The coach came in and, this time didn't sit down. He said he's not going to give us 45 minutes like he did last year because he said too much and got into trouble for saying it last year. Then he went nearly 40 minutes again, and pretty much answered every question, some of them very interestingly … except those about himself or his new contract.
John Tortorella:
On his contract:
"I'm not going to talk about myself. This is all about … if you have questions about the team and the players and stuff like that. I've never felt comfortable and I'm not going to feel comfortable"
On the feeling two days after Game 5:
"It sucks."
On Gaborik saying he needs to regroup and re-think his game and get in better shape:
"Yeah, I mean, he cares. And it wasn't a good year for him. It certainly wasn't up to his standard. He does. However he needs to re-commit himself to make this work and to get into a better mindset — I think that starts with a mindset and that propels him onto the ice to help the team — he'll do. One thing that's promising to me is I saw it. The first year that he was here I saw it. He did it. And hopefully he comes back and does it again. This wasn't him this year, for whatever reason, and we can beat it up all we want, but I saw a different player a year before. He knows that, which is the most important thing. We had a very good meeting today and he wants to get himself in a situation where he can really help the club, especially offensively."
Said it wasn't his injuries that effected the way Gaborik played.
"I know he cares. That's the bottom line. When a player cares and he's done it before and has played at a level, he'll get back to that level."
What was his problem this year?
"I have no idea. You'll have to ask him. Again, I don't want to … I know that's a big topic here, but I'm not going to dissect it completely. Some of that belongs between Gabby and I. So all I'm tell you guys on the subject of Gabby is he knows he didn't play up to his standard, we know, and he wants to get back to it. And I always look at players. When I see a young player improving, when he's a young guy, it's promising because he's improving. When I see a guy play a a level, you know that he has the ability to get back there, and I believe Gabby will."
On the way the team is structured, it is critical for him to get back there:
"Yes. And I think that's a motivation for him, too. He sees that. I think we have a really good foundation, but we also need to be able to be more consistent skillfully, too. Gabby has that. I don't want to speak out of turn with Glen, but I think if we can, and it's there, we need to add some skill to our lineup. I think we have guys, and I always, because I get killed as far as how I'm saying it, I'm trying to be … there's skill on our hockey club. The top-end skill, that's something we need to add, and Gabby is top-end skill."
Is that within the system, or does it have to come from the outside?
"I think right now, within the system, it depends on … I'll put it to you this way. We need to look at all avenues. Because I think we're building the right foundation. I think we had some really good growth and surprises. When you get into the real stuff of the playoffs and you play a skillful team like Washington, you can see where we need some help in that area there. So we'll have to look in all areas."
Who surprised him this season?
"You start with the two kids who are playing 3 and 4 on our defense in McDonagh and Sauer. McDonagh coming out of college, Michael Sauer really having an injury-prone year the prior year and stepped right into camp and played very well at a very tough position. Stepan comes out, and we forget he's right out of college. We didn't know if he was going to be here or in Hartford or whatever. He had a very good year. He found it a different life in the playoffs. There was a different animal there. Brian Boyle, as I said to guys all year long, I thought he was going to Hartford. He had a really good year. Anisimov struggled toward the end of the year, I thought struggled in the playoffs. But for a young man, he's just beginning to understand what it is to be a pro, I thought he had some growth. I probably missed some guys. But we grew. It was a team that found its identity and stuck with it. And, again, we need to keep getting better, keep adding to that foundation."
On Boyle and Prust playing more than they ever had in their careers, and how they continue to play at that level:
"They've got to do it again. It's not me. It's them. They have to do it again. That's when you become … you know, Pruster didn't play much in Calgary. It was probably a really good career move. It was a great deal for us. I didn't expect some of the things out of Pruster that we got out of him. We can talk about how good players were, but you have to do it again. That's when it's legit. So some of these guys have to continue improving, not just do it again, but continue to improve. I look at Brian Boyle. Although he didn't score the goals, I thought he was probably one of our most consistent forwards in the playoffs. That's good. Pruster, it was a first time for him. At times, it was a bit of an up and down situation for him in the playoffs. It was his first time. So with these guys that have these years, and we continue to build our team, you can't rest. You can't give into it and say, 'I'm here.' You've got to continue to improve, and I think the type of people they are, I know they know it … but I think they feel that already."
On Michael Del Zotto getting back to the level he was as a rookie, and being the power play quarterback:
"There's a number of building blocks with Michael, and a number of defensemen that had pretty good rookie years ended up taking a step backwards. You accept that, and maybe change some things, and I don't want to get into specifics, but something has to change and you embrace the process. Because it's not an easy position to play. And I'm really anxious to see Michael, first of all get him healthy, and really anxious to see him in camp again. He's going to get a fair whack at it again in camp and I think there's mental maturity that goes with it. And as each player goes through the ups and downs that Michael has, I think he'll mature. I know I use it ad nauseum, the process. But that's what it is. These are young people. This is a young team that is still going through the process and for some of them, it's been a little herky jerky along the way, but that's still a process. It's how you handle those situations."
On being concerned, at last year's break-up day, about Del Zotto falling off after his rookie year:
"Well, in the second half of the year he wasn't exactly dead-on. It just had slipped a little bit. He's got tremendous promise, and it's something that we need. We need that offensive type guy. See, I thought his defending — he's learning how to defend; it's the offensive part of the game that we hope comes about. Because that's a big part of what we need here, also, within our team, is that type of defenseman. So, as a young guy, you make a read on him, and you know, the second half of (last) year wasn't great for him, and I'm not sure if that snowballed on him or not, but it's been a … this kid's 20 years old and it's the toughest position to play and it's a lot to ask of the amount of responsibility he got. And we took some of it away to allow him to not miss the steps in the process and hopefully he'll respond as we start next year."
On having a young team, and Henrik Lundqvist saying that, for the first time, he thought, "I only have so many years left" and how quickly this team can ascend:
"It depends. I don't have a crystal ball. We're doing it the right way. Like I said to you before, and I jumped the gun after our last game, I know we're doing it the right way. But I don't have a crystal ball. I think during the summer here, if there are opportunities to add some pieces, it depends what happens there. Because there's a group of people that we definitely feel are the core, but you're always looking to try and improve your team. I'm sure Glen's going to be doing that during the summer, and we'll see. If there are certain pieces added that help people, that help the club along the way, you ascend quicker. But there's no, you just can't put a timetable on it. You need to stay with it, though, and not get impatient with it when it isn't working right away, because it does take time. And so we'll see."
I asked him if there comes a point where they say, "We've got a lot of kids now, we've laid the foundation, we've got a lot of second/third-line depth … maybe now we can trade some tomorrow for today."
"It doesn't have to be a trade, but if that right piece is there, maybe in free agency, yeah. Because I think we, and I felt we really stuck with it this year through the trading deadline. We kept our kids and the kids kept on growing, so I think our foundation has grown. If there's an opportunity to add that piece that isn't a kid, that will help you in a position, sure. But let's not upset the building process of getting rid of all our kids for a 'Maybe.' I don't think it has to be in a trade. It could be free agency. I haven't looked at the free agency list (ED. NOTE: I thought about calling B.S. on him when he said that). We'll have to look at that and that's what we're just starting to do now. But I agree with you. There's timing in this stuff here. And I think as we've added a lot of kids this year and they've grown into some pretty big pieces to our team, you've got to look at that, maybe that top-line player, that top skilled guy. Sure, we're going to look at that guy."
More to come later … good stuff on Avery, on Drury, on Staal … very interesting. Then, as I said earlier, some more players.

I was diagnosed with BPD (borderline personality disorder) recently and have been having TLE symptoms as well. Is there a link between the 2? I read that it is a possibility that the activity from a TLE seizure has something to do with the mood swings and hallucinations, ...that a BPD person experiences. I had taken home an eeg for 24 hours and it showed nothing, so, I am totally confused. I know eeg's are usually normal with epilepsy, but, with 5 head injuries and a lesion on my frontal lobe, what are my chances of having TLE as well??
Re: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Borderline Personality Disorder

Re: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Borderline Personality Disorder
I have been diagnosed with BPD and bipolar. On my second EEG I had temporal lobe seizure activity. I think all three are related.
Re: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Borderline Personality Disorder
Seizure activity and the side effects of AEDs can mimic the "symptoms" that psychiatrists like to use for diagnosing a psych disorder. I'm absolutely amazed reading American Ep sites just how many of you have been dxd with bipolar/personality disorders and are subsequently pumped full of psychotropic drugs, but the American shrinks seem to love over- diagnosing.
If the seizures were there before the psych dx and if mental symptoms develop in relation to starting an AED, then there's a good chance they're related, and it may involve having to change AEDs, thogh it's not that esay given that EVERY aed drug has psychiatric side effects.
I'm speaking as someone who was diagnosed as "Borderline" over 20 years ago which happened to coincide with being put on phenobarb for my ep. It took nearly 20 years to get "undiagnosed" and finally vindicated by a psychiatrist who actually had training in neurology. Once you get given a psych label, it doesn't matter if it turned out to be a mistake, you can never get rid of it. Now that I'm no longer "borderline" I've noticed a big change in how I'm treated my the medical scene ie, I used to be treated really badly on the basis of my psych dx.
So I would ask your doc on what basis your diagnosis was made, and question that your symptoms may be a direct result of ep/ side effects.
Re: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Borderline Personality Disorder
EEgs can benormal in TLe often the neural firing is too deep in the brain to register on EEg and if you are not having an actual sz when the EEg is taken it can give a false negative--ie it says you dont have E but you really do. If youe E is coming from rt side of brain it will more likely than not affect MOOD and BEHAVOIR. Left suide TLe is more schizo like w hallucinations. Corinna
Re: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Borderline Personality Disorder
I have been looking for answwers for 30 years--hence the other possibilities for seizures have been overlooked--to me there is no cause in my situation--since the nerves run throughout the body--could it be heart or sugar?
Re: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Borderline Personality Disorder
Changes in mood and/or behavior can happen in different types of epilepsy, not just temporal lobe epilepsy. The frontal lobe is also involved in regulating different types of behavior/mood. It's often hard to tell which behaviors are realted to seizures, underlying brain injury, or something else. One key is to track symptoms and note the length of changes, when they occur, what occurs, do the same symptoms happen each time or are they very different? Try using the seizure diary on the site to track symptoms. Then you can print out a report to share with the doctor. Hope this helps get some answers!

That collective sigh emitted when AFL players file into a bar could soon be a thing of the past. Not, of course, from the ladies - the players' biceps aren't getting any smaller - but from the men, who know their chances of getting any female attention walked out the same door as the players walked in.
This levelling out of the playing field comes in the form of Daniel Hechter, the French fashion house responsible for dressing the Fremantle Dockers. The brand is opening its first Australian stores, with a site locked away on St George's Terrace.
At odds with the format other international brands follow - in which stores open first in Sydney and then spread east - Daniel Hechter stores will open simultaneously in Perth and Melbourne and then look to Sydney.
Tanguy Mulliez is the man responsible for spreading the brand around the world and says Perth was first chosen because of a gap in boutique menswear.
Upon his visit to Perth this week, Mr Mulliez was so excited about its prospects that he decided to open the Melbourne store at the same time.
"Perth is an important city and we feel there's room in the market and gap to fill in, in terms of boutique service," he said.
"When we talk about branded casual wear as well as real formalwear, there is a need and there is room in the market."
It's Dockers' policy that Daniel Hechter suits are worn at all functions, but it's even become the personal suit of choice for some players; Aaron Sandilands donned a Daniel Hechter suit for his wedding.
Mr Mulliez says the Australian stores will be more relaxed to fit Australia's sporty lifestyle.
"Every market is different," Mr Mulliez said.
"There is a difference in the weather between every country, between the way some companies have to dress more or less formally.
"Australia is a more sporty country than those in Europe. Australians dress more casually, but it can be luxury casual. Australians may be looking for more technical fabrics in garments because they're going to be more active.
The Brookfield Place site was favoured over other seemingly fitting locations, like King Street, because of its architectural merit. The store will join high-end Australian menswear label M. J. Bale in its new Brookfield home.
"It's a nice location in terms of building and architecture," Mr Mulliez said.
"Mr Hechter has always been a fan of architecture and art. And it's also a nice environment with the surrounding stores."
And as for his impressions of Australia in general?
"It's an open-minded country and also relaxed. Even through the country is on an island, far from Europe and a lot of countries, Australia seems open to the rest of the world."

HOUSTON - Police are investigating a deadly shooting at a home Saturday night.
It happened on Tolnay Street.
Early Saturday evening, two men walked into the home and shot multiple people, killing one of them, police said.
Authorities said the shooters left in a dark vehicle.
A neighbor said he heard gunfire coming from the home and saw three people who appeared to have gunshot wounds when he went outside. He also saw a mother of one of the victims show up.
"I saw young guy calling his mama on his cellphone and he said, 'Mama, I got shot,' and I could tell he's a young guy," said Sherman Broomfield.
That man was taken to Ben Taub and is expected to be OK, according to relatives.
One neighbor who arrived home to this scene said the home is known to be a hangout spot.
"There was a couple dealers in and out of the house, wouldn't be surprised if someone robbed them for their stash or something," said Franklin Jefferson.
Police said they believe this might have been a drug-related shooting.
If you have any information that could help police, call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's soccer team (5-4) defeated the Barry University Buccaneers (3-8) by the final score of 4-2, Tuesday evening from Buccaneer Field.
The Lions, led by a three–goal first half, snapped a three-match losing streak as they upended the Buccaneers for the second time this season.
The scoring started early for the Lions as Konstantin Pyankov notched his first goal of the season. Bruno Da Silva fed the defender a direct ball from the six-yard box and slotted it inside the near post.
In his first game back from injury, Kyle Wilson put the Lions up 2-0 in the 29th minute, after collecting a rebound off an Edgar Herrera blast. Wilson settled the ball at his right foot and scorched the back of the net for his first tally.
Sean McFarlane closed-out the Lions' scoring in the first the half as his 30th minute as his 24-yard blast gave the Lions a 3-0 advantage. The Buccaneers made the lead 3-1 in the 31st minutes as Thomas Coombes capped a series where the two teams combined for three goals in three minutes.
Barry carried the momentum in the second half as Kris Wilkinson edged one past Manuel Schoenhuber to make the score 3-2.
Saint Leo settled play, however, as Da Silva broke from Buccaneer defenders and made a run down the center of the field. Staying onside, Da Silva collected a direct feed from Viktor Wikner and struck it past Fred Perez for the final tally in the 88th minute.
The defense withstood the final attack from Barry as the Lions' improved to 5-4. Schoenhuber made one save on the evening.
Saint Leo and Barry collected 13 shots apiece, while the two teams combined for 24 fouls and totaling four corner kicks apiece.
The Lions will now travel to Lakeland, Fla. to challenge the Florida Southern College Moccasins in a Sunshine State Conference showdown. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. from Barnett Field.

Good News....Bad News Regarding Regent Seven Seas Voyager: Seven Seas Voyager Cruise Review by guyien
Overall Member Rating
Good News....Bad News Regarding Regent Seven Seas Voyager
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
1. The crew and staff were very professional and provided excellent service. They appeared to take ownership of the cruise and displayed a desire to ensure all passengers were pleased, as though each crew member was responsible for the satisfaction of the passengers. Very commendable.
2. The food was quite good at all venues, including the specialty restaurants.
3. The room service provided by our butler and steward was good.
4. The condition of our suite was quite disappointing. The furniture was tired looking. The condition of the lanai furniture (padded seats) was deplorable (stains and dirt). I found screws that were loose on the hinges of the lavette bathroom door.
5. The most disconcerting issue was the foul smell (sewage) coming from the main shower and lavette toilet in our suite. Both the More butler and steward were alerted of this situation twice and attempted to resolve it to no avail. We talked to other passengers who voiced similar experience.
6. The wireless internet system on the ship is sub-standard. When I cruise, it is essential that I am able to conduct business via the internet. All week long I had difficulty maintaining connection and/or the connection speed was agonizingly slow. This was reported to the ship's General Manager who did follow-through and alerted the Internet Manager who left a voice message giving some "helpful hints". The problems of connecting from the suite were never remedied.
7. The Cruise Director was acceptable but certainly nothing out of the ordinary. In my estimation, he did very little to invigorate the guests.
8. The entertainment on board was quite good. My wife and I attended each show and were impressed with the level of talent.
9. The carpeting in the public areas of the ship was in horrible condition. There were stains just about everywhere you looked.
10. The side tours were adequate at best.
11. The embarkation and disembarkation process was well coordinated and very efficient.
My wife and I have been on a number of cruises from which we are able to draw comparisons. Though we understand the Voyager was destined for refurbishment at the end of our cruise, the experience with Regent Seven Seas would have been greatly enhanced if we had not encountered the aforementioned problems and in particular, the repulsive smell that prevailed in the suite. A more responsible cruise line would have closed the suite to passengers until such time as the problems were resolved. I am sure the folks who preceded us in cabin 916 experienced the same problems. Not a good way to run a business, especially a cruise line.
Like good restaurants, there are plenty of good cruise lines and ships to choose from. There may be no "perfect cruise" but unfortunately our experience with Regent Seven Seas did not match our expectations. Less

Well it's a brand new year and we're back with our Tech Round-Up to cover all the latest news in the industry.
This week we take a look at quantum computing, the latest acquisitions at Apple and Google, LG's amazing 4K TV lineup and of course, the new PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles!
CUTTING EDGE: NSA Working on a Code-Cracking Quantum Computer
The Washington Post has reported that the United States National Security Agency is working on a new quantum computer to break message encryption. Supposedly around £49 million has been spent by the NSA so far but no working machine has emerged.
Quantum computing is still very much in its infancy, the biggest problem being that observation and outside interference can affect a quantum computer's operation. If the NSA did manage to get it to work, it could be used to decrypt secure messages from foreign governments.
The name of this ambitious project is 'Penetrating Hard Targets' alleged from the whistle-blower Edward Snowden's disclosed documents.
Many research groups around the world are working on quantum computing as unlike a conventional computer a quantum machine can carry out a vast number of simultaneous calculations thus making it far more effective at complex decryption tasks.
The technology in theory is quite amazing and it appears the NSA has started to make the basic building blocks for such a machine. It could still be some time before we see a working model though.
APPLE: Reportedly Acquires Developer Behind Photo App 'SnappyCam'
The Cupertino tech giant has reportedly made another acquisition in the form of SnappyLabs, the one-man developer of the SnappyCam app. This information was reported by TechCrunch on Saturday although Apple is yet to confirm the deal officially.
The founder of SnappyLabs is John Papandriopoulos, an electrical engineer from the University of Melbourne and he is in fact the only employee.
If the deal is confirmed he would be working with Apple on future camera app developments, allowing them to make better use of the iPhone's hardware.
SnappyCam essentially allowed the user to take a series of burst camera shots with very little reduction in image quality, boasting shooting speeds of 20 to 30 frames per second and superior to Apple's offering.
Following reports of the acquisition, SnappyCam has been pulled from the App Store. This purchase could be an excellent move for Apple; the expertise could not only be used to improve the camera app for new, high-end devices but also to bring burst-shot capability to older iPhone models as well.
ANDROID: Popular Alarm App 'Timely' Has Been Purchased By Google
Well it certainly seems to be the season for new business purchases as reports now come in that Google has acquired the team behind the stunning alarm app 'Timely'.
The company Bitspin is delighted with the move and has released a statement re-establishing its commitment to the delivery of great, innovative products. The app continues to be available on the Google Play store and all in-app content is now free of charge going forward.
If you haven't checked out 'Timely' yet then I strongly recommend you do, it is quite simply one of the most beautiful apps out there at the moment, not to mention being a fantastic alarm clock substitute.
It will be exciting to see how this excellent quality is translated into new Google products over the coming years. I for one cannot wait.
GADGETS: LG Unveils New Line-Up of 4K Televisions
Well I don't know if it qualifies as a 'gadget' exactly but tech giant LG have announced twelve 4K resolution televisions for 2014.
These include a monster 105-inch LCD model and two curved OLED series as well; this makes for one of the most extensive 4K product offerings on the market to date.
For those not familiar with the term, 4K is essentially a form of Ultra-HD picture that fits around 4,000 pixels horizontally across the screen.
We can expect to see advancements in LG's Smart TV technology plus hopefully the latest connectivity enhancements in the form of HDMI 2.0 but this has yet to be confirmed.
Various other enhancements and refinements have been added to the different models including a proprietary chip to enhance resolution on the larger UB9800 series and Colour Refiner and High Dynamic Range (HDR) on the OLED devices.
Cinema-quality television is coming to our living rooms sooner than you think!
GAMING: The Next Generation of Gaming
I would be remiss if I didn't write something about the next generation of console gaming: the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
It seemed these new platforms couldn't come soon enough to most gamers and since their release in November; both consoles have been selling like hot cakes. Various figures seem to be reporting one console ahead of another but it's just too close to call at the moment.
However, there do seem to be more Xbox Ones available to buy online right now. Essentially, it all comes down to personal preference and what you want from your gaming machine.
The PS4 slightly outstrips the One on raw graphical power but this doesn't necessarily translate to increased performance. Furthermore, Microsoft seem to have built the One to be a comprehensive home media centre with Sony claiming their own machine is for the 'pure gamer' instead.
At the end of the day, both are fantastic pieces of kit and what your decision could come down to are the games exclusive to each console.
Halo lovers will want a One for the 5th game in the franchise, plus the hotly anticipated Titanfall. Whereas the PS4 will have Infamous: Second Son and Killzone Shadow Fall.
The decision is entirely yours but if you can't afford either console right now, there are still some fantastic games on offer for the 'previous-gen' Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 so be sure to check them out as well.
James is a freelance technology and science writer from Bucks.
His interests range from gadgets and apps to movies and gaming, really anything geeky!

text: Magdev 197 Report post Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) I'm making a 2D sidescroller in XNA and I'm having an issue with the way the camera follows the player. When the player walks left or right, and its walk speed is a decimal number, there's jitter. This is what it looks like. I had to slow the game down to 50% speed for the gif to catch the jitter frames. (Ignore the random vertical twitching, that's just some strange graphical bug that happens when I scale the backbuffer up too far.) I believe the cause of this is the relative speed between the camera and the player. In the gif, the player's speed is at 1.5, so it will alternate between moving one pixel and two pixels per frame. This causes a sort of desync between the player and camera movement which causes the jitter. I need to be able to use decimal speeds because first of all, a speed of 1 is a bit slow for the player, and 2 is a bit fast, but also, if I add acceleration/deceleration the player's speed won't always be a whole number. Some details: - Nothing is rounded in-code. All positions and velocities are floats. Rounding isn't needed since nothing can move in sub-pixels. I reduced the backbuffer resolution so changing an object's position by 1 will move it one pixel. Everything is drawn at integer positions, of course. - It's not the update order. The cycle is simple right now. The player moves, then the camera is updated. Switching the order doesn't fix the issue. - I remembered that Cave Story has nice and smooth camera interpolation, and large pixels, so I fired it up to see what it looks like, and I was really surprised too see that it suffers the same problem. For roughly a second after the camera starts moving, the player jitters by one horizontal pixel. My camera movement interpolation code is this: if (camPos != playerPos) camPos += (playerPos - camPos) * strength; Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm sure SOMEBODY has had this issue before other than me (and Pixel). If I need to include any more relevant code snippets, just let me know. I can't really think of any that would help at the moment. Edited May 23, 2013 by Magdev 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Telchuria (sometimes referred to as High Boros or Hyborea) is an ice-covered continent at the north pole of Oerth, home to the World of Greyhawk campaign setting. It is one of the planet's four continents, the others being Oerik, Hepmonaland, and an as-yet unnamed fourth continent on the opposite side of the Oerth from the Flanaess.
It is possible that, in the depth of winter, a natural ice bridge forms between Telchuria and the Land of Black Ice.

Will have John Tortorella's presser shortly.
First, he said that Grachev will play, starting on right wing on a fourth line with Christensen on the left and White in the middle. (Markus Naslund, unofficially, is the only Ranger ever to wear No. 91, which Grachev will wear in his NHL debut).
Stepan is moving between Frolov and Prust. Boyle moves to what should be a good forechecking line with Avery and Fedotenko … they played together some Wednesday.
Gilroy remains in, with Eminger. Lundqvist in goal. Boogaard is out with a hand infection. Sauer is prucha'd.

The appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as), whom our Prophet (saas) said will be sent in the End Times and described as a holy individual who will eliminate fitnah on Earth and bring to it peace, justice, plenty, security, happiness and well-being, is an auspicious event the Islamic community has been awaiting for hundreds of years. The fact that a great many of the events revealed as portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) are taking place one after the other is a clear sign that these glad tidings are about to be made a reality. The Qur'an contains various metaphorical glad tidings about the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as), who is described in detail in terms of his name, qualities and activities in many hadiths of the Prophet (saas).
Statements by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi follow the same lines as the signs in the Qur'an and the hadiths of our Prophet (saas). However, the concept of the "collective personality" employed by Bediuzzaman in his works has led to the same misunderstanding with regard to Hazrat Mahdi (as) as it has with regard to the Prophet Jesus (as). It can be seen from accounts and from statements by great Islamic scholars that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not be a collective personality, but rather a holy individual who has been described in great detail, right down to his physical features, character and good manners, and line of descent. Of course, however, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will have a collective personality, just like all the messengers who have gone before him. Indeed, it is revealed in accounts that this collective personality will enfold the whole world.
This means that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be at the head of his followers, in other words of his collective personality. Indeed, there are several analyses in Bediuzzaman's writings that make this transparently clear. The quotations from Bediuzzaman below are perfectly clear and distinct as to leave no room for doubt that Hazrat Mahdi (as) is an individual, not a collective personality. Terms such as "that person" and "that individual," used by Bediuzzaman in reference to Hazrat Mahdi (as), perfectly clarifies the misunderstanding regarding the concept of the collective personality:
Moreover, they imagined the mighty works pertaining to the collective identity or community which those individuals represent to be in their persons and expounded them in that way, so that they ascribed a form to them whereby when those EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUALS [the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as)] appear, everyone will recognize them. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, The Words / Twenty-Fourth Word, Eighth Principle)
In this passage Bediuzzaman uses the expression "extraordinary individuals" to refer to Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as), thus making it clear that both are real individuals rather than collective personalities.
... THAT GREAT PERSONAGE of the End Times will be from the Ahl al-Bayt [descended from the Prophet (saas)]. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Emirdag Addendum, pp. 247-250; Rays, p. 442)
In the words "that great personage of the End Times," Bediuzzaman reiterates that Hazrat Mahdi (as) is an individual who will appear in the End Times. The fact he states that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be descended from the Prophet (saas) clearly reveals that Bediuzzaman is not referring to Hazrat Mahdi (as) as a collective personality because it is out of question for a collective personality to be descended from another human being.
... And I told them: "I cannot be sure I am a sayyid [descendant of the Prophet (saas)]. The generations are unknown at this time. But THAT GREAT PERSONAGE of the End Times will be one from the Ahl al-Bayt [the family of the Prophet (saas)]. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Emirdag Addendum, p. 267)
In this passage, Bediuzzaman again refers to "that great personage of the End Times," thus clearly revealing that Hazrat Mahdi (as) is an individual, not a collective personality.
In saying that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be descended from the line of the Prophet (saas), Bediuzzaman again clarifies the issue. As explained above, in order for him to be descended from the Prophet (saas), Hazrat Mahdi (as) has to be a human being, which is what Bediuzzaman makes crystal clear in this extract.
Since His custom has proceeded in this way, certainly, at the time of the greatest corruption at the end of time, He will send a mujtahid, a mujaddid [reviver], and a judge, and ruler, and a Mahdi, and a guide to the true path, and a Qutb al-Azam [a great saint to whom Muslims adhere], and A RADIANT INDIVIDUAL, and THAT PERSON will be from the Family of the Prophet (saas). (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Letters / Twenty-Ninth Letter - Seventh Section, p. 515)
... mujtahid (a scholar who derives legal rulings)
... mujaddid (reviver)
… judge
... Mahdi
... guide to the true path
... Qutb al-Azam
... a radiant individual
As can be seen from their meanings, the qualities cited by Bediuzzaman can only belong to a human being.
In addition, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi refers to Hazrat Mahdi (as) as "a radiant individual." If Bediuzzaman had wished to emphasize that Hazrat Mahdi (as) was a collective personality he would have referred to him as a "radiant collective personality," not as a "radiant individual."
Furthermore, the above use of the word "a" before the word "individual" again clarifies the issue. The word "individual" is also used in the sense of a single person. Bediuzzaman uses the words "an individual" here, not "two" or "individuals." Therefore, all the descriptions of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi clearly prove he is not referring to Hazrat Mahdi (as) as a collective personality.
As can be seen from all these statements by Bediuzzaman, like all the messengers sent over the course of history, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come as an individual. He will also have a collective personality, however. A Mahdi movement will emerge from his preaching, intellectual struggle and activities. But Hazrat Mahdi (as) will personally be in charge of matters. Indeed, it is essential that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be personally sent as an individual in order for these things to take place. Therefore, Hazrat Mahdi's (as) collective personality will be the ones who follow him. And he will be at the head of this collective personality as the leader. However, although the explanations regarding this matter in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) and in statements by Islamic scholars are perfectly clear, the claim that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be a collective personality rather than an individual may prevent people making a correct analysis of the subject. Belief that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come as a collective personality may prevent people awaiting the coming of this holy individual, trying to recognize and locate him, and thus identifying him. (Allah knows the truth.)

pretty much what Mitchell said.

pretty much what Mitchell said.
Summer or winter...tough call. There is so little time (daylight) to surf in winter, yet the waves are huge. In the summer you have plenty of daylight, but last summer we seriously had no waves for two months up here. For surfing, winter is better. For overall quality of life, fun and happiness...you can't beat summer near the Ocean. I love all the pale Maine chicks frolicking on the beach with their REI flip flops and North Face baseball caps.
I do have a feeling the thick suits will stay on a bit longer this year.
More importantly, only 39 days until daylight saving time!
I'm a teacher so I love summer! Surf early and surf late, Kayak and fish or crab in between. It may not be epic swell conditions but It's great to be able to have the board or boards out all day. I'll set up and have a couple of boards and a couple of sponges available. It's never super crowded. Maybe 4th of July...
When I was young and in school I loved it. Warm weather and long days, and on the east coast you can typically trunk it come late June/early July. But as others said, at the expense of crowds and consistently flat to waist high conditions, it's sometimes not worth what you gain as an adult who has to work year-round. Give it a few years, you'll see.
Once you start going out in the off season, you realize that for the small price of a little body heat and comfort you can get consistently heavy swell for days and even weeks on end. Cold weather also serves well to thin out the herd.
All in all though, happiness is perspective. I had a blast surfing in summer time when I was young and I'm glad I saw it that way. Lots of good memories. So enjoy it for as long as you can.
During the summer and early fall here in VB, I can squeeze in 3 sessions a day if I'm so inclined. No wet suits to deal with. Often the surf isn't much, but getting out on the water at noontime for an hour is much better than eating lunch at one's desk. I work for the Navy at Dam Neck, which is right on the water (lucky guy). On more than a few occasions I've had to sneak back to the office and get to a meeting with a wet beard, no socks, and sand still on my feet. I'm 58, should/do know better, and sometimes feel like a kid sneaking into class. Those early morning sessions with glassy conditions and offshore breezes before going to work are often the best time of the day during the summer.
Summah. No question. Tail is advertising itself everywhere. All the fish markets are open and I can eat pounds per day. Rip the Carver day and night and then some more. If there's no swell at the home break then drive a few hours to Rhodey to catch a solid S swell or save pennies to get on a plane. I truly think there's no way we are going hitless two summahs in a row with canes. Expect big things in 2014. So, so much tail in the summah. Tail everywhere. Even for you wedded folk, tail all around is good for the bloodstream, eyesight and your general health.

Design Lecture Series presents Paul Elliman
Sirens Taken for Wonders
London-based designer/artist Paul Elliman on the emergency evacuation procedure for a UT lecture hall and a brief history of sirens.
Paul Elliman is known for his work with a found typography of objects and industrial debris. He also follows the human voice through many of its social and technological guises, often imitating other languages and sounds of the city. For the New York biennial Performa 09, his project Sirens Taken for Wonders involved a live radio panel discussion on the coded language of emergency vehicle sirens, along with several guided siren-walks through parts of Manhattan. During 2010, he contributed a series of whistled versions of bird-song transcriptions by the composer Olivier Messiaen for the show We Were Exuberant and Still Had Hope at Marres Centre for Contemporary Culture, Maastricht. His work was part of the exhibition Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language curated by Laura Hoptman at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Elliman is also visiting critic at Yale School of Art, New Haven, where he has taught since 1997, and thesis supervisor for the Werkplaats Typografie, an international graduate programme in Arnhem, Netherlands.

Did you know?
The Bakgatla people originally came from Botswana, but settled in the Pilanesberg mountains in the 1700s under the leadership of Chief Kgosi Mogali, where they practised indigenous farming for centuries.
History and culture tours are not only for history buffs, but for anyone with a keen yearning to know more about South Africa's interesting past.
Why not start at the very beginning with a visit to the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site where the famous skull of Mrs Ples was found.
From there make your way to the Mphebatho Museum in Soulspoort (on the border of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve) and find out more about the Bakgatla-ba-Kgafela traditions.
History and culture pre- and post-tours in Limpopo province may include a visit to the famous Modjadji Cycad Reserve – where you will hear all about the legendary Rain Queen of Lobedu. For something a little different make your way to Thohoyandou where the Venda people live and investigate local traditions such as the domba (snake) dance and the myths and legends of Lake Fundudzi and the Vondo Forest (both sacred sites).
KwaZulu-Natal is the heart of the Zulu Kingdom, and guided tours offer insights into Zulu culture. The province is also home to the largest Indian population outside of India, so visit Grey Street in Durban and learn about the local Indian community. Make sure you try out the famous Durban 'bunny chow' while you're at it.
History and culture activities in the Northern Cape will expose visitors to ancient San culture and traditions, and the various aspects of Basotho culture are worth exploring when visiting the Free State province. The Basotho Cultural Village in the Eastern Free State is one of the finest cultural villages in the country.
The Eastern Cape is the heart of Xhosa culture and this province is known for its struggle history – which is not surprising as Nelson Mandela was born here. The Western Cape offers a wealth of opportunity for history and culture lovers – visit the Castle of Good Hope, Robben Island, the District Six Museum or the Bo-Kaap Museum… and that's just on day one.
History and culture tours offer so much for the traveller seeking a deeper insight into modern-day South Africa and may well inspire your next business gathering.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's basketball team (6-11, 0-7 SSC) dropped a road Sunshine State Conference contest to the Nova Southeastern Sharks (11-5, 4-3 SSC), 74-45, Saturday afternoon from the Don Taft University Center.
Despite holding a lead late in the first half, the Lions could not overcome a 23-0 first period run and four double-digit scorers as the Sharks closed with a double figure win.
Chelsea Williams and Shalisa Hill each posted double-digit afternoon's as they finished with 13 and 10 points, respectively. Keishara Green led the Green and Gold with five rebounds.
Hill was dominant for the Lions in the early portions of the SSC contest as she connected on a pair of three's en route to a 10-point first half. In fact, the Lions, thanks to a Sarah Winans three-pointer, held a 22-19 lead with 7:27 to play in the opening period. However, it was Danielle Robinson's precision shooting and stout Sharks' defense that kept the Lions offense at a standstill over the remaining moments of the half. During the final seven minutes, Nova Southeastern went on a 23-0 run, in which Robinson scored nine of the team's points. The run wasn't stopped until a layup by Chelsea Williams with seven seconds to play in the first half as the Sharks closed the period with a 44-24 advantage.
Out of the break, Nova Southeastern continued to shoot and make from the outside as they nearly equaled their seven first half makes. Still, the Lions opened the half by scoring the first three points to trim the lead. However, each Lions' point was answered by a Sharks' run as they sealed the contest with a 12-2 run midway through the second period, closing with a double-digit victory.
Overall, the Lions shot 31 percent (14-for-45) from the floor, while 13 of the Sharks 25 makes came from behind the arc. The Lions were also forced into 27 turnovers, which were turned into 32 Nova SE points.
Saint Leo will return to the Bowman Center on Wednesday, January 25, when they host Sunshine State Conference opponent Barry University. Tip–off for the game is set for 5:30 p.m.
