A9 TV, August 23rd, 2012
Look, do you see what those characterless bigots said to Hz. Ali (ra)? After the martyrdom of the companions of the Prophet, "Yes, our prophet (pbuh) gave you the good news of Gardens, which is true" said the bigots of that time to Hz. Ali (ra) "But you have changed" said they. They did not like his joy, his cheer, his love for women, his vivacity, and his humorousness. Scoundrels; they were wretched people, look at our beloved Hz. Ali (ra) and look at their treachery; they martyred him while he was performing prayers in the mosque. Bigots have always been trouble and dirt, always. When they get an opportunity, they try to cause trouble, do viciousness, behave cruelly towards Muslims, to do evil. They assume they do evil but they have ascended to the highest level when they martyred Hz. Ali (ra). Then they died as well. They went to hell. What happened? What did they earn? Hz. Ali (ra) is in the Gardens.
(According to the claims of British Newspaper the Telegraph, Ayatollah Ali Hamanei, the spiritual leader of Iran, ordered elite Jerusalem forces of Iran to attack Western powers and their allies regarding the Syria conflict. Among the target countries is also Turkey.)
They are making it up, Allahualem (Allah knows best). Iran won't do such a thing. They are incredibly reserved. I talked to the Ayatollah. We have connections with Iran. They are incredibly reserved, but they act like the tough guy because they need to look that way in front of their people. In their view, they need rightist pronunciation to keep their people. They should play the tough guy towards Israel; they should play the tough guy towards the world. Then their people will support the government. If they act differently, the ordinary people will not support them they think. So they play the tough guy. Such a thing won't happen. Iran will not attack to any country. They would be miserable; they would be in a very difficult position then. I explained this to the Israelis the last time they visited here. They also want to cause trouble with no reason. "They have a nuclear bomb. We will go bombard their nuclear plants" they say. If you go bombard their nuclear plants, you give them a legitimate cause for self defense. Then they will go bomb all your cities. They will bomb with all the rockets and all the planes they have. There will be mass slaughter without rhyme or reason. If they have atomic bombs, then they have atomic bombs. They can hide them underground. If you bomb their nuclear plants, you cannot stop them. These are wrong politics. They understood what I explained them here. Allahualem they gave up their wrong idea.
The Prophet (pbuh) says about Mahdi (as) "...he will follow my path", "...he will not do wrong" says He. He is innocent in his judgments "Because" says the Prophet (pbuh) "he has got an angel, invisible to him, who straightens him, leads him to the right path" He says an angel leads him to the right path. "He will carry patients on his back" says he, he will take care of patients, he will help them, "he will help the weak and will be hospitable" says he, he will take good care of his guests. " "He will help those who stand by the truth" says he. He says he will help the Muslims, the believers, "...he will do what he says" says he. The prophet (pbuh) says "...he will say what he believes" he will not be afraid of anyone. Look, this one is very meaningful. "Allah will bestow Mahdi such power that he will eradicate injustice and wrongdoers over night" says he, over night. "He will substitute religion, revive Islam" Islam will become strong again. "After it became inconsiderable, Islam will again gain importance; after the demise of Islam, he will revive it again" says the Prophet (pbuh) with Allah's will. "Someone who is ignorant, idle and cowardly in his age will become immediately wise, generous and brave." "He will remove the jizyah." No tax will be collected from Christians anymore, neither from Muslims. "He will destroy those who oppose him" says he, with science and knowledge, inshaAllah. "He will practice religion just like in the time of the Prophet (pbuh)." He says it will be based on revelation, that is to say, the four schools will no longer be present. "He will terminate schools from the world" says he, our Prophet (pbuh) states "There will be no sects but genuine and original religion". An Islam which is based on revelation, as the Qur'an says. "His enemies will be imitators of scholars of opinion" in other words, some ignorant people who allegedly follow sects will be opposing him, he says.
Allah mentions those who convey the message without asking for any wage for it in the Qur'an. It is mentioned as a characteristic of believers in the Qur'an. You, my fellows in our cause don't ask for any wage whatsoever. Fisebilillah (you expect nothing in return), everything is for Allah. So Allah gives success, glory and goodness. It is illegitimate for men of the cause to work in the way of Allah for money in return. Therefore he works for His cause for free, and he even spends money for it. He buys and give away books, he provides means for people with his own money.
Surah Hud, verse 51:
"My people! I do not ask you for any wage for it" for my conveying the Islamic message, that is: "My wage is the responsibility of Him who brought me into being. So will you not use your intellect?" states Allah in the Qur'an. They don't use intellect. You work for the sake of Allah. How do you ask for money for Allah's sake? Of course it is free of charge.
Surah al-Furkan, verse 57:
"Say: 'I do not ask you for any wage for it – only that anyone who wants to should make his way towards his Lord.'" That is our statement insestently. We dont ask any wage for it. We speak of Islam for the sake of Allah.
Surah Sâd, verse 86:
"Say: 'I do not ask you for any wage for it, nor am I a man of false pretensions."
Surat Ash-Shu'ara', verse 109:
"I do not ask you for any wage for it. My wage is the responsibility of no one but the Lord of all the worlds." We practise these verses and that is why the unbelievers and hypocrites are so surprised. No wage is asked for the service of Allah.
Do not be worried, the system of Mahdi is up and strong. Allah is arranging Turkey for the system of Mahdi. He is arranging the Middle East. People think disasters are taking place. There are no disasters. There is a design. This arrangement is merely for Mahdiyet (the system of the Mahdi). So don't let this frightening outlook deceive you. Allah also made a design in the time of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). He made a design in the time of the prophet Moses (pbuh) but a design has been carried out right now throughout the world. It is a worldwide design that has been carried out since the time of the prophet Adam. The system of the anti-Christ has been specially created. Now the Dajjal system has been eradicated. Allah brought dajjal to Syria, and now Allah takes the dajjal away from Syria. Allah brought the dajjal to Iraq, and now Allah takes the dajjal away from Iraq. The gates of the system of Mahdi have been opening. The system of Mahdi has 70 gates. 70 closed gates have been opening one by one. When all the gates are open, the system of Mahdi will emerge. I take refuge in Allah from the cursed satan- "You who are enwrapped in your clothing! stay up..." says Allah. Mahdi, who is enwrapped in his clothing, will emerge, inshaAIlah. When these enwrapped clothes are being removed, it hurts, it causes pain. When a woman delivers a baby, she suffers pain but she gives birth eventually. She suffers labor pains. One who endures, he will acquire great merit. Turkey doesn't have a second option, its certainly Mahdiyat. It is her duty. Allah has created that way. Allah brough spiritual relics to Istanbul hundreds of years ago for Mahdi. He let Turks conquer Istanbul in 1453 because Mahdi will emerge from Istanbul. The world has been designed in a specific way by Allah. Mosques have been built in Istanbul for a purpose.2012-10-14 17:23:25

text: I am planning a surf trip to NH or ME in AUG/SEPT. The purpose is to give a lesson to my niece and her boyfriend who both are very anxious to try it out. They live in VT now but are from The Cape and really want to get started. I'm looking for a mellow break that is consistant (for the east coast) in NH or southern ME. The ideal situation would be a hotel within walking distance of a good surf shop (rental wetsuits and a good selection for sale) and a mellow break. I know, the best made plans.... If you have any recommendations, please PM them to me. THANKS!

Imagine a show that's devoted entirely to the sweeter side of food. Cinnamon rolls, birthday cake, pie in a jar… whatever you crave. Enter Unique Sweets, a show that's on mission to find the most creative ways to get your sugar fix across the country.
Unique Sweets, the desserts-only spin-off of Cooking Channel's popular show Unique Eats, premieres Sunday, April 24, at 10:30 p.m. ET. To tempt your sweet tooth while you wait for the premiere, here's a preview of one of the treats featured in the premiere episode: Crack Pie.
Crack Pie was born in the kitchens of the New York restaurant wd~50 when then-pastry chef Christina Tosi threw together basic pastry ingredients (butter, sugar, egg yolks, heavy cream, vanilla) over an oatmeal cookie crust, to make a simple, delicious staff meal dessert. The pie was ravenously consumed and frequently requested by the staff, quickly adopting the name "crack pie" for it's addictive qualities.
When Christina moved on to work at Momofuku Milk Bar, she brought her addictive sweet treat with her. Crack pie's popularity grows, and it even received a shout-out on Live, With Regis and Kelly.
The popularity of the Milk Bar's crack pie is only rivaled by two other unique sweets developed by Christina: a compost cookie that's filled with the usual suspects of butterscotch and chocolate chips, but then decked out with the addition of pretzels, potato chips, coffee, and oats; and cereal milk that is made by toasting corn flakes, steeping them in milk, and then straining them.
The inspiration for the treats offered at the Milk Bar come from all over the map – the flavors of childhood treats, comforting food from moms and grandmas, treats in every corner store, and forbidden late-night junk. They've served soft-serve ice cream in flavors ranging from rosemary, marshmallow sour gummy, and red velvet cake, to potato chip, PB&J, salt n' pepper, and even BBQ sauce. While some of the flavors can seem outside the box, the team is always shooting for approachable and tasty.
This is just a taste of the Unique Sweets offered up Sundays at 10:30 p.m. Be sure to tune in April 24th to catch the start of the sugar rush.
Crack Pie
Yield: two 10" pies
To make this pie you're going to need:
¼ cup butter
1 recipe Oat Cookie (recipe follows)
1 ½ tablespoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 recipe Crack Pie Filling (recipe follows)
dusting of confectioner's sugar
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a microwave, gently melt your butter on a med/low setting for 15-30 seconds. Let it cool until it is not hot to the touch before proceeding.
3. Put the oat cookie, brown sugar and salt in the food processor and pulse it on and off until the cookie is broken down into a wet sand. (If you don't have a food processor, you can fake it till you make it and crumble the oat cookie diligently with your hands.)
4. Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl and, with your hands, knead the butter and ground cookie mixture until the contents of the bowl are moist enough to knead into a ball. If it is not moist enough to do so, gently melt and additional 15-25g of butter and knead it into the oat crust mixture. Divide the oat crust evenly over two 10" pie tins (two pies is always better than one).
5. Using your fingers and the palm of your hand, press the oat cookie crust firmly into both 10-inch pie shells. Make sure the bottom and the walls of the pie shells are evenly covered. Use the pie shells immediately or, wrapped well in plastic, store the pie shells at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
6. Place both pie shells on a ½ sheet pan. Divide the crack pie filling evenly over both crusts. The filling should fill the crusts ¾ way full. And bake at 350F for 20 minutes. During this time, the crack pie will still be very jiggly, but should become golden brown on top. Know your oven, which corners bake your cookies or pies lighter or darker and take these nooks into consideration when placing your pies in the oven—use the shelf and corners that brown your baked goods best.
7. At 20 minutes, open the oven door and reduce the baking temperature to 325F Depending on your oven this will take 5-10 minutes—keep the pies in the oven during this process. When the oven reads 325F, close the door and finish baking the crack pie for 5 minutes.
8. At 5 minutes, the crack pie should still be jiggly in the bulls eye center, but not in the outer center circle. If the crack pie is still too jiggly, leave the pies in the oven an additional 5 minutes in the 325F oven.
9. Gently take the half sheet pan of crack pies out of the oven and transfer to a rack to cool at room temperature. You can speed up the cooling process by carefully transferring the pies to the fridge or freezer if you're in a hurry. Freeze your pie for as little as 3 hours or overnight to condense the filling for a dense final product—the signature of a perfectly executed crack pie.
Wrap the crack pies if you are not serving them right away. Decorate your pies with 10x through a fine sieve or the pinch of your fingers.
Oat Cookie
yield: crust for two 10" pies
½ cup butter
1/3 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 egg yolk
½ cup + 1 tablespoon flour
1 cup rolled oats
scant 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
pinch baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1. Heat the oven to 350F.
2. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars on medium high for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy and pale yellow in color. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.
3. On a lower speed, add egg to incorporate. Increase the speed back up to a medium high for 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar granules fully dissolve and the mixture is a pale white color.
4. On a lower speed, add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix 60-75 sec until your dough comes together and all remnants of dry ingredients have incorporated. Your dough will still be a slightly fluffy, butter fatty mixture in comparison to your average cookie dough. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.
5. Pam spray and line a quarter sheet pan with parchment or a Silpat. Plop the oat cookie dough in the center of the pan and with a spatula, spread it out until it is ¼" thick. The dough won't end up covering the entire pan, this is okay. Bake the oat cookie at 350F for 15 minutes.
6. Cool completely before using in the crack pie recipe.
Filling for Crack Pie
yield: filling for two 10" pies
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
¼ cup milk powder
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 egg yolks
1. In a microwave, gently melt the butter down in 15-second intervals. Make sure it is not hot to the touch.
2. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed, mix together the dry ingredients until they are evenly distributed. If you try to mix the crack pie filling in on any higher than a low speed, you will incorporate too much air in the following steps and your pie will not be dense an gooey- the essence of the crack pie.
3. Add the melted butter to the mixer and paddle until all the dry ingredients are moist.
4. Add the heavy cream and vanilla and mix until the white from the cream has completely disappeared into the mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
5. Add the egg yolks to the mixer, paddling them in to the mixture just to combine. Be careful not to aerate the mixture.

Time is a strange thing.
Also strange is the fact that I am even thinking of time. I never did before; I never had a reason to. Time was just something that happened, no more and no less. The days passed, the months went by, and the years dragged on. None of that could be changed, so as a dwarf, I saw little need to think about it. There were things far more deserving of consideration than whimsical musings on the nature of time.
And perhaps even stranger than my current thoughts is the place I choose to have them. I stand on the steppes of Rhûn and look eastward past a field of corpses, watching the horizon for the first sight of dawn. Behind me in the west sit the armed camps of Gondor, Rohan, Ithilien, Dol Amroth, and Aglarond. All is now silent and still, but not long ago, this was the site of a terrible battle, the likes of which I have not seen since Dunland invaded Westfold. The conflict lasted several days, a fact I realized only late last night at its conclusion. I now find myself tired and worn, and I should probably be resting as I took a hard blow to the head. But I am not. Instead, against my better judgement, I am standing here in the cold darkness of early morning, and I am thinking about time.
This is, of course, Legolas's fault.
Befriending an elf comes with a price, a lesson I learned many years ago. I do not begrudge that price, but neither do I ignore it. For better or worse, Legolas has changed me. There are times when my mind becomes a forge for thoughts and feelings that have no place in a dwarf, yet somehow they have crafted a home within me. To my kinsmen, I am now aloof and distant; a puzzle that is better left alone. Part of me grieves this loss of self and kin, but another part—a part that seems to grow daily—no longer cares.
Yet these changes are not the only reason I stand in the darkness and think of time, and once again, the fault rests upon the shoulders of my elven friend. It was on Legolas's behalf that I came here, you see. Concern for him has driven me to this point, and no matter what our friendship costs either of us, it has given far more than it has ever demanded. So for the sake of that friendship, I wait here in the cold, I watch for the dawn, and I think about what time might mean to Legolas.
It is no easy task. Elves do not perceive time the way mortals do. If forced to endure the endless life of an elf, a mortal mind would shatter beneath the weight of ages. But an elven mind is different. Or rather, it is supposed to be. Yet for Legolas, that may no longer be true, and here lies the basis for my fears: I believe that Legolas's perception of time has changed to the point where almost it resembles that of a man's or a dwarf's. I wish to scoff at this idea. To laugh at the absurd notion that an elf's thoughts might in any way resemble my own. But I cannot. I have seen too many things that prove otherwise.
It began years ago when Legolas only rarely visited Aglarond. When he arrived, I would usually greet him with the comment that it had been a long time since our last meeting, and a confused look would flash across his eyes because the time had not been long for him. Nor had it occurred to him that it might be long for me. Why should it? Legolas once said that the leaves in Mirkwood had fallen five hundred times since the building of Meduseld and that this seemed but a little while to the elves. If five hundred years did not qualify as a long time, twelve months between visits would feel as nothing.
But then things began to change. After a while, Legolas ceased to be surprised when I said that a long time had passed. A few years later, he voiced agreement with me and began to increase the frequency of his visits. Eventually, Legolas himself made the first remark about the length of time between meetings. When I first noticed what was happening, I wondered if it was done for my benefit. I will give up a mithril mine ere I admit this to Legolas, but he has made many concessions to the mortal world and I suspected this to be another one. But then I joined him in Minas Tirith one summer where a number of ambassadors and ministers from across Middle-earth had come to discuss trade. He greeted me warmly and observed that a long time had passed since our last meeting. Then he turned to his brother Narsigil, whose party had arrived shortly after my own, and made the same comment.
It had been less than a year since he'd last seen Narsigil.
That was when I first became concerned. Since then, I have seen other signs. Mahal, even my own changes are proof of my fears, for if Legolas can affect my thoughts, cannot I similarly affect his? The evidence is clear: Legolas's perception of time has been altered. I do not know how much it has been altered, and I doubt that he will ever experience each passing minute and second as a mortal might. Nevertheless it cannot be denied that he does have a heightened awareness of time. And for an elf, such awareness can be dangerous.
Shaking my head, I turn toward the horizon and look for the sun, but she is still hidden. I wish she would rise, for my heart is heavy and things tend to look brighter in the clear light of morning. It seems as though days have passed since I came to stand here, yet I know that only a few hours have gone by. And as I think on this, it occurs to me that perhaps this is similar to what Legolas experiences.
My father once told me that battles last only moments, and he was right. In battle, there is no past and there is no future. Not for dwarves, at any rate. There is only the present. Only the moment. And this moment continues enemy after enemy, blow after blow, until it is one continuous moment without beginning and without end. A dwarf faces an opponent and either kills him or is killed by him. If the dwarf is fortunate, he moves on to his next opponent, and this continues for as long as the dwarf is able. Hours and even days may pass, but the dwarf will not be aware of them. His only focus is his enemies, his allies, and his immediate surroundings. His only objective is to survive until the next moment. Nothing else matters.
Actually, I should not say that. There are times in which it is possible to become aware of other things. Sometime during the battle we just fought—I do not know when, for it has all run together—I tripped over the corpse of a man who had been guarding my back earlier. After recovering from my stumble and dispatching my enemy, I paused and realized that I had felt no grief for this man's death. I had noted his passing and taken steps to ensure that others protected my back but nothing more. The man had ceased to be a part of my moment, and as there were no ties of friendship to weld us together, his death held no meaning for me.
Mayhap this is what time is like for elves, particularly those who live among mortals. Locked within their own moments, they do not truly experience the changes around them, nor do they feel the passage of time. But once in a while, something happens to draw their attention outward. Something like a mortal friendship. The moments in which they live become disjointed, and before they realize their own danger, the moments are over and they arrive at the part of battle I dread most: The day after.
I have heard it said among men that, while battles are long, the following day is even longer. And to the latter part of this statement, I add my own hearty agreement. The minutes of the following day tick away so slowly that by its end I feel as though I have gone mad. There are no moments when time ceases to matter. There is simply the past and the future. The past is a grim story of who has fallen and who yet clings to life. The future is a dark, uncertain passage that some will reach and some will not. And in between is the present, where long hours creep painfully by and those of us still hale wait for tidings of our friends and companions, helpless to do anything more.
Perhaps this is what Legolas now experiences. In terms of time and his understanding of it, perhaps he has reached the day after the battle. He no longer lives in moments but has instead become aware of the changing mortal world. He marks time and feels its passage. He thinks of the future and what it will bring. He watches those around him age and weaken, helpless to prevent it. And equally helpless, I watch him in return, knowing that he has millennia left to live and that if he does not change his perception, his mind will not survive. He cannot count the passing days if he wishes to continue, and he certainly cannot think of the years as long. Grief and madness will destroy him!
I squeeze my eyes shut—noting that the sun has still not risen—and I curse both the elf and myself. I would like to say that this, too is Legolas's fault, but I cannot. He did not choose this alone. I made a choice as well, and together beneath Lothlórien's leaves, we forged our friendship. I have since been greatly rewarded by this choice, and I would not trade it back for all the lost treasures of Khazad-dûm. But as I said before, it comes with a price, and at the moment, that price is sorrow and fear. And beyond that, there is rage. Rage at what has happened to Legolas. Rage at what he will face in the end. Rage that I can do nothing to prevent it!
My anger is hot and deep, and I let it fill me for it shields my heart against pain. But even as I am taken by my fury, something in the back of my mind chimes a warning, and I pause, pulling away from the rage.
It seems I have a visitor.
I cannot say how I know someone is behind me. I cannot say how I know it is Legolas. He certainly does not give away his position through sound. Unless he is underground or in halls of stone, he is absolutely silent. But somehow I have learned to…sense him. If that sounds strange to you, then rest assured that it sounds equally strange to me. Nevertheless, I know he is here, and I also know that he is injured and should not be.
I turn my head and give him my fiercest glare. Not that it does any good. Legolas was born into a family that could crumble Erebor with a dark look. But I must make my disapproval known, so I continue to glare as I run my eyes over him, putting behind my gaze all the anger that still simmers in my mind.
He looks better than when I saw him last. In the healers' tent, he was white and shaking, his teeth grinding together as the healers worked on his arm. It had been broken and bent in places where arms are not supposed to bend, and it pained me to even look at it. The dregs they gave him were slow to work, but the healers could not delay his treatment for they had many other patients to tend. So I stayed at his side, holding him still while his arm was set, and after the healers left, I tarried until the medicines sent him to sleep. Then I took my own leave, knowing that he was safe, that I needed to escape from chaos of the camps, and that he would follow me as soon as he woke.
Sometimes it worries me that I can predict him so easily.
"It has been barely three hours since you fell asleep. You should be resting."
Legolas arches his brow at my words, and piercing gray eyes travel the length of my body, lingering over the bloody bandage tied about my head. "I am not the only one who should be resting."
His response says many things, and I have learned to hear them all. He concedes that he needs rest, he argues that I also need rest, and he informs me that if I press the matter, he is more than prepared to return the favor. In light of this, I decide to overlook the fact that we are both probably better off in bed, but I cannot completely forego concern for his injuries. There is a steady flicker of pain in his eyes that has nothing to do with his endless longing for the sea. "How fares your arm?"
Legolas glances down at the sling that supports the injured limb, gingerly running his left hand over the tight wrappings. "It will mend in time. What of your head?"
"Head wounds bleed more than they ought. It will be well."
His expression is skeptical, but he nods and says no more. As if by agreement, we turn together to watch the horizon, and I see that the sun is finally beginning to rise. But it is slow this day, or so it seems to me, and again I am reminded of what Legolas must endure because of his friendship with mortals. Because of his friendship with me. Legolas will survive the march of time, but those around him will not. And if the endless years of Arda continue to seem long to him once his friends are gone… I shiver at the thought. Perhaps after our deaths, Legolas will finally heed his heart and cross the sea, and perhaps then he will return to that endless elven moment. The moment in which change is noticed but never truly felt. I hope very much that this will be the case, but a part of me—the part that can predict his actions—fears that Legolas will cling to his new perception of time, refusing to let go of the past. And if he does this… I shiver again. Eternal madness is a fate I would not wish upon my foulest enemies, much less my dearest friend.
Did he know, I wonder, that this would be part of the price for our friendship? Did he fully understand what his choices would cost him? Did he realize what it meant to be sundered from the moment and trapped in the day after? My throat tightens and my hands grow cold as I imagine the wearying toil of ceaseless years in which even the days are considered long, and in desperation I turn to look at Legolas, hoping to find some elven reassurance that will set my heart at ease.
Sensing my gaze, he turns to me, and the first rays of the sun reflect upon immortal eyes that are weary and pained. "It will be a trying day, my friend," he murmurs. "Already the very minutes seem long."
And I turn my head away so that he will not see my tears.
Author's Notes: First of all, many thanks to the encouraging words of Raven, Hobbes, and Silvren Ithilden, and HUGE thanks go out to Fliewatuet, who not only figured out the source of a major problem with this fic but also told me how to fix it. Thank you! Also, my sincere apologies if this fic failed to live up to your interest. Sorry again, but I did warn you that it was experimental!
On to other things, Legolas's remark about the leaves in Mirkwood falling five hundred times since Meduseld's construction can be found inThe Two Towers on page 142 of the Ballantine 50th anniversary edition. The chapter to look at is "The King Of The Golden Hall." Finally, the battle in Rhûn that this story references is not based on anything specific within canon or within my own stories. It is simply a moment caught out of time, if you will. The exact time and place is impossible to determine because it is the nature of moments to forget such things.

The Presentation of the Christ Child in the Temple
about 1320
Giotto, Italian, about 1267–1337
Tempera and gold on wood, 45.2 x 43.6 cm
Genre: European Art, Paintings
Location: Gothic Room
Accession Number: P30w9
At first glance the small painting of The Presentation of the Christ Child in the Temple looks like a self-contained object. It has a balanced composition: two pairs of standing figures flank a dainty ciborium that symbolizes the Temple of Jerusalem. Following the gospel of Luke, the artist has illustrated the dramatic moment when Simeon and the prophetess Anna recognize the Christ Child as the savior.
Ever since the early nineteenth century, the Presentation has been known to be one of a series of seven paintings of the life of Christ (the others are in Munich, London, and New York). Although some scholars have questioned the traditional attribution of the series to Giotto, all the scenes are devised with such imagination and executed with such depth of feeling that only he could have painted them. There is nothing stereotyped about the compositions: each action is expressive, each face is individual. Thus, in the Presentation, the child struggles to get back in his mother's arms. None of Giotto's followers made such telling observations of human behavior.

"For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future."
—John F. Kennedy
This entry marks the 15th anniversary of the Chemical Reaction column. The world was remarkably different in August 1998. Google was incorporated on September 4, 1998, and its beta version was already beginning to supplant early search engines. Facebook was launched in February 2004, and the first iPhone became available in June 2007. The revolutionary changes in communication were not created by our industry, but, the bottom line is, they have transformed it more than any new raw material or formulation ever will.
So what hasn't changed? We are still waiting for the Final Sunscreen Monograph. So much material was released by FDA in 2011 that it looked enough like a monograph to fool even the industry press, but while we have indeed had updates on testing and labeling, it isn't really a monograph. The biggest substantive change is the need to address UVA to create broad spectrum protection. For consumers, in this regard, the biggest change from 1998 to now is that SPF has moved off the beach and into almost every skin product form, contributing to the double letter phenomenon.
On another front, we have wanted to be "green" for 20 years, but we still can't agree on a definition of "green," natural" or "sustainable." The January 1999 issue of Global Cosmetic Industry had a feature article titled "You Call That Natural?!". Well, here we are in 2013, and we still struggle with what natural is—or is not. Two decades of confusion and creative marketing have diluted the concepts to the point where they are just part of the background noise. Companies unwilling to pay for certification, or who consider the standard certification processes lacking, simply create their own standards. The stock procedure is to put "green" somewhere on the label, prominently display a picture of a leaf, and consumers instinctively feel that, in some way, it's better for themselves and the Earth.
Another issue that was around in 1998 and is still with us is the resistance toward transparency in fragrance,1 which leaves a festering distrust on the part of some NGOs and consumer groups. There is probably a weakening of opposition in the industry to ingredient disclosure, but it is unclear if or when this issue will be resolved. The basic points for not revealing ingredients and their counterarguments:
It would be wise to accept transparency and take the biggest complaint away from the critics.
The biggest growth area in the industry remains skin care, led by cosmeceuticals—though the term still has no legal meaning. And it's worth noting that the more a product really works and claims as much, the more it invites a warning letter from the FDA [see "Marketing and Regulations: Friends or Foes? Or Both?" for more on this topic]. Cutting-edge beauty companies are now working with genetics, the epigenome, DNA repair and anything that can turn the clock back on aging skin. But do we really want a cosmetic company, no matter how technically sophisticated, to play with DNA? Maybe a researcher from Johns Hopkins would be a better choice for such endeavors.
In any event, we now seem to have put cosmeceuticals on the back burner as all attention is on the double letter products: BB, CC, DD. One must be an initiate to even know what the letters mean, and of course more double letters are sure to come. Popular for years in Asia, multifunctional products have taken Western markets by storm lately. BB cream stands for blemish balm, blemish base or beauty balm. CC stands for color control or color correcting. DD cream has been defined as "dynamic do all" (what happened to the A?). If one Googles EE cream, one finds a breed of dachshund, which may create some confusion during casual Web searches for skin care.
So where will the future lead us? Information and communication are the keys for both the industry's relationship to consumers and for more effective product development.
In terms of consumers access to information, we find a double-edged sword. On the plus side it allows a flow of promotional material and allows user interaction and feedback. On the down side, it provides an unfiltered forum for critics of the industry who often cite bad science or no science at all in their pronouncements. There is a small but vocal group that firmly believes that cosmetics are delivery systems for endocrine disruptors and carcinogens. It has always been a challenge for cold rational science to prevail over hot, raw, uninformed emotions. The industry must learn ways to speak reason to consumers in a compelling fashion.
Discover how to optimize your formulations for feel, stability, delivery, trials and claims in Cosmetics & Toiletries online, video course, Optimization for Cosmetics.
Based on the lectures of well-respected and dearly missed colleague, Johann W. Wiechers, PhD, Optimization for Cosmetics is instructed by Steven Abbott, PhD who leads participants through a series of 5 lessons. The course allows formulators to tackle old problems with fresh ideas and will increase personal development and benefit whichever company they work for.

Paris Hilton for Guess. So classy.
Here's Paris Hilton ad campaign for the Guess Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Because apparently they want to lose a lot of money. Who knows? That said, two observations:
1. If PETA truly cares about animals, why aren't they armed to the teeth and pulling that Chihuahua out of Paris' house? I mean, Michael Vick gets jail time yet this chick visibly commits animal abuse in an international ad campaign. Where's the justice?
2. Are my eyes deceiving me or did they seriously airbrush thighs onto Paris to make her look heavier? I can understand cropping out the tentacles, but it's pretty much a scientific fact she has the legs of a flamingo. No, really, I tried to stick her in my yard once. Totally killed my lawn.
NOTE: I tossed in some old shots from Guess to round out the pics. Feel free to point that out as much as possible.

The Berlin Heart pediatric ventricular assist device is a mechanical cardiac support system for critically ill pediatric patients suffering from severe heart failure. The device is designed to support pediatric patients of all age groups, from newborns to teenagers, who are awaiting heart transplantation.
The device itself varies in size based on the age of the recipient. The majority of the device is external connecting to small tubes that are implanted inside the chest. Allowing the child, who was previously confined to bed and breathing machines, to move around and be involved in some of their regular activities.
The device takes over the heart's work of pumping blood to the body. Since it efficiently supplies blood to the body, organs can now function properly and results in the overall improvement of organ functioning. Making the child a better candidate for transplant.
The Berlin Heart is the only device designed for the use of children. In 2011, the FDA approved the use of the device in the pediatric population. Children's Hospital of Wisconsin was one of 15 sites selected to participate in the clinical study to help attain FDA approval.

Derek Stepan:
On the speed of the scrimmages:
"It's faster. It's definitely faster. You've got to be thinking three seconds ahead. You've got to be able to get pucks on stick battles, you've got to be strong on your skates, you've got to be winning draws. Winning draws are very important for me right now because they get puck possession. It's quicker, but it's something that I'm starting to get a grasp of, which is good. I'm starting to feel more comfortable with the puck, more and more each day. Even the first day, it just took me a couple of shifts to get going, so it was good."
He laughed when it was mentioned to him that he scored on his first shift.
"The puck seemed to find me. A little puck luck never hurt anyone."
On playing with Gaborik and Frolov, and the possibility that he could actually wind up there:
"It's something that you've just got to control what you can control. I've said that probably 100 times. I keep saying it, but it's something I try to do each day — come to the rink, don't really worry about it, just play your game. Playing with those two is just unbelievable. It's quite a game when you're playing with two guys like that. You just try to do what you can do to hold your end and make sure you can compete with those guys. I just try to find them and get the puck to them because they'll do the rest."
On whether there's an intimidation playing with players like that.
"Yeah, initially. Probably like a couple of minutes like, 'Wow, this is pretty cool' — something that not many people get a chance to do, but then it set in and it says, 'OK, now I've really got to turn up my game. Playing with high level players, your game always gets tweaked a little bit. So it was something that, at first was, 'This is cool; this is something special' and then it's like 'Alright, now I've really got to get to the grind.'
"It was fun. I had a blast with those two guys. For some reason … I don't know how chemistry works. You step on the ice and just seem to find guys, and for us three, we just clicked. I don't know if it was first-day, first-scrimmage, everyone's excited to play, or chemistry, or what. But I'm excited.
"I don't really know how to explain chemistry. If you can find it, it's something special. … Plus I didn't take chemistry in school."
Marian Gaborik on Stepan:
"It was pretty good. I didn't really know him. Was he in camp last year? (no). So, he's got pretty good skill, good skater, playmaker. So I think he's going to see some exhibition games for sure, so we'll see. It's still early but he looked very good.
"Some of the guys, first camp, you're scared to do things. But he wasn't. He tried to make plays, he was good defensively, he scored a goal. He made some nice plays, which is good. He's not scared to play, and that's very good."
Alex Frolov had a hat trick that first day with Gaborik and Stepan, so Gaborik was asked, kiddingly, if he's going to be an assist guy this year.
"We'll see," he smiled. "I like to score goals, too."
On Frolov:
"He's good. He's strong. In the corners he's strong, and he can finish as well. So I'm sure we're going to play some exhibition games together and hopefully, who knows who's going to be at center? We'll see what happens."
Here's Tortorella on Stepan, courtesy of Andrew Gross blog:
"He's played in some pretty high-intensity tournaments along the way, the World Championships and college. I think most of our kids, including him, have handled themselves well coming into a big camp. He equipped himself very well. Little Kennedy has done some good things in the middle of the ice. I'm just happy that guys are competing and we're able to see some of the young kids step up here. I think our kids have played very well as we've gone through the early part of camp."
On Stepan playing with Gaborik and Frolov:
"Once we got our numbers, I put some teams together. No question in our mind we want to look at Stepan in a lot of different situations. We want to evaluate how he handles things and see where he is as we go through camp because we're going to have make a decision on that position with him. So we want to look at him a lot of different situations as far as the big club is concerned."

One big difference between Jess and JBoss Rules, the top two open source rule-based systems (reviewed here by James Owen), is the degree of friendliness of their rule languages to ordinary mortals. Venerable Jess is pithy and cryptic, owing to its roots in artificial intelligence research. JBoss Rules, the new kid on the block, offers a more natural syntax that business users will find easier to grasp. A bit of history from James:
Jess opened the door for expert systems (especially rule-based systems) to move from LISP to C to C++ to Java. After all, CLIPS ran as a C/C++ compiler that was nothing more than an extension of LISP/OPS (ListProcessing/Official Production Systems, "production" being a rule) to C then to C++. Jess was just the next logical extension. Dr. Ernest Friedman-Hill wanted to keep in lock-step with CLIPS which wanted to stay in lock-step with OPS which still has that same, archaic syntax. Unfortunate, because it isn't what the Java guys wanted.
But the EE guys picked it right up, the plant production people (oil patch guys) used it, and so did I and a few academics who could get it for free. (I had to pay my $100 for the source code just like everyone else.) Jess was and is a great system, but it hasn't caught on with many in the business and financial world. After all, the business analysts make the rules, the IT guys have to write them in whatever language they can master, and Jess was not on the top of the list until about three or four years ago.
The Jess code for the assignSeat or find_seating rule (same code, different names) of the Miss Manners benchmark is shown below. As you can imagine, the old CLIPS syntax will present a steep learning curve to most business analysts. However, programmers will find it much more concise than the equivalent code in JBoss Rules or some other BRMS engines.
(defrule find_seating ?ctxt <- (Context (state assign_seats)) (Seating (seat1 ?seat1) (seat2 ?seat2) (name2 ?n2) (id ?id) (pid ?pid) (pathDone yes)) (Guest (name ?n2) (sex ?s1) (hobby ?h1)) (Guest (name ?g2) (sex ~?s1) (hobby ?h1)) ?count <- (Count (c ?c)) (not (Path (id ?id) (name ?g2))) (not (Chosen (id ?id) (name ?g2) (hobby ?h1))) => (assert (Seating (seat1 ?seat2) (name1 ?n2) (name2 ?g2) (seat2 (+ ?seat2 1)) (id ?c) (pid ?id) (pathDone no))) (assert (Path (id ?c) (name ?g2) (seat ( + ?seat2 1)))) (assert (Chosen (id ?id) (name ?g2) (hobby ?h1))) (modify ?count (c (+ ?c 1))) (printout t seat " " ?seat2 " " ?n2 " " ?g2 crlf) (modify ?ctxt (state make_path)))
Compare the above with the same code (the now-famous Miss Manners assignSeat or find_seat rule) for JBoss Rules shown below. The JBoss Rules code is easy and familiar enough that most business analysts could learn it in only a day's time (with a bit of help from a Java programmer).
rule findSeating when context : Context( state == Context.ASSIGN_SEATS ) Seating( seatingId:id, seatingPid:pid, pathDone == true, seatingRightSeat:rightSeat, seatingRightGuestName:rightGuestName ) Guest( name == seatingRightGuestName, rightGuestSex:sex, rightGuestHobby:hobby ) Guest( leftGuestName:name , sex != rightGuestSex, hobby == rightGuestHobby ) count : Count() not ( Path( id == seatingId, guestName == leftGuestName) ) not ( Chosen( id == seatingId, guestName == leftGuestName, hobby == rightGuestHobby) ) then int rightSeat = seatingRightSeat.intValue(); int seatId = seatingId.intValue(); int countValue = count.getValue(); Seating seating = new Seating( countValue, seatId, false, rightSeat, seatingRightGuestName, rightSeat + 1, leftGuestName ); assert( seating ); Path path = new Path( countValue, rightSeat + 1, leftGuestName ); assert( path ); Chosen chosen = new Chosen( seatId, leftGuestName, rightGuestHobby ); assert( chosen ); System.err.println( "find seating : " + seating + " : " + path + " : " + chosen); count.setValue( countValue + 1 ); modify( count ); context.setState( Context.MAKE_PATH ); modify( context ); end

Sorry. I didn't see a minute of the game. Heard some of it on the radio while I was at a local playoff semifinal (an OT game that didn't start nearly on time). Then I sat down at 1 a.m. to watch the replay, and instead they were showing a Jay-Z concert. Uhhhh.
Didn't see the Derek Stepan hit on Mike Green everybody's talking about. Don't have any idea what happened to Ruslan Fedotenko. Don't have a clue about how bad the Capitals were, and whether the new OvechTrick is getting shut out.
But …
1) This is why they keep Erik Christensen around. Because they see the skill he has, because they think he can pop at any time. John Tortorella likes him, and he's a monster in the shootout. So, I guess the theory goes, how bad could he be as a fourth-liner who you might be able to move up and who might help you one of these days when you're dying for a goal.
2) That's two good ones in a row for the goalie, who despite all his struggles, has eight shutouts.
3) Unless I'm mistaken, the Rangers have won four of six. So where are the Chicken Littles and the "Trade Everybodys!" today?
4) Somebody mentioned in the game thread: McDonagh=Monster.
Anybody have anything to add to help me out here?
Wow. I just saw the Stepan hit. I don't know about it. It was definitely a head shot. Blind side? Not sure. Was he just getting position to play the puck without getting himself squished, as he had moments earlier by Green, who sent him head-first into the boards (also no call)? I don't know. It's borderline at best.
I also didn't realize until now that Green was lying in the corner, shaken up, when Eminger scored. Can anybody tell me if Green returned, or if it was one of those "Pittsburgh" injuries? If it was one of those, Green sure helped his team go down the toilet by allowing that first goal.

Even though he wasn't the Mets owner, George Steinbrenner still left a lasting impression on all of baseball, especially in New York City. Spokesman Howard Rubenstein said he died about 6:30 a.m. this morning from a heart attack.
Here is the story from The Journal News:
By CHAD JENNINGS and SAM BORDEN
The Journal News
George Steinbrenner, the iconic owner of the New York Yankees for more than three decades, died early Tuesday morning, after suffering massive heart attack at his home in Tampa, Fla. Steinbrenner was 80.
His family confirmed Steinbrenner's death Tuesday morning in a statement.
The news came soon after multiple reports out of Tampa said Steinbrenner had been rushed to a Florida hospital after suffering a heart attack late Monday night.
"He was a visionary and a giant in the world of sports. He took a great but struggling franchise and turned it into a champion again," the Yankees said in a statement. "He was an incredible and charitable man. First and foremost he was devoted to his entire family – his beloved wife, Joan; his sisters, Susan Norpell and Judy Kamm, his children, Hank, Jennifer, Jessica and Hal; and all of his grandchildren."
Steinbrenner, or "The Boss" as he was known, had been in declining health in recent years. He was seen around the team less and less – both during the season and in spring training – after collapsing at a funeral for a friend in 2003.
Steinbrenner was the longest tenured owner in Major League Baseball, having owned the Yankees since 1973. The Yankees won 11 American League pennants and seven World Series titles under Steinbrenner, including last year's World Series – their first at the new Yankee Stadium.
Steinbrenner turned 80 years old on July 4. As recently as Friday he was at the Yankees minor league complex in Florida where he told an Associated Press reporter he was "feeling good."
The following is some coverage of the death of the iconic figure.

MANAGER Carl Heeley described Worcester City's performance in beating Boston United 3-0 as "sensational".
The Blue and Whites signed off the campaign in style with their 13th victory of the campaign courtesy of two Tyler Weir strikes and one from top-scorer Daniel Nti.
"I thought we were sensational," Heeley said. "The second-half is as well as we've played all season. Considering we were playing against a team who had to beat us to get in the play-offs, we looked like the side who had more desire.
"I thought we bossed the game for 90 minutes all over the park and if had been more convincing I don't think anybody could have argued."
He continued: "We tried to impress on the players to put a show on for the home fans because they've been good enough to make an effort to travel across from Worcester.
"It's always nice when you get a good away following, because it adds a bit of spice, but it was about us putting on a performance on for our own fans.
"They can all go away delighted and we can look forward to the summer now and have a few weeks off.
"In an ideal world, we wanted to try to better our points total from last season but I appreciate that was probably a target too much. But to equal our points record in such an emphatic style, we're delighted with that."
On Weir's double, the City manager said: "They were two super strikes. The first one he moved the defender out of the way and hit it back across the keeper and the second one was a fabulous strike."
Heeley also praised the efforts of Nti, who scored his 16th goal of the campaign against Boston.
He said: "I think there's a lot of improvement in Dan's game but for a first season, his goal return has been quite impressive. What we've got to remember, for eight to 10 weeks he had a really barren spell when he was just lost form. But he's come back with a bang and I thought he was brilliant against Boston."

Lemmi Promoted to Women's Tennis Full-time Assistant
Liberty Women's Tennis Head Coach Jeff Maren has announced the promotion of Giancarlo Lemmi for the upcoming 2013-14 season. Lemmi, who was the Lady Flames' graduate assistant last season, will now serve as a full-time assistant coach.
Lemmi helped guide the senior-less Lady Flames to a 6-3 conference record and a berth in the Big South Championship semifinals in 2012-13, Maren's first season as head coach.
A native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Lemmi graduated from Liberty in 2012 after a successful playing career on the men's tennis team. He is the program's all-time leader in doubles wins (79) and ranks second in singles victories (72). Lemmi was a two-time Big South all-conference honoree and a two-time Big South All-Academic team selection.

Special Edition: Healing hearts after Sandy
People I love experienced some of the most devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy earlier this week. Family members and friends living in New York City and on Long Island are thankfully safe, but living through post-disaster conditions as they try to return to daily life. Many are still without power, dealing with damage to their homes and neighborhoods, have no transportation, no heat, and limited access to basic supplies. It is scary to know that even while pushing through this difficult time, they are also at increased risk for experiencing sexual trauma.
My New York family is definitely a tough breed. We can't even convince them to leave their homes for a few days of heat, hot water, and warm meals—and I don't think it's because of my cooking! For me, it feels like I am so far away, and so limited in the help I can offer. I'm thankful that they have many of the protective factors that help to build resiliency and safety after the storm. They have shelter, support, and access to so many resources. At the same time, I worry for the many people who do not have access to these things. We also know that the sexual assault prevention and support system has been effected in the aftermath of Sandy. Staff, volunteers and organizations are going through the same experiences as the people in my New York Family. If you'd like to learn more about the risk and protective factors for sexual violence after a disaster situation, please look into Sexual Violence in Disasters: A planning guide for prevention and response. English-language and Spanish-language versions of the book are available online. You can also take a free 1 hour online course that was recently made available:Sexual Violence in Disasters: Understanding the Scope of the Problem.
One way that I think many of us can help, even though we're far away, is by deciding to make a donation to the Relief Fund for Sexual Assault Victims. There are many different ways to make a donation. With the new Text-to-Donate option, just text PREVENT to 80077 to make a $10 donation. We also have a new way for people to contribute by buying Cards that Care, where 100% of proceeds support the relief fund. Help us by sharing the Relief Fund Flyer in your community. Simply sharing this information on social networks will help to build funds for victims and make a difference. I really, truly appreciate any help you can provide in this effort.

HOUSTON - A woman was hospitalized after a thief pushed her to the ground and dragged her in the parking outside a southwest Houston Starbucks store, investigators said.
Houston police said the attack happened outside the store on the Southwest Freeway near Wilcrest about 9:15 p.m. Thursday.
Susan Turner, 61, was with a friend when she was ambushed, police said.
After the attack, Turner was rushed to St. Luke's Hospital. Rick Turner said his wife suffered a broken arm and a broken hip and is in extreme pain. He said she is not yet well enough to come home.
"They've got to figure out how she's going to be able to get around," he said.
The thief got away with Susan Turner's purse, detectives said.
"People are getting desperate nowadays," one shopper said. "It's scary."
Police said they are talking to witnesses to try to identify a suspect.
Susan Turner's attacker was described as being in his mid to late 20s, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall and 160 pounds.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Work Flawless!!! Thanks men!!!
Basically it's the same procedure as in secure_it's tutorial for Nessus 3.2.1
Download packages
As you can see I've installed the Ubuntu NessusClient package and you'll get some dependency problems with a solution further down in thread. (Don't bother with the debian package. You'll get the same result - missing dependencies)
dpkg -i Nessus-4.0.0-ubuntu804_i386.deb
Configure the certificate
# /opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-mkcert
Add admin user
# /opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-adduser
register here to get the activation key
# /opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --register 'here goes your key'
Now before installing the client you need to install some missing dependencies
apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-gui libqtcore4 libqt4-network libqt4-script libqt4-xml libqt4-dbus libqt4-test libqtgui4 libqt4-svg libqt4-opengl libqt4-designer libqt4-assistant
(all in one line)
dpkg -i NessusClient-4.0.0-ubuntu804_i386.deb
# /etc/init.d/nessusd start
And start the client from the Menu>Intenet>NessusClient or use the CLI
Work Flawless!!! Thanks men!!!
Thanks muchly. Was getting a "Segmentation Fault" with the Nessus Client when trying to authenticate until I installed those dependancy packages you mentioned. Now its working nicely!
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
If anyone gets an error when they try to install the dependencies try running
apt-get update
After that it was smooth sailing. Thanks!
when I export an nessus4.nbe is it working with metasoilt framework3.3?
Awesome Tut!!
Thank You
Thanks awesome tutorial I was looking for this. keep up the good work
Yet another great tutorial!
A plugin that I use for Nessus 4 is called nessconnect . It show graphs and charts similar to but not as elegant as Saint for creating reports.
Nessconnect is a GUI, CLI and API client for Nessus and Nessus compatible servers. With an improved user interface, it provides local session management, scan templates, report generation through XSLT, charts and graphs, and vulnerability trending.
Hi, i have a Problem with a connection to the nessus Server in the GTK mode.
I make a new Connection
name: [xxxxxx]
Server: localhost
Port : 1496
--> is that ok??

If you are using the parseInt() method in Javascript, you may receive some unexpected results. This is especially true if you are using any kind of prefixes in the value.
For example:
parseInt("09") would return "0"
and parseInt("045") would return "55"
Use parseFloat() to get expected results for numbers that are prefixed with "0". Use parseInt("09", 10), where 10 specifies the base, that is, decimal.
Additional Information
The "0" prefix causes the unexpected results from parseInt(). Numbers with a "0" prefix are taken as octal (base 8 ) numbers as opposed to decimal numbers. As a result, the octal 55 is equal to a decimal 45.
parseInt syntax: parseInt('string' [, base])
How it works:
The first argument of parseInt must be a string or a string expression. The result returned by parseInt is an integer whose representation was contained in that string (or the integer found in the beginning of the string). The second argument (base), if present, specifies the base (radix) of the number whose string representation is contained in the string. The base argument can be any integer from 2 to 36.
If there is only one argument, the number base is detected according to the general JavaScript syntax for numbers. Strings that begin with 0x or -0x are parsed as hexadecimals; strings that begin with 0 or -0 are parsed as octal numbers. All other strings are parsed as decimal numbers.
If the string argument cannot be parsed as an integer, the results will be different in different interpreters (either 0 or NaN).
Examples (comments in each line give the conversion results):
parseInt('123.45') // 123 parseInt('77') // 77 parseInt('077',10) // 77 parseInt('77',8) // 63 (= 7 + 7*8) parseInt('077') // 63 (= 7 + 7*8) parseInt('77',16) // 119 (= 7 + 7*16) parseInt('0x77') // 119 (= 7 + 7*16) parseInt('099') // 0 (9 is not an octal digit) parseInt('99',8) // 0 or NaN, depending on the platform parseInt('0.1e6') // 0 parseInt('ZZ',36) // 1295 (= 35 + 35*36)

This product was provided for review purposes only. Any and all opinions expressed are honest and my own.
Raise your hand if you hate dandruff. If you can't tell, I'm raising my hand. Yes, dandruff sucks and so does an itchy scalp. Unfortunately, this is something I've had to deal with in the past and still worry about today. I'm actually at the point where I use a dandruff shampoo and conditioner twice a week to help keep it away. It's just a part of my hair routine.
In the past few years, I've used one brand consistently and even tried another. I haven't really ventured outside of those brands. Then I was sent Aveeno's Nourish+ Dandruff Control Shampoo and conditioner to try out. I think they found themselves a new customer. My scalp is in love.
Aveeno Nourish+ Dandruff Control Shampoo and Conditioner not only fights dandruff, but it also works on making your hair and scalp healthy. Because of it's exclusive formula that combines an anti-dandruff ingredient with their ACTIVE NATURALS® Oat Complex, you get a great head of hair.
I always like to be upfront about my hair type. So you know, I rarely use hair styling tools and I've only dyed it once in the past six years. I guess you can say I have normal hair.
Before using this product, if I skipped a day of shampooing my scalp would get itchy. Since, I've been using this shampoo and conditioner, I can go every other day without washing it and I don't need to worry about that itchy scalp. And always a sucker for scent and suds, this has both. A nice clean fresh scent and the shampoo creates a nice lather. Two of my favorite things. Yeah, I think this is going to replace my old dandruff shampoo.

"The Soap Boxx" - Final Entry
It's a couple days after our team's heart-breaking loss to Germany and I'm finding it difficult to write this journal. Writing this is going to make me re-live that day and how do I put into words the feelings that I felt when that final whistle blew? How do I explain my feelings the next day when we should be training for the final game, but instead we are given the day off to mend? Like anything that breaks your heart, you feel fine when you aren't thinking about it, but the
minute it creeps back into your mind your heart breaks all over again.
Sometimes soccer is a funny game. You can play well, you can have lots of chances, you
can even hold the other team to one shot on goal in the first half, and you can still lose. I'm sad, I'm upset, I'm disappointed and I feel responsible for not playing the best I know I can play. My comfort comes in knowing how much my teammates put into that game. We all left our hearts on that field.
We prepared like we had throughout the tournament. We were focused and ready to kick some butt. We continued our tradition of taking pictures and listening to music in the locker room before the game and as Julie said while warming up, "We are ready!" I knew coming into this game it was going to be a tight match. The Germans love to possess the ball, as we
do. They are physical and good in the air, like we are. It was going to be a good game.
The final score was 3-0 for Germany, but it was much closer than that. Germany scored off a corner kick in the 15th minute. It was their only shot on goal that half. In the second half our team dominated and kept pounding on the door. Not once did I think we were out of the
game. I just knew we were going to get one. By the 89th minute we had everyone flying forward trying to put one in the back of the net, but in extra time, Germany got two goals and beat the
United States.
The next day we were on our own. I decided to spend the day with my family and spend a little money. Nike's main facility is located in Beaverton, Oregon where there is also an employee store (lets just say it's more like a warehouse) with great discounts. Nike had invited our team and family members to shop at their employee store while we were in town for the game and when my family and I got there we noticed some of my teammates and coaching staff had the same idea. After shopping for two hours and getting most of my Christmas shopping done two months early I started to feel a little better.
Life has gone on after that day and we are preparing for our game against Canada on Saturday in Carson, California. We trained one more time in Portland, had a major autograph signing party in our hotel where we were able to get our own memorabilia signed by our teammates, and got
back on our chartered plane and headed down to California. This World Cup didn't turn out the exact way I would have wanted it, but if I take a step back and look at what I have just been a part of, a smile begins to form and I realize it wasn't so bad writing this last journal because it has also made me relive all the extraordinary moments.
I have been a part of something big and something important and not many players can say that. I played with and against the best women soccer players in the world. My game has improved to new heights and I have made some amazing new friends. I have also had the opportunity to share the ups and downs this team has been through with you and I thank you for being a part
our journey.
I know we will finish this World Cup with as much passion and heart we had coming into this tournament. If nothing else, I have learned how much heart and dedication my teammates have for each other and to their country. Thanks for reading the "Soap Boxx" and of course, thanks very much to all the fans who supported the team through this World Cup!
I will see on Saturday!

Australian miner Lynas has sought to downplay fears about radioactive residue from its rare earths plant in Malaysia.
Lynas shares entered their fourth trading halt in five weeks on Tuesday after Malaysian government ministers ordered it to export waste from its local rare earths plant.
Lynas began processing rare earths, which are used in hi-tech equipment ranging from missiles to mobile phones, at the plant in eastern Pahang state in November after a delay of more than a year due to opposition over health fears.
Four Malaysian cabinet ministers on Monday said in a joint statement that a temporary licence granted to Lynas required it to remove "all the residue" from the plant out of Malaysia.
"The obligation imposed on Lynas in this matter is very clear," the ministers said.
"The government will not compromise the health and safety of the people and the environment in dealing with the issue of Lynas."
If Lynas fails to comply, the government can suspend or revoke the licence and order it "to immediately cease operation", the ministers warned.
Lynas responded by saying that under the terms of its temporary operating license for the plant it was obliged to undertake research on the commercialisation, recycling and re-use of residue materials from the plant.
It is also required to draw up plans for a permanent disposal facility before mid 2013.
"Lynas will ensure that all residue material that is the source of concern to the Malaysian public will be converted into co-products, and exported from Malaysia if the co-products are not approved for use in Malaysia and an acceptable location for the permanent disposal facility is not approved," Lynas said in a statement.
"The co-products must be in a form acceptable for international markets and in accordance with all Malaysian regulations and international conventions."
Lynas was given the go-ahead by a Malaysian court in November to begin operating the plant.
However environmentalists have lodged an application to have work at the plant stopped, with a hearing date set for December 19 in the Malaysian Court of Appeal.
The appeal is against the Kuantan High Court's earlier refusal to grant a stay against Lynas' temporary operating licence.
Lynas says there is currently no injunction or stay preventing the company from carrying out its operations at its Malaysian plant.
The Lynas Advanced Materials Plant is set to become one of few sites outside China to process rare earths. The metals, imported from Australia, are used in high-tech equipment.
Residents, activists and opposition leaders have staged numerous protests against the plant, saying it would release radioactive gases and solid waste such as radium and lead, and small amounts of uranium, into the environment.
Lynas has insisted that any radioactive waste would be low-level and not harmful and that it will safely dispose of it.
