I don't know if this is the proper forum for this topic, but here goes...
I'm new to both HTTPS and VPN's (virtual private networks), but I just read some articles that intrigue me. I associate HTTPS with secure transactions - like online shopping and application forms that require personal data.
But there are apparently efforts to promote HTTPS for general websurfing. There's even a Firefox HTTPS addon.
I'm also experimenting with a VPN. It's very easy to use, even though I still don't fully understand how it works and what it can do. But my perception is that HTTPS and VPN's both increase security, and the two combined should be even better.
So what do web designers think about these technologies? Do you just use them for online transactions, or do you think it would be appropriate to convert ordinary websites to HTTPS? And how do you make a website HTTPS-compatible in the first place?
Tentatively, I'd like to be able to offer my visitors two choices: "Surf this site in HTTP mode or HTTPS mode." If they choose, the latter, then http://www.mysite.com/cool would automatically default to https://www.mysitecom/cool
How can I do this, and is it a good idea?
One problem that occurred to me is that, if my visitors are using VPN's, then my site presumably wouldn't recognize them as return visitors, wouldn't remember their passwords, etc. That's not a huge issue at this point, because I still haven't set up any of my sites with visitor registration or that type of thing.
Any way, I'm shooting in the dark and would appreciate any comments that might help me understand HTTPS, VPN's and their relevance. Thanks!
HTTPS and VPNs are completely different technologies.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a widely used communications protocol for secure communication over a computer network [...]
In its popular deployment on the internet, HTTPS provides authentication of the web site and associated web server that one is communicating with, which protects against Man-in-the-middle attacks. Additionally, it provides bidirectional encryption of communications between a client and server, which protects against eavesdropping and tampering with and/or forging the contents of the communication. [...]
Historically, HTTPS connections were primarily used for payment transactions on the World Wide Web, e-mail and for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, HTTPS began to see widespread use for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure
A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across public networks like the Internet. It enables a host computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if they were an integral part of the private network with all the functionality, security and management policies of the private network.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vpn
Put simply, HTTPS is used to browse websites securely, so that 3rd-parties can't access the information being sent between the client and the web server.
Put simply, a VPN allows two separate networks to be connected securely, over the public Internet without 3rd-parties being able to gain access to either network or see the data being transferred over the tunnel (aka, the encrypted connection). For example, a business might enable a VPN connection for their employees in order for them to access the company's network files while offsite or at home.
VPNs are not used with Internet-facing websites. If you host a storefront/ecommerce site, you should not implement a VPN--it is unnecessary, complex for general visitors to use, and just isn't the correct tool to use for websites. You should only be using HTTPS.
Force Flow explained it very well but i want to add something more to HTTPS, For getting https in place of http in url you need to install an SSL Certificate to your site which allows you to secure communication between browser and a web server. You can move your customer or visitors to https url by just redirecting the non www link to https secured url. And when you install an SSL Certificate you will automatically get the https security. <snip>

ON SUNDAY an ageing midfielder made a 16-minute debut for his new club.
He didn't run the game. He didn't dazzle with his creative skill. Admittedly, he played a part in the second goal, but essentially it was a short, sweet cameo.
Upon this thoroughly unremarkable display, the player was hauled up in front of the media and his words were treated like gold that reporters fell upon.
Thousands of column inches were written about him the world over. His face was emblazoned on newspaper pages and websites. He was virtually inescapable.
This is Brand Beckham in action, presumably the effect Paris Saint-Germain's super-rich Qatari hierarchy were going for when they brought him to the French capital last month.
For this is a man who contributes only a tiny proportion of what he used to on a football field. In his pomp, Beckham was a thoroughly gifted right-sided midfielder, a man who could put a cross on a 10-pence piece, bend an impossible free kick into the top corner and galvanise an entire team with his work rate.
Now, although undeniably still a supreme passer of the ball, Beckham's main contribution to this world is not as an artist in the Beautiful Game, but as the face of a money-making machine.
He was not signed by the French outfit for his supreme footballing ability. He was signed because he is one of the most marketable men in the world. The power of Beckham to draw attention to a club, to get people through the gates, to get them buying merchandise, shirts in particular, is incredible.
I believe that appealed to Paris Saint-Germain's owners greatly, but as football fans, should we resent these motives, if they indeed are the case?
Many will. Others will say that the PSG hierarchy are merely capitalising on an obvious business opportunity. Plenty will have a foot in both camps.
One thing that cannot be denied is that football has become a funny place when an outrageously wealthy club is signing an average player.
I remember, when constructing dream teams in my formative years, that I picked the players I thought were the best in the world. The idea of including someone on the grounds of anything other than footballing ability, was ridiculous.
Paris Saint-Germain, to a degree, have the ability to select their own dream team. That they choose not to do so says more about the importance the football club places on money than Carlo Ancelotti's eye for a player.

Juanita's Hard Times Bus (Softcover)
de Jason Neville
Acerca del libro
The book "Juanita's Hard Times Bus on Hwy 71" is the culmination of a two-year friendship of visits, phone calls, and letter writing between photographer Jason Neville and folk artist Juanita Leonard.
Juanita Leonard is an extraordinary woman. She lives in North Louisiana, where she built a church in her backyard, without any background in carpentry or architecture, just following instructions God gave her. Statues of angels on the outside of her "Helping Hands Church" were sculpted by hand, from clay dug from her backyard. A self-taught artist, she has painted virtually every surface of the inside and outside of her church, house, car, and all the buildings near her house: "All of my paintings, all I do, everything I am, everything we are, is because of God. It all comes from God."
Accompanied by Juanita's own words and perspectives on God and humanity, and her self-described techniques, Jason's photographs capture the brilliant range and depth of Juanita's life's work. The book is an earnest portrayal of this fascinating, humorous, devoted, and talented woman.

Gators learning to drive
Published: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 7:07 p.m.
After some early-season offensive struggles, Florida has found ways to keep drives alive in its last three games.
Last season, Florida's ball-control offense centered around a physical running game led by former running back Mike Gillislee.
This season, it's been quarterback Tyler Murphy and a short-passing game that has generated yards after the catch.
Controlling the ball will continue to be a priority on Saturday when Florida faces LSU. Since Murphy took over for injured Jeff Driskel at quarterback against Tennessee, the Gators have put together six touchdown drives of 75 yards or more.
"We've done a good job of staying away from negative-play situations," Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease said.
Pease was still irked by an illegal substitution penalty and Murphy taking a sack during UF's 30-10 win over Arkansas last Saturday. But for the most part, Pease thinks the Gators have cleaned up some mistakes they were making earlier in the season.
"If we can stay away from the negative plays and continue to just grind and not get into long down situations — you saw it in our first drive, we didn't do too much in our first two drives, guys made plays on third-and-10," Pease said. "We're capable of that. But that's what we've got to keep working towards as we move the ball down the field. That's where we're working our drives and where we're going to score and just be consistent."
Murphy's impact on the offense has been undeniable. The fourth-year junior quarterback has shown composure in the pocket and is making smart decisions with the football.
That confidence has carried over to the rest of the offense. Senior wide receiver Solomon Patton (4 TDs, 348 yards receiving) has emerged as a big-play threat, while senior Trey Burton (23 catches, 282 yards) has made an effective transition to slot receiver.
"You obviously have guys somewhere that are making plays, guys that are running with the ball after catch or breaking tackles on the line," Pease said. "Linemen are blocking very well, the quarterback is stepping up to make second and third reads or scrambling with the ball. … That's hard for defensive people to be accountable to that."
Up front, the Gators have benefited from the return of senior Jon Halapio on the offensive line. Left guard Max Garcia, a transfer from Maryland, also has been more comfortable and confident in run blocking and pass protection.
"We go into the game with specific plays that we want to open up with and we do a pretty good job keeping that plan," Garcia said. "We kind of know what we're doing and I think going a little bit slower than most offenses has helped us out as far as looking at the defense and what they are bringing and what we're seeing."
All that's been missing from Florida's offense of late has been the run game, which has been inconsistent of late. After rushing for 246 yards against Kentucky, the Gators were held to 115 yards against Arkansas on 2.8 yards per carry. Starting tailback Matt Jones had just 50 yards on 17 carries.
Pease admitted he may have called too many inside runs against the Razorbacks, but said the play-calling was based on Arkansas' defensive scheme.
"Yards per carry weren't what we wanted it to be and what we're used to," Pease said. "I thought our backs ran hard, and there were some things that weren't there. Hey, the D-line at Arkansas is pretty good now. They put some movement on up front and they got free and a couple of guys had some free hits."
The Gators could have better luck running the football against a revamped LSU defensive front that lost linebacker Barkevious Mingo and defensive tackle Sam Montgomery to the NFL draft last season. LSU ranks eighth in the Southeastern Conference in run defense, giving up 159.5 yards per game.
"We kind of ran into that situation a couple of times last year and the kids bounced back," Pease said.

TROY, Ohio (AP) -- Three western Ohio teens have been accused of inducing panic by leaving written threats at their schools.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/WcT6n1 ) reports that the boys -- ages 13, 14 and 15 -- are being held in a juvenile detention facility following an initial court appearance Thursday in Miami County.
Police said the 14-year-old is accused of writing a threatening note on a table this week at Tippecanoe Middle School in Tipp City, north of Dayton. The 15-year-old accused of writing a threat on toilet paper at Tippecanoe High School.
The 13-year-old is accused of leaving a threatening message in a boys' restroom at Troy Junior High School Wednesday.

Hosted about 30 people for a Super Bowl party yesterday, and decided to make Lechon Asado (cuban roast pork) for the main dish.
Started with a 12lb picnic shoulder and marinated it for two days using the recipe in The Barbecue Bible
Put it on the BGE at 7am at about 250 degrees dome temp.
The pinkish tint is from the wine used in the marinade.
After 5 hours, the temp was up to 150 degrees and I wrapped in in foil. Meanwhile, I needed to make some appetizers.
64 moink balls with a blackberry glaze (only half shown here)
Finally, about 2:30 (7-1/2 hours total cooking time) I pulled off the shoulder at 185 degrees.
Let it rest for about 1/2 hour.
Started pulling it early enough to catch kickoff here on the west coast at 3:30.
Very tasty!

"JUST remember I love you mum."
Christine Onder had no idea those heartfelt words would be the last she would hear from her daughter Yasmein Irfan.
The 14-year-old was killed when the overcrowded car she was travelling in smashed into a concrete wall on Pascoe Vale Road in Coolaroo on Wednesday night.
Rumours have swirled about how six teenagers, none with a driver's licence, came to be in the stolen car, which would end three of their lives and put another three in hospital.
"When I first found out, it was like, 'why Yasmein, why? Why did you get in that car?'" Ms Onder said. "But I know I'm never going to get answers.
"You can try to be the best parent but no matter how strict you are, your child is going to rebel."
Yasmein's family remembers her as a loving girl, who wanted to be loved by others.
"She wanted to be loved by everyone, that's what I think her downfall was."
It was a desire for acceptance her mother believed led her to that packed car.
Ms Onder said Yasmein, who had only began to rebel this year by wagging school, was desperate to turn her life around and had ambitions to be a lawyer.
She said the Department of Human Services helped with those plans. "People are making out Yasmein to be a monster. She wasn't a monster. She was a beautiful girl. That's what I want people to remember her as. Her life was just beginning."
"Last week she ... said 'mum, I'm going to make you proud. I'm going to turn my life around ... you just watch'."
Early Thursday Ms Onder was woken by a knock on her door which abruptly ended those plans, leaving her without a daughter and Yasmein's brothers, Bailey, 5, and Michael, 6, without a sister they "idolised".
"Michael was woken up when the police came and he woke up his younger brother and said: 'Bailey Yasmein's dead'. But I don't think he understood."
"Last night ... Bailey turned around and said to me 'Mum, when's Yazzie coming home? When can I see Yazzie again?' I don't know how to tell them that Yasmein's never coming home again and they're never going to see her again, they never are never going to cuddle her again?" Ms Onder said.
But on Friday, Ms Onder and her partner, Michael Goldburg, were at a mosque in Melbourne's north organising plans for her funeral.
Ms Onder didn't exaggerate the memory of her daughter. She was quick to say she was a child, a 14-year-old, with all the faults of adolescence.
"She was shifty, I'll admit that, like any other teenager. But towards the end, Yasmein used to tell you the truth. She'd be honest with you, even if she made a mistake, and she would say 'I'm sorry mum'."
Ms Onder's sister Debra Kite urged people not to be too judgmental of Yasmein.
"I'm sure we all made one stupid mistake when we were young and I know I wouldn't like to be judged on that for the rest of my life," Ms Kite said.
But Ms Onder had a message to the parents of other teenagers: "Watch their kids. I don't want a parent to go through what I'm going through now. I never thought I would be burying my child before me. I thought I'd watch Yasmein grow into a beautiful woman, get married, have children."

A couple months ago, we announced that the next After Effects will be 64-bit native on both Mac OS and Windows. I'm very excited about this. It's a huge, must-have feature for nearly every After Effects user. The feedback has been enthusiastic and everyone I've spoken to is looking forward to the advantages of 64-bit.
Because CS4 will be our last 32-bit version, plug-ins will need to be updated in order to work properly in future versions. This has brought up a few questions and concerns. Hopefully, this post will address these concerns and give you a sense of what you can expect to happen.
The wonderful selection of After Effects plug-ins available today will continue. Most of our 3rd party developers are already working on converting their plug-ins. Some are already done and are just waiting for After Effects to be released.
If there's one thing I want you to know, it's that the After Effects team is 100% committed to working with our customers and our 3rd party developers to make this transition as fast and easy as possible.
We're taking extra steps and working more closely than ever with our 3rd party developers:
First, our SDK is available much earlier than ever before. Normally we make this available when we ship. This time, the 64-bit After Effects SDK is ready and available now. Any developer who wishes to join our pre-release program can have access.
Second, updating plug-ins can be easy or hard, depending on the plug-in. We've updated all of our own plug-ins and we've provided support for every plug-in that is included in the box with After Effects. After Effects engineers are available to answer questions and assist our developer community. It's our goal to make this as easy as possible.
Third, quality counts. We can put developers in contact with customers who are able to test the new versions. We can also facilitate this process using Adobe resources.
Fourth, watch this blog and my twitter feed (@motiongfx) for the latest information about availability of 3rd party plug-ins. If you have news about plug-ins, let me know and I can pass it on to the community.
If you're a developer, please reach out to me and let me know how we can help.
If you're an After Effects user, tell your favorite plug-in makers that you're interested in having a 64-bit compatible version. Also reach out to me to tell me which plug-ins are important to you. I can follow up with help for the developers.
I hope it's clear why we've chosen to go this route. 64-bit native is a big improvement for After Effects. Keeping both 32- and 64-bit significantly delays when we can get these advances to our customers. Doing so would also increase development costs for us and our 3rd party developers.
In the long run, this benefits everyone. In the short term, we're committed to providing as much assistance as possible.
If you have any questions and concerns, please leave a comment.

Disastrous GOP Budget
Republicans' Flawed Budget Priorities
The Fiscal Year 2015 budget resolution passed by House Republicans is a partisan messaging document that, if implemented, will harm our nation. It goes well beyond even sequestration's irrational cuts and slashes investments in areas that help more Americans achieve a secure place in our middle class. Additionally, Republicans do their best to hide the extent of the damage their drastic budget would cause, relying on gimmicks and fuzzy math, while still not balancing in 10 years. What is clear is that this budget ends the Medicare guarantee as we know it, turns Medicaid into a block grant, repeals the Affordable Care Act, fails to invest in job creation, and does not include any new revenue. The Republican budget for Fiscal Year 2015 simply doesn't add up – and would lead to significant harm for our country.
Earlier this year, President Obama proposed a budget that focused on growth, opportunity, and security. His budget makes investments that would create jobs, make our private sector more competitive, strengthen our schools and early learning, and pursue greater energy security for the twenty-first century.
I believe that Congress must use our budget process to continue to move closer to the long-term fiscal sustainability that our country needs. Instead of focusing on partisan messaging, we should make a real effort to achieve balanced deficit savings and invest in the programs that strengthen our economy, grow our middle class, and help more of our businesses and families Make It In America.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
A lot of people will be interested to know that at the launch event in LA it was announced that the T-SQL debugger is returning to Management Studio in SQL Server 2008.
Personally, this is not a feature I've been lamenting the loss of; I never used it in SQL Server 2000, and unless we can view temp tables, table variables, etc, I just don't see it as something with a lot of utility for the way I personally develop T-SQL.
But this isn't just about me, and I know that there was a huge amount of interested in seeing the debugger come back into the core SQL Server tools. So congrats to all of the step debug fans out there; get your F10 keys ready for SQL Server 2008!

Adam, I am interested what did you use for debugging in sql server 2000
I am Hiwot from Ethiopia. I want so know about SQL server so please help to send document for knownin very deep about SQL. So please help me.
I am wanting also learn much about SQL server, please send "TP" document, I believe summarized in TP(S?) report '08...maybe much better.
The debugger is great!! I used the debugger to step into complex code while researching obscure data issues. The version in SQL2K allowed you to view data in variables, temp tables, etc. It is a must have tool in a hard core SQL shop.
I for one am fired up that it's returning. Never understood why they didn't include it in 2005.
Ognjen: Strategic use of PRINT / RAISERROR / SELECT. Not pretty, but it works...
Rafael: No, it did not allow you to view data in temp tables.
Cornelius: The TPS Reports are on their way!

FURNITURE courses are on a list of nine degrees being axed by Buckinghamshire New University.
BNU said it is dropping two of its undergraduate furniture courses in the summer - BA (Hons) Furniture and the FDA Furniture: Conservation, Restoration and Decorative Arts courses.
The university said five engineering degrees, the BA (Hons) 3D Contemporary Crafts and Products and the BA (Hons) Fine Art courses will also be ditched at the end of the current cycle.
Staff redundancies are also expected to be made, the university confirmed today.
A BFP reader called the decision "another nail in the coffin of High Wycombe as a centre of excellence for furniture manufacture in the UK."
But the High Wycombe-based university said The National School of Furniture will continue and it is "actively recruiting" to a new foundation degree.
Postgraduate furniture courses will also continue into the new academic year to ensure "High Wycombe's historical connection with the furniture industry will remain", BNU said in a statement.
The university added: "The decision has not been taken lightly.
"But, by ceasing to recruit to these courses we can refocus efforts on areas which meet the demands of students and employers and on further improvements to our campuses and student experience for the benefit of all.
"There will regrettably be a small number of staff who will be directly affected by the outcome of today's announcement, and the university will work closely with these people and our recognised unions to ensure the most satisfactory outcome for all concerned."
Almost 1500 people have already signed up to a Facebook group campaigning for the university to reverse its decision.
The BFP has also received emails from readers who are fearful about the effect BNU's decision will have on Wycombe's proud furniture heritage.
The following courses will not be avaliable to new students of Bucks New University from summer 2014:
BA (Hons) 3D Contemporary Crafts & Products
BA (Hons) Fine Art (FT and PT)
BEng Mechanical Engineering Design
BSc Engineering Management (FT and PT)
HNC Mechanical Engineering Design
MEng Mechanical Engineering Design
MSc Engineering Design and Management
BA (Hons) Furniture
FdA Furniture: Conservation, Restoration and Decorative Arts (FT and PT)

Be My Boyfriend: The Beautiful Minds Behind Beloved Shirts
An incredible thing happened to me on Sunday night: I saw God for the very first time. Or, you know, this Oprah face sweatshirt, but it's the exact same thing. I texted Julie immediately to make her aware of my intentions to purchase two (one for each of us, naturally) so that we might match, and never wear any other shirt ever again in our lives. She took it one step further and pointed me in the direction of the sweatshirt's source, a Utah-based company called Beloved Shirts. Man, if you thought that Oprah sweatshirt was great (and I did, obviously), check out all these other ones!
I'm not entirely sure who is behind Beloved, or if they would like to date me, but I'm putting it out there that I would definitely like to date them. On the off chance that they don't want to date me, which would be weird, I guess I could settle for them sending me one of their beautiful creations. Please take a look at some of my choicest favorites in this gallery, and keep in mind that I would happily accept every single one, though I am most emotionally invested in the Step Brothers sweatshirt (shown), and am also pretty loose about giving out my address to strangers. Only in the name of perfect sweatshirts, of course. [Beloved]

In turbulent markets, companies can enhance their agility and minimize risk by orchestrating a network of resource providers. The story of Promon, a Brazilian engineering company, illustrates the advantages of orchestrating a network.
Promon initially grew on the back of government funded infrastructure projects that were the mainstay business of Brazil's engineering firms during the 1970's and early 1980's. This all changed when a fiscal crisis in 1986 prevented the Brazilian government from commissioning new projects and forced it to renege on existing contracts. Most Brazilian engineering firms collapsed in the face of this sudden-death threat and disappeared.
Promon survived and thrived while its competitors floundered, in large part, because the company successfully transformed itself into an innovative systems integrator for the telecommunications, power and industrial segments. As an illustration, one joint-venture formed by Promon has 82 employees who supervise a project with 1,907 workers representing 573 separate subcontractor companies. Promon rolled out this system throughout the 1990's. System integration projects increased from less than 20% in the late 1980's to over 90% by the end of the 1990's.
The company developed sophisticated skills for forging and managing partnerships, which allowed it to increase net revenues (including both revenues for services and the value of goods and services procured under its responsibility) from $10 million in 1987 – the year after the Brazilian government's fiscal crisis – to $852 million in 2008, while decreasing total staff from 4,000 to approximately 1,360 professionals over the

Pamela Anderson's breasts still gi-normous
Attention, everyone! Pamela Anderson's breasts are still ridiculously large. You're welcome. Oh yeah, she also hung out with Tommy Lee yesterday and bought some plants. I don't know what that means, but I bet it involves doing it in a pile of a mulch. How else do you landscape? Ha ha, with a mower. Now you're just making shit up.
EDIT: Moved this to the top of the page because, well, breasts. I think I've made my point.

Top contenders ranked by strengths
In AL, Mariners and Royals could emerge; NL field appears to be closer
A 162-game season rewards total team performance and depth in the face of attrition.
But being particularly good in one category of the game can sometimes override being weak in another. With that in mind, let's take a look at each key category and pick which of the remaining contenders is most adept.
For the sake of clarity, we'll define "contender" here as any club within six games of a playoff spot. This includes the Orioles, Royals, Angels, A's, Mariners, Tigers, Yankees, Indians and Blue Jays in the American League, and the Nationals, Brewers, Dodgers, Cardinals, Giants, Braves, Pirates, Marlins and Reds in the National League.
AL: Angels
Comment: It's an admittedly awkward time to give the Angels the top spot in the AL, as their run production in the second half has been down (fueled no doubt by Mike Trout's .228/.299/.436 second-half slash line). But the Halos trail only the A's in runs per game (4.82 to 4.66) this season. And when you use a stat like weighted runs created plus, which considers park factors (with the Angels in a park known to suppress power), the Halos are second to none with a 110 mark, per FanGraphs. Also of note, the Angels' .751 eam OPS on the road is by far the best in baseball. The A's effective use of platoons makes them a good candidate (though they definitely gave up a lot of power in trading Yoenis Cespedes to Boston), and the Tigers, Blue Jays and Orioles can all straight up mash in the middle of the order. But I'm giving the Halos the nod for best all-around offense, figuring Trout will turn it around.
Ranking the rest: 2. A's (possibly trending downward without Cespedes), 3. Blue Jays, 4. Tigers, 5. Orioles, 6. Royals, 7. Indians, 8. Yankees, 9. Mariners (though they've been hot in August).
NL: Brewers
Comment: The Brew Crew gets the nod for putting up AL-type (or Rockies-type) numbers in the slugging (.414) and home runs per game (1.01) tallies. Among NL teams, only those Coors Field-aided Rox lead them in runs per game (4.67 to 4.34), and the Brewers have been even more productive on the road (4.5 runs per game) than at home (4.19). It's telling that they're having the season they're having despite Ryan Braun ranking fourth on the club in adjusted OPS.
Ranking the rest: 2. Dodgers, 3. Nationals, 4. Pirates, 5. Giants, 6. Cardinals, 7. Marlins, 8. Braves, 9. Reds.
AL: Mariners
Comment: There's little doubt the A's and Tigers have more star power. And a couple weeks from now, these rankings could be different. But for all the hype, Oakland's restructured starting staff has a 4.51 ERA since the All-Star break. Detroit, with a 3.94 mark since the turn, is sorely missing Anibal Sanchez, and the Artist Formerly Known as Justin Verlander needs to reveal himself. Until then, I'm siding with a Seattle team that has an AL-best 3.23 ERA for the season and a ridiculous 2.40 mark in the second half. Felix Hernandez is, remarkably, getting better with age, sporting a 2.07 ERA in the best season of his career. Looming behind King Felix is the Comeback King Chris Young (3.17 ERA in 26 appearances) and Hisashi Iwakuma (2.83 ERA in 22 starts), making the Mariners a dangerous October opponent, particularly if they avoid the one-game Wild Card.
Ranking the rest: 2. Tigers, 3. A's, 4. Royals, 5. Angels (trending downward with the loss of Garrett Richards), 6. Indians (on the upswing), 7. Yankees, 8. Orioles, 9. Blue Jays.
NL: Nationals
Comment: It's always a good "problem" to have five healthy starting arms worthy of an October look. The trade for Doug Fister has been every bit as effective as advertised, Jordan Zimmermann has solidified his status as the heart and soul of the starting staff, Tanner Roark has built upon last year's encouraging debut and, even in an inconsistent season, Stephen Strasburg has struck out 202 in 175 1/3 innings. The biggest disappointment has been Gio Gonzalez, but even he's contributed league-average output. The Nats don't have a Clayton Kershaw, but they've got better overall depth than the Dodgers, especially as L.A. deals with Zack Greinke's tender elbow and Hyun-Jin Ryu's strained buttocks.
Ranking the rest: 2. Dodgers, 3. Reds, 4. Braves, 5. Cardinals, 6. Brewers, 7. Marlins, 8. Giants, 9. Pirates.
AL: Royals and Mariners (tie)
Comment: Bullpens can be tricky to evaluate, because it's hard to know how much weight to place on the overall vs. the primary arms. So let's just call this one a draw.
The Mariners have a 2.37 relief ERA, which would be the lowest since the 2.35 mark posted by the A's in 1990. They have the prototypical modern 'pen, in that it features a wealth of hard throwers cobbled together from all manner of circumstances (young guys like Yoervis Medina and Dominic Leone climbed the organizational ladder, while Tom Wilhelmsen was out of baseball for five years and Joe Beimel was out of the big leagues for three years) and put in the best positions to succeed (the Mariners, like an increasing number of clubs, carry an eight-man 'pen to exploit matchups). They top it off with Fernando Rodney, who at 37 is striking out 10.5 per nine innings and posting a 2.19 ERA.
The Royals, meanwhile, don't fare as well in the overall figures (their ERA ranks seventh in the AL). But in closer Greg Holland and setup men Wade Davis, Helvin Herrera and the recently acquired Jason Frasor, they've got four guys who have posted sub-2.00 ERAs for them this season. Davis has a 0.80 ERA and 0.852 WHIP. He has a 0.20 ERA since April 26. If the Royals have a late lead, it's generally good luck and/or goodnight.
Ranking the rest: 3. Orioles, 4. Angels, 5. A's (the Sean Doolittle injury hurts), 6. Indians, 7. Yankees, 8. Blue Jays, 9. Tigers.
NL: Braves
Comment: The Braves get the nod because: A. there really isn't an NL 'pen with numbers quite as outlandish as what we just presented from Seattle and Kansas City; and B. Craig Kimbrel (1.76 ERA, 0.922 WHIP, 14.8 strikeouts per nine) is their closer. Actually, "B" might be as deep as this little analysis needs to go, for Kimbrel has a 1.76 ERA, 0.922 WHIP and 14.8 strikeouts per nine. Even though David Carpenter and Luis Avilan have not been as effective as a year ago, Jordan Walden (2.21 ERA in 47 games) and Anthony Varvaro (2.81 ERA in 54 games) have stepped up, and James Russell was a nice lefty pickup who is actually effective against right-handers.
Ranking the rest: 2. Nats, 3. Giants, 4. Marlins, 5. Brewers, 6. Pirates, 7. Cardinals, 8. Dodgers, 9. Reds.
AL: Royals
Comment: The Royals and Orioles both prioritize defense, and an O's team with the most defensive runs saved in baseball thus far this season (per Baseball Info Solutions) might deserve this top spot as much as Kansas City. But the concern over the loss of Manny Machado from the left side of the infield is legitimate. Chris Davis might have a strong arm, but he's nowhere near as rangy and agile a defender as Machado. The Royals, meanwhile, don't have a clear defensive weakness at any position, unless you count Billy Butler temporarily filling in for Eric Hosmer at first base.
Ranking the rest: 2. Orioles, 3. A's, 4. Mariners, 5. Angels, 6. Yankees, 7. Blue Jays, 8. Tigers, 9. Indians.
NL: Reds
Comment: The Reds barely made the "contender" cut for this column, thanks to the forgiving graces of the NL Wild Card picture. But there's no denying their defensive aplomb. They lead the NL in defensive runs saved, with 58, and they've also made the fewest errors in the Majors, with just 59. They're strong up the middle, with Devin Mesoraco behind the plate, Zack Cozart and Brandon Phillips in the middle infield and Billy Hamilton in center field.
Ranking the rest: 2. Cardinals (hugely improved from a year ago), 3. Pirates. 4. Braves, 5. Nationals, 6. Dodgers, 7. Brewers, 8. Giants. 9. Marlins.

"I love our Save-the-Dates! The colors are exactly what we picked out and I love that we got to see a proof of precisely what we wanted. The magnet works perfectly and the photos came out looking gorgeous! The first person we gave one to was so excited that it was magnetized and said that the pictures were really great quality! I cannot say enough good things about this product."
"I loved the quick and easy personalization of this product. I also loved that I was able to receive the item before the date given to me. They are of great quality and look amazing."
"Love that it wasnt too big and can fit on the side of the fridge nicely (if you have a stainless steel fridge). Love it."
"I got this and was more than pleased, I couldn't imagine being happier with my Save the Date! The fact that it is a magnet makes it 100% better. I love love love the fact that even after getting my shipment that I received a hand written letter by the designer. Thanks Jenny for making my wedding just a bit more special!"
"Customer service was awesome. I got my proof the same day I ordered my save the date and was able to add our wedding website to the magnet with no problem. Although the magnet was smaller than I thought (for some reason I thought it was 4x6), it was the perfect size. The print quality of the magnet was great. The pictures we used were really clear and came out better than I thought."

Apple's Phil Schiller Defends iPad mini's $329 Starting Price

Don't hate the playa, hate the game
Reaction to the
introduction of the iPad mini yesterday
was decidedly mixed. On the one hand, many Apple faithful praised the launch of the new tablet, which is half the weight of the third and fourth generation iPads, and can be palmed with one hand. On the other hand, many complained that it was simply a shrunken down iPad 2 with the same lackluster screen resolution. It also didn't help that many people felt that the 16GB iPad mini was overpriced at $329.
For example,
Amazon's 7" Kindle Fire HD
is priced at "only" $199, while a
32GB Google Nexus 7 will cost you $249
. Even Barnes and Noble is hanging around in the budget realm with the
7" Nook HD
, which is priced at $229. All of the aforementioned tablets have a higher screen resolution than the iPad mini.
With all the criticism of the iPad mini's pricing and specs, Apple' Phil Schiller has come to the rescue to defend Apple's newest tablet entry.
"The iPad is far and away the most successful product in its category. The most affordable product we've made so far was $399 and people were choosing that over those devices," said Schiller in an interview with
"And now you can get a device that's even more affordable at $329 in this great new form, and I think a lot of customers are going to be very excited about that."
Schiller believes that the $130 price premium over some competing tablets is worth it, and that the iPad mini will sell on its merits alone, not needing to compete on price. Apple points to the fact that the iPad mini is lighter, thinner, and has better built quality than the plastic-clad competition. And of course, Apple also points to 275,000 tablet-specific apps for the iPad platform versus a plethora of "stretched phone apps" for Android devices.
So, will customers buy into Apple's strategy?

In the photo on the right, the height of it doesn't match with the rumors of a taller, 3.99" screen. Then again, rumors will be rumors.
It's funny when these sites show pictures of prototypes they have 'found'. It's like they get the device and then spend months trying to find the worst possible camera, then spend another month taking the perfect blurry/low def photo.
The light reflection off the iPhone face is not glass.
The hole up top is not cylindrical like iPhone for the camera, it is just black hole.
It is a printed paper mockup on gloss paper put into their "iPhone 5/6" case to legitimize their case, to get retailers to do an early order for these before "iPhone 5/6" gets released.
Everything about that statement is wrong. Go and find an iPhone 4S and press your finger on the screen...you will get color distortion like you would see on LCD Monitors. Try that on an earlier iPhone model and you won't have that issue.
iPhone is going more and more plastic...you just don't realize it.
Looks like we have more innovation coming from Apple. The new design features include...nothing! Its the same thing at a whole new higher price. Apple drones...line up and give us your money! Think Differently!
It defenitally has a matt screen protector on it. You can see the edges of the screen protector around the home button, speaker, and camera.
I don't believe everything I see but the last time we had a leak a month or two before the release(iPhone 4) it was spot on. No reason to doubt this picture at all. It is coming from the source..where they are manufactured. Hate all you want to in my opinion this is the final product. Its taller, enough room for an extra row of icons and it has the center front facing cam. What more is needed? Let me guess, you didn't believe Rodney King was beat up either?? just saying hahahahaha! Let the games begin.
First of all, why would they change the charging port? That would be one of the most retarded thing Apple can do

Youth Catechesis Will Continue in Pakistan
Thursday, February 20, 2014
Success Story
"Young people are our hope and our future," writes the Franciscan Capuchin, Father Shahzad Khokher, who is responsible for the youth apostolate in the Lahore Archdiocese. Thanks to the generosity of you, our benefactors, ACN is able to help again this year with a contribution of $13,700, so that youth catechism can continue in Pakistan.Pakistan is a youthful country. Well over half of Pakistan's population of approximately 190 million are 25 and under, while some 34% are younger than 15. This extremely youthful age structure is no less true of the Christian minority in the country. Sadly, Christian young people face many challenges and difficulties in this country of over 96% Muslims. Young Christians have very few opportunities of advancing socially, and in the state schools they are often discriminated against. A study by the US State Department's Commission on International Religious Freedom has recently found that only 60% of teachers in Pakistani state schools even believe that members of religious minorities are also Pakistani citizens. And even among those who do view Christians as citizens, many do not see them as having equal rights with Pakistani Muslims. As a result, Christian students in Pakistani schools are treated as second-class citizens, and the only religion taught in all school classes, from kindergarten onwards, is Islam, as many Church leaders lament. The teaching is presented as though the country is intended only for Muslims, and even in nonreligious subjects Islam still plays a prominent part. For example, children are given essays to write with titles such as: "Write a letter to your friend, inviting him to convert to Islam." Even in the teaching of mathematics and chemistry, Islam still manages to intrude, while in history classes the achievements of non-Muslims are not even mentioned. And very often the school textbooks themselves speak in a denigrating manner about non-Muslims. The Church has already appealed to the government to revise such school textbooks, and while there have been some small improvements, there is still a great deal to be done. Christian pupils are still often being put under pressure to convert to Islam.Given this situation, it is all the more important for Christian young people to learn to know and treasure their faith and to deepen it. Ever since 1988, the Archdiocese of Lahore has been running special ongoing faith education programs for older adolescents who have already outgrown the Sunday Schools. The focus of these programs is very much on the Holy Scriptures and the Sacraments, but the pupils are also told about great Christian personalities who have played an important role in the history of their country, since these are aspects that are passed over in silence in the official state school curriculum.The program has borne many good fruits, and many former students have even become priests or religious or committed and active lay members of the Church. And thanks to your support, youth catechesis will continue here. Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

SAO PAULO (AP) — After arriving back at their rooms at 4:45 a.m., victorious American players skipped breakfast Tuesday, slept late, went for medical tests and turned their attention to Portugal.
The U.S. opened the World Cup with a thrilling 2-1 win over nemesis Ghana on John Brooks' 86th-minute goal. But Jozy Altidore, Clint Dempsey, Matt Besler and Alejandro Bedoya all got hurt to various degrees. Altidore, taken off on a stretcher after straining his left hamstring, appears unlikely to play against the Portuguese this weekend.
"We've got to see how he now reacts the next couple days," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "We're full of hope that he comes back still in this tournament."
Players hope to become the first American team to win consecutive World Cup games since a 2-0 start at the very first tournament in 1930.
"Woke up today, this morning, and you look at your Instagram and Twitter and you see the videos that people posted," Bedoya said of fans back home celebrating Brooks' goal. "It's really cool, and I'm sure everybody feeds off this energy."
The match drew 11.09 million viewers on ESPN, a record for men's soccer on the network. And after decades when U.S. soccer fans felt outnumbered — even at home games — players took notice of the raucous red, white and blue-clad crowd at Arena das Dunas in Natal.
"It was an incredible feeling, the support we had from the fans in the stadium along with the fans in every part of the country. We felt that," said midfielder Graham Zusi, whose corner kick was headed in by Brooks. "It just makes me want more of it."
But before the next game, the U.S. needs to heal a little.
Captain Clint Dempsey, who set the tone when he scored 30 seconds in, had his nose broken by a shin to the face from defender John Boye when they battled for a header. Klinsmann expects him to play Sunday in the Amazon rain forest capital of Manaus.
"I don't know how much a mask can protect him," Klinsmann said. "It was tricky during the game. He barely could breathe. He struggled with that. But once it's broken, it's broken. It will take time to heal completely."
Dempsey will be paired up front either with Aron Johannsson, who was ineffective as Altidore's replacement, or Chris Wondolowski.
Midfielder Michael Bradley also had a quiet game. Klinsmann said, "I know that Michael can step it up again."
Besler, like Altidore, went for an MRI. The defender felt soreness in his right leg late in the first half and was replaced by Brooks for the start of the second.
"Matt is no problem. All fine for the next game," Klinsmann said.
Bedoya was hobbling before Zusi replaced him in the 77th minute. He said he had a hip pointer, the reoccurrence of an old injury, then also cramped up in his hamstring.
Portugal also has issues and will have to change the right side of its defense. Pepe was ejected in Monday's 4-0 loss to Germany after he appeared to head butt Thomas Mueller. Right back Fabio Coentrao was taken off on a stretcher and forward Hugo Almeida limped off. Coentrao is out for the tournament.
The U.S won its World Cup opener for only the third time in 10 tries, following a 3-0 victory over Belgium in 1930 and a 3-2 win against Portugal in 2002. The Americans advanced to the semifinals in 1930 and the quarterfinals in 2002.
If the U.S. gets at least a tie against fourth-ranked Portugal and No. 2 Germany defeats Ghana, the Americans would head to their third match in prime position to advance.
After delaying training by 45 minutes to wait out a huge traffic jam caused by Brazilians rushing home to watch the Selecao play Mexico, American subs practiced at Sao Paulo Futebol Clube's Barra Funda complex Tuesday. Those who saw significant time Monday worked in the weight room and swimming pool. Klinsmann was thinking of giving players a day off Wednesday.
"Our bodies are banged up a bit," Bedoya said.

Tendons are responsible for connecting muscles to bone. The extensor tendons are located on the back of the hand and fingers. They let you open your hand and straighten your fingers. An extensor tendon injury is a cut or tear to one of these tendons. When they are damaged, you can lose the ability to extend your hand and/or finger(s). Two common extensor injuries are:
Extensor Tendons of the Hand
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Extensor tendon injuries may be caused by:
Factors that may increase your chance of an extensor tendon injury include:
Symptoms may include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. During the exam, you will be asked to bend and straighten your fingers. Your doctor will also check your fingers for sensation, blood flow, and strength. You may be referred to a hand surgeon or an orthopedist—doctor who specializes in bones.
Images may be taken of your hand. This can be done with x-ray.
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Depending on the type of injury, you may require surgery. Surgery may be scheduled right away or within several days.
Treatment options include the following:
Depending on the type of injury, you may receive antibiotics to prevent infection.
Tendons that are cut or ruptured require surgery. The hand surgeon may sew the tendon back together. A pin may need to be inserted through the bone to form a type of inside splint.
After surgery, you will be given a splint to protect your hand. You will be told how long to wear it. It may be up to two months.
A physical therapist or occupational therapist will work with you for several weeks to regain your strength and range of motion. Right after surgery, movement will be limited. This will allow your hand to heal.
Some extensor tendon injuries are treated with a hand splint. Splints are worn until healing has occurred. This is usually several weeks.

YORKSHIRE Vikings failed to overhaul a modest target for the second time in three games after they were dismissed for a lowly 95 to suffer a 28-runs NatWest T20 Blast defeat to Durham Jets.
After suffering a 22-runs defeat on Saturday to Nottinghamshire Outlaws having failed to reach a victory target of 144, their batting failed again as they searched for the victory that would have propelled them to third in the North Group table.
Chasing Durham's modest total of 123 for nine after they won the toss and decided to bat first, Yorkshire slumped to 95 all out in only 17.2 overs after losing nine wickets for 48 runs – narrowly beating Yorkshire's lowest ever T20 total of 90-9, also against Durham at Chester-le-Street in 2009.
Yorkshire's victory was all the harder to take after Adil Rashid dropped last man Chris Rushworth off his own bowling from the final ball of the 17th over with Durham on 94-9.
That drop allowed Rushworth to team up with Gareth Breese, who finished unbeaten on 30 off 19 balls, and add a crucial 29 runs off the final 20 overs of Durham's innings that allowed them to secure a surprise victory.
Until that point, Yorkshire's spinners had appeared to laid the foundations for victory with Rashid's leg-spin and the off-spin of Azeem Rafiq, who claimed 6-34 runs in their eight overs.
Rafiq finished with 3-20, his best return since claiming career-best figures of 3-15 against Lancashire at Old Trafford in 2011, while Rashid grabbed 3-14 as Durham struggled to set a competitive total on a dry wicket.
Other than Breese, only two other Durham players reached double figures with Ryan Pringle hitting 17, while Phil Mustard attempted to hold the innings together with 40 off 43 balls.
Despite losing captain Andrew Gale in only the second over to a catch in the deep, the first of three wickets for Australian seamer John Hastings, Yorkshire appeared on course not only for a comfortable victory, but also to improve their run-rate.
But after racing to 47-1 in the sixth over, the loss of Alex Lees – bowled off his pad by Hastings – set off a stunning collapse that set the scene for Durham's shock triumph.
Scott Borthwick, Durham's leg-spinning all-rounder, made amends for his first-ball duck during their innings to turn the game, winning an lbw appeal against Aaron Finch as he attempted to sweep and then taking a brilliant diving catch to his left off the next ball to dismiss Adam Lyth.
Borthwick finished with 2-11 from four outstanding overs to continue the spinner's dominance during the match and two more moments of confusion running between the wickets accelerated Yorkshire's downfall.
Tim Bresnan was run out after Rashid called for a quick single after driving to cover and then last man Ryan Sidebottom was also run out going for a third run to end the game and leave Yorkshire needing to bounce back quickly against North Group leaders Worcestershire Rapids at New Road tomorrow night.

It's more than just alliteration; it's a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too. A hard thing to disagree with, we know. Drink up, get down and go to sleep happy.

SOUTH Australia survived a bizarre batting implosion to complete its trip to Melbourne with two wins and buttress its bid for a second consecutive Ryobi Cup title.
SA, chasing 242, was on track to inflict another humiliating defeat on Victoria as Michael Klinger (88) and Phillip Hughes (73) posted a near-record opening stand of 164 against the Bushrangers at the MCG on Wednesday evening.
Klinger's 34th-over departure triggered a panic that spread through the Redbacks batting line-up and caused them to concede 6-48. Most of the dismissals were unfathomably bad swipes directly to fielders in the deep. The game-changing bowler was seamer Scott Boland, whose simple strategy of digging the ball in short was somehow lost on the batsmen who kept delivering catches to outfielders, such as Alex Keath, who got three.
When Boland claimed his fifth wicket, in the 44th over, the visitors had lost all their specialist batsmen and still had 30 runs to get. From that point wicketkeeper Tim Ludeman strategically plundered 26 runs from 11 deliveries to lead the Redbacks to a four-wicket win in the 47th over.
Going into the Big Bash League break, SA's win put it in a strong position to make the Ryobi Cup final - and, on form, probably host it.
Victoria's top five batsmen had all departed by the 29th over, which left the revival responsibility to youngsters Peter Handscomb and Keath.
The MCG crowd had earlier been treated to the worst and best of Ludeman. The worst was when Glenn Maxwell's reckless top-edge flew straight up in the air and was somehow spilled when it eventually returned to earth. The best was his leg-side stumping of David Hussey for one off a Johan Botha wide, followed closely by snaring a bottom-edge chance off danger man Aaron Finch for 46, again off the Redbacks' wily captain Botha.
Neither Handscomb nor Keath, especially the latter, was particularly adept at hitting boundaries. It was therefore encouraging they still managed to keep their 74-run partnership at close to a run a ball.
Wicketkeeper Handscomb's half-century was his third in as many innings against the Redbacks. Besides the Test call-up of John Hastings, the performance of 21-year-old Handscomb was a highlight for Victoria across an overall disappointing round against the Redbacks.
Victoria's main nemesis was Gary Putland. While the left-armer was uncertain to play because his 12-92 in the shield match came off a massive 62 overs, the decision to keep him in the one-day team was vindicated by his 4-44.
For much of SA's innings the main interest centred on whether the visitors would win comfortably enough to get a bonus point and whether the mighty partnership between Klinger and Hughes would be the biggest ever against Victoria. When the openers' stand ended on 164, it was 14 short of the record.

Publication of a Sunday Missal in Malawi
Monday, March 24, 2014
Project Code: 135-08-89
"Since the Holy Mass is the heart and soul of the Church, we do not need to explain why this project is so important for these three dioceses." These were the words of Bishop Martin Anwel Mtumuka, who wrote to ACN seeking support for the publication of a Sunday Missal in Malawi.Some 80% of the 14 million inhabitants of Malawi are Christians, with roughly a quarter of the population being Catholics. In this nation of southeast Africa, many different languages are spoken, though there are two especially significant languages. These are Chichewa, which is used in the liturgy in six dioceses, and Tumbuka, which is spoken in two of the Malawian Dioceses and in the northern part of the Diocese of Chipata in the neighboring country of Zambia. Work is now beginning in the Diocese of Karonga on the translation of a Catholic Missal in the Tumbuka language, so that it can be used in the liturgy in the dioceses concerned.The Church has her hands full in this region. In the Diocese of Karonga there are just 14 priests to minister to close to 65,000 Catholics. They have to travel long distances in hilly terrain in order to reach the Catholic faithful. It goes without saying that in such conditions the pastoral care provided can never be sufficiently intensive. Traditional pagan practices and belief in witchcraft are still widespread, even among Catholics. On top of this, there is a proliferation of Pentecostal groups and sects. Hence it is vitally important to strengthen and deepen the Catholic faith among the baptized. "This project should help to deepen people's understanding of the Liturgy," says Father Joseph Sikwese, the priest responsible for the publication of the missal. He added, "Many people still go along after Holy Mass to the Pentecostals." So when the missal is finally published, it will go hand in hand with an ongoing educational program by means of which the priests, altar servers, church choirs and catechists will be able to deepen and expand their knowledge of the Faith and their understanding of the liturgy. ACN is helping with a contribution of $11,100. Will you help Father Sikwese and Bishop Mtumuka publish this Sunday Missal in Malawi? We are sure they will remember you in their grateful prayers.Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

Maybe you noticed that new link over in the links section? It's marked Cub Hub.
It's an official project by the Boy Scouts of America to gather up and present some of the best ideas about Scouting that are being shared on Social Networking sites all across the Internet.
Check it out – it's pretty cool! Hopefully they will do something similar for Boy Scouting soon.

Russian President Medvedev approved the decision regarding the religious scholars to start duty officially in the army. At the moment there are around 400 religious scholars that are in charge within the millitary units. Besides that, travelling churches and mosques are allocated.
The developments in Russia remind us of a saying by the late Muslim scholar Bediuzzaman from his work Emirdag Addendum;
"A Russian cannot stand away from religion. He cannot turn back to become a Christian, either. He can only reconcile himself with or be subject to the Qur'an, which indeed breaks the blasphemy, is based on truth and reality, relies on evidence and proof, and convinces the minds and the hearts."

Designer Fernando Abellanas has constructed a tiny studio beneath a busy overpass in Spain. Complete with movable walls, light furnishings and a hand crank that transports the structure along two metal rails, the micro-dwelling hangs high above the ground in a manner reminiscent to the kind of secret hideaway or fort one might have as a child. See more images by Jose Manuel Pedrajas below!

As a huge food nerd, I'm always up for an hour of Mo Rocca's in-depth dissection of fascinating food themes in Food(ography). In fact, I occasionally take notes. Here are five cool things I learned from the first six minutes of yesterday evening's episode of Food(ography), Hot and Spicy:
- You should eat spicy foods when it's hot outside! It's harder for your body to digest food in warmer weather, but chemicals in spices aid in digestion. So go make some salsa today!
- A pepper's spicy heat isn't measured in degrees; it's measured in Scoville heat units, which indicate the amount of capsaicin in the pepper.
- The milk myth is real! According to Francis Lam, the heat in a pepper is actually an oil, so water washes right over it. Drinking milk or some type of fat is the key to easing the burn, because fat can connect and pull it off your nerve endings.
- Ghost chili peppers from India are considered the hottest peppers in the world.
- Seppuku is a type of Japanese ritualized suicide performed by slashing the stomach. Gross, but it's actually the perfect name for the very hottest-of-the-hot hot wings at Buffalo Cantina in Brooklyn, NY. Secret ingredient: pepper extract, also used to make mace. This extreme dish is served with a challenge (12 wings in 3 minutes) and a liability waiver.
If you missed the episode last night, tune in again on Thursday, Aug. 18 at 8pm ET to catch all the danger and drama (lots of tears!), more hot dishes, spicy-food eateries and tons of fiery facts on Food(ography) Hot and Spicy. And if you're craving something hot, browse 100 spicy recipes from Cooking Channel chefs.
