Scrum is all about visibility. But what do you do when important team tasks fall off the radar? We found a novel approach that worked for us.

I recently asked myself whether our Scrum education system is functioning well. Do we simply tell our trainees what to do in a given situation and then make them look for help the moment the situation changes?

We can find many examples of information radiators in our Agile environments: Scrum/Kanban boards, burn-down charts, burn-up charts, product backlogs . . . The list goes on and on. There are a few, though, that go unused yet can prove useful.

Stories help us understand and remember things. This is a story about a problem we have faced often, especially as a non-Scrum or a non-self-organized Scrum team.

Clients can gain a lot from implementing Agile for a fixed-price RFP. But what about vendors or service providers? They can lose money if they continue to accept changes. Thus it's important to have a method for handling fixed-price RFPs.

Did you know?
The Royal Cape Golf Club in the Western Cape, founded in 1885, is South Africa's oldest.
Even if you feel you unable to afford to play at South Africa's top golf establishments such as Sun City, Fancourt and Zimbali, there are numerous more affordable courses to try out around the country. You don't have to be a member to play at most country clubs and you'll likely find the green fees at these establishments very reasonable by general international standards.
Most establishments offer the option of only paying for nine holes if you don't wish to pay for 18. If you don't want to bring your clubs to South Africa, you will be able to hire a set at most courses. Multiple driving ranges are available in all of South Africa's major cities and mini-golf establishments in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban are easily accessible and very cheap.
While Gauteng is generally considered expensive by South African standards, you can still play nine holes of golf for about R120. The Linksfield Golf Club, near OR Tambo International Airport, offers this sort of rate and has three different courses to choose from. Visitors are always welcome here. If you are staying in Pretoria, you'll get good value by visiting Akasia Country Club.
The Metropolitan Golf Club, situated next to the Cape Town Stadium, offers 18 holes in a combination of urban and natural surroundings, at very reasonable rates. You can also hire clubs here. If you're travelling along the Garden Route, Plettenberg Bay Country Club is one of the more affordable courses.
If you can't afford the Durban Country Club, then consider the Kloof Country Club for a much cheaper round. Bosch Hoek Country Club, a 90-minute drive from Durban, is a nine-hole course with very forgiving fairways so you're likely to save money on balls as well as green fees if you're a hacker.

Best time to visit
Some establishments offer specials or cheaper rates during the week
What will it cost
Driving ranges generally charge around R20 for a bucket of 50 balls. A game of mini-golf generally costs around R20 for nine holes. A round of nine holes at a standard country club starts from around R120.
What to pack
You may find it cheaper to rent clubs in South Africa than to take your own set with you.

Otley's Yew Tree Inn is about to receive a revamp costing many thousands of pounds.
Punch Taverns and landlord Barry Tomlinson are carrying out the work to revitalise the Newall Carr Road pub for the years ahead and allow it to cater for a greater number of customers.
The refurbishment will begin on February 10 and is expected to take a fortnight to complete. The changes will include:
- Laying carpets, creating a fireplace and adding fronts to the bars
- A refit of the toilets
- Creating more space by removing some seating and using flexible-size tables.
Barry said: "This was a mutual decision by Punch and ourselves.
"We had a good year in 2013 and Punch helped us the year before when the recession kicked in.
"So looking ahead to 2014 we thought, 'where should we go from here?' and we both had a few ideas, so decided to go for a refurbishment."
Barry is hoping he can get his oldest regular customer to officially reopen the pub following the work.
A 17th-century building that was originally a farm, the Yew Tree was converted into a pub in about 1970.

Feds, states settle for $25 million in Amgen case
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 9:25 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 9:25 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Biotechnology and drug firm Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) has agreed to pay $24.9 million to resolve claims it illegally promoted its anemia drug to nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the settlement on Wednesday. Amgen had been accused of paying kickbacks and defrauding federal and state Medicaid programs.
All 50 states were part of the settlement. Florida will receive more than $207,000.
A spokeswoman for Thousand Oaks, Calif.-based Amgen said the company denies all of the allegations that were resolved by the settlement.
Bondi said institutional pharmacies Omnicare and PharMerica asked Amgen for extra rebates on the drug Aranesp.
The pharmacies had to agree to promote Aranesp in nursing homes they served. That meant inducing medical professionals to switch patients from other drugs to Aranesp.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/2/2013 (1654 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I gave my key to my former girlfriend and, because I had a few extra lying around, I gave the same key to my new girlfriend and didn't change the lock. This was fine until my ex-girlfriend found out I had stolen a wee bit of her money when we broke up -- just a couple of hundred bucks and her liquor. Hey, she was the one cheating! She decided to let herself back in and cleared out my entire music collection -- 50-60 tapes. You don't have to tell me it's time to change the locks. I did that today. What I want to know now is if I should charge her for breaking and entering and stealing my music, or could she charge me back for the incident with the money? -- PO'd Ex, St. Vital
Dear PO'd: You've been a thief and a dummy, and now you're considering going to the police to whine about a counter move by the victim? Look, you didn't steal quarters for the dryer from your recent ex-girlfriend. You swiped a substantial amount of money and liquor that probably added up to $300. And you left HER with the correct key to get back in and get even. She has now stolen music that you can rebuy at garage sales for $1 apiece this spring. Why would you go to the police over a gain of hundreds of dollars when you stole from the victim first? Stay away from cops and courts, and hope your ex-girlfriend enjoys the music as much as you enjoyed taking her cash and liquor. Lock those new locks, stay home and give your head a shake.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: For the last few years the man I care about has been in a "home" because his son put him there. I just miss my friend so much! We wanted to be together but once you're a senior in a home, you don't have any rights. Sex is not allowed between residents -- out of the question. Why is that? If it's between two willing people with their faculties, why not? He did have a stroke and his son was right there with the papers for his dad to sign over power of attorney, taking away everything -- his business and his home. His ex-wife is behind the son and works for him. His son will be old one day, too -- what goes around comes around. Pity his dad and I won't be around to see it. -- Heartbroken, Manitoba
Dear Heartbroken: Sometimes people come a long way back from strokes. It's too bad the son got in there so soon with the paperwork. Can you at least go and visit your friend, or have you been disallowed from doing that? Maybe there is a middle ground. People need visitors; family members who are unloving and greedy don't come often to visit once they have what they want. Write back with a few more details about the visiting rules. If he's getting better and better, maybe there's a solution to be found even if it doesn't include sex -- lunches out, that kind of date-like thing. Are you going by what the son has said to you? He won't want you in the picture. See your lawyer to find out what legal rights exist for your friend and for you.
Questions or comments? Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or send letters c/o Miss Lonelyhearts, 1350 Mountain Ave. Winnipeg R2X 3B6

Second Look? Third? Whatever, Here's Lindsay Lohan as Liz Taylor as Cleopatra
An on-set photo from Lifetime's Liz and Dick has surfaced which depicts Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor's most famous role, Cleopatra. Yea or nay?
-Lucia Peters
When last we checked in with darling LiLo, she was busy at work on the set of Lifetime's Liz and Dick, looking something like this. Shortly thereafter, we offered her some advice on what she might do in order to full transform into the fabled Elizabeth Taylor. Did she end up following Meryl Streep and Marion Cotillard's lead? Let's find out!
As seen above, this is what Lindsay will look like as Liz as Cleopatra. The title role of the 1963 film Cleopatra was one of Dame Liz's best-known roles—as much for her performance as for a) her paycheck, and b) her love life. In 1960, Elizabeth landed a $1 million dollar contract for the film, a figure which made her the highest-paid actress of her time. She also met her future husband, Richard Burton, while working on the picture (he played Mark Antony); and since Lifetime's biopic centers around Elizabeth and Richard's relationship, we can be fairly certain that the section of the movie encompassing Cleopatra will be quite important.
Read 11 Actresses Who Transformed Into Iconic People (Eat Your Heart Out, LiLo!)
For comparison purposes, here's Liz:
What do you think? As I would imagine is the case with most of us, I'm still not sold that Lindsay is ultimately going to be able to pull it off. I'll be interested to see how the film as a whole is received when it finally airs on November 3 of this year; will she be lambasted? And if so, will it be a fair or unfair judgment? Or will she surprise us all and knock it out of the park? She's got a lot riding on this one—her entire career, really—so it's definitely a make-it-or-break-it project.
According to People, the shot of Lindsay seen here was snapped on Monday, which also appears to have been her last day on set. Her wrapping filming also coincided with her 26th birthday, so happy belated B-Day, LiLo!
Tell us: Are you planning on watching Liz and Dick when it airs?

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages advanced Wednesday, helped by upbeat earnings from high-profile companies and a debt-ceiling deal. Apple ( AAPL) shares jumped 1.8% to $514 ahead of the company's fourth-quarter earnings report. After the stock market closed, the tech giant said profit was $13.81 a share, beating analysts' estimates of $13.53 a share, while revenue was $54.5 billion, trailing estimates of $54.9 billion. The shares subsequently tumbled, trading as low as $485. United Technologies ( UTX) edged up 0.7% after the industrial giant's earnings Wednesday. Google ( GOOG) shares jumped 5.5% and IBM ( IBM) shares popped 4.4% after their fourth-quarter reports Tuesday evening. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 67 points, or 0.5%, to 13,779. The blue-chip index climbed for the ninth session out of 10, a streak last seen in February 2011. Breadth was negative, with losers outnumbering winners 17 to 12. Coca-Cola ( KO) finished unchanged. Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ), Merck ( MRK), Cisco ( CSCO) and Caterpillar ( CAT) shares were declining the most. McDonald's ( MCD) shares were up 0.6% after the company posted fourth-quarter earnings of $1.38 a share on revenue of $6.95 billion, topping the Wall Street consensus estimate of $1.33 a share on revenue of $6.89 billion as the company focused on offering affordable menu options. For the near-term, the restaurant chain expects revenue and profit growth to remain pressured, with January's global comparable sales expected to be negative. The top percentage blue-chip winners were IBM, Microsoft ( MSFT) and Walt Disney ( DIS). IBM topped Wall Street's fourth-quarter earnings estimates, boosted by strength in its software business. United Technologies posted fourth-quarter earnings Wednesday of $1.04 a share on revenue of $16.4 billion, versus the average analyst expectation of earnings of $1.03 a share on revenue of $16.63 billion. The company reaffirmed its 2013 earnings per share outlook of $5.85 to $6.15 a share, saying that it was seeing improvements in order trends. Microsoft shares rose 1.7%. Reports said Tuesday that Microsoft could invest as much as $3 billion in an eventual takeover of struggling PC maker Dell ( DELL). Dell shares were down 0.3% after jumping Tuesday on the reports. The S&P 500 added 2 points, or 0.2%, to 1,495. The Nasdaq was higher by 10 points, or 0.3%, to 3,154. In the broad market, sectors were mixed, led lower by consumer cyclicals, utilities and basic materials. The technology, services and consumer non-cyclicals climbed.

What Hurricane? Rhone Rangers Ride to NYC Nov 7th – Details, Relief Efforts, Promo Code & Ticket Contest #RRNY
The good citizens of New York are enduring much these days, and my heart goes out to them. Does that make it inappropriate to hold a wine event, or talk about wine?
Watching my Facebook, Twitter streams of friends, I don't think so. Every snow or hurricane party I can think, of beverages have played a key part, and for those without power, it seems the local watering hole is more important than ever.
Indeed, James Molesworth of Wine Spectator tweeted this afternoon:
"Pulling many corks tonite. Doorbell ringing w/ trick or treaters – normalcy. Friends/refugees coming for electricity/dinner – responsibility"
Now thats
the spirit!
Come Rain, Shine, or Challenging Transport, Let There Be Rhone!
In thus spirit, 30 Rhone Ranger wineries, many quite small, and indeed still wrapping up harvest (self included) are headed across the country in hopes of sharing our passion with a city whose citizens surely could use a cup of cheer. We hope to lighten your worries a bit next Wednesday November 7th.
If there is one thing a vintner, just finishing harvest appreciates, its hardship, and easing those pains, over a glass and a 'cheers.' Let's share Hurricane Sandy stories with harvest stories, and as humans have done for centuries, bond over stories & beverages.
City Winery is back online, and while public transit will remain a challenge for some time, things are expected to be improved greatly by next Wednesday.
Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund Raising – Drink Wine & cialis price Help!
The Rhone Rangers are working in real time to also turn this event into a relief effort fundraiser. Final details are being hammered out as you read this but donations based on attendance are being finalized and the possibility of other means, such as silent auctions, winery donations are being hammered out as we speak.
Thus your support, also helps us give more to this relief fund raising effort. Drinking wine supports our fund raising – not too shabby a way to be charitable!
Save 40% Off The Walk Around Tasting Tickets – An Insane Deal
To help stimulate sales, City Winery is allowing us to share promotion code 'RHONE7 ' to purchase tickets for $38, instead of $65.
That's over 100 wines to sample, from 30 wineries, for $38.
PLUS City Winery's executive chef Andres Barrera will prepare light appetizers to accompany the wines.
PLUS: Grand Prize Drawing: All ticket holders may enter a drawing for a two-night stay in Paso Robles, CA at world-class Hotel Cheval, combined with visits to local wineries for tours and tastings.
Lets see, New York City, SOHO, 100 wines, food samples, and a 2 night hotel drawing, for $38 a person. I spent twice that for brunch my last visit to SOHO.
Purchase tickets here: http://www.citywinery.com/newyork/the-rhone-rangers-are-coming-grand-tasting-11-7.html
Ticket Contest – Enter To Win A Pair of Tickets

Damiani Wine Cellars, because I am hearing good things about good Syrah from the Finger Lakes – and Damiani has a great name.
I'll have to go with Bonny Doon, since I didn't have the opportunity to visit the last time I was in the area visiting friends and don't get to the West Coast as much as I'd like. I'm fortunate enough to have visited a handful of the other wineries attending and can't wait to see what everyone brings along for us to taste – perfect evening out after a week of no power, I say!

DEL MAR — A huge red tent used for Valitar, the now defunct equine-human acrobatics show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, is set to be sold at an auction Jan. 29.
The show's producers closed the show on Nov. 21 after just a handful of performances, citing slow ticket sales. The tent has been sitting on the fairgrounds' main parking lot ever since.
Fairground officials say they have absorbed maintenance and security costs for the tent. Moreover, the fairgrounds has lost revenue because it has been unable to book events on the site, officials have said.
The fairgrounds is one of dozens of vendors, performers and employees, who say they were left unpaid after the show's producer, Mark Remley and his production company Equustria Development Inc., filed for bankruptcy protection in December. A meeting with the creditors scheduled for Wednesday at the Office of the U.S. Trustee in San Diego was postponed until February.
The tent is said to be worth millions. The auction includes the main show tent and four other smaller tents: a stable tent, concession tent, a VIP tent and a performer's tent.
The auction is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. at the fairgrounds, said Linda Zweig, a spokeswoman for the fairgrounds.

Design Director Wendy Sees Redby FN Dish Editor in View All Posts, December 16th, 2008
Food Network Design Director, Wendy Waxman, got her latest assignment — create a vibrant tablescape for a Food Network charity event featuring Chef Duff…oh, and make it kid-friendly. Wendy immediately saw red — in a good way.
As the table came together, Wendy shared some great tips…
1) Bold, vibrant colors will stay true to you – going bold works well all year long, whether the holidays or the 4th of July.
2) Pick a plate that's ready to take the stage. For this, Wendy fell for a rich collection from SoHo-based Global Table.
3) Let your creativity bloom. Wendy chose amaryllis and orchids from Ovando to complete her vision. A top-notch florist should always supply fresh product (and ideas, if you want them).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/11/2013 (1389 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I'm nursing a fairly serious and painful scrape after a trip-and-fall accident left me knee-first on the dusty ground of my condo's parking garage.
I could blame the moderately high wedge-heeled boots I wore the evening of the mishap, but the reality is, since childhood, I have always been a bit prone to falling. (I need to improve my balance.)
So I admit, it's not my first time with such an injury.
Several years ago, I spent three weeks caring for two nasty facial wounds thanks to another trip-and-fall accident that landed me face-first on a sidewalk. Carrying several grocery bags at the time, my hands weren't free to break my fall, so I kissed the pavement instead.
What surprised me then was the conflicting advice I received about how to care for my scrapes. The opposing advice came from emergency room staff and from various walk-in clinics.
At one clinic, a doctor told his nurse to re-bandage my wounds after he had examined me. That nurse advised me not to cover them and to let the fresh air dry them out.
I quickly found out the advice from the nurse was bad.
My latest wound is healing well with the help my general practitioner provided, combined with my own diligence. (Wounds require attentive care so they don't lead to serious consequences such as infections.)
Other nuggets of advice I've received in the past involved one stranger asking me with an air of authority whether my wound was itchy. It was.
"That's a sign it's healing," he said.
Not true. My itchiness was actually an allergic reaction to the bandage and the topical antibiotic ointment I was using, as I later found out from a dermatologist who was instrumental in helping my facial wounds heal without infection or scars.
Do you know how to handle knee scrapes and other such wounds? Or are you setting yourself up for scarring and infection?
Here are some common wound-care myths busted:
MYTH 1: Use peroxide or rubbing alcohol to clean your wound
WHILE it is important to clean your wound as soon as possible in order to prevent infection, using peroxide or alcohol is a bad idea, say most medical experts. Such chemicals can be effective in minimizing germs, but can actually harm skin cells and impair the healing process.
Instead, clean your wound right away under running tap water or under a running shower. Use a mild liquid soap if you have it. You can also use a pressurized bottle of sterile saline -- available at most pharmacies -- to clean your wound if you don't have access to a shower or clean tap water.
If your flesh is embedded with debris, as mine was, see a doctor immediately. You may be given a tetanus shot (I was). This helps prevent the bacteria found in dirt and soil from making you sick. It's essential to get the dirt and debris out of a scrape -- as one emergency room doctor once told me -- so it won't leave behind a permanent "tattoo" on your skin. Your doctor or nurse may freeze the area before cleaning it, if you are in extreme pain.
MYTH 2: Keep the wound dry
IT may go against common household lore, but clinical studies prove keeping your wound clean, moist and covered helps it heal faster. Many doctors and pharmacists recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to moisten the wound. (Use only a thin layer applied with sterile gauze or freshly washed hands). If you are allergic to the ointment, get a prescription antibiotic ointment. (These are less allergenic than over-the-counter formulations). When your wound has closed up a bit and topical antibiotics are no longer necessary, some experts say using clean petroleum jelly on the wound (preferably from a tube) can keep your wound comfortable.
Leaving my latest wound uncovered would have been especially risky, since it was vulnerable to infection. My doctor gave me a 10-day supply of adhesive gauze and told me to clean and change my dressing three times daily. Applying prescription antibiotic ointment prevented the wound from sticking to the bandage (which could have re-injured the area).
MYTH 3: A scab is a sign of healing
THE goal in caring for a wound is to prevent scab formation, say modern doctors. That's because a scab -- or hardened fluid and debris encrusting your wound -- will interfere with the healing process and could eventually lead to scarring. A broken scab can also lead to infection. To avoid scabbing, keep your wound moist with an appropriate cream or ointment. To get rid of the scab that had formed during my facial injury several years ago, my dermatologist recommended placing wet gauze or a cloth compress on the wound for five minutes every few hours. He told me not to tug or rub the skin, since doing so could harm the healing tissue and cause scarring. I didn't have to go through this process with my current injury since I prevented a scab from forming -- starting from Day 1.
MYTH 4: Itchiness is a sign of healing
NOT so. Itchiness can mean you are allergic to the bandage, bandage adhesive or antibiotic ointment. It can also mean you have an infection. Stay in tune with what's going on your body and see a doctor if you think your wound is in trouble.
MYTH 5: Put the bandage on and forget about it
THE purpose of wearing a bandage is to keep the wound clean and to absorb the fluid that oozes from it. Leaving a bandage on for too long can lead to infection and prevents you from monitoring your injury properly.
My wound oozed a lot of light yellow fluid that soaked through the bandage, so my doctor told me to clean my wound and change my dressing three times a day. This was a bit inconvenient, but well worth the effort.
Be on the lookout for signs of infection, such as bad odours emanating from the wound, red streaks and fluid that's yellow or green. Such symptoms require immediate care from a doctor. Extreme pain is not unusual with a wound in the first several days, but if the pain gets worse or spreads, contact your doctor.
Mine asked me to email him daily descriptions of my wound during the first critical days of the injury. I sent him photos of my wound as well.

A GROUP of East Lancashire teenagers were shocked to hear their first holiday away from home was being viewed in detail by their parents.
BBC Three's new series of Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents airs tonight featuring four Accrington youngsters celebrating their first taste of freedom.
The trip to Magaluf saw the TV crew convince the group they would get a free holiday in return for some fun footage of young people on holiday.
What the group didn't know was that their parents had come along too — and were watching every detail of their children's holidays.
Accrington and Rossendale College students Liam Gaskin, 19, and Jemma Chadwick, 20, decided to plan the holiday to celebrate the end of their Tourism and Leisure studies this summer.
Together with friends Elle Outerside, 18 and Kandis Barrat, 19, they headed to the Majorcan resort.
Liam, who attended Mount Carmel High School with lifelong friends Jemma and Elle, said: "We knew there were going to be cameras around but it was a complete shock to us to see our parents had been watching everything.
"I won't ruin the surprise but it was very, very embarrassing. Basically we all just wanted to run away.
"We did have a great holiday, though, and it was just a learning experience."
Previous series of Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents have taken place in some of the world's liveliest resorts.
It was the top unscripted show of 2012 and was also the most requested show on BBC's iPlayer catch-up service.
The format sees people in their late teens and early twenties go on their first holiday abroad to various locations under the belief that they are getting away from their parents. However, their parents are also sent to the holiday destination and secretly watch footage of their children on video screens, and also often spy in their hotel rooms and at nightclub locations.
The parents then reveal themselves on the last night of the holiday to the dismay of the young holidaymakers.
The Magaluf episode is on tonight at 9pm on BBC Three.

About the Book
Moments to Cherish: A Book about Motherhood is the second book in CWiP's Student Books Series. The book was edited and designed by Katie Bosch, Alicia Schwartz, Maria Sebastiano, and Danielle White, students at Rowan University (Glassboro, NJ), majoring in Writing Arts. The book was completed as part of a class project in collaboration with CWiP. 100% of proceeds ($5.00 per book) from sales of this book will be donated to the March of Dimes. It makes the perfect Mother's Day Gift!
From the Introduction
The March of Dimes is a non-profit organization that works together for stronger, healthier babies across the country and Puerto Rico. They also support mothers-to-be to have full term babies and research the problems that threaten the health of babies. The March of Dimes is there to offer guidance for the mother before, during and after birth of her baby. They promote research that aims to prevent birth defects, prematurity and infant mortality.
This organization brings awareness to mothers during their journey through motherhood. They hold multiple events throughout the year sponsoring the promotion of healthy babies. Some of these events include World Prematurity Day, Bikers for Babies and 5K for Healthy Babies.
The goal for our book is to appreciate the journey of motherhood. We reveal the journey through images and text contributed by a variety of sources. We have come together to create a book to benefit the non-profit organization, March of Dimes. It was our honor to have the privilege to support this life changing charity.We hope our book about Motherhood touches your heart and helps raise awareness for the cause to have stronger and healthier babies.

Those who remember Allah, standing, sitting and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: 'Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory be to You! So safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire. (Surah Al 'Imran, 191)
Allah is very considerate of people -2-
A person who takes a simple glance around him can see countless manifestations of Allah's flawless artistry in creation and His might of creation. For instance, every time a person looks in the mirror, he generally sees a symmetrical and beautiful appearance but he also notices his weaknesses and inadequacies.
Human beings make a constant effort to eliminate the defects and weaknesses in their bodies and to attain a cleaner and healthier appearance. Indeed, many factories engage in a lengthy process of research and production in order to provide products which will become instrumental in meeting the various needs of human beings.
An important point deserves mention here; being aware that Allah is the Creator and Possessor of everything. Believers know that it is Allah Who creates these products and each phase of their production.
As a requisite of His trial, Allah creates human beigns with many weaknesses. He also shows how these weaknesses can be eliminated and how, by His Will, He can create flawlessly .
A believer who thinks about the details, both in physical appearance and chemical content of these products,can better grasp Allah's artistry in creation. A person who does not look with the eye of faith may be unable to conceive these details. However, being aware that every thing is perceived in Allah's Sight as a "moment" and every thing is created by Allah, a believer knows that a product is in fact created even before he is born. He further knows that it has been preordained in which market and on which shelf that product will be offered for sale. Being aware of how Allah is concerned with human beings, a believer continuosly gives thanks to Allah.
How do the seeds sleeping for hundreds of years sprout?
There are some rarely known attributes of plants; some plant species are quite resistant against very harsh conditions. In times of harsh conditions, these plants decrease their metabolic functions, in other words get into a kind of sleeping phase and become more resistant. Meanwhile, when conditions permit, even after hundreds of years sleep, they awake by Allah's leave and start to sprout.
Every plant has features peculiar to climatic conditions of its habitat. For instance the features of plants in arid regions are absent in other species. For this reason one cannot expect a desert plant to survive in polar or tropical conditions or a tropical plant to live under polar or desert conditions, for all the structures of tropical plants – the size of their leaves, the resistance of their seeds etc.- are compatible with its habitat conditions. The features of plants in poles, on the other hand, comply with the polar conditions.
Why do the seeds lapse into sleeping phase?
The first phase of sleep in seeds is the drying phase during which the seed loses the water in its texture and lapses into sleep. Living plant seeds hold 90-95 percent of water while water makes up only 5-15 % of the sleeping seed's texture. This process takes place under a genetic control. The major element in the occurrence of this process is "abscisic acid", a hormone that slows down the functions within the seed. By means of this hormone the cells of a sleeping seed breathe very slowly; it neither feeds nor grows. (Francoise Brenckmann, Grains de Vie, p.68)
There are seeds that remain in sleeping phase for decades and even for hundreds of years and then awake. This state of sleep is vitally important for the survival of the next generations of these plants. Because plants always remain in the same location, the existence of such a mechanism in harsh conditions is essential. (Advanced Plant Physiology, Malcolm B. Wilkins, p.462) There is no doubt that plants and their seeds are created flawlessly with the features they possess today. This fact is related in the Qur'an thus:
Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay heed? If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat an-Nahl, 17-18)
Technologies in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (a.s) faretold by our Prophet (a.s)
Hazrat Ali describes how muslims will come under intense pressure in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), but that Hazrat Mahdi's (as) community will never be afraid
It is related from Hazrat Ali that someone once asked him about Hazrat Mahdi (as). Hazrat Ali replied, "He (Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in the End Times. He will come at a time when people are condemned to death for saying 'Allah'." He then went on to say, "ALLAH WILL BRING TOGETHER AROUND HIM A COMMUNITY WHO FEAR NOTHING AND WHO REJOICE OVER NO GAIN." (Siddiq Hasan Khan, al-Izan, p.128)
The fluid that turns into acid during digestion
The invalidity of the claim that ''moral understanding exists from birth, you cannot ignore an actively existing concept''
Some Darwinists maintain that moral understanding is a pre-existing concept in living things, that they possess it from birth, and that there is therefore no need for belief in Allah in order to be ethical (surely Allah is beyond that). As proof of this, they cite examples of self-sacrifice in various living things. But the fact is they are gravely deceived.
At the same time, however, man is created with selfish desires as part of that nature. As revealed in the Qur'an, "I do not say my self was free from blame. The self indeed commands to evil acts – except for those my Lord has mercy on. My Lord, He is Forgiving, Merciful." (Surah Yusuf 53)
You who believe! If you have fear of Allah, He will give you discrimination and erase your bad actions from you and forgive you. Allah's favor is indeed immense. (Surat al-Anfal, 29)
The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) loves beauty. Allah grants the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) a glorious beauty.
Age: 38 to 23 million years old
Size: 6.6 centimeters (2.6 in) including petiole
Location: Beaverhead County, Montana
Formation: Muddy Creek Formation
Period: Oligocene
The 38-23-million-year-old fossil grape leaf also verifies that plants also did not evolve, but were created. There exists no difference between Vitis grape leaves that existed millions of years ago and those of today.
Are you ever really alone?
Even when you think you are sitting at home alone, you are still in the company of a great number of living things. Bacteria live on you and in your body, and constantly protect you and also, occasionally, cause you to become ill. Mites that are spread everywhere, from the chair you sit in to your carpet, to the air you breathe. Moulds and fungi begin reproducing on foods left out in the open in your kitchen for even a few hours—all of these constitute a different world with its own unique lifestyles, nutritional systems and structural features.
Maybe you have always thought that humans, animals and plants you see around you represent the sole community of living things. Yet the microorganisms, members of a secret world that reach to every corner of the Earth, are far more numerous that those other, more familiar living things. These minute creatures outnumber the animals in the world by twenty to one. 1 In the same way that they are present all over the world, they are also essential to human life.

Costco Wholesale received site plan approval and a sign waiver Tuesday night from the East Baton Rouge city-parish Planning Commission after company officials answered questions about proposed changes to Dawnadele Avenue.
The commission voted 7-0 for the plan, which involves realigning Dawnadele so it's closer to the proposed 144,807-square-foot warehouse and gas station in the former Coca-Cola bottling facility southwest of Interstate 12 near Airline Highway.
The property has one-acre, three-acre and six-acre outparcels that will be approved and developed later, said Ted Johnson, development director for the Issaquah, Wash.-based food club warehouse chain.
Johnson said that while the 28-acre property is still under contract, Costco is hoping to open the store on a 15-acre plat there by the summer of 2014, pending the final sale and further design and engineering approvals from the city-parish and the state.
Johnson said Dawnadele, which runs alongside Airline, is currently not well-suited for retail use. He said plans call for new turn lanes for northbound and southbound traffic, allowing delivery trucks to get in and out of the site.
The sign waiver allows Costco to put four signs on its building that are properly scaled to the building's three-acre footprint and height of more than 30 feet.
Commissioners W.T. Winfield and James Gilmore were not present at the meeting.
Other items discussed during the meeting included:
MALLARD TRAILS: The commission deferred for 60 days its consideration of Mallard Trails, 90 single-family residential lots on 57 acres zoned rural on the south side of Hoo Shoo Too Road, east of Wood Duck Drive.
Residents complained about heavy traffic on Hoo Shoo Too and that nearby homes already have water that backs up to their homes.
Hoo Shoo Too resident Fred Mathews said acres of land behind his house flood during rainstorms.
Commissioner John Price took issue with the fact that the board basically had to take developer George W. Robinson at his word that the development would not affect drainage because no drainage impact study has been conducted.
Attorney Pepper Allgood, who spoke out against the project, said only the Planning Commission — not the city-parish Department of Public Works — has the right to waive a drainage impact study. He also said Mallard Trails cannot use cluster development to increase the overall density of the project from one home per acre, just concentrate homes in specific clusters.
At the request of Commissioner Steven Perret, Robinson said he would conduct a drainage impact study that goes beyond what is required to help put commissioners' minds at ease, though engineer Wayne Sledge of GWS Engineering said it will ultimately show there will be no impact.
PLANS APPROVED: Myrtle Bluff subdivision was approved over the objections of nearby residents about the traffic along Madeira Drive and Samoa Avenue because the 10-acre, 39-lot subdivision connects through three different streets.
Also approved were Lexington Estates, the Cottages at Southfork and LaFleur Oaks.
Three other planned unit developments were approved. LaFleur Oaks got concept plan approval, while The Cottages at Southfork and Lexington Estates got the final development plan approval.

DETROIT - One month before I turned two years old, my mother stood me up on a chair behind the pulpit at church. She sat at the piano and played "Jesus Loves Me" while I sang. It was my first solo and the first of many times that my mother accompanied me singing a song.
She pushed me to perform and I thrived in front of an audience, singing, dancing, playing the piano, the clarinet, the oboe, acting in plays and competing in sports. She was the first person to take me out on our driveway (which was made of rock and hard to dribble on) and play HORSE on our rusty basketball hoop that she nailed to the garage. She was at every sporting event, every performance and every recital growing up. She was and still is my biggest cheerleader.
My mother is the epitome of strength, dignity, class and humility. She has overcome the hardest challenges and trials in her life, all while raising me as a single-mother. She constantly encouraged me to get my education because "no one can ever take your degree away."
Without my mother, I wouldn't be where I am today. She is my best friend and I am so thankful that God created me for her and her for me. So on this Mother's Day, I say thank you to the one that raised me, the one that mothered me, the one that guided me, and the one that loves me, in spite of all my flaws and shortcomings. My mother will always be there for me and for that, I'm eternally grateful.

I've just recently come across Nivo Sliderhttp://nivo.dev7studios.com/
It appears to provide a nice packaging on the whole javascript slider situation.
I'd like to hear from others about slideshows that are more effective or easier to get going than this one.
I wouldn't include jQuery Cycle though due to the amount of development required to achieve half of the features commonly expected from a slideshow.
Hi!Does anyone have any experience placing two Nivo Sliders on a single page? I have followed various notes via their Forum but things are not working as expected. I understand I need to create #slider1 and #slider2 but the .css has me a bit confused. Do I need to create full sets of CSS for each #slider AND also place two JS Styles in the header of my page. You can see what I am attempting here: http://smarterbydesignonline.com/home.htm (this is the jQuery/Nivo Slider version of the current Home page at http://smarterbydesignonline.com)
Any help, links, direction etc. will be greatly appreciated.
Hmmm. Almost sorted I should have put.
It all works great in Firefox, but I lose the drop shadow in IE8, it doesn't slide in IE7 and the screen is blank on IE6!
In the CSS I added display:none to stop the images flashing on start up, but the slider disappears in IE7 altogether.
Here is the site: my site
Hope someone can help.
Great slider!
I have it all working, but am not sure where and how I place the CSS to stop the images flashing on loading. It says in the instructions to manually apply it.
Could anyone give an idea or example?
No worries, all sorted now:)
good one but i think it load little slow plus i would loved it if we could get auto sliding of images
Ah! DT posted this on Facebook. It is really a very nice slider. I bookmarked it! Good find!
And the boundaries between what can be done by flash and by javascript are further blurred. That is very cool, especially the transition with the blocks.
Yeah and as I said there I really liked it! It is cool to use, and quite easy to integrate and customize... We are already planing to use for two projects we are on now
Looks cool. Has some great options in there.
Thanks for the link.
Javascript effects are really becoming pretty impressive lately. Man, that looks great.
The demo looks terrific in Opera 10.51. I've spent a lot of time trying out various jQuery sliders, and most of them have some serious caveats that prevent me from considering them. I'll give this one a whirl. Interestingly, the site doesn't claim that it works in IE6, but it works as well in that verdamnt browser as most other jQ sliders, even if it is a bit rocky.
Very cool - great find! I'm just rolling out a project where we have a large image slider on front and center on the home page. Time to see if I can get the client interested in some of these cool transitions!
I'm currently redeveloping big sections of my personal website. I'm after a photography category, and was planning on having a big CU3ER at the top, but this has totally converted me!
I can't believe how less than 5 years ago, plenty of (but certainly not all) web developers wouldn't touch Javascript at all, yet now, it's near essential for any project at all!
Weird... it doesn't seem to work for me in FF3.6.2. Works great in Chrome, but in FF all I see is a sliver of the first image and it never changes.
Working fine for me in FF3.6.2. Maybe an extension of yours is interfering?
Yeah, I saw this the other day and i'm very impressed.I'd be curious to use this on an upcoming project.
this script would be a great help in displaying images to your page. transition of images was so cool. . thanks for the link.
This is sick! on top of that it's extension to jQuery....pure awesomeness!

Oh Mighty Wing
speaking of running - how has that been going for you? how are your legs feeling?
you can only avoid me 4 so long!
try not to over do it too much this week. and biking and the gym aren't the worst. plus you fake an awesome attitude - use this year 2 get healthy and then take no prisoners next year! just keep listening to that!
Wait. We're not in the swamp. forget what I just said. Those rules don't apply here. I shouldn't have said fuck. Moderator will probably censor.
You know...there's always the Nashville mini-swamp.... you can say anything you want over there and not get censored. Um..so I hear...
Yes, and a great creation is the good ole Nashville Mini-Swamp. I hear that the owner doesnt like running skirts, though, so I've been scared to post.
Thanks for the clarification. I came back to RA and saw like sixteen different factions form due to something that happened in the swamp, which I don't understand and don't really care to understand.
Nonetheless, Jeff, the Nashville mini-swamp should be a healthy by-product. Just don't look down upon me due to my skirt.
It's kind of cool, but i'm kind of overwhelmed. What do I do with a swamp?
Well, as a booking agent for musicians, I deal with a lot of managers. The managers that I enjoy working with the most are the ones that I don't hear from every day.
Buy my wife's sea catchers
Okay I lied. I'm the true owner. Jeff created the Nashville mini swamp and then gave it to me. Kind of like God when he gave Adam a garden. I think he was trying to tell me something. Either way I get to make lists still except that I get to give these people on my lists powers and stuff.
It's kind of cool, but i'm kind of overwhelmed. What do I do with a swamp?
Shan, thank you for the kind words. I feel like swamp rules are broken by you doing so, but fuck it. It's supposed to be a drama free week anyway, right?
Wait. We're not in the swamp. forget what I just said. Those rules don't apply here. I shouldn't have said fuck. Moderator will probably censor.
If there are too things that I enjoy very much in life, they would be running and drinking. The only way to do it is to overdo it!
I look forward to tracking your progress enroute to the monkey!
either you really need a beer/strong drink... or a little something else...

The question of "what will they do the next?" has been answered: after collaborations with Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, and, most recently, Marni, H&M has unveiled what is perhaps its most counter-intuitive creative partner to date: the brand famed for its deconstructivist approach, Maison Martin Margiela. You could say it has mystique, but it's a mystique of the conceptual, and this is, by definition niche. H&M is by definition not niche, so it seems to me we are faced with something of an oxymoron here. Read more

I first dropped the Cover Assy, which covers lites and controls, this was done by pulling it forward and it drops down, did not remove top shelf so It was a bit difficult to tilt cover assy. for removal. There is a srew located close to filter assy. in back use nut driver 1/4"located to remove this screw, there are then 2 screws located to the rear and side of light holders, both phillips head, the one on the left side is a bit tricky to remove but I use a thin bladed scredriver, Next there are 2 screws located on both ends od the slides that control temp, both again removed witn1/4 " nut driver, the whole upper assy drops down and forward the Adeptive Defrost assy is located in the back right corner of this assy, unplug the wires and unit snaps out, I foud it easier to pop off top cover of new unit so I could see connector assy when I reattached the wires, then replaced the top assy and snapped new unit it place, Reassymbly was reverse of removal, before placing cover assy back in place I replaced both lamps as 1 was out .
took cover off, installed bulb.lost the owners manual,part select's schematics were very helpfulthanks
Took the rear bottom panel loose , the ice maker and water dipenser valve is in the right corner. Turn off water line to the refrigerator , and also unplug the electric from the outlet. It is easier to take the ground wire loose from the valve bracket now , before taking valve out of the bracket. take the two water lines that run to the door and the ice maker loose, then remove the main inlet line. Once you have the water lines off, then you can remove both electrical plugs from the electric coils. The water lines that run to the door and the ice maker cant be confused , because they are two different sizes , so they will only fit the correct side. The electrical plugs are pretty simple as well as, the wires are the same color as the coils, so its fairly easy to see which one goes where. The replacement process is pretty self-explanitary , just reverse the order. Just as a hint of advice , have a sponge or mop ready to clean up the water that comes out of the lines when you remove them. I also changed the drum wheel in the front of the ice bin, this process is not easy if you let the blades and spacers fall apart , as they have to pretty much have to be in correct order , or your ice bin will not crush ice , and you could possibly bust the bin into pieces. The process is not really hard , just pay close attention to what is coming off from where!!! There are two bolt on the bottom of the front cover , take them loose and pull the cover forward from the bottom, then lift a little , should come off. Then the metal front cover should be exposed, ther are two bolts in it as well , remove them , and the front should be loose , this is when you hold the auger and keep an eye on the blades. There is also a nut , right in the center of the wheel you have to take loose , hold the auger then take the nut loose with a 1/2 in. wrench. Once you remove the nut the drum pulls right off the auger. When going back together , make sure the ice crusher blades all line up correctly , as the blades wont work at all . They have to slide back into the blade pivot bracket (slot made into the plastic bucket front). As I said before , be sure and pay close attention , and this process will go easily. The drum is marked front side , or this side out, be sure its installed correctly , as the ice will not feed right. The first cycle of the ice maker making ice will probably be only 1 or 2 cubes , but the second time around you will have a full set of 8 , the water lines get air in them while they are unhooked so you wont get a full cycle the first time.
change light bulbs
I popped out the side panel to the right of the ice maker and removed the ice tray-then used a nutdrive to remove the screw under the ice maker. Lifted up on the unit , dropped it down and used a flat head screwdriver to press the tab in on the electrical connector at the rear-then removed the unit from the Freezer. The end cap that covers the controls on the old unit snapped off easily as did the small metal tab (both needed to be placed on the new one) and I re-installed the new ice maker doing the reverse of the removal. Watch to make sure that the white rubber water line goes back into place as you remount the ice maker in the Freezer. As for the thermostat, I loosened the temperature control cover in the top of the refrigerator by pulling down on it, needed to pull out a bit to clear the control levers-easier if they're centered on the 5. I removed the retaining screw in the center of the rear of the cover using a nutdriver, and that lowered the cover enough to remove the screws that held the thermostat assembly in the upper right (also using the same nutdriver that worked on everything else). I removed the electrical connector from the old thermostat and attached it to the new one. The old thermostat didn't have a cover on it like the new one, and it was easier to make sure that the electrical connector was attached by popping the cover apart-attaching the connector, and then snapping it back together. The new unit snapped into place by pressing down firmly, then I re-assembled the cover plate doing the reverse of the removal. If you don't count the two hours that I spent defrosting the freezer coils with a hair dryer-these were FAST repairs, and the refrigerator is running like new again
First I removed the top shelf and its contents to allow for more room. Then I removed the plastic temperature control housing by tugging housing forward and releasing it from the two clips located at the upper rear corners of the fridge. Then pull down. Then I removed the three screws holding the entire temperature control assembly and dropped it down to access and remove defrost assy. Installed new defrost assy. and re-assemble in reverse. Change light bulbs before replacing final housing. Also, a good time to clean housing interior before re-installing.
easy to replace. the 2 top light bulbs do not go on!l have to call technician.

A TELEPHONE scam targeting the elderly and vulnerable has struck the Wycombe area repeatedly since the start of 2014 – prompting a warning from police.
There have been 11 incidents of a 'courier fraud' scam in the district since November 16, with eight happening this month – and the most recent in Marlow on Wednesday.
Other areas hit by the scam are Stokenchurch, Holmer Green, Hazlemere, Hughenden Valley, and Princes Risborough.
Deputy Area Commander, Ch Insp Colin Seaton, said: "These offences have taken place across our area and we all need to do what we can to prevent any more from happening.
"I would like to ask everyone who has elderly or vulnerable family members, friends or neighbours to let them know about the scam.
"In all of these cases the victims received calls from fraudsters who told them their card details had been used fraudulently and to hang up and call their bank or the police immediately."
The scam sees the victim receive a phone call from fraudsters who claim they are from their bank or the police. They say they are calling because of 'suspicious activity' on their account and advise them to call the bank from the number on the back of their card - which can cause the victim think the call is genuine.
The victim disconnects the phone and dials their bank or police – but the fraudster has kept the telephone line open so even though a new number is dialed, no new connection is made.
This means the victim is still on the phone to the fraudster, who now poses as a member of the bank staff and asks them to either state or key in their pin, before telling them their card will be collected and a replacement delivered.
Once the fraudster has all the information they need, a courier is sent to collect the card from the victim and a replacement is delivered at the same time, which is not a genuine bank card.
Ch Insp Seaton, added: "We are also working closely with taxi companies in the area who might be used as a courier service to make sure we do all that we can to prevent any more incidents from happening."
He issued the following advice:
• Your bank and/or the police will never ask for your PIN.
• Your bank will never attend your home to deliver a replacement card or to collect cash .
• Your bank and/or the police will never collect your bank card.
If you have any information please contact the Thames Valley Police Enquiry Centre on 101 or call charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at ww.crimestoppers-uk.org

LongHorn Steakhouse Restaurant Review: Bunkhouse chic is perhaps the best way to describe the theme of this chain steakhouse, which favors faux Old West bric-à-brac and hearty helpings of grilled meats. Hungry patrons should go for the porterhouse --- a generously portioned 20-ounce USDA Choice cut, cooked over a flame the cowboy way. For those who don't want steak, there is also a large selection of seafood, chicken and salads from which to choose. If your stomach is still up for it after dinner, go for the Golden Nugget --- crispy fried cheesecake balls served over vanilla bean ice cream with strawberry sauce. Other locations.

BAYTOWN, Texas - There have been seven incidents of strangers trying to lure students at or near Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District bus stops, school district officials said.
According to a letter sent to parents, there have been three incidents reported near Cedar Bayou Junior High bus stops and one incident each near bus stops for Gentry Junior, Victoria Walker Elementary, Alamo Elementary and BP Hopper Primary schools.
All of the incidents have been reported to the Baytown Police Department or Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Erik Poteet, 10, said he was one of the students approached by a stranger.
"He told me, 'You want to get in the car?' I said no because I have a bus stop to be at," Erik said.
Erik's grandfather now walks him to the bus stop.
"We grew up in a time where we walked and didn't worry about anything," grandfather Jerry Shirley said. "Nowadays, it scares me. It really does scare me."
Investigators have not said if any of the incidents are connected.
"We don't want to alarm anyone, but we do want people to be aware and talk with their children about what they can do in situations like these," school district spokeswoman Kathy Clausen said.
School district officials gave parents safety tips to share with their children:
- Always be aware of your surroundings, especially when walking alone.
- Walk in groups of two or more.
- Never get into a vehicle with a stranger.
- If a stranger tries to get you into his or her vehicle, kick, bite, fight, shout and run to tell someone what happened.
- Do not walk alone in the dark.
