but the vast majority of the time you will be using one of the above-mentioned rifles once you get into the more advanced ranks.CS:GO tips: Guide on how to get better at Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Musik-Kits: Nur k?uflich im Spielmenü erh?ltlich
Pricing hasn't been announced, but Asus' other ROG mouse, the Gladius, is $80 on Newegg right now. It's probably fair to say the Sica won't be cheap when it hits stores.To hear Microsoft tell it, DirectX 12 is going to be a breakthrough technology when it comes out as a part of Windows 10. Microsoft has promised, and some early benchmarking has shown, that DirectX 12 can deliver performance gains in the neighborhood of 50% on DX12-capable hardware.Outside the remarkable demand for trading, CS: GO betting has become an addiction for thousands of players, and is centered around waging with skins. Websites like BetCSGO, CSGORumble, and CSGOLounge enjoy hundreds of thousands if not millions of visitors per month as an increasing number of users find interest in watching professional players, gambling on who they believe will win in certain matches, and hopefully reaping the rewards of their efforts.Valve oddly makes betting incredibly easy in the game itself. One can buy cases that have randomly won weapons upon opening, which the keys to open also cost money. Those weapon skins can be easily transferred to third-party pools, or websites, to be either sold or put into a 'pot' to be won by betting on different professional and semi-professional CSGO matches. There is a wide variety of websites that offer ways to use your weapon skins as collateral, and currency, to gamble and place bets."Right [as I was about to quit CS:GO for good], Valve released an update adding new skins to the game," Dahn explained via email. "The collector in me twitched, and I just had to reinstall to see what it was all about. I didn't much care for the new skins, but I did enjoy collecting them. I slowly added more and more skins as the newest collections came out." The Arms Deal Update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is live, adding in a Team Fortress 2-style system of random drops, over 100 new weapon skins, two new stock weapons, and a purchasable item that helps fund competitive play.
Shortly afterwards the Electronic Sports League, one of the main tournament organizers, said it would create a formal drug policy with help from Germany's anti-doping agency. It conducted its first doping tests at a tournament in Cologne in August, and said in a statement the random screening "returned negative results for all tested players." A spokeswoman declined to disclose how many tests were conducted, and for which substances.Though eSports organizers are beginning to grapple with drug use, gambling presents a new set of challenges. Betting on competitions is growing rapidly on mainstream sites; U.K. bookmaker William Hill has taken 14,000 bets on games so far this year, spokesman Joe Crilly said, of about £250,000 ($395,000) in total. Four times that much will likely be bet over the next year, he said.One such platform is CSGO Lounge (an independent site not affiliated with Valve Software, which develops the game itself). The site allows spectators to bet in-game add-ons known as skins – weapons, tools and the like – on the results of matches. Not all skins are created equal, and the rarity of some means they can cost hundreds of real dollars on marketplace sites like SkinXchange.com. The temptation is too much for some"Underage gambling is a huge problem," SkinXchange lead developer Justin Carlson said in an e-mail, adding that he has had to call "countless" parents whose children have taken their credit cards without their knowledge. They use the cards to buy skins and bet on gaming on other sites. Many have "racked up hundreds or thousands of dollars in skins on SkinXchange just to lose them all on some betting or jackpot site," Carlson said.ʏһҳúcsgo free keys

What's MORE Relaxing?
What's MORE Relaxing?
I love any and every kind of massage. There is something so satisfying about closing your eyes and letting somebody touch you, and not having to do a thing but enjoy it.
When it comes to intimacy with a boyfriend, getting touched in a loving and nurturing way is both a huge turn-on and a way to get me completely relaxed. While I have a hard time choosing between a foot massage and a back massage, what I want to know is which do you find more relaxing?

The Hyatt Place brand, first launched in 2006, is a happy fusion of style and practicality, and Hyatt Hotels Corporation has, in recent times, divulged plans to expand its portfolio of Hyatt Place hotels in Latin America. With the ever-growing popularity of the Hyatt brand there is no doubt that before long the 165 room Hyatt Place hotel will soon be featured among the lists of most recommended Panama City hotels.
One of the key features that makes this hotel ideal for travellers booking Panama holidays is its location- a mere 25 minute drive from the Tocumen International Airport, the Hyatt Place Panama City/ Downtown is in the heart of Panama's bustling banking district, with easy access to the a host of restaurants, clubs and the Metro which goes directly to the Albrook Mall. Other key amenities include, free wifi, complimentary breakfast, a 24 hour gym, a self service laundry facilities, and a luxurious rooftop swimming pool offering guests a stunning panoramic view of Panama City.
The recent launch of the Hyatt Place Panama City/Downtown is undoubtedly a pivotal moment in the Hyatt Corporation's Latin American growth strategy,
"We have been on a path of meaningful growth in the region and being represented in Panama is important because our guests are traveling there for business and pleasure. We believe Hyatt Place Panama City/Downtown will bring a new standard of hospitality to the area and provide a perfect blend of style, service and amenities that exceed guest expectations."
Last month it was announced that Hyatt had signed a joint venture agreement with LATAM Hotel Corp, that will see the US hotel firm launch ten Hyatt Place hotels in key Latin American holiday destinations including Panama, Mexico, Nicaragua, Chile and Guatemala.

Habitat Pushes to frame six homes in seven days
Thanks to a tremendous outpouring of enthusiasm and hard work from over 200 community members, Habitat framed six homes in just seven days during the Wickham Pond Framing Push, significantly expediting construction on our first mixed-income community in Crozet.
The unusually hot September days didn't slow down our eager volunteers, and the bare foundations were quickly transformed to the frames, walls and roofs of six new Habitat houses, bringing our Partner Families closer to the day they will walk through the doors of a home of their own.
"I worked on my home for the first time during the Push with my dad, brother, and friends. It was an amazing moment. Watching my dad help work on my home almost brought me to tears," said future Wickham Pond homeowner Tywanna Brooks. "I am so excited to be living at Wickham Pond. I have moved many times in my life, and it feels unbelievably good to know that soon my children and I will have stability."
Setting out to frame six homes in seven days was ambitious, but the Habitat construction staff was confident that the Push would be yet another testament to what can happen when great people in a community work together.
"The Push was a huge success, thanks to the help of lots of volunteers, Partner Families, family advocates, and Crozet neighbors," said Morgan Reitz, Habitat Assistant Construction Supervisor. "It is a joy to see all kinds of different people work together for a common goal, and the Crozet community members who brought cookies, lunch, and water to the job site made everyone feel welcome."
And welcome a diversity of volunteers we did. The Push coincided with United Way's annual Day of Caring, a national day of service promoting the spirit and value of volunteerism while simultaneously benefiting hundreds of local nonprofits.
Day of Caring brought a group from CFA Institute to the Wickham Pond construction site.
Darin Goodwiler, the Chief Compliance, Risk, and Ethics Officer of CFA Institute, said that the day's work was a wonderful opportunity to work side-by-side with colleagues from across the organization.
"We were happy to spend the day with Habitat in hands-on service to our community," said Darin.
With support from developer Vito Cetta and the County of Albemarle, the Wickham Pond project will serve as the blueprint to create affordable housing opportunities throughout the Albemarle County growth area, while demonstrating that Habitat homes will enhance and strengthen new communities across the Greater Charlottesville region.
"This project is special," said Habitat President and CEO Dan Rosensweig, "because Wickham Pond is a beautiful, family-friendly neighborhood. Crozet has seen prices skyrocket in recent years so we're thrilled to begin to address the affordable housing crisis in Albemarle County."

The Butler Bulldogs are coming off the best single season in their school's history, and now they are looking to follow it up with a big year on the recruiting trail. They got the ball rolling with a super versatile wing from St. Louis, Roosevelt Jones.
On their rise to success the Butler Bulldogs have made a living on tough kids who are very versatile. That is what they saw in Jones, and he will fit right in. The 6-foot-4 and 195-pound wing can guard a multitude of positions, and that led to Butler making him a priority on the recruiting trail.
Along with Butler, Jones had interest from Illinois State, Missouri State, and Southern Illinois along with several others. However in the end it was Jones' relationship with the Butler staff that made the difference.
"Coach (Brad) Stevens and his coaching staff are a really good group of guys," said Jones of his decision to pick the Bulldogs.
To go with the coaching staff, academics are also a big deal for Jones, and that is also something that appeals to him about Butler.
"Their academic program is amazing," said Jones. "That's what pulled me in and me commit."
The commitment is the first for the Bulldogs since they made their run to the national title game.

Players 'Klazzus' and 'Sweepea' won $14,869 and $50,658 respectively playing Let it Ride Poker. Placing the bonus bet gives Let it Ride players a chance to scoop an additional $30,000 bonus when they hit a Royal Flush; although even without playing the bonus bet, the Royal Flush pays a princely 1000 to 1!
Next up was player 'Kimmc', who hit the jackpot on the Triple Olives Progressive Slot and took $18,023 back home to Australia. Once Kimmc converts her cash back into Australian dollars, she'll be sitting on $23,891 – enough to ensure that her family will have a very merry Christmas.
'Danskin' will also be toasting a glass of champagne to InterCasino this holiday season, after nailing $22,708 playing the 9-line slot machine Cool Bananas. A player since 2003, it looks like 'Danskin' has cracked Cool Bananas' winning formula.
But the player to envy the most during this spectacular winning week is unquestionably 'LLCoolV', Not just for his cool username, but for the $231,015 Rags to Riches MEGA-Jackpot that he won after only wagering $33. That's a 7000 times return on investment, and enough to buy everyone on his Christmas list a new car, and still have plenty of change for the champagne on New Year's Eve!
'LLCoolV' has been a player at InterCasino.com for just under one year, and has taken to Rags to Riches like a fish to water. But then again, why wouldn't he? Rags to Riches progressive MEGA-Jackpots start at $100,000 and frequently pay out well over $200,000, as 'LLCoolV' can happily confirm!
"We always expect more winners at this time of year, as it's a busy time, but 5 major progressive winners in a week is something special- I guess the spirit of the holidays has gotten into our machines! This Christmas we have also designed a special Advent Calendar, as a thank you to all our players, new and old. We are offering a different promotion every day until Christmas, so why not visit our site and see what promotion awaits you today!" said a festive Ryan Hartley.

Securing the East China Sea
Joint patrols of the Senkakus would send a stronger message.

Wrap art canvases in decorative paper for a fresh take on wall art. Showcase some of your favorite papers, such as scrapbooking paper or even a beautiful gift wrap to create a focal point in your home. Even an unsightly painted canvas found at a yard sale may be used as the base for the paper-wrapped decor.
Things You'll Need
- Paper
- Scissors
- Art canvas
- Artist's medium or decoupage medium
- Paintbrush
Prepare your canvas. If you purchased gallery wrap canvases, chances are that the company already primed them. However, you can prime the canvas yourself easily. Brush a thin layer of artist's matte medium or decoupage medium over the canvas. Allow it to dry thoroughly and add another layer. Remember to include the sides of the canvas.
Select your paper -- anything from gift wrap to pages from a vintage book or artistic postcards may be used. For an archival quality project, use acid free paper and archival adhesives or artist medium. If you use tissue-thin paper, note that the paper turns translucent when you apply medium and water.
Experiment with several layouts for your embellished canvas project. Place papers in different directions and combinations. Add layers of paper and cut or rip out windows in the top layers to allow underlying papers to peek through. Remember to include the sides of the canvas in your layout.
Apply artist matte medium or decoupage medium to paper segments and smooth them onto the canvas in the desired locations. Wrap the paper around the corners of the canvas or cut out separate segments of paper to cover the sides. The paper can meet at the edge, or one sheet can overlap the other.
Brush the entire papered surface with decoupage or artist's medium to seal and protect the piece.
Tips & Warnings
- Embellish a paper-wrapped canvas with three-dimensional elements such as beads, metal findings, foil or fabric, using craft glue to hold the pieces in place.
- For a speedy, temporary display, wrap large paper such as gift wrap around the front and sides of a canvas, using double-sided tape to hold the paper in place. Swap the decorative paper out with a different style any time you like.
- Hang paper-covered canvas projects away from direct sunlight.

finishing slippers
Hi Everyone,
As promised, I've put together a tutorial on making the Shiraz Slippers from Knitting Everyday Finery.
Let it be said that the slippers are perfectly fine without suede soles or any of the other touches I've put on them in this post. My only advice would be to felt them more than once so that they're really firm. They'll stay on your feet better that way. You can wash them again and again, with or without the soles, and each time they'll come out firm and snug. They take quite a beating. While I was writing my book last winter, I wore them every day around the house, so they've been washed several times and each time I'm amazed at how great they look afterwards.
If you're fainthearted about making the soles, I've made a bunch and I'm selling them. Each set includes linen thread. You can buy them here, but if you're outside NZ it's best to email me for a less expensive shipping charge.
The soles make the slippers more comfortable, and sturdier. I also added an insole to mine, which I didn't include in the book version. You can skip the insole, but the addition of a lovely fabric lining gives them a touch of luxury. Besides, you can put to good use those little bits of fabric you can't bear to part with.
I made these for my friend Ingrid who fell in love with mine and offered to pay me to make some for her (she doesn't knit), but since she went to the trouble of hand printing a lovely curtain to disguise the untidy shelves in my workspace, I decided to make the slippers for her birthday. Love the barter system!
So, to begin.
You 'll need:
• yarn and needles listed on page 79 of Knitting Everyday Finery
• 22 x 22 cm piece of suede, and same size of lining fabric and iron-on interfacing if desired [I found my suede in the scrap bin at a shop that makes custom leather jackets]
• 3 metres of linen thread
• 24 cm length of ribbon
• sewing thread to match lining fabric and ribbon
• hole puncher
Now, the making:
1. The actual knitting takes a very short time. You can comfortably finish a slipper in an evening.
2. Felting: To save water, I've taken to putting my slippers in with other things that can tolerate a hot wash [cleaning rags and dog blankets spring to mind]. I find that they need to be felted a few times. Once they're felted to your satisfaction, give the toes a little stretch and pinch to accentuate the point. It tends to round out a little during the felting.
3. You could can attach the suede pads at this point. Scroll down to #8 to see that process, or hang around here for the fun part, which is to choose a lovely fabric for the insoles. This is the moment when my wanton fabric hoarding is completely justified.Which to choose? My slippers are dark green (Cascade 220 #2446 bronzed green heather).
4. Turn your slippers inside out and make a template for your insoles by drawing around the sole with tracing paper. Cut the fabric with 1.5 cm to spare around the edge. Also cut matching pieces of iron-on interfacing.
5. Iron the interfacing to the WS of the fabric. I stitched the interfacing and fabric together, just a few rows of machine stitching, in a grid pattern. After you do this, iron them again.
6. Sew a loose basting stitch around the edge of the insoles. This will help to turn the edge.
7. They're now ready to sew into place. Pin the insoles to the base of the slipper, then hand sew around the edge.
8. Turn your slippers right side out. Now they're ready for the suede soles.
Trace around the template in the book, then cut our your paper template. Draw around the template on the wrong side of the suede to mark where you'll cut the leather.
9. Using the smallest size puncher, make your holes 5 mm apart and 5 mm from the edge of the suede.
10. Pin the patches to the underside of the slippers. Sew them in place using blanket stitch. I used wool to stitch my first pair, but I wore them so much, the stitching wore through in places, so now I use linen thread which is much stronger.
11. Last touch (if desired): some ribbon trim for the heels. You'll need two 12-cm lengths of ribbon. Folding each piece over 1 cm where it meets the sole, pin it in place up the heel, and make a 3 cm turn at the top, with the resulting loop protruding 1 cm above the heel. Sew in place with a matching thread. Voilà! You have a beautiful pair of slippers!
