Surat Al-Hucurat, 10
"The believers are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and have fear of Allah so that hopefully you will gain mercy."
For example, how can we make peace with Syria? Only when we join with them. What about Pakistan? The problems will go away only when we join with them. Iraq? The same. So Muslims should unite and if there is a problem between them, that problem should be solved, they should be reconciled. Listen, "...make peace between" says Allah. If there is a problem, if they are cross, you should eliminate that problem, make peace between them and make them real brothers and sisters.
Surat Al-Anfal, 46
"Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel among yourselves lest you lose heart and your momentum disappear. And be steadfast. Allah is with the steadfast."
"Obey Allah and His Messenger…" How are we to obey? We will obey the Qur'an. And when we follow the Qur'an, we will see that Islamic Union is an obligation. "Do not quarrel among yourselves." Do not trouble each other, do not split into fractions, sects, communities. Do not badmouth each other, do not speak against each other, Allah says love each other. What happens if you don't follow this order? Our people break up. Allah says then you will lose your momentum. Allah says you will split, break up. "Your momentum disappear…" you will become submissive. That should not happen. Muslims should never lose their drive. Allah says, you will lose momentum. That is what will happen if you separate. But if you unite, and build Islamic Union, you will gain an amazing power by the grace of Allah. Almighty Lord says, "...be steadfast." Do not lose your will, use your will, intelligence, be patient, persistent, determined. "Allah is with the steadfast." If you are steadfast and committed to unity, I will make you succeed, says Allah. What does it mean that Allah is with the steadfast? This means Islamic Union is coming into being, and the global sovereignty of Islam is happening. That is the realization of the 55th verse of the Surah An-Nur.
Surat As-Saff, 4
"Allah loves those who fight in His Way in ranks like well-built walls."
So how should we be like? Like well-built walls, completely entwined. But the Muslim world is all divided now. Even the communities, the groups are divided within themselves. There are many different parties, groups, everyone is against each other. However, Allah says what? "Those who fight in His way," in the way of the Qur'an, not in any other way. Any way other than Allah's way will not be accepted. Allah doesn't accept that. Allah says, "… those who fight in His way," that is the condition; fighting in His way, in the Qur'an's way. "Like a well built wall," think about a building, made up of reinforced concrete. Almighty Lord says this is how the Islamic world is going to be like. Just like a building, a reinforced concrete building. "Allah loves those who fight in His Way in ranks like well-built walls," says Almighty Allah.
Surah Al-i Imran, 103
"Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate. Remember Allah's blessing to you when you were enemies and He joined your hearts together so that you became brothers by His blessing. You were on the very brink of a pit of the Fire and He rescued you from it. In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will be guided."
Masha'Allah. "Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together." What is it? The Qur'an. How do we hold fast? Very tightly. Without any compromise. "Do not separate," stay united. What is the situation of the Muslim world at the moment? They are all divided, broken up, separate. They say: Southeastern Anatolia wishes to break apart and so do we. Allah says do not separate. "Remember Allah's blessing to you," Muslims should always think about the blessings of Allah. "When you were enemies," Muslims are mostly fighting with each other, like the Shiites and the Sunnis fighting. They are like enemies fighting. Religious groups are against each other, like enemies. "He joined your hearts together so that you became brothers…" This is going to happen now. The hearts will join by the means of the way of Mahdi . Reconciliation, coming together on the basis of what we have in common. "Joined your hearts," so that the distances, the coldness will be done away with by the means of the way of Mahdi insha'Allah. "... so that you became brothers by His blessing." When the Islamic Union is built, we will see that we are all brothers and sisters. We will wake up in the morning and understand that the whole Islamic world is brothers and sisters. We will swear allegiance to Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the evening and wake up brothers in the morning because swearing allegiance will take place in the evening, according to the hadiths. What does it say in the verse, "you became brothers by His blessing" in the morning. When the Islamic Union is established, all the Muslim community will wake up as brothers and sisters, insha'Allah. "You were on the very brink of a pit of the Fire," in other words, when you were engulfed by anarchy, terrorism and wars and while you were going through all of that, Allah saved you from that. Allah saved you from the great Armageddon, the big wars, disasters, by the means of the way Mahdi. And just for the sake of Hazrat Mahdi (as), Allah spared you from the disasters, earthquakes that He would have sent. "... that hopefully you will be guided" What does it mean to be guided? Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the word "guidance" come from the same root. By the means of the Mahdi system, the Muslim community will be guided, insha'Allah. All of them. Hazrat Mahdi (as) means the guided one and the guiding one. "In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you". Allah explains it perfectly and we understand it very clearly, masha'Allah.
Surat Ash-Shura, 13
"He has laid down the same religion for you as He enjoined on Noah: that which We have revealed to you and which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus: 'Establish the religion and do not make divisions in it.' What you call the idolater to follow is very hard for them. Allah chooses for Himself anyone He wills and guides to Himself those who turn to Him."
Allah always draws attention to guidance, to the way of Mahdi. "Establish the religion." Abide by the Qur'an, keep the religion strong. The religion is down at the moment. In many places, religion is defeated. Allah says, "Keep it up". Do not let it come down. If it is down, bring it up. "Do not make divisions in it." Do not break into communities, sects, groups and try to trouble each other. Do not hate each other. "As He enjoined on Noah," Allah says, He gave the same order to Noah as well. "That which We have revealed to you," so Allah said the same thing to the Prophet Mohammed (saas). "And which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus", So Allah says He told them as well, Abraham, Moses and Jesus. The members of the three Abrahamic religions, and to Muslims as well. "He has laid down the same religion for you," He made the same a Sharia for you too. "What you call the idolater to follow is very hard for them." Islamic Union, the union of Muslims, being together, is very hard for the idolaters, the radicals. The radicals don't want that. Isn't that right? They don't like neither Hazrat Mahdi (as) nor Prophet Jesus (as), not the Islamic Union. It's hard on their arrogance, their holdings, their conceited nature. Many of them claim to be the best. "Allah chooses for Himself anyone He wills." Chooses who? He chooses Hazrat Mahdi (as)? Chooses who? He chooses Prophet Jesus (as). He chooses who? Hazrat Mahdi (as)'s and Prophet Jesus (as)'s students. "Guides to Himself those who turn to Him." If he is sincere, if he turns to Allah sincerely, then Allah will guide him. Allah will make Hazrat Mahdi (as), the Qur'an, the means for this and guide that person, insha'Allah.2013-02-19 21:35:25

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1921 — Liepaja, Latvia
Sally was an only son born to Jewish parents in the Baltic port of Liepaja. When Sally was a child, his family moved to Aizpute, a small town 25 miles northeast of Liepaja. There his parents, along with a partner, opened a dry-goods store. Sally attended a German-language private Jewish school in Aizpute.
1933-39: The Izikowitz's store was well-known in the city. People purchased fabric there to be made into clothes or furniture coverings. In 1939 Sally graduated secondary school. Germanyinvaded Poland in September of that year. Latvia, at the time, was still a free nation.
1940-41: In June 1940 the Soviet Union occupied Latvia. Shortly before Germany invaded the Soviet Union a year later on June 22, 1941, Sally's father, who was sympathetic to the communists, fled to the Soviet Union fearing the fate of communists under the Germans. Sally and his mother then returned to Liepaja. The Germans occupied Liepaja on June 29, and a few days later, Sally left his apartment with a friend to cross the street to a relative's house. He was stopped by a German patrol.
Sally was killed by the German patrol, who shot him down in the street.

Found at the comments of a blog post about REST and SOAP:
Hey y'all, youse using you a big bunch of words that the average fella don't understand. REST, SOAP, PUT, GET, POST, COUCH? WHAT?
The only time I use these words is when I come home from work, I do stuff like
Tell ma wife to GET me a beer, fall on the COUCH, PUT my legs on the table, check if I got any new POST, switch to channel RPC to see what game is on. And when it's time to sleep, go put on some SOAP, before I go to the bed and REST.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A former doctor faces as many as four years in prison at sentencing Wednesday for her role in a southern Ohio pill mill.
Federal prosecutors alleged that Brenda Banks allowed the clinic's co-owner to use her prescription-writing certificate to order more than 200,000 painkillers, mainly hydrocodone.
Judge Sandra Beckwith planned to sentence Banks in federal court in Cincinnati, with prosecutors pushing for four years and Banks' attorney requesting probation.
Banks was named in a 2010 indictment that alleged Ohio Medical and Pain Management employees filled dozens of cash-only prescriptions a day.
Beckwith sentenced the clinic's two former owners to prison terms of 12 years and 17 years earlier this week.
Banks pleaded guilty in April to one count of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or misrepresentation.

Summer Interns Wrap Up
Text Size
At the final Summer Intern Speakers Insight Series event on July 31st in New York, Lloyd Blankfein, Chairman and Chief Executive of Goldman Sachs, thanked the summer interns for their contributions to the firm and offered advice as they look to begin their careers.
Edith Cooper, global head of Human Capital Management, who led the conversation with Lloyd, recognized the intern class as the next generation of leaders and commended them for the energy, enthusiasm and renewed focus they have brought to the firm.
"You all have a unique and valuable perspective and the strength of our firm lies in recognizing and leveraging those perspectives," Edith said.
"It is great to hear about personal experiences and gain insight from such prominent members of the firm," one of the interns remarked. "The ability to ask questions to senior leaders is invaluable and highlights how special this internship program is."

How Running Helped Me Face a Decades-Old Eating Disorder
August 16, 2017,
Creeping eruption is a human infection with dog or cat hookworm larvae (immature worm).
Cutaneous larvae migrans; Zoonotic hookworm; Ancylostoma caninum ; Ancylostoma braziliensis ; Bunostomum phlebotomum ; Uncinaria stenocephala
Hookworm eggs are found in the stool of infected dogs and cats. When the eggs hatch, the larvae infest any contaminated soil and vegetation.
When you come into contact with this infested soil, the larvae can burrow into your skin. They cause an intense inflammatory response that leads to a rash and severe itching.
Creeping eruption is more common in countries with warm climates. In the United States, the southeast has the highest rates of infection. The main risk factor for this disease is contact with damp, sandy soil that has been contaminated with infected cat or dog feces. More children than adults are infected.
Your health care provider can often diagnose this condition by looking at your skin. In rare cases, a skin biopsy is done to rule out other conditions. In very rare cases, a blood test is done to see if you have increased eosinophils.
Anti-parasitic drugs such as thiabendazole, albendazole, or ivermectin may be used to treat the infection.
Creeping eruption often goes away by itself over weeks to months. Treatment helps the infection go away more quickly and is successful.
Make an appointment with your health care provider if you or your child have skin sores that are snakelike, itchy, or moving from one area to another.
Public sanitation and deworming of dogs and cats have decreased hookworm infestation in the United States.
Hookworm larvae often enter the body through bare feet, so wearing shoes in areas where hookworm infestations are known to occur helps prevent infection.

HAZEL PARK, Mich. - A robbery suspect was caught eating breakfast at a McDonald's in Hazel Park after allegedly stealing $725 from a Kroger in the same city.
David Hult, 43, of St. Clair Shores, allegedly went to the Kroger on John R. Road Sunday morning and asked a cashier at the U-Scan for change. When she opened the register, police believe Hult pushed her out of the way and took $725 before taking off.
Officers later found some of the man's clothing near the grocery store.
Police tracked down and arrested Hult who was eating at McDonald's just a few hundred feet away.
He was arraigned Monday in Hazel Park district court on a charge of unarmed robbery. He's jailed on a $75,000 cash bond.
If convicted, Hult could face up to 15 years in prison. He'll be back in court next month.

I get to test quite a few beauty products on this blog. And out of all of them…and I mean all of them, mascara is probably my favorite thing to review. I love watching and finding out if it will transform my lashes. Today I tried out the new L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions mascara.
Self-proclaimed as "a new generation of lash length." It claims that "in one motion lashes are separated, intensified, and look shockingly lengthened for an intense make-up result."
It's available in colors Black, Blackest Black, Black Brown, Waterproof Black, and Waterproof Blackest Black. The brush is L'Oreal's exclusive 200 bristle brush shape was designed to simulate the eyelid to capture and precisely define every lash.
Below you'll see what three separate applications on uncurled lashes in Black Brown looks like on me. I applied as directed by placing the brush to the base of my lashes and sweeping up. As you can see, the L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions mascara added length to my lashes. I've had it on for a couple of hours now and it hasn't flaked or smudged on me. There is very little clumping, nothing too serious.
At only $9.95, if you're looking to add length to your pretty lashes this could be the right one for you. I'd definitely recommend it.

There's so much going on in Talk week to week that we almost can't keep up. If you're in the same boat, here's a small selection of topics and responses that have piqued our interest this week.

The Nasty Bits: Pork Cheeks

Foodisphere Erupts Over Paula Deen Diabetes Announcement
"I just want to know how Paula Deen is going to have time for this... Doesn't she already have a lot on her plate?
Is she going to tell us that this drug makes diabetes a "piece of cake" or "easy as pie?"
She is the perfect woman to read the side effects since she sugar-coats everything.
In summary, unhealthy food was Paula Deen's bread and butter, getting paid for diabetes is just icing on the cake! " —strum40
Serious Entertaining: The Bachelor Watching Party
"The exceptional cheesiness of this show demands a formidable cheese plate. Some mild fresh mozzarella (perhaps to represent Ben's blandness?), a sharp cheddar (at least as sharp as the girls' clavicles), a bowl of salty feta (flavored with the tears of the rejected... so many tears) and a funky smelly roquefort (in the spirit of the fact that this show stinks, but in an awesome way.)" —cheftastic
The Best Way to Eat Popeye's Fried Chicken
"So a party favorite are my Chicken & Wafflettes.
I usually buy an 8 pc all-spicy mixed bunch from Popeye's. I also get a large mashed potatoes (with the gravy on the side). By the time I get back to the house, the chicken has steamed enough in the box making it easy to pull it off the bone. Separate the meat from the skin and reserve the skin for later. The meat gets coarsely chopped and thrown into a stand mixer with the masher and gravy to form a loose chicken-studded mashed topping.
The topping gets piped/spooned/glopped on top of an unbaked eggo mini, and then finally a piece of the skin gets applied on top. These suckers go in the oven to cook the waffle and crisp the skin. When all's said and done, it gets topped with a homemade maple butter (which is just melted butter mixed with maple syrup), and strewn on top.
Yes. It is a billion calories. Yes there's beaucoups cholesterol. Yes, I regret nothing." —Julian

Assertiveness involves standing up for one's rights or expressing one's feelings, opinions, and preferences in a way that is honest, direct and appropriate. It involves respecting your own rights as well as the rights of others. Many types of situations require assertiveness, including: making a request; granting or refusing a request; and giving or accepting a compliment.
The Counseling Center helps people improve their communication and assertiveness skills. We help identify roadblocks to assertiveness and the benefits of assertive behavior and teach strategies to help people become more assertive in their interactions with others.
The University of Victoria in Canada website contains information for people who have difficulty being assertive. It includes a chart "Assertiveness Continuum of Behavior" which compares and contrasts the typical actions or responses of a Non-Assertive, Assertive or Aggressive person.
The Behavior Continuum table below comes from the Naval Aviation Schools Command in Pensacola, Florida:
|Overly courteous"Beats around the bush"Avoids Conflicts"Along for the ride."
|Active InvolvementReadiness to take actionProvide useful informationMakes suggestions
|DominationIntimidationAbusive / Hostile
In their article "The Language of Assertiveness", the University at Buffalo gives a concise list of phrases to use in beginning assertive statements you may need in conflict situations.

Oh Noes! Spanish Tennis Champ Rafael Nadal Is Withdrawing from the Olympics!
Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal has had to withdraw from the Olympics due to knee troubles. Sad face.
-Lucia Peters
Bad news for all you Rafael Nadal fans out there in Bettyland: The Spanish tennis star announced yesterday that he's withdrawing from the 2012 Olympics. Curses!
Like many tennis players, Nadal has been battling knee problems for years; though he won his seventh French Open title back in June, he was defeated by Lukas Rosol during the second round at Wimbledon last month and hasn't competed since then. The cause? Tendinitis in his knee—which unfortunately is so bad at the moment that he decided that he was no longer able to compete in this summer's Olympic Games.
"I am not in a condition to compete in the London Olympics and therefore will not travel as planned with the Spanish delegation to take part in the games," Nadal said in a statement released yesterday. He continued, "I have to think about my companions, I can't be selfish and I have to think of what's best for Spanish sport… and give fellow sportsmen with better preparation the chance to compete. I tried to hurry my preparations and training to the very last minute, but it was not to be." He called the day he withdrew "one of the saddest days of my career." Awww.

To be fair, I'm more of a Roger Federer girl myself (we all have our favorites), but there's no denying that Nadal is a top-notch player. Currently ranked number three in the world, he won the men's singles gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2008—no doubt he was hoping for a repeat performance. Plus, he was set to carry the Spanish flag in this year's Opening Ceremony. Sad face. But it's also good of him to recognize that he needed to withdraw in the first place, so good on him for that. He's still young—only 26 (is anyone else constantly astounded by how young tennis players are when they reach their peaks?)—so there's still time for good things in the future.
Only one more week to go before the Games begin!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/10/2012 (1761 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Halloween will soon be here. In North America, it's a time for children to dress up and go trick-or-treating.
For the ancient Celts, it was a special time when the boundary between the worlds of the living and the worlds of the dead were blurred, and people on both sides could communicate with each other.
Known as Samhain, for the Celts that night was a "thin place" -- a time when spirits, both harmful and harmless, returned to the Earth. One way to prevent the dangerous ones from harming you was by wearing costumes and masks.
The idea of a thin place isn't unique to the Celts. It's a phrase used to describe both times, such as Halloween, and places where people feel especially connected to God or the life of the spirit.
Tom Cashman, who leads workshops on Celtic spirituality, told the Vancouver Sun in 2010 that thin places are those times or places "that cause the hair to stand up on the back of your neck" -- times when you feel you've made contact with the other side of reality.
I haven't had any of those kinds of experiences. But sometimes when I am in old buildings, like in the Exchange District, and I am very still and quiet, I imagine I can hear the people who used to live or work in those places. For the briefest of moments, it's as if I am taken back in time -- and then it's gone.
Someone who feels this way much more keenly than I do is Alan Green, senior rabbi at Shaarey Zedek synagogue in Winnipeg.
Green's interest in thin places stems from his first visit to Israel, in 1974, when he visited the graves of some of the great rabbis from ancient times.
"Even then, I was able to recognize them as sacred spaces," he says. For the first time in his life he "prayed that I should be able to have a clear experience of the presence of God." Several hours later, it happened -- an odd sensation of being outside himself and nearer to God than ever before.
"I learned a great deal from this experience about where one can find God, about how God can operate through us, when given the chance, and how long-deceased spiritual teachers and holy places can intervene to help guide us back to the source of life," he says.
He can only think that "the rabbis whose gravesites I visited that day graced me with an insight at which I could never have arrived on my own."
Since that time, Green has always had his antennae up for the thin places in the world.
"They are everywhere," he says of the places where the "barriers to spiritual experience are a little more permeable, and the spirit of God, and truth, a little more available than in ordinary, profane space."
One of the best thin places in the world for Green is Jerusalem.
"In Jerusalem, one has a strong sense that they indeed are in a place where heaven and earth kiss," he says. "Everything one experiences in Jerusalem is extremely vivid and somehow miraculous."
He sometimes calls Jerusalem "the land of times 10" because "everything one does there, from the extraordinary to the mundane, is 10 times as intense as it would have been back home."
It's no wonder, he says, "that the rabbis conceived of Jerusalem as the place from which the universe began. It really seems to be one of those thin places, a city upon which God always has His attention, a place of extraordinary power and inspiration."
But you don't have to go to Israel to get that experience, he says. Closer to home, he has found several thin places. There's the area directly beneath the dome of the Legislative Building, and the chapel dedicated to the Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky at St. Joseph's Ukrainian Catholic Church in West Kildonan.
He also experiences it at the grave of Rabbi Avraham Twersky at Shaarey Zedek Memorial Park at Armstrong and Main. Twersky, who died in the 1940s, was known for his special ability to bless others; his grave is still a place of pilgrimage today for Hasidim from across North America.
But one of Green's favourite thin places is Bannock Point in the Whiteshell. That's where aboriginal people from long ago created petroforms of turtles, snakes and humans; for them, and for many others, it's a sacred place, where people can feel closer to the Spirit.
"Walking in that place, one feels a powerful, grounded connection to the Earth," says Green.
Maybe you have your own thin places; perhaps Manitoba is filled with them. After all, the province's name derives from the Cree word that means "the place of God" or "the place where God sits." So if you're wandering in downtown Winnipeg, biking through Birds Hill Park, walking along Grand Beach or driving past a wheat field along Highway 75 and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, you'll know why.

It's National Pie Day, so put aside the endless Team Pie vs. Team Cake debate and focus on what really matters — finding yourself a slice o' pie.
We're celebrating this food holiday with an American classic : Apple Pie. But it's not just apple pie — it's Salted Caramel Apple Pie.
This recipe is courtesy Emily and Melissa Elsen who run Four and Twenty Blackbirds in Brooklyn. The duo opened their pie shop as an homage to their grandmother who used to bake pies professionally in their hometown in South Dakota. The girls have given her recipes a modern-day makeover, but the basic appeal of the pies remains the same — flaky crust, warm filling and hopefully a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Pure comfort.
And of course, a great pie starts with a flaky crust. Here's a brief tutorial on getting perfect pie crust every time:
Battle: Pie!
We couldn't resist a challenge. So when our sister site, Food Network UK, reached out to us and asked us to battle it out over pie, we said of course! We think our Salted Caramel Apple Pie is the tops. They're bringing their best Banoffee Pie to the table.
We want to know: Which side of the pie battle are you on? Salted Caramel Apple Pie or the Brits' Banoffee Pie?

The Washington Nationals are in talks regarding the location of their spring training. Because they are not renewing their lease in Viera, it looks like the team might be moving to Kissimmee in 2016.
The reason the Nationals are looking to move elsewhere for spring training is rooted in their desire for a new facility.
"We are not in a position in Brevard county to burn the taxpayers with another 20, 30 million dollars to upgrade our city when we're closing schools and trying to repair roads," said Andy Anderson, Brevard County Commissioner.
In a meeting on Monday, Osceola County officials discussed spring training plans, but details could not be revealed due to a confidentiality agreement.
As of now, Osceola County officials have not yet come to a decision as to whether they are willing to shell out the money for a new facility.
"My perception is we're getting ready to be asked to spend 20, 30, 40 million dollars," said Frank Attkisson, Osceola County Commissioner.
Osceola County residents are questioning whether the money spent will be beneficial to the economic development of the county.
"I don't believe they should appropriate money for a new stadium without county residents having a say one way or another," said Larisa Roderick, Osceola County resident.
On May 30, Osceola County commissioners will hold a workshop to discuss spring training plans, and whether or not they will build or renovate a facility for the Washington Nationals. This meeting will be open to the public.

Great Sandals! 05-17-2017
This is the second pair of this design that I've purchased for my fiancé. The loves them, they've become her go-to foot wear!
My Favorite Sandal! 04-26-2017
This is my favorite style thus far - this one being my 6th pair maybe. Love the surprising comfort and quality - they last a long time! Love these and even bought my husband a pair to get him hooked as well. :)
Good Shoe 04-22-2017
Very comfortable and matches with almost every outfit
Love These Sandals 03-27-2017
I have had 5 pairs of these sandals.... either because my dog got a hold of them or I just wore them out. They are must haves!!! They go with everything and they are very comfortable. They fit true to size.
These Are Perfect! 03-27-2017
I was a little worried that these wouldn't fit properly. I've tried strappy sandals before but my pinky toe always gets smushed. Not with these! They were perfect, super comfy and looked so cute! I love that they're casual enough to wear with jeans and a nice top but you could totally dress them up as well. I got compliments on them and my husband said they were really nice! I'll probably end up purchasing them in other colors!
Love Love Love These 03-23-2017
I bought these sandals at the beginning of Spring and I wear them almost every day. They are so cute and go with any outfit. They are so comfy and I love the style.
Cute And Comfy 03-19-2017

Delays to journeys of up to 60 minutes can be expected with many trains cancelled.
And flooding is causing problems for passengers travelling through East Croydon station.
The flooding is in the Balcombe tunnel and is having a knock on effect for people going into central London.

Lenovo: New ThinkPad X1 Carbon, Yoga, IdeaPad, and Flex Laptopsby Jarred Walton on 1/10/2014 6:51 PM EST
16 Comments
Back to Article
gobaers - Friday, January 10, 2014 - linkThese look like nice consumer laptops, can can we get them to manufacture a laptop for hardcore Thinkpad enthusiasts? Consider a Thinkpad T-Series Classic:
13-14" 4:3-ratio IPS display
Old layout 7-row keyboard, TrackPoint with buttons intact
Narrow bezels on screen, laptop bezels next to keyboard similarly narrow
Rollcage to protect display and internals
Latest gen processor, SSD
Optical bay is not necessary, I think we're past its utility now
You could price this at old ThinkPad prices, I'd snap one up in a jiffy. Reply
iniudan - Friday, January 10, 2014 - linkThe hope of 4:3 is null, but would gladly accept a 16:10 or a 3:2. But yes, give back the 7 row keyboard that we had up to the T/W-(4/5)20 series, or at least the layout of it, for the chicklet key of the newer Thinkpad are at least decent compared to most of the competition, so I don't mind. Reply
gobaers - Friday, January 10, 2014 - linkAgreed, it doesn't necessarily have to be the old scissors keyboard. The layout is the important thing, through.
The main thing I want is a good IPS panel at a more square resolution. Everytime I look at the panel on my T420s, I want to throw it out the window. Washed out and terrible, it's embarrassing they shipped these units out the door. That I can barely get a few excel columns in view is an extra insult. Reply
ImSpartacus - Friday, January 10, 2014 - linkI don't get the aspect ratio worries. If you want more vertical space, then wait for 1800p 14" displays.
The T40-class T series is an excellent laptop, but it's advantages aren't quite as pronounced against today's competition as they are against ~2010's competition.
I admit that I used to have the same desires as you, but the competition has steadily improved enough that I don't lust for a classic thinkpad anymore. Reply
w_km - Saturday, January 11, 2014 - linkProblem with 1800p is the nativ e 1600x900 resolution you'll be running it at...no more vertical space than a 2007/2008 14" T61 which had 1440x900 (16:10).
A slimmed down T/W/X_20 series with upgraded screens, chassis (CF please), backlit 7 row keyboard would be a winner for me. Reply
BMNify - Friday, January 10, 2014 - linkStill pentile on the Yoga 2 Pro or did they fix that? Reply
psuedonymous - Saturday, January 11, 2014 - linkThe Yoga 2 Pro shown at CESW is the same Yoga 2 Pro that went on sale last October. So yes, it;s still the same nasty Pentile panel (though they at least somewhat mitigated the horrific yellow colour rendering performance that it had at launch with a driver update a few weeks after launch). Reply
tiquio - Friday, January 10, 2014 - linkMany of these laptops aren't new. I don't know why Lenovo is showcasing them now at CES. I've had the Flex 14 since early October. All in all, it's a good laptop with a poor screen. I have an i7 with 256 gb SSD. The battery life is great and it's removeable (a rarity these days). It's not like I have a second battery but it's nice to know that I can buy another down the line and replace my old one without opening the laptop. When I show people the flex, they love it but they all wonder if it folds back all the way. To be honest, even if it did fold back all the way, I don't think I'd use it as a tablet. In fact 90% of the time I don't even use the touchscreen. I use it intermittently when scrolling articles (At times, it's more comfortable to sit with your hand stretched all the way forward cusping the screen and scrolling with your thumb).
As for the yoga 2 pro, that came out the day Windows 8.1 came out. I saw it at Best Buy recently and it looks to have a much better build quality than flex (the flex is mostly plastic, except around the keyboard and palmrest). The yoga is also much lighter but despite the same battery size it has a lower battery life probably due to the high res screen.
As for the thinkpad X1 carbon, I think that's actually a brand new one that's coming out soon or is already out. My friend has last year's model of the thinkpad x1 carbon and it is indeed very nice. It's super light and super thin but I like the touch and feel of the yoga 2 pro more (metal feels better than carbon fiber). But I think I'd take lightness over feel. Having a lighter laptop makes a huge difference if you're carrying it around all day (as I do).
Well, that's my rant on Lenovo. The only reason I know so much about their ultrabook products is because I was in the market for one in October. Reply
tiquio - Friday, January 10, 2014 - linkP.S. Just to throw in battery life times. On a light workload (internet, office, low brightness), I can get around 10 hours battery life. On a heavier load (downloading over wifi, watching movies), it's around 6-7 hours. The battery life is so good, I have the battery option perpetually set to "battery saver" mode which only charges it to 60%. Supposedly that'll increase the lifespan of the battery. Reply
pixelstuff - Saturday, January 11, 2014 - linkWishing they had included an Ethernet jack on the laptop. I still need to interface with too many non-wifi devices to go without one. Reply
pmeinl - Saturday, January 11, 2014 - linkThe new X1 does have an Ethernet jack (with adapter cable). Reply
madwolfa - Saturday, January 11, 2014 - linkAnd there goes another Macbook Air wannabe. Not what it was before. :( Reply
nagi603 - Saturday, January 11, 2014 - linkUgh, that keyboard redesign in itself disqualifies this laptop for me... Insert as seldomly used? Double-tapping shift? relocated home/end? A true recepie for disaster for anyone using Total Commander or anything like that. Reply
madwolfa - Saturday, January 11, 2014 - linkTrue.. basically for any professionals/admins out there the change is for the worse.. I'm using Insert a lot. Also the F-keys...WHY?? Reply
MrSpadge - Saturday, January 11, 2014 - linkNo Haswell update for the Thinkpad Helix? This thing looked like a really fine revice, with it'S only real flaw being the price tag. Guess they didn't sell enough of them. Reply
firstname.lastname@example.com - Saturday, May 24, 2014 - link've been a lenov buyer for a long time. Bought 3 Think Pad Edge 525 for my 2 kids (about 2 years ago) and one for my wife a bit over a year ago. 15.6 in screens, usb3, bluetooth, everything including GIGABIT ethernet. Now you can only get 100 mbps 1980's ethernet on Lenovos'. I looed already up to a 1300$ high end I7 gaming laptop, still has 100mbps Ethernet. I have 10 US patents in fault tolerant computer design. I know what it costs and takes to go from 100 mbps to1 000 gbps, like possibly 2-3$ cost for lenovo if that much. No other brand is missing gigabit Ethernet on a 5000$ laptop. Why they are jammingsuch high resolutionon 11-13 inch screens is beyond me, you cant tell the difference at that size. Flip twist and other wise is a marketing gimmick little peoople use ( as referenced above), if you want that buy surface top. What kills me is some marketing genius at lenvo though thought maybe the 80-100mbps band width you might get over wireless N when very close to the source is some how good enough for high band width demands. Add a few users try to stream and you cant even watch low res you tube videos. Why lenovo just didn't complete the cycle and go back to USB1 is beyond me. A serious , serious blunder on their part and I'm looking for a new brand now. Dear Lenov, we are all not little tweens, twitting out 10 word sentences. We need bandwidth,, currently not available on anything nt costing a fortune loaded with features nobody wants and flips that will mechanically break in less than a year. The worst corporate decision since Coke decided to change its original formula. Lenovo Never Again. Reply

A few days ago I received an issue tracking survey email from Chuck DeFeo at the Republican National Committee that began with the sentence:
At the RNC, we're always working on ways to grow and strengthen our party.
Well Chuck, I looked at your survey and found it pointless and repetitive, so let me share with you a few ideas.
First, it's about the Country, not the Party. Want people to like the Republican party? Make the Republican party about the United States. Friend of my friend, and all that.
Next, we've seen what "principled conservatives" like John Boehner and his ilk have done, and frankly I'm over that term, especially when it's coming from the elephants mouth.
You had a grassroots movement thrust into your lap. A vibrant and effective movement that was looking for partners, not controllers, and the GOP went and mucked that up to the point there's an effective third part that is only nominally Republican, and getting more and more fed up with even that tenuous connection.
The reason? The GOP is not about about Constitutionally limited government. It's not about conservatism. It's not about freedom or liberty. Oh, it pays great lip service to them, but they aren't really guiding principles. It seems they're being used more to placate and control a voting bloc which are then manipulated to your own preferred ends.
Think this means I'm jumping ship to the (D) side? Not a chance. Everything bad about the Republican party is magnified 10 times worse for Democrats. That's the party of the nakedly powerful manipulating and controlling and enslaving the weakest to increase their own power. Republicans are the party of those desirous of power or content in mediocre levels of power trying to control the middle class to keep them in power. Also, the Republican party at least pays lip service to freedom and liberty, while the Democrats stopped doing that years ago.
What it does mean is that I'm not enthused, not excited, not interested, and not particularly hopeful of our chances. With bumbling idiots like you and your pals in the driver's seat, who needs Democrats.
You don't get technology. You don't understand branding and the marketing of ideas. You can't conceive of any idea that began outside the paneled rooms of the upper echelons of party power. Democrats won the last TWO Presidential elections because they were able to manipulate those at the bottom into supporting yet another upper cruster by thinking it was their own ideas embodied in Mr Obama. I like Romney and think he would have made a fine executive, but once again, since he had friends like y'all, he had no need of enemies.
The only purpose to engaging minority communities is to welcome them into the melting pot. We love their food, most aspects of their cultures, their character, their skills, their passion for liberty that far exceeds our own. We don't need them to remain outside, separate, different.
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
~Emma Lazarus
The United States was and is a nation of immigrants. Sure there are some who want the border locked down tight, and they have good arguments, but they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Yes, there are some who want to benefit from the very cheap labor these new and frightened people are willing to give up for the appearance of success. The first rule of immigration has to be: It has to be easy and safe and fast. This means removing bureaucratic bloat and testing and retesting each aspect of the process for efficiency and efficacy. There should be no reason for people to come here illegally because we should welcome any and all legally and openly. The penalties for illegal immigration should be just and fast. These people are not our citizens and are not owed any Constitutional privileges. Make the process just, make it fair, and make it safe, but make it about the rule of law. When the door is wide open, punishing those who still refuse to use it regains it's moral legitimacy.
The GOP can be the party of a strong defense (offense has become offensive, good or bad) by being vocally and effectively protective of any and all US citizens endangered overseas.
The Constitution doesn't need to be protected, it needs to be applied. Applied with judicial and legislative force. Applied brutally. The government has become brutal in its overreach and it hurts everyone it touches. It must be beaten back with equal force and vigor.
You can't reform entitlement spending because the very idea that people are entitled to something is bunk, false, and results in theft. You can only end it. Cut it, by significant margins. By real margins instead of the fake margins we've been lead along with for the last two decades.
You've let yourself get bogged down in squabbling and in-fighting while we out in the trenches, in the real world, who have to live according to the dictates of your political operatives and political failures, face the brunt of each and every assault on our freedoms, our pocket books, our lives and families and property. And it's not like the Democrats haven't given you golden opportunity after golden opportunity. They're the party of the gaffe, the flub, the out-of-touch snobbish elite who thinks his jet-set lifestyle is normal and acceptable.
Victor Davis Hanson has some good advice that I'll leave you with:
To survive, Republicans must go on the offensive and point out that their accusers never live the lives they advocate for others. Liberal feminists seem to be John Edwards and Bill Clinton. Liberal men of the people are Al Gore, John Kerry, and Jon Corzine. Their populists who deplore outsourcing, offshore accounts, and non-unions are Apple and Facebook grandees who embrace all three. White privilege is not the fate of the West Virginian or West Texan working at Target, but the tiny, inbred old-boy and old-girl world of prep-school to Ivy League to the insider pull of Dad and Mom to land up with a phoned-in job in journalism, politics, finance, entertainment, the arts, and academia on the East and West coasts, followed by pro forma praise of diversity — for others. Open-borders zealots have their children behind the walls of private academies.
Surely there is a populist case to be made — or is the Republican establishment to manage a permanent, sober, and judicious out-party, as it is demagogued to death by the privileged?

Construct a Parish Church in Nigeria
Thursday, August 21, 2014
Project Code: 141-01-19
When speaking with ACN, African bishops and priests again and again emphasize just how important church buildings are for African Christians. Africans have a powerful sense of the "sacred space." Often they lament the fact that many European Catholics do not appear to understand them in this respect. For many people in the modern world seem to think it is better to build something "useful." This sense of the sacred and of the mysterious is becoming increasingly lost in the Western world.In 1990, a new parish was established in the town of Okugbe-Okpella in Edo State, in southwest Nigeria. It has nine outstations, some of which are very remote from the center. When the parish was first established, everything was extremely difficult. There was no money, and in many places no roads, no transport or means of communication. Pagan beliefs were still widespread among the people, and the healthcare situation was poor indeed. Since then much has changed thanks to the presence of the Church, but there are still many problems. Above all, the Catholic faithful long to have a proper parish church of their own, and they have been saving for years for this purpose. For even though they are extremely poor and and live from hand to mouth, scarcely able to feed themselves with what little they can grow in their fields, the House of God is so important to them that they are quite literally willing to go without in order to contribute to it. Everybody tries to put at least something in the collection plate each Sunday, and at harvest time the families offer up a part of their harvest. And even the people who work in the towns and can only come home on holidays to visit their families, willingly contribute to the Church. But more than this, they also pray fervently that one day their church will at last be finished. The bishop has even approved a special prayer to this end, which says: "We firmly believe that You, O Lord, will hear our prayers, so that we can build in our midst a worthy house in which we can worship You."Thanks to the many sacrifices made by the faithful in this way, the walls of the church are already standing, but the funds will not extend to the cost of the roof. Yet if this roof is not built quickly, the existing structure is in danger of being damaged by the heavy rain falls of the wet season. Then all their efforts will have been in vain. Father Lawrence Nwaneri, the parish priest writes: "I can testify to the fact that, without your help, the beautiful dream of having a church for the celebration of the Sacraments will be completely brought to nothing."ACN has already promised $8,100 towards the cost of the roof, so that all the hard work and sacrifice of the Catholic faithful in Okugbe-Okpella will not have been in vain.Will you help keep this promise so that these faithful can construct a church for their parish in Nigeria?

Check Out Mark-Paul Gosselaar's and Catriona McGinn's Gorgeous Wedding Rings!
Want to see Mark-Paul Gosselaar's and Catriona McGinn's wedding rings, up close and personal? Here you go!
-Lucia Peters
Now that we've had some time to digest the fact that Zack Morris will—alas!—never be ours, you know what it's time for? That's right: A look at newlyweds Mark-Paul Gosselaar's and Catriona McGinn's wedding rings! As usual, People has come through with all the gorgeous details. Here you go:
According to the celeb mag, these rings were handmade in platinum by Neil Lane—and unlike many of the rings he designs, he didn't collaborate solely with the groom on them. Both Mark-Paul and Catriona put in their two cents about what they wanted from their wedding bands. Said Neil, "They were very specific about their rings, wanted something very special and were so excited to be a part of the designing process. Mark-Paul wanted something strong and stylish, and right from the start, Catriona knew she wanted something very romantic and very sparkly to complement her cushion-cut diamond engagement ring."
Read Zack Morris Is Off the Market: Mark-Paul Gosselaar Got Married!
The resulting rings are different, yet complementary: Mark-Paul's is a wide platinum band with a burnished matte texture (very contemporary!), and Catriona's is a 3-carat eternity band set with diamonds on all three sides. Catriona completed her wedding look with these vintage-inspired, 10-carat diamond earrings:
So what do you think, Bettys? Personally, I kind of love the rings; their elegance lies in their simplicity, which I find absolutely gorgeous. Congrats again to the happy couple!
Tell us: Love the rings or hate them?

Stoeher, Tice X 2, Coffield, Sklut, White and some others...the lines were faded. Sponge or glass, there was people getting waves and all getting along with mutual respect. Waves were marginal but heavey and to much fun! Rock on gentlemen!

Tell Me About the Creation
The Design in the Cell
All living things are made up of cells. Even a single cell is self-sufficient; it can produce its own food, move, and communicate with other cells. With its extraordinary technology, the cell is concrete evidence that life cannot originate by chance.
The cell, even a single protein of which cannot form by chance, is a wonder of design that renders the "chance" hypothesis of evolution completely meaningless. In the cell, there are power stations, complex factories, a huge data bank, storage systems, and advanced refineries.
In Darwin's time, nothing was known about the extraordinary structure of the cell. Under the primitive microscopes of the day, the cell seemed to be a murky lump. For this reason, both Darwin and other evolutionists of his time believed that a cell was a simple driblet of water that could easily originate by chance. The idea that life could be attributed to chance gained acceptance because of this primitive scientific view.
The scientific developments in the 20th century, however, revealed that the cell has an unimaginably complex system. Today, it is established that the cell, which has such a complex design, could not possibly originate by chance as the theory of evolution claims. It is certain that a structure too complex to be imitated even by man cannot be the work of "chance". Renowned British mathematician and astronomer Professor Fred Hoyle puts this impossibility like this:
And in another commentary, Hoyle says: "Indeed, such a theory (that life was assembled by an intelligence) is so obvious that one wonders why it is not widely accepted as being self-evident. The reasons are psychological rather than scientific."10

A sigmoidoscopy helps your doctor look at the lower part of your large
intestine (sigmoid colon). The test is done using a lighted viewing scope
During a sigmoidoscopy, puffs of air sometimes are
blown through the scope to open the colon so that your doctor can see more
clearly. Your doctor will move the scope as far as possible into your lower
colon. Then the scope is slowly withdrawn while the colon is carefully
inspected. Your doctor may also insert tiny instruments through the scope to
get tissue samples (biopsy) or to take out growths.

Surat al-Anam, Verse 80
His people argued with him. He said, 'Are you arguing with me about Allah when He has guided me? I have no fear of any partner you ascribe to Him unless my Lord should will such a thing to happen. My Lord encompasses all things in His knowledge so will you not pay heed?
Almighty Allah says, "His people argued with him." Today, we see the same thing happening with some people entering such a state of dispute. "He said, 'Are you arguing with me about Allah when He has guided me?" because Allah has specified the path and how things will happen: Almighty Allah says that Prophet Jesus (as) will descend and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear. The salvation will be by means of Hazrat Mahdi (as). And this is what is reasonable, for only a single mind, a single wisdom can gather people, together. If other parties get involved in the decision making process, then anarchy will ensue. And this is exactly what is happening at the moment.
Surah Al Imran, Verse 104
Let there be a community among you who call to the good, and enjoin the right, and forbid the wrong. They are the ones who have success.
Almighty Allah says, I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan. "Those We have given the Book recognise it as they recognize their own sons. Yet a group of them knowingly conceal the truth."
This is the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Prophet Jesus (as). The system of Hazrat Mahdi (as), the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as). The fact that Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Prophet Jesus (as) seem to be apart at the moment, should not mislead them; they are actually a single community. Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the leader, he is the imam; Prophet Jesus (as) is his vizier. They operate through two different paths, but they are a single community. When we say, "The system of Mahdi", we mean both the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and of Prophet Jesus (as). They are all the same. That is to say, it would be incorrect to assume that they are two different groups, for Prophet Jesus (as) knows this by revelation and the hadith of our Prophet (saas). Hazrat Mahdi (as) is imam; that is what Prophet Jesus (as) himself says. He says, "You are my imam and I adhere to you." Once the imam and the vizier are obvious, there are the followers of the vizier and of Hazrat Mahdi (as). They all become the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Prophet Jesus (as) also becomes the vizier of Hazrat Mahdi (as), insha'Allah.
Surat al-Baqara, Verse 146
Those We have given the Book recognize it as they recognize their own sons. Yet a group of them knowingly conceal the truth.
Notice that it is said; "Those We have given the Book," There is reference to the People of the Book, but of course Allah also granted a book to us. Those who have faith, "recognize it as they recognize their own sons." Allah describes in such a way that they recognize him when they see him as if he is their own son. It is because Allah describes his eye brows, mouth, nose, height in such a way that, they immediately recognize him. "Yet a group of them knowingly conceal the truth." Allah explains the situation of such people [who feign ignorance]. The system of Mahdi is very clear, and those people will recognize him fine. What does Allah say? "Yet a group of them knowingly conceal the truth." There is surely a reference to our Prophet (saas) but there is also a very clear reference to the end of the times. Its abjad calculation is very interesting. It gives the date of 1950s. The dates following the 1950s. What happened after the 50s? Masha'Allah.
Mr. Adnan Oktar' Hadith Explanations
Abdulaziz ibn Muslim related as follows: "When Almighty Allah selects Imam Mahdi to administer His other servants' works, He opens his heart so as to make him handle this task. He inspires him such a knowledge that he never finds it difficult to answer any question, he never swerves from the truth. He never gives an vague answer. For this reason, Imam Mahdi, who is assigned by Allah to administer the works of His servants, is innocent. He is supported and rendered successful. He is shown to the right path. He is purified from flaws, slips of the tongues and missteps. Allah created him (Imam Mahdi) special for this work, so that he becomes his perfect evidence for His servants and the witness among the created." (Faith and disbelief / Usul al-Qafi (Al-Usul min Al-Qafi) Al-Qulayn, Volume 1)
"When Almighty Allah selects Imam Mahdi to administer His other servants' works, He opens his heart so as to make him handle this task." Allah will give him wisdom. [Some] people think that Hazrat Mahdi (as) has independent power of his own. The truth is, Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a shadow being that is under the control of Allah. Allah just makes him instrumental for the reign of Islam. That's it. The entire might belongs to Allah alone. Allah creates all the steps, words and letters [of Hz.Mahdi]. What he is going to say had already been set before he was even born from his mother. The same hadith says,
"He inspires in him such a knowledge that he never finds it difficult to answer any question," Masha'Allah. He has such a knowledge that Hazrat Mahdi (as) never says, "I don't know." Hazrat Mahdi (as) explains in the best way. May Allah make us followers of him and benefit from his knowledge.
"…he never swerves from the truth" He never swerves from the truth, because he is accompanied by Gabriel and Michael [the Archangels]. Cubbeli says, "I would also not swerve from the truth if I were also accompanied by angels." "That is what happens when Allah predestines it." He is right. For instance he says, "If the knowledge given to Prophet Jesus (as) were given to me, I would also revive the dead, insha'Allah." All power belongs to Allah. Allah's might is manifested there because Allah allows it.
And "…He never gives an inexact answer."
Masha'Allah, masha'Allah. Indeed, if he says something inaccurate, the angel immediately warns him to correct it. Gabriel and Michael inspires in his heart, and wants him to correct his words. But that is just an inspiration, he will just feel it so in his heart.
"Imam Mahdi, who is assigned by Allah to administer the works of His servants, is innocent. He is supported and rendered succesful."
When one thinks that he has done something wrong, he in fact does the right thing. One says, "He has done a big mistake." No, this is not the case. It is what is right, for it is the order of Almighty Allah. "There is blessing in disguise." There is goodness in every act of Hazrat Mahdi (as).2013-05-22 13:57:40

Former Ranger Mark Hardy is in a heap of trouble. Here's a breaking story.
This hurts me because I always liked the guy — and I'm not jumping to conclusions or declaring him guilty — but this goes to show that you never, never know.
By the way, Hardy is the L.A. Kings assistant coach who had a fight with Sean Avery when he was in Los Angeles. One of the main reasons I didn't like Avery when the Rangers first got him. Maybe, pending the outcome of this case, I change my mind on Avery?

Hi all.
I'm coming to south Africa soon for a ~2 month trip, most of which i plan to spend climbing.
I'm landing at Johannesburg Nov. 12th, and departing from Capetown mid Jan. (16th i think). I'm 27, coming with full sports gear, and my hardest climbs are currently around 6c (hopefully by the end the trip i'll be climbing harder, and possibly learn trad). I'd be happy with help on a few questions-
-I'm planning on starting the trip in Boven, probably spend around a month there (or until the rain starts). would it be a good idea to rent a car? and should it be easy enough to find partners?
-Around December or January, could it become cold enough to climb around Capetown? and would that be a good place to learn to climb trad?
-i haven't really got a plan regarding which route to take from Boven to Capetown, and i'm pretty flexible as far as how much time to spend where. could anyone recommend on which places are worth stopping at on the way? (for climbing or whatever cool\interesting things to see or do)
Thanks, looking forward to getting to your country already...
Sef [Assaf] from Jerusalem

Re: South Africa climbing trip
Howzit Sef, if you have cash renting a car is best because our public transport sucks! I would say you should drive from Boven to Rocklands for some bouldering (if you are interested in doing some), then down through Montague for some great sport, and on to cape town, which has climbing of all three disciplines. Table Mountain in CT has many beautiful trad lines. in terms of weather Rocklands and Montague might be a touch hot but Cape towns weather doesn't get that extreme. The place to pick up partners is in the camp ground I would think.
Hope this helps,
Hope this helps,
Re: South Africa climbing trip
Thanks mate. sounds like a great route i hadn't heard of Montague before so thanks, it seems like a place i should definitely go through.
I think my main problem is i need a few more months to get to all these sites...

If you are interested in bouldering in the Cape, drop me a line. I get out at least 3 times a week. Plus I am also still going to Rocklands even though it is off-season.

HOUSTON - Friends and family gathered Friday for a candlelight vigil for a woman gunned down in the Meyerland area.
Erika Moreno, 29, was shot and killed Jan. 10 as she was driving in her SUV. Investigators said around 11 p.m., Moreno was driving near the 5400 block of Birdwood near Renwick when someone opened fire at her vehicle.
Officials said Moreno tried to get away by slamming her SUV into reverse, but ended up careening into a grassy easement. She later died while still inside the SUV.
Investigators said the shooting may have started over an argument. The killer remains at large.
The vigil was held at the same location as the slaying. Organizers of the event said they want to keep her name alive so they can hopefully find who did this.
If you have any information about this crime, give Crime Stoppers a call at 713-222-TIPS (8477).

Topic: Question about liver enzymes
My Mom was diagnosed with this disease at the end of April, just a few days after her 69th birthday. What a birthday gift. She spent about 3 weeks in the hospital. She had fluid buildup in the lungs after she had her 2nd ERCP. They thought this was a gallstone/gallbladder problem at first. The first ERCP was to remove a stone or so they thought. The bile duct was so tight that they couldn't use their equipment. They had to send her to another hospital where they had better equipment. There, they were able to insert a stent. She is back in the hospital with cellulitis/blood infection which is going away. Today her doctor said that her liver enzymes were normal. My question would be are normal liver enzymes a good sign? I realize that normal is a good thing but am I getting my hopes up with this one result?
