15 Jan 2013 Seattle Photoshop Meeting with Colin Smith
It all started with an email from a User Group Manager frantically looking for a last minute speaker. As a Community Manager, sometimes I can help, sometimes I cannot. But this time, I was able to go the extra mile in trying to help this User Group….We originally just intended to do just an Adobe Connect Webinar; but then I thought, wouldn't it be great to bring a live speaker to Seattle? We have never done been able to do this with one of the Creative Suite User Groups on such short notice. And so fortunately, after a few phonecalls, I was able to find an Adobe Community Professional Speaker (ACP): Colin Smith from PhotoshopCAFE.com. Howard Heflin who runs the Seattle Photoshop User Group (SeaPUG) was thrilled! Now, the SeattlePUG originally started in 2008; and, it is one of the larger Photoshop User Groups in the Adobe Group's Program. Initially, we had over 200 RSVP'd and over 81 on the waiting list for Colin's visit. We were fortunate to pack the place with over 160 attendees. I usually start off a session by asking a few questions about product usage; 50% were using Photoshop CS5; 50% were using Photoshop CS6; not too many Creative Cloud Users; lots of Lightroom Users, including some newbies who came just for this meeting. All in All, this was a heavy photographer focused User Group.
After the marketing stuff by some Adobe guy, Colin got right into the Lightroom and started his Demo. Colin generally does not cover the demos or content material from his many videos, instead he focuses on new discoveries and questions he's come across with the products…. Like, I did not know that there was an xml-based file associated with a Lightroom image and the adjustments made to it. This XML file can actually be opened in Dreamweaver. And Colin, did just that, by opening the XML file and changing the lighting/Color adjustments from text in the XML file. Pretty Nifty and something new. Colin is so patient as a presenter. Now, discussion did get bogged down a bit on "Photoshop/Photo file–Meta Data", there was a lot of interest in this subject, but as Colin answered a few of the immediate questions, he then pointed to his Lightroom 4 DVD that pretty much covers all the basics, and then got back on track. Colin then move onto more "juicier" topics, like "What is "High Dynamic Range – HDR Photography?. Lots of folks, really didn't know, so Colin did a short explanation on how today's cameras are limited in the amount of "details" that can be picked up in a photo, less than what the human eye would normally see. He also went over some of the new features in Photoshop CS6 which allows for the combining of "bracketed" exposures of a subject into one singular image with higher dynamic range (Colin was flipping back and forth between Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 to make his point). Very cool part of the presentation and seemed to hold the interest of some of the newbies.
All in All, there was definitely audience interest in having more topics on Lightroom at the SeattlePUG. The audience was appreciative of having a high quality speaker come to present at their group. The Adobe Community Team often tries to bring Adobe Community Professionals to the User Groups (when feasible) to:
Seattle will be hosting another ACP – Stephen Burns of Chromeallusion.com on March 19th at the Adobe Offices. This will again be another GREAT! user group meeting, brought to you by the Adobe Community Team.
"Creating Your Own Uniqueness" — March 19, 2013 Workshop by Stephen Burns
Lastly, while I was at the meeting I got to meet the Adobe sponsor for the Seattle Photoshop User Group, John Cornicello and thanked him for volunteering and helping out this user group. One of the hardest things for a User Group going is finding a venue in which to meet at consistently.

16 Jan 2013 – Dinner with Seattle Area Adobe User Group Managers
While in Seattle, I took the opportunity to gather up the local area Adobe User Group managers in order to talk to them about the upcoming #CreateNOW tour being sponsored by Adobe. The CreateNOW tour was fast approaching and we needed to speed up the logistics and planning for the event. More importantly, we needed to decide on a venue for the next big event. It is not often the Adobe Community Team gets around to the user groups; and, we are trying to do more of this when it is practical and makes business sense. The Seattle Adobe User Group will be holding their #CreateNOW tour on March 9th; I am looking forward to attending that event to see what they can do.

Jesus Christos
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Jesus Christos (Iesu Christi) is an extinct mammal in the Deity family, native to the arid deserts of Judea. Only one Jesus Christos is known to have ever lived, and it became extinct around 2000 years ago due to human poaching. The study of this animal is known as Christianity.
edit Description
The Jesus Christos is similar in appearance to Mel Gibson although he is not as antisemitic. It usually dresses like a prostitute and wears a swastika on his head. His bones and legs were capable of walking long distances - even on water. Biologists argue about the pigmentation of its skin, with some claiming it to be white, while others suggest a darker tone - in line with other species from his native habitat. It is also known to have remarkable abs and has been described as having a "swimmer's bod."
edit Habitat & Diet
The Jesus Christos prefers a desert climate and is quite adept at foraging for food there. It enjoys red wine and has the ability to transform water into wine when necessary. Its slow metabolism is able to efficiently process a loaf of bread so that it provides 50 times as much energy as it would to a human. Jesus Christos is known to have inhabited what is modern-day Israel as well as portions of Jordan and the Sinai peninsula. It is also rumoured to have traveled to Japan in its old age. Lake Galilee was its primary water source. It is an omnivore and has a particular taste for sheep.
A small group of believers also contend that it appeared on the North American continent after it died in ancient Jerusalem. This group is known as Mormons.
edit Behavior
Jesus Christos is unique in that it alternates between being a solitary and a group animal. It can spend weeks alone in the desert but also enjoys traveling with a multitude of companions. It is nomadic in nature, rarely staying in the same area for long. It is very peaceful in nature although can get quite violent when angered, especially if money-changers encroach on its territory. If attacked first, however, it will feign death and turn the other cheek. When asleep it is not easily roused; one anecdote mentions a Jesus Christos sleeping through a fierce storm at sea.
edit Reproduction
The Jesus Christos, being a member of the Deity family, has a sophisticated life cycle consisting of three stages: God, Man, and Spirit. In the first stage, it exists as the eternal and omnipotent creator of the world. In adulthood, the Word becomes flesh and lives among us on Earth. This stage lasts about thirty three years, at which time Jesus Christos turns into a Holy Spirit.
Some evolutionary biologists theorize that eventually the Spirit transforms back into Man (in a process called rapture) and returns to Earth. This theory was first promulgated by the ancient biologist John in his treatise entitled "Revelation."
- The transformation of God into Man takes place through impregnation.
- The transformation of Man into Spirit takes place through crucifixion.
- It is debated whether the Spirit will turn into God via magic or back into Man by rapture.
edit Keeping as pets
Jesus Christos is a highly intelligent animal and may be kept as a pet, but as with other primates, it must be given constant attention. Its calm demeanour makes it suitable for play with children.
There are some health concerns regarding Jesus Christos that prospective owners must be aware of:
- In its Spirit form, the parasitic animal can infest women and cause unwanted pregnancy.
- It can be distinguished from a normal pregnancy by the fact that it requires no sexual intercourse.
- When it has reached sexual maturity Jesus Christos must be separated from any form of sheep. The offspring of such a union (commonly referred to as "sheople") frequently exhibit symptoms of intellectual disability. No physical contact is required for Jesus Christos to copulate with ewes.
For clarity, the intermediate parasitic form between God and Man is not shown.

bradley - Saturday, August 27, 2005 - linkIt' about time. Reply
ksherman - Friday, August 26, 2005 - linkI do have to say that the idea of the n chip voltage control is VERY exciting, especially for mobile processors... mabye AMD will put it on-die... Reply
johnsonx - Friday, August 26, 2005 - link"but you do get some significant performance benefits from moving the GMCH on chip"
Why? If it's just the same Pentium-M communicating over the same FSB to the same GMCH, why does putting it on the same package help performance more than a little bit? I can see maybe tightening some bus timings a little, but nothing significant.
That said, I do certainly agree this idea is a good one for small form-factor devices that still need substantial CPU power.
joex444 - Friday, August 26, 2005 - linkIsn't Intel the company that changes a slight bit of a CPU, calls it a new revision and requires a new chipset, which means new motherboard? Why would they take away from their own MB sales by putting the NB on chip?
UltraWide - Friday, August 26, 2005 - linkDoes this mean we will no longer need monster heatpipe 5LB heatsinks and 12,000rpm Delta fans??? Reply
joex444 - Friday, August 26, 2005 - linkI have no idea why you would come to that conclusion. With many of the NB chips needing active cooling and graphics cores putting out some heat (even the Intel ones do that, to a lesser extent than Nvidia or ATIs), and voltage regulators also putting out some heat, I'd think we would need to use the same heatsinks, because Intel's CPUs are supposed to produce less heat, but with all this extra crap on the PCB, it should equal out, give or take. Perhaps if Intel is able to ramp up the speed of their uber next-gen uarch then the heat will be somewhat similar to today's CPUs (but a lot more performance), and the NB, Gfx, VR will make it more heat productive than today, so even bigger HSFs. Reply
bupkus - Friday, August 26, 2005 - linkAs I look at the graph of both Coarse Grain Power Management and Fine GPM it seems pretty clear this is an exercise in reducing the "red" or saving power. If a cpu is just doing email it can run like a single core whatever. If not it can fire itself up for more power. Reply
Larso - Friday, August 26, 2005 - linkThe only way I can make any sense out of the graphs, is if it's actually the cpu frequency that's scaling, hence the need for changing the voltage. Some kind of speedstep with faster transisions?
On the other hand, if the frequency is constant, the voltage is also constant and power consumption is determined by current draw. This is what a voltage regulator do by the way, it keeps the voltage constant regardless of current draw.
Perhaps the point they are trying to make is that voltage regulation is more effecient now that it is on chip. But in that case the graphs are completely bogus.
sprockkets - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkWith that much integration you can pretty much forget putting your own processor in the mb; it looks more like it has to be preinstalled.
Didn't VIA show something like that to begin with? Their processor and NB on one package for a mini-ITX board? Reply
Rock Hydra - Friday, August 26, 2005 - linkI don't see why you would. AMD doesn't need to have it integrated, so neither does Intel, I would assume. Also I'm thinking this would bring down motherboard prices, but I'm thinking CPU prices are going to be high as a result. Reply
Doormat - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkIIRC, the original design for what became the Pentium M was known as the "Timna". It was designed to integrate the northbridge onto the CPU (including a Rambus memory controller). The project was canned, and the project got rolled over into Banias. Now here we are in 2005 and we are almost back to where we started. The northbridge in the same packaging as the CPU. The next logical step is to, of course, put the entire NB into the same die as the CPU - which might be quite possible by 45nm. Reply
bupkus - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkFirst abandoning low-end chipsets and now simplifying motherboard design. What do these two events tell you if anything?
Will this reap power consumption benefits for laptops? Cheaper, smaller, cooler desktop designs for the office? Also, see "Latest News" on "Vista's answer to PC power woes."
gimpsoft - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkwonder if lower motherboard's complexity.
lower motherboard prices just like AMD boards
anyone see the article intel is going after sony and M$ for control of living room
hahaha funny how by moding and XBOX you can have a $150 media center PC and by Novenber $99
just intel chips alone cost that much not including motherboard HD case next gen PS3 and xbox 360 can play back HD no problem for $300 + mod chip if you want extra functions
let not forget DRM Reply
8NP4iN - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkwassup with intel, suddently they are coming with all thins great stuff
look at the buzz theyr generating... AMD better have something under theyr sleeves or theyll go back to losing money business again...they had theyr chance, 3 years being the top performer and only managed to take the a bit of the server market, but still in desktop market people dont know how much theyr superior to P4... its amazing how manny people still are in the mhz thing and people who think ExtremeEdition is the shit... im sad lol, we are so few!
PrinceGaz - Tuesday, August 30, 2005 - linkI'm sure most normal people would be more than happy with an Intel Extreme Edition processor in their computer, assuming they could afford it. And if it was paired up with Intel Extreme Graphics, then they could be happy believing in the fantasy that they have the most powerful PC available. Until they tried to play a game, that is :) Reply
KristopherKubicki - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkThey consolidated a lot of their loser projects like a year ago - I am not surprised they have interesting stuff now.
Kristopher Reply
Brian23 - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkwhats up with all the fuzzy logic? (pun intended)
couldn't you get a decent cammera? Reply
TrogdorJW - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkThere's a difference between having a decent camera and getting a decent photo in a dark conference hall at a distance of 100 feet or more. Some slides are only up for a few seconds, so if you take a shot and it turns out blurry, you don't get a second chance. Photoshop can only clean up a poor quality shot so much, unfortunately. Reply
PrinceGaz - Tuesday, August 30, 2005 - link"Some slides are only up for a few seconds, so if you take a shot and it turns out blurry, you don't get a second chance"
That's why I always use continuous shooting mode. Whenever I take a photo, I really take about five over a couple of seconds, then decide which is best later. Still, better to have these blurry photos than none at all. Reply
Leper Messiah - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkAnyone reminded of the PCs on a chip movement of the early ninetes? Do we finally have enough technology to do this.
Intel's thingy (for lack of a better word) is interesting, but its just a bunch of dies together on one pice of PCB. Going to be one hell of a dense PGA too with the extra data needed by the GPU (crappy as it is). For notebook and other small PCs, its cool, but for desktops, eh... Reply
erinlegault - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkI agree, the overall complexity of the PCB (which will have a lot more layers than the current 6 or 4 norm) will definately be cost prohibitive. Like you said notebooks, tablets, PDA/Blackberry's next iteration, cell phones, etc. will definately improve.
The on die graphics and northbridge would also be welcome. I have a feeling ATI is working on such a project. Imageon is just the start, eventhough it is geared for cell phones. Reply
4AcesIII - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkThat's all we need ATI doing this too, they gonna make cpu's now too? They can't even put out a decent driver for their hardware how are they going to SUCESSFULLY combine all these things onto one pcb? What could be worse than Intel trying this you say, well our friend here has pointed out what that could be. Reply
Cybercat - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkNomatter how close Intel moves the graphics chipset to the CPU, it will still perform like crap. Not like they care. They're making a killing off of them anyhow. Reply
brownba - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkthey don't care because graphics performance doesn't matter for business Office users Reply
othercents - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkTypically motherboards allow you to up the voltage given to the processor. By adding the Voltage regulator to the processor you no longer have the option to up the voltage. Which will keep you from being able to overlock the processor. This sounds like a great idea for Business machines, but I'm not sure if the the on die voltage regulator is going to help enough on heat to take away the ability to overclock the processor.

4AcesIII - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkDo these Anand folks understand that recent theory on focus? What's up with the pictures you can't see a thing, what did they do take a trip with their webcams? It's about as impressive as this crock that intel is putting forth, what if I don't want a freakin graphics core on the die or anything close to it. Why make me pay for what has historically been CRAP video when it will never be used, just like this viva junk, MCE isn't a good thing in my opinion and I'm not going to buy some processor that FORCES me to use a crippled OS.

kmmatney - Friday, August 26, 2005 - linkwhine, whine, whine... Reply
joex444 - Friday, August 26, 2005 - linkit would be whining if there wasn't an alternative cpu to purchase... Reply
Furen - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkBah, it's not even on die, they're just packaging it together. I wonder if there are any significant improvements on performance, though I do understand it will lower motherboard's complexity. Reply
Ged - Saturday, August 27, 2005 - link
Bah, it's not even on die, they're just packaging it together. I wonder if there are any significant improvements on performance, though I do understand it will lower motherboard's complexity.
Yeah. Are they making all the components with the same process? or is it a 110nm voltage regulator, 90 nm northbridge and a 65nm cpu?
It's really not "on-chip", more like "on chip module".
the voltage regulator looks very nice. I like that. I guess the question is will they get the same performance as if it were really "on-chip"? Reply
TrogdorJW - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkOn package generally means it will run at package speed (rather than bus speed). There would be a noticeable performance boost by going from a 400 MHz memory controller to a 2.0+ GHz memory controller. Hell, even Intel's GMA9x0 graphics could be pretty impressive if they were run at 2.0 GHz. Finally, putting everything on package can be seen as the first step towards moving on-chip. L2 cache with Pentium Pro, anyone? Reply
stevty2889 - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkI think the main reason for their doing this is for even more power savings on a laptop. Battery life can big a big concern for a lot of laptop users. I would never buy a laptop with intel graphics, but there are plenty of people who don't need more than that. Reply
brownba - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkregardless if there's any performance improvements,
having the northbridge, graphics, and cpu on one package
will be great for embedded systems, laptops, etc.
Speedo - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkWell, closer is always better, from an electrical view. Also, you saw the graphs from that voltage regulator in action.
// Frank Reply
Larso - Friday, August 26, 2005 - linkYeah pretty graphs, but far from the truth IMO. Look at the current technology power management, how can delivered power ramp up before user demand? Speculative power management? I think not. Reply
Speedo - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - linkThere could be a way for the mobo makers to control the voltage regulator.
Anyway, these improvements from Intel is interesting. I hope AMD has something similar going on...

A LAW firm is helping scouts to be prepared for the great outdoors with a cash boost towards new camping gear.
Yeovil-based Battens Solicitors, through its charitable trust, has donated £775 to the 3rd Sparkford Scouts for its appeal to raise £3,280 for dining tents for each patrol and group mess shelters, to replace outdated equipment and keep its young members dry.
Katherine Gilmour, a senior associate solicitor in Battens company commercial department, handed over the contribution to group scout leader Rob Butcher and scout leader Kevin Davies at the village hall in Sparkford, near Yeovil.
Rob said: "This superb contribution from Battens Charitable Trust moves our appeal on so much further.
"It will help give our beavers, cubs and scouts real opportunities to develop confidence, gain greater independence and learn new skills when they go camping.
"We all are very grateful to Battens Charitable Trust for such fabulous support."
The group, which has 58 beavers, cubs and scouts aged six to 14, applied to the Battens Charitable Trust to help it take its boys and girls camping more often.
The £775 contribution will buy two dining shelters at £385 each, a mess tent extension at £540 or go a long towards a mess tent at £1,200.
Members of the group, who come from Sparkford and the surrounding villages, have also been raising funds through their own activities, such as packing bags at supermarkets.
Young leader Joe Rawlings, 16, said: "We all enjoy going camping and new equipment will help make it even better for everyone."
The group also contributes to the community by helping in such local projects as clearing paths and assisting with church grounds.
Katherine said: "We chose the 3rd Sparkford group as they are a really deserving cause.
"They help out the local community so we decided to give something back to help them and wish them all the best with the rest of their fundraising."
Battens Solicitors set up the charitable trust in 1985 to support community initiatives, local charities and other causes.

WINTER PARK, Fla. - The Peach Belt Conference and Sunshine State Conference are teaming up for the PBC-SSC Softball Challenge. The event will be hosted February 1-3, 2013, at the South Commons Softball Complex in Columbus, Ga. The venue hosted softball during the 1996 Summer Olympic Games.
The PBC-SSC Softball Challenge will feature four teams from each league and will kick off the opening weekend of the NCAA Division II softball season. The PBC teams participating in the 2013 event will be Armstrong Atlantic, North Georgia, Columbus State, and UNC Pembroke. Representing the SSC will be Florida Southern, Florida Tech, Lynn, and Saint Leo.
The event will be hosted by the Sports Council of Columbus (Ga.).
Saint Leo's full list of opponents, as well as time of the games, will be announced at a later date.
In creating the Challenge, PBC Commissioner Dave Brunk and SSC Commissioner Jay Jones had two goals: to provide a unique experience for student-athletes and to provide an opportunity for each league's softball teams to play in-region contests. Each participating team will play four games.
"I think this challenge event is a great chance to highlight two of the top softball conferences in the country and to kick off the season with a unique event that should be a great experience for our student-athletes and fans," Jones said. "We are very excited."
The event will kick off with a welcome banquet on Friday, Feb. 1. Games will then be played Saturday, Feb. 2 and Sunday, Feb. 3.
South Commons Softball Complex is an eight-field complex that includes a five-field hub with a central "roundhouse" featuring indoor score booths, concessions, and restrooms. In addition to hosting the 1996 Olympic softball competition, the facility has also hosted the Southeastern Conference baseball championship.
"This challenge is a great opportunity to showcase some of the best softball in Division II," said Brunk. "The Peach Belt and Sunshine State Conference have consistently fielded some of the highest-caliber teams in the nation, so it seems natural to bring them together at one of the premier facilities for this event. It would not have been possible without the support of Commissioner Jones and the Columbus Sports Council, and I am looking forward to establishing a tradition we can continue for years to come."

Shravanabelagola - where faith and grace converge
Yahoo Lifestyle•
Nestled amidst two hills, Vindhyagiri and Chandragiri, is the picturesque town of Shravanabelagola. It has been one of the prime pilgrimage destinations in Jainism for more than 2,000 years. The statue of Gomateshwara or Bahubali is the main attraction. Carved elegantly, it is one of the architectural marvels of the world and happens to be the world's largest monolithic sculpture. Shravanabelagola also enshrines a number of Jain temples (called Bastis or Basadis). This destination is situated about 50 km south-east of Channarayapatna in Hassan district of Karnataka State.

I finally decided to cook some BCCs and ribs this weekend, so today were the BCCs. My wife asked if we could pick up something to inject in the chicken breasts to add some flavor. We needed to go to the grocery store because I decided we were going to have some of that "blue cheese and bacon cole slaw" and figured we could look in the spice aisle. I'm not a bit "white meat" eater, but since my wife was asking.... We picked up one of the Weber mixes
I mixed them up and injected in the breasts of both of the chickens, each of which weighed around 5 pounds or so. Here is chicken #1:
and here is chicken #2:
Here are the green beans while they are cooking in EVOO and some pressed garlic:
I also fixed the blue cheese cole slaw. My wife commented that the blue cheese was a bit "heavy" last time, so I cut the amount in half. She was a happy camper. She also liked the flavor in the chicken breasts with the injection.
Sorry, no finished product pictures because I was awfully hungry by that time. I'll try to do better tomorrow with the ribs and corn.

This room is set up as a typical quarters for a workman at the Fort, such as a carpenter or blacksmith. Their sleep mat might be on the floor instead of a bed frame, pretty sparse furnishings.
Johann Sutter kept his quarters close to the arms room. He wanted to be able to act quickly to organize & lead defenses if the Fort were attacked.
This is a view of the SE Bastion from inside the Fort's courtyard.
Sutter's Fort contained cannon, it was a military outpost as well as a self contained community.
There was a school group preparing for an overnight camp at Sutter's Fort while we visited. A couple of the fathers were roasting some meat for dinner.
Some of the parents and teachers were preparing to bake in a replica outdoor oven, such as was used at Sutter's Fort during the mid 1800's.
This is Mom and our friend, Pam, outside Sutter's Fort in Sacramento.
Mom and I are posing with one of the adults in period garb - a school group was preparing to stay overnight and everyone, kids - parents and teachers had to dress and act appropriatly for the period.
These kids are playing the roles of Mexican Soldiers, American Immigrants or Native American's for their overnight stay at the Fort.
This is the main gate into Sutter's Fort from inside the courtyard.
Johann Sutter tried to make his fort a completely self sufficient community. To that end, he had a blacksmith shop as well as several other enterprises.
I liked seeing this set up as it would have been in the 1800's. They probably actually grind flour on this as part of their reenactments.
This is a farm wagon, which was also often used by pioneers who crossed the west in search of land. Sutter advertised and encouraged settlers to move west and welcomed and assisted them upon their arrival.
A Cooper makes barrels, which were used to store things, ship things and sometimes make things (such as the butter churns in the foreground).
This is right outside of Sutter's Fort. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside.

A9 TV, 17 April 2012
When we think with a healthy brain and rational mind, we realize we are in a metaphysical environment, and that a really, really wondrous mind enfolds all places. We see that it rules everywhere. We see this when we look rationally and sincerely, without forcing ourselves. The interior of the cell is more complex than New York. I am not exaggerating, it is more complex than New York. It much more highly detailed, just the inside of a cell. People should be speechless and prostrate themselves to Allah. But Allah has created it like that as a miracle. Some people say, "I believe in Darwinism," and others do all kinds of things. This happens as a miracle. Allah creates it as a reflection of the way of the Mahdi. Because the way of the Mahdi has to have an antichrist. Allah has created such a way of the antichrist. But a very primitive and illogical one.
Encountering difficulties enhances one's merit. Otherwise, you would be like a fish in an aquarium. You will inevitably encounter them. And you will always find your way, insha'Allah.
Almighty Allah says,
Surah Muhammad, verse 32
"Those who are unbelievers and obstruct the Way of Allah," this also points to the curs of the alleged terror organization Ergenekon. "and are entrenched in hostility towards the Messenger after the guidance has become clear to them," even though they are convinced of the truth of the Qur'an, they oppose the Messenger of Allah (saas), the Mahdi of his time. "do not harm Allah in any way," these dogs have never been able to harm him in any way it. "He [Allah] makes their actions come to nothing."
Allah has thwarted all their plans, and they have striven in vain. They foolishly imagined they could martyr and murder 3 million Muslims. They planned to annihilate Muslims. They wanted to produce a new, atheist generation. They were going to tear down the mosques. But Allah thwarted them, and bestowed plenty and beauty on patriots.
Verse 33
"You who believe! obey Allah," obey the Qur'an, Allah says. "and obey the Messenger." Do whatever the Prophet (saas) says. "Do not make your actions of no worth." If you do not do this, says Allah, you will have labored in vain. Whether you labored or whether you built a factory, all your endeavors were in vain.
Verse 34
"Those who are unbelievers and obstruct the Way of Allah," they deny Allah'. Darwinists and materialists. They should open up Qur'anic classes, but they don't. They should remember Allah, but they don't. They should say that Allah is One, but they don't. "and then die unbelievers, Allah will not forgive them."
Verse 35
"Do not become faint-hearted and call for peace when you are uppermost," You cannot say, "Let's separate these people and give journalists immunity." That is no good. Allah says "Do not become faint-hearted." Patriots – people who love Turkey, and Ataturk, and the republic, and the country and the nation and the flag, who love Turkish-Islamic Union and Islamic Unity. Enemies of the land and the nation will be defeated. "Allah is with you – He would never cheat you of your deeds."
Allah says, I will help you. And you do what is necessary.
Verse 36
"The life of this world is merely a game and a diversion." A game, there is no end to it. People occupy themselves with business, and school and marriage. "If you have faith and fear of Allah," if you obey Allah. "He will pay you your wages and not ask you for all your wealth." He says you will be wealthier and better.
Verse 37
"If He did ask you for it and put you under pressure, you would be tight-fisted and it would bring out your malevolence." Allah says people show their true natures under pressure. Their behavior may not be too good when called on to make sacrifices. That is the test. People ask why there is a test. For that reason. When Allah asks them to give one part, they give it. But when He demands it all, they go pale in the face. Whereas a believer should say, "As You wish, O Lord," shouldn't He? Allah says that improprieties emerge in this way. If we were to go to paradise at once, then there would be no need for the test, He says.
Verse 38
"Here you are then;" Allah reminds us of human nature. "people who are called upon to spend in the Way of Allah and then some of you are tight-fisted! But whoever is tight-fisted is only tight-fisted to himself. Allah is Rich and you are poor."
So people who say they are rich are lying. Everyone is poor. "If you turn away, He will replace you with a people other than yourselves," if you do wrong, I will bring in another people, He says. "and they will not be like you." They will not resemble you. They will be better and higher quality, Allah says. Allah says there is no need to ask what would happen without us. I will immediately bring someone else in, he says.
Verse 24
"Will they not then ponder the Qur'an or are there locks upon their hearts?"
What is the bigots' problem? There are locks upon their hearts. "Will they not then ponder the Qur'an?" Allah does not say, "Will they not reflect well?" What does He say? He speaks of the Qur'an. He does not speak about the bigots' nonsense or fabrications. What are we to think about? The Qur'an alone. Do we need to think about anything else?.
Verse 25
"Those who have turned back in their tracks after the guidance became clear to them," you talk about the invalidity of Darwinism they see the structure of protein, the marvels of Allah, the miracles of the Qur'an and everything else. "after the guidance became clear to them, it was satan who talked them into it and filled them with false hopes."
Allah says they have been distracted with empty endeavors. There are people like that. They see and have faith, but become distracted.
Verse 26
"That is because they said to those who hate what Allah has sent down," the irreligious and the atheists. "We will obey you in part of the affair," they say they will live as part-Muslims and part-irreligious people. "Let us come to an agreement with you," they say. That is what the hypocrites do. "But Allah knows their secrets."
There are people who secretly abandon Muslims and collaborate with the irreligious. Allah is indicating these people.
Verse 27
"How will it be when the angels take them in death, beating their faces and their backs?" When people die, they realize they will go to paradise or hell. If their souls are taken gently, it means they are bound for paradise. But angels may also take their souls by beating them about the head and face, and angels are invisible. It is impossible for people to see them because they have passed on to another dimension. Only images are shown to the people who remain. It is impossible for people to know them, because they have passed on from the third dimension to the fourth.
The way of the Mahdi is a school of love. The Mahdi will teach people love.2012-05-11 11:49:44

Well I just read Steve's first newsletter and was drawn to the barbequed corn. So I rushed out and got a half-dozen ears and prepared dinner for my wife. After going through the recipes included in the newsletter, my favorite was the Indian and wife's was the Japanese.
We experimented further however and our hands down favorite was putting plain old Dinosaur Slathering Sauce on the ears. Deelicious!
So, What are your favorite toppings out there?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/3/2013 (1617 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When Cheryl Sinclair married her high school sweetheart in 1985, she walked down the church aisle in a long white gown with five attendants.
There had been a "big-hall shower" and a social. More than 200 guests attended the wedding reception, which was largely planned by her parents, who even chose the menu.
"I think my parents had more of their friends at the wedding than we did," recalls the Winnipegger, who was 20 at the time. She divorced in 1997.
Sinclair, now 47 with two grown kids, recently got engaged to her partner of three years, with whom she already owns a home.
Where her first wedding was "more of a show," she says, this one will be "completely different" -- as in a backyard gathering with fewer than 50 guests. Or maybe even a trip to an Elvis wedding chapel in Las Vegas.
And that suits her betrothed, who has never been married, just fine. "It's an important event, sure, but a wedding is just one small part of a marriage," says Sheldon Root, 44.
Perhaps, but that small part can pose big etiquette questions when the bride, groom, or both have been married at least once before.
Should second-time brides wear white? Who pays for the wedding? Do you invite the exes, the former in-laws? Is it tacky for repeaters to have a gift registry? (When two become one in this case, they often need to purge possessions, not accumulate more.) If there are kids, should they be involved?
Remarrying is what the English writer Samuel Johnson described as "the triumph of hope over experience."
And given that approximately 43 per cent of first marriages end in divorce, and that more than half of divorced Canadians end up repartnering, according to Statistics Canada, there's no shortage of hopeful people willing to get back on the connubial horse.
About 60 per cent of his business is encore weddings, says Winnipeg marriage commissioner Henry McDonald -- a.k.a. The Marrying Man.
His clientele "used to be all what seemed like young kids," he says, and now most of them are in their 40s and 50s.
"I've married people who have been married five times, but who's counting? I tell them they're my repeat business," says McDonald. "I always ask them, 'You've been around the racetrack before. Are you sure you want to do this? If it's what you want, we're good to go.'"
Less than one per cent of the population will marry more than twice, according to StatsCan, but around 10 per cent will tie the knot a second time (at around age 39, on average).
Norma Dawson, who, along with her husband, Bruce, has been performing marriages in Manitoba since 1989, says that up to 80 per cent of their business is now encore weddings. (In 1996, their peak year, they married 500 couples.)
Although Bruce did officiate weddings for the same bride three different times, most people are second-timers, she says, and they usually opt for a more intimate, scaled-down celebration.
Dawson says few "mature" brides opt for the "big frou-frou gown."
"They're typically more into the blue-suit kind of routine when they're older," she says, "but you will find 40-year-olds who will put on a white cocktail dress."
Fancy restaurants are a common reception venue, Dawson says, as is the Assinboine Park Conservatory or the Leo Mol sculpture garden. Second-wedding guests lists also tend to be shorter: "They only invite close friends and family, not second cousins."
Tina Dubois, 40, says she and her fiancé, who is also on his second marriage, opted for a destination wedding to bypass the fuss.
"We had all the bells and whistles on our first time -- very stressful and a lot of trouble," says Dubois, who married for the first time at age 21. "I was so busy trying to make everything perfect that I personally did not enjoy the day at all."
Melanie Reimer echoes the sentiment.
"I don't want to be a full-on bride this time," says the 37-year-old Winnipegger, who will wed Sebastian Luque, 43, in June at a llama farm near Selkirk, before about 50 guests -- 18 of whom will be children.
Reimer, who was 23 at her first wedding, says she's not sweating the details as much this time. No fancy gown, no attendants.
"I've been so much more relaxed and flying by the seat of my pants a little bit," she says. "It's less about the etiquette and more about standing in front of the man I love and promising to spend my life with him."
They're doing the wedding mostly for her daughters, nine and seven, Reimer says. "We're already living together, but I wanted my kids to have an understanding that there's a serious commitment here."
Winnipeg marriage commissioner Sherri Rehill says many encore couples choose to write their own vows, or will request a personalized ceremony, especially if there are children involved.
"They want a ceremony that's about them and not just something that's 'Insert name here,'" Rehill says. "Quite often, couples will want it to be more a marriage of the family rather than just between the couple, and children will be included in the ceremony."
She recalls one groom who, after exchanging vows with his bride, presented his eight-year-old stepdaughter with three rings, to represent the members of their new family. At her own second wedding, Rehill's stepchildren, who were 12 and 10, served as honourary maid-of-honour and best man and presented her and her husband each with a red rose.
Kathryne Cardwell, 29, would have been happy to elope, but she didn't want to deprive her never-married fiancé of the wedding experience.
She got the full-meal, traditional deal when she walked down the aisle at age 21: hall shower, home shower, spud-and-steak social, stagette, fancy white gown with long veil, 250 guests at the reception dinner and dance.
This time, she's more focused on the marriage than the wedding.
"I wanted to be a princess the first time, and this time, I just want to be with my new husband," says Cardwell. "I'll likely wear a bridal gown, probably off-white, but no veil."
The couple has only begun the planning process, and still haven't set the date, she says, but the wedding will likely be a traditional one, with fewer than 70 guests, and take place in her fiancé's hometown in Ontario.
"Maybe it's because I was raised in a rural farm community, but I think I am a traditional guy," says groom-to-be Charlie McDougall, 41. "To me, weddings are about proclaiming your commitment to each other, your friends and family and your community.
"Maybe if we were both younger and a little more carefree, we'd be dancing up the aisle to LMFAO, but we're going to play it straight and traditional."
Kathryne may be decades too young for the "blue suit" routine of Dawson's mature brides, but she admits she's nervous about breaking any encore-wedding etiquette.
"I am really aware of the fact that I've been married before, and I am wary of doing anything that will look tacky or inappropriate," she says.
"I have heard many, many people make comments about how second-time brides shouldn't have more than two attendants, shouldn't allow anyone to throw them a shower, shouldn't have socials, shouldn't wear a veil, shouldn't have a big party, shouldn't let anyone else contribute to the wedding costs, shouldn't wear white, shouldn't spend more than a certain amount, shouldn't accept gifts, shouldn't be walked down the aisle by their fathers, etc., etc."
Dawson's advice to second-timers who worry about following the list of dos and don'ts is: Don't.
"Don't worry about following the rules," she says. "Enjoy yourself. Just pick a person you like, pick a place and be happy."
Second time around
WHEN the bride, groom or both have been married before, the wedding-planning process can pose some unique etiquette challenges. Here's some conventional encore-wedding wisdom:
-- Notify an ex-spouse: It's common courtesy to pick up the phone and let the ex know as soon as possible after the engagement. Better the news come from you than second-hand. Doing so is particularly important when children are involved.
-- Wear white if you want: The wedding day is supposed to be about what the bride and groom want, and that only. There are no set rules as to what a bride, at any age, should wear as she journeys down the aisle, and the same goes for who she takes those steps with.
-- Include kids in the planning process: They'll be able to warm up to the new family situation over time, versus dealing with it abruptly around the wedding day. They'll also have a chance to speak up about aspects of the ceremony or reception that might make them feel uncomfortable.
-- Enlisting parental support: Couples who are remarrying are usually older, and therefore more financially independent. That said, parents tend to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when their child is getting married and they often want to help out in some way. There is absolutely nothing wrong with accepting their offerings.
-- Gift registries: Guests will want to share the new bride and groom's joy by offering something for them to take with them into this new life. Setting up a registry allows friends and family a chance to give the couple something they'll truly appreciate. Even if a prior marriage for one or both was more recent, a newly engaged couple should never feel guilt over setting up another registry.
-- Gift ideas for encore weddings: personalized keepsakes (books, frames, blankets, photo albums), gift baskets, picture frames, gift certificates (restaurants, spas, stores), donations to charity, espresso maker, pasta maker, cookbooks.
-- Don't: duplicate your first wedding, marry in the same location, use rings from a previous relationship, wear the same dress as your first wedding.

After wild seventh, Astros unable to sweep Halos
Following pitching change controversy, Ambriz allows three runs
HOUSTON -- Angels manager Mike Scioscia argued and pleaded and eventually filed a protest to dispute the way Astros manager Bo Porter was allowed to handle a pitching change in the seventh inning Thursday, but all the fuss proved to be meaningless.
That's because the Angels rallied for three runs in the eighth inning off relief pitcher Hector Ambriz, including a two-run double by Mark Trumbo that tied the game, to come from behind and beat the Astros, 6-5, at Minute Maid Park.
The Angels snapped a four-game losing streak and avoided being swept by the Astros.
"It's always good to win a series, but at the same time, we would have liked to have won tonight's ballgame," Porter said. "We felt like we were in position to win it, but they made a couple of more plays than we did and they walked away with the win."
Matt Dominguez, the sure-handed third baseman who made a career-high three errors in the game, tied a career high with three RBIs, including a two-run, two-out single with the bases loaded in the sixth inning that gave the Astros a 5-3 lead.
Then things got crazy.
With runners at first and third and two outs in the seventh, Porter brought in lefty Wesley Wright to face left-handed hitter J.B. Shuck. Porter then subbed in the right-handed Ambriz before Wright threw a pitch after he saw right-hander Luis Jimenez on deck to pinch-hit.
Rule 3.05 (b) says that a pitcher must face at least one hitter before he can come out of the game, unless he's injured. Wright wasn't injured, and Scioscia argued at length with the umpires before notifying them he was playing the game under protest.
"My contention was that the pitcher who came in had to face one batter," Scioscia said. "That's why I protested it, and we're happy we won."
Porter said he sat in a meeting last year with Nationals manager Davey Johnson that laid out the rule.
"If you have to pinch-hit for that batter, you now have the right to bring in another pitcher," said Porter, who was Washington's third-base coach last season. "Technically, Wesley came in to pitch the batter that was scheduled to hit, but he pinch-hit for the batter that was scheduled to hit -- which, from my understanding of the rule, you can bring in another pitcher to face the pinch-hitter."
Porter said he stopped to talk to the umpires to make sure Jimenez was officially in the game.
"Once I made sure that he pinch-hit for the batter that was scheduled to hit, then I started towards the mound," he said. "The home-plate umpire, he kind of stopped me. He said, 'Whoa, Bo,' and then Scioscia started yelling he has to face a hitter.
"I just calmly explained to him my interpretation of the rule is, 'Yes he has to face hitter, as long as it's the hitter that's scheduled to hit.' The hitter that was scheduled to hit had now been pinch-hit for, which now gives me the right to bring a pitcher to face the pinch-hitter."
Ambriz retired Scott Cousins to end the inning, but he couldn't record an out in the eighth. Brendan Harris singled, Mike Trout and Albert Pujols walked before Trumbo doubled to right field to tie the game. Alberto Callaspo drove in the winning run three batters later with a sacrifice fly on a slick sliding catch on the track by center fielder Brandon Barnes.
"He's been tremendous all year and tonight was definitely uncharacteristic of the success of which he's had in those situations, and it was costly for us tonight," Porter said of Ambriz (0-2).
Houston starter Lucas Harrell got a no-decision, though he left the game with a 3-2 lead. He battled control problems from the start and walked six batters and allowed four hits and two runs (one earned) in five innings of work.
"The first three innings I was pretty bad," Harrell said. "Against a lineup like that, when you only give up two runs, you feel lucky a little bit."
Harrell said he and pitching coach Doug Brocail watched video from last season inside the tunnel after the third inning and discovered a flaw in Harrell's mechanics. Harrell retired six of the final nine batters he faced after the meeting.
"I felt like the last two innings I got back to what I was doing last year, and I think that's the last time you'll see a poor effort out of me where I don't get deep in the game and throw a lot of pitches and walk a lot of guys," Harrell said. "You won't see that anymore."
Second baseman Jose Altuve went 3-for-5 and made a terrific diving stop of a grounder with two outs and the bases loaded in the third to save a run. Jason Castro, Chris Carter, Ronny Cedeno and Dominguez had two hits apiece in Houston's 13-hit attack.

To attend my first Skoll World Forum in the same week as writing a column with the headline "We should stop trying to change the world" may be regarded as imprudent. The Skoll forum on social entrepreneurship, started nine years ago by eBay billionaire Jeff Skoll, probably has a higher quotient of delegates with that precise objective than any other conference on the planet.
What's interesting is that it also has an increasing number of delegates from "big business". There were none at the first forum, according to Pamela Hartigan, director of the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford's Said Business School. Yet she was on her way to lunch with more than 60 on Thursday, which she considers a positive sign. Read more

BRADFORD on Avon pulled in some star quality for their sevens tournament last Sunday, with World Cup winner Lewis Moody donning the club's black and red colours.
Moody, who helped England lift the 2003 tournament in Australia and captained his country in 2011 in New Zealand during a 71-cap international career, retired in 2012 having also played club rugby for Leicester and finally Bath.
The former Leicester and Bath man, 35, who lives in the town, said: "I promised Dave (George, Bradford's head coach) and my brother-in-law (John King, who plays for the first team) I would have one runaround this year.
"Sevens seemed like it might be more suitable to my damaged body. I had a great day and the lads at Bradford were a great bunch.
"The day was brilliantly organised, but I think that may have been my debut and retirement for Bradford all in one go!'' Cardiff won the cup competition, beating Walcot 43-17 in the final, with Trowbridge beating Chippenham 36-14 to win the Plate.

Women Earn Third Seed, Men Fourth
WINTER PARK, Fla. – The 2014 Sunshine State Conference Tennis Championship is set for April 24-26 on the campus of Rollins College.
The seventh-ranked Saint Leo women's tennis team earns the No. 3 seed in this year's tournament, and will square off against the sixth-seeded Nova Southeastern Sharks on Thursday, April 24, at 11:30 a.m.
The Saint Leo men's team, currently ranked fourth in NCAA DII, earns the fourth seed in the men's bracket. The Lions will take on fifth-seeded Florida Southern at 9 a.m. on Thursday, April 24.
Both the men's and women's conference tournament champions will earn automatic qualifiers to the 2014 NCAA Division II Tennis Championship.
The SSC is one of the elite NCAA Division II conferences in tennis. This year three men's teams (No. 2 Barry, No. 4 Saint Leo, No. 8 Lynn) and five women's teams (No. 1 Barry, No. 5 Lynn, No. 7 Saint Leo, No. 8 Rollins, No. 10 Florida Southern) rank in the top-10 of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) national rankings.
SSC teams have collected 12 national championships in tennis (7 men, 5 women). They have also earned a total of 16 national runner-up trophies (10 men, 6 women).
Barry has won three national titles in the last four years. The Buccaneer men won in 2013 and 2010, while the women won in 2011.
Earning the top seed and a first-round bye in the men's draw is second-ranked Barry. The Buccaneers (19-2, 6-0 SSC) captured the first-ever SSC regular-season title in 2014 and are in search of their third-straight conference-tournament title.
The rest of the men's seeds are as follows: No. 2 Lynn (12-5, 5-1 SSC), No. 3 Rollins (11-9, 4-2 SSC), No. 4 Saint Leo (17-4, 3-3 SSC), No. 5 Florida Southern (10-9, 2-4 SSC), No. 6 Florida Tech (7-12, 1-5 SSC), No. 7 Eckerd (4-11, 0-6 SSC).
The first-round matchups in the men's draw will all begin at 9 a.m. on Thursday, April 24. No. 2 Lynn will face No. 7 Eckerd for a spot in the semifinal round against the winner of No. 3 Rollins and No. 6 Florida Tech. On the other side of the bracket, No. 4 Saint Leo and No. 5 Florida Southern will play for a chance to play No. 1 Barry in the semifinal round. Both of the men's semifinal matches will be played at 9 a.m. on Friday, April 25. The men's final is set or 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 26.
Earning the top seed in the women's draw is top-ranked Barry. The Buccaneers (20-1, 8-0 SSC) also captured the first-ever SSC women's regular-season title. Barry is in search of its fifth-straight women's conference tournament crown.
The rest of the women's seeds are as follows: No. 2 Lynn (20-2, 7-1 SSC), No. 3 Saint Leo (17-4, 5-3), No. 4 Rollins (16-5, 5-3 SSC), No. 5 Florida Southern (16-5, 5-3 SSC), No. 6 Nova Southeastern (13-10, 3-5 SSC), No. 7 Tampa (11-7, 2-6 SSC), No. 8 Florida Tech (10-12, 1-7 SSC).
Florida Southern, Rollins and Saint Leo all finished their conference slate with a 5-3 record, and all three teams went 1-1 against the other two conference opponents. The next tiebreaking criteria after head-to-head is the position of each team in the most current NCAA or ITA South Region rankings. The most current rankings by the NCAA, as of April 16, positions Saint Leo third, Rollins fourth and Florida Southern fifth at this year's championship. The Lions currently rank No. 3 in the South Region, while Rollins ranks fourth and Florida Southern ranks sixth.
Three of the first-round matchups in the women's draw will begin at 11:30 a.m. with the fourth match scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 24. On one side of the bracket, No. 1 Barry will face No. 8 Florida Tech and No. 4 Rollins will take on No. 5 Florida Southern. Both matches will be played at 9 a.m. on the first day, and the winners will meet in the semifinal round on Friday, April 25 at 12:30 p.m.
The other side of the bracket will have No. 2 Lynn and No. 7 Tampa squaring off at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 24. The winner of that match will face the winner of No. 3 Saint Leo and No. 6 Nova Southeastern in the semifinal round on Friday, April 25 at 12:30 p.m. Saint Leo and Nova Southeastern are scheduled to play at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 24.
The women's final is set for Saturday, April 26 at 12:30 p.m.
The regionals will take place May 3-6 on campus sites to be determined, while the final site will be hosted by the Sunshine State Conference at Sanlando Park in Altamonte Springs May 14-17.

PENNY farthings, old Raleighs and other antique bicycles will be out again for a third time for the Elgar Vintage ride around Malvern.
The event, on Sunday, September 14, is being organised by Malvern Cycles in the Link, and this year will raise money for the local branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
There are 88 people with motor neurone disease in the area and the money raised by the ride will help to buy essential equipment or a carer, as well as helping to fund research into the disease.
Registration is now open, and Tanya Trotman of Malvern Cycles is hoping as many people as possible will sign up for the ride.
She said: "It's an opportunity to raise money for our community and to have a unique day out with family and friends. Dress up in tweed or Victorian attire, and if you can ride the oldest bike you own, then that would be brilliant."
The ride starts at 2pm at the Abbey Gateway. Riders will go through Priory Park, down to Poolbrook via St Andrews Road and Peachfield Road, down Guarlford Road and on to Malvern Link via Sherrards Green.
"The seven-mile ride will finish at Malvern Cycles where there will be a pig roast and prizes will be awarded. Those who don't wish to take part in the ride can come down and join in on the pig roast from 3pm onwards."
"Our first Elgar Vintage Ride enjoyed the support of more than 100 participants and even though we had bad weather last year, we had over 70 taking part, so this year we open to continue this success."
There will be prizes for best-decorated bike and best-dressed male and female, judged by Isis Boutique owner Gill Campbell and staff of Francis of Malvern.
Registration fees are adults £6, retired £4, and children £3. For more information visit elgarvintageride.co.uk or call into the shop to pick up a form.

Professor: Dugas (Director)
This program is designed for students who have strong international and regional (area studies) interests and wish to pursue these interests systematically in their academic studies. The program reflects the belief that several kinds of skills and knowledge are essential for understanding the contemporary global system. The first of these is the ability to analyze issues that are global—issues that pertain to the interrelationships among the peoples and states of the world. The second is skill in making explicit, systematic comparisons between dimensions of political, socioeconomic, or cultural life in two or more societies, as well as acquiring the special kinds of insights resulting from such comparative analysis. The third is in-depth knowledge of a particular area of the world—its geography, history, culture, and institutions. These areas may be a state, a subcontinent, or a continent.
With a mix of courses providing global/comparative and area-specific knowledge, mastery of a second language, study abroad, the IAS sophomore and senior seminars, a discipline-specific major or minor, and an internationally-oriented Senior Individualize Project (SIP), students majoring in International and Area Studies should be well prepared to live in and to make sense of the interdependent system of nations and regions that make up the modern world. They will also have received a solid foundation for graduate study and/or further training for careers in the international realm.
The program in international and area studies is open to all students.
In addition to meeting formal requirements, majors are urged to consider international Career and Professional Development internships as well as SIPs in consultation with the Career and Professional Development Center.
Number of Units
Ten units are required, not including language courses or the SIP.
Required Core Courses
Any History course in an area different from the student's area of geographic study
ANSO 103 Introduction to Society and Culture
ECON 101 Principles of Economics or POLS 375 International Political Economy

IAST 490 Senior Seminar
POLS 106 Introduction to Comparative Politics or POLS 107 Introduction to International Politics
Other Requirements
Potential majors should consult with the director early in their college careers to assure proper program planning and to obtain a list of appropriate courses.
Students are strongly encouraged to pursue a SIP that incorporates an international and/or area studies dimension.
In order to qualify for honors in the major, an IAS student must meet two of the following three criteria: a minimum of 3.5 GPA in IAS courses (excluding foreign language courses); honors in the senior comprehensive examination; honors on an IAS-related SIP.
Four units from at least two (2) different departments are required. One (1) of these four courses may be taken while on study abroad; however, the student must supply a syllabus and other detailed information about the content of that course to the IAS program director, who will then determine whether or not it may count.

AZRE Magazine September/October 2013
'When one door closes, another opens …'
There are many famous quotes and accomplishments that can be attributed to Alexander Graham Bell. One of his more famous lines reads: "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." In the commercial real estate industry, there were a lot of doors that were closed during the Great Recession. But thanks to the dogged determination, resiliency and leadership of Arizona's commercial real estate companies — both big and small — the doors are once again opening and the industry is poised to capitalize on those opportunities. In this issue of AZRE, we look into:
- Office and industrial: A panel of five experts size up two sectors that are gaining momentum once again. Also, a new and improved "Big Deals."
- Multi-family: This sector continues to sizzle. Check out our annual special section with the Arizona Multihousing Association.
- Urban Land Institute: Arizona's statewide convener for dialogue among industry leaders — true visionaries.
- Coreslab Structures: Celebrating 25 years of excellence in Arizona.
- Law: Social media becoming a new and necessary tool.
Finally, I'm sad to say that this is the last issue of AZRE to which former editor Peter Madrid will contribute. Peter helped build AZRE into the definitive publication for Arizona's commercial real estate industry. So while we appreciate Peter's contributions, we are happy that Amanda Ventura (pictured above) is taking the baton and bringing her award-winning journalism skills to AZRE. Amanda's expertise, energy and commitment to excellence will make AZRE an even more authoritative voice for the industry.
When one door closes, another opens.

colinm - Saturday, May 15, 2004 - linkS3 needs to get good drivers for their other products before they even try to put a new product on the market. I bought a S3 Savage about the time the TNT was released and S3 still hasn't made solid drivers for it, much less ANY product released since then. S3 is a joke, don't be fooled for a moment. Don't buy their hardware no matter how much potential it has expecting them to eventually fix the driver issues because it will NOT happen. Reply
bldkc - Tuesday, April 06, 2004 - linkI agree, it's a POS. As a mechanical engineer I have guys coming in to see me every day with their "upgraded", or "more efficient" designs. All I know is it has to meet my specs. I will not vary my specs if there is someone else who will meet them.
I tell them what I want, but they show up with something that doesn't meet my needs. Sound like the S3 with the Deltachrome? The point is that just because it does some things well does not mean it isn't a POS. Heck, my daughter's Reader Rabbit games would have this thing on it's knees. Reply
kamper - Saturday, March 13, 2004 - linkalso a spell checker wouldn't hurt too much would it? It's not "impliment" and it definitely isn't "impilment" Reply
kamper - Saturday, March 13, 2004 - linkas cliffa3 points out, you guys really need to hire someone with an english degree. Here's another one that had me scratching my head for a while:
"Another option S3 has open to is will be to use..." wtf? (2nd last paragraph, last page) Reply
aka1nas - Wednesday, March 10, 2004 - linkWell it obviously needs driver work, but, as long as they get it marketable and don't price it too high then they can make enough of their money back on it to keep them in the game. I think some of the problem with the graphics card market is that the few new players that try to enter the market either don't have the capital or fortitude to try to stay in for the long-term. Even if the deltachrome doesn't make a profit for S3, they can still quite possibly defray much of the cost of developing it and apply the experience in hardware design and drivers that they have gained and make a great second generation product. It takes time and a lot of coordination to get people to work effectively and efficiently at such a complicated project. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Wednesday, March 10, 2004 - linkS3 seems to have one continuous problem: They aim too low.
I'm not saying they should go for top-end, but if you want to market a 3D vid card these days, then look at the current models you want to compete with --and then design a card that will beat their successor (in this case, the Radeon 9600XT/GeforceFX 5700). S3's cards, when released, are always cards we might have been interested in six months ago, but in the current market are either too pricey, or still not stable enough, guaranteeing that at the point S3 gets their drivers just right, the card is 8-10 months out of date, and only a good deal if priced in the $99 range, assuming they actually support the GPU for awhile with driver updates. Reply
Serp86 - Wednesday, March 10, 2004 - linkyeah. it definately got potential, but it needs mature drivers.
Kinda like the radeon 8500....(although it was high end, and performed good at release, if it was released with mature drivers it would have been the turning stone for ati, not the 9700Pro.) Reply
Marsumane - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - linkThis is actually great news. If they actually get this card working to the level of a 9600 pro, then we could definately see some more sort lowering of the prices. This could prove to be very good for us consumers that like to buy sub $200 cards. It seems to have good potential, and I cant wait to see its final performance/price. Reply
AgaBooga - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - linkFrom the results, I think it needs more driver work Reply
Idoxash - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - link"wow, another POS"
I guess if nothing can out beat ATI and nVidia in speed it's a POS? There are many aspects of a video card then just speed alone. For example: From wut I read many months ago when S3 first talked about this new GFX card of theirs they stated it uses something like 7 watts of power. If that is the case then you have a GFX card that does dang good in speed and uses far, far, less power then any other GFX card.
In either way they should turn this into a intergrated chip as well for notebooks and mini-mobos. Be a nice gfx chip to have alone with a low energy consuming C3.

page 10 - This game is definitely one of the hot games to make sure are stable and running smoothly.
not sure what needs to be done w/the one on page 10...i didn't even read the whole article, i just caught those in skimming. Reply
shady06 - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - linkwow, another POS Reply
joeld - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - linkNotice how the card rocked in UT2003 but nothing else - reminds me of the diamond viper 2 (savage2000 core from s3) that I had back in the day - driver optimized for Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 and nothing else... Reply
araczynski - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - link...err "but that" rather then "back that"... Reply
araczynski - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - linkdidn't notice the card was from S3 :) back that only reaffirms my original though, they'll stay int he on-board market, where they've done well in the recent past, i'm guessing this solution is an attempt at rising to the mid-upper performance tier in on-board solutions. Reply
JAGedlion - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - linkI hope they put this in their mini-itx mobos, it would increase their funcionality many times fold Reply
drteserect - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - linkHaving owned both a Virge and Savage 8 motherboards, I realize that S3 has not always been a startup, but it has been out of the competitive fray for so long it is essentially a startup. My suggestion also applies the company that is behind the Volari. Reply
Idoxash - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - link"The only hope I see for a new graphics chip company would be to set up an open source environment for their driver software. The development leads of ATI and NVidia are immense, but possibly the collective genuis of people who like to play with such tasks would give a startup some sort of chance."
You say this like S3 is a new starup company? If that's the case you are very wrong. S3 is very old and has been making gfx chips for many, many years. If I misunderstood wut you sed then I'm sorry.
In either way they should open up their drivers. That probly help them out a lot because they had plenty of time to tweak and fix their drivers before this release and the drivers are still crap over.

The development leads of ATI and NVidia are immense, but possibly the collective genuis of people who like to play with such tasks would give a startup some sort of chance. Reply

Cybercat - Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - linkTime is an issue. Even if they are able to fix all the IQ issues and OGL performance problems, if they release it too late, their performance will be below what ATI and NVIDIA will be offering, and they'll fizzle out. If they can get it out before the big boys bring out their new stuff, and they price it cheap enough, they'll have a product that can potentially take a bit of the FX5200/R9200 portion of the market, which would be good because those cards don't perform well for their price IMO. It will be nice to root for someone other than ATI and NVIDIA for a change. Reply
